perations of the agriculturist, he has been compensated with an abundant growth of green food for stock at a time when forage is scarce and unprecedentedly high. At no time in our experience has the earth borne a heavier crop of verdure than at this time, and it is indeed a Godsend. Nor will any serious injury result from any delay caused by that condition of the season so propitious to the grasses. Corn, in our genial climate, will mature in good time even when planted after the middle of June. So there need be no fears for that crop. On the other hand, both wheat and oats are looking admirably well, and the promise of an abundant crop was never better at this period of the year. The breadth of land occupied by the grain crops will be uncommonly large, and, though too early to speculate upon the yield, it is gratifying to behold the favorable condition of all growing crops at this time. The abundance of grass must have its effect in diminishing the demand for forage, and te

fore were they so inflated with gas and bombast — never so excessively rollicking and riotous in their precision of resplendent victories and a "crushed rebellion!" Even the "officers of Government," so often and so sorely tried in their labors of reforming broken and defeated armies, are said to have been "especially good natured" at the news of the crossing, and "seemed to think the people [Yankees] will take this as another proof of the determination and ability of our rulers [Lincoln and Seward] to push on rapidly toward Richmond." To assist in the advance the public were assured that Provost Marshal General Patrick was assiduously "repairing the road towards Richmond."-- A rather singular proceeding while the raiders were endeavoring to destroy the same road near Richmond itself! To cap the climax of this bombast, it is positively announced that Gen.

Hooker (search for this): article 3
How will the Yankees receive the news of the defeat of their great army under Hooker? Never before, if we may judge from their press, were they so jubilant with hope and expectation of a victory as they were when Hooker crossed the Rappahannock. Never before were they so inflated with gas and bombast — never so excessively rol itself! To cap the climax of this bombast, it is positively announced that Gen. Hooker remained behind at the crossing "to superintend the Cutting Loose of the Brillion and taking possession of all the wealth and good things of the South! In Hooker they beheld another Gideon, who was invincible. Puritanism thought he wielded re are you going?" by replying, "Back again!" was certainly one of their kith. Hooker might so reply.--He has certainly gone back again, whether he "cut the bridges" premature rejoicing, apparently cut off their own retreat, but we shall see them "go back" as easily as Hooker, and prepare probably for the eighth on to Richmond.

Another vessel Afloat. The London Shipping List gives a very circumstantial account of the sailing of the iron-clad Japan for China, and of her receiving her armament in a sort of creek or estuary on the French coast.

The Emperor of China seems to be a great friend of our's. He has vessels built and then gives them to us. --The Yankees will have to declare war against him!

The Yankees will close all the ship-yards against him.
Hays (search for this): article 5
Brigadier-General Hays. Up to the period of the capture of this Federal officer we never heard that there was any son of Richmond a traitor, fighting in the enemy's ranks, certainly not in any prominent position. He, it is said, is a native of this city. We suppose the statement is made on good authority; but it would be gratifying to see it denied. The record of Richmond in respect to the conduct of her sons in this war is very creditable, and it is unfortunate that it should be marredof the capture of this Federal officer we never heard that there was any son of Richmond a traitor, fighting in the enemy's ranks, certainly not in any prominent position.

that point. This account related more particularly to the part performed by the corps of Lieut-Gen. Jackson. Co-operating with this corps were the divisions commanded by Major-Gens. McLaws and Anderson, who held in check the enemy in front of Chancellorsville, and assisted in driving him from the position assumed on the old turnpike on Sunday. Capture of Marye's Heights. After this, these divisions were sent to aid Gen. Early, whose division was contending with the enemy, under Gen. Sedgwick, in the immediate front of Fredericksburg; they, as stated, having carried Marye's Heights on Sunday afternoon. On Monday morning these divisions took position on the right of the plank road, from which they moved on in the direction of Fredericksburg, and formed a junction with the left wing of Gen. Early, who had extended his right wing very near the Rappahannock, at a point about equidistant from the town and Banks's ford. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon of that day an attack was co

d to pass was of a soft, marshy character, covered with a less stubborn, but quite as dense growth of shrubbery as the higher grounds. As they pierced the wood land, and approached the cleared fields upon which were situated the successive lines of the enemy's works, a perfect storm of shell, grape, canister, and musketry was hurled upon them, and many a brave spirit sank at the bidding of the deadly messengers. On Saturday afternoon the work was begun, Jackson, with the divisions of A. P. Hill, Rhodes, and Trimble, having reached the enemy's rear. Their fleet serious of entrenchments was carried without such a resistance as indicated a very determined spirit on the part of the enemy; and indeed, if reports of those who participated be correct, the stubborn fighting of the enemy did not commence until Sunday morning, when they seemed to have acquired some knowledge of their situation.--Our gallant men, undaunted by the rugged face of the country, and undismayed by the shower of
