March 2,1861 (oltlraiitn of Potatoes. Editors Southern Cultivator—The Pota to now esteemed so highly as an article of food, like all other inventions or discover ies, had great difficulty in overcoming the skepticism of the world. So great, in deed, was the prejudice of some nations to the Potato, that nothing short of dire ne cessity ever induced them to give it the benefit of an experiment. This crop, more than any other, has prevented the recur rence of those dreadful famines of which we read in the history of Europe. The reason is quite obvious. The Potato is adapted to almost every soil and exposure within the tropics. It is affected less by drouth or excessive rain—in a word, con sidering labor and expense, the yield and itsgeneral utility, the Potato is tlie cheap est crop grown. It matters not how care lessly cultivated, there will be some remu neration ; but like the other crops, the re ward is in proportion to labor. What an egregious error for the ignorant, or the prejudiced, to suppose their meagre crop of stringy Potatoes as a great per cent, on labor and expense as the abundant yield of esculent Potatoes, produced by tbe care ful, scientific Agriculturist." Natura dedit mortalthus sine labore,” particularly a good Potato crop. Tbe soil best adapted to the Potato, is sandy loam, or that loose porous land call ed, grey land. There are few farmers in Middle Georgia, but xvho have some land more adapted to the Potato than other por tions of their farm. The true policy is to reserve such portions especially for this produce. How important the study of soils! Almost any clod-hopper can dis tinguish red, stift", thirsty land from grey land. Now for the preparation and cultivation. If the land is clear of weeds, trash, &c., some time before the fall of heavy winter rain, subsoil it eight, ten or fourteen in ches. If there is vegetable matter on the surface, after subsoiling, turn the whole under, taking care to use a shallow turn plow. On stiff land this caution is unnec essary. The next step is bedding, which may be done from tbe 20th of February to the middle of March, or later. If there is a spot about the garden, or elsewhere, more protected from cold than another, se lect that for the bed. For the dimen sions, consult convenience and the quan tity of land to be planted. A person should stand clear of and reach to the cen tre of the bed. A grown man can pull slips two feet; then the bed should be four feet wide. The length must be determined by tbe number of acres. Seven feet, by the 15th of June, will plant one acre, with the rows three and a half feet wide, and the slips eighteen inches in the drill. With this basis, lay off your bed the de sired length ; dig up the top soil and place it on one side and dig 1 1-2 or 2 feet deeper, placing the clay on the other side. Fill the trench with dry stable ma nure, vegetable mould, and Cotton seed, one-third each, well mixed. If the bed is entirely exposed, use more Cotton seed. The bed should remain even with the sur face, therefore some must be allowed for settling—say 3 or 4 inches. After it has been made smooth, place the Potatoes the thickness of fingers apart, cover three inches with the mould procured from fence corners or elsewhere. In order to prevent the surface from baking or cracking, keep soap suds or a barrel of weak liquid ma nor* convenient—hen house manure pre ferable, and water when needed. When the time for planting arrives, or just before, open with a shovel a broad, deep furrow, in which place a liberal quan tity of compost manure, and upon this build the ridge. When the plants are ready for setting, attach to the plow stock a blunt, round pointed shovel, and over this fasten a board covering all but 2 1-2 or 3 inches of the shov#! joint. Run this lightly over the ridge, which will be left on top slightly concave or hollow. The ridge should beat least afoot high when thus knocked off. If the slips are 3 or 4 inches high, take them up carefully, wet ting the bed, if they are disposed to break in two. With a stick eight inches long and one in diameter, make the holes four inches deep along the centre of the ridge ; then, with the left hand, dip the slip to tbe first leaves in these holes, at the same time, with the right hand, slightly com press tlie earth together and downward. Never wait for rain, but do as above, and when the holes are made, fill with water and quickly insert the slips. In very dry weather, it is essential to water on the following evening. The time for setting is late in the afternoon. The first plowing is done with a colter or a long bnlltongue and an eighteen inch solid sweep, the colter running near the plant, and the sweep throwing tlie dirt to them. The hoe should follow, still keep ing the ridge flat on top. The second and third plowing is done with the sweep, making the ridge higher and larger. If the vines are iu the way, lay them along the ridge, before, and never after interlock ing across the balk. So mnch for the pre paration and cultivation. So far the planter has been to a deal of trouble and expense, and naturally wishes and expects a liberal remuneration ; nor is he satisfied with the Potatoes, for he saves the luxuriant vines, which is among the very best material for Hay, and can be made in the following manner : Some time in September with scythes or sharp hoes, cut the vines; let them remain a day or longer, pile them in loose piles, let them alone for one or two more days, when they can be hauled to the shelter. Commence a square pen with rails or poles ; when three feet high, fill with the vines; build one foot higher, place rails or poles across for the second story ; three more feet and fill with vines as before, and so on. The vines can be saved by placing them loosely in a loft. When well cured, mules, and cows prefer it to fodder. If possible, the Potato should be gath ered and housed in dry weather. With turning-shovels run on either side of the ridge, throwing the dirt to the middle of the balk—then break deep and thoroughly with good harrows. The Potato rot has baffled the ingenuity of man. Some years they remain sound when housed in tlie most careless way, and will rot, other years, let the planter be ever so careful. Not professing to be master of the mystery, the writer suggests that the Potato should not only be dry in dry weather, but when dug, should have a day’s sunning. Select the seed Potatoes as they are gathered, place them in bas kets, which set in the wagon and carry thus to the hills. The method of tumbling them into the wagon body bruises them, and may he one cause of the rot. The shelter under which are built the hills should be in a protected spot—the shelter running East and West, the Western end and Northern side weather-boarded.— Make a circle six or eight feet in diameter; dig one foot and fill with dry leaves or straw i put down the Potatoes compactly cover this with leaves and the dirt again two or three inches. For the eating Potatoes, build a log- house and daub the cracks with clay mor- ter ; also, place logs, planks or what not, across the house, as high as desirable, and daub in like manner. There are other and better, but more costly methods of con structing such houses. This plan is sug gested on account of its simplicity and cheapness. The cultivation of the Spanish Potato is somewhat different from the above. Prepare the land and make the ridges as above ; when the Yam is bedded, plant the Spanish in the ridges as you wish them to grow, three or four inches deep. There will come a good stand, thereby saving the trouble and risk of transplanting. If there are missing hills, there will be a plenty of slips in other hills to supply the deficiency. The yellow Potato is the sweeter ; therefore preferable. They are good and wholesome food for man, hogs, cows and poultry. It may be necessary for the writer to say he does not arrogate originality of all the ideas advanced a hove ; to experienced persons not a new one is given ; but there are seme he has never seen practiced by others. "JAM SATIS.” Pea Ridge, Feb. 11, 1S61. Who saw the Steer ?—The richest thing of the season, says the Newbury port Her ald, came off the other day in the neigh borhood cf the market. The greenest Jonathan imaginable, decked out in a slouched hat, along blue frock, and a pair of cowhide shoes, big as gondolas, with a large whip under his arm, stalked into a billiard saloon, where half a dozen persons were improvingthc time in trundling round the ivories, and after recovering from his first surprise at the to him singular aspect of the room, inquired if "any of’em had seen a stray steer,” affirming that "the blasted critter got away as he come through town with his drove t’other day, aud he hadn’t seen nothing on him since.” The bloods denied all knowledge of the animal in question, and with much sly winking at each other, proceeded to con dole with him on his loss in the most heartfelt manner. lie watched the game with much interest, as he had evidently never heard of anything of the kind be fore, and created much amusement by his demonstrations of applause when a good shot was made,—"Jerusalem,” being a favorite interjection. At last he reques ted the privilege of trying his skill, when he set the crowd in a roar by his awkward movements. However, he gradually got his hand in, and played as well as could be expected for a greenhorn. All hands now began to praise him, which so elated him that he actually began to think him self a second Phalen, and he offered to bet a dollar with his opponent, which of course he lost. The loss and the laugh so irrita ted him, that he offered to play another game and bet two dollars, which he pulled out of a big roll—for it seems bis cattle had sold well and be was quite flush. This bet he also lost, as the fool might have known he would, when mad as a March hare, he pulled out a fifty spot, the largest bill he had, and offered to bet that on another game. Tbe crowd mus tered round and raised money enough to cover it, and at it they went again, when, by some strange turn of luck, the greeny won He now offered to put up the hun dred he had won against another hundred. Of course he could not blunder into anoth er game, so they could now win back what they had lost, and fleece the fellow of his own rolls besides. They sent out for a famous player who happened to have mon ey enough to bet with, another game was played, which Jonathan won. Another hundred was also raised and bet and won; aud it was not until be had blundered through half a dozen games, aud by some Hiiacconntable run of luck, won them all, draining the pockets of his opponents of about four hundred dollars, that they be gan to smell a large “mice.” When ev erybody got tired of playing, gawky pulled his frock on over his head, took his whip under his arm and walked quietly out, tur ning round at the door aud remarking, "Gentlemen, if you should happen to see- any thing of that steer, I wish you’d let nte know.” At last accounts they had not seen the steer, but they come to the con clusion they saw the elephant. An Editor’s Dream.—The editor of the Xenia (Ohio,! News gives an account of a recent trip to Cincinnati, from which we extract the following: But it is impossible to love everybody on the train, and I give it up, aud settle my self for a doze and a dream. * * The mild, sweet face of the dear girl four seats forward turns into a sun. The sun was jnst rising over Fort Sumter. Fort Pickens was a few rods to the right, and Washington city stood just on the brow of a little hill in front. The steamer Brooklyn was going up the hill, and Gen eral Scott, with James Buchanan on his back, was coming down. Somehow I seemed afraid that Scott was going to fire Buchanan off at me, and I dodged behind the palmetto on the flag of South Carolina; and just then a calliope on board the Star of the West struck up "Dixie’s Land,” and I waked with a start at tbe steam whistle, to find that I had been dreaming up editorials for to-morrow’s issue and that we were just pulling into the gas-starred darkness of Cincinnati. Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. The Fashion". Paris, Marah 7th. Although we are now iu the dead season of the winter months,—the Lent period,— the nimble fingers of the onvrieres arc busily employed infecting gay evening cos tumes, not only in preparation for the fes tivities of Easter week, bnt to be worn at select reunions, at which the fashionable re lieve the wearisome monotory occasioned by the absence of official and diplomatic galas. The greatest care is bestowed, at the celebrated magasia de devil of Monsieur Saran, No. 10 Rue dc la Poix, upon tbe light mourning toilettes which are worn in full dress. The costumes, composed of white and violet, of ganze de Chambrry, of grenadine, are accompanied by exquis ite coiffures either of lace and jet, or gar lands of white and black flowers, wreaths of black grapes, with silver or gold fol- liage. The mourning jewlery bought in this establishment is light, becoming and recherches. Our favorite lingere—Madame Petit, No. 4 Place Vendamc—has prepared novel and various styles of wrapings for the coming Spring. Pretty scarf mantles, for young ladies, of black velvet or silk are stitched and piped with white. There are new forms of casaqnes of black silk embroi dered and richly trimmed with guipure passementeries, fringes, pendant buttons, &c. Many paletots and cosaques will be braided with black cord and jet ornaments. There are also casbmire shawls of a new description; those of one color prove their last year’s date; tbe new ones are covered all over with a design of palms, or with medallions of bright colors; sometimes the pattern is broad stripes of white and black, or red or blue. The looms of our celebrated lace maker, Yiotard have fabricated exquisitely beau tiful Point dc Brusselles, Point d' Anglcterre, and Point TAlmeans tunics to he worn over the short up; er skirt of either tulle, crape or satin, for ball dresses. The lower part of the second jupe is trimmed with bonillonncs, or narrow flonnees, of either crape or tulle. The cashmere shawls, which I have described above, are flounced with the guipure or Chantilly lacc, from Violurd, No. 4 Rue de Choiscul. The walking and carriage robes for the Spring will generally be of plain taffetas, decorated up totheknee with small flounces and chicorie ruches, or else a perfectly plain skirt, having within 3 or 4 inches of the edge a velvet band, varying in width from a quarter to a half yard. The cor sage is plain, and fastened in front with large velvet buttons; the sleeves and square, and bordered by a broad velvet, and on the top of sleeve there is a velvet rosette. The bleak winds of March are increasing tlie demand for pomades and cosmetics.— Those of the perfumer a la mode, Fagver, 83 Rue dc Richelieu, are the most recht rches. The Altha wc, a pate d’amande, a la gui- mauve. the Amandine, and the saron dutci- ff'rr, are sovereign preventives against the ill effects of cold winds, and arc eagerly sought for by those who suffer from the damp and rough Spring blasts. The luxury of the entertainments of this season, surpassing that of the preceding years, is not reserved to the Court and di plomatic circles. A visit to tbe brilliant establishment of La Aache, a I’esrolier de Crystal Galcrie dc Valois Palais Royal, will give some idea of the suraptuousness which characterizes all the appurtenances of the dinner and supper tables. The beauty of the paintings on the chains, the exquisite lightness and grace of the fili gree gold and silver work, in which the crystal desert services and ornaments are mounted, are unequalled as specimens of French taste. The lo»uf( Widow, She is modest, but not bashful— Free aud easy, but not bold; Like an apple, ripe and mellow— Not too young, and not too old. Half inviting, half repulsive, Now advancing and now shy, There is mischief in her dimple, 'there is danger in her eye. She has studied human nature; She is schooled in all its arts : She has taken her diploma As the mistress of ail hearts. She can tell the very moment When to sigh and when to smile, True, a maid is sometimes charming, But the widow all while. Are you sad ? How very serious Will her handsome face become; Are you angry ? she is wretched. Lonely, friendless, tearful dumb. Are you mirthful ! how her laughter, Silver-sounding, will riug out: She can lure, and catch, and play yon, As the angler does the trout. From the London Saturday Review. Necessity for Action on the Part of England.—It is absolutely necessary that the English Government should speedi ly decide on the policy it intends to follow with reference to the Southern Confederation of Ame icon States. Owing to the contra dictory legislation which the two parts of the dissevered Union have adopted on the subject of import duties, the English ex porter finds himself in the greatest perplex ity, and the Government is exclusively able to remove his difficulty. The South ern States, which ultimately pay for Brit ish commodities in their cotton, are ready to admit them at a low and reasonable du ty ; but in the North, a tariff has, in all probability, already been legalized which all but closes against them the Northern and Western markets. So far as this, the question for the English Ministers seem to be the simple one, whether, in spite o) grace objections, they will accejit its liberal commercial policy as a reason for recogniz ing the Southern Union. But the circum stances of the case are not yet completely stated. The Southern Confederacy has announced that it intends to treat the whole United Statesasa foreign commun ity, and that goods coming into the South from the North and Northwest will be con sidered by it as equally dutiable with ship ments received through New Orleans.— This consideration adds greatly to the dis tress of the English mercantile interest.— Even supposing it could bear up against the heavy fiscal burdens imposed by the new Northern tariff, it is quite impossible that it can pay the double duty levied partly at the New York Custom-houses, and partly on all cargoes conveyed ro the seceding States by the route of the Mis sissippi-and its tributaries. Nay, it would appear as if goods shipped to New Orleans would, under present circumstances, pay duty first to the floating Custom houses es tablished by the Government of the old States at tbe mouth of the Mississippi, and next to the officers of the Southern Confederacy the moment the cargo is land ed on the wharf. No doubt, such a state of things as this, injarious as it is, ought to be patiently borne by the English import er, if it be not unreasonably prolonged. It seems, however, as if the Washington Gov ernment intended that it should endure in- definitely. Up to the present moment, no mode ot coercion has been mentioned by the persons most in Mr. Lincoln’s favor, except the retention of Federal property in the Southern defence, and the compul sory levy of duties at Federal ports.— This policy maj obviously last for one year, two years, or a dozen; and it is a grave question whether foreign Powers are under ony obligation to submit to it. If point of time can be named at which it will come to an end, it is not easy to see why En gland ur France could not demand that the L nited States should either put down the re bellion by effectual measures, or else allow foreigners to deal icith the new Confederacy as an independent State. The difficulties growing out of the conflicting claims of jurisdiction form always one of tbe most familiar knots which Publicists are called upon to untie ; hut a new case arises when two Governments, without coming to the blows or nsing any hostile measures against one another, actually exercise jurisdiction at one and the same point of territory.— 'I he old States cannot reasonably expect that they wfill he allowed to establish what will be, in effect, a blockade of the South eru ports without applying that active, co ercive and unremiting force of which inter national law rigorously requires the em ployment from a blockading Power. The Bate ok Life.—It was m.„. in March, The pavements of New leans were well night deserted. We reached Canal by Royal-street and but a square to go before arriving at St. Chales Hotel. Dr. of Sooth Ca - ' whom we had mischievously dubbed sieur Francis account of hia resemblance to that interesting man io more ways than idnight Or- had bad the Carolina Mon- one, was the beau of Miss aud I ac companied the widow. “Now for a race, said the Doctor's partner. “Agreed,” said —' ■ and off they started. Monsieur stop ped and held up his bands in fidgety des peration—a foot race between ladies on tbe public thoroughfare was too mnch for * bis inflated dignity. For myself, it was ,only fnn to trot jnst fast enough to keep np with them, crying first, “hurrah for Tex as,” and next, “go it Louisiana!” As to who won tbe race, I never knew for cer tain, but I waa compelled to decide in favor of the widow, who said that it was against her creed to be beaten at anything. Be sides she had an interesting daughter, and large expectances, and I was not a man of family, as I am now. My partner always reminded me of the Western widow, who, to recommend her self, said that she could ran down any buffalo cow on tbe prairies, and her daugh ter could catch the calf. Be this as it may, compliment or not, 1 decided in the widows’s favor, but I am not, nor ever have been snre that she won the stakes fairly ; for it was as near a drawn race not to be one as ever I witnessed. That was over six years ago. There was then more or less of rivalry between the maid and the widow ; in fact, they were running against each other, possibly without being aware of the fact. In the race of life where, are they now ? The one. after years of toil and near half a century of disappointments, has, by a re cent decision of the Supreme Court, come into the legal possession of an estate richer than that of John Jacob Astor, and wealth fabulons as that of Sinbad the sailor. The other is the admired and honored bride of a Southern statesman and official, distin guished alike for his courage and his emi nence, to say nothing of his fortune and elevated social position. We allude to Mrs. Myra Clark Gaines, the heroine of a thousand law suits, and to Mrs. Lncy Hol combe Pickens, the beautiful wife of South Carolina’s Governor. In their race of life both have been swift—each successful, and as of their midnight encounter six years ago, so it may be said of their rivalry now, that it is hard to say who is entitled to the palm of victory. Let it be a drawn race ; and let us conclude that the gooduess of th6 one is only equalled by the merits of the other. Hurrah for the Palmetto ! Hail to the Pelican !—Petersburg Bulletin. [From the Charleston Mercury Extra, April 14.] THE BATTLE OF FORT SF.QTER ! END OF THE FIGHT! Major Andmoa Surrrudrr,! All last night the rnortar batteries were throwing shells into the Fort. At an ear ly hour this morning the gun batteries re opened their fire, which had been suspend ed during tbe night. Major Anderson re plied about seven o’clock with a vigorous fire. It appeared that he had become con vinced that his fire against the Cummings’ Point Batteries was ineffectual, for he now devoted his attention almost entirely to Fort Moultrie, the Dahlgren Battery and the Floating Battery. At ten minutes af ter eight A. M., a thick smoke was seen is- sueing from the parapet, and the roof of the southern portion of Fort Snmter bar racks was soon in flames, The fire was produced either by a hot shot or a shell.— During the progress of the fire three ex- , plosions were produced by the fall of shells f into the combustibles of the Fort). ! At a quarter to one o’clock the flag and flagstaff of the United States was shot away. For some twenty minutes no flag appeared above the fort. Col, L. T. Wig- fall, in a small boat, approached it from Morris Island, with a white flag upon his sword. Having entered, he called for Ma jor Anderson, stated that he was an'Aid- de-Camp of Gen. Beauregard; that see ing his distress and the impossibility of his holding the post, be claimed, in the name of his Chief, its surrender. In reply to in quiry "what terms will be granted,” he stated that Gen. Beauregard was a soldier and a gentleman, and knew how to treat a gallant enemy, but that Major Anderson could not make his own terms, and must leave the details to Gen. Beauregard. Major Anderson then agreed to surrender to General Beauregard, in the name of the Confederate States, and hauled down his flag, which he had again lifted, accompa nied by a white flag. The batteries then ceased firing, and Colonel Wigfall reported to General Beau regard, in Cbarleston. The following are substantially the terms of the capitulation : All proper facilities will be afforded for the removal of Major Anderson and com mand, together with company arms and property, all private property. The flag which he has upheld so long, and with so much fortitude, under the most trying circumstances, may be saluted by him on taking it down. Major Anderson is allowed to fix the time of surrender, which is some time to-mor row (Sunday). He prefers going from Fort Sumter to the fleet off our bar. A detachment of the regular army from Sullivan’s Island will be transferred to Fort Snmter. No one has been killed or wounded up on our side. A lew of the garrison of Fort Snmter were slightly wounded. Latest from Morris Island—hostilities sus pended for the night. Morris Island, Sat., April 13, G P. M. A boat sent in by the fleet of war ves sels off the bar, has just been brought-to by a shot from one of our batteries. It contained, besides the oarsmen, Lieut. Mar- cy, of the Powhatan, bearing a flag of truce. He reports the vessels iu the offing to be the Baltic, Illinois, Powhatan, Har riet Lane and Pawnee. Lient. Marcy, in the name of his supe rior officers, has announced a suspension of hostilities until to-morrow morning. It is rmnored that he demauds that Ma jor Anderson and his men be allowed to join the fleet. SOUTH CAROLINA IS INDEPENDENT*. diplomatic Appointments. The Admistration has done all in its power to disgrace the American name, in appointing foreign representatives. It has, at the same time, exhibited a marked fa voritism for jet. black Republicans. Four of the editors and correspondents of the New York Tribune have been appointed to office. Among them is the notorious Washington City correspondent of that paper, J. S. Pike, who goes as Minister to the Hague. The initials J. S. P. in that famed iuti-slavery organ, have subscribed more slanders, defamations and abase of the southern people, than those of any ten abolition composers in the whole country. He never laid down his pen without hav ing first accorded a manufactured false hood upon the Southern people or their in stitutions. This defamer is rewarded for his labor. Adams, Burlingame and Gid- dings, are worthy samples of the rabid jet blacks, who bask in the smiles of Lincoln; but the crowning act of disgrace was the appointment of Cal l Schubz to the court at Afadrid. An yifidel and atheist, a po litical refugee, driven in exile from Eu rope to wander as a vagabond on the American continent, the tradneer of Wash ington, the reviler of the Declaration of American Independence, tbe defamer of all that is sacred to Americans, is accredi ted as the representative of our people in an important mission, as the successor of Wm.
