We re-published from Scribncr on !
Saturday a letter from (iiii. 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

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. I consider it a part of my du* <
duty to express my views to the com- t
manding General. 11 he approves and 1
adopts them is well; if ho does not, it
is my duty to adapt his views and to I
execute his orders faithfully sand zeal- t
ausly as if they had been my own I t

views been thought better of; yet I
am much inclined to accept the present,
condition as for the best. I bono
and trust that it is so.
"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. Lee is our commander,

and influence we can give him, ll the

says: "Had I taken your advice at

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.
