Mr.. Mercier and JEFF. Davis.


A French paper states that at the
time Of his visit to Richmond, Mr..
Mercier hal an interview with jeff
Davis, and that in the course of con
versation, he asked from the rebel
President If there was not in his mind
any ground upon which the South
could make proposals of pence to the
North. "No, Sir" said Jefferson Da.
Wis, "the Confederate States are not sc
low as to entertain any thought Of that
kind. The time for peace will, doubt.
less, come; but it has not yet, and We
must wait while before we can avail
ourselves Of your good offices" "
JEFF. Davis had undoubtedly in his
mind, when he said "wait awhile" the
accomplishment Of the Valandingham
ers' scheme to raise up party in the
North which would unite with France in
its good Offices" and compel the Fed
eraf Government to dishonorable
peace. But the people will be on the
alert for this deadly scheme aud throttle

Strawberry Culture--Stirring the

At late meeting Of the Brooklyn
Horticultural Society NJ. Fuller "said
that he had grown at the rate Of 600
bushels per acre, on a small plot, of the
Bartlett strawberry, and by the same
mode Of treatment, 400 bushels Of Tri-
omphe de Gand. The best treatment
| have ever given strawberries when
grown in hills, was to stir the surface
little every day. Some varieties grow
best in stools, the Wilson. for instance,
and others do best when all run togeth-

soil among strawberry plants. The
best Delaware grape-vines ever grew,

Saturday evening, with rake, and /
believe it would pay to rake the ground
among the strawberry plants every day,
and cut off all the runners. can grow
strawberries by this process upon poor
SOIL without manure. L am satisfied
that surface soil stirring is the most i'm
portant Of all modes Of cultivation
But in strawberry bed you must be
careful not to dig too Deep There is
no process that can be applied to tho
cultivation of cabbage, equal to stirring
the surface every day"

Douglas on Secession.

The Chicago Post in giving nm ac.
count of the last days of Hon. Stephen
A. Douglas, says
"The day after his arrival here he
read comics Of the conditional Seccs.
sion Of Virginia-that secession which.
being nctunl, was, nevertheless, to de-
pend for VALIDITY upon n future vote
Of the people. He said that Mr.. Lin
coin ought Mt once to put an army in
to Virginin and occupy every city and
stronghold in the State; months de-
lay, he thought would be fatal.
Gle considered that the rebellion
had sealed the fate Of slavery. No
act Of legislation, No act Of Mr.. Lincoln
no matter how violative Of the Consti-
tuition, could have wrought the injury
to slavery, that had hoen done by the
rebellion. IF the Government would
only say and do nothing whatever
about slaves, but prosecute the war for
the establishment IF the Union, he
thought the losses in slave PROPERTY
alone, the inevitable consequence oil
war. would have two effects. First, il
wonld satisfy the people Of the South
that their own folly, and not the action
of the Republican Marty, was producin ne
the loss; and secondly, that the tenure
Of slave property wonld become so IN
certain that it would cease to be valna
ole; and once brought to that condition
its fate was sealed forever"
