POETRY, i?P ? ? mei Gen. Robert E. Lee, tior The foliow*ng;poem was written by Capt, but Tito*, F. Roache, formerly of Loring'a com- ^ usn<l, A, V. T., on the occasion of General Lee*a visit to Baltimore in behalf of the Val- SlTI ley Rail Road. It speaks for itself, and we plo; venture tbe assertion that there is nut a true big man nor woman in the South who, alter read. ing it, will not say, "God bless thee, Robert w "" d" God blM, dbee, noble General. ^av God bless thee, Robert Lee, Oar Southern hearts throb warmly now, bis Ooee more we dr-am we're free; Onee more ear vivid fancy brings ?

Hurrah for General Lee. his AGRICULTURE. - me Why Farmers should be Thorough- het ly Organized. his The following we ezlraet from a very is ] able address delivered before the Mia- ant nesota Agricultural Society at the State Fair, September 80, 1869, by Col. D. A. Roberts, of St. Paul, Minnesota: B'pl i With the exception of husbandry, at very money-making interest, in this ^ oar age of money, is thoroughly organ- ^e' ixed, and ever ready for aggressive or tcr defensive action, as the occasion may require, whether in legislative halls, in s,l< boards of direction, or in the market ?01 plsoe. ' 'Our farmers are the most important ^ working population of the country and produce three-fourths of its productive stl( wealth. Out of their toil and products " re directly or indirectly obtained, most of the taxes and yet they are at the mercy of all other interests. A pro- jt jected measure that would transfer mil- ^ lions from the profits of agriculture into Tei other's bands may be resolved upon by ^ half a> dosen wealthy gentlemen, of ele- cot gant enterprise, seated in a private par- are lor or around a board of direction, with- >up out exciting any more eonocrn among ?"r onr farmers than if the subject matter related to China or Japan. fro The reason is our farming population Pe? are out up into isolated fragments, and l'1 are beaten ' in detail, in pontics and in pf( everything else; fuc Such facta as have been adduced ?e< how the importance and necessity of j"?J organized societies1 of farmers, and like the new order, patrons of husbandry, art with frequent meetings and wide cx- am Uodcd fraternity, for collecting and or disseminating valuable information, and ^' for. mutual instruction and defence.? Unlike the rural peasantry of Europe, ? our farmers own the land they cultivate. They are capitalists, freeholders, citisens and rulers of the state and nation- I)' They are, or ought to bo, men of thought, ' reading and usefhl knowledge, as well as of manual work. All other interests are armed and constantly on a war footing. Among the powerful nations of Europe, when one arms, all must arm. So it is in an communities. When every interest is cared for, when every interest is prepared for defence, all are cared for. Then there is justice, equity, peace and prosperity tfor all.?Maryland, Farmer. \ ' * Sti Beautiful and tjiue.?The Horti- 'ar oultural department of the Reconstructed Farmer is under the special editorial Soi oontrol of Dr. J.. B. Cheshire, from whose ealutatory in the first number, Se'| we make the following beautiful ex- pjr tract: ? If, then, wo wish to seo our Southern- g^ oountry arise out of her present de- ^ pressed condition and put on the beautiful garments of plenty and prosperity, r we must begin with a strong arm and u resolute heart to cultivate mother earth "I and make h-r brinir forth sill h<:r hid- ! , o 1 1,1 1 acn treasures. iiere >j the t.. ? ! lOn point for all true material advancement; I Cue is the foundation upon which all' 1 movement must rest. 1* very larr must consider it his special voca), not just to make cotton and corn, to bring around hiu? all the proits and improvements which will e variety aE well as profit to his cmyment, and educate himself in the hest branches of his noble profession, must not only have his broad acres oted to the main crop, but he must e his special acres for his orchard 1 bis vineyard, and the ground about dwelling made beautiful with ornaQtal trees, and shrubs and flowers.? must study the art and jn-actice tfco II, to make himself familiar with se things; and they will repay him opening to him a thousand sources ininnmaiili m' ir?h lio n >vf?r Irnow hfl.

The beautiful I the ornamental have a constant in jnce upon those who move among h scenes, to elevate and purify the id ; to make us less material, and re opon to the sway of those invisi powers that lie beyond the veil.? cy lea 1 us "through nature up to ore's God," and thus they arc ben:ial to soccity at lar^e, as well as the lividual cultivator. He who improves 1 beautifies his grounds, is improving 1 elevating the whole tone of society ; embellishes his <>wn estate, with the iitional satisfaction of knowing that is giving a new charnt to the life of fellow-men. The horticulturist who is new graces to the seen- ry and pt fruits to the food of men, is, in a asurc, improving the character, nnd dth, and happiness and long life of neighbors; and thus, in some degree, proving that be loves him as himself, i fulfils, thus, "the myal law " rhere was a curious bet made by two Icrs, daughtors of a wealthy farmer, a horse race in Dubukc last week.? 0 eldest bet on Wild Rose, the terms Dg that if she w?n, the youngest mf1 waste remain single f"r tho term of e mortal years; but that if she lust 3 must uiarry within four weeks a iing man of bet acquaint.' ncc.
