The first dawn. of another morn

As if hesitating to announce itself

The first dawn of this third morn
ing, since the commencementi-sf
the scenes and incidents around
•La.urel Hill, and .Rich; j Mountain,
would seem to hide in tlie forest,
or weep because of its doty to an
nounce its coining and the " devel

This" third of a series of days,
laden-with sufferings, hunger, tri

close will beyabla to tell "-its .Own
tale, perhaps of m'a&y on whom its
sun-will set forever, stands jnst a
ljttierway off claiming recognition;
stands ready to .knock forad mis

Each soldier at this momfent, if
conscious, would ■ enquire of the
other: Who must die to-day? Or,
in his own mind ofjiimself. Is it
I? Gdri. Garnett would enquire-of
his staff: Who of us must die to

This Saturday morning’s dawn
which finds us in the mud and rain

This morning, of. all others,
froughf with the'' soon occiirreiif
scenes and incidents of its own,
and the recurrent ones of yester
day, comes halting aud hesitating,
as if in.compassion and pity, to
■rear, and.all must be moving down
the mountain and-across Cheat riv

is now straining every nerve to get
the head of column in motioD, the
artillery, the overloaded wagons of
sick and way-worn soldiers, and
seems to be "suffering under some
terrible oppression" add anxiety,
or solicitude to reach and cross.
Cheat river before McClellan may
again overtake and assail him. He
would seem to send back this, .ex
clamation and greeting to you: >•
“Be of good cheer” my soldiers,

the same bodily ills, but the tor-
t'uriti of mi nd in anxiety . for you

Arouse yourselves for the day
which hangs,—perhaps more preca
riously in the balance thau all the
past together, and will require the
residue of. endurance and valor to
meet the necessities of the i
disturb, the death-like .silence, or
make%iiown its missip’n to arouse
the sleeping and unconscious sol
diers from their couches of mud to
a fresh serine of their hunger, and
to a. ren'ewil 1 of 'time and ‘ circum

them. ..
Conies in ;the guise of ram pat

guards unnoticed and unobserved.
Comes witho.ut s'hout .and without
Borig, or as if yet pleading with ^na
ture to stay its coming ’till another
day; still to hold the night over
the sleeping . and way worn sol
diers.
But nature refuses or fails long
er to listen to its heartfelt plead
ings for man; refuses obeyance to,
this subterfuge of an argument, br
in its complication with time to dal-
ly longer with the immediate open
ing of. day; to’execute tlie inexora

Sight the darkness of night.
Now first- the watchmen in doubt,
and then the'guards, begin to' peer
through the gloom and from side
to side of the friendly old tree
which to some extent had shelter
ed aud-shielded-thysn • during the
painful and lonely watches of the
night, to ascertain the truth of the
intimation of its coming. Bright
er and brighter, grow the sur
roundings, when suddenly the
watchmen hails the guards, andrihe
guards shout aloud to the soldiers:

This cry. now breaks like- a hoy-

Upon the immeterial man
as an apparition to vanish even
with its coming, or in a fitful mo

death knell, crushing every hope of
the present, or as if; to dash to
pieced the last ^hanee of deliver

Apparition and reality coni-.
Now" the neighing of the hungry
animals, th6.groans of the addi

mud and rain, the palling, hauling
and shaking of the one comrade by

death-like sleep or stupor, all seem
to" conspire- to make" hideous the
beginning of this another,.and our
third day.
Gen. Garnett a staff officers are

AN" INCOME TAX.
Greensboro Herald-Journal.
the
Among trie reforms in the ad
ministration qf the general govern
ment which will be demanded by
the farmers apd wage earners is
an equalization of the burdens of
taxation. It- is a clear fact" that-
the middle classes support the
greater portion of this burden,
while the rich contribute towards
the expenses in no degree com
mensurate with the" benefits they
receive.
Under the tariff system at pres
ent in force, and from whichfhe
major portion of the revenues of
the government, are obtained, the
middle classes are taxed upon near
ly every article they use. They
pay tribute upon the ciothes'which
shield them from the wintef'eold"
or the summer heat, upon tLie-food
they consume, upon the dishes,
tinware, cutlery, upon the imple
ments used in the prosecution of
their various,business. None are
exempt. It falls upon the farmer,

Apparently every effort and ev
ery nerve is strained to urge the
column forward, but time already
begins to hang like a pall upon us
as it is known arid now reported by
the mounted scouts in our rear
that"McClellan does not fail to gain
on us with every hour.
Indeed the scouts now frequent
ly begin to warn ns of his rapid
and heavy approach. “Harry the
front of column to and across
Cheat river with the gieatest dis
patch,” is sent forward again and
-again to Gen. Garnett now in the
front preparing and beginning to
cross the army by fording and
swimming Cheat river.
Again another horseman dashes
up to the rear guard and (reports
that it is believed McClellan h.-t
added a heavy force of mounted
infantry to his regular cavalry
force, and now really beginning to

Excitement, anxiety, and per
haps dread, is depicted on the
countenance of every soldier com
posing the rear guard. The wea
ry and heavy laden step picks up
without knowing why; the mind
by iatnition does not fail to grasp
the situation, nor to infuse iuspi-
ation through every nerve of the
soldier.
. Our army is in front, but per
haps not yet across the river. Ev
ery moment is a golden one to
Garnett, and a power to McClellan
if to overtake him this side of the

wit: “Garnett’s army crushed and
captured on and in Cheat river by
McClellan.” (

Only once within the memory of
men living was the water above
Niagara so blocked as to expose to
view the rocky ledge over which
the waters are uou r pouring. It
was-about 40 years ago, one winter
day. The people living near were
ay/akened in the dead of night by

crowds came to the falls to see the
strange sight—the rocks over which
the water had ponred for centuries,
laid bare. In the late afternoon

sleeping or waking draws from tlie
earnings of his brawn—and brain,
the pound of flesh. We will not
enter into a discussion at this time
as to whit disposition is made of
this blood money—how it is squan
dered in extravagant appropria-
tions. These facts are riot" perti
nent at this time. Yet, the mid
dle classes have paid the tax, al
most uncomplainingly, inspired
only by the desire, ns good citi
zens, to support the government
which gives them protection.
It has been paid under the be
lief that the burden bore, equally
on all; and tho mechanic and the
farmer were eager to do their part.
Bat it has been revealed to them
that they have been , the victims of
unjust favoritism, and they de
maud. reform. Bondholders and
millionaires, those who eDjoy. in
the highest degree the protection
afforijed by government to life aud
property, have contributed but lit
tle towards that government. Up
on the contrary, they have bled,
the people and made the burden
heavier.
Is not their demand a just- one?
Should not those who reap great
est protection from the govern
ment aid most in maintaining that
government?
Is it right that the riumble far
mer, who labors from January to
December, barely making a suste-
hanca; or the mechanic wher strug
gles from dawn till dark for food
aud raiment, carry upon their
shoulders the weight brail the ex
travagance and luxury of the gov
ernment, founded upon the princi
ple that it is “a-government of-the.
people?” It is not -right-,-and jus-
tice demands that those classes
who reap the benefits aud protec
tion to the greatest extent, should
cohtribute most to its mainten
ance.
An income tax, graduated in
just proportion,..is an honest and
just reform. The people in this
"demand are backed by a righteous
principle, and being righteous it
must eventually triumph. There
will be specious argument to set
aside this reform movement, but
the people of these United States
love fairness and honesty, and
they, knowing all tlie facts, will
insist upon their demand, and the
weight of money which-will be
thrown against them will not hall
them. -

coming to this country than ever
before. ~ According" to our dis
patches" 5,390 landed at New York
cm Tuesday of last week. -This is
the largest number that has ever
landed in this country in one day..
. It is welhuuderstood that there
is a growing hostility to the more
undesirable class of immigrants.
Congress has recently passed laws
to keep undesirable immigrants
out of the country.. The laws, how
ever, do not appear to be very
strictly enforced.
One is almost justified in believ
ing that the immigration commis
sioners and the steamship compa
nies that transport emigrants to
this country have an understand
ing that all immigrants which ar
rive shall he admitted.
The charge is made, and it ap
pears to be well founded, that the
agents of the steamship companies
are chiefly responsible for the
large number of emigrants coming
here at this time. It is asserted that
they have solicitors all through the
countries that are now furnishing
the emigrants, and that ' these
agents accept anybody who can
gather together enough money to
pay bis .passage. They induce the
people by all sort3 of attractive
representations to - leave their
hemes for .this country. . The
steamships offer very low rates of
transportation, because what they
get for carrying emigrants is so
much clear gain. They are main
ly tramp steamers, and have to
come to this country for cargoes.
If these statements are true, the
steamship companies are mainly
responsible for the largo number
of undesirable emigrants coming
here. Instead,,therefore, of send
ing a committee to Europe to find
out the reason for the increase in
the number of emigrants coming
to our shores, the methods employ
ed by the steamship companiesto
increase their human cargoes
should be inquired into. There; is
no use spending a large sum of
money to collect information which
will be of little practical value,,and
which can be much more readily
obtained through our consuls in
European cities.
The immigration evil is reach
ing-vast proportions. Thousands:
of people are being damped, as it
were, on our shores who are not
fitted for taking care of themselves,
and who would be better off, from
every point of view, in the land of
their nativity.
The gaverumeut does not seem
to attack this eyil with the vigor it
should. Cari it be that the steam
ship companies wield a greater in
fluence than they should? Are
the immigration com mission era in
clined to construe the immigration
laws leniently, in order that those
companies, may reap a rich har
vest, notwithstanding the steadily
increasing public sentiment that
immigration should be thoroughly
sifted, and only those admitted
who have the necessary means to
provide :for their immediate wants,
and who give promise of becoming
good citizens. This immigration
question is going . to be an impor
tant one in congress next wintea.
Southern Cultivator and Dixie Farmer.
How shall we supplement the
shait oat crop? It is very evident
at this time thrit the oat crop will
be unusually short; both on ac
count oLthe small acreage put in,
and from the evil effects of ihe late
drought. This deficiency can be
made good, to a large extent, by
putting stubble land in peas, ei-
their planted in drills and cultiva
ted or sown broadcast The former
will usually give a larger yield of
pe.as, the latter a larger yield of
vines. This- work can be done at
any time between the 1st of May
and the 15th of July. Probably
the best time for sowing in drills
is from the 5th to the 20th of
June. This, too, brings the culti
vation on after the push of the
cotton crop is over. When so a u
broadcast for Bay they will usually
give a larger yield by being sowrr^
daring the month of May.
Peavine hay comes nearer taking
the place of sheath oats than any
thing else I have ever tried. If it
is desired to have the vines as free
as possible from crab grass, - turn
the land with a good two-horse
plow, inverting the sod completely,
and harrow in one and odo quarter
bushels of peas per acre. If this
is done after a good rain the peas
will come np at once, and take en
tire possession of the land before
?he gras can get a start. Tlie Ac
me or Cutaway harrow is a good
tool for this purpose. If it is pre- ~
ferred to have some crab grass with
the peavine hay, then the land may
be broken with one-horse plows,
three pecks of peas sown per acre,
or one-half bushel will answer very
well. In eithsr case the peas
should be harrowed in, as they
will come up more uniformly, and
the ground left in proper condition
for mowing.
I generallly prefer to have some
crab grass with my vines, ns the
hay can be cured more' easily and
rapidly.
There is no crop on which a
small quantity of fertiliser shows
to better advantage than on peas.
One hundred pounds per acre
even, will make a vast difference
in the crop. I have been, much
pleased with a mixture of 100
pounds meal and 400 pounds acid
phosphate as a fertilizer for peas.
If. the peas are sown broadcast not
less than 200 .pounds of this mix
ture shduld be applied per acre.
Brother tarmers, let me beg you
to sow peas. The benefit to the

T. J. Jackson in Toccoa (Ga.) News.
The land best suited is a loam,
rich mellow soil. Set the plants
as early as you can get them large
enough, four or five feet apart each
wayr" Cultivate .thoroughly; keep
all suckers pinched off; allow only
the main stalk to grow. When the
plant is twelve inches high, drive
securely by it a stake eight or ten
feet high; continue to prune and
tie to the stake. The fruit stems
and suckers, or wood growth, are
separate and distinct from each
other, so you need not mistake
them.
Vines thus treated will bear
from the ground, and grow ten-
feet high, making more and finer
quality of fruit than if the ground
was covered with vines, and" ample
room to get aronnd to gather tbe
fruit without bruising the vines,
and expose to easy view the ugly
worms that depredate upon the
Tines.
Iam confident that 500 bushels
to the acre can be grown.
