We can bring twenty fanners to say that the Dnrk

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

will ran lighter, and will deliver lis grain easier aud
' better lliau any other reaper. The reaper's seat is dl

Id a recent edition of the L'nircrie the facta
bv which slavery is at present surrounded were
examined and those facts were fairly shown to
illustrate that the institution of slavery is vir
tually destroyed hv the war : that iu overthrow

empire demands It subversion, nut we now

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."

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.

about 5 o'clock strnck the Fredericksburg road

The only troops wa bad ou the ground at the

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

BATTLE OF RK8A0A, GA.--l'M0.V ARMS
VICTORIOUS.
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. The enemy's loss is 2,000 killed and
wounded, and 700 prisoners.
