Our Flint Hill friend of turnip-seed fame tells us that he is now digging graves in 1 which to bury the general, but, brother, please remember that it ia always catching before hanging. | In the fifty odd summers that we hnve followed the plow, we never saw more, bolter, bigger, longer and stronger grass than Gold Hill ran r show right now. But, the sun is ; | shining once again, and if it will continue so for ten days ve will show the gentleman a thing or two.
