THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. By SMITH. WIKLE & CO.] Written for the Standard A Express, INCIDENTS OF THE WAR From *n Unpublished Manuscript. *v x la»t or BAkrow cocstt, oeobgia. “Our cheerless days pas* on and on. Our hopes pass unfulfilled away. And things which seem the life oflife Are taken frotu us day by day.” Isate one gloomy afternoon I had Kone to the door, and was standing evidently on the </ui rive, for Je tie *oi* i/uoi, w hen a Confederate soldier rotle up to the gate. He sjioke fa miliarly, but I did not reeognizo him lie told me his name, “and,” said he, “thinking that you might not have heard from your husband in sometime, as i was {Missing I thought 1 w ould t ail, and perhaps could give you later news than you have had of him.” It had been six months that in* had been cut oif from home, and weeks and weeks since we had had any information of his whereaboute. I could hear that Wheeler's com mand had captured Htoneman in his mid to Macon; then I could hear that they had gone up into Tennes seo; hut still 1 could hear nothing di rect from him, and had no idea of where or what had been his fate, so J burs ted into tears, and begged him to tell me quickly what he knew of him. He told me that he belonged in his company under (Jen. Wheeler in the Ist Georgia regiment, and that he left him In Alabama only two days be fore with a part of his command, and that he thought he would probably be at home in a few days; he himself had obtained a furlough. So I found I had plenty to do then, for I knew that he would be sadly in want of clothing. The Yankees had, in spite of all my efforts, from time to time, carried off nearly every garment of clothes that he had left. They would take every yard of new cloth they could find and carry it off, and some times leave it in their camps torn or cut in shreds. Hut in a few days I succeeded in having a regular'sol dier’s outfit in readiness for him. I stmt late Saturday afternoon for his coat that a lady living not far off was making for him, and site sent me | word that she could not finish it be- ; fore the next day, Sunday, about ten o'clock. That night about nine o’clock he came, as ragged and as dirty as you could imagine a soldiercould he, who had been cut off from home, and for six months exposed to till the hard ships of a camp lift*. When within twelve miles of home his horse even gave completely out, and he was compelled to leave it, and would have been obliged to walk home, hut a lady kindly maned him a horse. The next morning the lady sent his coat home to him with a message that the scouts were all ordered out and that it was rumored that a Yan kee force would soon be*in, and he was compelled to hurry off just as soon as ho could get' his dinner. Hood’s army was then en route for Tennessee, and not many miles dis tant from us, hut, like Johnson in his retreat, every thing was so quiet you could scarcely know that any thing of importance was transpiring. For two days and nights soldiers had been passing, but, although scouting for Hood’s army, we did not dream they were so near. That night about twelve o’clock, in the midst of a sound slumber, I heard a rap at my door; then the bolt turn ed, and the door, greatly to my as tonishment, came open. “ Who is there?” asked I quickly; but in the same breath I continued, “ If you are a gentleman, sir, you will not come into my room.” Greatly to my relief, a kind voice immediately answered, that it was only a citizen, a friend, and not to be at all alarmed, he would not come in; that he had been calling loud ly at the door for some time, and had rapt several times { and had only turned the holt thinking to awake someone, when to his astonishment it came open. He said he had been pressed into service by some of Gen. Hood’s scouts, anil that they were out to ascertain how far off the Yan kees were, and he had called to see if I could give him any information. I apologized for my door being un locked, which was more of a surprise to me than any one else. The ser vant had accidentally neglected to lock it, and I assured the gentleman we had great cause to be thankful that it had been a friend that had called instead of tin enemy, though bolts or locks made but little differ ence with them we found good cause to know much sooner than we ex pected. I told them that I thought the Yankees could not be far off from what 1 had heard late the evening before. Ho the gentleman and scouts went on and returned about day, and sent me word that there were hundreds of them camping not more than four miles off. Just after breakfast my husband rode up to the gate. L went out and begged him not to come in ; that we were momentarily expecting the Yankees; but in spite of my entrea ties he would come in. \Ye first placed the servants out in all direc tions as pickets; one carried his horse around (he had sent back the one he had borrowed to ride home, and I had fortunately but a short while be fore succeeded in buying a nice little }>ony, and had it in readiness for dm.) The servant had directions to hold it in readiness for him if the en emy should come up suddenly. We then came on in the house, and just as he was stooping to kiss the baby, that the nurse had brought in, a ser vant screamed out at the top of her voice: ‘‘l see some soldiers coming.” My husband wanted to go out and see who they were, but I insisted on his making Ids escape out of the back door until l could ascertain who they were. L ran to the window, and here they come sure enough, a party of Yankees. 1 ran back and holloed to him that they were Yankees, and to get off as quickly as he could. I then walked out us quickly as 1 could to the front door, and I could see Ben. He had been the farthest picket ofl', and said when he first espied them he could only see that they were sol diers, but he had waited to see that the other picket had let it be known, and then he had walked on into the road and met them, and I could well imagine why it was that he had step ped out just in front of them, and I could see that he was making every effort in his power to keep them back as long as he could; so 1 waited until they rode up, and as I saw one was as usual throwing open the gate to ride in, I said to him. hoping to delay him some little if possible: “If you please, sir, leave your horse on the outside, and walk in.” He rode on in however, not paying any atten tion whatever to my request, and in quired of me curtly: “ How many rebels have you seen to-dav, Madam?” “ Three or four, sir,” said I. Harry and Ernest had followed me out, and were standing near me look ing at the Yankees, when Ernest, a social, communicative little fellow, then aoout three years old, walked up and looking archly up into the soldier’s face, lisped out unusually dis tinctly for him : “ I seen a heap of soldiers to-day.” My fortitude almost gave way, for I expected every moment he would say, “and my papa is here too.” 1 saw though that I must not falter, so I said, “Come here to mother, Er nest,” and taking his little hand in mine, I gently stroked his hair, and waited, fearing every moment ado nouncement. The Yankee saw my cmbarrn-'inent, and endeavored to call the child to him, and with his soft words asked him several times how many soldiers he had seen. But all in vaiu, not another word could he elicit from the little fellow, for I hail succeeded in sealing his lips/ The Yankee becoming so importu nate in teazing the bov, and fearing he might succeed in drawing some thing from him, I turned to him and said: “ my child alone; I told you how many soldiers I had seen, and that is enough for you to know;” and then turning to the child I said: “ Ernest, mother don’t want you to talk to him any more.” 1 toolc him and turned off, and he turned around ami rode off. All this though had given my hus band time to leave. He went on in to the back yard, and in attempting to mount his pony his two dogs, Fauste and Moro, came up and came near preventing his mounting. They barked so furiously that he feared the Yankees would get in before he could get off; but he finally succeed ed, and the servant had two or three fences to let down and put up again, and just as he came back a Yankee rode up and stopped his horse, and it finished eating the oats that the pony had left. My husband went on, and just two mites from home he met one of our servants, and in two hours I knew he was “ far away ” and out of dan ger. Poor Ben! he was really sick from the excitement. The Yankees retired as they had come, and we had no more disturb ances that day; but that night I was destined to pass through the most terrible ordeal that had yet befallen us. POSTAL KINFLATIONS. The pillowing is an extract from an order recently issued by W. H. Terrell, Third Assistant Postmaster General, in regard to mutilated cur rency : Postmasters are not required by law to redeem, or accept in payment of postottice dues, money orders, stamps, or stamped envelopes, any currency which may be so mutilated as to be uncurrent, nor is it any part of their duty to receive and transmit to the Treasury for redemption, mu tilated currency belonging to indi viduals, except as regular mail mat ter, forwarded in the usual manner at the risk of the owner. Such pack age's if addressed to the “ Treasurer of the United States, Washington, 1). C.” will be sent free of postage, but if the same be registered, the registry fee must in all cases be prepaid by stamps. The necessities of the postal service are such that all funds receiv ed by postmasters must be kept in current and passable money so as to tie immediately available for paying the drafts of the department, money orders, and expenses of the service.' The following decisions have re cently been made by the Treasury and Postottice Department: Any package sealed against inspec tion is chargeable with letter postage. Miscellaneous matter contained in sealed and notched envelopes is sub jected to letter postage. To be sub ject only to printed matter rates, the envelopes must be left unsealed. Any book packet which is not open at the sides or ends, or has any letter, or communication in the na ture of a letter, written in it, or upon its cover, cannot be received or for warded in the mail, and it is the du ty of postmasters, whenever they have ground for suspecting an in fringement of any of the above con ditions, to open and examine book, packets, patterns, samples or other postal packets posted at or passing through their offices. It is a protection against loss to register letters containing money, but the registry fee must in all cases be prepaid by the party remitting. All regulations heretofore in force, subjecting mutilated currency of the United States to discount or redemp tion thereof, are hereby abrogated; but no claim for refunding discount heretofore withheld will be enter tained. Defaced and mutilated fractional and legal-tender notes, each equaling or exceeding by face measurement three-fifths of its original proportions in one piece, will, if in such a con dition that their genuineness can be clearly ascertained, be redeemed at the full face value of whole notes, in new notes or currency, by the Treas- j urer, the several Assistant Treasurers ' and designated depositaries of the i United States, and all national banks j designated as depositaries, and will also be received at their full face val ue by officers of the Treasury Depart ment in payment of all currency dues to the United States. The officers of the national bank depositaries, by whom such currency shall be redeemed or received, will not use it in their disbursements, but may forward it to the Treasurer of the United States at Washington, at the expense of the department under the contract with Adams Express Company. AN ESSENTIAL VIRITE. In its essence, and purely for its j own sake, neatness is found in few'. Many a man is neat for appearance’ sake; there is an instinctive feeling that there is power in it. When a man consults a physician or a lawyer for the first time, or comes to rent a house, or borrow money, he will come in his best dress; a lady will call in her carriage. A man who means business and honesty comes as he is, just as you will find him in his store, his shop, hi.-' counting-house. The most accomplished gamblers dress well; the most enterprising swindlers are faultlessly clothed ; but countless multitudes are but whitewashed sep ulchres. Too many “ don’t care, as long as it will not be seen.” Wash ington Allston, the great artist, and accomplished gentleman, suddenly left his friend standing at the door of a splendid Boston mansion as they were about entering for a party, be cause he had just remembered that he had a hole in his stocking. It could not be seen or known, but the very knowledge of its existence made him feel that he was less a man than lie oujjht to be ; give him a feeding of in feriority. All persons who are careless of per sonal cleanliness and tidy apparel, are infallibly and necessarily less of the angel, more of the animal; more un der the denomination of passion, less under the influence of principle. Said a poor servant girl: “ 1 can’t explain what change religion has made in me, but I look more closely under the door-mat, when I sweep, than I used to.” Intelligence, culture, elevation, give purity of body as well as purity of sense and sentiment. Where you see a neat, tidy, cleanly, cheerful dwelling, there you will find a joyous, loving, happy family. But if filth and squalor, and a disregard for the refining delicacies of life pre vail in any household, there will be found in the moral character of the inmates much that is low, degrading, ! unprincipled, vicious, and disgusting. I Therefore, as we grow in years, we I ought to watch eagerly against neg lect of cleanliness in person, and tidi i ness in dress. —Hairs Journal of \ Health. Shameful Demonstration.— The Charleston Courier, of Friday, says a dozen or more Ku-Klux pris oners arrived from Spartanburg yes terday afternoon, and were carried to the House of Correction for imprison ment until trial. On their way through the streets a large crowd of colored persons followed them, not withstanding they were guarded by United States troops, and applied the most insulting epithets to them. CARTKRSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 0, 187*2. LKTTFJt FRO* FLORIDA special Correspondence to the Morning New.. Ts UTEXCGiiEE. Via., April 22. 1872 1 suppose you have never heard the , news about 'that Yankee chap who got Ku-Kluxed down here. You must promise not to let any of Ku-Klux Committee fellows know anything about it, for they might de clare “ martial law” and have old Tustenuggee beseiged and starve us out, for rations are amazingly scarce. It was this way:—Yank he came down here and said he wanted to buy a mighty lot of land for a home for himself and all his jieople. Taxes fusing high we were all as keen as a two-edged sword to sell, and were all attention to Yank, who bounded round amongst us sort of like a coun try school master, only Yank never I»aid any board, but ate more chick ens and eggs than a traveling preach er, and broke down more of our old horses than a colony of free-nigger farmers, pretending to hunt land he never intended to find. When the old horses and chickens gave out, Ave thought Yank would too, but he stuck to us tighter than a pitch-plaster. lluw r to get clear of Yank was a problem we had to solve before planting time, so we all met in consultation—l believe that’s what the doctors call it—and after due con sideration we sent a committee of three to w ait ujion Yank and inform him of the danger of the various rep tiles and varmints down here after warm weather set in; how a Tax Collector was snake-bit in bed—by a setting hen; how a mule lay down on a tarantula and died before he got up; how a centipede crawled over a hoe handle and in less than five minutes the hoe-handle was bigger than a telegraph post, and the eye of the hoe burst all to smash; anil how the bears, after lying up all winter with out rations, wouid come out in the spring hungry and savage as a meat axe, and roam all over the country in search of some fellow to devour. Yank stood all this like a man, and vowed he would kill the last one of the pesky things before one of us should be hurt by them, and forth with invited all hands to join him in a general extermination bear hunt the next day, to start from “ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” (not the cabin made by Mrs Harriet Beecher Mandarin Stowe, but a genuine one made of Palmetto and clapboard,) near the river. Finding that Yank w r as akin to the boy in the apple tree, and was not to be frightend by grass, we concluded to try what virtue there was in Ku-Klux, and lost no time in procuring a bear-skin, which we fitted to a modern giant by the name of Barr, whose teeth looked for all the world like he might bite out the bottom of a pot and never smut his lips. Yank was spending the night with Uncle Tom, who, after telling him numerous bloody bear stories, put him to bed in an out-house, excusing himself for so doiug by claiming an increase in the family before morning. Said out house, like the most of us, had a weak place in it, and about the time Yank got to snoring “ The Barr” pitched in upon him and bit and scratched him in a shocking manner from stem to stern. Os all the yelling and squalling ever heard Yank eclipsed the loudest. The noise brought Uncle Tom to the rescue in his shirt tail, armed with a dim light, and an old flint gun that snapped three times before it kindled in the pan, and the Barr then made good his retreat ere the report. Yank was bloody all over, and lay speechless till morning. Some of the boys want to say it wasn’t a bear, but Uncle Tom says he saw the Barr and Yank swore he felt him. “ See ing and feeling is believing,” so you see it was a Barr. As soon as Yank got able to travel lie left for home, where he is no doubt now exhibiting bis wounds and giving his experience in bear fighting down in Florida. ******* Q. Klux. HOW \ LITTLE GIRL SAVE!) THE COM- MtMON SERVICE. A Remlniaence of the Chicago J’ire. In the course of an address to chil dren, the Rev. Charles P. Dorset, rec tor of the church of the Ascension, Chicago, Ills., recently related the following striking incident : “ A poor widow sent me a dollar and thirty-three cents in silver change saying that it was all she found in her dead husband’s pocketbook, and she wanted to give it to God. “ I told this to the children and their parents in the church of the As cension, in Chicago, and they soon found a way to use this widow’s mite “for God.” They said: “We will make a Communion Service of it.” So they added to it their gold rings and pieces of jewelry, and pocket pieces of silver, and a lady gave her dead boy’s silver cup, and so they kept on adding pieces of silver anil gold till we had enough; and then the artist made us a very beautiful chalice and patent all of silver and gold. “ Now I must tell you what came of it, and that shall be my second sto ry. When that dreadful fire which destroyed our churches and homes in Chicago was seen approaching our lit tle church, a little girl, seven years old, came with her lather to see what they could save. It was four o’clock in the morning, and there was no light except what came from the fire. But little Louisa Enderli found the communion service and saved it. She was soon lost from her father, and for four weary miles she made her way among the crowd of people who were hurrying awav from the burning dis trict. “ The wind blew the burning sand and cinders in her eyes and almost blinded them ; but she defended them as best she could with one hand, and clung to her precious treasure with the other, refusing to give it up till she had it in a place of safety. For three days she was lost to her’ father, she having been sheltered and cared for by a kind German family. When her father at last found her, she threw her arms about his neck, saying, ‘O papa, 1 saved the communion !’ But even then she could not give it up till she had placed it safely in the rector's hand. Now, children* I think that was an act of Christian heroism wor thy of the martyrs who died for their Lord’s sake in the olden days.” WHO ARE THE (.BEAT. The following words of Mr. George Hilliard, of Boston, are words of gold, that do honor to his heart and head, and are worthy to be written in Bi bles and in prayer books: “ I confess,” says he, “ that increas ing years bring with them an increas ing respect for men who do not suc ceed in life, as those words are com monly used. Heaven has been said to be a place for those who have not succeeded upon earth; and ’tis surely true that celestial graces do not best thrive and bloom in the hot blaze of worldly prosperity. 11l success some times arises from a superabundance of qualities in themselves good—from a conscience too sensitive, a taste too fastidious, a self-forgetfulness too ro mantic, a modesty too retiring. Ido not go so far as to say with a living poet that, ‘the world knows nothing of its great men,’ but there are forms of greatness, or at least of excellence, which ‘die and make no sign,’ these are martyrs that miss the pain, but not the stake; heroes without the laurel, and conquerors without the triumph.” VANCE. Vance has made a speech in States ville, North Carolina, against Rad ical.-. He likens the disfranchise ment of the leading Southern men to tying up the bull-dogs to rob the smoke-house. The following is good, and has a iwculiiir and pointed at this time, when the Radicals art harping on Whigiam to break up the Democracy: Now, I want to tell you some of the symptoms of a fellow when he begins to turn over. He first begins to talk about lieing “ independent.” [Laughter.) He i- not tied down to any party, will vote for what he thinks liest, etc. According to the diagnosis of the most skillful political doctors, thissympton means the same thing as the sheriff there says when he leads a horse out to the block and cries out: “ Who says, gentlemen, and now much ?” [Applause.] “ This is an independent horse!” [Great Ap plause.! In other words, he’s for sale. A man who is devoted to prin ciple cannot be independent. His priciples constrain him to vote with that party which will carry them out. The next symptom is* an in tense love of old Whiggery. [Laugh ter and applause.] When this comes out strong you may appoint a funer al. [Laughter.] Rati way’s Ready Relief can’t save him. [Great laugh ter and continued applause.] Ido protest and beg that if any man wants to join the Radical party he won’t prostitute the name of the old Whig. The old Whig party was at least a decent party. The Democrats in old times use to call it aristocratic, and to some extent it was. I can see now many of these old fellows who use to dress with scrupulous neatness, their boots so black and shiny that a puppy would bark at his image in them all day, [laughter,] his shirt collar white as paper and stiff as pasteboard; in his pocket he carried a copy of the National Intelligencer, and biowed his nose with the sound of a trumpet in a red bandanna hand kerchief. [Great laughter and ap plause.] Such men were the very salt of the earth for personal and po litical uprightness. They elevated no thieves and public plunderers to high positions in the government; they made no Littlefields the guardi ans of their State bonds ; they had no Sam Watts nor Jay-bird Jones on the bench. They associated politic ally with no Cuffee Mayos, Deweese, A. J. Jones, Windy Billys and Jor don Chambers. [Applause.] Their profane use of the name Whig reminds me of a circumstance that happened once in my law office. A fellow came in one day, and taking a seat with a very sheepish counte nance said, “ Governor, me and an other gentleman has got into a little scrape and I want you to help me out of it.” “ What sort of a scrape ?” said I. “ W-e-1-1, its a kind of dis pute,” said he. “ Well,” said he, again, “its a matter consumin' hogs, [laughter.] “ Well, how concerning hogs?” said I. “ Well v ” said lie. “ heacuses me of taking one of ’em.” [Great laughter. ] lie didn’t want to call it by its right name. Now, if any of you want to go over to get your share of this plunder that’s go ing around, don’t put it “ old Whig gerry.” [Great Laughter. | Don’t call it “ a matter of hogs,” but come out openly, call it by its true name— a matter of stealing. [Continued ap plause and laughter. | Some men pretend to find a great similarity between the doctrines of the old Whig party and Radicalism. There never was a greater mistake. There is no Whiggery in any of these violations of the Constitution and outrages upon civil liberty that I have mentioned. Light is not more widely separated from darkness than are the principles which distinguish ed these two parties. Just imagine, if you can, Henry Clay wallowing in the same bed with Billy Holden, Hon. Cuffy Mayo and Windy Billy Henderson, and Daniel Webster stir ring them with a stick. [Uproarous laughter.] I repeat, if you have any inkling for the flesh pots of Egypt, say so and be done with it. Be like the girl when her bashful sweetheart, ashamed to speak his mind, sat and swallowed his spittle in stupid em barrassment, and kept pressing her foot with his under the table. She finally exclaimed, “John, if you love me, why can’t you say so, like a man, and quit dirtying my clean stockings.” [Great laughter.] REASONS FOR DRESSING PLAINLY ON LORD’S DAY. 1. It would lessen the burdens of many who find it hard to maintain their places in society. 2. It would lessen the force of the temptations which often lead men to barter honor and honesty for display. 3. If there was less strife in dress at church, people in moderate circum stances would be more inclined to at tend. 4. Universal moderation in dress at church would improve the worship by the removal of many wandering thoughts. 5. It would enable all classes of peo ple to attend church better in unfa vorable weather. 6. It would lessen, on the part of the rich, the temptations to vanity. 7. It would lessen, on the part of the rich, the temptations to be envi ous and malicious 8. It would save valuable time on the Sabbath. 9. It would relieve our means of a serious pressure, and thus enable us to do more for good enterprises. The Chinese Wall.—Mr. Sew ard, who visited the great wall of Chi na during his visit to that country, recently gave the following descrip tion of that wonderful structure: The Chinese have been, for at least two or three thousand years, a wall making people. It would bankrupt New York or Paris to build the wall of the city of Pekin. The great walls of China is the Great Wall of the world. It is forty feet high. The lower thirty feet is of hewn limestone or granite. Two modern carriages may pass each other on its summit. It has a parapet througnout its whole length, with convenient staircases, buttresses and garrison houses at every quarter of a mile; and it runs, not by cutting down hills and raising valleys, but over the uneven crests of the mountains and down their gorges, a distance of a thousand miles. Ad miral Rodgers and I calculated that it would cost more now to build the Great Wall of China, through its ex tent of one thousand miles than it has cost to build the fifty-five thousand miles of railroad in the United States. —Exchan a \ Judge Davis, whose name has be come somewhat prominent in connec tion with a possible nomination by the Cincinnati Convention for the Presidency, is a native of Cecil county, Maryland, where he still ownsafarm inherited from his ancestors, and re tained by him on that account.

Experience has taught us that the old plan of constant cultivation is not the most profitable with this crop, and that the best results are obtained by careful cultivation the first year, jiermitting the weeds to grow the until the crop lias been gathered, after which a deep and thorough cultivation is advisable. By this we mean a thorough stirring of the soil and destruction of weeds. No matter which mode of cultivation has been adopted by our readers, it is essential at this season to mulch the vine with draw, leaves, pine tags, or some kindred article, anti this should be done as son as practi cable. This mulch accomplishes three im portant objects: ft prevents “chok ing from weed- it secures against injury from early droughts; and also protects the fruit from “ sanding” by summer rains. The mulch should lie spread even ly, and in quantity just enough to cover the vines. There is nothing gained by putting on a very heavy mulch. In garden culture a light coating of horse manure will answer an excellent purpose, acting as a mulch and fertilizer at the same time. The manure is not practical in field culture, from the fact that the mulch is just as important in the spring as in the winter. In March or April go over the beds with wooden rakes, carefully draw ing the hay or straw off from the vines toward the spaces between the rows, and setting the hay under the leaves, to be left there until the ber ries are gathered. This summer mulch, in the first place, keeps the ground moist and the surface loose, preventing, to some extent, the growth of weeds, while at the same time the berries are kept clean and from fine sand, which is a very se rious matter with strawberry grow ers who cultivate their berries on sandy ground, without mulching. In fact, on light sandy soil, summer mulching is ten times as important as winter mulching. —Southern Plan ter and Fanner. GEORGIA CROP NEWS. Heard county—Farmers badly be hind, says the News. Early county—Poor stands of corn; little cotton planted, says the News. Small grain looks well, such as rye and oats. Clarke county—Farm and garden operations very active, quotes the Banner. Mitchell county—Short crops, cer tain ; corn to be replanted, and little cotton in the ground, savs the Her ald. Banks county—Farmers behind. Wheat looks wells, but little planted. No clover visible, says the Athens Watchman. Monroe and Pike counties—-C-otton planting begun, and but little corn above ground, and much of that must be replanted. Less corn than usual planted. Grain unusual prom ising. Less wheat than usual sown. All busy, says the Macon Telegraph. Floyd county—Farmers working vigorously for ten days of good weather, says the Commercial. Hancock county—Farmers prepar ing for a larger cotton crop than ever, says the Times. simniNf;. A sagacious fruit-grower mulches his place heavily, and never removes it from one year’s end to the other. His soil is always cool and mellow and his trees and vines never suffer from heat, his fruit is large, fair and delicious, and his produce is extraor dinary in quantity, For all newly planted trees in'the Spring of the year, mulching is the only safe gur antee of their success; without mulching many will fail; with it not one should be lost. The practice is also a saving of labor, and if the mulch is applied two or three inches deep it will keep down all weeds. Mulching can also be used to retard the ripening of fruit from three to five days. Upon light, sandy soil, currants can not be grown without it. Pears dropping from the tree are safe from bruises. Tomatoes well mulched will double their produce. We scarcely know of a single objec tion to mulching, and in our experi ence it has proved to be one of the most economical and efficient aids to fruit culture ever brought to the no tice of the public. DISEASES OF SPRING Dr. Hall’s “ Health by Good Liv ing” says: It is an indisputable, physiological truth, that if the instincts ' of nature were yielded to in the Spring; were cherished in her desire to take less and less food as the weather grows warmer, as they are yielded to in the Autumn in taking more, a very large amount of the diseases of Spring and Summer would be avoided. The great practical lesson to be learned in reference to the subject, a question of health and disease —yes, in multi tudes of cases, a question of life and death—is simply this: As the Win ter passes and the balmy spring-time comes on, do nothing to increase the appetite, eat no more than is called for, do not be uneasy because you have little or no relish for your food; eat less and less every day. The very best way to increase the pleas ure of eating is to change the quality of food; use articles less carbonace ous, less warming; send from your table the pork and bacon, and fat meats, oils, and sugurs, and starches, and sago, and the rich pastries; got hold of the early “ greens,” the spinach, the salads, the turnip-top, the radish, the early berry, and the daily fruit, and lean meats; pay in creasing attention to the cleanliness of the skin ; be more in the air; sleep in better ventilated rooms; let your windows be raised high at night, and your inner doors be left wide open. Tomatoes.— A chemist of some ce lebrity—Dr. Bennet by name—con siders the tomato an invaluable arti cle of diet, and ascribes to it impor tant medical properties. He regards it as peculiarly useful in all those af fections of the liver and other organs where calomel is considered indispen sable ; and believes that a chemical pill can be obtained from it which will altogether supersede the use of Calomel. He say's that it is also, al most a sovereign remedy for dyspep sia and indigestion, and advises the frequent use of it as an article of diet. Just think of it! exelai ms the Ath ens Watchman. Just think of it! Our farmers are feeding their plow stock on hay costing fifty' dollars a ton, and grown in the valley' of the Connecticut, Aroostock, Wabash, or at some other point ten or fifteen hundred miles off! when they could furnish it themselves at from two to five per ton! We do not use appples enough in our families. Baked sweet apples should be on our tables every day. Home prefer sour apples. We should use them in tarts, pies, puddings, ap ple sauce, apple butter, or in some way, every day. They are more healthy than wheat and pork. To preserve Potatoes in a pftper state lor food for many y'ears, says the Stamford Mercury , it is only nec essftry to scald them, or subject them to a heated oven for a few minutes. By doing this they will never sprout, and the farinaceous substance will keep good for many y’ears, provided the skin be entire. They' should be well dried after being scalded. WHAT SHALL ATE DO ATI 1 11 01 R AUIF.IT ! From the Plantation.] It is not always wise to count our chickens before they are hatched; but our Wheat harvest is approaching. It is hardly to be expected that we shall encounter another such a year of Wheat dDa-ter a- our last. If our Wheat turns out well, it is more than usually necessary that we should olt tain the best possible price for it. White Wheat is now worth in New York, *2.02j; in St. Louis, Red Wheat is worth *2.00, and White Wheat >2.2-3. A large amount will lie brought into the cities on the opening of navigation, but not enough to affect the market, as consumption proceeds rapidly. The California crop promises largely, but will be late in reaching the Northern markets, a< it must double the cape, which in volves a long and tedious voyage. There is nothing in the European markets which indicates a decline in prices there. Our prospect at the South for remu nerative prices for the coming Wheat crop is excellent. Much will depend, however, upon the promptness of our Wheat-growers. If proper measures are adopted, our Wheat may be out, threshed and be placed in New York before their Wheat is cut, and before there can be any decline in prices. To accomplish this, Wheat for mar ket should be cut much earlier than is customary among Farmers at the South. They are familiar with the fact that when the corn stalk is cut down when the grain is simply glazed, there are juices enough left in the stalk to mature and harden the grain. The same fact occurs in the case of Wheat. When Wheat is cut before it is fully ripe, the grain makes better bread, and the straw makes better stock food. These remaks do not ap ply to Wheat designed for seed, which should be fully ripe before it is cut. The necessity for early harvesting of Wheat in case of any appearance or indication of rust becomes impera tive. It is much better in that event to eut too soon than too late. In the latter, the loss is total, while in the former, a large amount of valuable stock feed is saved. We are hopeful on the whole that, by good management, our Wheat crop may do much towards relieving the Wheat growing section of the South of its pecuniary distress. H. THE RAIIIE PLANT. This plant grows like a weed in Bartow County. The seed was sown on the farm of the writer the year before last. Last year, without any cultivation, in fact, with a fair contest with grass and weeds, it grew up wards of six feet tall. In the Autumn it was bitten down by cattle, which are extremely found of it. This Spring it has shot up again with great vigor, and is now waist high. If the liberal premium, *25,000, offered by the British Government for an economical method of preparing the fibre of this plant for manufacture, shall result in the discovery of such a method, we at the South will be able to supply the material in any qua»tity and at a trifling expense. There is anotliere plant which, in this relation, seems worthy of at tention ; the sun-flour. Last year the writer saw some of the fibre of the sun-flower in the hands of a gentle man in Atlanta. It seemed to be quite as strong as that of the Ramie or New Zealand flax. Some of our ladies who grow the sun-flower, and all should grow it who raise poultry, may find it interesting and perhaps useful to experiment with the fibre of this plant. H. — Plantation. Chicken Chrolera.— The chick en cholera has proved very fatal in many sections, and a great variety of remedies have been recommended.-- But as in the case of the Asiatic cholera with the human family, what appears to cure in one case fails in another. In Virginia a gill of soot in a gallon of mush fed two or three times a week, has been recommended as a preventive. A free use of charcoal about the hen-house is some times beneficial. One teaspoonful of pulverized alum to a quart of meal, fed twice a day; an ounce of bi sulphate of soda in a gallon of water; a piece of asafoetide of the size of a large pea put into a pint of water in a bottle and soaked over night, then crushed in the morning, well shaken and mixed with the food of a large flock, are among the remedies that have proved in some cases beneficial. We judge from the reports we have seen, that alum has proved more generally beneficial than any other remedy.-— Xeiv England Farmer. A friend informs us that he drives the worms from his cabbage by scat tering wheat-bran over the growing plants. There is something about the bran that is distasteful to the worms, and they leave immediately upon its being scattered upon the cabbage. He repeats the dose once or twice. The bran does not injure the 1 cabbage.— Exchange. The Cuthhert Appeal says that Mr. Haywood May, of Randolph county, has gone over his cotton the first time. On Monday night last, a negro was driving a team belonging to Mr. I). C. Adams, of Fort Gaines, across a bridge over the Colemokee (’reek, the horses became frightened and leaped from the bridge into the water and were drowned. The Chronicle and Sentinel says that the Republicans in Richmond county have appointed B. Conley, white, (’. H. Prince, white, J. F. Quarles, colored, Iklwin Belcher, col ored, Joe Williams, colored, and W i I - White, colored, delegates to the State Convention, which meets in Ma con.

AI3I)A JOHNSON. 5 2-ts President. Tlie Western Antidote ! McCUTCH EON’S CHEROKEE INDIAN BITTERS. This highly valuable Indian Remedy is too well known, whenever il has been used, to require special nolice. * Those who are unacquainted with its won derful operation upon the system will find it a certain remedy in all Diseases of the Kidneys. Bladder and Urinary Organs. It is very useful in Rheumatism, l.iver Com plaint, Ague-Cake Dysentery and other complaints. It warms the stomach and bowels: cures Colic anl Obstructions of the Breast; sustains excessive labor of both bo dy and mind; cures the Piles, promotes the .Appetite, assists Digestion; prevents un pleasant dreams and frights: strengthens the judgment; cures Nervous, Asthmetical and Hysterical Affections; removes all the dis orders of weaknes and debility ; purifies the Blood; cures Neuralgia aud Dispepsia, to gether with most Diseases peculiar to Fe males. Old and young, male and female, have been greatly benefitted by its use, as hundreds o. letters from all parts of the United States will certify. Let those who are unac quainted with McCutcheox’s “Cherokee In dian Bitters,” before saying this is too ranch, try a bottle, and all who do so will unite in testifying that the half has not been told. Cherokee Indian Hitters possesses an ener gy which seems to communicate new life to the system, and renovate the feeble, fainting powers of nature. Its operation upon the tissues of the body does not consist in affect ing the irritability of the living fibre, but in imparting a sound and healthy stimulus to the Vital Organs. It strengthens substantially and durably the living powers of the animal machine; is enlirely innocent and harmless; may bead ministered with impunity loboth sexes, and all conditions of life. There is no disease of any name or na ture, whether of young or old, male or fe male, but that it is proper to admin : ster it, and if it be done seasonably and persever ing!}’ it will have a good effect. It is per fectly incredible to those unacquainted with the Bitters, the facility with which a heal thy action is often in the worst case restor ed to the exhausted organs of the system; with a degree of animation and desire for food, which is perfectly astonishing to all who perceive it. This Medicine purities the blood, restores tue tonic power of the fibres, and of the stomach and digestive organs; rouses the animal spirits, and substantially fortifies and reanimates the broken down constitutions of mankind. Indians are the most healthy of the human race. They take an abundace of physical exercise, breathe pure air, and live on sim ple diet. When sick, they use no mineral poisons, but select roots, herbs, and plants “from the great drug store of their Cra ter.” McCutcheon’s “ Cherokee Indian Bittep.s” is a combination of these vegeta ble substances which render it entirely in nocent to the constitution of the most ile'i cate male or female. The wonderful power which these “Bitters" are known to pos sess in curing diseases, evinces to the world that it is without a parallel in the history of medicine, and afford additional evidence that the great benefactors of the country are not always found in the temples of wealth nor the mazy walks of science, but among the hardy sons of Mature, whose original, untutored minds, unshackled by the forms of science, are left free to pursue the dic tates of reason, truth and common sense. Since the introduction of this remedy in o the Unite 1 Stales ihousauds have been raised from beds of affliction whose lives were despaired of by their physicians and pronounced beyond the reach of medicine McCutcheon's “Cherokee Bitter*’’ has driven the most popular medicines of every name, like chaff before the whirlwind, from every city, town and village where j: has been introduced, and is destined ere long to convince the world that the red mans rem edies are the white mans choice. For dis eases peculiar to the female sex there is nothing better. Old and young, inale and female, have all been greatly benefitted by its use. Hundreds of certificates, from ail parts of the United States, which are enti tled to the fullest confidence, speak of it in the most favorable manner. These are no only from persons who have been cured by it, but also from some of the most eminent physicians and druggist who have success fully tested it in their practice, and volun tarily offer their testimonials in its favor For sale by all Dealers.
