GENERAL ANDERs IN. We under
stand the health Of General Andcr-
son ie anything but satisfactory. -
His physicians have ordered hin
for the present TO avoid all undue
mental exercise. He is not allow.
ed to engage in any Of the public
plans, on business even OF the sim.
plest hature possible; consequently y
he is living with his family in the
utmost quiet at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, occupying rooms in the most
retired part of the building. Not
withstanding the best medical ad vice
and care which the hero Of Sumter
receives, he still bears with him a
care-worn look, anil it is feared that
he may never recover from the strain
that was made on his vital energies
during his defense Of the flag OF his
country New York World.

BownNo GREEN TO BE BURNED. -.
Those who have left Bowling Green

tho rebels will burn up the place
when they arc forced to evacuate.
as they inevitably must be before
many weeks. Their belief is
strengthened by the fact that four.
filths oil the property in the place
belongs to Union men. Some Of the
resident Sscessionists make no sc
cret oi the fact that such is thoir in.

WARRINGTON, February 1.-The
House Committee of Ways and
Means are more confident to. day o1
their ability to pass the legal tender
clause Of the hundred million note
bill. Mr.. Chase's answer to the
Committee of Ways and Means, was
received this morning. Their reso.
luton required him to express his
opinion as to the propriety and ne.
cessity Of the immediate passage by
Congress Of Mr.. Spalding's legal
tender bill The Secretary begins
by saying that the condition OF the
treasury is such that the committed
bill should be passed at the earlies,
practical moment. The general tea,

regard to the legal feature. he urges

q means for funding a considerable
amount OF the public stock, and con.

A Good Thing.

Congress has done one good thing
the passage OF the Allotment Bill
The President appoints three Com
missioners from each State who will
visit the camps. A soldier wishing
to set aside a portion Of his pay, fol
hia family, gives his name with the
amount he wishes 80 disposed of
to Commissioners, and thereafter tha
amount is sent directly to tho addrcs,
designated. Those licensed thieves
the Suffers, are indignant, as it vii
keep millions OF the soldiers none,
out OF their itching palms. Tn,
Legislature should at once provid,
for the payment OF the Commission
trs for this State, and star, them a
soon as possible.

WHEAT A WEED. lit has long been
suspected that the cereal grains are
but cultivated examples of wild cere,
al grasses--that they we're not crea-
ted, as corn, but that they have been
improved by culture iuto their pres
ent condition. This supposition
vas confirmed by NJ. Fabre Of Agde.
in the sou'h Of France, who. in 1888,
sowed some grains Of the -Agilops
oyata, a common cereal grass, and
by successive sowing in garden soil,
.prodnccd, in 1910, crops of real
wheat as fine as any to be found in
the noighhorhocd. This experiment
is now being carried on by the pro.
lessor OF geology and botany in the
royal agricultural college, and tho
era is gradually undergoing the
same transformation into the true
cereal grain.--[ Once a ITeek.

Tho Way the Thing will Work.

There is some good that follows
every evil. The Southern rebellion
that so sorely afflc,s us at this time
will, in the end, be the best thing
that could possibly have happened
US, and the very worst thing for oui
enemics.
Since the war commenced and the
supply Of cotton cut off. the atten-
ton OF agriculturists in Indiana and
Illinois has been turned to the cub.
Iject, and it is now a certainty, be-
yond tho possibility Of doubt. tha,
cotton of good quality can be
raised in both of those states, in fac,
in the whole of the Ohio and M Missis
sippi river country, and extraordina
ry efforts are now being made to 10
troduce the culture OF this necessary
article into that country. The South
has supplied us with sugar, bu, the
war cut off that supply. The atten
tion Of everybody was turned to the
sorghum, and before five years have
rolled around the North will no,
only make all she can use but will
export it in large quantities.
England sides with our enemies.
England alone, by her influence in
our politics, has kept us from foster.
ing and nursing manufactures. She
can do 30 no longer, ard from this
time out, America will be twice the
manufacturing nation it has ever
been.
Really, the war will accomplish
good. Under the pressure reforms
will bo instituted that will do the
country good for ages we will be
more sel'.reliant moro selt,sustain.
ing, and when it is closed and peace
restored will 60 on in the pathway OF
progress faster than ever. There ia
some sweet mixed in the cup OF Bit
terness.

Has IL Concerned lis.

roi 'uo paot 'Wchty ychrs, WHeH
ever bater OF slavery lifted up biz
voice in condemnation OF the system
one reply sprang as pat to the lips
Of his opposcrs, as though lips and
reply were made for each other: to,
wit, "What business have you &c
mcddle with it. 1t don't concern
you. What have we of Ohio to dc
with slavery in South Carolina any
more than we have with their Law
for the collection of debts"
With the multitude this reply was
convincing and sufficient.
Slavery has concerned every man
woman and child in Ohio, and rath
er nearly too. Let us look back q
little.
Slavery has ruled this country
this whole conntry--not South Oar.
olina, but Ohio as well, for over thir.
ty years. IL broke down Northern
manufactures by refusing a protect,
i've tariff to them, while it extended
high tariff over one ono of Its bant.
lings-sugar. 1t caused an exp,n.
awe war against the Florida lndi'
ans, resulting in their determination,
that its victims might not bo shel
,ored by them.
1t colonized and annexed Texas,
and plunged us into a bloody and
expensive war with NJ, ,xico, that il
might have new fields to waste, ne W
countries to run riot over, giving up
at the same .ime territory valuable
to the ,o.iols country, where It had
no special interest.
1t has, by it's continued eggross
Ions, kept the country in continual
hot water, bringing il scores OF times
10 the very verge oi ruin. And,
finally, when is right to rule the
country was disputed, it has risen in
arms against us, and lie striving with
all the energy It's informal nature
possesses to rand the fabric in twain
and establish upon free American
coil, monarchy and despotism.
1t strikes us that VIC have had
some trouble with the monster ever
though its lair was some hundred,
OF miles away from us. The 81 ,00(
bravo men now in the field from
Ohio, sacrificing life and money
would have all been at homo but (.
slavery. But for slavery, the coun
try would have been ut peace, tn,
plow wonld have gone on in its fur
row, the work shop would have ye'
r,syunded with the clang of the ham.
mrr, and prosperity woald have etil

nll that is evil, oil that ia damnable
all that is to be hated, Ioa,hed an,

would never have been heard.
