According to the American Union, (Swayze's paper,) the movement, fathered by Jeff Long, to get np a Labor Union among tho negroes and pledgo them to demand thirty dollars a month for field hands and fifteen dollars a month for women, is the work of .1. K. Bryant, nr ! Long is the catspaw in the knsint ss. If these «orthiefl should succeed in bringing up the negroes to that line, they will make n ease of them ; for it is ncedl-ss to say they will all necessarily forfeit wages. Nor is it possible to fir upon a safo minimum of wages for t!~! 1 hands simply because that some of them would bo dear for their food, while others, who are intelligent, able, faithful and honest would t>e comparatively cheap at twenty dollars a month nnd rations. Piece work cannot he applied to the plantation, and therefore the common dead level of tho trades unions which is wholly nnjnst in respect to them, wonld he impossible in plantation labor. Unquestionably the price of labor will rise this winter, hut the demand of any sneh mini mum by the negroes ns thirty dollars a month wilt destroy the wages system altogether. Hands must then lie idle and relapse into va grancy, or bo content to labor on shares nnd take risks with tho landowner. Tin* Situation in IVniiNJ 1 vituin. The ’Washington special of the 28th nit to the Louisville Courier-Journal says that “Tho Kndicnls are alarmed at the situation in Pennsylvania. As things now look, they freely ndmit in quiet conversation that the Democrats will carry tho State in October. Tho Chairman of the Republican State Committee, John Co- vode, arrived here to-day, and with Senator Wil son, who has been making speeches in Pennsyl vania, had an interview with the President, nnd suggested various measures of relief for tho Re publican party. One is that Pennsylvania l>e given tho existing Cabinet vacancy, so that the Slate may not fee! that it is ignored by the ad ministration. Other requests mentioned in to day's conference have not transpired. 0/ course, it will bo telegraphed hcnco that Wilson and Co- vodo declare that the Radicals will carry Penn sylvania, but their sadden visit to the President to-day and their cry for help belie their words.” The election in Pennsylvania, os well as Ohio, occurs next Tuesday week, the 12th instant The difference in the fair relative strength of politi cal parties in Pennsylvania, in 656,000 votes, does not amount to twenty thousand—say throe votes in evory hundred or thirty rotes in every thousand—so that neither party can bo freo from much danger and anxiety in any popular eloction. Ohio has polled in tho last three elections an average of 498,765 votes, with on average Rad ical majority of 69,465. .Ilotl Have .Money. The Mississippi Radicals have sent circulars North making an urgent appeal to their political brethren for pecuniary aid. They stato thoir requirements thus, in italics and capitals: “To effect this in a way that the opposition shall smart under it, and thoy shall yield peace ful submission at the ballot box, we shall have need of at least TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS from tho friends of our party else where. Tho poor whites and the colored men nro the most nnmerous class in the State. Many of them are starving, and our political enemies nro providing them with bread. Many are sick, nnd they clotlio them. Others are thirsty, and thru drink with them. Thus danger, fearful and threatening, hovers over us, and to avert it wo MUST havo monoy.” If that is the wsy they aro going to do, tho smart of the opposition, will doubtless be offset by tho satisfaction of tho Mississippi darkies over plenty of bread and whisky. A story is afloat that this sad appeal from Mississippi for money .to buy whisky for tho negro voters waa road in tho Massachusetts Radical Convention before that body took final action in utterly sup pressing tho liquor traffic. It moved tho Con vention to tears and meantime the hat was passed round with an abundant blessing. Is that so ? The Sot TUeti.v Cultivator for October lias reached us. Wo can do our planting friends no greater service than to call their attention to thia agricultural magazine. It is tho leading representstivo of that revolution in Southern farming, ivhich has been iuNiigurated sinco tho war, with such happy results. Its editors, though progressive, are evidently cautions men, attaching great weight to experience, ns is shown by the large number of articles in every issuo, written by practical farmers in nil tho Southern States. I's corps of contributors is unrivalled. Wo notice that the publishers continue to furn ish to new subscriber* tho letters contributed by Mr. Dickson, embodying his experience and practice. These alone are worth twenty years subscription. If you havo nover seen tho paper, send a stamp to Southern Cultivator, Athens, Go., for a specimen copy, and examine it for yourself.

They also exhibit sam ples of potatoes which yielded 454 bushels to the acre, at a gross weight of 27,250 pounds.— A squash is found iu tho vicinity which looks as if it might weigh two hundred pounds. 51ns. Stowe's Conscience.—Aunt Tommy has a conscience, hut it is located in a strange place. In her “ Sun ay oj Foreign Lands,” page 420 voL 2, she thus writes : ‘ "Suddenly, so suddenly that it was quite mys terious,” conscience smote me. A profound, deep-seated remorse developed itself exactly in the deepest centre of the pit of my stomach.” There—there 1 What can the church do with a hag who mistakes cholera-morbus for con science ?—Augiuta ConitUutirrnaiijd. The Whisky Fraud* and Tax The New York Times of the 28th ult., in an editorial laudation of the fiscal economies of tho administration, mentions one or two very inter esting fsets. They are contained in the follow ing extract: Take the single article of whisky. Tho total quantity on which revenue taxes were collected for the year ending June 3d, 1868 (i. e. under President Johnson.) was only 6,709,546 gallons. The revenue then was at the rate of two dollars a gallon, and amounted, therefore, to between thirteen and fourteen millions of dollars. On the contrary, for the year ending June. 1869 the Bureau of Internal Revenue has had retnms of annual taxes on do less than 65.009,331 gal Ions of whisky 1 Again, compare the revenue receipts from January to June, inclusive, for 186S, with those of January to June, inclusive, in 1 >69. In the former period the tax on whisky was two dollars a gallon, in the latter only fifty cents : and yet, despite this enormous advantage in favor of the former period, its revenue receipts on the same objects of taxation were less by *21,.500,000 than those of the same period in 1869 ! The increased revenue is due, of course, sim ply to the redaction of the tax. A tax of two dollars on the gallon could not be collected. That we- the persistent representation of every news paper and politician of any practical sense, and here we see it illustrated by figures, showing that whereas the two dollar tax was collected only upon 6,709,54G gallons, tho fifty cent tax was collected on 62,009,331 gallons. But it was a tax confessedly not for rovenne but levied in tho high interests of morality and total ab stinence. The effort now is among the liquor dealers to restore the old tax of two dollars, and it is easily explained. Under it they really escaped with an average tax of not more than twenty cents per gallon, because, as the figures show, the great bulk of the whiskey product escaped tax altogether. But while thus escaping the tax the prices of their liquors were to a great extent fixed by the tax. They were not often mnch below the two dollars per gallon. The exorbitant tax, then, operated for the benefit of the whisky makers in tho nature of a protective tariff of extraordinary efficiency. It sent up their wares more than ono hundred per cent, on prime cost, including the tax, and thus, in order to collect “between thirteen and four teen millions of revenue,” for tho government from the people, the latter vyere fleeced moro than sixty-two millions for tho benefit of the whisky manufacturers. It is not surprising that the distillers insist that the tax shall bo raised again. They are now paying thirty-one millions tax, when they used to pay but thirteen. ’Whisky was then about two dollars a gallon on twenty cents tax, whereas it is now n little upwards of one dollar with fifty cents tax. Tho difference is some thing stupendous, and no wonder the whisky men complain. But It is a wonder that the Kew York Times cannot find a better foundation for compliments to the Grant administration than the inevitable I BY TELEGRAPH. From Washington. Wa&hinoto-v, October 1.—Xo Cabinet develop- ; rnenta. Judge Richardson has resigned the Assistant Sec- 1 retarv of tbe Treasury. Among those named for Virginia Senatorship is j Edgar Snoden, editor of the Alexandria Gazette.— { Mr. Snowden opposes the election of Senators nntil ; Virginia is restored, but if the election does take ! place it is understood that Snowden will be support- ; ed by the Potomac, Tidewater and Upper Piedmont j regions and a large part of the Valley districts. j Commander Luce reports from Lisbon that he | reached that port in twenty-one days. His vessel, the Juniata, is a success as a sailing vessel. The ! Juniata found the Sabine at Lisbon. There had been no trouble whatever on the Sabine. Revenue receipts to-day $305,000. Fish and Delano have returned. Fish an l Creswell were absent from the Cabinet to-day. The Supreme Court convenes on Monday, with a fall bench. Commandant of the Asiatic Squadron reports the health good, and American interests flourishing in Chinese waters. Delano thinks Geary will be re-elected by a small majority. Tbe debt statement shows a decrease or seven and a half millions; coin in treasury nearly one hundred and nine millions; currency six and a half fpillinnw. The eteamer Enterpe, of the New York and Gal veston line, is tinder BnrveiUnee, pending instruc tions from Washington. She had a cargo of huge parrot guns, tons upon tons of solid shot and shell. The authorities suspect this cargo is intended to arm the Spanish gun boats now ready for sea. Tbe account says there are just thirty of these gun boats, and singularly enough there were found in the hold of the Enterpe just thirty of these hundred pound parrot guns. There were also three thousand solid shot and shell, which had been cast for these same parrots. Tho Tribune says editorially of the En- terpe'a detention: The authorities have just laid hands upon a vessel which, by all accounts, appears to have been destined to supply with armaments the Spanish gun boats at Mystic. The possibility that great harm might have been and may be done thereby to tho cause of struggling patriotism, na turally provokes a most earnest deairs that no want of vigilance shall permit a wrong to an neighbor whose comparative weakness and whose noble as pirations have our hearty sympathies. The plea of the Cubans, that they should havo the same right to purchase arms as their savage antagonists, must be admitted in the light of menacing events to have unusual force. Beverly B.

Nashville, September 28.—Tho Legislature convenes next Monday, and early in the suc ceeding week will elect a United States Senator. At this early day the following events can be predicted with reasonable certainty of their ful fillment: 1. Andrew Johnson will be elected Senator. 2. The fifteenth amendment will not be rat ified. 3. A constitutional convention will bo called who bare no connection with tbe Cuban Junta that baa been operating here. The Hornet is formidable and very fast. From New York New Yoar, October 1.—Wall street continued quiet to-day, except towards the doss, when the stock market waa unsettled by rumors of the losses of tho Michigan Southern Company, by tbe late panic. No new developments on the gold question. Many millions of Friday's contracts wore settled to st an early day, which body will effect the en- I day, and tbe end of the complication is drawing franchiscment of every disfranchised person in the Stato at the earliest practicable moment, but will not interfere with the civil and political rights of tho negro. 4. Tho bonds of tho Stato will not bo repudi ated, although earnest advocates for.snch a measure will not be wanting. 5. The partisan legislation of the last few years will be generally repealed. These are the main questions to come before the Legislature and the convention growinjaout of it Tho fight over tho Senatorship will be fieroe, but the result can be told in advance. The new Legislature will contain an abler set of men than has over been found in tho Tennessee General Assembly before. Tho Press and Times, the Radical organ of I this oity, will suspend in a day or two, leaving not * single daily Radical paper in the State, as Brownlow'a Whig has become quite conserva tive. Tho collapse of Radicalism in Tsnnosseo is as effectual as that of a mammoth balloon bursting from over-inflation. Matters nro quiet throughout the State. That, it will bo seen, is a Tory bold and con fident prediction, and tho fulfillment of the prophecy, us a whole, we believe, will be gene rally gratifying to the Southern Democracy. Whatever infirmities of temper may be as cribed to Sir. Johnson, he is an honest and in corruptible statesman—a clenr and powerful ex ponent of constitutional liborty—a bold and in trepid advocate of law, order and official re sponsibility, nnd he will find few or no compeers in tho Senato of tho United States on tho scores of intellectual ability, experience and power as a debater. We believe Tennessee will do herself and the country a service by returning Mr. Johnson to the Senate, and we do not compre hend the influences which have thrown the Nashville Banner in opposition to him. Tho rest of the programme there can bo little division about among Democrats. From Texas.

I became interested with Dr. Groves last spring in the introduction of iortr-fivo bushels in tho vicinity of Knoxville. I confess I had some misgivings as to their sueeeaa South, notwithstanding their su perior qualities over all other varieties seemed to bo thoroughly established in the North, for I had observed some doubts expressed by members of the New York Farmers’ Club as to their being grown successfully in >ho 800th. In order, however, to make a full and fair teat of what they would do in our climate and soil we concluded to scatter thorn among a number of planters in different localities and on different kinds oriands Hence I am enabled to speak of their success on a variety of soils, having furnished aecd to twelve planters in this and adjoining counties.

Tho New York Tribune has lost all patience with tho engineering of tho Administration in tho “rebel States,” and speaks out as follows: Tho votes of several States are still needed for the pending Amendment; we havo stood by and seen that of Tennessee thrown, away, and will keep silence no longer. It was entirely practi cable to have saved that Stato, even nfter tho insane quarrel which rent the Republican party; had tho Administration been allowed to exert its influence and power to that end, it might havo secured a pledge from the rebels en franchised by Senter that they would ratify the XVth Amendment. But it was virtually con strained to favor Stokes after he was deader than any door nail can be; and the net result of that folly is the loss of Tennessee's vote on the Main Question. We insist that there be no more of this; for, ns the lean boarder told his landlady touching her bedbugs, “I really haven't the blood to spare.” We have nothing to say as to the pref erence of any Texas voter for Davis over Ham ilton : that is his own affair altogether. If Da vis shall be selected, very well; bnt if the Ad ministration is made to remove and appoint Federal officers in his behalf, and thus to exas perate tbe Hamilton party so that a good part of it shall be set against the Fifteenth Amend ment, and if that party shall triumph, maugre all tho efforts made at Washington to defeat it (which are just as likely to help as to harm) and the vote of Texas for the Amendment shall thus be lost, why then we shall protest against the impolicy that finds favor in high places as little short of idiotic. We repeat that the decisive triumphs of the Administration, if triumph it shall, must be the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment and tho funding at low interest of the national debt. Whoever favors the Fifteenth Amendment is a virtual supporter of Gen. Grant, and. without suspicions scrutiny of his motive, should be wel comed and treated as sneh.

Parties who har© not hesitate! to pronounce them snatnbu? n re now willing to accord to them nil you claim. They overcome a difficulty in the production of soullgrains in this country on our rich lands, being capable of the highest cnltnre on deep est soil, b» their great development of strength in stalks to support a corresponding length and weight of heads. Many new and good varieties have been introduced into the South, but have not the strength of stalk tounstrt them an l lodce or fall before the gmin manures. In saying to you that I believe thit the Ramsdell Norway Gray Oata is to wo^k still moreaatonUhingresults, and occupy a proud and envious plaeo in the prosperity of our ex-ended country, I say no more than what I believo the future will attest.
