Th Fcxmai, op Mas. Rosi GaiKNUOw-The death, by drowning, of Mrs. Bose Oreenhow, near Wilmington. North Carolina, last week, has been already noticed- She leaves one child, an interesting little daughter, who is ia a coa vent school at Paris, where her mother left her upon her return to this country.

The New York Ilercld, rep'ying to an article in tbe Tribune, wherein it was charged that the numbers of tbe Yankee army on paper were deceptive, says that tbe repo-1 cf the War Department, made in December, 1861, gives as the result of the several calls made for men, during that year, C40.C37 vclunteeis for three years, and 20,334 for the regular array. From that time to the present, the total number called for has been 2,400,000, all for three years, except the 300,000 nine months men, called for in August, 18G2, and the call for one year's men, made in July last. Exclusive of ail calls for less than cine months, the Dumber called out for army and navy up to this time, is 3,109,962 ! The number of those who cculd, by any possibility, have been counted twice in this aggregate up to the first of kft August, was 42,034 under the first call for three years men. and 300,000 nine months men calied out in August, 1862. 1 browing these men entirely out of the question, there still remain 2,811,935 men, who could not possibly have been counted twica, and who actually have served. It makes the braiu reel to !ok at such a list of human beingr, ail in the eervice of a eingie despot, banded together lor the purpose of des troying the liberties of a brave and mttllier'nt people I he hghting men ot tne army ana navy 01 A.erxes num bered but 2,700,000, according to Herodotus, whose estimate is considered excessive. Julius Caj-ar was said to have fought forty pitched battles, taken eighty towns by storm, defeated thice millions of men, made a million of prisoners, and slain as many fairly on the fiald. But he was engaged eleven years in making this horrible carnage, and hia enemies were barbarians brave, but undieciplined. It was reserve! for the Con federate States to have, within the space of three years and a half, more men launched against them than Xer xes brought to the conquest cf Greece, than Cajsar slaughterer! in the forests and marshes of Gaul, Gerna ny, Batavia and Britain, and these, too, civiiizd men. Assuredly, cur cause is without a parallel in the history of the whole world. The overthrow of the Union has afforded matter for an immense triumph to the ab3olutis's of Europe, and of despondency to soma friends of free institutions in this country, lney think it proves that man is not ca pable of governing himself. It does prove, indeed, that the Yankees are incapable ot self-government, far it was they that destroyed the Union, by converting it into an engine of oppression. But it proves no each thing witb regard to the Confederate", for it was through their exertions that it was Kept togetner so long as it was, and when they left it, they did not ur render their liberty. The Yankees, oa the contrary, have given up theirs, aa a thing not worth the trounlj ol keeping. They resigned it for the same rea on t:.at Esau gave up his birthright ; that is, they parted with it for b consideration, in exchange for tbe prospective plunder and confiscation cf Southern estates. A pco-- pie 13 very apt, unless too weak to support thesr claims, to have just as much liberty as they are entitled to, and that is what the Yankees hava under the Lincoln y nasty. They sffo: d no proof of the truth of tne proposi tion above enunciated, because they did not appreciate free institutions and lost them. But the Confederates know how to estimate them at their full value, and they have not lost them. That they do not place an undue value upon them, we think is eufSeknily proved by the statement which we have condensed in the above .par agraph from the New York Herald. It is fair to judge ct constitu'iOEis by the character cf t? e pj.-ple ra'.ned under them.

GUruilnatloa of Seeds The gardener should always bear ia mind, that it would be a very erroneous conciusion because a seed dOv8 not germinate at the accustomed time that there fore its veeetative powers tre aepariea. x 0 two seed taken from the same seed vessel germinate precisely at the same time. but. oa the contrary, one wi 1 otteu do so promptly, while its companion seed will remain aor- instance where freeh tobacco seedlings continued to up peat annually for two years on the Bame plot, thou rL no seed was sown alter the urst sowing ; ana me srm phenomenon usually occurs for two or three years wnui the seeds of either the Pacony or Hawthorne are sown Southern r ma ana ft tesuie The editor of the Kinderhook Rough Notes says : Our butter and mnk, since we reduced the thing to system, only costs us 24 cents a week I We uss a pint nf milk a dav. for which we pay four cents.

Unless prices rule lower in this section,- we suggest tho process stated hft triWL A ladv in Baltimore writes tnat Lieut. Jlaan. of the i2i IS". O. Regiment, ia at Fort Dslaware, w-eU. Fattening fiwin, Farmers begin to fatten swine tco late. Some do not commence till the first of autuma and others even later ; the consequence is the animal scarcely gets un der way when the time comrs 'or slaughtering him- Our best managers inake it a ru'e to keep the animal growing without intermission from the first period of its existence until ready for the pork-tub. I f keot over i rnn-bnrit winter, they are fed and kept comfortable throu?hout, acd the regular fattening process is commenced early in spring. A bushel cf coin given thus early ia the sea son to a vigorous growing animal is worth much more than if fed in cold weather or io winter. One reeson that farmers fiad it unprofitable to fatten pork, is that a large part of the process has to be performed when the weather has become eo colJ that much of the feed is required merely fcr sustaining animal warmth. The best pork raider we knew cf has in one instance crown a pig eight months old so as to weigh about fcrJr hundred pounds ; and in another four hundred and fifty pounds in ten months. He has the corn ground to let at half its value. Farmers who have not begun to fatten their swine reg nlarly, as they should have done months ago, should cooi mence immediately. B7 attending to the particulars just mentioned, liny wiil fiid the bricess far more profitable thau the too freqaent practice. cf feeding in the ear, giving the feed irregularly both aa to time end qiar.tity, end paying no attention 'o cleanliness and corrfort. Tha skillful farm r whose practice we have already described, flod3 that the mixture of meal and hot wtttfr nukis twice as much pork as corn fed on the coi, according to careful weighing and measuring. He prepares it by pouring into a covered tub, four pails of boding water to each helping pail of dry meal. After standing a day or more, it all becomes neSrly a salid mass, and makrs ixcellent food. Tae animals are kepi perfectly cUno, dry and comfortable, (no: in a c!( se pea, but in a pmall yrd ) a-e led with great regulari ty, and u- ver qaue as much as they wili eat, surfeit being cirelu'dy avoiaed. He fioda that pork thua manufac turtd costs him only five cents a pound when corn is o dollar per bushel. ' Wcou Tee history of the growth of wool is very curious. Fifty yjars ago not a pound of fine wool was ra'.ced in the United States, in Great Britain, or any other country except Spain. In the latter the flocks were owntd exclusively by the nobility of th3 crown 1q 17G4 a small flack was sent to the Elector of Saxo ny, aa a present from the King of Spain-- whenc-i the entire product of Saxony wool, cow of each imjnense value. Before the breakiog out orthe last war be tween this country and Great Britain, Colonel Humph reys succeeded in getting a few nicrino sheep brought out of Spain, then their exportation was prohibited under penalty of being sent 10 the galleys for life. In 180D, during the second invasion of Spuin by the Frincbome of the valuable crown flacks were soid to raise money. Oar Consul at Lisbon, ilr. Jarvis, pur chased fourteen hundred head, and sent them to this country. Pieviously, however, Mr. Livingston obtained a fjw theep of the Spa-i-aa. breed, aa a present, in 1792. A portion of the pure uamixe-d merino blood of th'ine flacks, ia to be fouod in Vermont at this time. Such was the origin of the imur.nse fl)c! of tine wooled bheep in the United Scales and Great Britain. Field $ Firetide. Frcm tho Augusta Chronicle & entinl. Wilmington, N.

Such a course is big hiy commendable, and ia simply what might b expected from a community which has always been no ted for its liberality and hospitality. I think, however, that ail the burthens of providing for the wants cf the sick and wounded in Augusta, should not ha placid upou the shoulders of your pa-fri-Aic citizens, even if they were ever so ready itd willing to bear them.

They cfler advantages to France and largely indemnify her for tbe exchange she has made of the prt cf the terri tory cooquered by ber in Lower Cochin China. Toe principal clause of these arrangements are tbe protectorate of France ber the six provinces of Lower Cochin China ; the opening of three important ports on tbe cocst oi Annam, with tha concession of nearly six miles of ground round each of tbe ports for estab lishing factories ; liberty for Fiench merchants to cir culate and do business throughout the whole kingdom of Annam, entire freedom for French missionaries to teach the Christian religion ; the' establishment of con sul3at Hue, and in ports to trade : and lastly, the pay ment ofan indemnity of one hundred millions of franca.

The gloom of the enemy, occasioned by their pro, traded, exhausticg and futile efforts to conquer us,' sometimes leads them to an honest perception of the truth ss to their prospects. Tbe following is from a late speech of Gov. Seymour, of New York : Now, you know ,J.hat that monstrous army that we gave them nine montha ago baa been eo nearly annihilated that another' call for five hundred thousand men is 'made upon us, and we are not in as good a condition aa we were then. That part, of Louisiana and of Arkansas wes, of the Mississippi river that was wrested from them has re sumed the offensive, and invaded Missouri itself. Tha great army of Sherman that attacked and captured At lantp, has its rear communications attacked acd en dangered by large bodies of rebels. Go into Virginia, and what do you find there ? Instead of tbe army of Lee reduced down to a skeleton, aa it was a year ago, it has eus'tained itself thus far with full force and great power, and it is strong in numbers to day. Now, I believe that, notwithstanding your political views and political prejudices, you will admit that our armies have done their work.

Ob the wings of death come a poiienous dirt, That woo to thee, dark grave, a sacred trust. ItBtilled the tkrobbings of a noble heart; It still od the throbbing of a noble heart. And laid low that form, a lump of sleeping dust. Buried forever in the deep and solemn gloom, Of burrow's night, are hopes that were cheruhed, Bnried low, in the dark and silent tomb. Palo and ccld, is a loved form that perished. The wind from Mar, land, brother, bears sorrow on breath. It tells, that thou art sleeping, the lorg sleep of death. its Pare as the rays of the moon's pale light, Pure as the dew drops of early morn, Pare as the tnow drift soft and wMte, Was the bean that animated that sleeping form. Angels rnethinks, their beauteous forms did bow, Around our loved ane, in that far off land, Kissed the death dews from his pale cold brow, And bare him geutly to their own bright land. Bore thee from as brother, and thou art happy now ' In Heaven a crown of glory, decks thy loved and manly brow. Bid as not weep, O l very near and dear, Was the spirit, that passed from Maryland's shore, Was thi voice, that hush-id, its gentle whisperings there And fl?d to cheer our bleedkg hearts no more. Weep stilly night, above his lonely bed; Watch, gentle stars, for he is pare and bleat. Rest moonbeams there, where lies the youthful dead, And shed your brishtneas o'er bis lonely rest. Ye Autumn winds that mournfully weep, Breathe soft, low cadence, o'er his dreamless sleep. Often brother, on thy youthful brow, Would a shade ef eare, with its calmness rest, But thou art happy, and nothing now Disturbs the quiet of thy peaceful breast. In a loathsome prison, ia a lonely cell confined ; Long they kepi thee, till reason almost fled, Bat thuu art gone, they could no longer bind That sinless soul that to Heaven fled. Thou art gone forever, by death was riven That tender tie, to bind oar hearts to Heaven. Thy mother weeps, for thee her darling boy, And father dear, whose brow is lurrowed o'er, For thou art gone, hia dearest pride and joy, We weep dear, brother, for thon will come no more. We'll miaa thea brother, when that prisoner's band, To their glad homes, their joyous hearts hhall bear, A lonely grave, ia a distant stranger's land, They'll leave our loved one, sweetly sleeping there. Angels wid fold their starry wings around. And keep still thslr watcher, o'er taat lonely monad. WILMINGTON MARKET, OCTOBER 18, 1864. Bkbf CATTLE.

THE COMMISIONEltS of Appraisement for tha Bute of North Carolina fesl great satisfaction in presenting their Schedule of Prices for tbe next sixty day, in that the great abundance of most of our crops with the im proved condition of our financial, atd consequent increaaed security for onr currency, enable Uem, without injury to the producer, to lower the prices of the prime necessaries of lire to the soldier, and it is to be hoped, to the Indigent of onr country. This lowering of prices muit again aot in increasing the valne cf the national currency, by diminish ing the debt of the country. Tha want of confidence In the worth of the currency, increased as it fcaa been by the rapacious greed.'of individuals of ALL classes and especial ly of tbe Cotton Factories, and lately so strongly exhibit ed by the Bailrosd Companies, has greatly contributed to . this. Scarcity of food can no longer be alledged for high prices, as there is abundance ia the ' country, and it only remains to show whether onr people, in sustaining onr wise and patriotio Treasurer Mr. Treubolm in bis efforts hitherto bo successful, in putting our financial matters on a care footing, will sns'ain the) Uovemmont ot their choice.
