We cordially invite all farmers and
others favorable to this enterprise'to
come forward and tender their names.
CUTTING TIMBEE.—If oak, hickory,
or chestnut be felled in August, in the
second running of the sap, and barked,
quite a large tree will seasou perfectly,
and even the twigs will remain sound
for years : whereas that cut in winter,
and remaining until the next tall, (as
thick as your wrist), will be completely
sap-rotteu, and will be almost unfit for
any purpose. The body of the oak
split into rails will not last more than
10 or 12 years. Chestnut will last long-er,
but no comparison to that out in
August, Hickory cut in August is not
subject to be worm eaten, and lasts a
long time for fencing. When I began
farming in 1802, it was the practice to
cut timber for post fencing in the win-ter.
White oak posts and black oak
rails, cut at that time, would not last
more than 10 or 12 years. In 1808, I
began cutting feuce timber in August,
Many of the oak rails cut that year are
yet sound, as well as most of the chest-nut.
If the bark is not takeu off this
month, it will of itself peel off the 2d
or 3d year, and leave the tree perfectly
sound. The tops of the tree are also
more valuable for fuel titan when cut
in winter or spring. I advise young
farmers to try the experiment, and if
post fences do not last twice as long, I
forfeit all my experience as worthless.
—Corresjiondent Rural American.
PUMPKINS AMONGST COKN.—Almost
all " oldfashioned farmers" take tields,
much to the annoyance of the theorist,
who demonstrates to his entire satis-faction
that the one crop must detract
from the full force of the other. But
the most careful experiments show no
loss to the corn. The same weight
results from an acre, with or without
the pumpkins. It does at first thought
seem as if it ought not to be so. If it
takes just so many bushels of corn to
fatten a hog, is it not clear how we are
to fatten two from the same quantity.
This is the argument of the theorizer.
But the facts are as wc have stated ;
and the reason probably is, that the
pumpkin and corn feed on entirely dif-ferent
foods in the soil, so that the one
can go on without the other.— Wcalexfl
liural.
MORAL INFLUENCE OF FARMING.—
There is a decided moral tendency in
the direct and close dealing ir we may
SO speak, between the farmer and his
Clod. They work together. Cod has
ground this realm (so geologists tell
us) into a somewhat hard and thin
soil. " He has sent the springs into the
valleys, which run among the hills,
and caused the grass to grow for the
cattle, and herd for the service of man."
These gifts are in the rough. The con-dition
of their true enjoyment is useful
and health-giving labor. The gold
must be gathered or mined, the dia-mond
polished : so the soil must be
patiently wrought and duly enriched :
the tree, the clay, the stone, converted
into dwellings; the air and sunshim-into
corn ami wine. The iimmni coin-ing
of the sheep, and the life garment
of the kine, into blankets and sandals.
In short, labor and reward are inscrib
ed on every gift of Cod. and none 90
generally receive them right from the
giver as those who till the ground.—
There is less intervention of varioloid
scrip and poisonous nickels. The vine
holds out its clusters, the rich purple,
all undisturbed. The apple, the pear,
the peach, bend their branches to the
gathering, as only God can make them.
The harvest field nods to the reaper
that it may become sheaves in his
bosom and bread to the hungry. The
broad bosom of the meadow undulates
and throbs with every breeze until
shorn of its trophies. Even the forests
toss their giant branches for shelter
and for shade. Is there not a sense of
great nearness to God amidst these
blessings? A feeling of satisfaction
and comfort closely allied to thanks-giving,
praise, and love ?—Farm and
Fireside.
THE CORN AND PORK CROPS.—The
Cincinnati Price Current, after speak-ing
of the general favorable reports of
the wheat crops from all quarters of
the country, says: The indications
of an abundant corn crop are quite
favorable, and should this be the case,
a large increase in the pork crop may
be looked for the coming season, be-cause
the supply of stock hogs will be
unusually large, for not only was the
supply left over from last season large,
farmers not having fatted them because
of the high price of corn and the com-parative
low price of pork, but the in-crease
since then has been liberal, so
that the number now in the Western
States, it will be seen, must be un-usually
large.
SEEDLESS MELONS.—TO raise water-melons
without seeds, the following-plan
has been successfully adopted by
a planter in Caddo parish, La,: After
the vine is about two feet long, cover
it at a poiut intermediate between the
root. After it has taken root where it
is covered, divide the vine between the
old and new root, and the result will
be that the melons will be seedless,
without impairing their quality.
The report cf the Commissioner ot Ag-riculture
for the month of June present's
a gratifying exhibit of crop prospects.—
In thirty-one States th?crop of clover will
be larger than that of last year. Twenty-one
Ststffl present better prospects for
oats, and in twenty-three States the wheat
crop will yield an increased percentage.
The average sown is ahonmch largerthan
last year.
A KISS,

It v.-:*- the cooling hour, just when the rounded
Red L-iin sinks down behind the azure hill,
Whirh then .seems as if the whole earth it I ouiuleil
Circling ;ill nature, husli'd and dim, and still,
With the far mountain-crescent half surrounded
On one side, and the deep sea calm and chill
Upon the other, and the rosy sky
With one star sparkling tbrougli it like an eye.
And thus they wtUMler'd forth, ban I in hand,
Over the shining pehhles and the shells,
(Jli'lcd along the smooth and hardened saud,
And inthe worn ami wild receptacles
Worked by the storm*, yet work'ed as it tr«re
jilann'd,
lu hollow halls with sparry roofs and cells.
They turned to rest; and, each clasp'd by an arm,
Yielded to the deep twilight's purple charm.
They looked up to the sky, whose floating glow
Spread like rosy ocean, vast and bright,
They gazed upon the glittering scene below,
Whence v'.ic broad moon rose circling into sight;
They heard the v.aves' P].l:..-h,and the wind so low,
And saw each other's dark eye darting light
Into each other—and beholding tins;
Their lips drew near, and clung into a kiss.

AN APPEAL in behalf of the daughters
ofPresbyterian Ministers has been pub-lished
in the FttycitcriUc Preshi;tcrian,hy
llev. John. M.M. Caldwell,who is soon to
re open Edge worth Female Seminary.—
The following extracts contain the partic-ulars
:
In view of the embarassment ofa large
number of Presbyterian churches iu the
South, by reason of which thy cannot, as
in former years, provide an adequate sup-port
for their Pastors, and in view of the
titter inability of many most worthy Min-isters
to supply the argent wants ot their
families, the undersigned, after an exten-
>d\-i.i-oiT< spondeiuv with the Stated Clerks
of Presbyteries and with prominent Min-isters
in different States, proposes to re-ceive
into his family, and tosubervise tin-education
o(^ the naughtera of the most
indigent of these Ministers in Edgewortli
Female Seminary, located in Givmsboro,
N. C. lie will make no charge for their
tuition in the literary branches. The ob-ject
is to secure relict to indigent Ministers
by the present support of their daughters
who are of a suitable age to be a', school,
and at the same time to bestow upon
them educational advantages they could
not otherwise enjoy. The entire expense
of each one will be $200 a year or ?100
a session or $50 a quarter.
Any congregation or person contribu-ting
eithi r of these sums can designate
the individual who shall receive the bene-fits
proposed or the person or Prefbytery
by whom she shall be selected. The names
of such congregations or persons shall be
published in the circulars of the Institu-tion
as donors to this fund until their do-nations
shall have been used.
All contributions to this fund, whether
larger or smaller than the sums already
indicated, shall be paid over by agents or
donors to John L. Morchcad and Julius
A. (Jray, Proprietors of the Edgeworth
property, to be disbursed by them.
JiBGKO KIOT IN GA.—A telegram
dated Savannah, July 22nd, says:
A difficulty occurred, last night,
in a drinking saloon, between William
Robert Hopkins, a Tax Receiver, and
Isaac Iiussel, Deputy Sheriff, result-ing
in the shooting of Hopkins, killing
hi in instantly. Russel claims to have
acted in self defence.
The affair caused great excitement
among the negroes, who, at a signal of
the drum, assembled, several hundred
strong, armed with guns and clubs
and threatened to lynch Russel and
demolish his house. On learning that
liussel had been taken to jail, they
proceeded to attack it, but were dis-persed
bv the police.
The excitement is somewhat abated
this morning. The prompt obedience
to the signal shows fully that the ne-groes
are fully organized.
All that is now necessary to bring
about a war of races is the proper dis-tribution
of the aruies appropriated by
Congress to the negroes. This the
kind of peace the Radicals want.
A SHAKE STORY WORTH TmULMmm—
The papers contain an account of the.
killing near Triune, Tenn., of a snake
which measured 29 feet 8 inches in
length,andau| inches in circumference.
Tbe bead was 20 inches across and

and four large tushs. It was a dark

An experiment, made last year in Ger-many

RADICAL PAKTY.—Mr. Horace Greeley
is greatly incensed at the opinion ex-pressed
by Hon. Thud. Stevens in the
House on Friday last, in favor of the
payment of live-twenty bonds in cur-rency.
In fact, Horace is so angry
that after calling Mr. Stevens a num-ber
of bad names in an editorial iu the
Tribune, he closes the article by read-ing
the li Great Commoner" out of the
party in the following style:
"We quote Stevens to prove Stevens
a fit ally for the Pendletonians. Rosses
and Pdairs, whom he threatens to join,
unless the Republican party can be
made the accomplice of the gigantic
crime he meditates. That we can as-sureTrim
will never be. If he wishes
to swindle efficiently, let him join the
party to which swindling is natural—
that which will gratify by repudiation
its partisan malignity as well as iU
innate rascality. Mr. Ross courteously
opens the doors of the Democratic
church for his reception. He says he
will enter if the Republicans will not
help him defraud the National credi-tors.
That we Mi him they will never
do. Let him, therefore,
"Stay not on the order of his goingr,
But go at OIK-!'."

Dear Sir:—You left my office before
I was aware of it. I seek you at home,
but you are not there. I must say
what I want by note. As soon as you
get to Xew York see Governor Seymour.
You know well what was my feeling
before and after I heard from him last
fall. He is to day the foremost man
in our party in the United States.—
His ability, cultivation, andexperience,
put him at the head of our statesmen,
lie commands my entire conlideiice.—
I would rather trust him than myself
with the delicate duties of the next
four years.
You know I am sincere. Make, him
feel this, and that he can rely on me
and my friends. I have anatural pride.
an honest pride, I believe, in the good
will of my countrymen; but you, bet-ter
than any one else, know that it is
neither egotisical nor overruling, and
tl»ur I um really anxious to give uj>tln>
nomination to anybody who can get
one single vote more than myself.—
Express all this frankly to the Gov-ernor,
but delicately, and let him un-derstand

GE3T. IJLAIR'S LETTER OF AC-CEPTANCE.
OMAHA, NEBRASKA, July 13,1808
General Ceo. W. Morgan, Chairman
Committee Xational jlemocratic Con-vention
:
GENERAL: I take the earliest oppor-tunity
of replying to your letter, noti-fying
mo of my nomination for Vice-
President of the United States by the
National Democratic Convention, re-cently
held in the city of New York.
I accept without hesitation the nom-ination
tendered in a manner so grati-fying,
and give vou and the ('onimittee
my thanks for the very kind and com-plimentary
language in which you have
conveyed to me the decision of the
Convention.
I have carefully read the resolutions
adopted by the convention, and most
cordially concur in every principle and
.sentiment they announce.
My opinion upon all of the questions
which discriminate the great contend-ing
parties have been freely expressed
on all suitable occasions, and I do not
deem it necessary at this time to reiter-ate
them.
The isssues upon which the contest
turns are clear, and cannot be obscured
or distorted by the sophistries of our
adversaries. They ali resolve them-selves
into the old and ever-renewing
struggle of a few men to absorb tin-political
power of the nation. This ef-fort,
under every conceivable name
and disguse, has always charactoiized
the opponents of the Democratic party
but at DO time has the attempt assumed
a shape so open and daring as in this
contest. The adversaries of free and
constitutional government, in defiance
ot the express language of the consti-tution,
have erected a military despot
ism iu ten of the States of the I'nion,
nave taken from the President the
powers vested in him by the supreme
iuw. and have deprived the Supreme
Court of its jurisdiction. The right of
trial by jury, and the great writ of
right, the habeas corpus-shields of
safety lor every citizen, and which
have descended to us from the earliest
traditions of our successors, and which
our revolutionary fathers sought to se-cure
to their posterity forever in the
fundamental charter of our liberties—
have been ruthlessly trampled under
foot by the fragment of a Congress.—
Whole StaHsandeoniBiunitiesof people
of our own race have been attained,
convicted, condemed, and deprived of
their rights as citizens,without present-ment,
trial, or witnesses, but by Con-gressional
enactment ofcr post.Jhclo
laws', and in defiance of the constitu-tional
prohibition denying even to a
full and legal Congress the authority
to ]»a«s any bill of attaiuder or ex post
facto law. The same usurping authori-ty
has substituted as electors in place
ol the men of our own race, thus ille-gally
attained and disfranchised, a
host of ignorant negroes, who are sup
ported in idleness with the public nioncy
and combined together to strip the
white race of their birthright, through
the management of Frcedineu's 1 >ti
roans andtheeniissariesofconspiiatiors
hi other States: and to complete the
oppresson, the military power of the
nation has been placed at their dispo-sal,
in order to make this barbarism
supreme.
The military leader under whose
prestige this usurpating Congress has
taken refuge since the condemnation
of their schemes by the free people of
the North in the elections of the last
year and whom they have selected as
their candidate to shield themselves
from the result of their own wickedness
and crime, has announced his accept
anceof the nomination, and his \vi!
lingness to maintain their usurpation
over eight millions of white people at
the South, fixed to the earth with his
bayonets. He exclaims: '-l,et us
have pence." "Peace reigns in War
saw," was the flrihoflncemont which
heatab'.ed the doom of the liberties of
a nation. ''The Empire is peace," wa>
the exclaimed ofBonaparte, when free-dom
and its defenders expired under
the sharp cd^c of his sword. The
peace to which Grant invites us is the
peace of despotism and death.
Those vrlh, s-k to restore the eon-stimti'm
by executing the will of the
people condemning the reconstruction
acts already pronounced iu tin-election
ol'last year, and which will, 1 am con-vinced,
be still more emphatically ex-pressed
by the election of the Demo-crat
tc candidate as the President ol the
United States, arc denounced as revo-lutionists
by the partisans of this vin-dictive
Congress. Negro suffrage,
which the popular vote of New York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ob.io.Mich
igan, Connecticut, and other States
have condemned as expressly against
the letter of the constitution, must
Stand, because their Senators and Rep
sentatives have willed it. Ifthe people.
shall again condemn these atrocious
measures by the election of the Demo
cratic candidate for President, tho\
must not be disturbed, although de-cided
to 1M«. unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court, and although the
President is sworn to maintain and
support thoconstitution. The will of a
fraction of a Congress, reinforced with
its partisan emissaries sent to the
South and supported there by the sol-diery,
must stand against the will ol
the people and the decision of the Bn
preme Court, and the solemn oath of
the President to maintain and support
the constitution.
It is revolutionary to execute the will
ofthe people. It is revolutionary toexc
cute the judgment of the Supreme
Court! ft is revolutionary in thePresi-denttokeep
inviolate hisoath to sustain
the constitution 1 This false construc-tion
of the vital principle ofour Govern-ment
is the last resort of those w ho
would have their arbitrary reconsluc
tion sway and supercedo our time-honored
restitutions. The nation will
say the constitution must be restored,
andthe will of the people again pre
