Let every farmer proceed at once to break bis lands intended for corn to the greatest possible depth. This preparation wil! be great ly facilitated by the v?ry deep freeziug of the late cold weather. Immediately before plant ing, introduce a two horse barrow, and con tinue the operatio i until the earth is thor oughly pulverised and smooth as a plant bed. Then check with a boll tongue both wars before planting, at distances regulated in reference to tko strength of the land, tak ing care that the dropper pursues the furrow, first laid off, instead of those that cross them, which will c*n,e tue plant? to stand iu a di rect line both ways. As soon as the coru is up, commence plowing with a buzzard, pr .sweep, (as they are called by manyj not less than twenty-two inches in width, so construc ted as to skin the surface only an inch deep, and with Iw-o furrows to each row. The next time cross plow with the same instrument, and so on uutil the crop lias attained age and size sufficient to need no farther atteution. ITS ADVANTACIKS. 1st. "Each flew horse can cultivate forty acres on this plan as easily as twenty in the common way, simply because two furrows an swer the purpose of four, and the draft is be lieved to be lightened fifty per cent. 2d. This plan of surface cultivation imposes no drawback upon the plants from a lacera tion of tbpir roots. The light reflected upon this subject by the science of vegetable phy siology, and facts founded on experience of late years nave convinced many close obser vers that they have plowed too much. It is through their roots that tie plants obtain their nourishment from the soil, and hence it is that frequent plowing*, that tear away at least hall of them at each operation, must ex ert a very retarding influence ov?;r their growth and development. Every observing man has seen very promising crops almost ruined, especially at the last plowing, by the destruction of their roots or feeders at the very time their united contributions "were re quired to perfect the ea*. 3d. Corn thus cultivated, upon a soil deep ly broken, will be less injured by drought. Very few of the surface roots are destroyed, aud the plants obtain the requisite moisture from those that have penetrated more deeply into the earth, npne of which are injured by the surface plow. 4'.h. A crop thaa cultivated attains earlier maturity, aud exhibits silks and tassels about ' ten days curlier than in fields plowed iu the usual way. 5th. T?o use of the hoe is sc^rc-ly requir ed wtiere the crop is dropped and planted as directed. nth. From planting time until the crops are matured, nu outlay for the repair of im plements is required. Thc sweep orbuzzard, thc only one used, acting on a soft and well pulverized surface will last for years. 7th.

Flowing with thc sweep ia so easily and so quickly done, and the fields so often parsed over, that the plowman will bs pleased to discover that instead of killing <-rs3S and weeds his efforts have ellcctuiilly prevented them. It will bc objected that tenacious slay landa are liable to become too hard. This will not happen if welt broken btfor? planting. Heavy rains, followed by L ot sunshine, will break the surface and firm an indurated crust. But let any gantletuaj? comuience bering with his finger, as I bare often done, and be trill dis cover this-croat is seldom half an incb ?nick, whilst ali below is. in a condition favorable to the expansion of tb? roots of plants. Skin* ning thc surface an incb deep soon after beary rains on auch soils, pulverizers this crust and imparts t? it anew the power of absorbing ammonia, and 'other atmospheric fertilizers, so exhilarating to the growing crop. I Profoundly impressed with the importance ! of provision crops the coming year, in the present condition of onr cocntry, I have been induced to submit the res ul rs of my observa tions, "backed by a series of well trjed experi ments, to the consideration of the farmers of tho cocntry. It ia conceded on all aides that there is an alarming deficiency of horse pow er in alllhe agricultural Districts, and hence the necessity of making that power available to the fullest extent, in supplying the wants of the people. Others will do as they may think best, bat J, as heretofore, will continue to prove my faith by my works. PRY. CASE OF DESPERATION-An old lady went to the passenger depot, in Atlanta, tr few days since, with a bundie of clothes and a little bag of sugar, and seating herself, began a soliloquy in this wise : " Wal, I.beam tell on a good stealin' in this y er town, but they can't steal from me," and after thus delivering her self, carefully placed her bundles under her bead, and before she know it, dropped off in to a snooze. After a refreshing nap, sho awoke, and discovering, to her great amaze ment, that her dry goods and sugar had dis appeared, she jumped up, and, standing erect, with her face lifted skyward, exclaimed, "Bless God, the Heaven's above me and the earth's beneath me, and here I stand, just as I am, withont a rag ! Thank God they can't wear my petticoat, 'cause that's got my namo oa it, but they can eat my sugar I"-Atlanta Confederacy. DESECRATION or THH SABBATH.-A corres pondent of the Mississippian Trites : One of the most lamentable and alarming signs of the times in our struggle for liberty, is the unparalleled desecrater, of the Sabbath day ; that day which God has commanded to be kept holy. Men may affect to, scorn such old fashioned Puritanism and avail themselves of every frivolous exouse for violating this sacred day, but we have more to fear from this and kindred evils that prevail in our land, than we have from bankruptcy, starvation, or ell the boasted armies of the oncroy. .. - . --. t?*A.

The advnnce of the enemy across Big Black waa at first successfully disputed by Ross' brigade, and the Yankees driven off the field, leaving their dead and wounded. Their infantry then came up, advancing rapidly, and determined, slowly driving back Lee's cavalry which opposed them. r- . Overwhelming numbers swept upon onr forces, compelling their retreat to Jackson to which point the enemy have so far' success fully advance. There has been no goneral engagement I can learn of, but .oar forcea are concentrated, and it is probable that the enemy will.not at tempt to advance further at present, but will rest satisfied with the occupation of Jackson^-; while reinforcements, and supplies can be brought to his aid.
