BROWNVILLE, NEBRASKA, SATURDAY,
Ballad Cocitnemoratlns the Action
of 25th Mo. Regiment at the
Battle of Pittsburgh Laading.
BT JT. J. MARVIN.'
Te gaKant Twenty'-nftb, wbo fought at Pltttburg Hsbt,
Began the bloody battle, Just at the dawn of light,
To meet the furious rebels, your Uearta ani handaere
.strong,. ' .
While I recant yoar g!ry, Just listen to my aong.
At threo on Snnday mornibg, three companies went out,
To have a little skirmish, and take a "aecesh'f scout ;
But when we found their ambush, to catch their picket
spies. ' : '
Two thousand rebel rose to take us by surprise.
Oar noil ? ITaJor led us, and uuder his command,
We fought superior numbers, and almost hand to band.
And uhoh their horse would 'flank ua, ''My gallant
bora, said he,- .
"Fall back a liitle, genlly, and each man take a tree." j
For four Ions hours we fought them, and kept them all
at bay,
Till seven huntfred rebels, beneath our volleya lay
But when they reacUei" our camps aud formed their
' ' battery line, .
Tea regiments abreast their murderous fires combine.
With grape, and ball, aud c.uister, they drove us from
-our camp ;
But rallying In retreat, we made their forces tramps
They drove us towards the river, till teige guus with
their Are,
And gun boats witu their shells, made their qaklng
rauks retire.
On Ifoodiy morning, early, brave Buell led our men ,
And on their brlsclln aquadrons, commenced tbe fight
agaiu,
Beneath our deadly volleys, their reeling lines gave
'way, -
Till hosts of slaughtered rebels all through the green
woods lay. .
Till nU'ht drew down her curtain, their soatterol le
gions ran,
Itetreatina: far beyond, where the Tattle first began.
We took all their arms, a glorious victory won,
Aud chased them from the rising to the setting of tbe
sua.
But in the hour of triumph, our hearts remember well,
Our true and valliant comrades, wbo in the battle fell,
While fighting for the Union, co gallantly they dled,
And history shall name them with patriotic pride.
A tear for gallant Powell, and Peabody the brave.
Whom cursed traitor bullets, laid in a bloody grave:
Oar llajor and our Colonel, the Twenty-fth shall cry.
God Mess their a;uted mcnory, and the places where
they lie.
For rentleld and for Bramble, and glorious Captain
Wade,
Let. glory's freshest laurels above their bones be laid, .
And we who uow survive them, remember Pittsburg
fight,
Where alter blooc'y contest, our God sustained the right.

Alkaline aud Saline Soils.
Messrs. Editors: In your issue of
10th July, E. VV. Brewster, of. Denver
City, Colorado, inquires respecting the
remedy for counteracting the influence of
too much alkali in the soil, on some por
tions of his land.
In California, Colorado, and in some
oiher sections of our recently acquired
territory, there are large quantities of
otherwise good lands, but which are ren
dered valueless for cultivation inconse
quence of the great amount of alkali
(poia&h) they contain. The potash is
there naturally not in consequence of an
artificial application of wood ashes or
potash.
Iu ihe 4th Annual Report of the Cali
fornia State A . Society, there are two
essays "On the formation of. and nitans
of Subduing Saiia Soils." Y. -Thomp
son in his essay, says : ,
". "That the components of alkaline soils
are frequently furnished from the decayed
granite of the mountains, there can be
but little doubt. The potash contained in
the decaying rock, has an invincible ten
dency on gelling free from its former as
sociations, to get dissolved in water, in
which it continues connected, and thus
during the heavy rains of winter, sorr,e
of our springs and rivers may be consid
ered ai a weak solution of polish, &.C.
Some of the former remaining so at all
times, the solution uettinn &tron?er as the
heat of the summer dries up and dimin
ishes their former supply of water. As
the rivers rise they overflow their banks,
and in some situations leave, along the
lower portions of level plains, sheets of
water of considerable extent, where,
having no outlet, it necessarily remains
iill evaporated by the sun. The quantity
of alkaline matter which is thus deposit
ed in one year may be very small, but in
the course of asres it accumulates, and
soils are thus rendered barren from an
excess of those very alkalies which in
less quanties, are essentially necessary to
the growth of plants."
To reclaim these alkaline soils, Mr. T.
recommends embankments to prevent
overflowing, drainage, irrigation, and the
planting and growing such crops or plants
as require much potash in their compo
sition. There are other alkaline an4 satine
soils which are never overflown. They
NO. 9.
contain naturally, " in their surface anf
subsoils, potash or soda,' or the salts op
iron,' or other deleterious salts to such an
extent , as to render them worthless for
most of our cultivated crops.
Probably Mr.' BrewsterV land, which
"is a sandy loam with a heavy clav sub
soil,", naturally contains excess of Dotash.
The clay subsoil, from its impervioui tex
ture, prevents the w ashing out of excess
of potash. Drainage and irrigation, if
practicable, would prolably effect a cure.
ivueiuer mis couia te economically ef
tected is a matter that should be laken
into consideration, previous to the expen
diture of much money or Jabor.
Mr. W. Simpson, in his essay, says:
' ''The source, of the alkalies has been
correctly attributed to the decaying rocks
of the mountains." To the abundance of
the salts of potash and soda everywhere
in the soil of California, may be attribut
ed, in a great measure, the enormous
yield of her cereals,' the majestic size of
her trees, and the mammoth proportions
of her vegetables.
An alkaline soil is, strictly sneaking, a
soil which contains excess of alkaline in
gredients, but as its earthy " constituents
are variable, the term is definite in noth
ing but alkaline properties, and. although
from the impervious nature of the clays,
- i i
iney.are more liable to ua accumulation,
yet alkaline loams are by no means un
common in this country."
Ihe same aikaline deposits result from
potash water" in Colorado, as sookenof
by Mr. Thompson in his essay.
In the roport of Major Emory. U. S.
Commissioner, on the boundary between!
the United States and Mexico, in speak
ing of the lands bordering the Colorado
river, Lieut. Micher, one of the assis
tants, says :
'The bottom is intersected by innume-
11 m .
rauie lagoons ana sloughs, which, during
the annual rises, filJ to overflowing, and
irrigate the soil. The earth is conse
quently impregnated with the salts of pot
ash, magnesia and soda, which are held
in solution by the water. No vegetation
will grow beyond the . influence of these
overflows, and when a white effloresence
appears upon the surface of the ground,
it is useless plant, as nothing edible for
man or beast will grow."
It is said "we can have too much of a
gooJ thing." This seems to be the case
in regard-to potash and soda in a great
deal of the land in California and Colo
rado. How to get rid of this excess of
potash is a question Mr. Brewster wishes
to have solved. I have alluded to Mr.
Thompson's method, and perhaps thft tine
may vjou come'wLiu ii Will Id ion, J pi ir
ritable on thesj alkaline soils to grow
those plants that require a very largo per
centage of potash in their composition. J
According to the U. S. Dispensatory,
1.000 pounds of Wormwood ashes will
yield 73 pounds of potash. The same
amount of ashes of Fumitory will yield
79 lbs. of potash, and 1 ,000 pounds of
the ash of Angobia will yield 9G pounds
of potash.
Theory would say, (and I think exper
iment would prove it true,) that the grow
ing of the above named plants would fast
remove the potash from these alkaline
soils, wherever these potash plants could
be grown upon them, provided the plants
were removed from the soil as soon as
natured ; and then if burned the ashes
might be profitably applied to soil de
ficient in potash, or they might be leach
ed, the lye boiled . into plack salts, and
they would become an article of commer
cial value, and the land eventually pre
pared by the removal of extra potash for
more valuable cultivated crops.
Capt. Stansbury, in his Exploration of
the Great Sait Lake Valley, saw mil
lions of acres of land that yielded no
other vegetalle but the "everlasting ar
ternisa," or wormwood a pretty sure in
dication that the soil abounded largely in
potash. He also saw other tracts so satu
rated with the carbonate of soda as to be
utterly useless for cultivation, and still
other large tracts entirely covered with
"chloride of soda," or common salt mil
lions of bushels overspread the soil the
salt equal in quality to the best manufac
tured at Syracuse.
In New England we have thousands
upon thousrds cf acres of laud to im
pregnated with the talis of! iron, that
many cf our Cultivated crops' fail to bo
profitably grown upon them. Heavy
liming and manuring will make such lands
tolerably productive ; but lime at 1,50
per barrel, and manure at S4 per cord
would make the improvement of such soils
too expensive.
The pflVr.t nf n oac f cT,0 lime
and iron, upon the croDs in anv soil, us
far as my observation extends, is very
ml
similar. Indian corn may vegetate and
grow as long as the young plant obtains
its nutriment from the parent seed, but
as soon as it begins to absorb from the
soil, the leaves assume a reddish, pur
plish hue; the main root is corroded and
cut off as if done by a worm ; the first or
lower leaves rust and dry up, and gene-

Chapter on YInc-Makln
As grape culture has become an
stitution " of this countrA, I
propose to
matve a iew remarks on-domestic ' vnna
making for the benefit of your grape
growing readers.
In order to make the best ,wine that
the kind of grape grown will admit, al
low the fruit to remain cn the till fully
matore, then pick carefully, and remove
from the clustars all unripe or imperfect
grapes ; then put your selected, beat ones
into a tight cask well cleaned in small
i i
quantities; say about a bushel at a time,
which are to be moshed with a common
clothes pounder, or a sirailar instrument
till the puJp ami seeds become well sep
rrated, and the juice ol the grapes an
thoroughly expressed.
My remarks will be confined to win
making by those who merely desiae to
make a barrel or less lor home consum
ption ;" and who are not expected u Lo
provided with the facilities that professed
wine makers possess
Having pounded the first basket ot
grepes, turn trie contents or tne cask in
another vessel, and proceed as befortt
till all your grapes are beaten or mashed
when you may proceed to express the
must or pure juice of the grape, eniirely
seperated from the skins, pulp and net-dj
of the fruir.
In the absence of a wine press, this
may be done by placing the mash in &
strong bag, made of strainer cloth, and
then press out the must in any manner
that may be the most feasible. For ex
pressing a few gallons, it may be done
with the mere hands, but when a barrel
or more is made, some lever should be
brought to bear upon the bag, in order to
express the most of the must.
My system of applying the lever is- ai
follows: I r.t set a large wash-tub against
the studding of the side of my barn floor,
upon which I lay a board, updu the centre
of which the lag of rcash is placed. I
then nail a strip of plank to a stud, of
the right height to receive the end of the
Wer, which is made of plank, and about
eirht inches wide where it rem:- in ccn
wittt the b:r, nd .i vu;- .;: IV,; :
long, beinz tapered off irorn tlia lxz la
four inches wiJ? at tha har.die, Th
pressure exerted by such a lever, will Ui
apt to rend the bag, unless quite strong,
and but very little must will be lust, thro
the cheapness of such a temporary press.
On this plan enough grapes may bo
mashed, and the must expressed, to make
a barrel of wine, in half a day, by onu
person.
: The next questicn is, what is to be done
with the must, whether it be five, ten, cr
thirty gallons? Shall sugar or spirits of
any kind be added to it?
It is contended by seme people, that by
adding anything at all to the pure juice
of the grape, it destroys the value of the
wine in their estimation, and makes rather
a cordial than wine.
Mr. Longworth, the celebrated wine
maker of Ohio, adds nothing whatever to
the must of the Catawba grape, frou
which most of the Ohio domestic wines
are made. He puts the must of a score
or more of vineyards into a large cistern,
then drains it off into large ca&ksfor fer
mentation, alter which the wine is bottled,
and in due time time sent to market; but
io no case, 1 believe, till it is a year oil.
But Mr. Longworth's wines are .not
palatable to most American tastes, atid
are considered by many people as but a
grade better than our best bottled cider,
although he finds sale for large quanti
ties at 85 to &8 per dozen bottles. Nor
are the wines of other Ohio grape-growers,
who adhere to the pure juice pnnci?
pie, any better.
The addition of sugar the pure gran,
ulated, or best white coffee, should be
used, if any, at the rate cf two to threo
pounds per gallon '.he latter quantity
preferred in all csss,. ;vaeff the expetue
ii not considered. 4
Tha next question is, s"..U ccy kind of
sPirus be ueai oame wint- maker.cwi
tend that it is impossible to make a really
gotl w".ie without adding spirits. I have
mY opinion on that point, which is, in a
measure, that it greatly depd3 on -the
variety of. grape used, wnetner spinvoi
any kind is absolutely necessary, in order
to make a re any good wine, a3 the lest
judges would pronounce it. There are
some varieties of grape from wnicn, in my
opinion, it is impossible to make goou
wine without tne addition oi spirits.
while other kinds make a saleable wine
without it. If spint3 be used, let itfbe
alcohol, which is without flavor, or what
is called "pure spirits," which is a much
cheaper article, not half bo strong, and
also wholly free from any flavor aside
from that of rfrensth. It is not treneral-
