Whereat a rumor liavine rot abroad that HERD'S GRASS.(rMi Vulgar.) Dr. Hull, of Athena, haa preaented ua with a beautiful apeeimen of thia ealuablo craaat and aa it hat received leaa attention in our cnlumna than it deeema, we shall make a- menda for the neglect.

On low twamp landt.herd't grass girea a better return in either pasture er meadow than anj other. Dr. Hull haa a meadow of it on a branch bottom, that ia a little ton wet to raise corn, from a pari ol which be cuts something like three tons of excellent ha to tha acre. Ine root of this grass it perennial and creep ing and ia soils adapted to it, it ia long- lived, tnd yields sDundantiy. it Heart ma ny seeds in m panicle, which ie generally colored and gives to tht plant the root moo name of " red-toe It makes liner and bet ter hay for neat stock thaa timothy, although t mixture of the two is generally preterred bv tht cattle rsitere and dairymen of New otk. We found herd'a grass seed tellinj in upper Georgia at a dollar a bushel. Al should bavt seed who ren, as a patriotic do ty. Any one having land adapted to thia grass will find a meadow ot it pay him bet ter than any other crop. A awtmp of one thousand acret, that now produce! little be tides frnrs tnd alieatnra. would tura out an annual cutting of two thousand tuns, worth. at a dIUr per one hundred poumlt, forty thousand dolltrt. Who amonr all our read ert will make such a meadow? Who haa the twamp for the purpose ! We have teen Bay swamps ia Florida (hat would probably make capital herd's grass mesdnws, and we trust that our hinta on this theme will not be wholly bairca of aeeful results. s.r.m4r.

I wished to dig a cellar under my barn, and concluded to try an experiment with the earth which wat taken out. I meas ured off one acre of the field abuve mention ed, tnd drew the earth from the cellar a pun it, covering tht piece to the depth of two or t'iree inchee when it wat eenty spre.a This wst turned over the same autamn, to the depth ot ail inches. The next tprtng it wat harrowed therouehiy.and one-mil plant ed in p-natoes aad the other town ia oats. The result was one hundred and Iwrnty-five bushels of potalnea, of at fine quality as I ev er raited, and thirty bushels of oata. I again plowed it in Hit autumn, going two incnea deeper than the previous plowing. In the spring I thoroughly mixed and pulverized the toil, tnd sowed to wheal, and seeded to clover and timothy grass. I had a stout growth of atraw, but owing to the weevils, the yield wat but fifteen buthele of wheat. I hae since cut two ions ol hay to tht ace lor two years. I think the f ar cmpa have well paid me forthe trouble of trying the ex periment, tnd the result has been, thus far, quite as good aa though I had applied thirty liittls of msnute I the laud. The mil wat clayey ; the earth applied waa t yelluw loam.

Ia common with a large number of the best and wisest of the citizens of the South ern Stairs in common, too, with a majori ty of the people of the border slave States, I clung with fond tenacity to the Union, un der which our people had enjoyed so much safety and prosperity, and dreaded the cer tain calamities and uncertain benefit! of breaking up the present and making trial of anoiuer uovernment. toe question, too, it obliged to come home to the conscience of every christian for solemn and ultimate de cision. How am I, in the present case, to obev the authoritative injunction of Godt Let every aoul bt tubjret to tht higher powert, for there is no power but ot itod ; the powert that bo trt ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resistetb the power, resisteth the ordinance of God, and they thai resist shall receive to themaelvet damnation." In times ol civil convulsion, it is often one of the most embarrassing easet of casuistry that eta occur to a conscientious man to de termine who are " the powers that be' whom 1 am bound to obey t In governments like ours, where Ihe legitimate authority it in the arirt tut majority, the plain, aimpie-mtnded christian, who ia little qualified to investigate or decide upon the nice questions of puliti ral rights and constitutional claims, it reiiev- . i . : I : CU iron a ia CBJuarrasiiaciu sua luuctisiuri, tt toon as theoverwhelming voice of the east political sovereignties iroand him have upset the old government and eitabliined a new one.

But the die being cast the Rubicon once croased a large fragment of the dissolved empire containing himself and all his interests, having been irrecoverably burst off. br an explosion in which he had no agency, why then, it would seem, the Christian may. with a aafe conscience, swear allegiance to the new Power, and, if need be, .B .-.eat f . t t take oo arms in ita drience. sucn anouia suppose, have been the mural struggles and the moral decisions of thousands of christians in the present controversy. Leading states-' men and those who are accustomed to discuss political questions, have shaped their course, no doubt, more by considerations of Stales rights and State poliey. Even on thert grounds I need no better authority than that of A. H. Stephens, the vice-president of the Confederate Stales. Ilia speech befure the Legislature of Georgia, only a month before the secession of South Carolina, it my creed. I want no better exposition of my feeling and political opinions than is found in that memorable document. But the atorm of N 'rthern invasion which has driven Aim from ed hit on the Sou vast Reoublic. has landed thousand of the loters of Union. Aow, there ran be but one party. Reunion being evi dently imputable, the best atgument to con vince those wh-i would coerce it, of the folly and madness of their interprise, is an anbro kefa unanimity and determined resistance.

The Bibles and Testaments have al to come.

When I began t" dis tribute the aoldiera flacked around to g-tone apiece and aome even came out to buy them, men too who make no prolestin ol religion. As soon as our pay day comes, I hope to make a goud collection in behalf ol the N. C. Tract Agency. 1 should like to obtain a lot of small Bibles and Testament. Where can they be had ? Many l our men are without them. May the Lord abundant ly bless your labors to extend His Kinil uu." I hope that each one who reads the aunve will feel it not only a duty but a privilege to give a donation to help print gospel truth for the eternal good of our noble ilelendert. Every dollar enables u to print here 1,500 pages, approved by all our ptttors ; and we art now prepared to print over 30,000 trade in a day, but we must have funds with which to do this.

I hae sgain to congratulate yen oa the ac cession ol aew members to our Confedera tion et free, equal, and sovereign States. Oar' ever loved and honored brethren of North Carolina and Tennessee have consunr mated action foreseen and provided for at your last session, and I haee had the gratifi cation of annnaacing by proclamation, in conformity with the law, that these Slate! were admitted into the Confederacy. The people of Virginia, aUa, by a majority previootly unknown in her hi ttory, have rat ified the action of her Convention, and unit ed h-r fortuues with ours. The States of Arkansas, North Carolina and Virginia hate like wine adopted the per lament Constitution of the Confederate Staves., and no doubt is entertained of its a- , dop'iwi by Tennessee at the election to bt held early next month. I deemed it advisable to direct the remo- , al ol the aeveral Execfftiva Departments, with their archives, to this city, to which you had removed the teat of Government. Immediately alter your adjournment, the aggrreeive movement of the enemy required prompt and rnergetic action. Ihe accuma l.tUrii t( his forces on the Potomac sufficient ly demonstrated that his efforts were to be di rected agaiast Virginia, tnd from no point could the neceesary meatures for her defence ami protection be to efficiently directed at from her own capitot. The rapid progrest of events lor the last few weeks has fully suf ficed to atrip the veil from behind which the true policy and purposea ol the Government of the United States had beeu previously con cealed; their odioua features now stand ful ly revealed. The message of their Presi dent, and Hie action ot their Congress during the present month, confess the intention of ju'ij'j tiing these States by a war, whose fol ly ia equalled only by us wickedness a war y which it is impossible to obtain the pro posed result; whilst its dire calamities, not to be avoided by us, will fall with double severity on themselves.
