Red Glover. M EbrrOES Southern Cui/rcvATor.:?In compliance with your request, I send you an article on the cultivation'of red clover. ?The-first inquiry is properly, as to the ? ? soil suited to'this valuable plant. . The success of its "cult are depends, not so m uch upon climate as soil?not-so. much; upon heat or cold as upon proper food; Give the clover plant its proper nourishment, - and enough of .it, and it will grow upon :. almost any soil, provided it be not wet, or swampy, or ? bed of sand. It is. one of those plants which succeed, but do not V precede*, the domestic "animals. Whenever erne of these animals thrive, I believe clover . yill thrive, if enough of the manure of \ these-animals be given. This is one of the - wonderful provisions of divin? Providence, . for overpopulation, whether of quadrupeds ortnen*. There is scarcely a plant which . ' accommodates itself to to great a variety ' J>f climates as-clover. It flourishes among ,?the highlands of Scotlaud and Norway. X It also. flourishes in the fervent beats of ?i:. Spain and Italy. It grows.well in Massa V ohdsetts, but hot so .well as I have Been it growing on Hutchinsons Island, opposite Savannah, and in Baldwin county, near on y the'ekirtsOf Milledgeville. But the.land v oi'jp&tcbinsoa's -'Island v/as rich bottom, - ahtl the upland in Baldwin county was ; . heavily manured by . Mr. DeLaunay.? :<' Tliese^. and a number of; other instances, .v^wb^b'rmight be citedy show-that clover is A '-comparatively. indifferent. as to . climate, v It is.the proper-soil, naturally or artifi? cially, which is most essential' to success. ?- JPersons -who say that clover will not gtow .at the South, merely display their ?ignorance. Some soils are-mechanically more favor? able to clover, than others?clay suiting it V hetter than sand-.;,But a sandy soil, with r.~ a good clay^fbundation, if dry, will grow ' clover, if well manured. Some soils will grow clover without manure?as rich bottom land, dry enough . for wheat, or good fresh upland, with a ..v.-alay- foundation, from which the salts have not been extracted by cultivation. But no upland need be sowed wjth clover, that will not brings of a fair year, ten bushels of . wheat, or twenty-five to thirty bushels -of oorn. Almost any oak or hickory up? land, in woods, if the timber is out down and bunied, except rail timber, and ashes " .. spread carefully, will bring good clover. % \ Ashes are an admirable manurefor clover. '^^^^^^^^^^eta^/^t the North, when, clearing such lands, to barrow in ; -wheat with clover. The wheat, of a good . ; year, pays for the clearing. "It is not broken up for oorn until the third or fourth year, when the roots are all dead, and the : plowing is easy for man and beast. This is: certainly the proper method of clearing and" treating land, Where the timber is not valuable. But, some persons ill say, "We have ..; always understood that clover is an' im? prover of land." So it is. But the land ? must first bo made rich enough, if not so naturally, to give the clover a good start. Then, with a proper rotation, and a proper . treatment of the clover, the land will con? tinue to improve without other manure, and withor^-resowing the clover. Forin stance, Sipiece of ground is in clover, ? "which liasgone to seed. Let it be turned >r over deeply with a two horse plow, plant ; r?d in corn, cultivated shallow, sowed in oats in the fall, and the next fall, the ^ stubble be turned over, deeply, with a two horse plow, and sowed in wheat. The burned clover seed brought to the surface, hy the list plowing, will vegetate. Let -." the land remain in clover two or three yearsj and repeat the above or a similar rotation.'. The improvement of land, so treated,, will be steady and valuable, y - while, each year, it is paying a handsome ' interest. It would occupy too much space to enter upon a description of the special mauures for clover. The general remark may be '-. made that, any manure- that will make , ? good wheat, will make good clover. The . wheat ought to pay for the manure. ? A gallon of seed is sufficient for an acre, or a bushel to eight acres?the bushel now costs eight to ten dollars. The best time to sow the seed is about the time of sow? ing turnips. Sown so early, if without ? grain, it may be cut or pastured the next ' .spring. If with wheat, it should not be sown later, than the middle of October. If not . Bown by that time, it will be better to defer it until February and put it in with oats. The seed, if covered at all, should be mere? ly brushed in and then rolled. The rolling will be of great service, both to the grain . and the clover. Ground heavily manured, will be apt to produce \ a heavy coat of crab grass, or weeds, after the grain is cut. The weeds will not hurt the clover, but the crab grass should be mowed befoi e it blossoms, other? wise, it might smother the clover. The crop of hay will abundantly pay for the . - mowing. Persons unacquainted with glo? ver, should not be discouraged, if, the first year, the y oung plants look very'thin and scattering. They may wear tin's appear? ance and yet cover the ground the second ? year. After the clover has once gone to seed, it may be pastured or mown, and not be? fore. If the main object be the improve? ment of the land, live stock, pasturing the . clover, should not be removed at night. If grazed closely by stock removed at night, the improvement of the soil will be email and derived chiefly from the roots. "When clover is grazed in the spring, as soon as the stubble field is open, all stock should be removed and a heavy growth of clover be encouraged during the summer. : If closely grazed, during the summer of a dry year, the sun will kill it. It may be said that, if clover cannot be -pastured during the summer, it is of little nse. It may be said, as well, that it is of little use at the North, because it cannot be pastured during the winter. It may be grazed at the North in June, July, August and September?not even all that time in . a dry season. It may be grazed at the Sooth in April, May, June and July, also in October, November and December.?! And, with this additional advantage, on the. part of the South, during the summer, . ; wo havo crab grass as an alternative. At . the North, after frost until the following . June, they have no alternative. The curing of clover hay, at the South, is a simple affair. It should not be cut until many of the heads begin to turn br?wn, All that % cut during the day fehould be put into cocks four or five feet high, and as small in diameter as will stand upright. This should be done before night.. These cocks should stand two or three days, according to the weather, and then be taken to the stack or barn. One day's sun, if the clover he spread, will cause the leaves to drop off and leavo nothing but stems. The same remark is true of Lucerne. Some persons may be detered from sow? ing clover, in view of the heavy manuring which is represented to be necessary.- This manuring should be charged to the wheat or oats, with which it is sown. The real . cost Of the clover, is the seed, sowing and covering?not two dollar's per acre. A boavy manuring may be accomplish? ed1 at little cost, by folding sheep upon turnips, as pointed out in rny article, in the July number of the Cultivator. This plan is adopted in England, hut cannot be adopted at the North, as the"turnips can not (stand their winters. A substitute may be adopted by those who do not like sheep. Let a field be planted in drilled corn, the rows wide apart, and woll manured. Between the rowc, alternately, peas and pumpkins should be planted. The peas manured in the drill, aud pumpkins in the hill. This crop may be folded with hogs or cattle.? They will need no water, as pumpkins prevent its- necessity. Cotton seed may be used for corn, phosj)hatio manure, in small quantity, for the peas, and guano for the pumpkins. It will require very little of these special manures. Hogs can be fattened, in this way, with the least possi? ble cost. This-crop, returned to the soil through the bowels of. hogs or cattle, will make it very rich and, at the same time, pay very well for its cost. Wheat and clo? ver could follow it with much advantage. The practice of turning stock at large, into a ' cornfield is wasteful and inefficacious. Some rich spots will receive too much ma? nure, other poor spots will receive too little. By this folding system the whole solid and liquid manure, of the animals, is evenly distributed, and without the labor of spreading or hauling. He, who has once tried this labor-saving system, will hardly abandou it. Thus, it appears that land ?can be made sufficiently rich to Dring clo? ver aud, at the same time, for its improve? ments, in the process. The attention of farmers is earnestly di? rected to this important subject. Our land is our only capital. Wo make it doubly valuable, by increasing its fertility and, therefore, increasing it saleable value, and, at the same time, increasing its annual returns in the way of remunerative crops. The basis of this improvement is a suffi? ciency of manure to allow the adoption of an ameliorating rotation, and the basis of this rotation is clover. C. W. HOWARD. The New Military Dispensation.? The following extracts from General Or? ders No. 7, published at the Headquarters, Department of the South, Atlanta, Ga., August 14, will be read with interest: ? ? ? # sfs :Jc "In the State of South Carolina the posts to he occupied will be Columbia, Charleston and Aiken, and garrisoued as follows: At Columbia, the 8th Regiment United States Infantry; at Charleston, the six Companies of the 6th Regiment United States Infantry; at Aiken, Com? panies H and L, 5th United States Caval? ry. * "In addition to his duties as commander of the regiment, Colonel J. V. Bumford, is' assigned to the command of all the ti'oops in-the State, which is hereby made the District of South Carolina. The com? manding officer of the district will exercise bis Judgment, based on the reports of medical officers, whether to place the troops assigned to Charleston at once in the city, or at Sumraervillo until the season of epidemics is passed." Paragraph 8 provides that "The Chief Quartermaster of the Department will es? tablish his principle depot of supplies at Charleston, S. C, constituting Newbern," N. C, and, if necessary, Savannah, Ga., as Bub-depots." Paragraph 9 is as follows: "Brevet Col. M. Cogswell, of the 8th Infantry, will con? tinue in the discharge of his present duties as Chief of Civil Affairs in the late Second Military District, and will, under the in? struction of the Major-General command ing, bring said affairs to a close as soon as practicable, and retrench all expenditures possible.

BARSTOW, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General. - A Man op Pleasure.?The most pitia hie wretch on earth is a man of pleasure; a man who has nothing to do, or at least does nothing but enjoy himself and take life easy. That ease is the rust of the soul which dims its bright surface and corrodes its very substance. The most unhappy men we have ever known were those whom wealth (unfortunately for their own com? fort) exempted from the necessity of work? ing for themselves, who were too sordid to enjoy the divine pleasure of working for others. One of this class who had al? most princely riches, and spent thousands annually on fine fast horses, and the like, said to an intimate friend, "I am a wretch? ed man. My life is aimless." Another of the same class declared that, often when he had met a funeral, he had wished in his soul he could change places with the dead in the coffin. ?"Ma, if I should die and go to heaven, should I wear my moire-antique dress ?" "No, my love; wa can scarcely suppose we shall wear the attire of this world in the next." "Then, tell me, ma, how the angels would know I belonged to the best society V* , Washington, August 21.?A eira letter, issued from the War Departm includes the following extract from army appropriation bill, passed at the session of Congress : lie it enacted, T all militia forces now organized, or in vice, in either of the States of Virgi North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor Alabama, Mississippi and Texas, be fo with disbanded, and that the further gauization, arming or calling into sen the paid militia forces, or any part ther is hereby prohibited, under any eire stances whatever, until the same shall authorized by Congress. The publica! of this extract is intended as an explana! of the refusal of Secretary Schofield furnish arms to the militia of the South States, on applications of their Govern and for the information of the officer* the army now on duty at the South. Alluding to the militia in the South States, the New York 1'imcs says, edit ally, the case is made a good deal plai by the extract from the law, which Secretary of War introduces into his on By one of those unfortunate blund which have marred the progress of rec ^traction at almost every stage, the So is literally without a militia. Not o have the local governments no arms their use, but the supplying of arms the War Department is forbidden b; clause which, passed under different ? cumstancos, is yet unrepealed. Congn therefore, iu its haste to adjourn, did m than neglect the distribution of ar which a measure brought forward ai late day rightfully contemplated. It '. on the statute book a provision which strains the War Department from arm the militia, whatever the emergeucy. this extent, the reconstructed States powerless. Their authorities are p?raly: by an order which nothing less than action of Congress can set aside. Immigrant vs. Carpet-Bagger.?G difference of meaning betweon "im grant" and "carpet-bagger" is as wide the difference between one who arrives a country to fix his residence there, a one who comes into it for the purpose confiscating the silver spoons of ita habitants. The former is an "immigran the latter, however, is only a partial d nition of the "carpet-baggor." The word is a compound of "earp and "bagger." Its meaning is tho cc potent ol' two ideas. The first half, "c pet," suggests the idea of a "carpet-knigl ?a bloviunt swashbuckler of migl valorousncss in a drawing room, wh there aro no bellicose malo persons prose "Bag. n.?a sack or pouch to put ai thing in."
