The Confederate Cromwell The following sketch of the great Confederate General Stonewall Jackson is given hy the New York correspondent of tho London Times : " The interest excited hy this strange man is as curious as it is unprecedented. A class-mate of McClellan's at West Point, and there considered slow and heavy, unfavorably known in Washington as a hypoeondriac and "maladic im- aginaire," ho has exhibited for the last ten months qualities which wore little supposed to reside in his rugged and unsoldierlike frame, but which will hand his name down to many a generation in the company of those great captains whom men will not willingly let die, Moro apt for the execution than conception of great movements, leaning upon General Lee as tho directing brain, and furnishing the promptest hand, the most dauntless heart, the most ascetic and rigorous self-denial, the greatest versatility and rapidity of movement as bis contribution towards the execution of General Lee's strategy, his operation in turning General Pope's right, and passing with a force believed not to exceed 30,000 men to the rear of sueh an army massed close to its base of operations, and in the act of receiving daily large reinforcements, command universal winder and admiration. Itis said that,like Hannibal, he is accustomed to live among his mon, without distinction of dress, without greater delicacy of fare, and that it is almost impossible, on this account, for a stranger to recognise or distinguish him among them. Every dispatch from his hand has, as its exor- ■ dram, "By tho blessing of God." Continual are the prayer meetings he holds among his men, invoking a blessing on his arms before the battle, and returning thanks for preservation, and, as it has rarely failed to happen, for victory after it is over. In fact, they who have seen and heard him uplift his voice in prayer and then have witnessed his vigor and prompt energy in the strile, say that once again Cromwell is walking the earth and leading hia trusting and enraptured hosts to assured victory, lt is not necessary to add, that Jackson's men idolize and trust their leader enthusiastically and have the most implicit faith in his conduct, otherwise the bold and daring public; that it has revived the Bastile that even Kapoleon dare not re-crcct, and deepened and widened restriction and monopoly, of which even despotism is ashamed ; that it is so utterly rickety and top-heavy that it cannot maintain its power and enforce its government except: by caricaturing all the expedients of legitimacy and aping all the methods of despotism; that, in a word, it could not exist a day, unless it were borne aloft upon the bayonets of conscripts, and sustained by the terrors of Fort Lafayette. The President is an usurper who has violated every principle of the Constitution and outraged every safeguard of citizenship. Tlie plea of necessity is simply that of every tyrant. If a Jiepublieeannot be sustained except by thc abrogation of every maxim of lie- publieanism, is tbat any more or less than Bomba said to Naples, the Czar to Poland, or Austria to Hungary? What is Butler but the Huynau ot the South? Or what are Soward and Stanton, but tbe Foucho or Antonelli ofthe West ?— This war has demoralised the Liberal press of England. To justify its friends, it has ignored its principles by casuistry the most shameless, ami inconsistency the most brazen. It has debauched the friends of peace, the enemies of slavery, the advocates of democracy. Under tne Ithuriel spear of stern realities, all their lofty theories of Eepublican perfectibility break under them : they prove utterly false to their own maxims, whenever they arc applied to their own friends. The truth is, the Federalists and their friends are beginning to quarrel among themselves. Tbe Democrats, cowed and conquered hy the election of a Eepublican Abolitionist to the Presidency, and by the adventitious dictatorship conceded to the Executive in thc extremity of the commonwealth, and strengthened by gigantic expenditure and vast armies now rind the myrmidons and Pretorians of the Eepublican party in office in incipient mutiny at bad generalship, a destitute commissariat, juggles about bounties and arrears of pay—and gather courage to creep out of their holes, and look the sun in the face. Loyal Unionists insist that Lincoln is a blockhead, and his generals nincompoops. Mass meetings in Philadelphia denounce the war, and a conflict ot jurisdiction between the Judges of Pennsylvania and the Supreim Government at Washington, has ended in the individual State forcibly assertiiv its sovereignty. When the leaders of the community abandon their function of watching over and jealously vindicating public right and liberty, or, worse still, are driven from their watchtowers hy the foul usurpation of a treasonable Government, there is uo other result to be looked for but that the mob, the jacquerie, the Bowery boys, the rowdyism of the country, will usurp their places, and utterly sweep away all who are better than themselves; and that to quell them, a Cromwell or a Bonaparte must be called in to wither the energies of the nation with the blast of a military despotism. Frankenstein Lincoln has raised such a hideous war monster, and ventured upon a course so desperate and seditious, that the conquest of the Federalists by tho Secessionists may actually turn out to be the only way by wbich public liberty can be recovered and power taken from the army to be restored to the constitutional authority of thc laws and the civil magistrate. The consummate discipline, the miraculous rapidity of movement, the elan, dash and soldierly resoluteness of the Confederate troops, show all tho faculty of the Old Guard, or our Peninsular army, whoso chief said they could go anywhere and do anything. Handled hy a military genius of the first order it is clear they could overrun the free States as easily as Napoleon flew over Europe. By the arrival of the Aftican mail steamer American at Liverpool, there has been brought to that port a fine male ppocimen of the gorrilla. lit* ap- flteps which be has frequently takcn,and pears quite decile, and amuses himself, in danci from which he has never failed to come' off triumphantly, would have been utter impossibilities." How to Cultivate Tobacco. Messrs. J. Stout and A. O. Peden, of Alamo, who grew a considerable quantity of tobacco last season with success, have contributed the following article to the Contra Costa Gazette: SOWING THK SPiED. Selectapiece of light, loamysoil, burn it well, rake off the ashes, and then dig up three inches deep. It should be pulverized fine, and all trash raked off.— When ready to sow, mix the seed with dry ashes—mix it well—one heaped table spoonful of seed to a milkpan of ashes. Sow that quantity on a bed one rod square, and tramplo the bed after Bowing. Tbat is all that is required to bo doue. Sow about the first of January. If the plants do not grow fast, and the ground becomes dry, water should bt sprinkled on the plant bed every even ing. SKTTINO OUT THE PLANTS. This should commence about the last week in April, and be finished about the middle of May. if possible, but it will make tobacco, if sot out as late as the middle of June. We did not finish until the 20th of June, but the tobacco was very light. We lind that the earliest plants make the best article of tobacco. Tho ground should be well cultivated before setting out, as there is more likelihood ofthe plants living. It should bc laid off very shallow, as deep furrows will cause the ground to dry out. Wo laid off with a rail with pins in it three feet apart, and that distance is enough. Wo did not water or cover our plants after they were set out, as we found by experiment that water was injurious. PRIMING. Priming, or taking off tbe bottom leaves, is the first thing that has to be done to tobacco. We took off' six or eight leaves, being governed by tlie kind of tobacco. We have six varieties— Virginia gold leaf, Cuba brittle stem, Havana broad leaf, Havana shoit leaf, Maryland straight, and ladies' finger, all cigar tobacco, except the Virginia and Maryland, TOPTTNU. We find for chewing tobacco, that ton leaves are enough to leave on a plant, and twelve or fourteen on cigar tobacco, at the first topping, and two less every time, it is gone over, say once a week. In both topping and suckering, tbe bud should be taken out as soon as possible, so as to throw all the sap into the leaves that aro left on the stalk. Great care should be taken not to bruise ortear the leaves, as it injures them very much.— There is a way to top tobacco without counting every leaf, which is a great saving of time, and tbis is of some im portance when help has to be hired- The way is, first ascertain where the bottom loaf is, and the ninth leaf will be found exactly perpendicular above it, and the next of course is tho tenth. The suckers should be kept off close, as, if allowed to grow to a great length, they will injure the plant. WORMS. Tho cut worm bothered us after the plant got started in the field. They will destroy one or more plants if not killed. The next is what is called the bud worm, which makes its appearance in the top of the plain. When first seen, it is very small. The tobacco worm made its appearance when the crop was about half grown, but did much damage. The grasshopper is very fond of tobacco, and when_numcrous tbey would damage it, as they aro very hard to kill. HARVESTING AND CURING. When the tobacco is thoroughly ripe, procure round-pointed shook-knives,split the stalk from the top to within four inches of thebottom leaf; wliere it should be cut off. Let it He in the field until wilted, so that the leaves will not break off the stock; then haul it to the barn on a sled, as it wiil bruise on a wagon. When at the barn, it should be hung as soon as possible on small poles or sticks, these hung on tier poles near together, say six inches apart. We run ours up to wdiere it now hangs in the barn after it w;ik hung on sticks, and let it yellow there. We find that the dry north wind will cure tobacco up green, before it (can yellow, if e: to it. That is ono thing that will prevent yellowing in tho field. The barn should be very tight, so as to prevent tim wind blowing in at the cracks, and curing the tobacco up green before it has time to yellow. It will not yellow as quick here as in the Atlantic States.— Some have supposed that tobacco could be thoroughly cured in this climate without firing, but we find that firing has to be done to prevent its spoiling when Congressional. Washington, Dec. 26.—A bill has been prepared by the Secretary of the Treasury, at the request ofthe Committee on Ways and Means, the first aection of which gives authority to raise 300,000,- 000 tor the service of the current year and Bis hundred millions for the service of the next fiscal year, and to raise moneys in any of tbe modes heretofore sanctioned by Congress, as the public exigencies may require. The bill includes un issue of G per cent, bonds, 7.30 bonds 7 per cent, bonds, or bonds bearing less interest, aud also the issue of small notes bearing 3 05 100 per cent, interest. The Secretary expresses a strong desire to have the limits as to the modes ol the provisions and amounts to be provided in each defined as precisely as possible by Congress. The remaining sec- tious of the bill authorize the formation of bunking associations, to issue notes furnished by the United StateB, alike in form, secured alike by United States bonds, but payable on demaud, primarily, hy the issuing of associations bills, in the main feature****, the same as introduced by Representative Hooper, at last session. Secretary ex presses his profound sense of the importance of this measure to the negotiation of loans, to the collection of interior revenues, and lhe security uf the people against the evils of an enormous aud irrc deeuiablc paper money circulation.

Cairo, Dec. 27.—We have information, to-day that trains are running between JacksonJand Tren ton. There are 7,000 troops at the Utter place, and a rumor tp in circulation that Grant has fallen back across the Tallahatchie, but il is not traceable to n. reliable source. But little is known in regard to the movements of the guerrillas in northwestern Tennessee, lor the lust two days. They seem lo be pretty much ut home, and manifest no anxiety about getting away. A great many bridges ou the Mobile and Ohio railroad bave been burned. The greatest damage is on the Obion river bottom, where two long bridges have been destroyed, and two miles of trestle work at Middleburg. Louisvillb, Dec. 27.—Johu Morgan, with abont 3.000 Cavalry, entered Glasgow ou Wenesday.— Toree Compauies of Federal Cavalry opposed him, but fell buck on Munfordsville, losing oue captain, and two privates. The Rebels lost two captions and privates, besides several prisoners. The rebels appeared in the vicinity of Cave City, where they were attacked by the Federals under Gray and Shanks. At lost accounts the Federal had driven them olt, killing one and captur sixteen. A train of ammunition, which left here yesi day, wns compelled to return, having been I: into near Nolan's Station.

Dec. 29.—The Time's Washington dispatch says that Stuart's Rebel cavalry got entirely around Burnside's army on Saturday, having Dumfries in their possession during the morning. It is Mated that the Federals under Col. •Canby having no pickets on', were surprised in the night and captued. Nothing is known positively at, to tlieir Iocs. The 17th Pennsylvania cavalry waB roughly handled, aiid withdraw iu considerable haste. Fifteen wagons containing the regimental properly, fell iuto the hands of the enemy on Saturday night. TlM.se marauders were in posses. eion of Oecoquau yesterday mcrning. Tbey were •withiu a k miles of Fort Lyon. We also learned tbat they captured four gun batteries at Dumfries- It is also stated that at Oecoquau they fell in with a detachment of the 22d Pennsylvania: a fight ensued, iu which 20 Federals were killed and wounded and the -balance captured. An official dispatch Btate-s that Rebels numbering 1,500 attacked Dumfries, but were driven off with loee. Tbe firing to-day in the direction of Occoqnan was probably caused by the enemy'e cavalry falling ia wilh Gt.n.

Our tobaooo'has not come in case since it was fired so that it can be handled ; therefore, we cannot tell how much one acre will produce. It will require one man to about four acres of ground, and that we find is as much as he can attend to and do it justice. Dec. 28.—Notwithstanding the presence of our gunboats in the Rappahannock, the enemy has of late procured large supplies of cattle and hogs from the peninsular counties. Last week Gen, Pleasanton captured 150 head of cattle which were on tbe way from Leeds. Advices from Richmond state tbat the iron-clad gunboat Richmond makes daily trips to Drurj't Bluff. The latest reliable intelligence relating to the Rebel army on onr front is, that they have massed their forces on both sides of the railroad from I' dericksburg to below Guinness station. Track lor 'wo miles south of Fredericksburg has been torn up, tbe rails being used for turn-outs at tbe present terminus. On Tuesday last a brigade of Rebel cavalry were fitted out with rations aud forage for several days and revolvers distri buted to the meu. near Guinness station. It was believed that tbe destination was King George county, by way of Port Royal. I>H..

I860- of the best Retail, on It was left for Sheridan to stay the hitherto sue- cessful onset of the foe, and never did man labor more faili;!nl y to pel form ibis task, aud never w»h leader seconded by more gallant soldiers. His division formed a kind of pivot, upon which tlie bro ken light mag turned in its Bight. Ils condition cau on y be imagined, when the Uight of Davis' division left It without protection Irom the enemv, who now swarmed upon its front and tight Hank, but it fought until one fourth of" its number lay bleeding. Then it gave way, aod the retteat soon grew loa rout, only ler-s complete li:un lhat of Johnson's and Davis, All their divisions wore now buried back together into immense ravines aod cedar thickets. Biigades after brigades, battery after battery were sent into the thickets to cheek tbc progress of the * ''' ... ■ \ tl auiJiig ihem. It was a shout, a charge, a ru>b of fire, and theu the thunder of butteries burst (orth from the cloud. Where our batteries advanced tbey found no rebels between the woods and the turnpike, except tbe dead and dying. There were hundreds of them, aod their blood reddened the ground. Since the annihilation of lhe Old Guard at Waterloo, probably there has not been au instance of so great slaughter iu so short a time as during these repulses. Tbe rebels left, thoroughly repult-ed, and our troops emboldeued by success, pursued them, driving lbem back over the ground we first occupied- Our artillery sounded farther aud luilher off, ue the batleiies moved ou aTler the retreating loe. Ii was near four o'clock when Hardee was repulsed, anil all danger in that quarter was over. He had defeated tbe right, but gained DO thing on the rear, While thu battle raged on the right, Puiiner'e bat- tery kept up a fire ou tbe rebel lines at Kerr and Harfeeesburo, la order to prevent an advance (rom lhat quarter. A division of the rebel Gen. With- ets happened to be In range of theae canuou ; at every discharge, Withers meu bit the dust. He ordered a charge. His men advanced, but their impeluosiiy was of no avail agaiust our men that Stood in their way. There was now a lull in the atorm. but the rebel leaders were preparing for a blow ou our centre.— Ati tbeir re.-ei vet were brought up, wilh Polk aud Bragg at ihe head of their columns. A fierce cannonading up the turnpike told of its coming. It came on iu magnificent order, aud stretched away diagonally ucir.s.s the field. At Mjllicieiit intervals another deployed inlo tbe opeu yruund parallel with the first. Ere tbe forward battalions were engaged, the third liue battalions came forth, and it seemed as ttioUiill our feeble troops id tbat direction must be crushed Iiy the weight o! these advancing masses. But llusecrauz had detected the rebel designs even before their trout line had appealed iu view. The least exhausted troops of the left and centre were hurried forward iu double quick time to combat ibis uew ctlbrt of tbe enemy, und evtii from ilie extreme lell a brigade was brought over to lake part iu the defence. Tiie te- belfl*rushed up to the very inuzzbs of our cannon und hurled their muskets at tlie very beads ot our artillerymen, and even shouted like demons when their hearts were pierced with bullets aud tumbling to the earth while trying lo take another step iu advance. The same formidable array ol batteries and battalions aj^aiu confronted Ihe loe as that upon which tbe violence of Hardee's force had spent itself. Similar results followed. A sheet of lire leaped forth from eacb opposite liue, and lor a few moments both armies stood like walls of t.ione. discharging tueir inuskele into each other's bosoms. Then tbe rebels retry tbe charge, but lbe siui tn of lead und irou had burst into their faces and uil uroniid them, sweeping them down. If once the soldiers of the Union army wavered before this fierce onset, it was ouly for a moment. In forty minutes from tlte time the first rebel line moved forth, their lines weie dashed to pieces and the survivors of (he conflict were fleeing in wild confusion over the lield, aud disappearing in lbe dense wood. Tbe battle was not over until early the ne: morning. The rebels continued to lire canuou froi lhe direciioti of Mui lieesbnro, as though it was an angry protest against their repulse. When ih ceased, all was over. CUme oi Mu; Landon Kxtiiijiton. The International Exhibition atoned Nov. 1. The numbers were large for a half crown day, being upwards of 38,O0<>.

The pertormauce was encored ; and after that the moieco-inupoliun members of tbe audience called for *Tunant pour It Syrle," which was giveu wilh hearty good will ; theogb as soon as it waa over, national feeling resumed its sway, and there was a geueral call for '■ Rule Britauia."

Tlie history oftlie conflict in these cedar thickets will never be known. No man could see his regiment, uo one will ever be able to tell who fought bravely, or who proved recreani to their trust. In Spite of ttie awful s.ieiibce o( life ou the part of the Union iiriny, the rebels pushed onward two and a half miles, 'lhe right wing of our army had been driven in, aid laintuess of heart came over me as the destruction of lhe whole army seemed to stare us in the lace. Bul the flat went forth from Roeectaiiz, and the flower of the lelt wing and centre hurried over toward the right, massed in rank behind rank, in imposing grandeur. The scene at tliis lime was grand and awlul. Each m.tiuie it became more plain that the reinforcements had been inadequate to the task, and had been overthrown by the disorder in the woods. The roar of cannon, crashing of shot, whistling of shell, aiid the rattle of 40,000 muskets, sounded as though ihe thunder of 1h--(y*_ii bud been lol.ed together. Above all, could be heard tbe wild cheers of the lebels, as body after body of eUE troops gave way- Immense trains of wagons were hurried pell mell away, and the shouts of the leaui- stei's were mingled with the sounds which swayed and surged over the lield. Everything now depended upon the regiments and batteries which the genius of Ruseerauz had massed along lhe turnpike lo receive the enemy, when he should emerge from lbe woods in pursuit of oui broken ranks. Suddenly, 10,000 fugitives burst from cedar thickets and rushed iuto the open space between them aud the turnpike. Scores were shot down, but siill the numbers increused. With culm courage, Gen. Crittenden awaited ibe coming storm. At last, the liuesol the euemy broke from the woods with yells, intending to strike terror to the souls o1 the Yankees who stood before them. They charged wiili fearful energy to tbe muzzle of the cannon yawning belore them. A dealing sheet of dime burflt from the ranks of the Union forces. Au awful noise shook the earth to its centre, and the foremost rank bit lhe dust and were literally swept from the earth, and seemed to mell like snow, aud both armies then were enveloped in a vast cloud of smoke. Thc flight of the wagons became more rapid, lhou sands of fugitives mingled with the teamsters. Every form of missile whistling and bursting among the crowd, aud disorder rcigued supreme. » Francisco January 9th—Nashville January In view of Jeff.

The Confederate Cromwell
The following sketch of the great
Confederate General Stonewall Jackson
is given hy the New York correspondent of tho London Times :
" The interest excited hy this strange
man is as curious as it is unprecedented.
A class-mate of McClellan's at West
Point, and there considered slow and
heavy, unfavorably known in Washington as a hypoeondriac and "maladic im-
aginaire," ho has exhibited for the last
ten months qualities which wore little
supposed to reside in his rugged and
unsoldierlike frame, but which will hand
his name down to many a generation in
the company of those great captains
whom men will not willingly let die,
Moro apt for the execution than conception of great movements, leaning upon
General Lee as tho directing brain, and
furnishing the promptest hand, the most
dauntless heart, the most ascetic and
rigorous self-denial, the greatest versatility and rapidity of movement as bis
contribution towards the execution of
General Lee's strategy, his operation in
turning General Pope's right, and passing with a force believed not to exceed
30,000 men to the rear of sueh an army
massed close to its base of operations,
and in the act of receiving daily large
reinforcements, command universal winder and admiration. Itis said that,like
Hannibal, he is accustomed to live
among his mon, without distinction of
dress, without greater delicacy of fare,
and that it is almost impossible, on this
account, for a stranger to recognise or
distinguish him among them. Every
dispatch from his hand has, as its exor-
■ dram, "By tho blessing of God." Continual are the prayer meetings he holds
among his men, invoking a blessing on
his arms before the battle, and returning
thanks for preservation, and, as it has
rarely failed to happen, for victory after
it is over. In fact, they who have seen
and heard him uplift his voice in prayer
and then have witnessed his vigor and
prompt energy in the strile, say that
once again Cromwell is walking the earth
and leading hia trusting and enraptured
hosts to assured victory, lt is not necessary to add, that Jackson's men idolize and trust their leader enthusiastically
and have the most implicit faith in his
conduct, otherwise the bold and daring
public; that it has revived the Bastile
that even Kapoleon dare not re-crcct,
and deepened and widened restriction
and monopoly, of which even despotism
is ashamed ; that it is so utterly rickety
and top-heavy that it cannot maintain
its power and enforce its government
except: by caricaturing all the expedients
of legitimacy and aping all the methods
of despotism; that, in a word, it could
not exist a day, unless it were borne
aloft upon the bayonets of conscripts,
and sustained by the terrors of Fort
Lafayette. The President is an usurper
who has violated every principle of the
Constitution and outraged every safeguard of citizenship. Tlie plea of necessity is simply that of every tyrant. If
a Jiepublieeannot be sustained except by
thc abrogation of every maxim of lie-
publieanism, is tbat any more or less
than Bomba said to Naples, the Czar to
Poland, or Austria to Hungary? What
is Butler but the Huynau ot the South?
Or what are Soward and Stanton, but
tbe Foucho or Antonelli ofthe West ?—
This war has demoralised the Liberal
press of England. To justify its friends,
it has ignored its principles by casuistry
the most shameless, ami inconsistency
the most brazen. It has debauched the
friends of peace, the enemies of slavery,
the advocates of democracy. Under tne
Ithuriel spear of stern realities, all their
lofty theories of Eepublican perfectibility break under them : they prove utterly
false to their own maxims, whenever
they arc applied to their own friends.
The truth is, the Federalists and their
friends are beginning to quarrel among
themselves. Tbe Democrats, cowed and
conquered hy the election of a Eepublican Abolitionist to the Presidency, and
by the adventitious dictatorship conceded to the Executive in thc extremity of
the commonwealth, and strengthened
by gigantic expenditure and vast armies
now rind the myrmidons and Pretorians
of the Eepublican party in office in incipient mutiny at bad generalship, a destitute commissariat, juggles about bounties and arrears of pay—and gather
courage to creep out of their holes, and
look the sun in the face. Loyal Unionists
insist that Lincoln is a blockhead, and
his generals nincompoops. Mass meetings in Philadelphia denounce the war,
and a conflict ot jurisdiction between the
Judges of Pennsylvania and the Supreim
Government at Washington, has ended
in the individual State forcibly assertiiv
its sovereignty.
When the leaders of the community
abandon their function of watching over
and jealously vindicating public right
and liberty, or, worse still, are driven
from their watchtowers hy the foul
usurpation of a treasonable Government,
there is uo other result to be looked for
but that the mob, the jacquerie, the Bowery boys, the rowdyism of the country,
will usurp their places, and utterly sweep
away all who are better than themselves;
and that to quell them, a Cromwell or a
Bonaparte must be called in to wither
the energies of the nation with the blast
of a military despotism. Frankenstein
Lincoln has raised such a hideous war
monster, and ventured upon a course so
desperate and seditious, that the conquest
of the Federalists by tho Secessionists
may actually turn out to be the only way
by wbich public liberty can be recovered
and power taken from the army to be
restored to the constitutional authority
of thc laws and the civil magistrate. The
consummate discipline, the miraculous
rapidity of movement, the elan, dash and
soldierly resoluteness of the Confederate
troops, show all tho faculty of the Old
Guard, or our Peninsular army, whoso
chief said they could go anywhere and
do anything. Handled hy a military
genius of the first order it is clear they
could overrun the free States as easily
as Napoleon flew over Europe.
By the arrival of the Aftican mail steamer American at Liverpool, there has been brought to that
port a fine male ppocimen of the gorrilla. lit* ap-
flteps which be has frequently takcn,and pears quite decile, and amuses himself, in danci

How to Cultivate Tobacco.
Messrs. J. Stout and A. O. Peden, of
Alamo, who grew a considerable quantity of tobacco last season with success,
have contributed the following article
to the Contra Costa Gazette:
SOWING THK SPiED.
Selectapiece of light, loamysoil, burn
it well, rake off the ashes, and then dig
up three inches deep. It should be pulverized fine, and all trash raked off.—
When ready to sow, mix the seed with
dry ashes—mix it well—one heaped table spoonful of seed to a milkpan of
ashes. Sow that quantity on a bed one
rod square, and tramplo the bed after
Bowing. Tbat is all that is required to
bo doue. Sow about the first of January.
If the plants do not grow fast, and the
ground becomes dry, water should bt
sprinkled on the plant bed every even
ing.
SKTTINO OUT THE PLANTS.
This should commence about the last
week in April, and be finished about the
middle of May. if possible, but it will
make tobacco, if sot out as late as the
middle of June. We did not finish until
the 20th of June, but the tobacco was
very light. We lind that the earliest
plants make the best article of tobacco.
Tho ground should be well cultivated
before setting out, as there is more likelihood ofthe plants living. It should bc
laid off very shallow, as deep furrows
will cause the ground to dry out. Wo
laid off with a rail with pins in it three
feet apart, and that distance is enough.
Wo did not water or cover our plants
after they were set out, as we found by
experiment that water was injurious.
PRIMING.
Priming, or taking off tbe bottom
leaves, is the first thing that has to be
done to tobacco. We took off' six or
eight leaves, being governed by tlie kind
of tobacco. We have six varieties—
Virginia gold leaf, Cuba brittle stem,
Havana broad leaf, Havana shoit leaf,
Maryland straight, and ladies' finger, all
cigar tobacco, except the Virginia and
Maryland,
TOPTTNU.
We find for chewing tobacco, that ton
leaves are enough to leave on a plant,
and twelve or fourteen on cigar tobacco,
at the first topping, and two less every
time, it is gone over, say once a week.
In both topping and suckering, tbe bud
should be taken out as soon as possible,
so as to throw all the sap into the leaves
that aro left on the stalk. Great care
should be taken not to bruise ortear the
leaves, as it injures them very much.—
There is a way to top tobacco without
counting every leaf, which is a great
saving of time, and tbis is of some im
portance when help has to be hired- The
way is, first ascertain where the bottom
loaf is, and the ninth leaf will be found
exactly perpendicular above it, and the
next of course is tho tenth. The suckers
should be kept off close, as, if allowed
to grow to a great length, they will injure the plant.
WORMS.
Tho cut worm bothered us after the
plant got started in the field. They will
destroy one or more plants if not killed.
The next is what is called the bud worm,
which makes its appearance in the top
of the plain. When first seen, it is very
small. The tobacco worm made its appearance when the crop was about half
grown, but did much damage. The
grasshopper is very fond of tobacco, and
when_numcrous tbey would damage it,
as they aro very hard to kill.
HARVESTING AND CURING.
When the tobacco is thoroughly ripe,
procure round-pointed shook-knives,split
the stalk from the top to within four
inches of thebottom leaf; wliere it should
be cut off. Let it He in the field until
wilted, so that the leaves will not break
off the stock; then haul it to the barn
on a sled, as it wiil bruise on a wagon.
When at the barn, it should be hung as
soon as possible on small poles or sticks,
these hung on tier poles near together,
say six inches apart.
We run ours up to wdiere it now hangs
in the barn after it w;ik hung on sticks,
and let it yellow there. We find that
the dry north wind will cure tobacco up
green, before it (can yellow, if e:
to it. That is ono thing that will prevent yellowing in tho field. The barn
should be very tight, so as to prevent
tim wind blowing in at the cracks, and
curing the tobacco up green before it has
time to yellow. It will not yellow as
quick here as in the Atlantic States.—
Some have supposed that tobacco could
be thoroughly cured in this climate without firing, but we find that firing has to
be done to prevent its spoiling when
Congressional.
Washington, Dec. 26.—A bill has been prepared by the Secretary of the Treasury, at the request
ofthe Committee on Ways and Means, the first
aection of which gives authority to raise 300,000,-
000 tor the service of the current year and Bis
hundred millions for the service of the next fiscal
year, and to raise moneys in any of tbe modes
heretofore sanctioned by Congress, as the public exigencies may require. The bill includes un issue
of G per cent, bonds, 7.30 bonds 7 per cent, bonds,
or bonds bearing less interest, aud also the issue of
small notes bearing 3 05 100 per cent, interest.
The Secretary expresses a strong desire to have
the limits as to the modes ol the provisions and
amounts to be provided in each defined as precisely as possible by Congress. The remaining sec-
tious of the bill authorize the formation of bunking associations, to issue notes furnished by the
United StateB, alike in form, secured alike by
United States bonds, but payable on demaud, primarily, hy the issuing of associations bills, in the
main feature****, the same as introduced by Representative Hooper, at last session. Secretary ex
presses his profound sense of the importance of this
measure to the negotiation of loans, to the collection of interior revenues, and lhe security uf the
people against the evils of an enormous aud irrc
deeuiablc paper money circulation.

Cairo, Dec. 27.—We have information, to-day
that trains are running between JacksonJand Tren
ton. There are 7,000 troops at the Utter place,
and a rumor tp in circulation that Grant has fallen
back across the Tallahatchie, but il is not traceable
to n. reliable source.
But little is known in regard to the movements
of the guerrillas in northwestern Tennessee, lor
the lust two days. They seem lo be pretty much
ut home, and manifest no anxiety about getting
away. A great many bridges ou the Mobile and
Ohio railroad bave been burned. The greatest
damage is on the Obion river bottom, where two
long bridges have been destroyed, and two miles
of trestle work at Middleburg.
Louisvillb, Dec. 27.—Johu Morgan, with abont
3.000 Cavalry, entered Glasgow ou Wenesday.—
Toree Compauies of Federal Cavalry opposed him,
but fell buck on Munfordsville, losing oue captain,
and two privates. The Rebels lost two captions
and privates, besides several prisoners.
The rebels appeared in the vicinity of Cave City,
where they were attacked by the Federals under
Gray and Shanks. At lost accounts the Federal
had driven them olt, killing one and captur
sixteen.
A train of ammunition, which left here yesi

New YoltK. Dec. 29.—The Time's Washington
dispatch says that Stuart's Rebel cavalry got entirely around Burnside's army on Saturday, having Dumfries in their possession during the morning. It is Mated that the Federals under Col.
•Canby having no pickets on', were surprised in the
night and captued. Nothing is known positively
at, to tlieir Iocs. The 17th Pennsylvania cavalry
waB roughly handled, aiid withdraw iu considerable haste. Fifteen wagons containing the regimental properly, fell iuto the hands of the enemy on
Saturday night. TlM.se marauders were in posses.

tbat they captured four gun batteries at Dumfries-
It is also stated that at Oecoquau they fell in with
a detachment of the 22d Pennsylvania: a fight
ensued, iu which 20 Federals were killed and
wounded and the -balance captured.
An official dispatch Btate-s that Rebels numbering 1,500 attacked Dumfries, but were driven off

Dec. 28.—Notwithstanding the presence of our
gunboats in the Rappahannock, the enemy has of
late procured large supplies of cattle and hogs
from the peninsular counties. Last week Gen,
Pleasanton captured 150 head of cattle which were
on tbe way from Leeds.
Advices from Richmond state tbat the iron-clad
gunboat Richmond makes daily trips to Drurj't
Bluff.
The latest reliable intelligence relating to the
Rebel army on onr front is, that they have massed
their forces on both sides of the railroad from I'
dericksburg to below Guinness station. Track lor
'wo miles south of Fredericksburg has been torn
up, tbe rails being used for turn-outs at tbe present terminus. On Tuesday last a brigade of Rebel
cavalry were fitted out with rations aud forage for
several days and revolvers distri buted to the meu.
near Guinness station. It was believed that tbe
destination was King George county, by way of
