The INTRIGUEs OF THE GoyERNoRs.--A para
graph from the Washington Star, which we
published yesterday, shows that the Governors
have been at the bottom of whatever misun-
derstanding has existed between General HgeI
and General Halleck and the War Department
Their proposition for reserve force Of 100000
men is only another mode Of getting at the
$4,000 men to be commanded by Fremont, and
$4,000 by Mitchell, which the selfStyisd
National War Committee" demanded to have
the power Of raising. When we consider that
these Governors have kept back reinforoements
to the serious peril Of the national army, their
proposition to be entrusted with force Of
100000 mon is certainly very suspicious, to
say the least OF it; and we trust that the
government will not yield its assent to any
such dangerous demand. The designs Of those
men are evidently revolutionary.

Nationality amd NiggerisM.

Mr.. Seymour. the candidate OF the democrats,
and Mr.. Wadsworth, the candidate OF the radi-
Gals, for Governor Of this State. are equally in
favor Of vigorous prosecution Of the war.
Mr. Seymour announced most smphatically. in
his speech accepting the nomination that he
desired the war to be pushed forward energeti-
cally and trumphantly. Mr.. Wadsworth. in his
address TO screnading party ~ Washington,
said precisely the same thing. Both Of these
gentlemen, therefore. must be accepted as war
candidates, and can be supported by war men.
= The great and essential distinction between
the positions Of these two gentlemen i not,
then, in regard 10 the prosecution but il regard
TO the ebicct OF the war. Mr.. Seymour, like all
other war democrats, IN snd out Of Tire army.
believes in prosecuting the war for ihe Urhon,
or. in other words, for the maintenance Of our
nationality. Two-;hirds OF the officers and sol-
diers in our armies are democrats, holding views
identical with those Of Mr. Seymour. on the
other hand, Mr. Wordsworth believes IN rrosecat.

officers in the army and many stay-at-home

the two candidates may thsreios be- thus sue

of himself; Mr.. Wadswortb believes that we
should fight for the negre, and let the nation

nutshell.
Ii hos been often demonstrated in these
columns how greatly the radical faction have
added to the duration Of this war and ncgeased
the loss Of life and expenditure of treasure
during the year and q half OF battles which
have just elapsed, by attempting TO divide the
North upon NC slavery question, and TO
change the purpose Of the war by substituting

we could present in . few months would be the

on Morris and Sullivan's Islands are des-

be largo enough to make the passage Of the
forts comparatively quick and easy Once la

shall have no difficulty In forcing surrender
of all the surrounding fortifcations, and, from
the chivalry Of the place, we may look not
only for no resistance, but quiet submission
to our occupation, accompanied by entrea.iss,
no doubt, to spare their city and not allow 1t
to meet the fate it so justly deserves. All this
can be accomplished before the lst Of Decem-
Der, if activity aud energy on the part Of the
Navy Department will give us the feet neces-

THE PosTA1S CJERENCY.--Very great and not
unjust complaints sre made by the public against
the recent order from the Post Office Department
repudiating soiIcd or defaced stamps for post
age, when il is impossible to use stamps for
currency without soiling them and impossible
10 get along without using them in this way.
The department can very easily obviate any
necessity for such an order by instructing its
employees to destroy the stamps upon letters
passing through the post Office, instead Of mere
ly marking them, ~ at present. This would
make impossible for any person TO use
stamp twice or to clean cancelled stamp, the
abuse n which the department complains
But even supposing few hundred stamps
should be cleaned and used twice. the people
have to ~ for The lOss and they would rather
pay IL thousand times than submit 10 the an
!noying Inconvenience which the department il
causing by repudiating soilsd postage stamps
before the government has any other sort Of
currency ready for distribution and circulation.
The idea Of sending valuable letter to the
Dead Letter Office because the stamp il little
soiled OF corner Of it torn Of would be absurd.
II it were not dishonest Here Is q chance for
the government to obtain from the people
thirty, forty or City millions Of dollars without
interest, by issuing the postage currency or
supplying and encouraging III demand for
postage stamps. Why tbs chance 10 not taken
advantage Of efacial blockhesds, numakulls and

l turned in a light crcp Of grass the last OF
June, and sowed the sward TO buckwheat'
and had heavy crop. The next year
MANFRED the same field well, and planted
to corn. It came up feebly, looked pale
and sickly for all the first part OF the
summer, but seemed 10 recover in p nlea-

failure of the one following, and liking a
crop of forty bushels per acre OF buck
wheat, which is good swino feed, L re-
peated the same process wI.hln year or
two after. and with the same results.
then made up KY mind that buckwheat
is not only an exhausting crop, but that Il
leaves the soil unfit for q good crop after
1t, until it can recover from the deietclious
effects of the buei,wheat. 1t seemed 10

Gin my case l lost more on the corn
crops than the whole value OF the buck
wheat crop that will create cold
acidity in the soil, SO as to sensibly affect
the one following, is unfit to be grown
upon good soil. Buckwheat will thrive
fairly ON rather poor, sandy and gravelly
soils, if the season is not too dry. If /
mad such land. and was DESTROYS OF culti-
waiting this crop, | would put it upon this
kind of soil once in two years, letting it

1t is entirely for It's intrinsic worth that
we have been induced to select it as one

dessert apple Of the finest texture and
excellent flavor, it commands al intel sst
which attaches TO but few even Of our
best varieties Although native OF North
America, it is one OF those varieties which
attain their greatest perfection in this
country. Even as Z standard, an open
dwarf or q pyramid, 1t ripens perfectly
and grows TO a large size; but when grown
against wall, or in an orchard house, it
acquires q size and beauty, and a delcacy
OF flavor, which il does not when grown
in the open ground. The fruit IS fragrant

times to conicai The skin Is thin, at frs
of q greenish yellow on the shaded side.
