Lee to I Jell' Davis, written on iho 8th of August, 180:1, in which the Coufodoiate chieftain assumed ail the responsibiliiy for tlie disasters to his army at Gettysburg, and asked to be relieved from the command. There can he 110 doubt t hat I this letter is genuine, and that Genci- I al Lee was sincere in making the sug- | gestions it contains. With lids letter and vhGeneral's leasons for writing ** it we have nothing further to do at 1 present than call attention to the strong cofto bora Lory relation it bears to one written by General Longstreet fifteen days before the l'oriuer was penned. While Longstreet was eucamped at Culpepper Courthouse lie received a letter from his uncle, Dr. A. 15. Longstreet, LL. 1)., of Columbus, Ga., in which the Doctor urged his nephew to publish some of ihe facts connected with the battle of Gettysburg that his correct position with that aftair might be known. The General vviote to his uncle an answer, from which the subjoined extract is now published tor the first time. General Longstreet was opposed to the policy of attacking the. Union army at the cemetery, and so expressed himself to General Lee, but was overruled . by his commanding ollicer, and did the best he could to turn the mistake into success, ilis corps was liist in readiness and first to make the attack. Other Confederate commanders were bo tatdy in coming into action that 1 the day was lost. Lee saw and ae- 1 knowledged his error, thus doing lull justice to the survivors, though he could not restore to life the thousands of brave men slain in attempting to carry out his rash policy. Appended to General Longstreet's letter is an extract from one written bun some time ago by Captain T. J. Gon e, his aide-decamp at Gettysburg: "Camp, Cui.pkpm: Oouktiiouhb, July 2 f, 1803.?My Dear Uncle: As ( to our late battle 1 cannot say much. 1 I have no right to say anything, in 1 fact, but will venture a little lor you alone, ll it goes to aunt and cousins ( it must be under promise that it goes i no further. The l?-?ttl h ii/'iu not i??-wlr? 1 ! us I would have had it. My idea was i 1 to throw ourselves between the enemy ' and Washington, select u strong posi- i tion, and force the enemy to attack us. So far as it is given to man | the ability to judge, we may say I with confidence that we should ha ye : l destroyed the Federal army, marched into Washington, and dictated our I terms, or at least held Washington and marched over as much o! Fennsylva- t nia as we cared to, had we drawn the | enemy into attack upon our carefully* } chosen position into his rear. General ; < Lee chose the plans adopted, and he is ; the person appointed to chose and to ' order.

"Your programme would all be well enough were it practicable, and was ' duly thought of, too. I fancy that ' no good ideas upon that campaign ' will be mentioned that did not receive their attention and consideration by (Jenoral Lee. The few things that lie might have overlooked himself 1 be- j lieve were suggested by myself. As ; we failed of success, 1 must take my J part of the responsibility. In fact, I ! would prefer that all the blame should rest on me. As (.Jen.

Captain T. .I. tloree, ol I louston, Texas, in a letter to (lencral Lougst i net, says: "Another important circumstance, which I distinctly remember, was in the winter ol I 804, when you sent me from L ist Tonnes-| see to Orange Courthouse wiili some dispatches to < leneral Lee.

Applying .Manures. By ;i scries of experiments m:ulo some years ago, in Kugland, it. was shown that bamyur I manures benefitfcd crops most the first season, when covered aiiout two inches deep with | soil. This result appears reasonable, i but the (juesiion >s, how can farmers place their manures in the ground s,t this d? plii V It ts not practicable in i any case, but they can approximate to j it in some cases. When manure is ploughed under in the ordinary way, some of it is covered loo deep to benefit the crop the same season, and it is made available if the land be plunged the second year. Some farmers plough their land, then spread on the manure and harrow it in, but much oi it is left upon the surface, and is partially lost, as the ammonia that goes id) in the atmosphere is the virtue of the manure itsell. It, is strange that we should find intelligent farmers, at, this late day in agricultural progress, who deny that Oarnyard manure can be injured by exposure to the air and sun; yet they do cxihU A tew ye.ira ago, a farmer in Central New York, wroLo several articles tor publication, in which he attempted to prove that when manure lies upon tile hiiHhcq of the land and dries up, its fertility is s1111 in ii, concentrated in the small crusts ihat remain 1 Farmers, let me caution you against the lolly ol carting your manures upon your held, and spreading them lor a weeK or longer, before you plough them under. It this he done in the spring, with a warm sun, and high, drying winds, a large portion of them, or rai her of their fertility, will pass oil" in the atmosphere. Don't, he deceived in tins matter wiiilo your olfactory, nerves bear pungent evidence ol the truth ol what I say. You cannot. ai'Vord to work your hu ms on this wasting principle. Manure is money, and if one should ace you scattering "green hacks" over the liehl, on some windy day, the evidence )l your insanit y would he hut a little more tangible, than when you spread your manures, And leave them to evaporate in the sun and hy the winds.

JAMIAltY, 1776. Its Resemblance h? Jsaury of tIiIs YearTito Opening <?f the Revolutionary Campaign. It is remarkable that the first month of thin centennial year closely resembled that of 1 776. Tho journals of that year speak of tho unusual mildness ol the season, it was even said that tho lack of the usual ice in Boston harbor prevented Washington lrom crossing his forces and attempting a surprise on the city, and tho Americans were enabled to continually send forth vessels from all parts of llie bari i ur .i ! . i* oor 10 ine west liniiojr lor munitions of war. Tho mil I season enabled Gen. Schuyler, in these first. ?laya ol Intimity, to dispatch his well-planned littleoxpedition'up the Mohawk valley to surprise Use Highlanders, tin lor. Thin Ollh.er. one of the ablest in our history, was then exceedingly popular, I > 111 a combination of unlucky .circumstances and of sectional prejudice deprived him subseqnontlyof.tlio glory, which was entirely his, of the first great victory ol the war. The first of .January, 1-7 til, had been signalized by the barbarous burning of an old historic colonial town, Norfolk in Yirgina, by Lord Dnntnore. This had only intensified the bitterness of the feelings of the citizens against the Hritish government. All parts of the country were in much the same state ol feeling toward the royal administration which tlui border Stales were in here toward the central government in I8G1. Many of tho conservative and the loyal dreaded to brake tho old ties with the parent country- Tho interests of 1 iw and order seemed to many on the side of the crown. Tho sentiments, trom long-trhditiou and from family and liistoVipal. connection with the old country, hound them to the royal party, families.like the Delanccys and the Pliflipses, in New York State, the lat.ter'of whom owned land almost from Yonkers to tho Highlands, feared to risk their large property intcrests ill a rebellion wjiicli seemed to liaVo- no clmno<? ol success, in New York city many of iho wealthy lami no* siu<hi u.y iiik uih vviij v^weeim cju illy remained loyal; the old Dutch fnmilies Around the city wore often averse to joining the revolutionary movement of the men of New England. Even in New England itself, one town, Portsmouth, N. II., refused to join the po^jar movement, and set tip a government of its own. It looked at one time as if the future of the repuh'm which should declare itself independent of Great Britain, would consist of New England; and Franklin even had the courage to write that, if New "England formed a separate confederation against the crown, he would throw in his fortunes with her. New York, during this first winter of the century, remained in a condition of semi-neutrality, the British ships lying in the harbor without molesting the city , and the Americans sending out, unimpeded, their small cralt to obtain supplies from the West Indies. The more revolutionary spirits of New England were indignant at this apathy, and Bee, with one of his rattle-brained expeditions from Connecticut to New York city, came very near exposing the town to the horrors of battle. The historic names of the State hogiu already to appear on the side ol the most determined re vol us' tionists?the Jays, Livingstons, Van Konsselacrs, Schuylers, llauultooH, and others; and as a general thing those i with the largest interest in the country were lound ready to risk the most. It was in these January days that the letters of the time relate the incident of a farce played by the British officers in B >ston, called "Forcing the Blockade," wherein Washington was pictured in a ludicrous garb, but which was suddenly interrupted by the hurried announcement by the seigcant that the "rebels were fortifying the hills around the city!" This was supposed by the audience to bo a wellacted part of the farce, and it was only the confusion and departure of the actors which showed that the play had become a reality. Washington, during that January, managed to disguise the siiiallness of his army so well that his 9,000 was ainpliticd, in popular belief, to *20,000, and this impres sion, though he was utterly destitute of ammunition, with his masterly occupation ot Dorchester heights, compelled, a little later, the evacuation of tho city. It was in January, it wo are not mistaken, that the new flag ol thirteen stripes of red and white, but witliout the stars, wan first unfurled in the Continental army, near Boston. The winter was full, to tho colonies, of anxiety, excitement, and danger. It was evidently tho opening of a groat ?#ar, and a threat change in the world's history. Few could predict whether disaster or success would bo the result. p* ... , . . # *? <m '?? m mm ~ ??wr \ \ A fefJS ItLTSEMEN'Ts 11191Vf? i j|? *I.,M) rx?r loimm for firsi, tl.ty cents toreacli suh.viqiiniit insertion. and O 'P ?? 1 ? .?;??; ? .v 111 ?
