ON THE CULTURE OF PEARS.
Mr. Editor:-I give you the follow
ing as my experience in the cultiva-
ton of pears. Those wishing trees
to come into bearing soon, should
plant dwarf varieties; especially peo-
DIE who live in towns or cities. and
not much ground to spare. There
has beena great deal said on raising
dwarf Pears for the following reasons;
meet one fruit grower a little enthusi-
astic on this subject, and he tells you
that nothing is easier than to grow
fine dwarfs. Look into his garden
and you see them. splendid pyramids;
the bark smooth as though it was
vanished, the limbs coming out at
nearly right angles, and loaded with
fine fruit Look at the farther end of
his garden and, quite likely you
will find tub of soap suds, sink
water, or a fountain of liquid ma
nure, which reveals the secret of his
success. Another gentleman tells
you, dwarf Pears are humbug, de-
vice Of nurserymen to impose upon
the public. Look into his fruit yard,
and you see his trees dead or dying
Probably small post hole had been
dug, the roots jammed into the hole
in the tough sward and left to do for
themselves. They will dwindle sew
eral years in that condition, until
worms bore them at the collar, or
scale bug, or sap blight destroys the
trees;-a very good basis for the
owners opinion. What then, is the
truth upon this subject? Both these
men are right; dwarf Pears are a sue
cess with the first, because he takes
care of them, and nuisance to the
latter because ne pays them no at
ton. l have small pear orchard of
some hundred and nifty trees. Ihave
picked from some of the dwarfs.
from two hundred, to two hundred
and fifty fine pears. They have been
set ont about eight years, and will
average in hight from seven to nine
feet. Some varieties will not do on
the ounce stock. The fruit books
will point them out If you cannot
afford to prepare suitable piece OF
ground, do not purchase dwarf pear
trees. In addition to being properly
planted, they must have care every
season. They should be shortened
in every spring, about one half of the
previous seasons growth. This keeps
them stocby, and prepares them to
sustain great burden of fruit. They
want good loose soil. if not loose,
made so by deep blowing or spading.
If not rich, make it so with some well
decomposed manure. Set the trees
ten feet apart each way: cultivate
between them with vegetables or
something that will not shade the
trees. Every fall, give them a small
barrow load of well rotted manure
around the trees, for the ounce stock
canuot go very far in search of food
I think with these directions, most
people will find Pear culture more
sure than peach, plum, or cherry. l
would say to every farmer, plant at
least ole hundred trees.

why Could not the Adm mini istra- =
tiOn Hold its Own in PennSyl-
yania!

Why could not the Administration hold
its own in Pennsylvania What was lack
ing? Not patronage, not money; not effort;
not speeches by men of ability for the whole
talent of the Republican party was assem-
bed in that one State. They claim that the
victories won by our noble armies inure to
their advantage; if this claim be well toun-
ded. when can they expect such another
series of trumphs as Farragut, Sherman,
Sheridan, and Grant, have given them since
the meeting of the Chicago Convention ?
jeff Davis made speech at Macon, which
they considered trump card in the way OF
an electioneering document, and took pains
to disseminate everywhere in that view
Looking at the canvass from their own point
of view, everything concurred to favorthem.
Mr.. Lincoln, then, still judging from their
standpoint ought to have gained. Instead
of the fifteen thousand majority which his
party had in the State last year, Pennsyva-
MIA should have been carried by the Repub-
licans by at least fifty thousand majority
Why is it that, instead of this, he has lost
the State
1t is simply because they were profoundly
convinced that Republican rule is the ruin
of the country, They have had four years
trial of it, and find that it is bloodshed,
bankruptcy, taxation, poverty, despotism.
1t is dsuniona at home, and dishonor abroad.
1t is the loss Of free speech, free press,
the habeaS corpus. and the protection of the
laws. 1t is fifty cents for yard of calico,
and sixty cents for pound of Coffee. 1t
is CRATE without Goals and a table without
butter. 1t is dirty shnplasters in place OF
silver half-dollars. 1t is husbands and faith
ers torn from their homes by a Provost

through the necessities of the war has been
to rapidly increased, and to such an enor-

render the application of the one term prin-

Of our Republican institutions.
From the Springfield Republican, Republican,
1t is sad, shocking picture of the life at
Washington which our correspondents are

nent made house of seduction and pros
titution. The necessities of poor and pretty
women the means of their debauchery by
high government officials, Members of Con-
gress getting their mistresses into clerk
ships in the departments. An honorable
Senator knocked down in the street by
woman whom he had outraged Whiskey
drinking dd lJitum The government
cheated in contracts, and openly robbed by
its employees
Writes our most careful correspondent
long resident of the Capital: Washing
ton was never so villainously currupt as at
the present time. In the palmy days of
Southetn rule, there was not half the cor
ruption there is now. We do not doubt that
this is true; and VIC repeat, it is sad,
shocking picture

regard to their conduct at Yorktown, Will

House, and on the Chickahominy, as well
sin regard to the Seven Days and their re-
cent retreat" appealed Gen. Mcclellan to
the War Office at the close of the peninsu-
la campaign, and when he was about to
march back to the defense of Washington
imperied by the imbecility and treachery
Of Lincoln, Stanton and the rest ''No one
has ever said anything to cheer them but
myself, he added; say nothing about me;
merely give my officers and men credit for
what they have done. 1t will do you much
good and strengthen you much with them,
if you issue handsome order to them IN
regard to what they have accomplished.
They deserve il" The War Office was
dumb 1t had not single word of appro-
val or encouragement for the Army of the
Potomac, whose valor and bloody trials we
on Monday depicted in the words of Ray

to crush the commander whose laurels and
popularityit it politically dreaded But few

and the President for release from a con-
3 finement which some of them have suffer
ed for two years-separated for over three
years from wives and little ones but, as
with the Army Of the Potomac under Nc
Clellan, there is no response. But for a
few negroes, who are simply held by the
rebels in the comfortable condition they
have enjoyed all their ives-who are fur
nished good food, raiment and shelter and
who enjoy healthful exercise in the employ
ment to which they are used--who are con-
tent and happy and make no appeals for
! liberty, the compassion of the War Office is
moved beyond consideration for any other
question involved in the war. All other
questions, the Solicitor proclaims, may be
postponed, but every one of this handful of
negroes must be recognized as "a man and
brother ~

For the Farmer.
A Dream.

JUDGE ESTILL--SIR Below l give
you copy of a dream, as related to me by
q friend, some three years since. As near
as l can remember, it is as follows "As
he was crossing deep and narrow valley,
that was nearly destitute of vegetation, he
saw small fer tile spot directly in front of
him, in the centre of which stood small,
but thrifty tree-the body was very smooth,
and true in shape, and the branches were
such as to give the top of the tree the shape
of cone.
The beauty of this tree was such, that he
could not help admiring it, and behold! there
commenced to swell a small knot on one
side which appeared to him, to be the north
east side of the tree; and which soon burst
forth in a branch, apparently dead, but
which still grew, and branched, until it ap-
pearcd as large as the main body of the
tree, the branches Intervening, with the
branches on the north side of the tree, until
the north half Of the tree seemed to be
more than half composed of dry branches.
As time passed, he heard roaring, as of
heavy wind, or a waterfall, which seemed
to come nearer, and shortly the wind began
to blow, at first lightly but increased TO gale,
which stripped the tree of some of its small
branches, and totally demoralized the dry,
false branch, by peaces, leaving great scar
which it would take several years to heal
over entirely. After the wind had cease to
blow, the tree soon assumed its former ap-
pearance; the small branch and leaves that
had been blown away, were replaced by a
vigc rous growth of young shoots.
My Interpretation Of this singular dream
is this The tree alone as it first appeared
to my friend, was the prosperous state of
the country before the first talk of Aboli-
tionism. The small knot that grew to
great branch, was the birth and growth of
Aboltionsm-the wind was our present
strife, the fall of the dSy branch is the final
triumph of the Democracy, and the ruin and
fall of Abolition principles p.

The Saturdays Pittsburgh Republican
contains the following statement of Mr..
Geo. Stumpf, member Of the 7th Pa.
Cavalry;
PITTSBURGH, Oct. IA, GA.
I, GEORGE STuMPF, member of the 7th
Pennsylvania cavelry and attached to the
music corps, do hereby certify, that al
though formerly resident of Pittsburgh,
en- route from Atlanta to Pittsburgh, was
requested together with about 1000 other
soldiers by the officers in indianapolis, at
which place we arrived at A 0 clock in the
morning of election day, to vote the Re-
publican State ticket. A great part Of the
soldiers were Germans. At the depot
were carriages which took us to the polls,
and many of the soldiers voted twice and
three times. We handed our votes into
a window, and nobody asked us whether
we mad right to vote or whether we
formerly resided in the State. Afterwards
we were treated with ale and all other
things we might eat or drink. l am con,
vineed that every soldier Of the 1000 voted
once, and many two or three times, al
though We belonged to Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Michigan, Maryland and other States, Be
side US in Indianapolis also voted about
1000 invalids belonging to other States,
At $50 p. IN. started the soldiers of the
Pennsylvania regiments to Crestline, and
the soldiers of other States to other places.

A Rare Specimen.

The candidate of the party of higher
moral ideas, " all the decency and rcspecta-
bility, &C., for Governor in Illinois, is a
rare specimen of the genteel Abolitionist.
His name is OGLEsBY, and he is regarded
by the Abolitionists as the perfect. embodi-
ment of their principles and morals. The
St. Louis Republican,, which paper had re-
porter with Oglosby during the fore part
of the canvass, says
At CarroIlton, Oglesby devoted ten or
that he was not drunk at Jacksosille few
saws previous, as rumor had represented,
and he said the person who circulated such
rumor was Cd id peace sneak, and
a snotty nosed son of b.h;; His speech
es abound in expressions of this sort to such
an extent as to outrage all decency.
