err Government and Reputation.

We believe the world hss never seen SO religious
IN army US that OF ths Confederate States since
the days of Charles the MI, who always had
prayers read at the head of his army highland
morning. We DO rot except the Puritan Army
of Oliver Cromwell, for we have long thought,
ne old Noll himself, upon u memorable OCCASION
ssid to Col. Harrison, "th-v were often upon their
knees seeking not God but ! cork screw"
We hold too the samc high opinion of the civil
department of tic Confederate Govcrnment. We
have believed that they were q just, upright,
God fea.ing Sc: Of men We still think so, and
viii continue 20 think 20 until this cherished
opinion is torn from us by IN open act of dere-
liclion from the pnth of honor on the part of
those whom we have trusted.
But what mean these evil reports that are COM
ing up to US, fret from Charleston and now from
Richmond, of an intention on the part of Govern
mcnt to repudiuto the public debt? This rcpudia-
ton, says the correspondent Of the Mercury, has,
it is said, the sanction of the lion. II. ". 7. Hum
tor. We do not believe this Of Mr.. Hunter, and
we arc sure that the Secretary Of the Treasury,
Mr.. Mcmminger, will never lend his influence 10
guCH u Us!iTlubS sCueluc. We uuFC lHS UTMOST
confidence in Mr.. Memmingcr as a man Of honor
and integrity, and wc ore sure he Will never sanc-
ton Il scheme Of downright fraud.
We are panied however, anG alarmed, VIC con-
fess, that such chargcs can be brought ani-dis-
ccssed publicly in our news papers. The nero
circulation of such rumors by the Press is calcu-
lated to 10 scrious injury to tho currency of the
country. Public credit, like female virtue, must
not only be pure, but above suspicion. We know
that these reports are already b~egetting distrust
and suspicion in the public mind, and working
injury c, tho financial interest of the country.
We think therefore that the interest of the country
demands of those in authority at once to set at
rcst The public mind on this subject.

Convention of Nurserymen.

A prominent Nurserymarand Frait-Gro~e
ola %neighboring State, writes US as follows
u. REDMOND, E.q,-Dear Sir-Wuuld ii
not be we'll for the Nurserymen of the South
TO meet together some time during the pres
ent summer, for consultation on matters per-
timing TO their business? 1t seems 10 me
very desirabe that, at least, there should be
concert of action in regard toprice' adapted
to the times. 1t is preposterous to sell the
products of the Nursery at the prices which
ruled previous to the var, while everything
else is SO enormously high. A regular seized.
ule of prices should be established and sd-
hered to by all e~ngagedip selling trees, vines,
shrubs, &c. Other matters of interest to the
profession, and to Southern promology, might
very properly engage The attention of an as
selnblage Of Southern Nurserymen, and l
should be pleased to see the proposition car
ried into effect.
The object of this noteis to suggest to you
the prcrriety of calling attention To the sub
iect in The colulnps of the next issue of the
!" CaLicasor," should it meet your approha-
ton. Let tie meeting. or convention, be
held, eay NJ Atlanta or Augusta. some time in
the month of August. If you agree with me,
name the time and place in the next number
of the Cultiuator.
Fully agreeing with the writer of the above,
in the views he has expr ssed, we take the
liberty ofappointing Atlanta as the place, and
Wednesday the 10Th of Angtst, as the time
of holding the Convention and we hope the
importance of the subject vii, secure a full
