SorghumpLtNTisu?After tba soil has bean wall broken, and thoroughly pulverized, the process of'planting becomes very sitn. pla. Tba tpacea between the rows mav* be a little ly then ere allowed for 4^ corn. The object being a large crop of etalks, without much regard to the pro ductioo of seed, the plant* wi'.l bear more crowding than would be consistent with m a full field in a corn crop. Hence the rowa, in a fertile toil, and on a favorable Southern gsposure, not be more than three and It half feet apart, and if the planting ia-done in "hill," one and m half . or two feet apart in the row*; tbe space between tbe rdws mar be reduced to three ? feet. The question, as to whether the plant ihg abould be done by "drilling" or in "hille,*!* still an open question, on which iprruers diner id opinion, i lie ctnel chum of ?lbie difference, we presnme, ie to be ? found ill tbe difference of toil end I oca iioo Tbe cireurnataneee limiting the ex teot to which tbe etalks may be crowded ere, first, tbe degree of fertility in the eoil, end ite- natural warmth ; aecondly, the situation of tbo surface with reference to tbe sun. If tbeae are both faVorable tbe eoil will bear tbe largest number of ptante that eao be broughljo full growth end * maturity on a gireo. quantity of land. Then comes in t^e secondary question * of convenience in the planting and cub ture of the crop. Soil of given qua ity will undoubtedly produce laiger stalks of cane when drill eti tban when planted io hills. Because there w then the most general distribu Hon o' stalk* over the surface, that is con istent with proper tillsge of the lend ? the plants being nowhere crowded In tbe * rows. * But, on the other bind, the mode of cultivating in hi*'e has the advantage of greater convenience in pleating and hoe* m ing> ? If, than, the object is to make the land yield a /ull crop of the largest possible stalks, we believe the plan of drijliug is best. This should be done with care. If Abe soil is at all e)oddy, it is beet to let e bend follow the plough which draws the furrows for plaating, with a garden rake, end reaaove tbe dode from the bottom of the furrows. Tbe seeda should than be scattered uniformity along the row?two or three times as many being put in ee will be wanted to produce stalks. The covering should be with very loose mould, MMM tbu u inch in daptb.? |a pianta trn of conveniant aist, ould l># thianad out, to M to auad at a diatanea of 4 to 7 inchaa opart If load ia iriora abundant tban labor, tba mailtod of pUnlin|^^ajdM? ia proba bljr boat.

If at all convenient, it is best to plant as soon after a rain as the soil will bear tillage^ because, is the seeds hove been previously soaked iu warm water, for about 48 hours, they will then come up in four or five days, and most probably escape the incrustation of the surface by ruin falling toon after the planting hat been done. Qi'aktitv I'noDVCKD.?Au acre planted in drills, with an average distance of three and a half feet between the rows,and six inches between the stalks in the rows, will produce about 25,000 stalks. The same quantity of land in hills, the spaces between the rows being three and a half feet, and the bills being two feet apart, with an average of five stalks to the hill, wiy produce 30,000 stalks. But in the former case, the stalks grow* ing singly are usually larger than they are in the latter case, where they grow in clusters. The large stalks contain a greater per cent, of saccarine matter than the small ones, and thus compensate? probably more than compensate for infe 1 it .? ?-? living in uniiiucr. iicniw Hie UUIlCiUBIOVI rtf many farmers that a crop in drilln is more productive of molasses than the same quantity of land planted in hills. PliKCAUrioN.?Be careful to procure pure need and to keep it pure. If litis crop baa but'a few atalka of Iroom-corn growing witb it, or if it ia planted near broom corn, the bloom of the two plants raing ea, and a kind ofbjbridor mongrel plaul ia produced. Wheu the purity of the crop baa been thus impaired, the quantity of tuolaaaee ia diininiabed. The different varieties of so'rgbum will thus become mixed in the aarae way. To pre ,vent this, they muat be planted ao far apart that the pollen from the broom of one kind will not be blown upon the ueau* 01 \ue oilier kind.?Lax Uazttlc. Tb# Capture of Plymouth. We are indebted totbe Kichmond Dispatch for the following addition*! particulars of ibe capture of Plymouth by Gen lloke : The force engaged on our aide was Hoke's brigade, commanded by Col. Mercer, of ibe 2lit Ga., Itanaoin's brigade, commanded by Gen. Hansom, and Kemper's (Virginia) brigade, commanded by Col. Terry. On Sunday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, our force*, under tbe command of Gen. Hoke, arrived in front of Plymouth, the fortification* being plainly risible through the tree* behiud which the Confederates were drawn up. The lat Virginia regiment, commanded by Major Norton, waa thrown forward as skirmisher*, and the on. ..*. ?:?i -I ? - ?uciuj |iivhv!i icuiuu ueumu uieir ioriificauoD*. Just m the firing commenced * whit* object was seen in the field io front, which whs supposed to be a flag of truce, but which proved to be a target planted tbere ffv the Yankees for artillery practice. In the same field there were' several targets planted, and by pre vious practice the enemy had gotten a perfect range of all the approaches to their works The Yankees opened on the skirmishers with the large guns in the fort which they were approaching, in which was mounted a 100 pouuder l'tr rott and 8 inch Colurobiad. No assault wm made on Sunday afternoon, though the skirmishers were kept ojt. Duriirg the afternoon s gunboat carne out from behind the town and started up the river with a pleasure party on board. [ Oar Artillery opened on ber, but though truck the proceeded on up the river, tended her passengers, end thet night et tempted to dropdown to the town. She wee egein ettecked by the artillery, end bv eome sharpshooter* poeted on the banke for the purpoee, but without stopping her. On Monday our forcea held the position .assumed Sunday evening, the enemy shelling at times furiously. By this shelling the follow casualties, of which we have beard, occurred in the 1st Virginia regiment : Delaware McMin, wounded in the aide, supposed mortally ; Frank Josephs, ankle crushed : Tbeo. J. Robertson. in eight places, all slight; Lieut. Payne, face, ?|ight. On Tuesday, it seems, heavy fighting occurred, yitb varied sucoess, and on Wednesday morning the place was carried by assault, Hoke's brigade entering and charging with.the bayonet up the principal streets. Col. Mercer, who led them, was killed. lJuring Tuesday our artillery, including the Fayette Artillery, of Richmond, was planted within 160 i yards of the fortifications and opened fire. TLe Fayette Artillery, it is staled, suffered heavily from the enemy's fire. The gunboat which went out of the Koanoke it is said made short work of the t-hipping in front of the town, Sunday morning our cavalry pickets found n negro spy coming into our lines wearing the dress of a field hand, and having a red handkerchief tied around his head. Under this dress was found the full uniform of a Yankee soldier.? The negro was hung on the spot. Impressive Ceremony at Daltos.

Episcopal Church in Dalton, on Wednesday, in ihe con fir malion, by Bishop Elliott, of four Generals of the Army o{ Tennessee. LieutenantGensral Hardee, and Generals Govatt, Shupe, and Slrahl. The last named General was first received into the Church by baptism, and then the rites of confirmation were administered to hiin with the others. An immense concourse, civil and mili* tarv, witnessed the imposing spectacle, including the Commander in Chief and neatly every General otlicer in the army. The Rev. l)r. Quaintard arid others of the Episcopal clergy officiated. The eereoionv of "the laying on of hands," was performed bv the einutfot Bishop of this lnucecc, ibe Kt. K??. liiabup Stephen D. Elliott. The Protestant Episcopal Church of the South cIhiiiis at present among it* members some of the most eminent civil ml military officers of tim Confederacy, including Ills Excellency the President, General Lee, General Johnson, and Lieut. Geceral Hardee, while a Bishop of the Diocese of Louisiana is now at the he>d of a brave army, and in striking distance, whenever the Philistines of the North may nexi assail our lines. What a sublime spectacle presented to the world. How grandly moral the con'rast must appear to our Meter nations abroad, with the patient and unfaltering .Davis, the Liberty martyred Jackson, the heroic Johnston, the veteran Ilardee, and L. . r - tuts great we, "communing Willi tbe an gel* in Heaven," and a boat of other do* hie defender* of a holy cauie, against such men a* LuicoIii and Deecher, the profane Duller, the sacrilegious Drown* low and Andrew Johnson, to say nothing of Ttircliin and the horde of the leaser light* in infamy, bearing deeo'atiou with tie torch and axe ever a peaceful land.

We do not, as many others, attribute such things to cor ruption, hut to the selection of unworthy and uncompetenl agents.

But the burdens should be distributed with fairness, impartiality, and a due regard to the wants and necessities of the country. It is much to be deplored that the caprice or the convenience of the officer is often substituted for them. Some of these persons wield a power scarcely less than attanlute. There are few men whose heads could not be turned if their hearts were not corrupted by such a situation. It behooves those, then, who are charged with the delicate dut es of providing for the important exigencies upon us, to see to it that they select | agents, who, from negligence, or love of a**, or any worse motive, shall i<ot add an unnecessary tax upon the well tried patriotism of ibis people.?
