HOW TO CULTIVATE CLOVER, Maui in’s Depot, S. C., July 5, ’(57. In accordance with your request I give mv experience in raising clover, which 1 do ti.e more clierfttUy, as 1 believe 1 haw the secret of succeeds though J make no claim to its discovercs tor I owe the suggestion to a friend who lost his life in Tennesse, nobly hatt'.eing lor -{Southern rights. I have wasted much labor and seed in trying the Northern and Western system ol sowing clover with some other crop, and only succeeded in one instance in petting a stand in that way, and that was on a lot with athiti «laml of barley, •vliich I killed out the next Spring by pasturing too early, and too closely. The secret is to cultivate the land well the preceding year, say in.-cotton, corn or potatoes, so as to leave no seed ol crab grass: (weeds do not hurt so much.) Prepare the ground well, by plowing and harrowing smoothly, and i! not rich, by maturing. Tliisshouhi I e r, done about the middle of March, mid immediately sow eight or nine pounds of seed to the acre. I usual!) sow bv slakes, lints saving the trouble <1 laving off- —sowing a land of mr.e feet. Anew beginner had better al ways try a small piece of land, meas uring both land and seed, as lie may waste a great, deal of seed il lie goes to f uessing. I sow very regularly, by keeping the two last fingers clenched, allowing the thumb and two fingers to do the Mirk. 1 first throw out with the first Huger, and then with the other, making two licks for each Vmdiull. By takingllieordinary wheat sowing gate, this plan will sow about the right quantity of seed. Alter sow ing. 1 would somewhat prefer to run a good iron-toothed harrow over it, hut if not convenient, il will do well with < ut covering, as l-iie first shower will cover it sufficiently. The only advan tage that l have ever seen in covering was in getting an early stand, but if a good shower falls soon alter planting you will not -discover the. difference, though it will *bow il it is dry. Now close up your clover field, and let nothing into it until the clover is a \ ear old. About the middle of May, when the first blossoms begin »o turn brown, the clover is ready to cut. If I v ou want to graze it, let it gel in bloom iirst, then you can’t well kill it, but if vou attack it too early, and graze too closely, you are liable to loose your I stand, if the summer should be very ! Imt and dry, you may fear that your j clover is gone, but it you have half a stand in the fall, there is no Cause lot* fear and do not be discouraged, for in the spring yon will be rewarded for all voui trouble. We used our first crop this year, in feeding in, the green state to mules and cows —cutting it with a mowing blade. We are now cutting the second crop for hay, but this crop will not do for horses, though good for cows and sheep. If this plan is pursued, I feel confi dent that clover may be made grow on any land that lias fertility enough to produce a good crop ol cotton, though the richer the belter. In some seasons it will do well if sown in the fall, but the winter must be very favorable, though it is about as easily killed out as oats. In a very favorable season, and on very rich, moist, land, an in different stand may be had by sowing with someone of the different grain crops, but nine times out ol ten such an experiment in our climate and soil, will result til disappointment and dis* I couragemeut. 1 regard a half stand o( clover as worth more than any other crop, and nothing in the way of a crop can add more to our comfort, and clover can be raised with nearly, if not 1 quite as much certainty as oats can be. i When a stand is once secured, it will I last it properly managed, some four years, and then by turning in the fall ami cultivating in corn or cotton, fid- i lowed by wheat, a good stand will j again come. A little plaster or stable J manure or both will always add to the crop. 1 prefer mowing to pasturing, as thus you cut away all weeds that stock j usually leave, thereby helping the clover to take entire possession of the land. I do hope that everv mail in tile fcjUUe " jil try ut least a small patch, 1 m when he can see for himself its value, ! and be may add to bis crop to bis ! liking. 'J be seed is worth from eight to twelve dollars per bushel, weighing i sixiy pounds, and a bushel will sow | well eight acres. All animals, iiiclmi | ing hogs do well on the first crop, hut the second crop, should not he given ' to horses, either drv or green. This has been a very favorable year for clover this far, and we have had two cuttings, from two to three feet each crop, j have tried clover in land that had never been cultivated, but never ! very successfully li< and, stiff land, is most favorable to its grow th, but it will j do well on any of our land that is rich : enough, unless very sandy. 1 think 1 have covered the whole | ground, am] 1 have tried to be plain. Il anything has been overlooked, 1 will till up the omission when my attention :is called to it. With my best wishes ) lor the success of your paper- I am Your obedient servant. James W. Watts. .SAU’L li. SMITH AND ROUT. P. MILAM Editors arul Proprietors. Cartersville <«a, Au&. 23, ist»; Tlie Republican Deiuunslia. lion ou Sut«jr<lay. Early Saturday morning last, our streets were alive with sable citizens Male and female —of African descent, and now and then a sprinkling of whites. At eleven o’clock they had prettv well all assembled at a spa cious arbor erected in the upper end of town. When we arrived at the ground, exercises had already commenced, and Col. J, It. Parrott, as the 'chairman of the meeting, was addressing the crowd. His speech was occupied principally in demonstrating to the whites the pol icy as well as the accepting the fJber man bill as a settlement ofour difficul ties. His speech was short and to the j point, and well viewed by the crowd. I lie closed by introducing the Hon. James Milner ivho proceeded to place I himself squarely on the Reconstruction | Sherman bill and insisted on every bo” j aa d and black, to go along with him ami save the country from ruin and the Democratic party. We felt a little queer when we saw the Judge holding the aforesaid party out at arm’s length aad admmisteringtoits dilapida ted body kick after kick to tlie great delight of many ol the auditory.— But il was done in the Judges usual stvle who never does anything by j halves—whole bog or none. He closed i by saving that il what he had been ad vocating made him either a republican or a radical —then I am both. Col. Henry P. Farrow was the next speaker. He argued die necessity and the expediency of a cheerful acquies enee in the Sherman reconstruction bill —claimed that the only hope of tlie country was in the republican party — advocated a liberal system of free schools for black and white, to be main tained by taxing the property of the people ol the State, lie told the ne groes plainly to look for no confisca tion—that by ihe sweat of their brows they must obtain property —that the republican party bad done enough for them in giving them freedom —that it now remained for them to show a pros ner appreciation of the liberty which ihev had received by voting for their friends —the republican party By general consent the Col’s speech was calculated to have a good effect Tho’ we differed with him in some things, vet we listened to him with pleasure, especially as we knew he was speak ing the convictions of his life and not of the last few months or days, Wcj have known him all through ou r past difficulties as a firm friend of the U. S. government and the union of all the States under it, yet, while he has been ever a consistent friend of the unicn, through evil as well as good re port —in sun shine and in storm —he is willing tc live and let live and opposes every thing like confiscation and pro scription. The speaking closed by a rambling harangue from llevd. Mr. Gaskill. which strikingly iilustrated the old ad age about the zeal of new converts. The apeaking having concluded, about ; two hundred negroes formed themselves j in a line — ala mililaric —marched , through—up and down and back and ; forth during the whole evening, all the streets public and private of the town, ami filled the air almost incessantly -frl with yells and screams without sign it- j icance, to the great annoyance .ot ail • quiet population. \\ litis passing main street some imprudent young man whose name we dal not learn,but who had taken several cztra drinks, threw a 1 rock in the crowd, which hit nothing and hurt nobody. 11 ■ was instanhy , ' reported by them as having thrown at ' their flag and a few minutes afterwards j a spectator in the lower end of tow;: ; might have seen a file of! IS. Infantry in hot persuit of said young gentleman tiring vollev after volley at him as lie 'double quieked over high fences and level fields. One or two negroes we . heard joined in and assisted in the fi ring by the use of their pistols. We have not learned the fate of the young 'man some reporting him as killed, o' j vht-.rs as badly wounded and others as not imrl. It made us feel quite sad to witness-such a thing in our community, but we suppose it is all right and in ac cordance with orders of the powers that be. The following resolutions were a dopte-d Ly the meeting : M hereas, The restoration of our country to peace and prosperty should he the wish of ail good citizens; and whereas, concert of action is necessary for the accomplishment of so important an object; therefore. Resolved, 1. That we cordially ap prove and endorse the platform of principles adopted by the Union Re publican State Convention, held in Atlanta on the 4th of July last. 2. That the friends ol Reconstruction throughout the State are he-eby solic ited to co operate with us in recon structing our beloved Stale upon those principles. 3. That all papers friendly to Recon struction are requested to publish the proceedings of this meeting. J. R. Parrott, Chairman. S. 11. Pattili.o, Secretary- The Sew Crisis—Tlie President »nd Congress on a ISroad Issue. From the New York Heraht. The “irrepressible conflict” between the President and Congress has sud denly broke out in a fresh place and in anew form, which promises to be something more than a nine davs’ wonder. Tlie “grave public conside rations” which have constrained Mr. Johnson to request the resignation of the Secretary ol vVar, Mr. Slanten. and the “grave considerations” which have constrained the latter to hold on to his office until the next me eting of Congress make up a broad issue, which simply outs the President to the duty of fight ing it out or the alternative of a base retreat in humiliation and disgrace.— The reply of Mr. Stanton to the Presi dent’s request involves an off nee from a subordinate to tlie Chief Executive ..llicer of the government without a parallel in the history of the conn'ry, But with the knowledge that the Civil Tenure of Office bill was passed by Congress expressly for bis protection, .Mr. Stanton has been eucovuaged to this unpreedented act of contemptu ous defiance. Yet still the question recure, is the. superior or the subordi nate officer by this act to become the master of the situation ? It strikes us that if the law will not admit of the removal of the contumacious Secreta ry in the absence of Congress, the President can and must suspend him. To recognize him in his office after this unsatisfactory passage at arms with him is to consent on the part of the Presi dent tc bis own degredation. But why this request upon Secretary Stanton to resign? Unquestionably it is because, as the bead of the War Office, j he stands in the way of the President’s ideas as to the execution of the reeon- ■ sanction laws of Congress. Mr. ! Johnson desires to apply these laws ( with a margin of liberality to those classes of the Southern people most | directly affected by them. It is on this j ground mainly, we presume, that he desires to get rid of General Sheridan, commander of tlie Fifth Military dis trict. But, with a little reflection upon the matter, Mr. Johnson has discover ed that the removal of Sheridan and the substitution ol even Rousseau in! his place would practically amount to nothing, so long as Rousseau remained subject to instructions coming through Secretary Stanton under the laws, rules and regulations of the army. Hence this question for Stanton’s resignation, i He declines point blank to withdraw | and fulls back upon Congress. We j hold, then, that the only course left to ! the President, if he would maintain the | dignity of his office and his own seifs | respect, is to suspend the refractory Secretary of War, and appoint or re- ( cognize some other person in the dis charge of his official duties for the time being. This, however, is but a limited view jof the case. Mr, Stanton’s suspension is not only necessary to tlie proper settlement oftlie personal issue between him and the President, but it becomes indispensable to Air. Johnson if be would so apply the reconstruction conditions of Congress as to give the whites of the South a fair field against the negroes. But is there not some danger in this thing of making a mar tyr of Stanton to his advantage as a Presidential candidate? There might be if he were left standing alone as a martyr. But there will not be any such danger if the whole five command ers of the five Southern military dis tricts are made martyrs of at tin: same time with their removal. The honors of martyrdom, in being tints dividid among half a dozen martyrs, will be neutralized, and so Mr. Stanton’s cal- J eolations upon tins-score will signally 1 fail. Phis, then, is ilie proper line of action for Mr. Johnson—thesuspension ol Stanton, the removal of the five mil itiry commanders, and the substitution for ail these of other men who will cm d'tally co-operate in the t xecution of the la us of Congress according to the t h oral ideas and purposes of the Presi dent towards the white population of ! the ten States directly concerned in I opposition to negro supremacy. • Upon this broad and general issue ; Mr. Johnson need not he afraid of j throwing down the gauntlet to the : radicals in our approaching Northern , Let it appear, and let it be fairly uiiiu.r-.tood, that while Southern reconstruction undersecretary Stanton and tiie preset.t Southern military commanders unde/ bis wing means negro supremacy in the South, ami the return of perhaps twenty or thirty negroes as a beginning to the present ! Congress from the Southern States, the execution ol the iaws of reconstruction aimed at by Mr. Johnson contemplates the supremacy of the Southern whites, so far at least as to exclude negroes from Congress,' and we shall have an issue which will change ihe face of things even this fall in the elections of Pennsylvania and New York. 1 he whole issue in the South depends upon the spirit in which these laws of reconstruction are applied. If the re strictions against rebels are rigorously enforced, while tire negroes, without question, are freely admitted to the suf frage, as they have been so far, tlie negroes will rule in the work ol reor ganization and send whom they please to Congress. If, on the other hand, the restrictions against the Southern whites are somewhat relaxed, and the require ments to suffrage are fairly applied to the blacks, the white majority, where it exists in any Southern State, will be brought into action, and white ascend ancy will be the result. We believe, too, that under this system Southern reconstruction may be so fairly accom plished as to compel even Ihe radicals ol Congress to accept it; for if the idea of universal suffrage lus now gone so far that it cannot be arrested, that other idea of general amnesty is close behind. If Jell Davis, on the bail volunteered by leading radicals, can be turned loose, surely we need no longer delay in letting ail the smaller fry of the rebellion go scot-free. Now, then, is the time lor President Johnson to make the issue we have suggested between his method of executing the laws of recon struction, which means .Southern white supremacy, and the Stanton method, which means Southern negro suprema cy and twenty or thirty negroes in the two houses a beginning before the expiration of the present Congress. Let Mr. Johnson prepare at once to try New \ ork and Pennsylvania on this test, and he will discover before the reassembling of Congress that they not yet ready to be jostled by Sambo in the United States Senate. Matrimonial Question. —A young man asked an. old gentleman for iiis daughter in marriage. The answer was, go into the orchard and bring a parcel of apples. Give me one half the whole number, and to the mother ones halt the balance and half an apple over, j and to the daughter one-half the re mainder and half an apple over, and have one left for yourself without cutting an apple, then if she is willing you can have her. lie solved the question and how many did he bring? Cotton in Texas. — Tlie iollowing is an extract from a letter received from Petersburg, Lavacca, county, Texas, dated July 3Gih. The prospects seem anything but encouraging in that quar ter : The whole country is completely de voured by worms, with now and then an exception, which 1 fear will not es cape them. Everything in the shape of cotton leaf has been devoured, or nearly so, within the hist week. Even small bolls have been eaten in part.— 'Pile destruction has been very great. The first bale of new cotton was received at Selma, Alabama, on Tues day last, and sold for 25 rents per pound. It was classed middling. £«gTPapers all through the interior of the State of Missouri, are complain ing ol the drought. Unless they have rain soon the farmers say the corn crop will be ruined. The Columbus Rope Factory is now turning out fourteen hund red pounds per clay of excellent article of rope, which is furnished at as low rates as the Northern article. —A traveler described New Eng land as the best watered country he e ver say. He couldn’t obtain anything to drink but water. Editorial Necessities. —lt is cur rently reported that a well known editor, about to start on a recent trip, requested his wife to put in his satchel what articles were necessary for an absence of two or three days. He lodged at- , and in the morning opened the satchel to take out some clean linen, when he found it to con tain only a bottle of whiskey and a bundle of old news-papers.
