Beautiful Letter from Gov. Chase

Some days since, says the Cincinnati
Commercial, we gave an account of feS-
tival of the Republican. Germans of this
city, in honor Of the reelection of Gov.
Chase to the high position Of the head OF
the Commonwealth of Ohio, which he has
filled with such honorable distinction. The
sending of basket OF flowers, that had
adorned the festive on this occasion, to th.
Govern r, was an inciLent to which pub
licity has been gwen. We are permitted
to print tn following letter, in which the
Governor acknowledges the receipt of this
testimonial OF regard and accompanying ex-
pressioas of confidence, in eminentiy fit
terms: x
CoLUmBUs, Oct. 81, 1857.
DEAR SIR: Thanks for the beautiful
basket of flowers from the festival table OF
the faithful Republicans of the Banner
Ward, and fer uIe generous expressions OF
confidence ard GTsems bS which il was uc-
companird. Il saall be constant study
and earnest endeaVUr TO deserve those SEN
timenis, by Jealous devotion TO those prin-
cipes of Democ5osic RePublicanism, which
mparially defeGd all rights against al! ag-
gressIons.
BY their large major;ties for freedom in
tie liberty-lcving Twelfth and Tenth, our
naturalized fellox-citzens have proved
themselves worthy descendants OF those
| freemen OF the olden time OF whom great
historian testifes that ''the love of libe ty
was the ruling passion of these Germans;
the enjoyment OF it their best treasure, and
the word that expressed that enjoyment the
most pleasing to their ear"
May We not indulge the hope that the
noble zeal for freedom which INSPIRED thei!
action, will speed from place to place, and
| from heart to heart, until all, who have pre-
ferred to sever the birth lies of Fatherlant
rather than submit TO monarchial despoti>n
in the old world, will join together with one
consent against slayehoIding despotism il
the new,
Very cordially apd truly.

CRANBERRY CULTURE gentleman to
whom we sent copy of Eastwood's manual
on this subject, writes :-"It presents the
subject in an entirely new phase. Several
persons have been humbugged out of 81 for
plants to stick on the hills about here. They
lived year or two and then died" Many
more instances might be given to illustrate
the humbugery practiced in regard to cram
berries growing on dry land. The term "up-
land" as frequently used, is likely to dereive
people in this matter. The productive plan

in describing it. 1t is moist, cold land, lyinl
along the border Of what was originally q

CUTTING GRAFrs.-Now is a good time for
This work. Tie them up in punches not more
than two or three inches thick. Label them
accurately and distinctly. Place the bunch
es on the ends in box, with plenty of damp
moss between them and over the top. They
should be kept little moist. and ought to be
looked after little now and then for this pur-
Iose. The object of placing them on one end
is this. By doing so, and placing a label on
the end of each bunch, one bunch, or more,
as needed, may be removed without disturb
ing the rest. Keep them away from mice,
and from the Frost Ohio Far.
