MOORE’S SURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL. LITERARY AN!) FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 203 
Arrival of tlio Steamship Atlantic. 
The steamship Atlantic reached New York 
June 13, with Liverpool dates to noon of the 
2d inst., and 105 passengers. 
The news is of a most important and exci¬ 
ting character, covering, as it does, three dis¬ 
tinct successes by the allies. By the last arri¬ 
val we had a brief announcement that the 
French had driven the Russians from a storm¬ 
ing position of defence, or place dearmec before 
Sebastopol. This occurred during the night 
of the 22d and 23d, and was a most sanguinary 
affair, the place being defended by nearly the 
whole of the garrison. The total loss on both 
sides, in killed and wounded, is set down at 
8 , 000 . 
Gen. Pelissier says the Russian loss was 
enormous, and that of his own m ops consid¬ 
erable, though much less. The French re¬ 
tained their position. Prince GortschakofFs 
account of the affair is this :—“ Yesterday 17 
battalions of the enemy, with reserves, at¬ 
tacked our trench of counter approach com¬ 
menced the day before in front of bastions 
No. 6 and 6. The combat was sanguinary, 
and lasted the whole of the night. Our 12 
battalions lost nearly 2,600 men in driving 
back the enemy.” 
On the 25th the French occupied the line of 
the Tchernay. The enemy, who were not in 
force, offered little resistance, and retreated 
rat idly to the hills. 
The expedition to Kertsch and Yenikale 
has been attended with complete success.— 
The enemy fled on the approach of the Allies. 
They blew up their powder magazine, destroy¬ 
ed their batteries, and burned tbeir steamers. 
Lord Raglan telegraphs the following :— 
‘ ‘ May 27. We are masters of the sea of Azoff. 
The troops landed at Kertsch on Pier Majesty’s 
birthday the 24th, and the enemy fled, blow¬ 
ing up their fortifications on both sides of the 
straits, and destroying their steamers. Some 
vessels and 50 guns have fallen into the hands 
of the allies.” 
A dispatch from Kasslau, of the 30th, says 
letters from Gen. Brown and Admiral Lyons, 
ot the 29th, announce the destruction of four 
Russian war-steamers and large depots. The 
allied ships succeeded in blowing up the mag¬ 
azine at Arabat and in destroying 100 mer¬ 
chant vessels. Only one Russian steamer re¬ 
mains in the sea of Azoff. Five vessels laden 
with corn had run into Kertsch, not aware that 
the place was taken, and were captured. The 
number of guns found by the allies exceeded 
100 . 
The occupation of Galatz, and an attack 
upon Ismael and Keni, were confidently spo¬ 
ken of. 
The garrison of Sebastopol drew most of 
their supplies from Kertsch. Its capture, 
therefore, must exercise a speedy influence on 
the siege. 
The Sardinian contingent had been landed 
in a splendid condition, and well supplied 
with all the materials of war. 
Large convoys had entered Sebastopol from 
the north side, and the Russians were working 
vigorously on the north side in erecting earth 
works, &c. 
Txih Baltic. —It was reported at Dantzic on 
the 23d that the 1st division of Russian gun 
boats stationed at Sweaborg, had made a 
movement toward the opposite coast and the 
Gulf in the direction of Riga. The Russians 
are making a land communication with Ze- 
ornes at the extremity of the Gulf of Bothnia 
The French, squadron, under command of Ad¬ 
miral Penuud, sailed from Kiel May 22d, to 
join the English league, which was last re¬ 
ported beyond Nasgen. 
Liverpool Markets. —Breadstuff’s—Brown, 
Shipley & Co., and most other firms, report 
the markets dull at hist week’s rates, viz : 
Old western canal flour 41s. 6d a 42s. ; new 
4<>s. a 41s.; Ohio 45s. a 45s. 6d.; white wheat 
12s. a 12s. 9tl.; red 10s. 9d. a lls. 9d.; white 
corn 61s. a 62s. 6d.; mixed 60s. a 60s. Gd.; 
yellow 60s 6d. a 51s. 
Baring Brothers report business steady.— 
Breadstuff's quiet. 
The Crops. 
Tire Albany Evening Journal says “ The 
crops in this county are lookiug very hand¬ 
some and promising. The rye crop in partic¬ 
ular looks thrifty, and already measures from 
five to five aud a half feet in height. Corn is 
rather backward, but it appears healthy and 
vigorous. Potatoes are coming forward hand¬ 
somely on the Pine Plains west of the city.” 
The St. Louis Republican of June 12, says 
that the harvesting of early whe it commenced 
in Randolph couuty, Illinois, on the 9th inst., 
and promises an abundant yield. 
The wheat crop in Southern Ohio and Ken¬ 
tucky is represented to be very excellent, the 
only fault Iwing its extreme rank aud profuse 
growth. It is now rapidly approaching ma¬ 
turity. 
The Journal of Commerce states a gentle¬ 
man who has just returned from an extensive 
tour in Maryland and Virginia, says that ex¬ 
cept in a few counties the wheat crop is mag¬ 
nificent The cold weather is favorable to the 
healthy growth and ripening of wheat. 
The Easton (\Id.) Star states that the early 
wheat is nearly fit for harvesting, but is of 
opinion that the yield in the county this sea¬ 
son will not bo more than half a crop. The 
joint-worm has made its appearance in Charles 
Co., (Md.,)but has not been very destructive. 
The Indianapolis Journal learus that the 
wheat in that viciaity has suffered very se¬ 
verely by the frost. Corn has also been much 
injured from the same cause. 
'1 he Chicago Tribune of Juno 11, states that 
a gentleman who has within the last few days 
traveled over six or seven hundred miles in 
that State, gives an Recount of the growing 
grain and fruit crops, which shows them to 
he unequ died in the country heretofore. His 
route of travel was down the Chicago Branch 
of the Illinois Central 13U miles to Urbaua, 
thence by private carriage down the Smga- 
mon and around to Decatur, thence down the 
main trunk of the Illinois Central to Cairo, 
3G0 miles from here, and back to Chicago di¬ 
rect by the Central. 
The Cleveland Herald says the barque 
White Cloud, Capt. Brown, from Buffalo, on 
Saturday picked up, near Gravelly Hay, ami 
about twenty miles off shore, a crazy man, 
afloat in a small boat without oar or sail. 
The Lake Superior Country.— The Lake 
Superior Journal says that section of country is 
as great in its agricultural as in its mineral 
t< ton -ces. The Journal, speaking of the pub¬ 
lic land, says: 
“ So far from being productive in its min¬ 
eral wealth alone is it, that the receipts 
of those who have devoted themselves to 
farming have been muchgreater in proportion 
to their investment than the mines. One 
person who cleared 16 acres and put it into 
oats, potatoes, turnips, &c., at an expense of 
about $800, realized from the same over $2,- 
600 in the first year, and the same during the 
next. Where can there be greater encourage¬ 
ment for farmers, their land, their expense of 
clearing and all more than paid by the pro¬ 
ducts of the first year.” 
Manufacture of Salt.— The Syracuse Jour¬ 
nal publishes a table showing the quantity of 
salt manufactured from the Onondaga salt 
spiings from 1797 to 1853, inclusive. In 1797 
tln-re were 25,474 bushels made, and during 
the past year 5,803,847 bushels were made. 
The Journal says:—‘‘It will be seen that 
there has been an increase in almost every 
succeeding year, and that the only years in 
which the quantity manufactured reached 
5,000,000 of bushels, were 1850. 1853 and 1855; 
the amount in 1854 being 39.823 bushels more 
than in 1852. It is thought that the produc¬ 
tion of the present year will exceed that of 
last year in almost the same ratio as that of 
the last year did over the one previous.” 
-- ■ . —- 
TnK Old Soldiers.— A bounty land warrant 
of 160 acres was forwarded to the President of 
the United States for military services render¬ 
ed by him during the Mexican war. A simi¬ 
lar warrant was forwarded to Ex-President 
Tyler, for military services during the late 
war with England. Hon. Win. L. Marcy, 
Secretary of State, receives an 80 acre warrant 
for military services in the same war, he hav¬ 
ing already received a bounty cf 80 acres un¬ 
der the act of 1850. 
A Native Stranger.— A man named Chas. 
Folgkr, who was born on the island of Nan¬ 
tucket, and is 76 years of age, stepped foot 
upon the Continent for the first time week 
before last. There is still another man, a 
year older, who has never stepped foot off 
Nantucket. 
The Secretary of the Interior has ordered 
the land offices at Chicago, Dixon, Quincy, 
Edmundsville and Palestine, to be closed, and 
the books and documents removed to Spring- 
field. 
Late statistics show that the average con¬ 
sumption of animal food in France is 40 lbs. 
a year each individual ; 200 lbs. would be 
barely sufficient to give him the use of his 
whole strength. 
Mr. James Sheridan Knowles has written 
a pamphlet with the object of proving that 
‘‘the Gospel attributed to Matthew” was 
composed by all the apostles together, who 
employed Matthew as a penman ! 
|i)ielJigei)ce, &c. 
Rcral Nkw-Yorkkr O fice, } 
June 19, 1865. f 
Tiik tendency of the market is downward, both at 
home and abroad. The news from abroad quotes bread- 
stuffs as ruling in favor of the buyer, and both in New 
York and New England, a similar state of things pre¬ 
vails. The greatest reductions, however, have thus far 
taken place in the cattle markets. 
There are no changes worthy of note in the rates of 
wheat, flour and corn in our market; but oats are a six¬ 
pence a bushel below former quotations. The abundant 
crop of grass coming on has its influence upon this grain. 
Butter is a cent a pound higher than last week, and 
beef is flfty cents per hundred under previous rates. 
There is nothing of interest in the woo! market, and an 
extraordinary state of inactivity exists. No inducement 
is held out for the farmer to bring in his wool, and in ad¬ 
dition. the coldness of the weather retarded sheep shear¬ 
ing very late in the season.

“Learn that truth is In all—is as omnipresent in 
human knowledge as the great God of Truth is In his 
creation. Thus would the student be trained to be a true 
Eclectic, and seek for the truth in every system and 
every theory. He would find it in Allopathic, Hydro¬ 
pathic or Homopathi.; systems : in bio-chemical, dynam¬ 
ical or histological theories.”— Forbes’ British and For¬

The great demand that has existed tor this work, and 
for the American Eclectic Practice, since their publica¬ 
tion, a few months since, is deemed sufficient evidence 
to prove that they meet a long felt want of the medical 
profession. Thousands of copies have been eagerly pur¬ 
chased by physicians residing in nearly or quite every 
State of the Union and the demand has not before been 
-olarge or so steidy as at present. They have been fa¬ 
vorably reviewed by Medical Journals, but space forbids 
us to give the notices in this advei tisement.

Kktchum’s Mower for 1855 with wrought iron frames 
and finger bars, improved guards and pitman, knives of 
superior quality, the adjustable boxing to keep the gear¬ 
ing in its proper mash, a good ea-y spring seat, and the 
substantial manner in which every part of the machines 
are made, makes them the most simple, durable and per¬ 
fect machine in the world. 
The weight of the machine has been lessenod. which, 
with the improvements made on them, makes their draft 
very much le?s so that one span of horses can easily 
cut from ten to fifteen acres per day. We have a Reaper

to fifteen acres of any kind of grass per day, whether 
heavy or light, wet or dry lodged or standing, and do it as 
well as can be done by scythe. They will also cut the 
s.imeamo in’ of grain per day.

horses in Cortland county, will stand for the improve¬ 
ment of horses at Mr. Waggoner’s, in Truxton, oti Mon¬ 
days and Tuesdays, aDd the remainder of the time at Van 
Auden’s Hotel, Homer.

CERTIFICATES. 
We, tiie undersigned, Teel groat pleasure, and the ful¬ 
lest confidence in recommending the hor.-e, Morgan Mil- 
er, to the public a? the best one in our knowledge tor 
the improvement of the breed of horses. He is a per¬ 
fect type of his sire, the celebrated “Green Mountain 
Morgan,” owned by Silas Hale, of South Royalton, Mass., 
and it i3 thought by some good judges that he even sur¬ 
passes the old horse in several important points.

Morgan Miller.—I have great pleasure in saying that 
I consider him the most perfect model of the horse kind 
within my knowledge. Feeling considerable interest in 
fast trotting horses, I have been led to investigate differ¬ 
ent breeds of stock, and the result of my investigations 
confirms my previous favorable opinion of the “Green 
Mountain Stock.” it is my opinion that Morgan Miller 
will fully equal his noble sire iu every particular.

THE EXCELSIOR HORSE POWER 
Has been very thoroughly tested, in the presence of a 
number of mechanic.? and farmers, and pronounced a 
very superior machine. The fastenings or couplings for 
the band wheel, &c., cannot possibly get loose, as 
ss often the case with many other Powers, and it is 
warranted to do all work any leasonable person can re¬ 
quire of a Horse Power, or tile machine can be returned at 
the manofacturei ’s expense. 
This machine is manufactured exclusively by RICH¬

It appears from the above analysis that the “ Vienna 
Piaster” is superior for land to that of the Cayuga or 
Onondaga, inasmuch as it contain? the largest per oent- 
age of the “ Suiphatb of Lock,” which is the most bene¬ 
ficial property in land Plaster.
