growth of onr various crops—hence we
find the corn and cotton erojis at the
first of July full v up to the season. With
the exception of the slight frost dining
the latter portion of April, we hardly
recollect to have seen a Spring mote
genet.-illv favorable to the uniform
growth of vegetation. The crop (cot
ton and corn) is full early, and we nay
safely say, better than au average one
at this time.
The Cotton Crop.— This crop, at this
writing, isretnarkat.lv promising, blooms
eariier than usual, (27ih May) less af
fected. so far as our intonration has ex
tended. bv the insect (aplti) than usual.
The dry weather throughout neatly tile
entire month of May. has proved highly
favorable to ;he health of the plant, and
•also to the planter, enabling him in
bringing his cotton to a stand, to reliese
it. entirely of all grass and weeds— w hen
the rains (on the 28th of May) set in
most opjwntunely and seasonably. Your
cotton will-need nothing now hut the
constant use of the sweep. It should he
constantly passing through the cotton
rows, so as to have the surface well pul
verized and all grass and weds kept
down. Deep plowing about tile plant
now, or bedding tip the soil about i's
roots, will prove fatal to the crop. N*
more should he put to cotton now, than
is pulled away from it in the removal of
the grass that may be about it. The
hilling of cotton is not the wotk of Ju!\ ;
and whenever cotton is hilled or dirted.
after it has fairly commenced hearing,
the young bolls will perish and drop oft'
in two or three days afthr blooming.—
The reason why this is so, is easily e-
nough ciunj r hended by those who have
had their alt. ntion directed to the suh-
j.-et of vegetable economy. The si.ott-
gioles of the surface root* of the plant,
that assimilate food, exclusively perhaps,
for the fruit of the plant, never make
heir appearance at the surface of the
soil, tinder and about the plant, it (the
plant) gets into full bearing, when thev
(the spongioles) may he seen, ly the
thousand, at any litne after a shower of
rain, with tlie naked eve, shooting up.
as we have frequently seen, a full half
inch above the surface. Now, if a quan
tity of earth be piled upon these in the
process of billing, as is often the case,
like young grass so treated, they are
smothered, fermentation sets in. ami
they die! Thus, the supply of food to
the young boll being cut off it or they
must also perish and fall off. The plant
and its fruit sustain much less damage
when these spongioles are shaved off at
the surface bv the boe, than by smoth
ering them in this unseasonable hilling
process. Drive ahead, then, with your
sweeps, and as the limbs of the plant
spread out toward the middle of the
rows, run less often in the row, till final-j
l v the interlocking of the limbs stop the
teams altogether, by which time the
work of picking must commence.
The Turnip Crop.—This crop will
claim your attention during this month :
and if you wish the finest and larg-st
crop you ever saw, per acre, plow up the
land thoroughly this month, lty running
first with a good turn plow, (with double
ricliing your compost heap, by hauling
from the low marshy places about the
branches, and other wafer courses cone
tiguous tojyonr plantation, mulch or oth
er sedeinentary matters. This should
not he neglected. wLere it is possible to
make it available. Compost manure,
thus prepared, richly abounds in food
for every variety of onr cultivated crops.
It is much cheaper and far more satis
factory. where the planter makes it a
part of his plantation operations, to re
main here at home, and in this wav
make rich and productive his already
cleared lands, than it is ts break up and
remove to the inhospitable “far West.”
First Blood Shed for Liberty in the
Revolution.
The first blood shed in defense ov
erly and in opposing English oppres
sions was in the South. The State of
North Carolina—ti.e “old North Stale,”
and twin sister of South Carolina—is
entitled to the honor. It-was during the
gubernatorial administration of the no
torious Governor Tryon, the English
Governor at the time, w ho built one of
It* most splendid palaces in either
North or Somli America, at Newbetn,
N. C.. with the proceeds of taxes impos
ed upon the people for tin* purpose, and
io resist whi h taxation a portion ot
them rebelled, just as did the men of
Massachusetts, aflnwards. It took place
in the year 1771, and is narrated by
Mr. Wheeler, in Ins history of Noith
Carolina. On the 16th of May, in that
year, a battle was fought between the
American and British forces, on the
banks of the Alamance river, in w hat is
now known as the county of that name,
called the Battle of Alamance. The
American forces were called the “Reg
ulators,” from their efforts in endeavot-
ing to bring about an equitable regula
tion of taxes and other oppressive mat
ters. I’lie Ameiican forces amounted to
two thousand, and were headed by three
men named Husbands, Hunter and Dul
ler; while the British forces, including
militia called out by Tivnn, amounted
to upwards of eleven hundred, but had
the advantage greatly in arms and dis
cipline. As might have been expected,
the Americans were defeated, after an
action of two hours, with a loss of twen
ty dead and several wounded, while that
of the roval forces, wounded and missing,
was sixtv-one. Mr. Wheler says:
“ Thus ended the battle of Alamance.
Thus and here was the first blood spilled
in these United States, in resistance to
exactions of English tillers' aDd oppres
sions bv the English government. ‘The
great Wolf of South Carolina’ showed
bis blood-thirsty temper by acts of re
venge, cruelty, and barbarity. He hung
Captain Tew the next day, without trial,
on a tree.”
It was in this case, as Byron truly says
in one of bis poems—
“ For Freedom’s battle once begun,
Bequeathed from bleeding sire to son.
Though sometimes lost, is ever wou.” j
Thus wf see that it was at the battle j
of Alamance, and not at Bunker Hill,
then, with a good subsoil plow, drawn
bv a strong team ; follow immediately
in the turn plow furrow, and raise the
Mih-soi! to ilie depth of 15 to 18 inches.
This done, spread on the land ten dol
lars worth ot guano per acre, say 500
lbs., which plow in with scooters that
will level and pulverize the surface. If
you have not guano, use 1.000 bushels
of good stable manure, spread and plow
ed in as above. Then lay your rows. 30

Humored Destination of the French

The altiiude of the French Emperor
is altogether quite mysterious enough to
satisfy the most ardeut lover of the ro
mance of history. He is really sulaiit-
ing Europe by silence, and, by merely
holding his tongue, keeps a million
armed men of every nation constantly
upon the gut vice. The last suggestion
I have heard in regard to the objects of
this extraordinary naval activity comes
fiom a quarter which I am not at liber-
tv to mention, but is of itself quite odd
enough to attract attention in America.
You know that he has been making ar-
not too thick. This will give you a crop,

The Harp of a Thousand Strings.
Come generous frieuds, ft little while,
And listen to my song.
And though my suhject s very great.
My story wou’t be long—
I’m goiog to sing about the timet
And several other things—
We’U sing the words and play the tune
Ou the Harp of s Thousand Strings.
Religion. Politics end Law
Are ranging under par.
And seen by microscopic aid,
In pulpit, forum, bar;
A focus brought on either one.
The same result still brings—
A human being playing away
Ou the Ui£p of n Thousand Strings.
The preachers don't do as they used to do
In the good old days gone by ;
They used to preach of the souls of men
’Till they tnnde the women cry :
But they read their sermons now a days,
And the choir strikes up and sings.
And the folks can't join when the tune is
play’J
On a Harp of ft Thousand Strings.
The members don't do as they used to do
Their zeal and love's grown cold ;
They're thinking of the corn they've rais
ed.
And how to get more gold :
And though the preacher reads quite
well.
Their conscience never stings :
They'd rather steal the crown of gold
And a Harp or a Thousand Strings.
The politician used to he
A man of some renown :
Now half a dozen would-be such
Are found in every town :
For when one finds he can make ft speech
Or soar on buzzard's wings.
He mounts a lobby nnd plays away
Ou the Harp of a Thousnrd Strings.
No matter how corrupt he is:
How oft lie turns his coat.
The m minatiou sets him right,
He gets the people's vote :
He eats his fili at Ilie public crib ;
He drinks at the public springs :
The charm succeeds, he plays so well
Ou the Harp of a Thousand Strings.
Then let us take a hasty view
Of Justice and the Bar:
Alas ! how quickly we discern
How altered all things are :
The sword and scales are little used.
The culprit se'dom swings.
For gold will make a lawyer play
On the Harp of a Thousand Strings.
So turn your eyes to every part
Of Uncle Sam's machine,
You'll find a screw that s working looso ;
Some place that need a pin;

Although my muse still brings
A verse or two for every chord

Look Before yon Kick.
A minister recently, w hile on his way
to preach a funeral sermon in the coun
try, calle.l to see one of his members,
an old widow- lady, who lived near tile
road he was traveling. The old lady
had just been making sausages, and
she felt proud of them, they were so
plump, round and sweet. Of course she
insisted on her minister taking some of
the links home to his family. lie ob
jected on account of not having bis port
manteau along. Ilis objection was soon
overruled, and the old lady after wrap
ping them tip in a piece of cloth, care
fully placed a bundle in either pocket
of the preacher’s capacious coat. Thus
equipped, he started for the funeral.
While attending to the solemn cere
monies of the grave, some hungry dogs
scented the sausages, and were not long
in tracking them lo the pockets of the
good man’s overcoat. Of course this
was great annovance, and he .vas sever
al times under the necessity of k’cking
those whelps away. The obsequies at
the grave completed, the minister and
congregation repaired to the church
where the discourse was to lie preached.
After the sermon was finished, the
minister halted to make some remarks j
to his congregation, when a brother,
who wished to have an appointment
given out, ascended the steps of thepul-
Proposal for the Establishment of a,
Political Party, to be called " The
People’s Party of the Union.”
All discerning men must have per
ceived, and all conscientious men must
admit that, owing to various causes,
some of which have been operating lot
years, and others which are of but re
cent origin, there is no political party
now existing among U3, co-extensive
with the republic, everywhere asserting
and maintaining the same principles,
and free alike from sectionalism and cor
ruption. The necessity for such a party
is evident, and enlightened patriots are

merisan nationality, to be exemplified is
the foreign and domestic policy of onr geu-
nerftl government.
In respect to nations abroad. By the
observance of a firm, bold, yet jnst. prudent
and consistent conduct in all iotereonrse
with them,—promptly conceding nnd with
like promptness redressing all wrongs, and
by causing the American flag to protect ths
persons and property of nil having a right
(o its protection in all parts of the world.
In respect to interest at home. First by
the adoption of a wise, disinterested, and
provident legislation for the protection and
furtherance upon principles of juatics and
everywhere acknowledging it. Corrup

there is no one of the party organiza- j tl * e country—the agricultural, the meebaa-
lions now existing capable of healing or J 10n '’ t * ,e tnercnntiie, the manufacturing, and
eoriecting it—no one in regard to which j ‘h« commercial.
there does not exist mistrust and dissal- , .
faction in tbe public mind of the cot.n- j Naval and Military Preparation, of
try.
Sectional prejudice has grown and
strengthened greatly of late in the two
opposite sections of the cenfedeiacy.—
The appetite for official spoils seems to
have become the ruling passion, and a
spirit of blind partnership very widely
to prevail and govern. Respect and af
fection for the institutions of our fath
ers are rapidly giving way to contempt
for the government and laws, and to
the most alarming spirit and anarchy
and lawlessness—The government is 'n
process of contracting an enormous debt
whilst the high and essential purposes
of all free government are almost entire
ly disregarded.
There are good men and true, enlight
ened patriots, respecters of law- and lov
ers of the Uniott to be found in the
North, the South, the £ast, the West,
whom it is in the highest degree desi
rable to draw into fraternal union and
efficient co-operaticn for tbe weeding
nut of corruption, the reformation for a-
buses, the restoration for a healihfui con
servative spirit in the public councils,
and the maintainance of the Union it
self upon its own original principles.
With a view to these ends, therefore,
we, heretofore members of the various
|>olitica! parties into which the Ameri
can people are divided, do resolve and
declare our determination to establish,
and further, with all our energies, a po
litical party, to be called “ The People’s
Party of the Union and we heartily
invite all patriotic citizens to unite and
co-operste with us in the following
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
1. We place our trust in the Supreme
Being in whose keeping are nations as
well as individuals, in whom our fathers
hoped, and by whose favor upon their
patriotic efforts, our country rejoices in
Christian civilization, political indepen
dence and a republican form of govern
meat.
2. We are in favor of unlimited freedom,
in religion, disconnected from politics; of
protection for nil popular rights, and of
more thoroughly popularizing onr govern
ment by making the offices of President aDd
Vice President elective by a direct vote of
tbe people.
3 For the protection of the ballot-box we
France.
France is undoubtedly arming on •
scale, with a method, a syslem, and a
deliberation, truly formidable to all her
neighbors—whether, like ourselves, they
have the good fortune to be sheltered
from the impending storm under the
umbrageous branches of au entente cor-
diale—whether, like P*e!giuiii, Pied
mont and Spain, in the consciousness of *
their inability to resist, they listen with
no unreasonable trepidation for the first
howl of the coming tempest—or wheth
er, like Austria, they know not how
soou they niay.be compelled to fight for
their dominions against a brave snd
well-disciplined enemy. France is cer
tainly arming, and arming both by land
and t-.ea. Her anny, already large, ia
undergoing considerable increase. She
is just on the point of completing a rail
way which connects all her military sta
tions with the fortifications of Cher
bourg, a port constructed at enormous
pains and at vast expense, and posses^
sing every facility that skill can devise
for the simultaneous embarkation of ve
ry large bodies of troops. France is,
besides, busily engaged in tbe construc
tion of a great steam fleet, armed and
propelled on the very best and newest
principles at preseut developed by the
art of war; she is gathering up her co
lossal strength, aud would appear to be
on the eve of some vast enterprise, in
the prosecution of which that strength
is to be put forth to the utmost. Not
only is the military element studiously
strengthened and increased, but it is be
ginning to fissfrt a predominance over
civilians which shows itself more aud
more every day, and naturally makes us
anxious about our relations with a coun
try in which the balance is so complete
ly pressed down by the superior weight
of the military class.
It is in vain that we seek for anything
in i ho present condition of France,
which can account for tbe remarkable
proceedings lo which we most unwil
lingly allude. The finances of the coun
try are in a state that must render any
naval or military expenditure not abfto-
luHy called for by necessity or honor
peculiarly inexpedient.
