An tarly Kastern Kx press will Irare Richmond at 5.50 A. M., making m closa connection at Xenia with the through Express Train for all points East.

M., July 4tb, at regular fare. , From Berlin. John II. Klipi-kiit, is writing a series of interesting letters to the Ohio State Journal, from the sixth of which, dated Berlin, M.ty 24th, we take the following extracts : THE T AIR AT STETTIN. Well, the Great International Exhibition at Stettin, the Capital of l'oinincrania, in over at last. There were many tilings to admire in the management of the fair, but which at the same time arc almost wholly impracticable in Ohio. For instance, the exhibition was opened on the l&th of May, yet nil the entries were made by the loth of April, and nothing was received on the Secretary's books after that time. The plan is certainty better for exhibitors, managers nnd visitors, Itecanse then there is a proper place assigned for everything, every article can be properly numbered and labeled, the committee examine and inuiio awaids before the exhibition opens, the visitors do not annoy the Committees, and vice versa this is one feature. Another feature is the police regulations. There are about GOOD soldiers garrisoned at Stettin, ami as the government does everything, it turned these soliders out to perforin police duty during the exhibition. This police guarded against persons assembling in crowds in the halls or passages, guarded every article from being handled or soiled, and preserved the most perfect order every where inside and outside of the exhibition. I am very doubtful as to whether we could perserve as perfect order with the same force. TUB FARMERS TTTF.IR Mt.NNERS- , LEARNING. -TIT KIR The letters of introduction which I obtained here and in Hamburg, were of infinite benefit to me, as they introduced me to many a Landwirth and GutsbesiUer ( proprietor and landlord, ) in rominerania, Silesia, Alecklenberg, East Prussia and Mark l&randenburg. Now, I rather like the Lamlwirthx nut because they are noblemen, barons, land graves, Ac, but because they just about fdl the programme of my beauideal of a farmer. They are very courteous and polished in their manners, thoroughly educated, most of them graduates of some agricultural college as well as university, speak not less than three and not unfreqnently six" or seven languages, are throughly posted on agricultural literature, good botanists, anatomists, physiologists, veterinarians, Ac, Ac, and have a practical knowledge of every thing relating to agricultural operations. And if our Ohio farmers want to see what ''book knowledge" applied to agriculture really amounts to, they need only visit 3fark Brandenburg to be convinced of it. Mark Brandenburg is nothing but a vast sand plain the sand three or four feet deep; jot on this repulsive soil (?) they raise very fair crops of potatoes, rye, oats, bavley, clover, lupines, lucerne, rnpe and mustard. No farmer in Ohio would pay fifty cents an acre for farming purpose8, and yet it sells for 9150 to 5200 per acre, and by the strict application of scientific principles it is as "blooming as a rose." AGRICULTURE AS A 6CIKNCE. The system of teaching in the Agricul tural College or University of Berlin, is very different from our collcge teaching. The teaching here is eminently "peripatetic," the professor of Botany for in stance, ( Trof. Dr. Karl Koch, who was kind enough twice to invite me to ac rotnpany the class on an excursion of course I went, ) takes the class twice a week to visit some estate. There the clas examine the grasses, and the professor explains the physiology, diseases, nutritive qualities, kind of soil most congenial, the climate best adapted, the mechanical condition of the soil, -when the I est time to cut the grapes, how to cure them, and how to feed them. The class then go into the forest and get a lesson on trees and shrubs, their growth, culture, Ac. Then they visit the stables and see how the grasses and forage plants are put up, preserved, fed, Ac. Then another professor takes the class to an estate, and gives them a lecture on the nnatomy, physiology, Ac, of cattle, the qualities and external form and character of each race, Ac Hence, nt the end of three years the student cannot fail to have observed, even If he has not read the text books; then, too, the students are taught the practical use of all the impliracnts, how to construct them.

I
visited an estate yesterday, and from Baron Von , a very intelligent, scientific and communicative gentleman he could talk "Xegrette" and "Shorthorn" by the hour showed me the fields and results of the application of artificial manure ; dwelt long and learnedly on the very great importance of the analysis of soils, showed me his 1C2 milk cows, 26 yoke of oxen, 33 head of horses, ita past history, present condition, and future prospects, by being on good terms with the Minister of Agriculture, ( Herr Von Wehrmann, ) to visit bis office two hours a week and spend the remainder of the time on estate 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, to 100 miles away from here, just as the subject matter of interest may be, than by traveling blindly or for months without his aid. Every thing is Bureau ratic. If you wish to know whereto find the descendants of the original Spanish sheep imported into Saxony In 1772, "go to the minister," and he will hunt amoDg records a whole dav until he finds it, if need be; but the office is so completely systematized that it seldom requires iiinrn than fiftppn minutes to find any
required record of it in the office. There ' and five hundred families rendered homeis a record of the origin and condition t less.

But after all, they have no customs for the fiscal year ending with system of definite statistics.

In passing through the establishment I inquire "how many gallons of spirits do you make in a year as an average ?" "That depends on the price of Potatoes." ( "Spirits are mainly made from Potatoes here. ) "But suppose the price of Potatoes is a fair average, then how much do you distil?" "Then it will depend on the crop of Potatoes." "But suppose the crop is a fair one?" "Then it will depend upon the price of spirits." "But if spirits arc an average price ?" "Then it will depend upon the percent. wc can make per day" and then he entered on a long explanation of what was understood by per cent., and how it controlled the price as well as the amount made. Finding I eon! I not get the question answered by direct interrogations, I inquired "bow much income do j'ou derive from the distillery as an average ?'? "That depends upon the amount distilled you see, my friend from America, I make more money when the Potato crop is light, Potatoes high, and spirits high, than I possibly can when the crop is good and spirits low; but you see Russia is going into the production of spirits, Potatoes are cheap there, and Ufcc Government offers to allow eveiy one to distil three years without levj-ing any taxes on the distillery or the product, and so 3-011 see I have about concluded to abandon the business. When your Indian corn crop is good in America, then we are obliged to keep our spirits on band, or sell at a loss, because we cannot compete with you in France, Italy and South Germany; but ever since your war commence. 1 we have had a good time with spirits " I give the above as a specimen of my ! acquiring "Knowledge umicr uiiiieuiues and yet these Barons are as attentive, polite, considerate, and communicative as any person could possibly desire. Indian Bureau. Not content with being "monarch of all he surveys' in this district, the "dictator" believed that his mighty influ ence should be diffused on the outside thereof; ! hence he took the Indian Bureau under his j special charge, and oracularly announced, pre- j vious to his return lotbe capital of Old Wayne, that Commissioner Dole's official heid would fall from his shoti'ders sure and certain; in fact , he was prepared to exhibit it "in a charger" to ! all of the "earnest" men of the ih distnci, who ' had a curiosity to see it!

X3T Among the items embraced in Sec'y Stanton's report,is a statement of the number of soldiers recruited under the operation of the act of Congress authorizing the Governors of the loyal States to send recruiting agents into the rebel States. It will.be remembered that this provision was inserted in the amendatory enrollment act of July 1864, at the imperative instance of Massachusetts, whose Krpresentati ves in Congress voted with the copperheads against the repeal of the three hundred dollar clause, uDtil the Republicans reluctantly consented to the provision above mentioned. The followiug is the tremendous result obtained : Total number of recruiting agents ap

In the election at Norfolk many rebel soldiers participated. Troubles have occurred there between the returned rebel soldiers and the freedmen. Gen.

Indications are good, and the proprietors are encouraged to prosecute the work. They hope to strike a streak, shortly, that will flow out without pumping. We also have encouraging reports from the Preble County wells. They, too are going down. Oil, in paying quantities, has not been reached, but the indications of oil in abundance are all that can be expected, or indeed, desired. Great anxiety is manifested by outsiders, as well as insiders, with regard to these enterprises, and many are ready to go to work iiie moment "ile" is struck iti paying quantities. Dayton Journal.

Gran I preparations are being made throughout the country for grand old Fourth of July celebrations. They will fire cannous, eat big dinners and make speeches ; success to enterprising citizens of Marion county. A stabbing affray occurre 1 at the Repot on Friday, between txo soldiers, in which one was severely wounded. A German laborer named Thacher, while working about the Cincinnati Depot, was accidently caught between two cars and crushed to death. Friday afternoon a switch-tender named Tom Smith, was horribly mangled while riding on the pilot of a down train from Lafayette, by the cylender head blowing out and tearing ofT l.is left arm. His recovery is doubtful. A drunken soldier, who had been robbed of all his money, tried to en I his miserable life by shooting himself on the steps of the Sherman Hous Thursda y night, the ball taking effect in the n -ck. He was alive at last accounts, but in a very critical condition.

Those who may require passes will find Lieut. C. W". Smith of the 69th, ready to attend with promptness courtesy to their wants. It is unnecessary to make further remarks in reference to the t merits of these gentlemen, as we have j heretofore alluded to the reputation earn- j cd in this city by the C9th, but we opine 1 the appointments will be received with ! approbation by all whom business may J bring in contact with them.

It was resolv eu, just at dark, to give him a formal men moved through the timber to headquarters, presented a pleasing scene. ! Aud the joyous acclaim which ranj out ' on the evening air, proved that the demonstration was spontaneous and one of good cheer. Arrived at headquarters, j the brigade was joined by the 84th Ills., ; which a few days before had been trans- j ferred to the 2d brigade, 1st division, but who were determined to vie with; their former comrades in arms in this ' tribute of atrectkm towards their gallant ! commander. j By i-i o clock, fully 3,000 brave sol3 "' yiuunu, awaiting Uie appliance of the General, and auxious once again to oeuoui nis veteran form. for it was he who had so rallantlv led them at Look out Mountain, Missionary Ridge, Ringold. Dalton, Tunnel Hill, Rocky Face, Reasaca, Kenesaw, Dallas, Colp'sFarm, Atlanta, Jonesboro. Lovejoy, Frankl in and IVashville. Veteran he, veterans they. It was fitting that hearts thus united in defence of a common cause should, now the strife being over and the victory won, unite in the expression of mutual confidence and love. When considering the progress of events for the past four years, and more especially for the last year and a half, the great marches made, the sanguinary contests waged, the presence of the living and the memories of the fallen brave, the scene was touching, and could not fail to swell with emotions, akin to commingled joy and trrief, the heart of every patriot w ho w itnessed it. Surely we shall not soon forget it. j The brigade band, under the leadership j of A. C. Smith, than w hich theie was no better in the service, discoursed "Dixie's J L,aiul, first. anl then the stirring air of the "Red, White and Blue." The General then presented himself to his grand audience of citizen soldiery, and was received with the most enthusiastic cheers. He had hardly prepared himself for such an earnest welcome as their cheers indicated, and w as deeply moved. But in a moment, composing himself, he proceeded to address them in one of the most earnest and touching I common-sense speeches that it has ever I been my fortune to hear in the army. i He thanked them for the welcome they ! bad extended him; reviewed briefly the ! struggles through which they had pass1 ed ; the progress of humanity and civili ization which the war had engendered; 1 the triumph of our cause, of liberty and i constitutional Government ; and referred j with emphasis to the fact, that now our j land was free in reality as iu name, and that the humblest citizen could now utI ter his sentiments in favor of human I lights and democratic doctrines everyI w here within our borders. He then : spoke glowingly of the feelings of the .Northern people in regard to her patriot j men in the field, and said they would be hailed gladly by the great Northern heart when thej should return home. He gave them sound advice a, to the manner they should conduct themselves npon resuming the peaceful avocations of life, remarking feelingly: " Oh never let it be said that one of 1113- comrades in arms, who for four long years has risked his life in his eountrj-'s defence, and been battle-stained and battle-worn, triumph antly returns home and disgraces himself ; by violating the laws of the land he has j fought to maintain, or so conduct himself j as to tarnish the bright reputation he had i won " Finally, thanking his true and J tried men, for their great kindness to- j ward him since his connection w ith them, he bade them good night. Never did a brave soldier, a tried and I skillful general, a pure patriot man, ut- ! ter sounder sentiments, or give utterance j to nobler ideas, than did Gen. Grose, on j this occasion. There was no efTort at I rhetorical flourish, but the plain expression of manly duty, and the practical in- , terests of life. There was not one uni satisfied heart not one but who went away feeling a better men, and proud that his cause was maintained by so good a man. w. s. d.

He returned to this co untry j a: the openingof the year !'.!, and at the outbreak , of the rebellion he was iu command of the Philadcllivi Xavy Yard. j President Lincoln and Secretary Welles found in I the subject of this sketch a clear headed and aealous 1 h'yal adviser in the dark hours of the Republic It I w as by his advice that the noble harbor of Port Royal j was selected for our occupation , and its seixure was! fittingly entrusted to him. He won his hold npon the j coast at that importaul point by an achievement the splendor of w hich burst upon the country like glad j sunlight. The two strong forts on Hilton Head and j Hay Point were captured after a severe engagement, j in which Flag Odicer lupont sailed his vessels in an ellipse between the forts, delivering his broadsides upon each in turn. Follow ing this exploit, which gave him a rank among the great naval Captains of the age, he pursued the advantage thus won by vigorous and alw ays successful operation at different points cn the coast, and established the rigorous blockade, whi-h owed much of its strictness to his faithfulness and zeal. In 1S32 he was named as one of the five naval heroes w ho received the new rank of Rear Admiral. After the unsuccessful attack on Charleston in 13A3, Admiral Dupont was relieved from the command of the South Atlantic squadron and Admiral Iahlgren assigned to that place. The reason alleged by the Nary IVpartmeut for this act was that Dupotit declared it impossible to keep the iron -clad inside the bar which the IVpartment deemed essential to the efficiency of the blockade of Charleston. Admiral Pupont's defense f his conduct at Charleston haa never been published, and it is therefore impossible to judge of 'l.e merits of the controversy w hich sprang up in Congress immediately upon his removal from the command. Henry Winter Davis espoused the cause of Admiral llupont with great warmth in the House, and it was understood that Mr. Grimes, the Chairman of the Seuate Naval Committee, considered the Admiral unfairly treat-J in that matter. The intervals of active duty have Been this gallant officer honorably associated with oilier branches of the public service, on various important naval boards. lie was prominent in the establishment of the naval school at Annaolis. Among the names that will be as imperishable as Uie deeply graven records of our age will be that of Rear Admiral Samuel F. Dupont. In private life a high-toned gentleman, on the deck of his !hip a cool and sagacious commander, and under all circumstances a sterling patriot and Christian, it must be said that he has tilled the measure of a noble life anJ shed a new lustre on the flag of his country. On the Navy Register Admiral Dupont is recorded as a citizen of Delaware, though we believe be has, of late years, made his home in Philadelphia. Riot at Flushing, N. Y. Terrible Outbreak Among the Long Island Firemen. Fiffy or Sixty Persons Wounded. From the New York Herald, list. The firemen of Astoria, Jamaica, Flushing and College Point having set apart yesterday for a trial of fire apparatus at Flushing, extensive preparations were ma le for a grand display, and Kugine companies Nos. 1 and 7 of the Eastern district, o. 3 of the Western district, Brooklyn, and No. 41 of New York were invited to be present. Consequently early in the day an immense number of firemen and their friends assembled in the town. In consequence of some delay the tiial did not take place until about two p. m., and scareelj- had the machiues been put in working order when a tumult arose in Main street, near Wooley's Hotel, which became so formidable in its proportions that all idea of c further trial was abandoned. It appears that an engineer from the Eastern district offered a bet of forty dollars to a member of the Astoria company, each having been discussing the merits of the Smith and Jetfer engines, when they quarreled over the terma. of the bet, the Astoria man first striking the Eastern district man. Their parti sans then took up the quarrel, and in a few minutes the tight became general between the Jeffers men and tbe Smith men. As soon as the report of firearms was heard, business men of the town closed up their stores, and in a few minutes afterwards the wildest disorder prevailed. The reports of pistols, the clashing of bowie knives, the screams and curses of combatants, the terrified shrieking of women and children, among whom fell showers of stones, rendered the scene one of intense tragic horror. The house tops were crowded with men, while the women and children sought refuge in cellars. This state of things lasted for some two hours, when the rain commenced to fall in torrents and seemed to cool the passions of the infuriated rioters, and they gradually quieted down and collected their wounded and disabled frieuds. It is impossible to state the number of those injured, but it is estimated at fifty or sixty. A lady, whose name was not ascertained, received a bullet wound in the breast. Several citizens and children were wounded by stray shots, but the fighters themselves suffered the most severe injuries. The wounded brought to Williamsburg include : Pat. McGinnis. McCarty, knife wound in neck. Ed McIIugh, badly injured about the head. Charles Van Dyke, visitor, badly. F. Kelly, head bruised. The scene of the tight presented evi dence of a terrific conflict bricks and stones, knives and broken pistols lying around in profusion. - - awaa -Baw 1 - FoBTfXATE Combination We are opposed to proj rittarr medicines, and it is with some compunction we sec advertiaementsof them io our column.

Fatal Accident. Mr. Wiuii, CochBa'i one of the beskkaova, and moit . respectable business men of this city, was instantly killed, on Thursday last, by falling from a ladder. He was engaged, as he has been for several year past, in the aale of Agricultural Implements to farmers, and on the day named was at Martin ' Wittkr's. three miles north of College Corner, Union county, putting up a patent Hay-fork, purchased of htm by Mr." WYttkr. It was necessary to make a part of the machine fast to the rafters of the barn, near the top of the roof ou the inside, and in order to reach that place, a spliced ladder was run up, at the top of which Mr. Cochrax was standing. When in that position, one of the clasps that fastened the two ladders together, gave way, and he wa precipitated to the floor, a distance of twenty-five feet, falling upon his head
and 6honlders. The back part of the skull was crushed in, and the spinal cord broken, causing instant death. His remains were brought to his late residence, on Ft. Wayne Avenue, in thia city, Thursday evening, and were interred Friday afternoon in accordance with the usages of the Society of Odd Fellows, of which order he was a respected member. We have known William Cochrax since boyhood, and we but give expres sion to the sentiments of all who enjoyed his acquaintance, when we say that for purity of moral character, kindness, and geniality of disposition, strict integrity in the business relations of . life, and for the generous impulses of a warm affectionate nature, he stood second to none. And in recording his sad and untimely death, we do it with feelings of the keenest sympathy for his immediate relatives, and much regret that so good a citizen and so estimable a man should be thus suddenly called away.
