We had won a victory, and the bulk of the federjit army was ..making for the Potomac ; but there was a rear guard which fought sullenly and with a thirst for vengeance, and along the front of my division the blue coats were alert and ready for an attack.' . It was about nine o'clock in the evening when my company was pushed out, and to get the place assigned on we had to crawl on oar hands and knees for the last 200 feet. -. Wbn I finally got settled in place it was at the base of a hade or fruit tree standing alone in an open field. A ball or shell had atruek the trunk of the tree nd eut it in two, and a portion of the top lay on the giound. The federal pieket, as I presently ascertained, was about fifty steps distant from me, and had j the cover of a heap of rails. I did i not locate him until he fired upon . me. J do not think he knew of ray presence, but rather mistrusted it and biased away to draw me out. There were dead and wounded ail about the tree, h I had erept over two dead bodies, and two woanded men bad begged me for water, and, although the evening was yery dusky, I could count at least ten bodies on my aide of, the tree" I had ; come ' out with a full canteen, knowing that the front was covered with wounded. Close to me, on my right side, was a federal corporal, belonging to a Now York regiment. He told me at the time the number of his regiment, bat I niado no note of it. He was shot in the right leg, raid way between the hip and the knee. A This happened two hours before dark, and considerable nearer our lines, and he managed to crawl twenty rods to get to the shade of the tree. It was only a flesh wound, and co'ild he have been taken into the lines that night, he would have been fit for duty in thirty days. Some men would have walked off with suchatmrt asthatf bptihepoor fellow seemed knocked all to pieces and had quite lost hi eoarage. I was hold&g jthe canteen to bis lips having raised hi head . and put a haversack under it, when the federal picket fired the shot. The bullet crashed m to the head of the wounded man, and with a sort of quiver lie fell back dead. . The ineident upset tne, onideraDiy, and, being under order not to fire a shot unless the enemy Were advaneiug, I hugged the ground at the foot of the tree aud remained 'qtuet. s Two more shots were fired at me. but .the? ; were aimed too high, and went over. I hsd been on duty about an hour, when the pleadings of a wounded man about fifty feet to toy left fbr-p water determined me to succor him. He knew of my presence and talked directly to me, saying that be was . shot in both legs, and bad been lying there seven or Uieht hours. .1 left my gun on the and knees. The corpse of a Federal lay directly in my way, and I was .just makihg a half-circle around it, when the supposed dead man scrambled up, seized his musket, whieh lay beside him, and whirled on me with a sort of scream. , You 1 see, it all came so suddenly that I was confused, and when he came at me I was still on my hands and knees and helpless. He held the gun At "charge bayonets. and made an awful lunge at metUThe point of the bayonet passed through the back of my blouse." and the lunge pushed 4ne otm and the steel went into hk ground almost to" the muzzle of the gun. I was thus pinned to the earth, and the man let go of the musket and fell across me, uttering eroan of pain " as "he came rflownv- f Mv Dosition was such that I ewld not 1 free ' myself for two or .. three minute?, and when-1 did,' the man was .a 1 dead for sure. . He had, probably, been unconscious for a long time before the frenzy of death caused him to attack inn in tho sinerular manner he did. - Se rlrmly was I pinned to the earth that had toskin'f : out of mf blousfr to get foee, andit took .a stout- twist at the butt of thaimnsket topnU thabaybnet at of the hard-baked soil.

They are all to be avoided, if possible, and in relation to them the parent should guard the children : from ex posure. Maintain in them that degree of vigorous health which both lessens the liability to take the disease and more readily triumphs over it if taken ; and keep the house, " from - eellar to garret, and all its surroundings, as tree as possible from all noxious miasms, mainly by absolute cleanli ness, by free circulation of air, by unobstructed sunshine, and "by a copious use of good disinfectants. - Though whooping eough is seldom fatal, it is best to call in a physician, for he ean lessen 1 the severity ' of the paroxysms, shorten the term of" the disease, and prevent its running off into a protracted and exhausting cough, as it ton of ten does. Measles are apt to be treated as a trifling affair, and, indeed, many parents purposely expose their children to the disease j but, owing to careless ness in treating it, more die of it than die of diphtheria or scarlet fever; "Be sides, it often learss permanent harm behind. Though the disease is gen erally lighter iu childh'Hxl, yet . the susceptibility to it is much diminished in adult life. Measles begin as a cold, with a run ning at the eyes aud nose, and the raab is iu dark red spots, first seen on the facte and forehead. Scarlet fever commences with a sore throat, and the rash appears as a gen eral redne of the skin, and .shows itself about the neck and chest - Diphtheria , begin with walked weakness, and the inflammation at the back part of the mouth soon has a pe culiar smell, a of ivrril meat. In no ease should either . of these diseases be trusted to home treatment. While the physician looks after the eure of the patient, the friends should actively co-operate in preventing the spread of the diseases, not only : in the whole matter of' disinfectiou. but in completely isolating the child until the possibility of eommunicating he in fection is over. Some forms of ophthalmia (in- fiamatiou of the eye) are very oouta gious, nd may be communicated from child to child at school. Teaohers should be on the lookout iu this mat ter, It is mostly prevalent among the poor. ; , - , ' . .. It would be well if, at our public schools, during a period of infectious disease, the girls were cautioned against the habit of putting on each other's hoods and hats, and of frequent hugging and kissing. . Infectious dis eases are often thus propagated,' 1 r Companion m ANyaealeal Dellveranee of 1779. On Thursday. June 29, 1775, the Synod of New Nork and Philadelphia issued a pastoral letter to be read in the ehurches under its care- .This let ter begins with entreating all ranks of people to acknowledge their sins and turn from the error of their ways t and, "As the whole continent, with hardly any exception, seems deter mined to defend their rights by force of arms, it becomes the peculiar duty of those who profess a willingness to hazard their lives in the cause of liberty to be prepared for death, which to many must be a certainty, and to every one is a possible or , probable event It is well known to you (other wise it would be imprudent thus pub licly to profess) that we have not been instrumental in inflaming the minds of the people, or urging them to acts of violence and disorder. "Perhaps no instance ean be given on so interesting a subject, in which political seutiments have been so long and so fully kept from the, pulpit, aud even malice itself has ' not , charged us with Hboring for the press ; but things are now eome to such a height that we do not wish to conceal our opinions as men. . Suffer-us, therefore, to exhort you by assuring you that there is, no army so formidable as those who are superior to the fear of death. . Let, therefore, every one who, from gener osity of spirit or benevolence of heart, offers himself as a champion in his country's cause, bo persuaded to rev erence the Lord of Hosts,' and walk iu the fear of the Prince of the kings of the earth, and thea be vmay, with the most irushaken firmness, expect the is ana in faath or victorv."

Many; articles have been written on the Subjeet, published in the asricult ural journals, ' and "discussed by ' the readers, and yet, today many" farmers are undecided as to which is the most successf all course for them to ptfrsuei In selecting a couse for myself I bore in mind the fact that manure-was of the most importance on the sore and root crops, from the fact that the roots of corn go deeper than those of other crops in my rotation. ' I therefore start out with cjorn the first year with all the manure, spread from the wag on, (not dumped in piles to leach out for a month or I more and thea.scat term ed) before plowing. Then after corn has been gathered I plow in the fall if 1 weather will permit, and sow in tho spring to oats. After this is off, I seed it to wheat and clover. After allowing if to remain in clover two years I put it in wheat a second time, allowing all the fall erop of clover to remain and be "turned in, and, after wheat this time. I return to corn as in tho start. . ,. .;. . By this system, as the manure is turned uader for oorn, its roots gener ally find a portion, and, when the piece is plowed for oat?, the rest of the ma nure comes' to the suface to beaefit the oats. After the wheat,' whieh f ollows oats, m; clover sowed witn or upon it is eut. the following spring and fall, but the second fall I plowed the second crop of clover to get as much as "can be turned under . ferthe , uext crop of wheat.' Some years it may , be bst to allow the seed to be taken from the clover, with success depending on suit able weather for, threshing; but upon the whole, in aperies of years, I be- ieve tho. additional quantity of wheat resulting from the green .crop plowed under will overbalance the clover seed crop. The potatoes being planted the same year with the: corn, and at the end of the corn rows, get the full bene fit ofjthe manure plowed. under.. Ihc lievc potatoes should be, planted deep.
