DYING Id THE LAST DITcHu., g.,

Vallandigham and the vallandighammers
have always sttsmpted to delude the country
into the belief that the Chivalry would die In
the last ditch rather than surrender. Val. says
that In all his pilgrimage, while in Southern
exile, eyeryonAn, woman and child swore
unanimously they would never give up the
contest, but would ight it out to the last man,
woman anu child -.I frs ...s.u :. .0I r-t
What the fact We find that when the
rebels get tothe last ditch, when mule meat Is
q dollar pound, as at Vicksburg, they surren-
der on condition of being paroled; and when
their last mule Is eaten, as at Port Hudson,
they surrender aueonditionally.' The chivalric
sorthron has no more stomach for mule meat
and the last ditch than Yankee "mudsills.''

work a little than see his family at home s1f-
fering, while the celered families are clothed
and feed by the government. I think if our
President would see that the families OF sot
diers were better cared for and let the Niger
alone awhile he would do at least one kind act
during his despotic reign. / said that the ne-
groes got moro pay than the soldier. And |
really believe he does. For you see a private
soldier gets but thirteen dollars a month ("shin-
plasters at that and has to, if married, support
his family, while a Niger gets ten dollars and
the government provides fer his family, SO
you see a niger has $40 clear cash while a
soldier has Sl3 and a family to maintain.
And to make the thing still worse they are
organizing niger regiments to fight along
with the white soldiers. The abolition plea is
that they are the cause of the war and should
help fight. . And when you tell them this il
an abolition war you are called a traitor. But
1 must close for the present. I have only
told you what L think of the policy of the war,
and what l have said in this letter l am able
to stand up to. Hoping that this once glo
rious and prosperous nation may soon be re-
stored to its former condition, and abolition
ism as well as secessionism may soon be rooted
out and that true democracy, which is our only
salvation for our bleeding country, may again
rule. I remain as ever, your friend aud fell

INTERNAL REvENuE DEc1sIoNs.-The
Commissioner of Internal Revenuehas decided
that where land is sold subject to ground rent,
a stamp appropriate to the consideration of
the deed by which the property is conveyed is
the proper one. The rights of the ground
landlord and of the owner of the ground rent
are regarded as two differenteestates and sub
ject to sale and conveyance, and also to stamp
duties, independent of each other. 1t is also
that where a State is grantor in a deed
of conveyance, the fiscal or executive Office
executing the instrument is not obliged to
afix a stamp. The Instrument, however, is
not the less subject to stamp duty which must
be paid by the grantee, and the stamp must
be affixed by him. When there has been ne
glect to afix the stamp on an instrument here
tofore made, the stamp may yet be affixed by
either party to the instrument, or by any using
it or having an interest in the subject. Where
notes are given, which are secured by mort
gage, stamps for the mortgage will be sufhci-
emit without stamping the notes, provided it
calls for a stamp of a larger denomination
than would be required by the notes. All
promissory notes, whether under or over TWEEN
ty dollars, are. subject to a stamp. =

some hard times since we left your hospitable
roof, but such is the life of a soldier. Sic

but none of the Hayesvilte boys, with the ex.
~csption of D.. Carr, who is in the Hospital at

as a general thing was very beautiful, but
alasl the destruction of this rebellion none can
tell except they behold it themselves. 4 For
miles You cannot see a fence, it look like a
Prairie, and We have to use fences as fuel in
this country. j will tell you what I have
heard men. say hereyand / think the people of
Kentucky area very hospitable people. All
they mean to do or care for is just to have
enough to live through this rebellion aud they
are satisfied, they do not expect to add to their
riches or to mass a slarge pile of gold as some
of them do who are in high places in this

SAVE YOUR PLUMBs.-Mr.S s. B.. CREToRs
of Xeuia, Ohio. writing to the Ohio Cuuiua-
tor says: at will be worth a years subscrip-
ton for your paper to many of your subscr;-
bers to know that their plumbs can be saved
from attack from the Curculio by a very sim
pie process /; and as it is now about tho time
of year for it to be known, I will, with your
consent, state for tie benefit of the readers of
the Ono Farmer, the method that is most
e~ffeetual, and also my experience. AS soon as
the blossoms are off the tree, take a bucket o;
Stacked lime (air Stacked is the best,) In a dry
state, and when the tree is wet with dew in
the morning throw the lime through the tree
by handsfulEdon't be afraid of it. IF the tree
is large, get a pair Of steps or something else
10 SCduQ upOu, v budI yOu thO III
we'll through the tree and the work is done
until after the lime is washed off with a rain,
and then you will give your tree another Ii
ming. In this way keep your tree lined un-
til abot the 10th of June, and I will insure
that the plums will be safes My experience
has satisfied me that the above is an infalable
defense against the Curculio. One of my
neighbors (Mr. G.. d. Stark, and myself have
tried it for two years past with the most graf
flying result. I had two plum trees growing
in my yard they would regularly bloom, but
not one of the 'pIums would remain on tie trees
to ripen. In the spring of 1861 few plums
on each tree escaped destruction from the frost;
1 lined one of them as above and saved the
fruit whilst on the other tree not one plum
escaped being stung by the Curculio. The
next spring I lined both trees and found it
to be a conplete success. I believe that no
such plums were ever before produced in this
county ; one of them was a Golden Drop ; they
were larger than Shanghai hen eggs; the 9th.
er was of a beautiful redish purple covered
with bloom, and of the size or rather large,
than the Green Gage. 1 believe 1 never saw
q richer collection of fruit than those were,
Mr.. Stark met with the sane gratifying sue
cess L wish that newspapers generally would
call the attention of fruit growers to this rem
edy. It may be applied with equal advantage
to all other kinds of fruit that -IIaseets are in
the habit Of destroying. And permit me to
suggest the same as a defense against the raw
ages of the caterpillar.
