Wortb County,
Isabelia, April 24,18C8.
Mr. Sneed ; Below you will find a true
consolidated vote of this county in tho elec
tion just over. All quiet
Unnecessary Bloodshed.
Col. John Forsyth, of the Mobile Adver
tiser, agrees with the opinion often set forth
in these columns, that the late terrific war,
with its horrid details of blood andsufferin
might all have been avoided and the Union
preserved, bad the counsels of the North
been directed by the brains 01 a true States
man. In one of his recent letters from Wash
ington, in closing some remarks on tho death
of Lincoln, he writes:
“His death by violence was the startliug
and not unnatural winding up of a long epoch
of bloody violence, which, bad be been able
to grasp the political problem as it stood in
the Spring of 18G1, with a statesman’s hand,
might have been all avoided. I think no
proposition is truer than that, if, when the
Confederate Commissioners were in this city
in March and April of that year, the Admin
istration had said, through them, to the “way
ward sisters, depart in peace,” the experiment
of secession would have broken down, and a
truce, with guarantees to the South then
deemed satisfactory, would have been the
result—thus restoring the Union without
blood.
Virginia had not then seceded, and would
not have seceded if the administration had
abstained from force, and allowed the South
ern experiment to run its course in peace.—
The guns of Sumter and the first drop of
blood spilled whirled Virginia out of the
Union to make common cause with her
Southern confederates."
We have never entertained a doubt of the
correctness of these views. A stand-still
policy on the part of the Radical party, then
in power, a mere abstinance from force, as
Mr. Buchanan recommended and the Demo
cratic party sustained, would have been fol
lowed by a return to the Union, within a
twelvemonth, of nearly, or quite, every South
ern State. The adoption of a simple resolu
tion by Congress, assuring the Southern peo
ple that there was no desire on the part of
the North to oppress them or take away their . . . . .. ™™.™ __ r
constitutional rights, would have secured the “Ta teTspo^Tf'iodiSa^
Union beyond perad venture. But it was not
so ordered. The Radicate bated the South
and thirsted for blood. The result we have
before us—a long and desolating .war,- a dis
solved Union, a distracted people, and proba
bly the loss of the liberties of both sections.

Rumor says that Mrs. H. B. Stowe
has seen cause from personal observation of
the Southern negroes, to modify her opinions
as to the intelligence, honesty and nobility of
that race.
Speculations as to the Result of the
Impeachment Trial.—As the impeachment,
trial draws to a close, the probable verdict of
the Judges and Jurors attracts some interest
and gives rise to considerable discussion.—
The exact power of the Senate is debated
and particularly with regard to the point
whether, if they convict, they must necessa
rily inflict tbe penalty of removal and future
disqualification to hold office. Tbe weight
of tbe opinion seems to be in favor of the
view that the penalty is not an inevitable
sequitur of conviction UDder a fair construc
tion of the seventh clause of the third sec
tion, article first of the constitution, and
therefore that tbe Senate is at liberty to lied
tlie accused guilty without proceeding to tho
extremity of removal from office. The do
velopment of this new point has given rise to
divers rumors, among which is one to the ef
fect that the Senate will avail itself of this
liberal construction, end, though it will find
him guilty, still will not remove President
Johnson. It is hardly probable that any
such policy will be adopted, and far more
likely that the Senate, if it halts at all, will
conclude to acquit the President entirely by a
solid Republican vote on that side. Such
course as this might save the party, and
would avoid the dangers that might attend
an attempt at removal. It would have the
appearance of impartiality and magnanimity,
and would do more good to the party than
conviction or removal.— Cor. N. T. Herald.

An Excellent Fertilizer.—One of the
very best artificial fertilizers used upon our
farm, for all tbe cereal grains and root crops,
wo bavo prepared in the following manner:
Take one barrel of pure, finely-ground bono,
and mix with it a barrel of good wood-ashe9;
during the mixing, add gradually about three
pailfuls of water. Tbe heap may be made
upon the floor of an outbuilding, or upon the
barn floor, and, by tho use of a hoe, the bone
and ashes must be thoroughly blended to
gether. The water added is just sufficient
to liberate the caustic alkalies, potash and
soda, and theso react upon the gelatine of
the bone, dissolving the little atoms, forming
a kind of soap, and fitting it for plant ali
ment. In this way, the most valuable^ con
stituents of bones can be made immediately
available, and the addition of potash and
soda aids in the formation of a fertilizer of
inestimable value. The water added is not
sufficient to mnkc a pasty mass, difficult to
dry, but is enough to liberate the strong
alkalies from the ashes.
This preparation is so cleanly, convenient
and useful, every farmer should prepare as
much as possible for his crops during the

It must bo used in small quantities, or in
about the same way as the so-called super
phosphates. A barrel of this mixture^ is
worth two of any of tbe commercial fertili
zers, and the cost will bo but about half as
much. It remains to be added, if the bone-
meal and ashes are very dry, four pailfuls ot
water may be required ; but care must be
exercised not to have it inconveniently moist.
It will bo ready for use in a week after it is
made. Pure, raw, finely-ground bone and

we were leaving our residence on our usual
morning visit to the ofljee a sorrel horse be
longing to us galloped up and caugbt our arm,
and made an attempt to pull us iu the direc

off iu a quick gait toward a pasture on a farm
about a quarter of a mile distant from onr
residence. In a few moments lie approached
Us again, making an unusual noise, nnd

him. This we did, and when we reached
the pasture we observed the mate of this
horse entangled in a bridge which had

came up and rubbed his head against us,
showing great signs of satisfaction.

An Old Farmer’s Slate.—Writing about

not always think of what is needful and may
bo done when leisure times occur, and it re
calls to my mind the practice of a large and
successful farmer, who at bis death left his
affairs in a prosperous condition, and his
premises in complete order. His neighbors
often wondered at the case with which ho
conducted his operations; he never, hurried,
but the right thing was always done at the
right time and his work never lagged. Much
ot tho improvement he made was in odd
spells when the routine of regular farm work
was broken by rainy weather, or after finish
ing the work on a crop, and while waiting
for another to get to the proper sta~e. He
kept a large slate hanging in the kitchen
where all his workmen could see it, and
whenever a job occurred to him it was noted
on the slate. For instance, some of his eu-
trics ran thus: “Make a gate for the brook
tot;” “Clean out tho open ditch in the wheat
field;” “Lay a new floor on the scaffold over
the barn floor;” “Bury the large stone in the
middle lot;” “Get some white-wood tree3 to
mill for making garden-fence pickets;” “Plant
shade trees along the roadside;” ‘‘Dig the al
ders out of the fence corners, and look after
tho wild mustard that came.up where tho
threshing-machine stood in the field last
year.” In this way his slate was filled, and
if a leisure half-day occurred his men all had
plenty of work; nnd if the master happened
to be absent, the slate told the workmen
bat to do. After & time it was his custom

Notwithstanding the universal desire for
life,'which is instructive, we thoughtlessly
hasten the approach of the very calamity we
so much dread. With all the light ot modern
science, in an age, too, remarkable for intelli
gence, wc pursue practices daily which we
know are destructive. Each thinks himself
removed from the dangers which threaten
others; and acting upon the idea that all
others are mortal but ourselves, we at lastfall
as generations have before us, to be remem
bered no more forever.

Behavior in Company.—Leigh Rich

vice to his daughters: “Be cheerful,
but not gigglers. Be serious, but not dull.
Be communicative, but not forward. Be
kind, but not servile. Beware of silly,
thoughtless speeches; although you may for
get them, others will not. Remember, God’s
eye is in every company. Beware of levity
and familiarity with young men ; a modest
reserve, without affectation, te the only safe
path. Court and encourage conversation
with those who are truly serious and con-
. ersable; do not go into valuable company
without endeavoring to improve by the in
tercourse permitted to you. Nothing is more
unbecoming, when one part of a company is
in profitable conversation, than that another
part should be trifling, giggling and talking
comparative nonsense to each other.”

At the iate Press Banquet given in New
York on the lOtb, in honor of Mr. DickeDa,
that gentleman responded to the toast, “Our
Guest,” as follows:
Gentlemen: I cannot do - better than to
take my cue from your distinguished Presi
dent, and refer in my first remarks to hisfirst
remarks in connection with the old associa
tions between you and me. When I received
an invitation from a private association of the
members of the press of New York, to (line
with them to day, I accepted that dornpli-
ment in gratetul remembrance of a culling
that was once mine, and in loyal sympathy
towards a brotherhood which, in the spirit^
I have never deserted. [Applause,] ’ To the
whole-soul 'training of severe newspaper
work, when I was a very young man, I con
stantly regarded my first success. [Ap
plause.] And, too, my sons will hereafter
testify of their father that he was always
proud of that ladder by which he rose.—
[Renewed applause.] If it were other
wise, I should have but a very
poor and mean opinion of that father which
perhaps, upon the whole, I have not* [Great
laughter.] Thus, gentlemen, under any cir
cumstances, this company would have been
unexcojitionably interesting nnd, agreeable to
me ; but where, as I suppose, that, like the
fancied pavilion of the Arabian Knights, it
would be a mere handful, I find it drawn out
like the same pavilion, capable of compre
hending a multitude. So much the more
proud am I of the honor of being your guest,,
for you will readily believe that the more
widely representative of the press in America
nly entertainers are, the more I must feel the
good will and kindly sentiments towards me
of that vast institution. [Applause.] Gen
tlemen, so much of my voice has lately been
heard in the land; [laughte-r]; I have for
upwards of four hard Winter months, had to.
contend against what I have been sometimes
quite admirably assured was a great American-,
catarrh; [greatlaughter]; a visitation which;
I have thoroughly and highly appreciated,
[applause and laughter] though I might have
preferred to be naturalized by aDy other so
cial or physical uu ans. [Laughter.] I sayq
gentlemen, so much of my voice liar
lately been heard in the land, that 1
might have beeu contented not to trouble
you any further, from my present standing
point—were it not a duty with which 1
henceforth charge myself, not only hero fra*
on every suitable occasion whatsoever and
wheresoever, to express my high nnd grate
ful sense of my second reception in America
and to hear my honest testimony to the na
tional generosity and magnanimity. [Great
peering.] Also, to declare how astonished!
have been by tlie amazing changes that I Ifevc
seen around me on every side; changes
moral, changes physical, changes in the
amount of land peopled, changes iu the rise
of vast new cities, changes in the growth of.
older cities, changes in the graces and ameni
ties of life, changes in the press, without
whose advancement no advancement can take
place anywhere. [Great applause.] Nor
am I, believe me, so arrogant as to suppose
that in five and twenty years there have been.
nocbaDges in me, and that I had nothing to>
learn, and no false impressions to correct,
formed when I was here first. [Thunders of
applause.] But, gentlemen, this brings me
to a point on which I have, ever since
I landed here last November, observed n
strict silence, though sometimes tempt
ed to break it; and in reference to it i
will, with your good leave, take you into
my confidence. [Great merriment and cries
of “hear, hear.”] I find the press, being
human, may be sometimes mistaken or misin
formed. [Laughter.] But I rather think!
have iu one or two rare instances, known its
information to be not perfectly correct, [roars
of laughter,] with reference to myself. [Re
newed laughter. Indeed, I have now and ;
again been more surprised by printed nevre-
that I have read of myself than by any print
ed news that I have read in my present state
of existence. [Applause.] The vigor and
perseverance with which I have for many
months been collecting materials and haittr
mering. away at a new book on America,
[laughter,] is much, as it might seem ; that
all that time it has been perfectly well known
to my publishers, on both sides of the At
lantic, that I positively declared no considera
tion on earth should ihduce me to write,
[laughter,] but what I have intended, wliat!
have resolved upon, and this is the confidence
I seek to place in you, that on my return to
England, in every English journal, manfully,
promptly, plainly, in my own person, to bear,
forthebehoot of my countrymen, such testi-
mouy.to tbe gigantic changes ia this coun
try as I have hinted at. [Applause,] Also
to recall that wherever I' have been, in tho
smallest places equally with the largest, I
have been received with unsurpassable po
liteness, delicacy, sweet temper, hospitality,,
and with unsurpassable respect for the pri
vacy daily enforced upon me by the nature
of my avocation here and the* state of my
health. [Applause.] This testimony, so long?
as my desccndents have any legal right ia>,
my books, shall I cause to be published ns-
an appendix to every copy of those two
books of mine in which I have referred to
America. [Thunders of applause.] And'
this I will do, and cause, to be done, not
in my loving thankfulness, but because I
regard it ns an act of plain justice and
honor. [Applause.] Gentlemen, this ex
pression of my own feelings of-an interest
in America, and those of the most of my
countrymen, seems to me but a natural one,
whether or not do I make it an express
object. I was asked in this very cityi.
about last Christmas time, whether an
American, was not av some disadvan
tage in England as a foreigner. The
notiou of aa American being regarded as
a foreigner at all; of his ever being
thought of, or spoken of in that character,,
was so incongruous.and absurd to me that
my gravity was, for the moment, quite over
powered. " [Applause.] As soon as it was
restored I said that for yearspast I had hoped
I had as many American friends, and received
as many American visitors as almost any En
glishman living. [Applause.] And that my
unvaried experience, fortified by others, wne
that it was enough iu England to be aa
American to be received with most earnest
respect and recognition anywhere. "When sti
American gentleman of cultivated taste for
art found himself, on a certain Sunday, out
side tbe walls of a certain historical English
castle, famous for its pictures, he was refused
admission there, according to the strict xulee
of the place on that day, but by merely repre
senting that he wa3 an American gentleman on
his travels,and had yet to see that picture gal
lery, tbe castle was placed at his immediate
disposal. [Great applause and laughter.]
There was a lady, too, being in London, and
having a great des'ire to see the famous read
ing room of the British Sluseum, was assured
by the English family with which she re
sided that it was unfortunately impossible,
because the place was dosed for a week, and
she only had three days to stay. Upon that
lady’s gofog, as she assured me, alone to the
gate, self-introduced as an American lady,
the gate flew open ss if by magic. [Laugh
ter and applause.] I am honestly bound to
add that she was certainly youDg and ex
tremely pretty. [Laughter and applause.]—
Still the porter of that institution is of an
obese habit, und, to the best of my observa
tion, not very impressible. [Laughter.] Now,
gentlemen, I refer to these trifles as collateral
assurance to you that the Englishman who
shall humbly strive, as I hope to do, to be as
faithful to America as to England herself, has
no previous conception to contend against.
Finally, gentlemen, I leave this subject to
your conviction. I do believe that from the
great majority of minds on botli sides of the
ocean there cannot be absent the conviction
that u would I e better for this globe to be
riven by an earthquake, nred by a comet, run
over by an iceberg, or abandoned to Arctic
foxes and bears, than that it should present
the spectacle oftlu -e two great nations, each
of whom has in ru own way striven so hard
! and so successfully for freedom, ever again
tin being arrayed,the one agaiust the other
