Distrust of the Administration
WhV Is It?

Why is it that Grant shows such distrust of
Washington? Why does the administration per-
sistently deceive the people Why do the peo-
pie withhold all confidence from our rulers?
The truth is we have no government. The
members of the Cabinet do not speak to each
other. Chase and Seward are open and malig-
nant enemies The revelation Of the corruption
and profigacy in the custom house and Treas
ury Department are made at the instigation of
Seward, Chase commenced the warfare by
procuring from the Republicans of the Senate
a vote of want of confidence in Seward The
Postmaster General, Blair, openly denounces
the Secretary of the Treasury as 'ta vilain."-
Welles and Stanton ridicule and thwart each
other The spiteful HAieck NEEDLES with all
plans only to disarrange them. The Senate
hates the Cabinet and the House sets itself up
in opposition to the Senate. Both are torn by
factions and intrigues; and all departments of
this warning Government are undermined by
corroding corruption.
The war is three years old, and we have not
yet tax system, a finance system, or conscript
system. The tax is inadequate, and each week
changes; the financial system, if it is ever per-
tected, Is to begin only next January; and the
conscript system levies money and not men.
Our ablest Generals are dismissed at the very
moment they are most wanted But a few days
ago, Gems. Keyes and Franklin, two of our
best commanders, were ordered out of the SER
vice by President Lincoln: and the demagogue
Tribune was permitted to boast that "the army
was purged of McClellanism."
The qualification of personal hate and politi-
cal jealousy and the sordid pursuit of gain are
the sentiments which rule at Washington. We
have no other government.
Soon the people viii demand one! The ques-
ton that is soon to come up is not whether
some miserable ambition of place and greed of
gain is to be gratifed, or whether feeble cabal
that sacrifices the country to its selfiishness is
to be perpetuated, but whether we are to have
government such as will truly represent a
great people in this great sis.-ABany argus

The RIGHT SORT OF REIIGIoN-Some ono
whose head is usually 'sevel,' has written out
his religion as follows. 1t will do to read and
think about:
We want a religion that goes into the fam
lily, and keeps the husband from being spiteful
when the dinner is late; keeps the wife from
being frettul when the husband tracks the new
ly washed floor with his muddy boots and makes
the husband mindful of the scraper and door
mat amuSes the children as well as instracts
them; wins as we'll as governs them; projects
the honeymoon into the harvest moon, and makes
the happy hours like the Eastern fig-tree, bear
ing IN It's bosom at once the beauty of the ten
der blossom and the glory of the ripened fruit:
We want & religion that bears not only on the
siniulness of sin but on the rascality of lying
and stealing a religion that banishes all small
measures from the counters, small baskets from
the stalls, pebbles from the cotton bags, clay
from paper, sand from sugar, chickory from cof-
fee, beet-root from vinegar, alum from bread.
lard from butter, strychnine from wine, and
water from milk cups.
The religion that is to advance the world will
not put all big strawberries at the top and all
the bad ones at the bottom. Il will not offer
more baskets of foreign wines than the vineyards
ever produced bottles.
The religion that is to sanctify the world pays
It's debts It does not consider forty cents re-
turned for one hundred given, is according to
gospel, though it is according to law. 1t looks
on man who has failed in trade and who
continues to live inluxury, as thief. It looks
on a man who promises to pay fifty dollars on
demand with interest, and who neglects to pay
it on demand, with or without interest, as a

In preparing tho ADDED, select a
piece of fine, warm, dry land, having q
good exposure to the sun as possible,
and if no! protected by building, tight
board tense should be erected on the
north and west sides, to keep off tho cold
winds. In the fall, at least 20 bushels Of
manure 10 the square rod should be
thoroughly dug or plowed in; and in the
spring, as soon as the Gnow is off, apply
another dressing Of fine manure and
ashes, or SOW ashes at the rate Of three
fourths Of bushel to the rod; and two
weeks before sowing the seed apply 10
or lspounds of fine guaOo TO the rod,
raking itin thoroughly. If just before
a rain, all the better.
When preparing the bed for tie re-.
ception of the seed, it should be made as
fine as possible by raking, rolling, or

the seed is usually sprouted by placing
it in cloth between two moist sods, for

cullivaiors are in the habit of giving the
bed slight raking, so that the portion
of the seed raked in will not come up SO
soon, thus giving supply of lato plants,
or allowing them to be dug from tho
same bed longer than if all ca ne up a.

Alter finishing the sowing the see d is

four or six pailfuls per day to a rod
square. Every other day is often enough
at first, but as the plants increase in size,
increase the frequency of applications.

Portrait Of General Early .

Old Jubal Early, or, as General Lee calls
him, his "bad old man" has won a name
during his sojourn in the Valley Of Virgiuis
of which he is Well worthy. Did you ever
see him? Ii not, you have missed one Of
the greatest curiosities Of the war. be Is
man of considerable corpulence, With all
face, which has the appearance OF the full
moon when it is at its height, In redness.
He is about six eet high. and OF immense
structure. His voice sounds like q cracked
Chinese fiddle, and comes from his mouth
somewhat in the style OF the hardshell Bap'
tst, with o long drawl, accompanied by
IN Interpolation Of oaths. In winter his
head is encased in q net striped woollcu
skull cap, drawn about his ears, while his
body is contained within the embraces Of ,
Virginia cloth overcoat, striking his heels.
His legs are covered BY leggings OF the same
material, wrapped from the feet upwards,
as high as the knees, with white tape. He
is as brave as he is homely, and a. ho,aely
as any man you ever saw, except Psrson
Brownlow, who is said to rival his Satanic
majesty in personal appearance. There are
many incidents related Of Old Jubal, but l
can at present call to memory bnt one.
During the battles in the Wilderness, on
one occasion regiment from South Caro-
lima was ordered to charge the enemy.
For some reason they faltered. Old Jubal,
hearing of it, rode up to the head Of the
column, and, in that pecUliarity Of tone for
which he was noted, cried out, Blast you,
you got us into this id scraPe, and, BY
God Won shall help us out" The regi.
ment was so cut by this remark that they
rushed upon the foe, driving him from every
position. Griffin ga. Rebel. .
