A Flan for Doublingthe Amount of Con* to Each Plow Horse. Let every farmer proceed at once to break bis landa intended for corn to the greatest possible depth. This preparation will be great Jv facilitated by the very deep freeziugof the late cold woather. Immediately before plant ing, introduce a two horse harrow, and con tinue the operation until the earth is thor oughly pulverized and smooth as a plaut bed. Then check with a boll tongue both ways before planting, at distance? regulated in refereuce 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*u*e the plant? to stand iu a di rect line both ways. As soon as the corn is up, commence plowing with a buzzard, pr M weep, (as they are called by manr,) not leis than twenty-two inches in width, so construc ted as to skin the surface only au iach deep, aud with two furrows to each row. The next time cross plow with the same instrument, and so on uutil the crop has attained age and size sufficient to need co farther attention. ITS A UV A N Ta J KS. 1st. Each plow horse can cultivate forty acres on this plan as eis ?lr as twenty in the common way, simply because two furrows an swer the purpose of four, and the dr^ft 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 their roots. The light reflected upon this subject by thc science of vegetable phy- ! siology, and facts founded on experience of late years have convinced many close obser vers that they have plowed too much. It ?3 through their roots that the plants obtain their nourishment from the soil, and hence it is that frequent plowings, that tear away at least hali of them at each operation, must ex ert a very retarding influence over their growth acd development. Every observing man has seen very promising crops almost ruined, especially at tho laat plowing, by the destruction of their roots or feeders at the very time their united contributions were re quired to perfect the ea?. lid. Corn thus cultivated, upon a soil deep ly broken, will be less injured by drought. Very few of the suriace roots are destroyed, and the plants obtain the requisite moisture from those that hare penetrated more deeply into the earth, none of which are injured by i the Hurface plow. 4th. A crop thus cultivated attains earlier maturity, and exhibits silks and tassels about ten days curlier than in fields plowed iu the usual way. 5th. Tn? use of the hoe is scarcely requir ed wiiere the crop is dropped and planted as directed. nth. From planting time until the crops are matured, no outlay for the repair of im plements is required. Thc sweep or buzzard, thc only one used, actiug ou a soft and well pulverized surface will last for years. 7th. The rrop has a firmar foothold in the soil, ?nd will be found eroct after gales that prostrate fields where tho plow Las been uacd. i adopted ibeabova pUuof cultivating the own crop on ?ll we?i broken lauds, some len years since, and with tile most encouraging result* at all times, s.ud ululer overy variety of seasous, and with scarcely mor;: than half the labor-tor tuan and Dorso required hy the c?mmon plan. Plowing with thc sweep ta so easily and BO cuickly done, and the field? ao often pa*sed over, that the plowman will ba pleased lo discover thu instead of killing grass and weeds his effo. ta have effectually prevented them. It will be objected that teoaciou3 clay landa are liable to became too hard. This will not happen if well broken before planting. Heavy rains, followed by hot sunshine, will break the surface aud form au indurated crust. But let any gantletuaa commence boring with his finger, as I have often done, and fae will dis cover thia ernst is seldom half an inch ?hick, whilst all below is. in a condition favorable to the expansion of thc roots of plants. Skin ning the surface an inch deep soon after heavy rains on such soils, pulverizers this crust and imparts to it anew the power of absorbing J ammonia, and " othr r atmospheric fertilisers, so exhilarating to the growing crop. Profoundly impressed with the importance I of provision crops the coming year, ia the present condition of our country, I have been j induced to submit the results of my observa I tiona, "backed by a aeries of well tr jed experi ! meats, to the consideration of the (armers of tho country. It is 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 maj think best, but J, as heretofore, will continue to prove my faith by my works. PEY. CASK OF DESPERATION-An old lady went to tho passenger depot, in Atlanta, tr few days since, with a bundle of clothes and a little bag of sugar, and seating herself, began a soliloquy in this wi9e : " Wal, I hearn tell on a good stealin' in this yer town, but they can't steal from me,'" and after thus delivering her self, carefully placed her bundles under her head, and before she know it, dropped off in to a snooze. After a refreshing nap, she awoke, and discovering, to her great amaze ment, that her dry goods and sugar had dis appeared, the jumped up, and, standing erect, with her face lifted skyward, exclaimed, " Bless God, the Heaven's above me and the eartha beneath me, and here I stand, just as I am, without a rag ! Thank Qnd they can't wear my petticoat, 'cau.e that's got my namo on it, but they can eat my sugar 1"-Atlanta Confederacy. DESECRATION or TEH SABBATH.-A corres pondent of the Mississippian writes : One of the most lamentable and alarming signs of the times in our struggle for liberty, is the unparalleled desecration of the Sabbath day ; that day which God has commanded to be kept holy. Mea may affect to. score such old fashioned Puritanism and avail themselves of every frivolous excuse 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 ?J1 the boasted armies of the enemy. |ggr A STOCK SERMON-A young-man on the ere of going to Australia, heard hin father preach from the text, Adam, where art thou?"

The ad rn nee of the enemy across Big Black was at first successfully disputed by Rosa1 brigade, and the Yankees driven off the field, leaving their dead and wounded. Their infantry then came up, advancing rapidly, and determined, slowly driving bnck Leo's cavalry which opposed them. Overwhelming numbers swept upon oar forces, compelling their retreat to Jackson to which point the enemy have so far' success fully advance. There has been no general engagement I can learn of, but .pur forcea are concentrated, and it ia 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.
