Gov. BramIette,s Position.

Gov. Bramlette of Kentucky, while oppos-
ing the arming and employing of negroes,
says distinctly that ''slaves SO employed can
not be again RENTED to bondage" AS to the
copperheads and their opposition to the gov
eminent he Says;-
owe cannot too strongly condemn the fac
tiOus opposition of those who assail, not to
correct, but tor the purpose OF weakening the
loyalty OF the citizen, and lettering the move
ments Of the government. We condemn, as
reasonable, the efforts of those who attempt
to organize, under pretence of opposition to
obnoxious war measures, a party whose real
purpose is not to correct the evils complained
OF, but use them as pretence for Withholding
the necessary supplies and aid for our defence,
and thus aid and assist the rebellion. Much
of this form Of reasonable opposition is at
tempted under clamor for free speech and
free press! Liberty of speech and of the
press, as well us of action, must remain una
bridged so long as our government exists in
its present form. But freedom and license
are very different and repugnant. Free
speech is not licensed tongue. licen-
tous is not free speech. To do, to say, to
write, to print, what we have right to do, to
say, to write, or print is the freedom for
which we should contend We should not be
free to do what we have no right to do
As to the alleged 'arbitrary" action of the
authorities, in arrests and the like, Governor
Bramlette says:
-''The rebellion has appealed from the civil
tribunals, which rule by force of reason, to
the military powers which rule by physical
force. Each has its appropriate rules-the
one just as constitutional as the other, but
very different. Until the rebellion dIsmisses
its appeal and consents to the civil rule, the
law must be expounded by the rules of the
power to which they have appealed. The
power to suppress rebellion is limited only
by the statutes of the country where it exists
and by the usages of civilized nations. When
the rebellion is suppressed and the rebels con-
sent to submit to the civil instead of the mill
tary rule, then the civil will take the place of
the military and judicial precedent will again
become the rule of Interpretation. Those
who appeal from the civil to the military au
thorites are great simpletons if they expect
the argument of the bayonet to be construct
ed upon judicial precedent"

Kalon-and the only To Kalon which l ever
saw mildewed-and the other an Isabella.
The drain being untouched, the grapes were
entirely destroyed. A Catawba, standing
over the same drain, and not six feet from the
Isabella, was uninjured. In my opinion the
Catawba is harder than the Isabella, and the
Io-kalon harder than either, never winter
killing, bearing every season large fine clus-
tiers of delicious flavor-keeps well, and
rlpens earlier than the Isabella.-E. A. K,

A Coop WORD FOR THE skuNk.-Th

A COOP WORD FOR THE SKUNK.-The
American Agriculturist says of the skunk:
GAN summer long he roves your pasture at
night picking up beetles and grubs, poking
with his nose potato hills where many worms
are at work. He is after the grubs, not the
tubers. He takes possession of the apart
ment of the woodchuck, who has quartered
himself and family upon your clover field or
garden, and makes short work with all the do
nestle arrangements of that unmitigated nuis-
ance. With this white backed sentinel
around, you can raise clover in peace, and
the young turnips will flourish. Your beans
will not be prematurely snapped, and your
garden sauce will be free from other vermin.
The most careless observation of his habits
shows that he lives almost exclusively upon
insects. While you sleep he is busy doing
your work, helping to destroy your enemies.
In any fair account kept with him, the balance
must be struck in his favor. Thus we often
find friends under the most unpromising ap-
pearances, and badly abused men are not I'M
frequently the beneiactors of society.

A year ago, in this dear month of May,
! heard voice borne DER the waters say
"Weep, for her gentle soul has passed away"
The words had scarcely ceased, when on her face
gazed, or so it seemed but saw no trace
OF aught save life, and loveliness, and grace.
In an unconscious attitude of rest
She lay, with hands cross folded on her breast
Looking, indeed, like one supremely blest.
There was no change, save only that light
Left by deaths kiss upon her brow so white,
Glimmered about her face, and made it bright
"What is this mystery OF death? said;
"Who are the living! Are not they the dead,
Who weep, in bonds of flesh, the spirit hed!n
An answer, but from whence could not tell,
Upon my ear like softest music fell:
WAH is of God. He dOsth all things loeH 20
Then looking up towards the far blue skies,
Her whom we mourn l saw, i'll angel guise,
Smiling beside the gates of Paradise.

MTLDEw ON GRAPEs.-I noticed in late
issue of the Country Gentleman an article
headed "Mildew OH Exotic Grapes" In II
conversation with an old German wine grow
er, he stated that powdered lime, sprinkled on
grapes and leaves when widowed, was sure
remedy and preventive. He stated that he
had seen it tried in Germany as well as in
this country, and always with complete sue

vines this season, l noticed but three on

which widowed stood over drains which had
become partially stopped. Beneath two OF
