YYe believe that our readers will thank
for publishing the speech of Mr. Val-
lamlingham, about which so much has
been said and written. It is too long to
be inserted entire this week. It will be
concluded in our next. Of course we do
not agree, for a moment, with some of his
positions. W'e publish liis speech as an
effort worthy in power and eloquence to
stand beside the great speech of Lord
Chatham in the times of the first Revolu
tion. As an intellectual effort, displaying
the genius and eloquence of its author,
it has few equals in this or any other
country.

A good garden at any time is gold to the
owner. But at this time it is invaluable.
Vegetables are healthy, and for six month.'
must be the sole dependence of many
families. Every foot of soil in the gar

will l»e very high in the summer, and al
most out of the reach of many poor peo
ple. How necessary then to have a good
garden. If seed are scarce, those who
have more than they need for their own
use should divide with their neighbors,
and especially with the poor. Let us all
t r y to save as much corn and bacon as we
can, so that the army may be better sup
plied with these indispensable articles. In
no way can we do so hut by securing an
abundance of vegetables. People in the
country generally neglect the garden; hut
when provisions are so scarce and high,
the farmer will do injustice to himself, and
indirectly to his country, if he fails to le-
stow some care upon the kitchen

On Monday last, the busiest day of all

E Vitors were called off for duty in Court.
Bright and early Tuesday morning, one
of our Compositors took French leave for
foreign parts, accompanied by bis sweet
heart, and tbe twain, ere this, are united
in tiie holy bands of wedlock. About tbe
same time two other compositors were
sudds nly called off, by one ot those peri
odical events which will happen in every
well regulated family. The “Boss” of the
mechanical department, had all the ambi
tious aspirations of his life culminated sud-

“Let every man, woman and child at

Every grain carefully entrusted to the
fruitful earth is a mite of contribution to
the Nation’s liberty. Every acre of cot
ton planted is a comfort to our enemies,
and a nail in the coffin of Confederate in
dependence. ”
Wo go further and say, that iho man
who plants cotton to sell, isas much guilty
of stabbing tbe heart of our country as
the meanest Abolitionist in Lincoln’s army.
It matters not that lie only does it indi
rectly, tbe result in both cases is tbe same,
however different the motive may be.

are fighting the Country’s battles. Let
tbe blessed women of the country goon in

and let everybody help bis neighbor as far
