(iOtHO TOO FAST. While we are disposed to oonoar with the 1 >emocratio Convention of Tennessee in recommending the endorsement st Baltimore of the nominations of Messrs. Greeley and Brown, we are far from ap proving tbe unconditional support that seems to have been pledged to the Lib eral Republican nominees. It is pithily the policy of Democrats everywhere to refrain from such committals at prasent; and the very act of electing delegates to Baltimoro made it tbe duty of tbe Ten nessee Democrats to hold themselves free to nccept any nominees that the Demo cratic National Convention may select. But wo find that the reeolatione of the Tennessee Convention contain no pledge to ubido by tho notion of tbe DfiPocrata at Baltimore, and that s proposed amend ment pledging such support waa voted down by u large majority ! Before the voto on the adoptiou of the resolution which we copied on Sunday (approving the nomination of Greeley end Brown, uud deprecating Democratic opposition to them), the following proceedings oc curred : ascertained by it, in regard to tho accept ance by the Baltimore Convention of tho Cincinnati nominee*. Its teat embraces the names of 162 Democratic papers iu all acetiona of the country, and we find the numbers embraced in its eevoral classifications as follows •„ In favor of a xtraiulil-out Democratic ticket,” 45 Mr. Tyler, of Shelby, offered the fol lowing resolution : But this committee will add that while they are willing to support the Cincinnati nominees,- they recommend that this Convention shall nevertheless declare that Ten u ensue Democrats will abide tbe nomination at Baltimore, if the Demo cratic party iu convention saaembled shall del ermine to make such a nomination. Mr. .Inutes, of Hamilton, moved to lsy the umoudrueut on the table, which, upon the vote being taken by counties, was curried—yeas 553, noes 266. The Tennessee Convention not ouly acted thus hastily iu committing itself to the Cincinnati nominees, but it appoint- cd one or more Republicans aa Delegates to Baltimore, and it tnrns out that it made a mistake in supposing one of these to bo a Liberal Republican. In the Chat- tanooga Herald (Bard's paper) of Satur day wo find an “authorized" announce ment that Capt. Wm. Crqtchfield, ono of the delegates to Baltimore selected by the TennesKeo Democratic Convention, is not for Greeley and Brown, bat will support Grant! lie generously declines to take advantage of the mistake made, saying that he will refuse to receive his creden tials. But tho simple disclosure of the mistake made at Nashville in appointing him ought to be u sufficient admonition of the folly of all kinds of batty action— ns well in tho selection of delegatee i unconditional pledges to support Greeley and Brown without waiting to too what the Democratic National Convention ia going to do about it. We do not think that either the descriptive classification or the division of the press in aocordauee with it in en tirely correct, #o far aa the Southern Democratic papers ere concerned. The position of the first class, we presume, is correctly stated—“in favor of a straight- out Democratic ticket"; but in this clas sification wo find two Georgia journals which we are satisfied are w rongly placed there, and whose true position ia in the second class, viz , the Savannah Republi can and the Griffin lines. Tho second classification (in which we fiud our own paper) is correct so far as we know and far as it goes ; but it should be added, iu respect to quite a number of tho papers put in it, that they indicate a ready willingness to accept the Cincinnati nom inees. Such we believe to be the positiou of the following Georgia and Alabama papers put iu the seoond classification : Augusta CohUitutionalist, Macon Tele graph, Columbus Enquirer, Montgomery Advertiser, Selma Jinn*, Mobile Register; also the Richmond Enquirer, Charleston Courier, Haleigh Sentinel, Columbia South Carolinian, Nashville I 'nionA American, Vicksburg Herald, and Louisville Courier- Journal—all daily papers. Of the views of the 21) Democratic papers put down as unconditionally for the Ciucinuati nomi nees, we are not otherwise informed, as we do not exchange with a siugle one of thorn. They are mostly Not thorn and Western paper?. Tho latest advices from Northern Mexi co indicate the complete demoralization of tho late aggressive and aucceasful revo lutionists. Trevino was retreating, and aoveral Juarist armies were in pursuit of him. Tho revolutionists are said to be without food or clothing, and when cloeely confronted by tho approaching Govern went troops, they will be unable to forage for subsistence. It appears to be another iuatanco of tbe breaking down of a formid able revolution for the lack of money or credit. Such instances ought to admon ish all contemplating such movements to snake Home reliablo arrangements of a financial character before commencing hostilities. Tho Now Orleans Price Current eaye that the heavy rains of April caused a wider breadth of land to be put id corn then planters would have devoted to it had the season been favorable to cotton; also that the appearances of- the Hugtr crop are at present decidedly unpromising. The Kadicsls of the Connecticut Legis lature have in caucus nominated Ex-Gov. lfawloy as their candidate for United Btates Senator. But abont thirty ltepub- licans would not go into the caucus, and it is said that these members (friends of Ferry, moderate Republican) and tbs Democrats will have the majority. The Democrats nominated Ex-Gov. Eaglieb, hut may finally support Ferry. Tho Baltimore American, whose editor is ono of the Nutional Republican Eiecu- iive Committee, and chairman of tbe Htutc liepnblican Committee of Maryland, published on Friday au editorial, calling upon the Fhiladelphia Convention to unito the party, end intimating that the only way iu which this can be done-is to select another candidate than Grant. This is regarded as very significant. Information Abes! Cette*. We copy the following circular, issued by tho Department of Agriculture, from iho Charleston Courier: Department of Agriculture, > Washington, D. C., May 4, 1672.) Hon. 0. ir.

Editor Enquirer: “A. II. S." of tho Atlauta Sun, assert* tliut the act of Mr. Greeley in taking Jiffernon Davis out of prisoo was no uoblcr than the threat of Gcu. Grant to Stautou tliut he would re sign bis office in the army if ho arrestod and imprisoned Gcu. It. E. Lee. The net of Mr. Groeley ami the threut of Gen. Grant are very dissimilar in thoir piotives and nobility of character. Tho word and honor of Gcu. Graiit had been given to Gen. Loe, iu writing, that neither lie nor his officers and Soldiers would be molested so long as they complied with the terms of the surrender. No word of houor had ever passed from Mr. Greeley to Mr. Davis, of any kiud. In Gen. Grants case, the word and honor of a soldier hod been given to a soldier, and Grant, to Have his honor, made the threat he did to Stanton. So yon see it w&h to save Grant's honor as soldier, and not that* he cared whether Gen. Lee wsh in or out of priHon. It was to eave Grant, for the true soldier is always a stickler for tbe preservation of his honor and the redemption of bis word when pledged to another soldier. Grant's threat to Stautou sprung from motive* of deep interest to himself ; therefore his motives were low and servile. Greeley's act was free from all constraining inllu- encea; therefore it was a noble and un adulterated and humane act of the highest character. “A. H. 8. saya he would prefer defeat to victory with Greeloy and Brown. That is, if be cannot elect a Democrat, lot Grant, with all tho misrule, militury rule, despotism, oppression, end thieving gang remain in office ; that North Carolina and South Carolina may be more degraded und their citizens tormented to a more lacera ting degree ; that there may be no justice meted out to the South, no removal of political disabilities, no local self-govern ment free from tho control of centralized power, no supremacy qf the civil over tbe military authority, no peace, no quiet, and no aecurity of any kind from des potism. Suppose Greeley has been against us in the past, shell we reject him becanse he is with us and for ns now ? If he is our friend uow, shall we rejeet him because he was once our enemy ? The question that most interests the Southern people to know and act upon is, not what Mr. Greeley baa done in the past, but what ho proposes to do for the South and country now. He proposes to give us general amnesty, remove military rule, leave us to manage cur local affairs, restore peace and quiet and good will, aud root out ull dishonesty in the affairs of the Govern ment ; for it is conceded that he is an honest man. With his energy, his in dustry, and his power of endurance, he will see all and know all. I am for the man that can beat Grant, be he whom he may. Habpxb. He i« sanguine of the snocess of tho bill uow before Congress, granting aid to this gront enterprise. This bill requires tho Government of the United States to en dorse the bonds of the Company, uud guarantee the payment of the interest until tho completion of the work ; the amouut of the guarantee by the Govern ment to bo eighty thousand dollars per mile. The Company do net proposo to do the carrying trade themselves, uud therefore there run be no monopoly or unjust dis crimination against way freights, which gives no much cause of complaint against tho railroads of tho State. Everybody who denies to, can put a barge upon the cuual, p'lviug the low rate of toll provided by tbe bill, that being five mills on a ton per mile. The expense of building u oannl boat with a capacity of two hundred tons, will not exceed two hundred and fifty or three hundred dollars. Ordinary farmers, with small menus, can own their own boat and transport their crops to markot with their farm teams dtiriug the full uud winter. We have heard the ques tion frequently m.kod, What length of time will it take to conipluto the work ? Col. Frobel’s opinion is that if Congress passes the hill this xosaiou, thereby afford ing the Company abundant means to push tho work forward, that it may bo com pleted iu two yearn. Tho important questiou now is, What is the prospect of Mien h* ? The bill is now upon its third rending and has been referred to tho Committee on Commerce, who aro waiting tho re port of Col. MnFurhind, tho ougiuorr ap pointed by tlio War Depart to superintend this survey.

Auolhor important fact is that there is every rea son to suppose that the Buell record, when taken from the box in the Bureau of Militury Justice, aud sent over to tho War Department building, waa deposited ' in the file room of the department aud j never returned, from the fact that uo ouo recollects that it was returned, and from the strongest und almost conclusive evi- dunce thut it was iu that room that tho few papors that wore found of the record were discovered. The file*>room, it ap- pours, was iu charge of Colonel Loot, of recent goueral order notoriety, and it was from this room that Badoau carriod off four or five chests full of documents to examine in tho White House at his leisure while writing his biography of General Grant. None of the pupem he took from tbe room appear to buvo bueu returned. No trace of them can be fouud. Fortu nately a record romaius of such papers as were letters, so thut it is known who wrote tho letters, to whom they were written, and the subjects ; but there was no re cord kept, it appours, of the proceedings of Militury Courts of Inquiry like thut which investigated General Buell’s cam paigns. Of letters Mono, Badesu took over f*ix hundred, all of them of great importance, and rnuiiy of them indispensable to a full knowledge of the great military move ments of tbe wur. The most ningulur part of tho utl'uir is that when the Adju tant General requested of Badoau the papers he had taken, ho replied that ho had already returned them, when he hod not. It iu impossible to k«o how he could have been mistaken uud supposed he had Kcut them buck wlieu such was uot the cuso.

What became of them mystery which finds no satisfactory explanation. The Militury Committee, in conducting the investigation, continues to sil with closed doors, for tho purpose of keeping from the public the information elicited, "'his course, it is said, was taken nt tho instuuoo of the chairman, Gen.

The machine wan running pretty bibkly und she was feeding it with her left hand as usual, when something in tho sired attracted her attention through tho window', and she ruined her eyes from tho machine a moment to look out, but w-ithont stopping her work, and just as she did so, she ac cidently plaood the forefinger of her hand uuder the needle, und it pierced entirely tbrongh tho end of her finger nail, and fastened it to the cloth on which she was sewing. The pniu vuu so intense that she swooned,and her friends sprang to her assiRtaiico and released her h uni from the machine by turning the screw' that holds the needle iu its place. Dr. Fope was sent for, who drew tho needle out and restored tho lady to conciousness from her swoon. It must buvo been exceedingly painful. The Crops.—We had a conversation yesterday with Mr. Win. Doughtie, ono of oar best and most experienced planters, in regard to the condition of crops in the lower portion of Barbour and upper por tions of Henry and Dute counties. Mr. D. had just returned from a jaunt through tho section of country named, and spoke from personal observation. He says that an a general thing there is a bad Rtsnd of cotton, owing more than anything else to the recent dry spell, and which still continues. Tho heeds are in ground, but for want of rain they have not yet sprouted oud come up. Those who planted c ott m just before • the lust rain hxyo goupially pretty good stands and the plant js looking well, but very small for this time of the yeur. Indeed, Mr. D.

Mr. Tom Me Tyro, who is working the Ghembsrs place, about six miles below Sofatfls, has a forty acre patch of ootton Which Mr. D. thinks is farther advanced and looks better than any patch of cotton in Southeastern Alabama.

Li.TTKU lit X0NT6UNKRV ULAIIt. Montgomery Blair has written tho fol lowing letter on the Cincinnati Conven tion, uud the future course of the Dem ocratic party. It is adddrossed to a prom inent Democrat in Baltimore: Washington, May 7th, 1872. Wo will have to lake Greeley or Grunt, and wo will take Greeley, reluctantly, of ourse, but not the lens certainly. Aud he will be the more certaiu of election, bucimtio the Democrats do uot wish to mu- hruco at first. As for thoir running a candidate of their own, that would be both disastrous und disgraceful. They all o in thoir adhesion to the Cincinnati Convention, und tho most obstreperous of Greeley’s opponents had their candidute before that convention. Mr. Voorhees, for example, was loud iu his advocacy of Judge Duvih ; and the World was earnest in preK<iitig Adams. Now there can be no great or departure from principle in sup porting Greeley than iu support ing Davis or Adams, or any other Radical. There can be, in fact, uo motive ussigued for the support of ono of theso men and the refuHul to support either of the otliors, but mere persouul preference. This is not statesmanship ; it is mere caprice, if not Koine thing worse, which men cannot in dulge in without the lo.ss of nublic confi dence. For my own part, I go for the movement initiated at Cincinnati to arrest tho further progress of Rudioulism. It is the ouly practical way of arresting. As for running in a straight Democratic tick et hotwecu Groeley aud Grant, thut is a dodge that will not be allowed to succeed. Thut can bo done only iu the small field of local politics, where tho contest be tween the roid aspirants is personal, and has become embittered. But the contest between the Republican and Democratic purties has always been a sectional con test, one purty representing the North and the other tho South ; aud whenever the contest returns to that character, tho llepubiicuu success is assured by tho cen sus. It in only by dividing the numerous North and allying itself with the more 11bond division, that the Democracy lep- rescuting tho 8outh can hope for the re covery of the right of self-government for itB section. The moment that tho De mocracy shall set up for itself, the North will close its ranks again ; and the ouly effect would be to saerafice the leaders iu the Liberal party who attempted to help us. This would disgrace uv, aud ho help to defeat us, not only now but heroafter. Of cour«e, there will be some honest Democrats who will not regard tbe sub ject iu this light, aud who will prefer to stand by their guns, Ac. ; but the noisiest fellows will be those who are in the pay of the Administration. Chandler suid re cently, X learn on good authority, that thero would be a straight Democratic ticket, aud he would give $25,04X1 to stait it himself. There aro a good many Dem ocrats of the Tweed order, ready to take his money uud help to keep the statu quo which is profitable to them—fellows who understand manipulating claims quietly— and the Administration has the publio purse at its disposal, and understands them aud how to make the most of them. There were over one hundred officeholders of them, Grant's emissaries, iu tho Cin cinnati Convention working for Adams ; they wero nearly all from Washington ; I can furnish the names of about fifty of them. The strategy of Grant’s friends was to secure for him the Irish vote by putting Adams on us, and so compensate for tho lo.ss of the Liberal Republican vote ; bht ho failed, and they are furious. the Senators to a new article to the treaty, withdrawing the chums for couHequeuiiM duiunges from the American statement of the ease, with the provision, in eubHtance, that wheuevor England or the United Htateu shall be at war aud the other a neutral, the belligerent will make no com plaints lor any indirect, remote or conse quential iu juries or losaoa resulting from a failure to observe neutral duties. As it is kuuwu thut Great Britain will agree to tho proposed new* article, and thut both Governments uro anxious to save the treaty by this means, it was thought prop er to place tho 8euate in pohsussioti ol nil the facts iu order that (ho executive, act ing upun thoir udvicc, might pursue tho negotiation ko^h to socuto the consumma tion of tho troaty iu a manner satisfactory to the two governments. There wus a brief debate alter the imuling of tho docu ments, involving tho merits of the ques- tiou.

London, May 1J1.—In tho llonse of Commons this evening Gladstone made his promined explanation of negotiations regarding uulrruct claims and tho positiou taken by the Government. Thu House its full and the galleries crowded. Gladstone, on ruling, was greeted with cheers, lie Raid in order to allow an op portunity for discUkKion on the statements he was about to make he would bring a fnrtnul motion tor tho adjournment of tho House. After alludiug iu tonus of prutne to the forbosruuctt shown by Furliameut during the controversy, ho suid ho would oomuieitoe his narrative of its progress with tho 18Ui of Jnuunry, the day whuii it first became known to him that claims for indirect damages had been presented at Goneva in the American case. Her Majes ty h Government protested on tho fid of February that indirect claims wore not within the scope of tho treaty of Wash ington nor within the iutunliou of either party to Iho treaty. 8ecrotary Fish re plied in April that ho thought tho Genovu Board ought to decide the cut ire question. Tho tone of Mr. Full's dispatches was moat courteous. In the moantimo a communication wus received from Mr. Hchonck, tho Amoiic..n Minister, suggesting another comae, which would bo ncccptablo to England amt America. This was au interchange of notes sotting forth the views, terms and conditions wherein both would ugruo to proceed to arbitration. Wo accepted this suggestion, continued Mr. Gladstone, and carried on u correspondence altogeth er by telegraph. On Wednesday, 8th instant, President Grant hubiuitlud a propoKitiou to the Uni ted States Seuute. ()u T'huradny wo as certained the proposition was not precise ly us we undcratuod it should be, because of the brevity of tho cable dispatch, on which it wuh based. On Friday a draft, covering tho letter of our views, was forwarded to Miuisfor Schenck, and although lengthy was im mediately tulegruphod by him to Wush- iugton. On Saturduy Mr. Hcheuck informed Lord Granville that tho President had accepted, uud tho Senate entertained that draft. Gladstone thought this fuel war ulinost equivalent to ratification. Hu bugged further forbearance of iho House now thut tho question was approaching a Kttt- isfuctory issue honorable uliku to both na tions. If HiicrefKftil in his negotiation, Her Majesty's Government had Iho right, to exnct praipe for settling a- niomeutotiH question. Tho IakI proposals on tho part of Grout Britain Kiistaim d tho position taken by the government in the Queou’s speech ut the beginning of the prohout ses sion. Gladstone, in concliiHion, said lie thought ho was not too Riuiguine in pre dicting that the negotialioUH would result iu u settlement which would redound to the credit of both parlies. As Gladstone took bis seat there was lotul and repeated cheers from nil parts of the House. Disraeli followed with thanks to the Premier for his statement. Ho should not seek to embarrass the government.— Whatever differences existed on other subjects, all parties wore united in a d*<- sire for u peaceful uud honoruble settle ment. In tho House of Lords Earl Granvillo made a statement similar to Gladstone's. Karl Russell again postponed his motion for au address to the Grown to withdraw from the arbitration. Ho hoped the quostiou was no longer one between the houor of the Grown and the re-election of President Grant. Earl Derby uud the Duke of Richmond expressed a hope that, tho new proposi tions of the British Government were un ambiguous.

Coffee Culture in LimsnrA.—A letter from Liberia states that the nxperiineut of cultivating coffee in that couutiy promises to bo very successful. The cof fee raised has been pronounced by com petent authority to lie equal in quality with any iu the world, uud superior to most.

The hull was remov ed from this by boating iu uu ordinary mortar, by which proL-oss you will discover many of the grains wero broken.

This would seem to be proof that this de scription of hey can be anooffplly and profitably grown here, which is uliko interesting to the cattle men of Texas and our dealers in Western, produco. Ho says; In particular would I call attention to tho statistics presented for an obvions comparison iu tho pork markot iff the two past seasons, as contrasted with that of previous years—its luigo iucrcaso, and at the same time diminished valuation, evi denced in tho acrobatic exercises of pork in its tumbling since January Inst, ono year ago, from 15*32.00 to # 13.50 per bar rel; bacon aud lard from 18 cents to 8 cents per pound. Why is this, wo natu rally inquire, when our iuoreaso of popu lation uud tho almost total failure ou thn part of the people of tho Bouth to raise any pork would indicate au iucrcnsing de maud instead of supply. In con vernation with a member of the Board of Commerce of tho city of Cin cinnati, I learned the following facts in regard to tho pork produco of 1870-71 und 1871-72. Tho comparative statistics givon would probably range as follows: 1870- 71—Number of hogs slaughtered 3,623,401; aggregate gror’a weight 1,033,- 120,160 pounds ; total lard rendered 130,- 658,181 pounds; nvoragu price pur 100 pounds $6.34 ; nggrogato cost ut crops $65,578,121. 1871- 72—Number of hogs slaughtered 782,403; aggregate gross weight (130,055 pounds; total lard rendered Uri.- 52,627 pounds; average price per 1641 pounds $4.53; aggregate coat of crops $55,818,711.

This statement does not iucludo any pork packed in the mouth of October, 1871, nor the largo amount killed nnd put up for private consumption, which, owing to tho cheapness, was large. In view of those facts, and tho further fact that every barn yard in tho West is a perfect hoggery, what ate the people hero to do with their beef V Beef cannot bo driven North or packed hero to compote with pork at .*5513.4)0 per barrel for laborers’ consumption. True, hotels and tho wealthy will still demand thoir steak as a luxury, oven at luxurious price*. But lfio class of consumers who aro market men will profor pork, not only on account of its price, but also from tho fact that bacon and pork will “go further" towards satisfying tho demands of a hungry family, as also satisfying more of tho munifold wants of tho kitchen. Therefore, it will bo readily conceded by any reflecting person, that unless beef raisers are relieved by hog cholera, short gruin crops, or a foreign war neither of which now seems imminent—they will have to begiu preparations for packing to supply foreign markets. These facts aro too palpablo to need further demonstra tion, other than the statement that whilo iu the Eastern States a laboring man can procure sugar-cured canvas hams for 13 cents per pound, lie would lie under tho necessity of payiug from 15 to 24) cents per pound for beef. Heart Disease. The tendency of modern investigation into tho influence of civilization on lon gevity seems to show u two-fold series of agencies nt work. On tho ouo hand, san itary improvements nnd tho lessoned mor tality from epidemics undoubtedly tend to diminish the average death-rate ; but, on the other hand, thero is practically much loss improvement in total death- rates than might bo expected, if these ameliorating cause* were not counter balanced by the increasing fatality of other classes of disease, such as diseases of the brain uud honrt. It is important to reoognizo the precise facts. The ex cess may probably to some exteut bo re garded as an unavoidable result of tho great mental strain and hurried excite ment of these times, in which steam and electricity mark tiwo for us, in an < is carried to the higuost point, and wher the struggle for existence, uot to sr»y for intellectual and other distinction, i* car ried on with sleepless and exhausting en ergy. But an evil recognized is some times half cured, and the intellectual classes, looking at figures such us those which Dr. Qtiain has displayed at his in teresting Lumleian lectures at tho College of Phyaioians, on disouses of tho walls of th* henrt, may well consider tho proprie ty of attending to tho hygiene of their lives, as well &s of their houses; and to remember that, to onjoy and buuefit by even pure air, soil and water, they must avoid disabling heart and brain by tho iu- essant labors which too often make i fal lives joyless, and embitter tho liar- eating of the c crop which has been but too diligently sown. These warning figures toll that, during the lost twenty years, the total, death* of moles at all ages from heart disease ha* increased in number from 5,746 in 1851, to 12,428 in 1870*. . Tho percentage of deaths from heart disease for 1,0«M) of population living waa .755 between the years 1851 and 1855 ; it lias risen to 1.085 from 1866 to 1870. This iucrcaso, it must .be observed too, lias taken place vholly in connection with the working years of active social life. Thero is no change in the percentage of deaths from this cause, iu males under 25 years of oge. Between twonty nnd forty-five years of ago it ha* risen from .553 to .74)!), nnd that almost exclusively in male*, for thero is almost no increase iu the percentage of foninles dying from heart disease during the twenty-fivo years of life from twonty- one to forty-five.. Theso figures convey their own lesson, aud warn us to take a little more care, not to kill ourselves for tbe sake of living.—Uritish and Medical Journal.
