To-day the lovers of good vegetables are busy

The com throughout the country looks lively-1
I am proud much more- has been planted than
was anticipated. The farmers are tired of hay
ing their bams so far from home. Wheat is out.
and the crop is fair. The cotton plant is com.
ing up finely. The beauty of everything to be
observed here, is, everybody seems to be em
ployed, and -the cry is for more laborers—no
idlers nor . paupers needed—but working men
of any color or race, can get employment. The
morality of our county is above par, as every
body is at work, and, as you are aware, idleness
always begets vice.
We had a very sudden death in our village
„hst night, the wife of our highly esteemed
friend Judge Jacob Lowe. She was visiting in
tho village at sundown yesterday evening,"^re
turned home, eat supper as usual and about nine
o’clock was stricken with paralysis. Medical aid
was called but availed nothing, and at half past
eleven o’clock the grim monster, as usual in
such cases, claimed his victim. She was a good
woman. It was but to know her to love her. She
leaves a distressed, sorrow stricken husband,
son and daughter, nnmerons relatives and
friends to mourn her loss to them, but her eter
nal gain.
The health of our county is, as a general
thing, good, with some exceptions, mostly among
the old people. The past winter, with its rigors,
has mado heavy ravages upon the syatems of old
people generally; one case I will mention. Our
highly esteemed old friend, Elder W. O. Cleve
land, has been confined to his room for the past
two months. His friends have almost despaired
of his recovery. Our prayer is that he may be
restored to his health and usefulness again.
c - Relief Law.
Editors Telegraph : Under the statute tho
privilege of jurors trying old claims is quite
bread, but it seems now to bo a well fixed rule,
and a just one, too, among the juries of thi»
State in adjusting the equities under the Relief
Law to first ascertain the amount of 'property
owned by debt previous to June 1, 1865, at an
average time, and second tho loss and present-
worth. Loss may bo sustained by depreciation
of value of property from cause or by a total
destruction of the property. A third step is to
reduoe the claim in proportion to the loss. Ten
ders, of course, go far toward reduction of fho
amount. When a piece of property was pur
chased and the purchase money is the object of
suit, then, under the third section of the relief
act, it may be returned to plaintiff, etc., pro
vided, the debtor holds the same, but if he holds
property for which the same was exchanged,
then it is different property from that held and
cannot be classed in order to fall undor the said
section. In the adjustment of tho equities the
law does not allow the loss of plaintiff to be in
vestigated. .
Farther Particulars ot the Harder of
Ayer. ,
We published yesterday, the particulars of
tho murder of Dr. Benjamin Ayer, of Louisville,
Jefferson county, which established that he was
murdered and robbed by a negro man. Below
we give a synopsis of the evidence brought out
on the commitment trial. We thank our cor
respondent for his promptness in giving all the
facts in relation to the murder of Ayer, as the
Radicals are thereby rendored powerless to work
this case up into a Ku-Klux outrage :
Louisville, April 19th, 18C9.
Editors Chronicle <£ Sentinel—Our usually
quiet little town has been very much excited
' to-day, occasioned by the commitment trial of
the negro Wilson Flournoy, who was arrested*
on Saturday night last, charged with killing Dr.
Benj. Ayer. Tho Court-house was filled with
both whito and black, all eager to hear tho evi
dence. On the trial it was proven that Wilson
came into Louisville on Thursday evening about
dark; that on tho suburbs he took from under a
ditch bridgo (about two hundred yards From
where Dr. A. was found dead) a musket barrel,
which was found secreted in the same place yes
terday (Sunday) morning. From the time ho en
tered town nothing was seen or heard of him
until half-past eight o’clock, when ho entered a
store and commenced trading; that ho had
more money than was usual for him to
have; that on his return home, about 101
o’clock r. m., ho exhibited some money and
a pistol; that tho pistol, a six shooter, and dif
ferent from tho one he usually carried, was
seen in his box on Friday; that on Saturday
he lent a negro woman two bills of money,
which she supposed to be two dollars, but, on
coming to town on Saturday night, she’found
that they were twenty dollar bill3 instead of
one's, and that ho had a largo quantity be
dsides ; that he gave to his brother one hun
dred dollars on Saturday, most of which was re
covered that night; that he attempted to pass
off some through another negro, and as soon as
he found suspicion was excited left hastily; that
ho was arrestad tho same night on the Creek
- Bridge about a mile from town, and that when
arrested, he denied having a cent of money
about: his person, but on being made to strip,
with a view of searching him, he very adroitly
slipped a pocket book down the leg of his pants
and into liis shoo and then kicked his shoe off
some distance; that when his shoo was being
picked op ho remarked to tho witness that it
was nothing hot his shoo ; that in his shoe was
found a pocket book containing two hundred
. and eighty-five dollars, which was identified by
two witnesses as being the one seen in Dr. A- s
possession the evening he came to Iionisville.
Affer his arrest he said he found the pocket
pook lying near tho b<?dy of Dr. A., on Thurs
day night, as he went home.
The musket barrel was identified as the ' one
he took from tinder the ditch-bridge on Thnrs-
•day night, and tho physician who made the post
mortem examination testified that it was an in
strument a blow from which would be likely to
produce death, and gave it as his opinion that,
it was the instrument which had been use<L
The same evidence was elicited as on tho in
quest, as to Dr. A., passing Sherman’s house in
company with another person, and going to
George Holt’s for his overcoat, and saying he
had company.
The defendant introduced no evidence, and
after a few remarks from Major W. A. Wilkins,
the prosecuting attorney, he was committed to
jail to stand his trial at the next term of the Su
perior Court for murder. On being taken back
to iaiL just as he reached the steps of the jail,
he broke from the officer and ran for the swamp
The alarm was instantly given by the report^of

but missed him) when every man in* he ,

plete and graphic a story of the battle that I
suspect she has posted up on it since the terrible
day, to accommodate travelers, said that tho
morning after Burnside had attacked the rebel
fines, one could go over the battle field, and
pick np anything he might wish for. “Why”
said she, “one man fell dead inside my door
here with a four-quart jug of molasses in his
hand. 'What did tho soldier mean to do with
so much sweetening ?
Money had been dropped hilter-skilter in tho
streets, by the inhabitants in their flight: the
kitchen utensils and parlor furniture strewed
the fields for miles. • One old man, who has

graphic story of his troubles. Just as fast as

sisted on “something to drink” beforo they went
to tlie battle. He watched them start out, and
said that in many cases they were not gone ten
minutes before they were brought back, maimed
and crushed, to bo laid on ghastly doors, in the
extemporized hospitals.
The sight at the principal church, after the
battle had been in progress an hour, was horri
ble beyond description, and the whole village
echoed to the wailin^of the wounded. The old
ferryman who took us across to the hills oppo
site Fredericksburg, gave a glowing picture of
the laying of the pontoon bridges, and alluded
especially to the fact that-the guns of our own
batteries, too far off, killed many of our soldiers
as they advanced np the slopes. Stonewall
Jnckson was his pet hero, and lie regaled us
with anecdotes of that queer but valiant Gen
eral. He was in the Wilderness when Jackson
fell, and confirmed the accepted story that he
was shot by his own men. How he knew I could
not make him tell; he only responded by lean
ing on the boat-rail, and saying, with mysterious
intonation, “I was thar.”

m different sections of the country goes far to
substantiate the correctness of the above state-
mens.
The great mass of farmers are proverbially
conservative—slow to adopt any innovations in
men: long established farm practices—content
m the matters “to let well enough alonebut,
cautious as they are, when satisfied of the worth
of a real improvement in any branch of farm
culture over the old method, they have the good
sense to adopt the new one. I will give an il
lustration of this:
There has been in successful operation at
bandy Spring, Maryland, for twenty or more
years, a farmers’ club at which agricultural
questions are proposed and discussed, and at the
close of the discussion a vote is taken. A rec
ord is_kept of the doings of their club meetings.
In 1852 the question was asked, “What is the
best way of using bam-yard manure?” An
swer: “Flow it under this fall for next spring’s
com crop,’ “Should it be left spread on the
surface, or plowed under directly?” Club
equally divided. Bnt in August of the n»vt
year, the majority favored hauling out manure
on the sod now and leaving it spread to plow
under in the spring for com. On this impor
tant question the majority in favor of leaving
bam-yard manure spread on the surface in
creased from year to year, so that in 1859 six
teen out of seventeen farmers present preferred
surface manuring.
Now it seems to me that the experience of
these Maryland farmers does much towards
settling this important question relative to the
application of manures for tho com crop; and
in my view there are many other advantages
connected with this system, and only one ob
jection—that of plowing in the spring.
Let the winter-made manures remain in the
barn-cellar or under cover if pocaible, and if
hogs could be kept upon it, the better. The
manure, straw, etc., in the yard should be put
in large heaps (and if covered with mack or
loam, all the better,) to bo carted on the newly
inverted sod in autumn, which should be done
soon after the land is ploughed. The manure
should be evenly spread and worked into the
soil with the cultivator or harrow. By such a
course there would be no breaking np of grass
land in the spring, no carting of heavy green
manure over muddy roads’ and deep-rotted fields
in early spring; there would be little or no loss
of manure by evaporation or leaching; tho fer
tilizing qualities of tho manure would become
pretty equally distributed through tho soil, so
that every little rootlet would get its share of
ready-prepared food. The plants on such a
prepared soil,|frum their first appearance above
it, exhibit wide, dark-green, rich-looking leaves
—the reverse of the yellow, sickly-looking corn
in an adjoining field, where all the mannre was
buried eight or ten inches beneath the sod. By

pulse of Burnside’s attack was mentioned by al
most every man with whom I had any conver
sation. Old people delighted to go over the
ground, and point out where such and such heaps
of Federal dead had lain. Ono man told, with
mnch glee, how he spent all tho night after the
battle in looking over a pile of soldiers, and tak
ing out of their pockets the whisky bottles they
had stolen from him on the morning previous.

Picket firing across the river at Fredricks-
lmrg, say some historians, was indulged into a
barbarous extent Barksdale’s Mississippi sharp
shooters are accused of having taken the liyes
of our soldiers on every occasion possible when
it was directly in opposition to the laws of war.
But the townspeople tell a different story. They
say that no pickets ever fired upon each other
save at the beginning of the December battle.—
One old negro informed me that the above-men
tioned Mississippi marksmen were wont to send
invitations to our officers to cross tho river in
the night, and disguised in Confederate clothes,
attend the extemporized balls which frequently
occurred in the town, and the invitations were
accepted. "When the breeze was right tho pick
ets would trade tobacco for newspapers, by
sending across little wooden boats with paper
sails, and the officers used to send billets donx
to the ladies whom-they had met at the balls.—
The sharpstooters didn t so grossly misuse their
chances as they might have done, for both
Hooker and Franklin often appeared on tho
river bank, near the Federal pickets, excellent
targets for oven the poorest marksman.
Colouizing Old Virginia.
The New York Times has tho following in re
lation to an extensive emigration movement
to Virginia:
There is quite a furor among the laboring
and mechanic classes of onr city in tho matter
of colonization. Companies are being formed
for the purpose of moving to the West and
South, and settling on the rich public lands in
tho former, and on those lands in the latter
which are now offered for sale at very reduced
figures. Colonies are formed, eacl\ member of
which pays a small sum into a general fund,
which payment entitles him to all the benefits to
bo derived from such association.
Another colony, to bo called the Eureka, is
also in process of formation. It already has
about two hundred members, and propose^ to
swell its number to three hundred families.
This coiohy will locate in Middle "V irginia.
Ux>nt twelve thousand acres of land have been
selected there for this purpose, the soU
being amdng the best in tlm State, and
the owners have offered to sell it to the col
onists at four dollars per acre. No interest is
asked on the amount of tho purchase money,
and the buyers are allowed to pay for the-land
by small monthly installments. Part of these
lands are already cleared, and on the remainder
there are very valuable timber cuttings. The
country is well watered, affording ample facili
ties for’the operation of saw-mills, grist-mills,
etc This colony proposes to set out about the
middle of May next. The entrance fee de
manded'from such as become members of this
organization is small; and if any one becomes
dissatisfied with the manner in which its opera
tions are conducted he returned to him. Ihe
membere'of the Eureka organization appearto
be very sanguine that their enterprise will De
fruitful of success. -
Several new organinations are contemplated,
and it is estimated that twenty thousand per
sons will leave the city for homes m the South
and West during the coining snmmer season.
Mb. Beecheb’s latest excentricity is to take
up the cudgels for the practice which some per-
sons, we are told, have of dying the hair. The
reverendmoralist writes to theNewYorkLedger:

vation with an implement (not a spike-toothed
harrow) that will penetrate and pulverize the
soil from four to six inches deep.
Bnt hero some may ask, “Will there not be
mnch loss by the leaching ont of the fertilizing
ingredients of the mannre from October till
May ?” If the soil contains a fair proportion of
fine loom, and a small per centage of day, there
would be no loss of mannre. This important
fact has been fully demonstrated by many care
fully-conducted experiments by Professors Way,
Liebig, and many other scientific investigators.
To sum np the matter in a few words, it was
fonnd that the clay or alnminous portions of
soils possess the power of chemically combining
with pot only the gaseous compounds of decom
posing animal matters, bnt also with th* alkalies,
ammonia, potash, soda, magnesia, etc. This,
said Professor Way, is a very wonderful proper
ty of soil, and appears to be an express provi
sion of nathro. “A power,” he remarks, “is
here fonnd to reside in foils by virtue of which
not only is rain unable to wash ont of them those
soluble ingredients forming a necessary condi
tion of vegetation, bnt even these compounds,
when introduced artificially by manures, are
laid hold of and fixed in the soil to the absolute
exclusion of any loss either by rain or evapora
tion.” That the views thns expressed are sub
stantially correct, I think wo have the most
abundant proof. That bountiful provision of
nature which ^treasures up in the soil, un was tod,
for nnlimitodperiods of time, the fertilizing in
gredients so necessary to the growth and ma
turity of vegetable life, marks unmistakably the
wisdom and benificenco of the Creator.

The Sugar Season-.—Contrary to the appre
hensions of many, the maple sugar season
is proving an exceedingly productive one in
this State (Vermont) Tho freezing nights
and sunny days, ‘ with tho thorough soak
ing of the ground from the melting snow, mokes
sap flow profusely. In parts of the State, where
snow is deepest, the farmers are obliged to use
snow shoes, to get about in their “sugar bushes;”
but on the whole the snow is not interfering
with sugar-making. In this county, tho farmers
are having a famous time, the sap running as
fast, and in some cases faster, than they can
collect it. On the whole, the prospect is that
more sugar will be made this spring than in sev
eral years, which, considering the high price of
sugar generally, is a very favorable ana fortunate
state of the-case.—Burttnyton ( Fif.) Press.

and the city of Baltimore $25,000, to which the

that city. The grounds are already purchased,
are very suitable for tho purpose, and are lo
