Sweet Potatoes.
Best and Most Successful Mode of
Cultivating and Preserving.
Editor Southern Cultivator:—Much is
being said in the agricultural papers on
every subject except the sweet potato,
which I think one of the most important
crops raised South, and a crop that has
been shamefully neglected. I shall try
in a few words to give you my plan of
growing them, which I think will give
any of the readers of the Cultivator suc
cess, if they try it. In the first place, I
select for bedding just such potatoes as
suit my taste, viz: rather large and dong,
and of smooth skin, of the pure yellow
yam. To prepare the bed, I spade up
sufficient space, which should be of rich
mellow earth, and raised several inches
high. I then put on a good layer of sta
ble manure, then rich earth about one
inch thick, then the potatoes, about three-
fourths inch apart, then rich earth again,
finishing with a heavy coating of manure.
As soon as the potato begins to sprout,
the top-coating of manure should be ta
ken off, and more earth well pulverized
put on.
In the next place, I select land of a
dark color—where there is but little or no
red ^clay. About the 25th of March I
plough this land 10 inches deep, break
ing it up broadcast. When the potato
slips are large enough for planting, I
prepare my rows, by laying them off
feet apart, and ploughing from 12 to 14
inches deep, and am careful not to have a
high bed, as was the custom before the
war, and is now with many planters.
In cultivatingthem, the first ploughing
is done with a bull-tongue, which is put
in the ground as deep as a good mule can
take it; then I hoe out well, and keep
the grass out all the year. The next
ploughing is done with a turning plough,
put in the furrow made by the bulltongue
throwing the dirt to the potato, and
this ploughing continued till the middles
are broken out, and ever afterwards cul
tivated with sweep and hoe.
As to gathering—after the first frost,
if the ground is not wet, I gather my
crop—haul the potatoes where I expect
to bank them, and if the weather per
mits, I let them lay out three or four
days, in piles of about ten bushels each
—taking care to cover them at night, and
tearing down the piles every morning—
This process is continued till the pota
toes cease to sweat, and then properly
banked away, where they will remain
good for 20 months.
Many wait till several frosts have fall
en. This plan, I think, is a ruinous one,
as I believe all of the sap of the vine
makes back to the potato as soon as the
frost touches it; in which case, yon have
a watery potato to eat till they all rot,
which they will do, no matter how well
you put them up. The low beds retain
the rain, while the high, drawn-up beds
become as diy as powder, and are never
wet 2 inches deep by the heaviest rains :
therefore plough deep, and low beds will
make your potatoes. I made at the rate
of 540 bushels per acre last year.

Bolton’s Depot, Miss., March 12, 1874.
An Important Law.
The following law was passed by the
last Legislature:
An Act to provide for the correct assess
ment of taxable propei ty in this State.
Sec. 1. Be it enacted, etc., That from
and after the passage of this Act it shall
be the duty of the Tax Receiver in each
county in this State, in each and every
year, at the fall term of the Superior
Court in Lis county, to lay before the
grand jury his returns for that year of
the taxable property in his said comity,
and it shall be the duty of the grand jury
to overlook the same, and whenever they
find an undervaluation to correctly assess
the same, ac-coi’ding to the market valua
tion of the property, and return to the
Receiver his returns with the corrections
which they have made.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That
when the Receiver shall receive his re
turns for the next succeeding year and
the corrected returns made by the grand
jury, it shall be his guide for that year,
and if the tax-payer shall return his pro
perty below r the valuation made by the
grand jury, the Receiver and tax payer,
each, shall select an arbitrator, and these
two shall select an umpire, to whom the
question of valuation shall be referred,
and their award shall be returned to the
Receiver, and shall be entered by him as
the valuation of said tax-payer’s pro
perty.
Sec. 3. Be it further enacted, That it
shall be the duty of the .Judges of the
Superior Courts, at each fall term, to give
this Act iu special charge to the grand
juries, that they may be informed of the
duties which this Act imposes on them.
Sec. 4. Repeals conflicting Lews.
r.tten by a young lady for the “ Union A Recorder.’
I’ve said to-morrow’s pelting storm.
That beats agaiDgt my breast,
Rage on, thou may’st destroy this form
And lay it low at l est -,
But frtili the spirit that now brooks,
Tliy tempest raging high,
Undaunted on its fury looks
W ith,stead fist eye.
Reform and Prosper.
Editob Southern Cultivator.—I have
recently received a private letter from an
intelligent friend, that I consider too good
in the main to be lost; I therefore, as
sume the responsibility of publishing it,
aud also of italicizing some of his expres
sioi®. I should like to give his name, but
will not, as I am not authorized:
‘Mb. Oliphast:—That part of your ar
ticle on page 7, of the January No, of the
Cultivator, relative to the practice among
us of renting land to negroes, str ikes me
so forcibly, and is so full of truth, and so
timely, that I cannot resist the inclination
to thank, and to shake hands with you.
Fanners may write of rotation, subsoil
ing, specific manures, rural economy, Ac.,
but all to no purpose, so long as ignor
ance controls intelligence, energy, and
capital. You, in the paragraph referred
to* above, have struck at the root of the
barrier to progressive farming in the
South.—The “Cultivator,” and our wor
thy and devoted Editor, tells us monthly
what to do; but we have not the labor
wherewith to follow this good advice.
And if the class having the brains, the
energy, the experience and the money,
cannot control their farms, will they not
lose their interest in them; and conse
quently, in progression, at least, practi
cally? And will they not lose interest,
and fail to invest in that—best of all in
vestments—the “Cultivator”? The “Cul-.
tivator” and progressive agriculture are
interdependent; if one succeeds the other
will, if one fails the other must. The
Southern farmer has often ljeen reproach
ed for his slothfulness, routine and un
progressive farming; and now’ our Editor
says, the “progressive Southern farmer
stands in the very front rank of agricul
turists”—but progress is at an end when
the farming interest of the country is con
trolled os it is now, by ignorant negroes
all over the South.
This, my dear sir, is a subject of pri
mary importance, and should be pressed
upon the people; and I know of no one
who seems to feel it more than you, or
w’ho writes more to the point; then why
not make an effort to bring about a change?
Others may come to your aid, and in the
end good may result from it."
Very respectfully,
The folly of the course the people of
Georgia were wont to pursue, in- failing
to conserve their material interests, and
the gradual happy change for the better
which is beginning to be felt in this re
spect all over the State, has, time and
again attracted intelligent men at home
and abroad. Regarding this interesting
theme, we notice the following sensible
paragraph, from the New Jersey Mechan
ic which says.
“Georgia now manufactures all the plain
cotton yams required in that State and
in the State of South Carolina and Ala
bama. This is progress to some purpose.
Now let herwork up her timber into buck
ets, tubs, wagons and the like. Let her
make railroad iron, stoves, plows and farm
implements. With the best timber in the
world, she is buying sash, doors and
mouldings at the North; and a large part
of her wheat comes from St. Louis.
The hint is valuable. Let us not fail
to profit by it—Index.
Cameron Pursues Sumner to His
Grave.—Mrs. Mary Clemmer Ames, in
one df her Washington letters to the
Independent, says that the gift of flowers
sent by the colored attendant in the
ladies’ retiring parlor off the Senate
gallery to adorn the coffin of Mr. Simmer,
reached the room of Senator Cameron
that same evening and was sent by him,
with his compliments, to a lady stopping
at a hotel She adds: “I would rather
be weeping for the despoiled offer
ing to departed honor, than the woman
who received it or the Senator who sent
it. ‘A tribute from Kate Brown to the
martyred Senator, who has gone to reap
his reward.' I must believe that by
gome mistake it was earned to Mr. Came
ron’s room. Bnt how in keeping, that
the man who despoiled the greatest
Senator of his honors in life should rob
him in daath eren of the flowers upon
his ooffln."
The Way to Encourage Immigra
tion.
Major Melcliers, the State Commis.
sioner of Immigration, in a circular letter
to the commissioners in the interior,
says:
I have been assured by competent au
thority that with ten thousand dollars,
and fifty thousands acres of land donated
some ten thousand families may be
brought to the State by next winter.
Without inducement to offer to immi
grants none will come, as the West and
other Southern States are in the field to
get all the immigrants that come. Ten
nessee, for instance, has offered a hundred
thousand acres of land gratis, to be di
vided in alternate sections to immigrant
families; and Virginia has appropriated
fifteen thousands dollar s for the same
purpose. I am happy to say, that
some districts of the State the people
have offered lands at very low prices, and
given some gratis, but the movement
should be general, and every district
should do all in its power to induce immi
grants to settle in our State.”
Since issuing this letter, Maj. Melchers
has received ■information that Col. J. B.
Moore, of Statesbnrg, has donated three
thousand acres of land, to he given to
immigrants in alternate sections of fifty
acres. This gentleman comprehends the
situation. White immigration will not
remain in South Carolina as hired labor
ers. Their natural and proper desire is
to have farms of their ovrn. They will
come and stay if land be given them;
especially as more money will be made
here than in the exclusive grain-growing
States. Otherwise, they will continue to
go West.—Charleston Courier.
A Lively Letter fro.ii Gen. Sherman.
General Sherman has recently written the
following letter to the agent of a firm
who had applied to him for the contract
to place lightning-rods upon the fine
mansion which, it was rumored, he inten
ded to build upon Orange Mountain, New
Jersey:
Washington, D. C., Jan. 20,1874.
If you find the house I am erecting on
Orange Mountain, please put any quan
tity of lightning-rods, to attract the
lightning of heaven to demolish it. I
don’t care whether the rods be round,
square, or twisted. Anything to stop
this nonsense. Architects, landscape
gardeners, builders, See., keep writing to
me about this house, when, in fact, it is as
much as I can do to make ends meet here
—and finally I expect to content myself
with a log home on the prairies of Kansas
or Nebraska when Congress turns me out
to grass. Tell Mr. Lyon, “who served
under me three years," that his experience
as a soldier should convince him that
Uncle Sam is not so generous to old sol
diers as to enable them to have fancy
houses on Orange Mountain or elsewhere.
I have a house here, but the city taxes
me for it about as much as Uncle Sam al
lows me for rent. How the story got cir
culated that I was going t o build on
Orange Mountain passes my understand
ing, and if you can stop it I will regard it
as a feat better than protecting me
against lightning. Yours, &c.,
W. T. Sherman.
Happening in the peaceful town of
Albany, six or seven years ago, and just
after the election had come off between
Tift and Whitely, the following circum
stance w r as told: The judges for that’
county were all impecunious Radicals,
and their party had carried the county by
a sufficient majority to elect Whitely;
bnt before making their final report they’
offered the box for sale at §3,000. A col
lection was taken up and §2.000 raised
without going to Tift. But when he
was called upon he ran his ey’c down the
column, and seeing that §200 was the
highest subscribed by any one man, prrt
down that amount. The judges at first
stood firm for the original price, but
after a good deal of backing and filling
finally agreed to take it. Meantime a
majority of the subscribers had heard of
the stinginess of Tift, took down their
money or promises of it, and retired in
disgust.
But Mr. Tift, in a letter to that paper
dated Albany, March 30. very cruelly
stamps all the life out of it, so far as he is
concerned, by declaring:
“That I have been several times nomina
ted by the Democratic party, and elected to
public office; that I Have never, either by
myself or others, attempted to purchase
or corrupt a voter or a manager of an
election, and that the story related by
your correspondent is without foundation
in fact.”'
Jayne Going Back on a Friend.—John
P. Atkinson, a New York street broker
and discharged custom house officer,
was arrested Saturday on the charge of
attempting to stab special agent B. G.
Jayne. Jayne asserts that this is the

his life, and gives in explanation that he
cansed his dismissal from the custom

only sought to defend himself from an
assault by Jayne, seizing^his uplifted cane
and threatening to stab him if it was
used, and that the whole affair grew out
of a demand by him for the payment of
$35,000 informer’s fees in the Weld
revenue case at Boston, which Jayne had
resolutely refused to pay, denying the
validity of the claim.

DIRECT TRAiDE.
Circular to the President of Railroads and
other Transportation Companies, May
ors of cities and Presidents of Boards
of Trade and Chambers of Commerce
in the Southern and Western Shit
Dear Sir: As one of the “consulting
co-operative committee,” consisting of
the Governor of the State, Presidents
of Railroads and other Transportation
Companies, Mayors of cities, Presidents
of Boards of Trade and Chambers of Com
merce, to aid in the establishment of the
‘Liverpool, Savannah and Great Western
Transportation Line.” you arc especially
and earnestly requested to meet the con
vention, in the hall of the House of Re
presentatives, in Atlanta, Georgia, on the
first Tuesday in May next, at 11 'o’clock
A. M.
The Transportation Line has been form
ed "by an agreement of railroads, from
Savannah lo several points on and be
yond the Mississippi river, and includes
a daily line of steamboats on the Missis^
sippi river between St. Louis and Ticks
burg. The agent appointed by the rail
road companies to establish this line—
Nelson Tift, of Georgia—will leave for
Europe about the last of May, to secure
the necessary steamship to complete the
line, and it is expected to be in full opera
tion in time for the growing crops, or the
first of October next.
The object of this meeting of the com
mittee is for general consultation, and
final determination on all the important
subjects, connected with the enterprise.
Among them, the questions to be determ
ined by the railroad interests will be, the
characters of the ships to be employed;
the terms of their employment or union
with the line; the appointment of an exe
cutive committee, and prescribing their
duties; the manner of appointing agents
for the line on both sides of the Atlantic,
their duties and compensation; the fa
cilities required for handling and ship
ping Western produce, grain, etc, at the
port of Savannah, etc. Other important
objects are to bring together such local
and general information as can be obtain
ed regarding the amount and character
of the business which would be done
over this line when established—exports,
imports and passengers; the probable de
mand for immigrant passengers; the op
portunity for favorable investment of for
eign capital in the various industries of
this country, etc. All important facts bear
ing upon any of these subjects will lie
useful and are solicited.
The effort in which we are engaged to
establish direct trade with foreign coun
tries by a regular line of steamships from
a Southern Atlantic port, is worthy of
our best energies and of such sacrifices of
time and money as may be necessary to
success.
In consideration of the importance of
the meeting tojwhichyou are invited, we re
spectfully request that railroad companies
will pass you free to and from the meet
ing,“ on the certificate of the body over
which you preside.
Very respectfully,
James M. Smith, Governor,
Joseph E. Brown,
Pres’t W. & A. R. R. Co,
S B. Spencer,
Mayor of Atlanta,
BenjE. Crane,
Pres’t Chamber of Com,
Committee.
Nelson Tift, Agent.

A Dissolving Party.
Men in such a crisis as the present are
nothing save as indexes of a system. It
The “Chronicle” of a recent date con
tained the following telegraphic dispatch
“Washington, Feb. 12.
' “ Senator Sprague to-day presented a
petition from Beloe A. Lockwood. Hattie
J. French, and E. C. Curtis, of Washing
ton City, asking Congress to allow them
to make an excavation to the depth of 20
feet on Goat Island, in San Francisco
harbor, for the purpose of removing some
minerals supposed by them to be there
deposited, and of which they say they
have a description. One of the petitioners
is a well known spiritual medium.”
Whereupon the “ Territorial Enter
prise” of Virginia -City thus throws some
light upon the subject in a local article:
•• We presume that we can state the ob
ject of these petitions. Seme three or
four year’s ago, in San Francisco, it was
reported by some persons professing to
believe in spiritualism, tliat the spirit of
an old Spanish pirate used to appeal - at
seances and tell of buried treasure on
Goat Island. Tho amount said to be
buried there was large—somewhere about
820,000,000—all in doubloons. This was
brought in from time to time by pirates,
and deposited in the long ago, when the
buccaneers from the Spanish main were
undeterred by any flags that floated on
the high seas. This stoiy was told fre
quently, and finally the spiritualists who
were to find the treasure and divide it up
among themselves became so numerous
that they quarreled over its prospective
division. Eventually the spiritualists be
came divided into two parties—one com-
posed of native-born and the other of
Irish birth—between whom a bitter feel
ing prevailed. The native born spiritual
ists became impressed with the idea that
if they undertook to hunt for the buried
treasure, they would be attacked by the
Irish, and so they stated their fears to
some men who were not spiritualists, and
asked them to join the expedition, prom
ising them an equal share in the treasure
if they would go as fighters. At this time
each party watched the other closely, and
finally, one dark and stormy night, two
boats, each manned by the rival spiritual
faction, started for Goat Island to dig for
the treasure. The boat manned by the
native born found the weather too rough
to proceed, so some of the party after
ward reported, and returned to San Fran
cisco. But the other boat reached the
island and the diggers commenced their
excavations.
After awhile an Irishman, at work in
r hole, jumped ont, declaring that a Span
iard with a drawn sword was after him.
The party fled amid a shower of rocks,
one of which struck one of the party,
knocking him senseless. The Irishmen
hiuiiod into their boats as soon as possi
ble and left for San Francisco, arriving
safely. We shall always entertain the
opinion, their asseverations to the contra
ly notwithstanding; that these Irishmen
were attacked by the Americans, whose
boat, we suspect, went over at the same
time theirs did. But this is all the search,
we believe, which has ever been made for
the magnificent sum of §20,000,000. ‘all
in doubloons.’ ”
Feeling it a duty to lay before the read
ers of the “Chronicle" the latest news
from the spiritual world, as is our custom
in regard to this mundane sphere, a rep
resentative was at once dispatchei in
search of the “ medium to or through
whom the intelligence was conveyed to
earth's inhabitants. After much search
the individual was found and her state
ment taken down verbatim.
I am a medium. I write with plair
chett, and I see those who come to com
municate. I have always seen them from
a child, and am not afraid. On the even
ing of Sunday, March 17,1872, one of my
ghostly visitors appeared before me. He
was a tall, thin, sallow looking man, with
big, dark eyes, resembling in appearance
Don Placido Vega. He had on what we
used to call a Kossuth hat, but without
a feather. He wore a long, dark colored
and very wide cloak, reaching nearly to
his feet, which were encased in long boots
coming above the knee. In his right hand
he held a lantern, and in bis left a machete
or short Mexican sword. He signified a
desire to communicate, and when furnish
ed with the means wrote as follows :
*T am Don Abecco Monte Janeiro.—
What you call the Island for the Goats is
mine. Many, many years ago I have there
bury muchotesoro.”
“Is it there yet ?”
“Even so. If the railroad shall make
of this a city they will find my gold.”
“What do you want done about it i”
“ I wish not they shall unearth my gold.
Listen ; if they shall do so, when the sun
shall shine on my treasure it shall not

tives. This policy is the burden that is j land ? If they do so the fiends will laugh,
breaking the back of the Republican par-! and they shall all be destroyed, and their
ty. The Credit Mobilier was the first
blunder, because it put the whole party
cn the defensive, and weakened public
confidence in many of the leaders of both
sides. Then came the dangerous prac
tice of making appointments only to
please Congressmen and Senators, in
utter defiance of the public will. Service
not for the party, but for a politician,
flattery of power, not competency for
office, were the road to office. Experienc
ed men were driven to retirement by job
bers and speculators. Corrupt Legisla
tures in the States and dishonest local
governments, illustrated by the sudden
wealth of the worst characters, led to a
final consolidation of the officeholders and
their dependents against the great body
of the people everywhere. It is in vain
to denoimce men as long as the system is
allowed to remain. Massachusetts feels
the burden and resolves to throw it off.
Pennsylvania has borne it for years, and
every independent Republican in the
State has protested against it, but so far
in vain. There is not a Republican pa
per in Philadelphia to-day that has not
denounced it. But the present power of
the combination is greater than it has
ever been; never has the general danger
been so imminent; and yet, as if to prove
this statement, never has the submission
to this despotism been so complete. The
chains are drawn so tight and riveted so
close that the victims are afraid to gr oan,
and so purchase relief by praises of their
oppressors. President Grant does not
hesitate to denoimce the reckless men
whaare bankrupting the South. Senator
Carpenter declares against the wretched
administration of Louisiana, and Mr.
Dawes points to the decreasing revenues
and increasing debt of the general gov
ernment.

“Suppose they do not take your island
—will it make any difference ?
“Not yet ?”
“Where did you get the gold ?’’
"We did battle for it under the black
flag. They tbink the rock on the island is
solid and that it will long endure, but it
is not so.”
"Where is the money buried ?”
"I cannot describe the place—you are
not familiar with the ground.”
“Is it on this side of the island ?”
“No.”
“Is it far from the shore ?”
• “Yes. Since it was buried the earth has
shaken many times, and now it is deeper
and the rock has closed over it, It is un>
der what appears to be rock on the island,
there are pools whose depth no man can
fathom.”
Tins was all the medium had to say
upon the subject, and the Chronicle rep-
osentative was convinced there was noth
ing in it to warrant Congressional interfere
ence, and it is more than probable that
Den Abecco will be allowed to remain in
quiet possession of his twenty millions.

plied to a wealthy person for help, and
received the small sum of five cents. The
giver remarked, as he handed him the
pittance’, “Take it, you are welcome; our

“That may be,” replied the recipient,
“but never before in my life have I seen
so small an opening for such large ears.”
General Joe Johnson thinks the South
failed in the late war because the finances
were badly managed. The South failed
in the late war because, as Fredrick the
Great declared, “mighty battles are fought
beyond the stars.” It was written in the
Book of Fate, and the South would have
failed, finance or no finance.—Augusta

of Fate is written in a language which we
never understood. Upon the whole, we
