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.

Now" the neighing of the hungry animals, th6.groans of the addi tional sick soldiers lying in the mud and rain, the palling, hauling and shaking of the one comrade by the other to arouse him from his death-like sleep or stupor, all seem to" conspire- to make" hideous the beginning of this another,.and our third day.

Just here my diary say"s:.. : *"-'\" “I am detailed on rear guard, aiKhhurriedly bidding adiue to my frieiidaud night companion, Jim Duncan, (who is now trying to rub open fiis eyes, and vainly pleading with-fate for one more moment to sleep) and calling baclr to him to inform my friends, should I never return, that my bones will ble^ph somewhere ei ther on Cheat-mountain or on, the banks of Cheat river—if not indeed had become food for some water animal in, that- .stream; ytt still hobbling, hack (for my feet are badly blistered arid: I'can scarcely walk) to the rear where, from clif- iererit "directioris, others of this guard are assembling; or occasion ally looking back to see my friends hobbling on down the mountain (my mind badly, -disturbed) and communing with myself as to why the fates had been so hard on me, "or why T had not been some other soldier who had not been detailed, qv.how i.t.happened that my name had come around so soon again for thisigeneralduty,or calling to mind the rascal whose name came ahead of mine in alphabetical order, but who claiming to be sick, or unable for duty; was.in iny-opinion, no worse off than myself, • • •*<•* All these though ts stiried me'to the bottom, aud-about this -time I would have almost given the world to have seen one single force, or friend of my own company. Slowly turning from this consul tation or reverie with myseif to get one more glimpse " of my frieuds, now.nearly out of sight going down the mountain, to my great delight McPherson Felder and my old friend, George Paul, appeared, whom I do not remember to have seen ot heard of (although belong ing to same company) siuce falling in the mud and kicking up such an unusual racket at Laurel Hill, and who now wears on his countenance -a half smile, because, of seeing me, and a half scowl of chagrin that the fates had fallen so heavily on him.

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, THE INCREASING IMMIGRATION. ! FILLING THE VACITOM.

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 pour through the mountain bn ei ther side of the pike like caterpil lars on a cotton patch. I 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 river. History with one dash of the pen would write the result, to- wit: “Garnett’s army crushed and captured on and in Cheat river by McClellan.” ( Every moment hangs in the ter rible balance ou both sides, and men rush like madmen to bring it down, the one against the other in his favor.

Day More: European Immigrants are j 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 the silence. All next day large 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 the icc-dam broke, aud the waters resumed their rush. A box of Ayer’s Pills have saved many a fit of sickness.

When it is remem bered that prophesies of - similar character have been made for full five centuries, and the world . still jogs along as usual, there m-od tip no eause for uneasiness; Mr. B. E. Brown/Manager Ekc- efriend Paul in my crotine for headache with- most, gratifying results on several ocea- 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. - Tills reform is a great one, and a radical one. It will change many conditions) but" it is coming and will be carried to a successful end witliin a few brief years. Those who have evaded their " duties as citizens, and who have lived upon the bloodof the many“'will find,it out in time. 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 land will-bo worth the seed’and the cost of putting in, and you will have the hay crop simply for the cutting and hauling to the barn, and your mules will work just as well-on this provender, and keep in as good’ condition, as if fed on oats, or on corn and fodder. In another article I will give my. method of curing peavines, which is simple, and has answered very well for me. C. M. Sanders. Penfield, Ga. Infancy to Old Ags.

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.
