ID. Tod on the Crisis.

David Tod, or Pot Metal Davy as he wa,
popularity dubbed either on account of hi,
abdominal proportions or the impenetrablC
hardness Of his head has delivered HIM
self Of speech upon his favoritc theme
d. Tod seldom speaks but upon one sub
ject; to its thorough comprehension he has
| devoted the greatest part of his life; it is .
! subject which warns him with enthusiasm,
astounds him with admiration, and over
whelms him with its momentous importance.
That subject is-D Tod. The ''eaglcye'
Of the 'incorruptablc Governor" has taken
survey of the whole universe and the won
ders thereof but it never gazed upon any
thing worthy Of a moments consideration,
except-D. Tod His mind was wandered
like lost pedestrian on the prairie, but it
ever returned TO the contemplation of the
same point from which it started-D. Tod.
To him the human family is but a 7, the
round globe an 0, the earth a ID. and their
union makes-Tod.
With this preliminary explanation we
may introduce the speech Of the Eagle
eyed, y delivered at the Baltimore Conyen-
ton and telegraphed to the loyal journals Of
Cincinnati:
In the caucus Of the Ohio delegation
this morning the question Of the Vice Pres
ldcncy camcup, on the statement Of 4 dele
gate that Mr. cd name would probably be
presented 10 the Convention for the Y ice
Presidency, in which case Ohio should unani-
mously rally to him TO this MIR. Gaddis
replied, that Ohio should look to her future
interests more than to personal preference
She should do nothing now against her

THE CRITrENDEN COMPROMISE 1t is

This regiment, now encamped at Barrancas,
Fla, and at Mobile Point, near Fort Morgan,
arrived in this city in April last and numbered
about ,230 officers and men-ro0ust, strong
and hearty. well armed, equipped, and disci-
plined--such troops as Name has furnished in
commendable numbers. fsg4sa h iIs
Immediately upon landing, companies A, D,
and a part OF @, under command OF Major Mil
Ter, were re-embarked and sent to the front to
participate In the Red river expedition. After
six weeks honorable and active part In that
campaign, they rejoined the regiment at Thi-
bodaux. It8
Between the months of May and August the
regiment was encamped at Thibodaux, Napo-
leonvile, Brashear City, and different points
along the New Orleans and Opelousas Rail-
road, plcketing, scouting and skirmishing with
the enemy in and around nearly all parts Of
the Latouche District. Here the men, whose

A CARD.

MEssRs EproKs 1t seems that some one has
originated good deal of wrong talk about a certain
lot Of young peach trees which | am selling this
fall calling them Of forced growth, selling below
cost" &c. The facts of the follows: The
trees year old from the seed They have been
grown good soil, and have been well attended 10.
Now, the quality of the soil, and the thorough Gull
ture which they have received, the only "stmu-
lants or |forcing' which have been applied them
True, they have made a extraordinary grow tn for
such the one just past but that
have, by any means, given them ''undue forcing is
simply ridiculous talk. This may readily be believed
it would not be worth anything to Ia have them
grow to an unusual SIZE they would not sell for
enough more pay one-haf the expense of forcing.
1t is partly that sell them rather low but does
that argue that have taken force them
think not.
The Seeding stocks" or natural trees, are from
two and one-half to four feet high with bud" Of
good variety nicely set in each one, near the
ground. The full length of the top is left on, for the
present that if the coming winter should kill few
of the buds that set in them the past August,
the will still be suitable for planting i'll orchards
every at all conversant with such matters
knows that Seeding peach tree is much
"hariy" than grated one and quite likely bear
God fruit.
As to selling them below cost, to beat down oppn-
sition,"-that is simply false | not how much
opposition there is in the trade. If my way Of raising
them involves less cash outlay than is the with
other nuIserymen, can afford sell lower. But the
principal at present Is that have lately sold
my nursery grounds, and wish to remove my stock
soon in order get located again. My prices but
little below the old fashion of prices. In other branch
Of trade, Dry goods, Groceries ETC. the who
procures his 'stock" the lowest sells the lowest, and
it is called all right. am selling the question
at so, per hundred, seven cents each for smaller
quantities N the nursery This Is not ''under COST
Indeed am always in favor Of fair prices Not too
low, exorhitantly high. II can, under the cir
cumstances, afford 10 sell my peach trees at less than
twenty cents each, have not the privilege of doing i?
Come ghborin nursery men, If circumstances JUST
fy in selling few peach trees lower than some o
you please don't talk quite hard about it. Perhaps
may next settle in other locality and leave YOU
furnish my customers of this vicinity, with trees It
your own prices.
