And we do not often have an ex cess of rain in June and July. Plant your corn the second and third weeks of May. In this way you will find that it will grow ao fast that you will not be able to work it more than three times ; and it makes a bet ter crop with two workings than, with four when planted at the usual time and in the usual war. ; ' W.

The larger part should be for winter use, with a few fur summer and fall. Ap plet), the Baldwin and Roibury Russet are always good, while the Bartlett pear and Crawford peach, seldom fail to suit all. ; Many like the plan of setting apple trees about thirty feet apart each way, with peach trees between. The peach is of rapid growth, and soon 'shelters the young apple, while its early decay gives room for the spreading branches of its neighbor. Great care should be taken in setting the tree, that every root is in its natural position, and is, surrounded by finely pulverized rich earth. A large hole ahould be dug, and when the roots are properly placed, the earth should be pressed firmly . against them. Trees sliould be planted only to the depth they stood before their removal. With care in selecting and planting, and attention, and skill in after culture, one may expect to reap an ample rewatd for his labors. GEN. JOHNSTON.

Kentucky, w involved not only military but political con siderations. At the lime of my arrival at Nashville, the action of the Legislature of Kentucky had put an end to the latter by sanctioning the formation of companies me nacing Tennessee, bv assuming the cause of the government at U'ashinuton, and by a bandoning the neutrality it professed, and in consequence of their action the occupation of Bowling Green became necessary as ao act f self-defence, at least in the first step. - About ihe middle of September General Bdckner advanced with a small force w bout 4,000 men, which was increased by the 15th October U 12,000. aod though acce. sions ol force were received, it cominueii ai about the .am. strength until the end of vember, measles and Ur diseaaes keeping dewn the effective force. The enemy, force f at.alli0a mttat I f si raff Ha fII r in a ruier fn ir POrt t0 lhs Wr Department 50 000, and an advance impoasible. , Behev.ng it to be of the greater moment to protract the campaign as thfe dearth of cotton might brmg strength from .broad and dtucourage the North, and to gain time to strengthen myself by new trop rtotn Ten nessee and other States, I magnified my for ces to thu enemy, but made known my true strength to the department and ihe Governors of States. The aid given was small. At length, when General Beauregard came out in February, he expressed his surprise at the smallness of my force, and was impressed with the danger of my position. I admitted what was so manifest, and laid before him u; j views for the future, in which he entirely concurred, and sent me a memorandum of our conference, a copy of which I send to you. I determined to fight fur Nashville-at DoneNon, and gave the best part of my army t do it, retaining onljr fourteen thousand men to cover my front, and giving sixteen thousand to defend Donelson. ,! The force at Donelson is stated in General Pillow's report at much less, and I do not doubt the correctness of his statement, for the force at Bowling Green, which Isuppos ed to be fourteen thousand effective men, fihe medical report showinz onlv a little oyer five hundred sick in the hospital,) was diminished more than five thousand by thoe who were unable to stand the fatigue f a march, and made my force on reaching Nash ville less than ten thousand men. I enclose the Medical Director's report. ' Had I wholly uncovered my front to de fend Donelson, Buell would have known it, and marched directly on Nashville. There were only ten small steamers in the1 Cum berland in imperfect condition only three of which were available at Nashville, while the transportation of the eneny was great. The evacuation of Bowling tireen was im peratively necessary, and was ordered before, and executed while the battle was being fought at Donelson. I had made every dis position for the defence of the fort my means allowed ; and the troops were among the best ot my force. The Generals Flovd, Pillow and Buckner were high in the opinion of officers and men for skill and courage, and among the best othcers of my .command. a" had seen much service. .No leTaTOTcv- ments were akd. I awaited the event op posite Nashville. The result of the conflict each day was favorable. At midnight on the 15th 1 received news of a glorious victory at dawn of a defeat. My column during the day and night was thrown over the river (a batiery had been established below the city to secure the pas saee.V Nahviile was incapable of defence j from its positionaj)d from the forces ad- t ' - - 1 T? . .. 1 1 t1mmm -n.t ,1. tflA -T" a , e 7ii a iVft u n der ' General Flovd to secure the stores and pro ' t . - . .t f j"1" " ' Visions, DUl UIH IIUI tuuijficiciy cucvi i"- seopie were ierruieo,anu siune of the troops were disheartened. 1 lie dis couragement was spreading, and I ordered the command to Murfreesborough, where I managed, by assembling Crittenden's division and the fugitives from DoneUon, to collect an army able to offer battle.
