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

teot to which tbe etalks may be crowded

to tbe sun. If tbeae are both faVorable
tbe eoil will bear tbe largest number of

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

covering should be with very loose mould,

standing in each group.
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

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

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.

wee egein ettecked by the artillery, end

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,

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.
