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

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

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.

•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

ia yet very young, only slightly covered wilh hair.
He is remarkably fond of good living, and appears
to have an especial relish for beefsteak, nmttoi

unlike the generally-entertained opinion, is not
fierce or repulsive-looking, although the jaws are
both broad and heavy, This is tha only live specU
ment ofthe gorrilla, wo believe, ever brought to
the countrv.
Intelligence Irom Aquia Creek to-day state that
about 4,000 Rebel cavalry wit[j 4 guns made
attack ou four regiments ot Sigel's infantry at
Dumfries, yesterday. The contest lasted until
dark, aad was renewed this morning. Tne cannonading is heavy. The telegraph ceased to work
yesterday, and up to 4 o'clock this afternoon
official intelligence in regard to the result has been
received here.

be handled ; therefore, we cannot tell
how much one acre will produce. It
will require one man to about four acres

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

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.

The International   Exhibition atoned Nov. 1.	
The numbers were large for a half crown day,
being upwards of 38,O0<>. Of course Uie; bore no
proportion to the numbers on lhe last day of the
Exhibition of 1851 ; and rt was. perhaps, unfortunate that the lust day should have bee* thrown
upou one of ibe hggh prjced d .ys, when ouly the
fashionable visitors are expect.*.! to aiMul. Altogether lhe numbers througliout the year wero
(i.110 000 ; which, cousulerim; iloii it wns open foi*
a fortnight longer than in 1&.1, presents the Comparatively trilling addition 77.DUO visitors over
lhe earlier e.\hibiti<.,i. But, on the mh.T hand, the
present year has bad obstacles to couieud with of
which tbe earlier year knew noilnu^. and which
would have crushed any instiiuUou wiih less vitality in   it
The receipts at the doors have been somewhat
over £360,006,and the Sale of Season tickets about
-C72.f)00. Although the number ol vi-hi tors shows a
slight increase as compared with 1861, the recelptx.
will not show a corresponding increase, whilst lho
expenses will be enormously larger tbuu Ihey wero
at tbe last Inhibition.
Id the earlier part oftbe day there was little to
indicate the close of (be show. Exactly as the
clock struck four in the afleruoon, all tbe organs
in the baMdfng poured forth ihe wellknor/u notes
of the National Anthem. Iu the western portion
tbe orgaps were accompanied by about 400 local
perfumers ofthe Sacred Harmonic Society, and tha
choruses bere were also joined in by the great
body of those present. 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." The police began to clear
the building, and tbere Seemed a general desire on
the part of each visitor to le the very last iu the
building, and tbey moved out slowly ; but soon
alter 6 o'clock the hall was wholly cleared and the
Exhibition, as an Exhibition, was at an end. It

either crushed out right by the flying crowd ut* bio

fusion, flight, or compelled to extract themselves.
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.
