Cured t,y loyal citizens from the ap-

dollars for Border Slave State enamel.
patton and for colonization purposes.
The Senate took no definite action
upon the House bills, to totally abolish
the ranking privilege, and to repeal all
laws allowing mileage, including the
present members Of Congress.

The MILITIA DRAFTING BnL.-The
House Wednesday passed the Senate
bill amendatory Of the act of 1895. 1t
is one OF the most important measured
yet passed. The term Of enlistment
for which the militia will be called cut
is limited to nine months, and one
months pay and twenty-five dollars
bounty paid in advance. The bill
authorizes the President to receive ne
groes into the service for constructing
entertainments, performing camp SER
vice or any other labor, or any militia
ry service for aois;ch they may be found
coapete,at- be enrolled and organ
lied as the President may prescribe.
It also declares free all slaves, ihclud-
ing their families, who shall thus serve
the government, except those beloEg-

.|The bill making postage stamps
legal tender was crowded through
both Houses without debate, and al
most without examination The treasu-
ny department will at once make ar
rangements for issuing large quantities
CT new stamps, exactly like the present
ones, except being printed on much
thicker paper and without gum on them.
These can, at any post office, be ex-
changed for the ordinary stamp. They
will be precisely the same as legal ten
der Treasury Notes, since each is ir-
redeenable and derives its sole value
from being the pledge of governments
faith. The bill was signed and re-
turned in about an hour after its pas
sage, and in short time the small
change difficulty will be obviated for
the time being, at any rate.

a New Policy.

ne government, after a lapse OF
twelve months, during which time an
immense and well-dlslplInec army has
bean maintained III the field at an enor-
nous expense, has become convinced
that measures more strenuous must be
adopted to crush the rebellion aiming
at It's vitality
Ihose measures MADE legal by the
congress JUST aoJourheo' receiving the
SANCTION oi 'ne rresiaehV ana 'he
amens OF twenty millions or loyal
c''zens, VIII Without DOUBT be pressed
forward ana carried ont to the letter,
and with such action on the part OF
those entrusted with power, the end to
all reasonable minds can not be far
distant. What the Government has
done but recently, should have been
done year ago; large majority OF
the people demanded it, the interest
of the government demanded it, and
but for the lack of just such measures,
postponed till the Great Republic well
nigh toppled from its basis-what have
we beheld? \ magnificent army, as
powerful as was ever organized, the
pride OF our people and hope OF mil
hons OF treemen, furnished with all the
accoutrements of war which the genius
of man could devise for the destruction
OF It's foes, remaining dormant and
wasting away by disease till ranks
have become derimated to all extent
outyieing the effects of battles and I'M
sheathed sabres.
The eonfscatiou bill passed by the
Congress OF 1862, is what has been
demanded since the disgraceful defeat
ut Bull Run. 1t is but the reecho of
fremont's Missouri proclamation, and
Hunters clalion notes of loyalty and
freedom from the Atlantic Coast. The
difference between the government and
these true patriots Is, that the govern
ment, SO complicated and blind to its
own security has been slumbering and
is now but scarcely awake to the great
necessities of the hour.
With incompetent Generals i'll the
field, whose conservatism out-ran then
loyalty, II army has been but the
suppliant tool to guard an enemy's coun
try and property; to catch and return
the parting fugitives who had run the
gauntlet Of bloodhounds and bullets
to convey intelligence to those who
they supposed were friends-if not te
the bearer of dusky hue, at least tc
the government III whose behalf they
were under arms; but, instead Of be-
ing treated as loyal members OF al
agonizing government, were returned
TO the scourge and lash Of traitors, tc
build intrenchments, construct defen
ees, and even act as gunners, to send
the MUSCLES of death into the ranks OF
nations defenders. So shameful 6
coarse is, by the confscation act, we
hone forever done away with. We
trust the time has cone by, when Iowa
men must be employed as guards tc
the property Of traitors: when on,
sons and brothers must lie weltering ir
gore, dying, suffering all the aeonie.

CORN, CORN CORN

Now is the time-to prepare for the largest corn
crop that ever grew on Southern soil. With the
last years cotton crop in the gInbouSes and sheds,
and the certainty that moderate crop of the great
staple" for this yer will be amply sufficient to sup
ply all demands, it is the part of wisdom for our
planters and farmers to spread themselves for the
biggest corn and provision crop ever made in this
country Therefore, let not a moment be lest Now
is the time to keep the plows steadily running turn
ing up the stiff clay lands to the and rain and
air-burying under all grass, weeds aud other vege-
table matter-throwing the wet soil up into broad
"lands," with deep and wide water fuTrOw to
carry of the surplus moisture so that your ground
will be dry for early planting And If you avoid
drought-the great enemy of corn-be sure and
plough deep; and also lay off your drills so that
You can plant deep; that is so deep that when the
tiny green shoots first break through the wide drill,
they may be two or three inches below the surface
of the middleS. To plant thus you must open deep
and wide drills and throw the earth back so not
to fill the furrow within two or three inches Use
all the manure you-can get; but remember that a
deep ploughing without manure is better than 4
shallow scratching with ever much in Scorch-
ing climate. - -.
Corn makes bread, and bacon and poultry and
beet, and fat horses and mules. 1t is the "a N
a-the staff Of life" for the South-it will feed our
armies and help yaRquish our foes. 1t Is the great
food cropEof this continent aud one of the greatest
blessings of the earth; therefore prepare now TO
cover larger surface than ever before; TO plant
and cultivate in "a better style, and with God )
blessing, to harvest large crop.-SOutheTR CRI'
