Raising Root Crops.

We hope none of our readers will let this
month pass over without putting i'll plentiful
crop of roots for next winters supplies. We
believe many will be drircn to it who have the
past season experienced the cost of making
beef and butter from pure grain, at the present
high rates, some of whom perhaps sold rather
bare early in the winter under the temptation
of high prices and now have to buy at still
higher. The prospects for the farmers were
never more fattering than now but to avail
hirasoE fully ef the 40 i,,tlir ,cuoijlc FOR MIN
to practise little Of what he has been calling
book farming, viz: raise root crops, plow deeply
pulvcrize thoroughly, manure heavily and with
such kinds as are adapted for the crop he is
raising. Various experiments have proved
that at least one third and probably one half
less grain will do as much good, when fed in
conjunction with roots Carrots, ParSnipS,
Beets, Ruta BagaS, &c. When corn is worth
ninety cents, Or one dollar, oats seventy cents,
and with dozen or more COWS or steers requir-
ing feed, this saving will be quite an important
item. An acre of land under proper culture,
will readily produce six hundred to one-thous-
and bushels of roots, and even if sold, what
crop will nett more money? Carrots, the past
winter, and almost any winter have readily
demand for them is rapidly increasing as food
for horses, at the livery stables. The erpcnss
of planting continued seeding, and cultivation,
deters many from root culture. The weeds
will grow and require attention when it cannot
be spared, but we will now repeat what we
have before shown, how this difficulty can be
easily avoided, by destroying the weeds before
putting in the crop. After the ground has
been well plowed which should be very early
in the season, the harrow should be passed
over repeatedly, at least twice week so as not
only to thoroughly break up and pulverize all
the Jumps, but also to kill seeds of weeds just
terminating by exposure to the action of the
hot sum- If any one will examine his fields be-
fore narrowing, particularly if it has been well
manured, he will find millions Of weeds all over
the surface, just sprouting and in q condition
to be destroyed, by each successive narrowing.
This will not cost a tithe of the expense of
their destruction after the crop is planted, and
will be done more cffectually.--Farm Journal.

CALLS on DEMOCRATS TO BECOME CANDIDATES.
We have been in the habit of printing calls on
gentlemen to become candidates as matter of
course, and without inquiring into the policy OF
such calls. We have frequently regarded these calls
as mere compliments to clevermen which we were
willing to see paid through our columns During
this canvass calls have been made through this pa
per on several gentlemen, in counties remote from
Nashville, which we should not have published had
we understood all the circumstances, as we have
now evidence that they were made to distract the
democracy Of the counties referred to. 1t is I'M
necessary for US to specify particular cases. Those
who have made complaints regarding these calls
will understand this explanation. And hereafter
we shall be more careful III this matter, and pub
lish no call until it is endorsed by men in whose
Judgment and reliability we have confidence.

GOV. Y BROWN.

The acquaintances of this gentleman need not
know nothingsm, but that the conspiracy has no
more active and determined opponent From the
moment it was first heard Of in the perlieus Of
g New York and Boston, to this day, Gov BRowxs
position has never for moment been doubtful
And yet he has shared the fate of many Others of
the honored men Of the democratic party, in being
sometimes claimed as know nothing in sections
where his name has great influence with the peo-
pie. We have letter from friend in West Ten
Aessee, which informs that this claim is positive
ly made in that quarter. The statement is entirely
and most absurdy false, and it has never had the
shadow of foundation. Gov BRowN is now ab-
sent in Alabama, or we doubt not that he would
himself contradict the false and injurious report.
In his absence, we take the liberty of branding it.
We know il to be false.
= And equally false is the rumor referred to by
correspondent, who writes US from Giles county,
that the Hon. ANDREW Ewing is there claimed as
q" know nothing" The report in relation to Mr..
EWING is as untrue as that in relation TO Gov.
BRows. Heis DEMocRAT, and has neither con-
nexion nor sympathy with know nothingism.
- Doubtless the know nothings will continue,
as heretofore, to claim our best men, to give Dig
nifty and respectabity to their nelarious schemes
to have been disappointed in some selfish asprs-
ton, there can be no error committed in denouc-
ing it as unfounded. @ <|- 3

A CLINCHER.

The X. N. papers are asserting that WISE owes
his election 10 VIRGINIA to the foreign and Catholic
vote. Unfortunately for this theory, it happens
that it is just where the foreign and Catholic vote
is the largest, that the Know-Nothings made their
largest gain, while WISE made his gains almost ex-
clusivsy in the region where there are no Catholics
or foreigners. 10 Southwestern VIRcIN1A WISE
gains three thousand votes over PIERoEs majority.
The population among whom this gain is made
almost exactly resembles that of East Tennessee.
The following, from the Richmond Enquirer,
settles this case conclusiveIy: --e.,.
Some of the Know Nothing papers attribute the
election of Wise to the s'foregn' vote. although
they are not ignorant of the fact that bis majority
largely exceeds the entire "foregn'' vote of the
State. IT is known too that considerable proper
ton Of the foreign" vote was cast against the
Democratic candidates. A correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun says an examination of the polls in
Alexandria has developed the surprising fact that
a large number OF foreign. born citizens supported
the Know Nothing ticket
There is another fact which settles this dispute
beyond controversy. In the cities, and in the
counties through which works of internal improve
ment are progressing-in Richmond in Petersburg,
in Norfolk, in Alexandra, in Wheeling in FREQ
ericksburg, in Augusta, and IN Londoun,-in short,
just where the foreign" vote is strongest just there
did the Democracy sustain the greatest loss. On
the other hand, in the remote Southwest and on
the South-side, where nobody ever sees Catholic
or foreigner, the Democracy made the largest
| gain. These are facts which the Know-Nothing
papers can 10 more dispute, than they can make
them conform to their fantastic theory, that the
election Of Wise was the work of Catholics and
foreigners
