rH1NGs IN noow BAY,n

The sanctifed fanatics of Gotham who are never
tired Of chanting the gorifcation of their own ex-
ceeding philanthropy in unending denunciation of
abe assumed oppression and misery to which Southern
slaves subjected, really ought to accompany the
reporter of the New York Times in his account of
his perambulatons through the cellars and attics of
that odorous locality known as Cow Bay" in the
Fourth Ward Of that city The account OF his visit,
in the Times of the LIST instant ia almost incredible
in the extent and quality of the wretchedness and
degradation which it described, and Of which he was
the actual eye witness. In company with police
cicerone be explored the foul depths Of numerous
cellars, teeming with miasmatic odors, filth and mis-
cry, crowded with the vile, the sick and the starv
ing, and stood face to face with humanity in form
repulsive that the relation sckens the reader In
the subterranean lodging houses he found the area
Of the earhen floors covered with groveng wretches
who could command no better place where to lay
their heads and in others vice and wretchedness held
demoniac carnival amid surroundings AFFECT as the
debauchery and the participants. The rooms of the
tenement houses above ground were but repetitons
Of the cellars below, presenting every aspect of
human suffering and degradation. A great number
Of the occupants were negroes many of them. doubt

age to exchange it for such wretchedness.
The Times narrates oil this in graphic enough,
fact way, without finding occasion for get
ting up any particular display Of sentiment over such
every day sights Of horror but it, and many Of its
contemporaries Of that latitude are never lacking in
full head of steam Of indignation, denunciation and
unfounded sympathy, to blow off at a moments
warning in frantic commisseration Of the lot of
Southern slaves, which they pretend to consider
altogether greyous in the face of all the ncontroyer
tble fact to the contrary which is patent to every
in the country with half eye and less than the
medium modicum Of common sense. II these shrek
ing bgots and jaundicedeyed pseudo philanthropiss
would only train their vision down to see what is
right under their noses deserving correction, instead
of looking beyond and keeping up their everlasting
antislavery howl and whine, like whelps haying the
moon, about what needs no correction, and would be
none Of their business il it did, they might possibly
come to the conclusion of doing something for the
amelioraton Of the condition Of the wretched lower
classes of the North. If the slaves Of Louisiana
were reduced to the miserable state of the hundreds
Of unfortunates whom the reporter of the Times saw
in his brief exploration there would be an attempted
instruction in less than no time for the recovery of
the bondmens rights guaranteed to them. but tyran-
nously withheld from them. They wouldn't stand it,
not they.

United States shall deem it advisable, draw the con-
clusion that the Minister intends to land Il body of
troops on the Isthmus in order to protect inter-
ests in this quarter. He is at last decided, and be-
eve he allows Mexico the term Of this year to come
to some understanding. Congress meets in Deem
Der, when it is presumed active measures will be
recommended and adopted.
/ am strongly prejudiced in favor of the plan pro-
posed by Mr. McLane for it is the only safe course to
be pursued in these constantly changing countries.
Revolutions are chronic in Mexico and it our duty
both to our own people and to the good order of the
world that this constant destruction OF life and prop
erty should be suspended. We must do it, for the
personal rights Of American citizens are in constant
danger where there is so much lawessness and so
little responsibility.
Gen. Gadsden deserves the greatest praise for in
sisting the insertion of an article in his treaty.
which granted to the United States the right to pro-
tect this 1sthmus whenever it might consider such
protection necessary. The time has come when that
article will prove useful and believe Mr.. McIane
to be the man who will conatrue its provisions in
such a way as to be of the greatest benefit to the
American people, and to the world generally.
Take my word for it, matters are coming to crisis
and expect to have the pleasure, before six months
have passed. Of writing you description of the land
ing at this place Of regiment of United States
soldiers. Locally, politically and socially it is mete
that the thing should be done, and the quicker the
better.
This is the result of the Fourth of July regime in
stituted nearly century gone by and we only carry
ont the precepts of that occasion when we reclaim
lands and races from oppression, from ignorance aud
from superstition. The Indians were not more in
want OF correction than this people, for they were

Improving Low Lands.

After haying is over and the spring grain is
secured the enterprising farmer will look to his
low lands and sec how they can be improved.
Meadows covered with soil, carted on from
higher grounds, are often the most productive
of any on the farm. They require attention, as
all moving grounds do, and should have a top
dressing of some kind every second year. This
~insures a crop of hay while it gives the advan-
tage to the cultivated grasses over the natural
coarse kinds.
The cost of covering an acre Of coarse mead
ow is not very great when there are gravelly
knolls near by, and if the old meadow has a crop
of wild grass on it, let the grass stand and be
buried by the gravel, loan, &c. All will help
to fill up the uneven surface, and the old grass
is more thoroughly killed than when it is cut
and then buried.
Cattle are very fond of feeding on such NOW
ing grounds after the hay harvest, this proves
the sweetness of the harvest-and the differ
ence between the natural and the cultivated
growth.
Open bitches, parallel with each other, should
be maintained as long as it is expected to obtain
English hay. They should be cleared out occa-
sionally, and the contents should be spread over
the grass. Underdrains cannot easily be clear
ed out, and they are not so good generally as
open drains.
There are not many acres on any farm that
need understanding, yet some writer's are urgg-
ing the Importance of costly underdrains before
they have been tried long enough to determine
whether they will not soon choke up.
Around dwelling houses and other buildings
all drains should be covered. But in open fields
it is not easy to see the great advantage Of un-
derdrains where farm lands are not over SO dol
lars an acre. There are cases where stones are
in the way and ought to be hauled from the
field. They may be thrown into the bottoms Of
bitches and buried. They will let the surplus
water p~ercolate through them for a year Or two,
but generally they will be choked up with mud
and not answer any good purpose as drains.
The first Of September is the right time to
SOW grass seed on these reclaimed lands
Herds-grass and red top may then be sown with
a good prospect Of yielding a harvest the next
year.
We have long p~ractised sowing about the first
Of September when We are prepared, but the
middle of the month will answer though there is
more danger Of winter killing.-P!oughman.
