i 5E! -,, , !Tlie Farmer's Column. Written for the Times. How to Make Money these hard THIES WITHOUT MUCH LABOR OE KXPEXSE. (Continued from last week.) Messrs. Editors ; I beg leav e to lay iM'ftir.' your readers,in this issue of your paper, a short history of Grape Grow ing in the Eastern part of our State, from the pen of Dr. Sidney Weller, of Brinkleyville, Halifax Co., N. C. Some year ago, in writing to De Bow's Coin luereial Reekie, he says : North Carolina is ahead of all her sister States in the Wine product, by some thousands of gallons, according to the agricultural census of 1840 ; and, as far as 1 know, my Vineyard is the largest in this State, and, 1 suppose in the South, aud perhaps the most pro ductive ; sine1, besides entertaining hundreds of visitors, and disposing of quantities of Grapes earned away, I mudejast vintagejorty barrels of wine. My increase of product has been, an nually, for a few years past, about ten barrels. Of our native Scuppernong, the Grape lor the South, I make wines xi. .i i. nj j h it reauuv ormgme, ui uinerent mar kets, from $1.00 to $1.00 per gallon, according to quality. Encouraged by patronage, I have, for years past, cul tivated the choicest varieties, (selected from all parts of our country,) in the jMirsery to nc well rooted, aim ready tor market ; and more of the Scupper nong than any other variety, not only as the best Southern Grape, all things considered, but that it cannot be pro rogated successfully, by cuttings, but by layers, or grafting. I started with a pretty large number of Scuppernong and other native cuttings of the Scup pernong mostly. The cuttings of this Grape all put out in the Spring, but as usual with them, they all died in the Slimmer. It is best for the American Vintner to start his vineyard with well rooted vims, i eared in the Nursery, from cuttings, or from layers. Dr. Wetter is of the opinion ' that while American vineyards far exceed European in yield, yet they fall short in strength of the juice yielded, and therefore corresponding keeping ingre dients must be used." He is in the habit of adding a plenty of sugar, or brandy,or both, with these ingredients. I differ with Dri Weller as to the strength of American Grape Juice and can assure our people that the best of good pare wine can be made without the least portion of spirits being added. This is the kind of wine we want; we don't intend to make people drunk with the wine we make. The pure juice of the Grape unadulterated with Alcohol is the sort of wine St. Paul advised Timothy to take for his stomach's sake, and his other infirmaries; and I verily believe this is the kind Our Saviour made at the marriage in Cana of Gali lee ; and this is the kind of wine the Church should use at the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. We are much to blame as a people and as a Church for the use of the poisoned nostrums im- TV ten, I nn no l.-i- Iw. W I .w, 1 .. , 1 v """J ,r iuc OWCUUIillOrS OI New York city. The pure wiue that is sent to us from Europe is heavily (hugged before we get it. Then let us raise our own Grains and make our owu wine, or have it made by honest manufacturers among us. Your obedient servant, C. W. WESTBllOOK. From the Sentinel. CLOVER AND GRASSES. First, then, as to the "character of the soil. Red clover, like other grass es, grows best on good soil, but will flourish better on poor soil than jnost llllli r Viiriti.U Am- iml .......)..., - " . ...j, wii rwxi null; Jlimilll - is wheat well will produee clover, but it like every thing else in the veget able kingdom, does best in those soils which are peeaiiary adapted to its growth. I have found it to succeed better on strong upland clay soils than any other. Iaw marshy or Wet lands do not suit it. The proper time for sowing the seed in this climate is the latter part of February or the arly part of March though it wiH do very well any time in March, aud should invariable be sown with oats or some other protecting crop. Young clover, when it first emerges from the soil, is exceedingly tender and needs sjmetlrng to protect it a few months from the enWt of the summer's sun. Hit is designed for noving, it will require a bushel of seed for a boul eight acres ot ground, hut if j t ended for paaiu rage alone, a bushel will sow ten acres thick enough. The ground should be well prepared as thoroughly pulverized as possible and free from clods. The oats must first be sown and either plowed in with urmw itlmt-a itr lurmnnil ... na ... I Ie deemed best, so that the surface is left ooaipara lively smooth. The clo ver seed Should then be sown and brush ed in with a tolerably heavy brash, well selected for that purpose, and pre pared so that it wiH not drag the seed up into lumpa or bunches. The mode of sowing is somewhat various, but that which I have used for many years, and which I esteem the best, I obtained from an essay of the late Edmund Ruf fin, of Virginia, who was perhaps, un surpassed in the United States as a practical agriculturalist. It is as fol lows : Ha ve any number of small pad dles made that may be desired, accord ing to the number of sowers. They should be, sav eicht or nine inches long, beside the handle, and five or six inches wide, with a smoothe surface. Let each sower provide himself with a common cloth apron aud tie it on in the usual way ; then gathering up the front part of the apron in the left hand aud taking the paddle also in the same hand, ha vi lie lis much semi flannel Wl in the apron as may be necessary to sow a round, he is equipped for the op eration. The first step on proceeding to the field is to arrange a set of guide stakes, or otherwise slightly mark off the ground, so that each sower will sow a land about six feet in width. It is best to begin on a straight side of the field, (if there be a straight one to it,) or otherwise arrange so that the lines traversed by the sowers will be straight as possible, this will en sure greater imiformity aud evenness in the casting of the seed. Having made these preliminary arrangements, let the first sower or leader take his uosition three feet, from tha miti.i- edge of the grouudywith his apron gathered up and bis paddle in his left hand as above described, the latter being held nearly level, or with the front end slightly inclined downward the next sower will take position six feet from the first, and so on to any number that may lie required, the first sower acting as file leader, gov erns the movements of all the others. Then takiug up with the right hand as mnch seed as can conveniently be held between the thumb and two fing ers, and moving off like a platoon of soldiers, it is dashed at every other step, with considerable force, on the central part of the paddle, and from whence it is scattered in all directions. Care must be taken by the sowers td keep their respective distance, as on this will depend the regularity with which the seed is distributed. Any number of sowers may be employed, and a little experience with proper care will soon enable them to perform the work with great uniformity. When the crop of oats is cut and tw.v. ....... 1 ....tit;.. .1.1 V. ......... .1 Hiiiinuij uuiuiug oiiuuju uv jit l nil l ie I to run upon the ground until some time in the fall, when it may be pas tured by calves or other young cattle until frost appears. In the following Spring, say from the 1st to the loth, of Anril. or as soon as th eiavmr lw grown sufficiently to cover the ground pretty well, plaster of pans should be sown broadcast upon it at the rate of not less than 80 to a 100 lb. per acre more would be better, but I have found this quantity, if it be mixed with an equal quantity of leached ash es to answer very well. Combining the plaster with ashes makes it more easily and evenly sown, as it does not so much fly off. In sowing the plaster it is imjiortant to select a calm morn ing and if it be a little damp or the at mosphere heavy, all the better. Care should be taken to leave no strips or spots unsown. I may premise here that plaster of paris does not act equally as well on all soils, or rather upon clover growing in all varieties of soil, and in order to test its efficacy, it would be well to leave a strip thro' mc uciu Biiiiuui im application. Plaster of paris prepared for agricul tural puqioses can be obtained readily in Baltimore at $1.5 to' $18 per ton, from Messrs. E. Whitman & Sons, or any one of the Agricultural houses in that eifv. In regard to the proper time for cut ting clover, it depends on the use to be made of it. H it is designed for stal ing milk cows or horses or feeding to hogs, it may be cut as soon as the bloom appears, but if intended .Ivfcphay it should not be cut until about one half the heads are turned brown. When cut it should be left in the swath for half a day if the weather is elcar, and a longer time if not fair. As soon as the upper surface of the hay is cured, which will generally lie the case in the time above mentioned, it should be turned over carefully with forks, without spreading more than is unavoidable, when it should remain another half day. If the wea- uicr in? mvoraiue, it may men tie rat ed intpR, winrows and hauled to the barn dr other place prepared for se curing it. It does not answer well to stack it like most other kinds of hay as the want of compactness in its char- nofnli i.i..(r....t 1 i'. ' il jmcycjius in iruiu turning i ne ram. Should necessity require, however, it will do tolerable well if the stacks are built with the sides as straight as pos sible until within a few feet of the top, and then putting on a heavy top ping of straw. I may remark, in this connection, that clover nay is more easily damaged by rain in curing than most other kinds, bat if the weather be favorable it is rather more easily cured. I have said nothing about the vnhie of clover as a green manure, or as a means of improving the soil, as this com munication is already much longer than I had intended. Suffice it to say, how ever, that as a vegetable manure for plowing under, aud particularly as a preparation tor a wheat crop,I regard it as superior to anything else. It is best always to succeed clover with wheat, as there is at times a difficulty in get ting a good stand of corn after it,o wing to the increased quantity of worms pro duced, from some cause which I have been unable to discover.

COLE, Oik of the former Editor of f The Tina." Qm difficult, hoe prtrdariiu. ST WILL. L. SCOTT. CHAPTER VIII. At Snicker's Gap, Lieut Col. Gray, who hail been absent on a sick leave, re joined bis regiment and took command. This was a nleoHant relief to Maj. Cole. Both his superior regimental officers being absent, had made not only his dnties onerous, but his responsibilities very great. He ever proved himself, nevertlielcsK, equal to any emergency. Yet in Col. Gray lie bad unbounded confidence n a gallant officer and a man of intellect and genius. Not only so, but bis society in camp was exceed ingly fascinating and desirable ; for he was the very soul of wit and geniality as well as a ripe and ready scholar. Before, their life together had been everything which the warmest heart could have desired ; and, in his return, Maj. Cole anticipated not only relief from duties hard and unpleasant, but that intellectual and social entertain ment so needed to break the monotony of soldiering and campaigning. Strange life the life of a soldier ! All now hoped for rest, all needed it; still only a few days after CoL Gray's return, and while the Twenty -Second was on picket duty at Summit Point, fifteen miles above Winchester, orders were given to march. Scarce a soldier that did not heave a deep sigh bow -licit, none murmured. Twas now the last of surly November. On the 22nd of that month, Gen. A. P. Hill's Divi sion, to which the Twenty-Second be longed, marched for Fredericksburg, the point to which all eyes seemed to be turning in the full expectatiou of a desperate general engagement. They reached there on the 2nd of December, 1802, having marched one hundred and eighty miles In eleven successive days over sixteen miles each day, and having twice crossed the mountains. Though much toil-worn, they had suffi cient time between their arrival and the beginning of the battle to be com pletely refreshed. Among Maj. Cole's letters is this graphic description of the part he and some of his men acted in the dreadful engagement near that city: "General Bvrnhidk had once held Fredericksburg and must, therefore, have known the advantage of position possessed by General Lee. Should he advance under this knowledge, he would, as a good ami prudent common der, bring men and appliances to equal such advantage. Thus I reasoned with myself, and, hence, I inferred it would be an unusually destructive battle. " Gen. Lee did not try to prevent his crossing, only endeavored to worry him as much as possible. Thursday night, he crossed. Friday morning, at fi o'clock, Gen. A. P. Hlll's Division moved forward to take position. The frost waa nearly as white as snow; the ground, frozen hard; and the fog hang ing so heavy, one could scarcely see two hundred yards. As the enemy had a very large army, I knew it would take fully twejity-four hours, constant cross ing on three bridges, the number we supposed he had, to get all the troops over ; and, therefore, I did not much expect an engagement during that day. About 10 o'clock, the thick vapor dis appearing, the enemy, with " Unnumbered hosts, that threaten nigh, Pennon and standard flaunting high, And flag displayed," was discovered in line of battle only a few hundred yards from our line. As the display seemed to be rather sadden and to reveal an unexpected sight on both sides, I thought there was a slight sensation, a stir, a flutter. It lasted but for a few moments, however, and each party proceeded to plant his bat teries and arrange the supports and lines of battty apparently as coolly as you would arrange a flower-garden, marking the walks and planting the shrubbery. "In the afternoon, Gen. Pender sent for me, and, on reporting, he said there were some houses and straw stacks in front, which would obstruct the free play of our batteries, and he wanted me to examine the. ground suffi ciently before night to take a party from my regiment and burn them. I went forward to examine them, and though I did not hardly expect to be able to i each the houses before dark, yet as I was surveying the ground of ap proach, noting the ravines, the ditches, the fences, &c, which would lie favor able or unfavorable to the party for ap proach or defence, I found myself at the first house, then another, and another, until I had closely examined some eight or ten, what points would most easily ignite, Ac. Lastly, I examined and counted about fifteen stacks of straw in an open field immediately in front and in view of the enemy's line, only about three hundred yards distant I watched the sentinels elosely as they did me ; but seeing no motions to shoot, I continued to draw nearer and nearer until my inspection was completed and plans matured. I went back to the regiment ; selected my men, one hun dred and twenty ; supplied some with matches and others with muskets; and at the first darkness, which is the deep est of the night, I proceeded to make the approach. Every man had his house or stack assigned him ; and hav ing neared the objects until each was in place and ready, I snapped a pistol cap the signal and, instantaneously, twenty or thirty streams of brilliant flame leaped up, lighting the heavens with almost the brightness of the noon day sun. It was the prettiest sight, in the way of fires, which I ever saw. One was an immensely large bam, full of tobacco hanging upon the sticks and lerfectly dry. You may possibly im agine such a blaze as this would make. No doubt, the Yankees were astonished and confounded, and wondered what next; nor did they, such was there confused ness, fire upon us as was some what expected by the burning party. Thus our adventure was perfectly suc cessful ; and, much elated, we returned to the regiment and slept soundly un til morning. " As I remarked in the beginning of this letter, there was a more determin ed and defiant preparation for battle, than I had ever before witnessed, Heretofore, I had been accustomed to fighting whenever the enemy forced us there being no- delay, no waiting. But here, within rifle-shot, our lines had stood all day, each actively engag ed in preparation for the contest That there would be a fight, no one could doubt We could not retreat; and the enemy would not have crossed the river, had he not intended to fight. Therefore, the Jight teas certain, and the prepara tions such as to anticipate the most desperate and decisive battle of the war. With such feelings, I laid down to sleep on Friday night, and with such I arose Saturday morning two hours before day. Through many hard-fought battles, I had passed unharmed ; but why should I escape when so many, so much better, were killed, or wounded t It was all in the hands of Providence. To the goodness of God I had yielded my keeping heretofore to the mercy of the same Being I trusted again. But whether I should survive a contest, ap parently destined to be the most des perate and destructive, of course, I could not tell. I felt satisfied thousands would not, and I could not help weeping. These and similar thoughts were cours ing through my mind alter I arose, and while I was making my bivouac-toilet " Our line of battle was iu the edge of a piece of pines, which skirted an oak -forest lying in our rear. Bob, Jim aud myself were sitting around a small fire some distance from any others, dis cussing the probable results of the ex pected battle, how each of us would fare, what would be the emotions of the loved at home if they knew our situa tion, when suddenly rapid discharges of musketry were heard. We rushed to arms, and, in a few moments, every man was ready. I- will not say evp-y man burned for the contest You see such language in print, but after being under fire more than twenty times, I deny its truthfulness. Soldiers do not " burn " for battle, nor do you ever hear one use such language, unless he be one who always -mm just, as the battle joins. The fighting, at this time, proved to be only skirmish ing. " I must refer you to the newspaper accounts and the reports of the General-in-Chief and his subordinate offi cers for a full and lengthy description of this battle, for one engaged can nev er know much more than falls under h is immediate observation. Pender's brigade was A. P. Hill's extreme left, supported by Thomas, of Georgia Next, Lanes brigade; then, Arohee'S Tenn., supported by Gregg, of South Carolina. And Field's Virginia bri gade, supported by Ewell's Division, was Hill's extreme right. Hill had but six brigades in his Division. The battle commenced on the right of our line I mean the regular advance of the enemy's line and the musketry en gagement Our brigade was the first felt of by the artillery. The diapason of the cannonade was terrible and last ed for several hours. The fighting came gradually down our right line un til it was driven back upon the sup ports. The enemy did not advance Upon our brigade. He made an effort, but was promptly repulsed by the ar tillery. The woods, that skirted the bottom, marked our line and formed one side of an ellipse. The enemy formed the diameter. As we were about the centre, we were farthest from his guns, and, hence too, he had a longer distance to advance in our front upon the open plain three-quarters of a mile. We had skirmishers, however, advanced half a mile, and these were engaged, ever and anon, the entire day, and, several times, drove in the sharp shooters. Abont 3 o'clock, our line of skirmishers had expended nearly all their ammunition and was becoming considerably confused; and when Lane's brigade was driven back on their right, they fell back by compul sion. This enabled the enemy to ad vance his line of sharpshooters to the brow of a small hill opposite tlie one on which was placed our artillery and dis tant about eight hundred yards. Gain ing this position the sharpshooters an noyed our artillerists so much they could not handle their guns. Up to this time, I had been under so very severe a cannonade, that I did not con sider myself worsted a great deal in position, when I was called upon to take one hundred men, join our skir mishers and repel the sharpshooters. Five hundred yards in front of our bat teries and three hundred in front of the sharpshooters, was the Railroad with a small cut a good place for protection to ourselves and destruction to the enemy. I deployed my one hundred men and made for that cut at a double quick. Beaching there I rallied our confused and dispirited brigade skir mishers, and with them and my fr1 men was making a manly, bold, but wavering defence of our position. Mean time, Pender, seeing the terribleness of the struggle and the inadequacy of my force to successful resistance, or dered one of his staff to dash to the Twenty-Second and hurry two more companies to my assistance. Shells were raining in torrents around and over the old regiment, every man of which was flat on the ground; but the Adjutant, at once repairing to the com panies of Capts. Clarke and Odell, detailed them and sent them forward. Coming up in good time and gallant style, we drove the sharpshooters over the hill. Of my men one was killed and about a dozen wounded, All the wtwnded were at an exposed poiut where we touched Lane's brigade. His men did not advance, which left up right flunk exposed and the men were shot from this direction. Those not wounded were soon out of ammunition, whereupon I ordered them to cease fir ing, unless the enemy advanced. It was dangerous to go to the rear, so 1 directed the wounded to remain in the cut 1 had their cartridges divided with the men able to fight, aud to- till the places so thinned out in my line, I loaded a niueket, the first one I ever loaded iu my lite, and made the Cap tains and Lieutenants under me do the same. We had about six rounds each, aud had the enemy advanced, I do not suppose a man of us would have es caped. That cut would have been a little modern Thermopylae. Though conscious of our own weakness, the enemy did not know it, and we showed a brave.front and stood firm. In the first hours of the black night, I sent off the wounded and rearranged the line of defence, and the res of us reniained until morning without fire or blankets. We were, then, relieved, and A. P, Hill's Division was sent back to our third line of defence." Thus he closes a description of the part he bore in this bloody tragedy. Of ceurse, it is meagre and imperfect, only what one saw from his several stand points during the action. But it is, nevertheless, interesting as an histori cal reminiscence. Many characteris tics of this intrepid young officer can be discovered in it, his goodness of heart, his humanity, his fearlessness, his untiring patience and heroic endur ance, and his gratitude and devotion to God. (TO BE CO!ftmLKD.) 8MILE AND BE CONTENTED. The world grows old, and men grow cold To each while seeking treasure, And what with want, and care and toil, We scarce have time for pleasure ; But never mind, that is a loss Not much to be lamented ; Life rolls on gaily if we will But smile and be contented. If we are poor and would be rich, It will dot be by pining ; No, steady hearts and hopeful minds Are life's bright silver lining. There's ne'er a man that dared to hope, Hath of his choice repented ; The happiest souls on earth are those Who smile and are contented. When grief doth como and rack the heart , And fortune bids us sorrow, From hope we may a blessing reap, And consolation borrow. If thorns may rise where roses bloom, It cannot be prevented ; So make the best of life you can, And smile and be contented. A New Military Order. Gen. Canby has issued, under date of March 3d, a general order, from which wo copy the following paragraph : The monthly reports of crimes, ar rests and of discharge or transfers of prisoners, required by existing orders from civil officers within this military district to the Provost Marshal Gener al, will, in future, be rendered through the Post Commander withiu whose jurisdiction such officers may be sen ing at the time. The duplicate reports required to be made to .Post Comman ders are hereby discontinued j. and the reports required of Post Commanders will hereafter embrace oidy such cases as are not includetl in the reports of civil officers, and will be rendered at the time these reports are forwarded, with such remarks as are requisite to a full understanding of any caseseed ing explanation. Post Commanders will report at the same time the meas ures taken, with a view to correct any neglect on the part of civil officers, either in failure to notice a reported crime, or to arrest the criminal, or for unusual or necessary delay in making the reports required. Post Commanders are charged with the prompt rendition of these reports, which will hereafter be forwarded by theu?direct to. the Provost Marshal General at these headquarters.

Nearly every Southern journal that reaches us contains an earnest invita tion to practical men of small or large means, and more especially farmers, to make the South their home. The in ducements offered are a delightful cli mate, and generous and easily culti vated soils, at prices and in quantities that can scarcely fail to meet the wants of all. That there is an immense and prospectively profitable field opened up to practical farmers in the South, is beyond dispute; that the induce ments offered are sufficiently tempting to have already attracted a large num ber of American and foreign emigrants and settlers. Of the latter class no less than nine ship loads have recently arrived at Texan ports, it being tbetr intentioa to devote tliemselves maialy to regular agrianltniwl jwiwiite. These foreign settlers are principally Gt mans. Quite a number of Vermont fin mers have also selected Texas as their future home. These latter have taken with them herds of improved cattle, it being their purpose to devote them selves to the raising of stock, the rich pastures of the State being specially adapted to this pursuit. l'roin other southern States, Virginia, North and South Carolina, we have similar gratifying reports.-To urnal of the Farm. .' A Second Washington. W. TT. Holden was the first man in North Carolina to nominate, and raise in the Standard, the nag of Jeftorsou Davis, for the Presidency of the Confederate States ; and he claimed that merit in his paper. u . IV. Hidden was the first man in North Carolina to call Col. Zobulon B. Vance from his command in the army to a canvass for the Governorship of tlie state, as tlie candidate or tne oiu Union party. He was, also the first to desert and oppose him, because be refused to concur with him in the effort to accomplish the peace which they both desired, by encouraging cowardly desertions from the army,and by har boring and protecting deserters them selves. W. W. Holden was the first aud only man in North Carolina who suggested the assasination of Abraham Lincoln. No one but him ever asked "who would plot for his head F There is no other North Carolinian who would not and , did not, blush at the baseness of the W. Holden is beyond dispute- though after a very burlesque fashion "first in war; first in peace; and first in the hearts of his countrymen." These countrymen now happen to be the martjr-worslHppers and fanatics at the North, and the multitudes hero of wandering carpet-bag Pilgrims, un sophisticated Heroes of Africa (L . H. O. A.) of all colors, and uncircumcised native scalawags, whose skins, by some mistake, happened to be white, with nothing else white about them.
