THE FARMER'S GUIDE.
" 'Tis folly in the extreme to till
Extensive fields and till them ill.
The farmer, pleased, may boast aloud
Hia bushels sown, his acres plowed.
And, pleased, indulge the cheering hope
, That time will bring a plenteooa crop,
Shrewd common-sense sita laughing by,
And sees his hopes abortive die,
For, when maturing seasons smile, '
Thin sheaves shall disappoint his toil.
Advised, the empty pride dispel,
Till little and that little well.
Of taxing, fencing, toil, no more
. Your ground requires when rich than poor
And more one fertile acre yields
Than the huge breadth of barren fields.
"Neat be your farm: 'tis long confessed
' 'The neatest farmers arc the best.
Each bog and marsh industrious drain,
Nor let vile balks deform the plain, - .,.
No bushes on your headlands grow,
. No briars a sloven's culture ahow.
Neat be your barns, yonr houses neaL
, ; Yourdoorsbeclean.yourconrt-yardsswMt;
. as moss ine sneltenng root enshroud,
No wooden panes the windows cloud,
No filthy kennels foully flow,
No weeds with rankling poison grow ; -
But shades expand, and fruit trees bloom,
And flowering shrubs exhale perfume.
With pales your garden circle round;
Defend, enrich and clean the ground ;
Prize high this pleasing, useful rood,
And fill with vegetable good.
"Let order o'er your time preside,
And method all yonr business guide. "
Early begin and end your toil, ..
Nor let great tasks your hands embroil ;
' One thins; at once be still begun,
Contrived, resolved, pursued and done.
- Hire not for what yourselves can do,
And send not when yourselves can go ;
Nor till to-morrow's light delay" '
What might as well be done to-day..
; j By steady efforts all men thrive,'
And long by moderate labor live ;
While eager toil and anxions care - :
, Health, strength, acd peace, and life impair.
"Nor thine a life of toil severe ;
No life has blessings bo sincere.
Its meals so luscious, sleep so sweet,
, , Such vigorous limbs, such health complete,
-ar :j .1 1 j . r : .
at u uiiuu. so acuve, orisa ana gay, v
As his who toils the livelong day.
A 1 f- of sloth drags hardly on ;
: 8ut4t set too lar and rise too soon.
Youth, inanh '. age, all li- ger slow
To him who noting bath to do. .
The drone, a nuisance to the hive, -Stays,
but can scarce be said to live ;
And well the bees, those judges wise, .
Plague, chase and sting him till he dies.
From the Hancock Jeffersonian.
BIOGRAPHICAL.
A Brief Sketch the Military Services of
"Gen." Ben. Le Fever, Democratic Candidate
for Secretary of State.
It is customary, whenever an individual
becomes greatr whether the greatness be
thrust upon him or otherwise obtained
for some admirer to assume the character
of biographer, and pay a fitting tribute to
his deeds of merit, and thus perpetuate
his memory. Having some little knowl
edge of the person whoso name graces tb.e
head of this sketch, and having received
a number of items' of intense interest from
a friend who vies with ns in our admira
tion "of his many qualities, and, as many
of his former comrades reside in this vi-
. cinity, we thought proper to play the role
of historian and herald his name in such
a. manner as will be sounded from poll to
poll.
The items relating to his active service
were given us by an enlisted soldier in the
99th 0. V. I,j who w;as with the command
during the entire term of service, and who
tells us that the truth of every statement
will be vouched for by nearly all the om
cers and soldiers of the regiment
Ben. Le Fever first commenced his mil
itary career by joining an infantry squad
known as "Fremont's Body Guard"
not Zsigonyi's which was to be composed
entirely of sons of "first families,' as a
private, under the promise of a Lieuteu-
ancy. 1 his organization was ephemeral
and its members were soon scattered
among various other regiments, or return
ed to their homes. Ben. was commission
ed as adjutant but never had command of
a company. In about four months after
the regiment went to the field, it was en
gaged in the sanguinary battle of Stone
River. L: p to this time Ben., the Adjutant,
had done nothing remarkable. But on
that memorial Friday, Jan. 2d, '63, he did
signalize himself. I he regiment was
placed in an exposed position across the
river and when the hour of. severest trial
came, and our forces were falling back,
having in view the fact that his life was
precious both to himself and friends, Ben.
commenced a hasty retreat . Hereis one
of the best instances on record of a "re
treat in good order." He had gone but a
few rods, when he threw away a splendid
heavy -over-coat which materially imped
ed his progress, and with renewed vigor,
again broke for the rear. Soon, finding
his heavy cavalry boots a burden, he
sprang behind a large tree and shed them,
and made the balance of the distance to
the hospital some two miles in his
stockings. The energy displayed on this
occasion claims our admiration as one of
the attributes and characteristics of a "life
long Democrat"
Being bootless, he made application for
a pair of army shoes to our informant, who
purchased them of a fellow soldier and
paid for them himself. Ben., however,
subsequently paid the debt; when dunned
for it at Camp Dennison.
As showing the privations' he endured,
we will state that lie remained in the bos
pital that night, while his comrades lay
scattered aoout in the mud and rain on
the battle-field !
After the departure of the rebels our
troops encamped near Murfresboro to ob
tain rest . In consideration of the bravery
and presence of mind of the Adjutant,
Ben., the chaplain at once made an effort
for his promotion. ' Notwithstanding the
previous resignation of cowardly, rebel
sympathizing officers and the loss of those
noble ones who fell on that field, there
were still with the regiment two efficient
captains as originally organized. Major
Day resigned, and this was made at onoe
the occasion of an effort as' above stated,,
to reward Adjutant Beu. for his bravery,
by promoting him over the heads of two
captains. The first movement was to pro
euro signatures to the petition. Colonel
Swayne was absent, and Lt CoL Cum
mins would not give his signature to such
a base proceeding, and the Chaplain was
obliged to go from Brigade Headquarters
to that of Gen. Rosecrans, and succeeded
in getting the different commanders to
sign his paper, ihis document, not sign
ed by a single officer of his regiment be
ing promptly forwarded to Columbus,
procured him his commission.
. "Maj." Ben. soon sought detail away
from his command, and avoided duty, un
til after the battle of Chichamauga, in
Sept 1SC3. He then rejoined his regi
ment and remained with them during six
months of "camp life," but as soon as the
roar of cannons could bo heard in the dis
tance, upon the opening 'of the great
Atlanta campaign, he was taken sick,
and was sent to his favorite posi
tion the rear. Finding that he could
I
I
secure a safe jwsition on Courts Martial,
his sickness was unattended by any fatal
symptoms, and he soon recovered. He
now spent the time very pleasantly and
with profit to the government, as he filled
the place of some men, who, in all human
probability, possessed a larger share of
that element known by phrenologists as
"combativeness" than himself. Conse
quently, did Major Ben. never, during all
those long months of siege and carnage,
show himself at the front
As our armies were marching back
north from Atlanta, he made his appear
ance at Rome, Ga., and in an hour was
off. again on the cars, having succeeded in
procuring a pass, by solemnly promising
to rejoin the regiment at Chattanooga, to
which point the troops were en-route by
rapid marches. The regiment was engag
ed in the battle of Nashville,. but no Maj
or Ben. showed his face, and therefore
could boast that he did not show the ene
my his back. Once, or more, on the At
lantic campaign, owing to sickness of the
Colonel and Lieut ColoneL the command
devolved on the ranking Captain, the Ma
jor lurking in the rear. After the regi
ment was transferred to North Carolina,
and the war was ended, a vacancy occur
red In the regiment, which made room for
a promotion to a Lieut' Colonelcy, and
Major Ben. having been duly apprised of
his chances, had taken such steps as in
sured the wished tut honor. Some time
after the commission had reached the com
mand, the "Bummer" made his appear
ance. During the interval between the
promotion of Lieut Col. Cummins, .and
the arrival at the front of his commission,
and the aspirant from the far-away rear,
steps had been taken by the officers of the
regiment to prevent any further promotion
of the "gallant" Ben. and his commission
was revoked, and another worthier, though
beneath him in rank, was promoted to
fill the vacancy over the head of Major
Ben. - It appears that he did not altogeth
er relish this ungrateful treatment,'' for he '
again left his regiment, and while staying
at Salisbury, N. C, he did not stay with
his command, but sought more congenial
friends. He boarded with the rebel Ma
jor Meyrs, the eonimisary who starved our
prisoners, and the rebel General Bradley
Johnson, (who dragged the Stars and
Stripes at the heels of his horse, through
the streets of Fredrick city) was his boon
companion.
Here ends the history of that "brilliant"
military career a coward in the first fight,
a skulker through most of the three years,
and a rebel sympathizer at heart, it but
further demonstrates "the eternal fitness
of things" that a convention goverened
and controlled by Vallnndigham should
nominate him to the highest office which
could be offered at this time, as a reward
for his valuable services.
The last promotion as Brevet Brigadier
General was undoubtedly procured thro'
political influence, that the copperhead
party might have a soldier on their ticket,
in the hope of securing the votes of such
soldiers as are not acquainted with the
antecedents of the man.
' ' He now avows boldly that he supported
Vallandingham in the army. Several of
his former comrades tell us that when in
the army, he denied casting; his vote for
the "illustrious martyr." He is a man of
narrow mind and limited education has
not even the merit of being able to make a
speech, but is possessed of powerful
sneaking qualities, which properly entitle
him to a position on the copperhead tick

Communicated to the Cincinnati Gazette.
CINCINNATI, June 7.
- In your pater of this morning you.copy
an article from the Hancock Jeltersonxm,
concerning the antecedents of Gen. Ben.
LeFever. This article does the "General"
injustice in representing him as unable to
make a pubbc address. He certainly dia
make one at .Newark the past Winter,
when the State. Legislature was on an ex
cursion to that place. After uttering a few
remarks, he closed his address by saying
that he could not better illustrate his posi
tion than by quoting those well known lines
of the immortal Shakespeare :
"Here, Lord, 1 give myself away,
Tis all that I can do."
Whatever else the gallant Beu. cannot
do, it is evident that he can make a speech,
and the Hancock county editor should
know it Such' misstatements disfigure
history, and in the long run they add
nothing to the strength of the opposition
in politics. It doesn't pay to misrepresent
a man s talents, tor the objector is generally
overwhelmed in the contest
'Another point was overlooked by the
editor or his informant, though thetate-
ment is correct, that the patriotic Major
was not at or near .Nashville when his regi
ment was engaged in battle. Aqput or a
little before that time, however, Ben. was
in Cincinnati, enduring hardships of an
other character. He was pining away his
existence in the hospital on Fair Mount
taking, for the benefit of his shattered
health, moonlight rides with young ladies,
and perhaps making occasional visits to
the Palace Varieties, and the Olympic on
Sixth street, and eertainly to other health
restoring resorts.

We are ready at all times to correct er
rors, and cheerfully retract all we said as
to Ben.'s inability in the matter of speech
making,' and of course we feci "over
whelmed" already. But Bea's Shake
spearian quotation reminds us of the two
Copperhead Congressmen who, in an ar
gument on religious matters over the bot
tle, got into a dispute as to their respective
knowledge of the subject under discussion.
At last, in order to bring the matter to a
close, one offered to bet $25 that the other
could not repeat the "Lord's Prayer."
The offer was taken, and rising and steady
ing himself by the table he commenced :
"Now I lay me (hie) down to sleep, (hie)

REPORT OF THE
COMMITTEE.
,' The report'of Jhe Congressfonat Qm
mittee upon Reconstruction is so able a4
conclusive that we wish it might be uni
versally read. It is the Constitution and
common sense . applied to the situation;
and after ths passionate and pettilbgging.
spirit in which Reconstruction," the rtOst
important of all our present questions has
been so often discussed its tone, is manly
and dignified. ' There is nothing exactly
new in the arguments of the Committee,
but the Report is an unanswerable state-
ment of the conclusions to which the com-'
mon sense of the loyal part of ths country
had arrived, and npon which, as wa be-- ,
lieve, it now reposes.

rebellious States were left, at the close" of
the war, without other valid government ,
than the military authority of the United
States, directed by the President as Commander-in-chief;
that the civil government
of those States could become valid pnly!;
upon, recognition, by Congress, and that
the resumption by those States of their
relations in the Union can occur only npon
such conditions as Congress may prescribe.
The folly of the assumption ot Alexander .
H. Stephens and th late allies of the re
bellion, that the moment a rebel State was
forced by arms to surrender it regained
untouched and without condition every
right and privilege.it had enjoyed . as a
part of the JJnion is, conclusively exposed'
by the Committee. . "To admit, such a
principle for, one moment would be to de-,
clare that treason is always master and'
loyalty a blunder. Such a principle is void
by its very nature and essence, because
inconsistent with the theory of government '
and fatal to its very existence."
To know the condition of the late rebel "
States it was necessary either to take the
opinion of the President solely, or to sift '
the evidence npon which that opinion was '
founded and enlarge the range of tesSmcK
ny. ' This latter course was adopted, and '
the impression left upon the Committee is
again that of the great' mass of Union men '
in the country. The condition of the-'1
States in question is precisely what was to
be expected. It is a feeling of intense re- (
gret that the struggle could not be pro- ,
longed, and of bitter, hostility toward the
Government . But while this is natural to ,
any early defeated in so fierce t contest,
the Committee find that it is peculiarly, .
strong in the States in question. , "The ,
conciliatory, measures of the Government,
do not seem. to have been met even half-"
way. The bitterness and defiance exhib-,
ited toward the United States under such
circumstances is without a parallel in the
history of the world." ... . ,.
. After the. most careful consideration up-;,
on ample evidence, the Committee believe
that adequate security should be required ,
for future peace and safety, and, they sug- '
gest, as the. result of mutual concession,
the amendment determining civil rights,
equalizing representation, disqualifying
certain persons for office under certain
conditions, and disowning the rebel debt
This amendment has beeit already adopted
by the Senate in p. moderate and generous
form, and approved by the House. As
there is nothing in it which is. not strictly
in consonance with the views which the
President has often -expressed, we hope
that for the sake of harmony he will not.
oppose it If, however, a bill should be
offered for his signature, postponing the
admission of any late rebel State to Con
gress until the-amendment had become a
part of the Constitution and had been rat
ified by the State, he would undoubtedly
veto it : It seems to us, for many good
reasons, advisable that each ' suspended
State should be restored upon its individual
acceptance of the condition, and we hope
that such may be the final judgment of
Congress. ,' " . ' . .' ''
Thus , this most' important Committee
concludes its labors, ' and concludes them
worthily. It has been fiercely derided
and insulted by -the most malignant ene
mies of the Union and Government at the
North and South ; and.everi the President's'
impatience has betrayed, him into, vituper
