A Virginia Requiem.

ExEcUTIGN OF OLD BRowN.--At 5 min
utcs past l | O'Clock yesterday morning, this
old neflrious sinner expiatcd his most unholv
crimes upon the gallows. He dangied in an
element for some time entirely too pure for his
loatllsomc carcass, and stenched the atmos-
pIere with that polluted breath which had
given vent TO his fiendish purposes. Those
limbs, that were made to be governed by
thought of such helish deeds, must have Writh-
ed in agony: and those eyes, while starting
from their sockets, could but too plainly see
The black scroll before them that had Planned
the mode OF tonsummating his murderous in
tent. But it is over, and the voice of the Etl-
len angel halls with extatic delight m addition
to its myrads OF heII-in;.tuated demons But
it is all over, and Charon has his oars all set
and his sails to the breeze, TO transfer this vel
come passenger across the dark waters of the
Styx But it is all over, and the co,dblood
ed heart of this woud-be destroyer of his own
race, is being warmed up. by the suphrouS
blazcs Of eternal woe. But it is all over, and
Unionloving people shout their haIlclujahs
and sing their gloria IN excelSjS" for the con-
summation of the penalty.
Various opinions have been expressed as to
the disposition of his body after death
contending it should not be delivered over to
his friends at the North, others to the contra
ry We say, let them have it, and for many
reasons-among them not the least prominent
is, that we could not see the soil of Virginia
defiled by being the receptacle of such filth
horse manure and guano woud reject associa-
ton with it grass would refuse to sprout in
the bosom of the fertile fields of the valley,
and that scavenger of our country, the noble
buzzard, would be driven from our State by
the pestiferous stencil of his carcass. Send
him to the \ orth by all means. There let the
wooden nutmeg Yankee, in his speculative pro-
pensities. convert his bones into buttons and
tooth-picks. and tooth-powder; his sinews in

into elastic bands, for Northern saw mills
They will sell with rapidity and be purchased

him away we want none of him we've had
enough already, and can't stand the thought
or his being any longer on our soil -

A Fire in the Rear for Gov Wise

The Charleston Mercury thus responds to
the call of Gov. Wise for sympathy and aid
for Virginia in her terrible crisis 1t reads
very much like what is called treason in Vir-
ginia
"We are satisfied that every intelligent man
in the South has been completely disgusted at
the broad and pathetic farce that has been
played off before the public about the hang
ing of the hoary william "Old Brown" From
the 500 invaders in possession of Harpers
Ferry and the l 900 negroes carried off to the
mountains of Pennsylvania-from the further
invasons and threats of invasion-the arsons
and fears of arson-the marches and counter
marches-the ponies and cessasion of ponies

down to the final climax of military aid of
fered by Governor Gist of South Carolina, TO
the Governor of Virginia for the purpose of
making certain the aforesaid hanging of Old
Brown Cot is tissue of disgrace exag-
GRAFTON, and invention sufficient to stir the
gall of any Southerner, who has regard for the
dignity and responsibility of the Southern
people. To us it really looks as if those in
possession of the telegraph were in leagua to
ridicule the South and make us a laughing
stock to ourselves and before the world We
sincerely trnst that our legislature which meets
to-day, will bear this in mind, and take no ae-
ton whatever in regard to ourselves or our in
stitutions, that may even have the appearance
of being prompted by the Virginia farce and
its terrorism.

{ uzrrvAr1Nc Toc Mut II LAND.

The farmers generally attempt to cultivate
too much land. The disadvantages arising
from this case are many and obvious. 1t is
no exaggeration to say, that the lands cultiva-
ted in this country are capable. under high
state of cultivation, of producing twice as
much as they now produce .E b.. --
When will orr farmers in the country fully
appreciate this truly? There is no one thing
that contributes so much to retard our agri-
culture, as the folly of cultiyating too much
land.
In the first place no farmer should think of
managing so or 100 acres of land with one
or two men. 1t is bad economy 10 do 50 :;
nothing can be expected from it but poverty
poverty of both land and purse. How much
better it would be to cultivate half the num-
Der of acres or less. and do it we'll 1t costs
just as much to plow an acre that will yield
ten bushels of corn, as one that will yield fifty
or hundred bushels. The difference in hoe
ing would be a trifie, and the planting would
be the same. 1t will require the same amount
of fencing in the one case as in the other, and
the same tax will have to be paid on each.-
Why not, therefore, pow less and plOw dcep
er why not cultivate less and manure more
Farmers, many of them, appear to forget that
they have productive farm just underneath
the one they are cultivating, equally and per-
haps more productive than the one on the sur
face
Turn up this farm. then, with deep subsoH
piow-expose it to the action of the sun and
frost, and thereby double your crop.
But the surface farn--if there are any scru-
pies about disturbing the one Immediately un-
derneath-may be greatly increased in produc
tiveness by properly manuring it. Let a por-
ton of spring work be devoted to carting out
manure on the land that is to be cultivated
BE assured that no labor will pay better. If
any has doubts on the subject, let him try an
acre of this land without and another with ma
nure. And if he desires to be still more ut'li-
tartan in his Investigations, let him dcduct the
cost Of the manure from the value of the in-
creased crop, and it will be found that it is
much better to manure one acre well than cul
tivate two without manure.
But let him try the experiment Of both
blowing deep, and at the same time manuring
well, and he will forever abandon the idea of
cultivating more land than he can cultivate
lreH
Farmers! think of these things do more
practice them and our word for it you will
never have occasion to regret that you did not
cultivate more land

Scrcnading a Young Lady.

| A friend tells as the following
In my young days. was extravagantly
fond of attending parties, and somewhat cele-
brated for playing on the flute Hence it was
generally expected that when an invitation
was extended, my flute would accompany
me.
visited splendid party one evening, and
was called upon to favor the company with q
tune on the flute. of course Immediately
| complied with the request. The company ap-
peared delighted, but more particularly so was
a young lady who raised her hand and ex-
claimed it was beautiful delightful, &c / of
course was highly delighted. and Immediately
formed a resolution to serenade the young lady
on the following night. I started the next
night in company with several young friends,
and arrived as | supposed, at the lady's resi-
dence, but made glorious mistake by getting
under the window Of an old Quaker
Now, boys" said |, behold the sentimen-
tality of this young lady, the moment I strike
up the Last Rose of Summer" l struck up
the window remained closed, and the boys be-
gan to smile
"Oh," said I, ':tlat's nothing it would not
be in taste to raise the window on the first
air."
l next struck up "Old Robin Gray" Still
the window remained closed. The boys snick-
cred and felt fiat
"0nee more, boys" said I, and she must
come" struck up again-"My love is like
the red, red rose Still there was no demon
stration.
"Boys.-' said I, "shcs a humbug. Let us
sing Home. sweet Home and if that don't
bring her, I'll give up" a
We struck up, and as we finished the last
line the window raised. 4 .a.U ....
That's the ticket, boys; knew we would
fetch her
Bat instead of the beautiful young lady, it
turned out to be the Quaker, in his night-cap
and dressing gown
Friend" said he, Thee was singing of thy

no place like home and if that is true why
don't thee go to thy home? Thee is not want

Six per Cent.

Some thirty or forty years ago. back
wcodsn1an (more celebrated for his skill i'll
counting dollars than for mathematical science)
came regularly to New York, every spring.
and fall, for a supply of notions and substan-
tials for his customers at home. He generally
purchased his goods of Quaker house, who
observing his punctuality and large supplies.
were naturally little curious to ascertain how
much he made on the investments. and, an op-
portunity presenting itself, the following dia-
logue cnsHed:
Merchant. Friend B :. what profit does thee
generally get on thy goods?
B.-Why, l generally calculate about six
per cent
M--Si1 per cent ! How is that? It's not
enough.
B.-Oh! in these hard times make out to
get along, and am pretty we'll satisfied with it
too
Q.-Docs thee mean net profit? Let us
know how thee calculates.
B.-Well, I'll tell you. When get home
just set down and make kind of reckoning
how much my goods cost here in York; then
| add the carriage freight, transportation stor-
age, and other little expenses, and l after
wards sell them for six times as much as they
cost.
