VOLUME m.l Not Szxatok.—Tlie Philadelphia Age insists that Revels Is not Senator, bnt sim ply a negro forced Into the Senate by bay onets, and a corrupt bargain with the friends of Albert Adlebert Ames. Bollock Claims to bo a Scalawag. The following paragraph clipped from the Rochester (N.Y.) Union and Ameri can, of the 12th, will Interest Gov. Bollock and bis friends, as containing home testi mony to bis worth: Amends HoxoRABLB^-We owe one Mr. Horns B. Bollock, of the neighboring vil lage of Albion, Orleans county, who fig ures as “ Governor ” of Georgia, an apolo- R , We have heretofore spoken of Mr. Hock as a carpet-bagger. The term is, technically, It appears, a misnomer. Mr. Bullock Is not a carpet-bagger, as he in formed our reporter at the Brackett House yesterday, but a scalawag. A carpet-bag ger is a Republican who settled In the South since the breaking out of the rebel lion and now lives upon office and spoils. A scalawag is a fellow who itinerated in the South before the rebellion, and pre tended to be a Democrat, and who, when decent men were disfranchised and vaga bonds became voters, turned Republican and thus secured position andjplundcr. It is due to Hr. Bullock that this distinction between the two classes of Southern pests, who rise as they rot, should be stated. Tlic Radical Organ a Discoverer. The Radical organ has lately favored Its readers with a number of learned editorial essays. In a very elaborate one yesterday morning, on the tremendous theme of “History and Realities,” it communicates the following most astounding discoveries, for which the public is properly grateful: For there Is reality in the tramp of the iron horse that goes snorting and scream ing over hill and vale. There Is reality In the swift wings of tbe iron steamer that tikla. to fiance to old Ocean. There Is reality In the click of the magnetic telegraph that belts the earth. Not only, however, will an enraptured and bencfiltcd people sing pcans of praise to the great discoverer of the valuable, and hitherto unknown facts stated, but the iron horse, as It snorts, the steamer as its swift wings defy, and the telegraph as it belts, will all thank, with unutterable emotion, the remarkable individual that has found out that there is a bona fide, square-out, unadulterated reality in them. This fact is now settled. Hitherto disputed, it now towers into incontrovcrtable supremacy. The man that with rash incredulity dares - to deny It, will henceforth get the scorn of an indignant world. But not satisfied with this magnificent revelation about the reality of these tilings, the organ goca farther, and extends its val uable researches. It solemnly declares: Those afford work for the mind and work for the body. This is good. No one ever knew this be fore. But the crowning achievement in tbe way of discovery, and wo are sure that the the'day was. hone, the telegraph, and the steamer will be as much amazed at it as anybody else, is tills statement: They Instill Into the soul that charity that will suffer long before It can be pro voked to bloodshed. If this Is really so, and there is no bum- bag about it, we sincerely trust that tbe three concerns, horse, steamer and tele graph, In one combined phalanx, will put their apparatus In order, and turn their concentrated chemicals loose on the Bad- leal party, and Instill into It some of that charity, that the organ had better oppor tunely discover, that tbe faction sadly needs. We would not bo irreverently incredu Ions, particularly after tbe organ’s positive announcement, bnt wc fear that the snorter nnd the switt winged concern that, by a curious complexity of metaphor, can defy, fciul the belter, with all their wonderful ca pacity in the charity line, will fall in this job. But let them try. Put them at Radical ism, brother organ. There never was a better subject. For, by the beard of Cap tain Blodgett, if it has ever shown any kindness to the South, a fifty thousand horse power moral microscope couldn’t discover it, even aided by the remarkable discovery powers of the organ.

Good bye,” and ont he went. That was the last that has been seen of him. Another gentleman of good practical abil ity, and a graduate ol a noted college, after r ising through the list, ejaculated: “ This the damnedest sweat-box that I ever saw,” and concluded it had about as much to do with the old census as the old time problems which will bo remembered in the back part of Dabol’s arithmetic.

A correspondent of an exchange gives the following as a sure means of accom plishing the above desideratum: “ As soon as the germinating corn in tho planted field makes Its appearance, sow corn all around the borders of the field. After a few days, walk around the lot; if you find the corn pretty nearly all picked up, sow again. Two applications aresuffi- cicnt, and will last the birds until tlic grow ing corn is too strong for them. About a peck at a time will answer for n field of eight or ten acres, unless the birds should be unusually numerous. Timely observa tion in the field will indicate whether more Is needed. I havn practiced this method for many years, and havo found it effee- tual.” Potato Fertilizer. The Hcirth and Home gives tlie follow ing recipe for making a mineral manure that is especially adapted to potatoes: Take one cask of lime and slack it with water, and then stir in it one bushel of fine salt, and then mix in loam, or ashes enough that it will not liecomo mortar; It will make about flvo barrels.

The New England Farmer is of tlie opin ion that when tho udder becomes enlarged by a superabundance of milk before tho calf is dropped, the milk should bo taken away, though contrary to the popular be lief, which that paper considers erroneous. It adds: “If tho udder is hard and no milk can be drawn from it, it should be bathed in warm water, warm soap suds, together with a great deal of gentle friction by tho band. If the milking, bathing and friction do not succeed, rub the udder with a lini ment made of sweet oil and ammonia, or simple lard or fresh butter. In such cares, tho condl ion of the bowels must be regard ed, and Epsom salt given as a laxative. All cows should have entire liberty for a week or two previous to calving, such as an open, shed, or a pen twelve foot square in tho barn. After dropping the calf, the cow should have a drink of shorts and warm water, once each day, for two or three days, in addition to her usual food.

Tlio slights recently in- flicted upon the German Republicans of Indianapolis, and tbe insalting disregard of their just claims, have caused much bad blood among the Get man Republicans in that State in general.” In conclusion, the Volksblatt observes that “ if the Republicans of Ohio desire to triumph, they must not only favor a reve nue tariff, but they must go for the discon tinuance of paying subsidies to railroads and steamship companies.” It significant ly inquires, “Will tbe Republican party comply with these requirements?” We venture to predict that the Radicals will not comply with these requirements.
