We can bring twenty fanners to say that the Dnrk eve is superior to any other mower.to one who emi be found prejudiced aguinst it. The Buckeye mowers are of two sizes, cutting fuur feet, and four feet eight inches. The Buckeye as a Reaper. The important advantages which lielnng u the rtnrkeve as a Mower are retained in the Keaper. and it can "be used either as a Mower or a Keaper by at ' Ui-hing the platform and reel. Though importing largely of them, we have been ' unable, for two years, to supply the demand. They are better adapted to the wants of California and O'regnu farmers that any other combined machine l or sale. It will adapt itself to every snrfaee of ground, will ran lighter, and will deliver lis grain easier aud ' better lliau any other reaper.

Tim Puebidbnt ani the Emancipation Proclamation. The Boston Liberator pub lishes a letter from tile late Owen iiovejoy, ad dressed to William Lloyd Garrison, under ditto of Washington, February 22, 1804. Iu this letter Lovejoy says : I write you, although III health compel, nie to do it by the hand of another, tn express to yon my gratification at the position you have taken in refereno to Liuonln. I am satisfied, as the old theologians used to say in regard to the wnrld, that il he Is not the best conceivable President, he is the best possible. I hare known something of the fuots inside darinz his administration, and I know that ho has been jnst as radical as any of bis Cabinet. And al though he does not do everything that you or I would like, the question recurs whether it is likely we can aleot a man who would. It is ev ident that the great mass of Unionists prefer him for re-election ; and it seems tn me certain that the providence nf God during another term will grind slavery to powder. I believe now that the President is up with tho avcrngo of the House. lieonrrin; to the President, there are a great many reports concerning him which seem to be reliuhle and authentic which, after all, are nut so. It was currently reported among the anti slavery men of Illinois, that the emancipation proclamation was eitorted Irntn linn liy the outward pressure, and particularly by the dele gation from the Christum Cimventiou that met at Chicago. Now, tho fact is this, as I had it from his own lips : He had written the procla mation in the Summer, as early as Juno, I think but will not be certain as tu the precise time and called his Cabinet together, and in formed them that ho had written it, ami he meant to make it; but wanted to read it to them for any criticism or romurks as to its features or details, After having done so, Seward sug gested whether it would uot bo well for him to withhold its publication until after we had gained some substantial advantage in the field, as at that time we bad met with many reverses, and it might be considered a cry of despair. llo told uie ho thought the suggestion a wise one, mid so held nn to the proclamation until after the battle of Antietam. I mention this as a sample uf a great many others. riTTlio bill to admit tho members of the Cabinet on the floor of either Ilonse, has passed the Senato and will in all probability pass the House. A provision is inserted that the heads nf the Departments shall attend personally ou Mondays and 1 hurtuays tn answer any inter rogatories that may be propounded to them on mutters touching their respective bureaus. CT'Six thousand men of the Foreign Lesion. are to renin in in Mexioo to support Emperor Maximilian. ' It will require 60,000 men to keep bim there, unless tho French Emperor, his creator, should take the Southern Confed eracy under his protection, and in that way provide the Austrian with support from with out. Perhaps that is tho Frenchman's pur pose, unless we should do something great this year, . . t7 Gen. Grant is now considered the ablest officer iu the Federal armies, and is one of the best customers of iieuston, Hastings & Co.; they having mado his clothes fur many years in New York. Clothes help to make the man, say what you will. Tuf. Small-Pox Remedy. The small-pox remedy w hich cured three thousand cases in England, Inkeu iu all stages of the disease, is so simple that it cannot be too widely dissotui- uaied. it is : Cream of Tartar ounce. Rhubarb 12 grains. Cold Wntor 1 pint, The dose is from a quarter to a half pint. In severe cases a half pint dose should he ad ministered. In cases charaolerized by ilelijium great benefit baa been ohtaiav.-u tj applying a bottle of hot wate Vfl the feet. Plcuty of fresh air is important, and an out-door airing at the earliest period practicable is recommended. When applied in the earliest stage of the erup tion, the eruption is arrested aud suppuration prevented without any injurious result, ,'1'ho mixture should he well stirred or shaken imme diately before administering it. Just So. Tho Nevada (Cal.) Gazette, in replying to the charge of having endorsed a "swindler" as a loyal man, says : "Thief as ho is, ho is infinitely superior to any traitor northern or southern that walks the earth. There is hope and pardon for him ut none for copperheads. Jesus promised the thief ou the cross that he would meet him in Paradise; but he inadu uo such promise to Judas." Tub CiiiiiBTUN Commission. The follow ing dispatch was lately received in San Fran cisco: Philadelphia. Mnv 14, 13G4. Rev. Robert Patterson. D.

STUART, Ch'n Christian Cuuimissinn. ttT A pleasing incident occurred at Clove land, Tcmi., a lew days since. A flag was bnried there three yenrs ago by some ladies to provrnt its falling info the hands of the rebels. It remained undisturbed ontil a few days sinoe, when it was exhumed by company of the same ladies. They unfurled it to the hreeie, and. accompanied by a brass band paraded through the streets. One of the ladies made a speech, which was responded tn by Colonel Grnese. The banner was then hoisted on one of the principal tmildinga, and there it waves, a fitting testimonial of woman's devotion to her country. Co.siT.iiKRA.Ta IIkavkn.

May 18th, 0 p.m. : Abost l' p.m., yesterday, the en emy left their position at Sputtaylvania, and made a detour west, across the river Ny, and about 5 o'clock strnck the Fredericksburg road near our right flank, within three lourths of a mile of Meade's and Gram's headquarters. The only troops wa bad ou the ground at the time, were two regiments of Ti ler's brigade. Tyler brought up the remainder nf his foroe, met the rebel's uttwk.and drove the eueiny back into tbe woods, i Considering the rawucss nf the troops, when once fairly under Ire, they showed the utmost bravery. Their kiss ia quite heavy, and will probably reach 1,000 in killed, wounded and missing. Tbe rebel gave way iu confusion. The repulse of lite enemy rests evidently with Tyler' heavy artille-y division, though Brack mau's division of theiid corps, aud afterwards the Sth corps were tent to his support, and formed a line, enabling him to withdraw, after driving the enemy several miles, aud crossing Ny valley. The ooufusiou uf tho rebels ap peared to be groat ; the major portion of Rhutl't division settling in the woods. The Spirit, of the 18th, says our lines of communication are nil right to-night, and there is a largo quantity of aipplies ooiitinually coming-. , Jenny' Station, 15 miles south of Freder icksburg, is in our possession. To this point the rebels brought supplies from Bowling Green. , Bkiimuda Hundubo, May 18. Kiolsmoud Examiner says the enemy has concentrated in Virgiuia.

Rebaca, Ga May 16 On tho 12th nearly the whole army wa in motion towards Snake oreek, 13 miles south of Buzzard Roost. How ard', Wood's and Stanley's divisions were left there to attend to tbe enemy in front of Dal tou. On Friday morning. May 13tb, the balk nf onr forces were assenihlod in Sugar Valley at tho mouth of the Gap, while the cavalry bad ontniueuced operations, During the day the army was oocupied in dup oying from tha Gap and gelling into position. Ilenvy skirm ishing took placo, Ilurrold's division of Logan's corps meeting with considerable loss. By ni'iit. the enemy' position was fully developed. Itesaca is situated on a greut bend of the old Ooslennla river, the convex towards the east. Across tho nock nf tha peninsula there was a continuous line nf defences, with a long line nf fortifications. Both rebel flauks rested on tho river. Their liuo of retreat was thus completely protected. On Friday night, 13th, our army was in po sition around tho rebel works, except the di vision which afterward) oconpicd Dalton, on the 15th, and were sweeping down in lino of Altona and Western Railroad, to form a Juno tion with the rent of the army. ' On Saturday skirmishing hegnn in the morn ing, nnd continued inoeisantly throughout tho day. At about 2 o'clock, it was especially se vere on tha left of the 15th corps. Many of unr mou were picked off by sharpshooters. About noon, Howard effected a junction with tho rest of the army, and the whole nf onr forces were in position. General Howard hav ing tha extreme left, Schalield tho next, then Hunker, Palmer, lloag and Wood, witli two divisions nf the 16th corps being on tha ex treme right. Such changes were subsequently made as movements nf the eneinv aud the ex ecution of our own demanded, but generally our liue remained as stated. At 1 P. m an attempt was mad i tn broak the centre of the enemy's line, or at leust cap tore lite miter vrorke. Jonah's dlvltdon or ncho field' corps and Newton's division of How ard's corps moved forward and succeeded after a desperuto conflict, iu compelling Ihein to abandon the position nf their outer lines. We did not continuo to hold this, hut our own lino was somewhat advauoed. Our artillery prevented the rebels from occupy inf. it. A portion of Johnson's division of Palmer's corps w hile attempting to charge the rebel front were compelled to throw themselves dunii an almost perpendicular bank, wado a creek waist deep, and then to retire aorosa a valley fully exposed to tho tiro from the rebel works. It was now discovered that the eueiny was moving heavy forces np theltesnoa and Fultnn road, for tho obvious purpose of turning our lelt nana. Uuiieral Hooker was sent to check mate this movement. Before be arrived, the rebels had thrown themselves with au immense dash upon Craft' brigade of Stanley' divi sion, aud forced it, after a splendid resistance, to ai'AUdon the bill uiion which it wa'. pusled, and retiil.iy considerable confusion. Thu rebels advanced 'Aiid weio met by n murderous fire of grape and caftra1."' frum onr batteries At the same titiro a porlinii tr 'looker's enrp took possession of both sides of t'r.e valley, and Craft's broken brigade rallied. Tilt "dsel were repulsed with great slaughter, mo conflict ceased nt night. In the meantime the hallle onimnenned upon the right. A portion nf Logan's tirps charged the line of rebel rille pits a little to the right of Ruancu, aud carried them. This was in the evening. Alter Aril the rebels were massed in large foroe, and attempted In riKnipturu Ihcir works. Alter a struggle the rebels retreated, leaving the hillside covered with their dead and wounded. On Sunday morning the firing was renewed. Not anything of importance occurred until 1 p. in., when Hooker s corps, which now ooou- Jiied the loft Palmer, Howard aud Schvficld living been ahifu-d Inwards tho right tn fill the gap occasioned by Hooker' withdrawal ohar'-e.l the enemy's line, and succeeded in drmne them in. Our until, him ever, were exposed lo a deadly fire from thu enemy' woiks, and compelled to withdraw. .Nut with aliimlinii this withdrawal, our line bad ad vanccd to what was then tluir tint parallel l.ne. For snme reason unknown, the enemy thought it best to retire, and on Sunday night evacuated with their entire army, leaving ns three guns and sumo store ol meat and corn behind. Early this morning we started in pursuit of Johnsons trm ps by I his time acruss. Uur !"a is estimated at 3,400 killed, wounded and missing.
