ag- Western Virginia retains SLAYER,

ES western virginia retains slavery
and rejects free negroes. The Constitu-
tional Convention in session at Wheeling
has agreed upon the following provision,
which is said to be in accordance with
popular sentiment. "No slave shall be
brought, or free person of color shall come
into this State, for permanent residence,
after this constitution goes into operation"
Not many slaves have been brought into
Virginia during many years past. She
has been negro raising and negro ex-
porting State. We speak now of the
whole State. The number of slaves in
Western Virginia is small and will doubt
less diminish from year to year. The ban
against free negroes shows how worthless
population they are esteemed by peo-
pie who know ali about them.- Chicago

ra- Senator Chandler. Of Michi-

40 senator CnanuleT, OF Michi-

per, will introduce resolution for the
expulsion Of Mr.. Powell, of Kentucky"
We do not undertake to say that Mr..
Powell ought or ought not to be expell-
ed, but we can confidently declare that
Chandler ought to be expelled. 1t was
he who wrote to the Governor of Michi-
gan urging tho appointment of delegates
to the memorable Peace Convention at
Washington, for the express purpose Of
defeating any accommodation of the ma
tional difficulties through its instrument
tally, and alleging that such accommoda-
ton would break up the republican par
ty. 1t was in this same letter to the
Governor of Michigan that he said, "with.
out little blood-letting this Union, in
my estimation, is not worth a rush.
He is beautiful subject to move the ex,
pulsion of any Senator, no matter what
may be his guilt. Why does not some
Senator move that he be expeled9 He
ought 10 be expelled not only from the
Senate, but from the association Of all de
cent people, Chicago Times.

another great discovery, TO wit: That
"there is an extraordinary lack of ordna-

Secretary Stanton he has probably found
another curiosity to add to his cabinet.

He was probably as great curiosity to

cap, as one of the New York Fire Zou-

ter the battle of Bull Run. While there
proposals were made our hero to join the
British cause, backed by large offers Of
land in the United States. Allen replied
" that promises of land in the United

CULTURE OF PEAS.

Peas for early use may be planted a. soon -
the ground Can be worked in the Spring-say,
BY the 10Th OF April. The sol need not be Of
an extra quality or richness fot the successful
growth OF peas. Even the same soil may be
nsed for . number Of years with good results,
this plant deriving most of its structure and
substance from the atmosphere.
When the ground 10 being prepared for plant
ing, some fresh stable manure should be spread
..AA-~ shia -sriii ha fo"nd tn ha hiohlv h..nea.
thereby much scceerstisg the growth. Spade
the ground deep.
In gardens, peas should be sown in double
rows fifteen inches apart, these double rows
three feet apart, running North and South il
possible, tor The better admission of the sun and
light, strewn pretty thickIy in the rows, and
cover An inch in depth.
Peas arc often much infested with bags /;
where such is the case, more seed must be used !;
there is very little danger Of getting them TOO
thick In the rows, especially the dwarf varieties.
For . succession. SOW at intervals of one
week ~ long as may be desired; though they
viii not often succeed s0Wn later than the mid.
die OF May, as they seem to thrive best at Q low
temperature and also require . large amount Of
moisture.
A soon a. the young plants begin to appear
the ground should DO thoroughly stirred close
up to the rows, and to the depth Of three or
four inches. This is best performed with an
iron-teothed garden rake, which may be drawn
carefully across the rows, as well a. parallel to
the same, that she ground may be well pulvsr-
lied and the outer crust and lumps broken up.
The ground cannot thus be raked over too
often, and should be, at least once in four or
i've days, until the plants are six inches high,
when they should be pushed; one row Of bush
e serving for the two, or double row, Of pea.
Aellowing up the ground deep with hoe or
spade just before bushng will be Of great ad
vantage, a. it not only renders the soil light and
porous, but more or less prunss the root, thereby
Fastening maturity.
For garden cultivation the Early Kent, Daniel
O'Rourke, and Prince Albert are among the
best early varieties. These are al dWarfe,
growing Ia feet high, aud prolific bearers.
For later sorts (alsO dwaris) plant Blue In
perial, Bishops Long Pod, and washingtso.
