NOTHING BLACK REPUBLICAN DISCLOS,
The Nashville Patriot eectri6es the nerves Of its
readers with very startling disclosure which it
copies from New York black republican paper
The article is glGringly headed:
Startling News from Richmond, va.
A NEW DISUNION MOVEMENT OF THE
SOUTHERN NULLIFIERS.
The purport of tits wonderful discovery is EN-.
bodied in the following paragraph :s.sse
"On the FIRST Wednesday in December, the Pre-.
sdentsl Electors elected are to meet in the various
States, to cast their votes for President and Vice
President In the intervalit 10 proposed to bring
Mr.. Buchanan, by letter, up to the mark of the
southern nulli6ers, or to compass his defeat
by giving . sufficient number of the demo
cratic electoral votes of the south to other candi
dates to throw the election into tie House. The
nlllfers have their fears of the northern demo-
Gratis elected to the next Congress in behalf of
Kansas as free State and from recent disclosures
from Lancaster, they also have their fears of Mr..
Buchanan himself Hence their desperate plan of
bringing Mr. Buchanan to t1e mark, or of defeat
ing bis election. The conspirators do not expect
any satisfactory answer from Mr. Buchansn-they
do not desire it. Their object is disunion and the
spoils of 3 southern copfeoeracy."
What tremendous sensation these psoers must
expect to product No wonder our patriotic
board of Aldermen were unwi ling to trust any OF
our good citizens to tie Southern Commercial Con-
vention ct Savannah, at time like this, when
treason eta ks abroad at noondayl What an aw-
fully bad people we of the south are getting to be
The Patriot has discovered that "disunion is more
tully developed than at any former period in the
history of the country" and its editors say they
heard it preached during the recent canvass Shy
men who had previously occupied front rank in
the opposition to those who recommended that last
of all remedies for political evils" Now the
abolitionists have discovered q real gun-powder
plot Ia Richmond The democrats are not satisfied
with their victory-being unsuccessful in getting
themselves beaten by the sbolitionists, they have
determined to beat themselved THE object is dis
union and the spoils of southern confrderacy."
What plausible story-so true to life that it will
be strange if every body fails to believe it. At
the north, where the popular mind is not SO in.
credulous % thousands s0in believe it, more par
ticularly when they find it circulating through
southern papers
Thus the south is treated Papers in her own
midst are coolly circulating the hobgoblin stories
Matched up by northern journals to supply the place
of the recent Kansas fever. If this is loyalty to
the country-if this is patriotism God forbid that
we should be patriots If it is not outrsging the
honor of the south and an open coutensncing of
northern fanaticism we cannot understand the
force and effect of language.

H Every where throughout the Union con-
gratuatory meetings have been held in honor of
the glorious result of the recent Presidential cleo
ton. Bonfres, illuminstons, torch-!ight pro-
cessons and other public manifestations have
been the order of the day for the last two weeks
from one extreme of the country to the other.
And why all this In honor of the man Blu.
ehanan No. As much as that distinguished
citizen is respected for his ability experienced
statesman, and the high moral worth that has
adorned his life, aside from the great and impor
tsnt principles which, as the representative OF our
party, he embodes, Mr. Buchanan is no more in
republican government like ours than thousands
of meritorious citizens whose humble walks in life
have kept them in comparative obscurity. Such
is the beauty Of our republican system that tn s
mere man, James Buchanan, citizen of Lsncss.
ter county, Pennsylvania, is to those Vho do not
eIjoy his personal acquaintance, no more than any
other citizen of that ancient commonwealth. But
/ n his election there was Q triumph Of sound,
wholesome, patriotic, national sentiment, that is
inesdmable in its value involving directly our
constitutional liberty, with all its blessings, and

world. The most fsr-seeing statesman cannot con-
lecture the result had not those principles in the
person of Buchanan, been successful, save that
dangers dark and threatening would be lowering
in our political horizon
Il is not strange, therefore, that the manifesto
lions of popular sstisfaction should be more ex-
pressive than has generally followed our elections.
Toe times were never so periIous as during the
recent canvass, because the threatening elements
were never so powerful. It was but natural,
th erefore, that there should have been general
rejoicing throughout the land. May there never
be less occasion for such manifestations.

THE HOME OP BRECKENRIDGE.

Like Mr.. BUCHANAN, Mr.. BRECKENRIDGE is best
appreciated where Ee is known. The Lexington
(Ky) Scotsman says:
"The result of the election in this civ and conn
ty is highly complimentary to our distinguished
candidates FOR President and Vice President The
number of votes cast for ticket in esch district
Of the county is larger than ever received by
Democratic candidate for Governor or President.
and the msjority in the city and county is greatly
reduced The district in which Maj Breckenridge
resides (7th,) and which gave Co.. Morehesd, k.
NJ, in 1885, majority of 79 gave our ticket
majority on Tuesday last of S-a gain o. 81 The
city of Lexington gave Morehead l87 majority,
while it gives Fillmore only 29--s Democratic gain
of l6s. Each district in the city and county gives
8 Democratic gain.

FARM YARD MASuRE.-Prof Mapes, in an able

FARM YARD MANURE.-ProE Mapes, in an able
review Of an elaborate article on tae treatment of
farm yard manure, by G. W. Johnson, F. R. s.,
thus sums up the matter:
The plain truth is, that exsct practice has clear
ly settled the following facts, viz That m8nures
should never be exposed to the sun and air, as in
open bsru-ysrds.
That they should be kept under cover, and the
heap arranged with scistern at its lowest end
supplied with pump, that the fluid drainage may
be pumped back on the heap twice each week, or
ofener if required, to prevent fire fanging That
the fluid NATURES should be led from the stables
through iucos d cutters to the draining cstern,
and when the heap is so dry as not to supply the
necessary amount of drainage to keep it thorough.
y wetted, that water should be added to make up
this deficiency.
"rnst when manure is giving off its odor the
owner has a hole in his pocket"
That mauures are most retentive of ammonia
when thoroughly moist throughout, and if any
escape of ammonia is then percepti0le, that small
quantity of sulphuric acid added to the drainage
of the hesp and then pumped back, 80 as to dffuse
itself through the mass, will efectuslly prevent
such los
That manures should never be carted to tine
field until the farmer is ready to spread and pow
them under.
That heaps of manure exposed to the sun and
air in the field, are continually losing ammonia,
ard during high winds this is carried away, de-
spite the power of colder portions to retain it.
That during winter rains, when the ground is
frozen, the washing of the manure cannot be re-
ceived by the soil, and thus the volatile portions
are carried G # by the agency of the sun and air
That the II i'd manure of three animals is worth
as much as the solid manure of four That the
value of barn yard msnures are materially in
creased by being composted with charcoal dust,
swsmp-muck, pond and river bottom, hesd-ands,
&c. before their fermentation.
That the judicious farmer will feed his cattle in
the open air.

turned out, rs Fillmore lost his ate by about
$50 900. Some OF the Kentucky papers say that

the way of easy bets. And yet this man, that

be again, was herslded through Tennessee with a

"WHERE ARE you GOING pan snecdote is told

walking along the canal one day came across q
boatmsn who was swearing furiously Marching

"Sir, do you know where you are going1"
The unsuspecting man innocently replied that
be was going up the canal on his boat.
"No, sir, you are not" continued Finney !; ''you
are going to hell faster than canal boat can con-
vey you"
The boatrsn looked at him with sstonishms ut
for minute, and then returned the question:
aSir, do you know where you are goiugH'

And, suiting the action to the words he took

The PROGRESS OF OUR CoUNTRY.-It is stated
that the population of the eleven infant economies
in l70l was 262 900 souls. Georgia and Della
ware were added to the number in 1749, and the
census reports give US 1,046 600. In the year
IT'S the thirteen colonies bsd 1903 900 whites
and 100000 slaves. Afer the adoption of the
present Constitution in 1890, there were thirteen
States, with 1872, 1854 white so, 456 free colored
and 697, SO7 slaves In 1850 the States had in

Eg- The Fremonters have been celebrating
their defeat, in New York, on which occasion the
pretty Mr.. GEORGE W. CURTIss made speech,
conc ding with some lines of poetry wherein Mr..
Fremont is advised TO put on shirt! Poor fellow,
we hope e will, if he can get one, for the season
is becoming cold. Mr.. CURTss asks him to ''srise"
before he puts on his shirt, which, of course, he
will do. or he cant run himself into it, very well,
while lying on bis bed. We suppose, however he
has not fell much ike sitting up since the election.
Here is Mr. CUR1T SIS poetry:

SAVING BAOoN.-The English never smoke their
bacon. They say:
ooh the trouble folks have taken,
To smoke and spoil their bacon.n

The Canadian Agricutarist, taking the same
view, says that curing bacon is like the Irishmsns
mode of making punch. He said: "Pdt in the
sugar, then fill it up with whisky, and every drop
of water you put in after that spoils the punch"
Just so with curing bacon; after being properly
sailed, and peppered at the hook end, every drop
of smoke you put about it spos the bacon.
Anoth, mode of saving bacon has been given
by a correspondent of the N. E. FIrmer. He
says be was entertained at the house of friend,
and at dinner be had reason to compliment him on
the excellent quality of his bacon and inquired to
know is method of preparing and preserving
To our surprise, says he, we were informed that
the portion of our meal was cooked eight months
before. He stated that it was bis practice to slice
and Try bis bacon Immediately on his being cured,
