Distinguished Men Used Up.

| Mr.. Stewards letter, says the Chicago
Post, surrendering SIidell and Mason, not
! only surrenders those individuals, but sur.
renders some Of our great men to public
scorn The editer of Wheaton Interna.
tional Law, wrote several articles main
tanning that the arrest Of Slidcll and
Mason was strictly legal. under American
and British decisions; he contended that
Wheaton" clearly denenstrated the lew
as justifying the arrest. The Hon. Edward
Everett, who shared with Webster the
honor of being the most accomplished
Secretary OF State this country has had in
modern times, and who has represented
his country in England, and who is recog
nized as one of the ablest writers upon
International topics, also gave to the world
his views, clearly showing that the arrest
Of Slidell and Mason was legal.
Caleb Gushing, who has filed two or
more foreign missions with ability, and
who brought to the Office Of attorney gem
eral an erudtion not surpassed during the
last century, also published an elaborate
opinion, in which the legality of their ar
rest and detention was held to be too clear
for dispute.
Gen. Cass, who had been Secretary Of
State, Secretary of War, and minister to
France, and who for half century has
been an officer OF the Government or
member of the Senate, published his
opinion that the arrest of Mason and SIi,
dell was justjhable and authorized under
the law of nations, as expounded by Anne,
rican and British courts.
Revedv johnson, who has been attorney
generul, than whom there is not an abler
lawyer at the bar, gave his opinion that
the arrest was perfectly legal and proper
The opinions Of these men upon legal
question are worth something Mr.. Seward

law, are ignorant Of the history Of their
country, and unsafe and unreliable coun~
sellers in times like the present. In short,

A Capital story.

| The recent occurrence in our city, on
fast day, has recalled sermon which was
preached in Tennessee by a Baptist min
lister. When drawing near the close he
said:
Brcthoring, am hostler, and must
curry these horses before leave Here
is the ghblooded EpiScopalian horse,
see what high head he carries and how
black his coat is, soft as silk but he'll
kick you if You touch him on his litany
Of prayers. Whoa, sir, whao! Here is
an old sober Methodist horse Whoa, old
fellow just slip away his love-ieasts
and class meetings, and he'll kick till he
falls. Whoa, you old shouter whoa! Ahl
here is the horse that is ready to kick at
al! times, don't you go near confessional
or penance. Whoa, Mr.. Pope! how beau.
titu bis trappings are his surplice and
miter Whoa, sir. whoa
And SO he went on through the various
denominations.
When he was nearly through, ali old
Methodist gentleman, we'll known in the
place, offered his services to conclude,
which were readily accepted lie said:
Friends, | have learned this morning
how 20 dress down horses, and as the
brother has passed upon two OF them

Among the many instances where the
bravery of cur officers and men has shone
conspicuous, the one we are about to relate
is almost unequalled:
Capt. Spencer, Aid to General Wool,
received information from two ladies who
went from Norfolk to Fortress Monroe
with q flag of truce, that near midnight a
siN cared boat was to leave Norfolk for
Richmond with money for the payment of
the rebel soldiers. IL requested psrmis-
sion Of General Wool to attempt their cap
ture, aud Was tod no; to place 100 much
confidence in the Information received.-
Nevertheless, permission Was given, and
selected two good oarsmen on whom he
could rely, with their oars mutlied, he start.
Cd a. dark, and awaiting the coming Of
the enomy's boat, He had previously civ,
en- direction to his men to pull directly
for the boat, and on the moment of str.A,
ing TO back water instantly.
About midnight the boa. was heard ap-
p"oachinr, and taking his station in the
bows, with 4 Hine inch shell in his hands.
he gave the order 70 give way The
monsu: his boys struck the rebel st he
threw the she'll into the mid3le Of it, anl
was himself drawn back, luckily receiving
no injury from the explosion. Not so the
boat and occupants, however, the former
Of which was broken in two, and the latter
were scattered in all directions in the wa.
ter, not however before diScharging their
pistols at him, two balls going through his
cap and three perforatlng his coat The
men were then told if they submitted
quietly they would be saved otherwise he
would leave them to their fate.
They preferred the former, and arminr
himselt with his pistol in one hand and a
dirk taken from ''secesh - in the other.
he took them in one hy one, Handwriting
them as they were pulled in. In addition
to which, from the stern Of the encmy's
boat, which iioated, lie to3k eleven hun.
drcd dollars in gold, and five thousand
dollars in their worthless paper money. 1t
was with some difficulty that he reached
the fort, the gunwhale Of the boat being
almost level with the wafer with its in
creased freight.

up, of liquorice root; one quarter Of Il
pound Of raisins, broke in half. Let them
boil till the strength is thoroughly cx-
tractcd, then add tlu:t e;l&scel Which has
been previously soaked. Let all boil
half an hour more, watching and stirring,
that the mixture may not burn. Then
strain, and add lemon Juice and sugar to
the taste. Take any quantity Of it cold
through the day, aud half a tumbler of
the above mixture warm at night. The
recipe is excellent.
Edgefield advertiser. [volume] (Edgefield, S.C.) 1836-current, 1862-03-05

there is any truth in the theory that one
of the main objects in trenching the land
is to cultivate the fmiroots by allowing
them to spseao' themselves tar Ielow the
surface, in order TO exempt the crop from
the effects of the vicissit,Ides of the sra-
sons, and thns ensure full and regular
yearly supply ofAr,'it. The manner in
which the cuttings are planted is OF much
Importance. The usual modes are either
to dig hole and plant the cuttings care
fully, taking Pains to press the dirt well
around them, Or to make hole with a
short stake, sharpcncd at one end and
sInoothed off, 50 AS TO make q clean hole.
This is driver, in the ground to the desired
depth, and one or more cuttings placed i'll
it, and the hole is filled up with earth.
Another method is to push the cutting
down into The ground with a tnrked stick,
or an iron fork, made for the purpose.
The first lnndc is the best, but it re.
quires much time to perform it, and is
consequently not much practiced. The
second is very common, and through it Il
great many cuttings fail to grow. espec.
ally if the planting takes place in a dry
time. on account Of the holes not being
carefully flied with dirt after the cutting
is deposited; the holes being round and
small, the mere pressure of the foot
around the topof the hole frequently falls
TO fill it, and the cutting being exposed to
the drying action Of the atmosphere, fails
10 grow, unless the planting is soon fol
l,wed by rainy weather.
Care Should always be taken, therefore,
to fill the hole 'OeN after 4epositing the
cutting. The last method is objectiona.
lie if the buds on the cuttings arc much
swollen when planted, rs they are apt to
lie rubbed oil BY this plan.
The time for planting is also of lmpor.
,,rnce. 1t is highly probable that the eS-
rerience Of others will prove to them, As
nine has to me, that the very best time
t,r planting, in this region, is from the
conlmencelnvllt 10 the 2Gth Of April, i'll
ordinary seasons. The advantus ses OF
planting ut this time are, lllat tne se'e'c
iiosts are generally over by the time the
cutting puts out it's leave aud warm
weather has set in, aud the plant grows
of uninterruptcdly.

mon causes in operation to prevent the

CnASGIsG SEED.-A writer in All Eng.
lish paper says his potato crop has in
creased from fifty to one hundred per
cent, by procuring seed potatoes which
grew on an entirely different soil, fifteen
or twenty miles apart from his. The
plan of changing seed every year is a
good one, either for potatoes or any other
seed, such as grain and garden seeds; and
even if the change is made only between
cultivators in the same vicinity, it is still
beneficial.
