At dress parade Of this regiment, this

Accordingly at snndown the soldiers

Capt J Ohm +. French, of Go. X. was called

Crops for next Year.

W. arefemiude1 that our late editorial
a4yice as to the kind Of crops for next year
did not include fruit trees. and that Of late
and since the apple has been fonnd rer-
fectly aiopt,d or the soil aud climate Ct
this country, as well as the soil AMI climate
for :he apple, the planting Of orchards de-
mands first attention. We have written
and re-publishcd 50 much upon tie subject
Of orchards that we scarcely feel able TO
present anything new. We can only sum
up he results Of experiments from time to
time, and call the pnblic attention TO the
progress being made IN the successful cul-
ture Of apple trees. Ten or even five years
ago, very many intelligent men persisted in
purchasing trees grown abroad IN other
States, ATTITUDES and soils, through irrespon-
sible travelling agents who could afford to
promise anything that people wanted
promised and were wiling to pay for. This
was true in the very face of truth exhibit
ed everywhere that such trees were always
a failure--and in contrast with the fact that
home nursery trees, grated upon whole
roots and stalks, with scons known to stand
well in our climate, were perfectly success
full. Our exposures of these frauds of tree
agents, having the evidence afforded upon
almost every farm, have had much to do
in remedying mems errors, and il turning
the greet mass of public mind into right
channel. We think there will be very few
foreign nursery frees pedded through
Grant county this year by lying agents. and
that the sales Of homo nursury trees will
be larger by half than any former year.
We speak and pledge now in utter condem-
nation Of the trees brought from abroad
and Of the irresponsible agents who come
about year after year to paddle bogus trees
trees grated Of scions Of kinds which
may or may not stand our cimate-graft-
ed into bits Of roots which, imperfect in
any one respect and hence die at or be
fore the time Of maturing and fruiting.
There are two large nurseries in our county
where perfect grating is known to be done
-sciens of kinds known TO stand the eli
mate, and grated into perfect, whole roots

for strong resistance, bat finding the officers

That's What's The Matter.


Coy. Seymour's message exhibits iiitents
from beginning to end to beget conflicts
with the Federal Government. He also
calls for the organization Of the State Mill
tia. The design is professionally to CO.
operate with jeff Davis under pretense
of supporting the Constitution. Here is
what Seymour says, and it affords q good
idea Of his dark, sophisticated scheme to
bring on conflict with the Government:
If Presidential procIamations are above
the decision Of the courts and the restraints
Of the Constitution, then that Constitution
is a rnockery. If it has not the authority
TO keen its executive within its restraints,
then it cannot retain States within the
Union.
Those who hold that there is no sancti-
ty in the Constitution must equally hold
that there is no guilt in the rebellion. The
President has already signed an act Of Con
gress which asserts that the slaves Of those
in the rebellion are confiscated. The sole
effect Of this proclamation, Therefore, is to
declare the emancipation of the slaves Of
those who are not in rebellion, and who are
therefore loyal citizens"
The Constitution demands this wal
against tie rebels; its sanctity demands
the war. Seymour but lies must palpa-
bly, when he insinuates that the President
is disloyal. The Presidents proclamation
is war measure to save the Constitution
it is desperate measure, q last resort
just such Il resort as feeding sick men with
pills to cure a feve~. Constitutional good
health requires that no medicine be taken
(no proclamation but when treason Ids
easel comes, then the doctor issues a proc
Iamation, ordering ealomel to release tn,
bile and get the healtbful secretioas t.
work. The slaves are freed ly proca
nation, just as the bile is let loose In The
operation there may be temporary sickness:
caused, but the result must be healthful
Besides, the cause Of tie sickness (war)
must be removed. The trouble with Sey
mour is, that the proclamation ends The
democratic party as we'll as the rebellion
That's what's the matter

WooDMAN.--The proprietorl of the land
abovethe mouth Of Green river and near the
crossing fthe NJ. & Prairie du Chen rail-
road in his county, Mr.. Cyrus Woodman
and bis partner Smith, have laid out VII
lage. erected a station and warehouse build
ings and have opened trade and business
at that place, as will he seen by tleir adj
verdsement in our paper. We call atten-
ton TO their notice to the public, as it con-
tains several items of information Of publ c
interest. Among other things they have
opened a lumber yard.
This place, called Woodman, is but eigh-
teen or twenty miles from Lancaster, ard
the nearest point for taking the cars and
for delivery and receiving freights to oiti.
zens of large scope of country whose
nearest station has heretofore been at either
Bridgeport or Boscobel. AT present the
place has not all the facilities for business
possessed by Boscobel, but in time these
may be supplied. The situation appears
to us a good one; it certainly commands
a wide share Of country in the south rear.
provided the roads are made good. The
attention Of persons wishing to go into
trade or follow industrial pursuits is cited
to the advantages of Woodman. Is there
a Post.office at Woodman?

re- The law suspending legal action
and the collection of claims against soldiers
while off in the service Of their country Is
decided TO be unconstitutional and void j
the Supreme Court of this State. Sol
d;ers will take this as piece Of bad faith
toward them and an outrage. 1t reyerses
the common law and usage of all countries
IN time of war it invites the lazy, disloyal,
stay at-home money shaver and creditor to
now open his hungry jaws upoa the prop
eay of the soldier and strip him Of every-
Thing while the soldier is absent aud unable
to defend his suit and property. We won
der whether the Supreme Court has heard
of there being war upon the Constitution
and against the Country, and wonder if it
has ever entered their heads that in times
like these the soldiers are to have the ben
Gifts of all doubtful laws. We can tell the
Honorable Comt that their decision won't
stand--no even the shocks of revision
by themselves. The soldiers must be pro
4ectea while absent in the army--they
must, and these rebel aid fires in the rear
must be put out or the next thing we know
there'll be no army, no country, no consti.
tuition, no nothing Int HI everywhere
and no Supreme Conr. to hear appeals.

Warning to Town Election Boards and County Supervisors

By the official vote in another column
II viii be seen that many of the town cleo
ton canyassers at The latespecial Congress
sional election in Grant county either failed
TO make returns or failed 10 make them per-
feet, and the result was that many towns
lost their votes. Tie ike sas rare in this
county at any previous election, and there
must be causes. We now explain Why
no returns Wers made from some Of the
towns and why imperfect returns came
from others:
AT the meeting Of Tie county Board in
November last, rule was made in the
B8ard to not pay those who bring in the
election returns, only for milage. Il may
easily be seen that this is wrong, even sup
posing the law is silent as to any per diem
ply for carrying the election returns to the
c.,rk's office; men Dc not like to work fol
the public for nothing, and feed themselves
yet this was substantially the older Of tliC
Board. The consequence was that in some
towns nobody could be found to 90 tc
Lancaster with the returns This rule Of
the Board was wrong and demands at once
a reconsideration.
In the next place the several towns were
oit of printed election blanks, and as the
law is a little Blind in several particulars
some Of the canyassing boards were una
BE to make out legal returns. Some years
ago the county Beard ordered printed a
large quantity Of bl INK oaths and return
blanks for election caEyassers, but these are
all used up. The cost for such blanks is
bat small and tho County Board should or
der !hem sometime previous TO apothel
election. We believe in screwing, but not
in such tight work as to hinder tie protnp
delivery of correctly made ont election re
turns. Let the County Board see to these
matters that there be no more failures fol
which they are responsible Had tie re
turns beenall good and promptly delivered
Mclndoe's majority would have been wei
on t. 200 greater than it Is. Let thos,
who make returns be paid aid let blanks
be furnished hy the county.

WHAr DOES IT MEAN.-Mr. ]. p. Lew
IS has made US a present of hand BEL
iows, but we are at loss to make out
whether he means a compliment or a what
else. A bellows must be emblematic Of
wiad does be mean that we are windy
and blow TOO much, or that our wind is out
aid that a new supply is needed. We ac-
knowledge the appropriateness Of this edi-
torial f.vor. but Of the donors meaning we
are not exactly satisfied. However, as he
is in ths habit of making valuable presents
to customers, such as hats, boots, coats and
the like, We take it that he means no harm
by this appropriate mark of respect to ena-
lie us 10 raise the wind.
