No PEACE VET.
J.B.H H..

The Rebels cannot complain of a want Of
condescension on the part Of the President Of
the United States. They cannot allege un-
willingness to meet their representatives in
formally and listen to their Propositions
They have wit messed degree of condescension
which they will find it difficult to PARALLEL
They can bear testimony to an amount
of iorbearance and indulgence which they,
at least, have failed TO exercise. Whatever
may be said Of the reasons which actuated
Mr.. Lincoln in taking this extraordinary
step, either so far as they are conjectural or
so far as they are known, it cannot be said, as
was once alleged, that he barred the door in
Mr.. Stephens face. But while be thus mani

basis than that which had been rigidly pre-
scribed. Those terms were Rs well under

tne slightest deviation from the strict line of

Watering Window Plants.

Miss Mailing, the authoress Of Flowers for
Window Gardens 10 Town aud Country" thus
writes There is one universal law as to
watering plants which q great many people
entirely neglect. The neglect OF this one rule
causes more blight and mors unhealthy plants
than perhaps any single ihiog that can be
named besides. mean the excellent rule Of
watering them with warm water always ratb
er warmer than the soil the plants are growing
ia. People must surely see the check and in
jury it must be to plauts always to get cold
TODD. The organs of tender plants are extrsmlS u
ly delicate; and when they are wanted to parS-
lyze them with cold. II we feed them, on the
other hand, with food little warm, they are
stimulated at once to make the most Of their
meal. Another important branch Of the was
tering question consists in the washing that all
house plants require. Budding Neis'.

GRIOULTU R A l..
Maple Sugar.

maple 0uBars
There is more than usual profit to be ex-
pected from sugar making this year. The
Sorghum growers have realized very hand
somely for the crop so far as we have learned,
except in a few isolated cases of failure from
late crops or early frost, aud the letters of in
quiry we receive indicate an interest on the
part Of the owners of sugar trees, which will
probably result in securing very large crop
of maple sugar. The sap of trees grown up
on different soils and exposure, is found to vary
considerably in the quantity of sugar il con-
tains, and in earthly impurities also. These
impurities are not Of much Importance. They
are salts of lime and magnesia for the most
part. Besides, the sap contains some album
inous substances, part of which is eoaguIated
by the boiling, and may be SKINNED off from
the boiling syrup after it becomes considerably
concentrated, and another portion with some
earthly salts may be removed by straining
Through flannel before "sugaring off," When
the sap yields much scum and is seen to be i'm.
pure, it is usually clarified by the addition of a
few eggs beaten together with milk, and stirred
into it, all of which is subsequently removed
by skimming. Tin or wooden sap-troughs,
buckets and spOuts, or @spiIes" ought to be
prepared during the present month. A good
evapOratOr is made by riVeting together two
or three pieces of Russia sheet iron, turning
up the edges so as to make large fat PAN
This must be level, supported By bars of iron,
to prevent # from sagging and Warping.-
Some of the evaporators invented for making
Sorghum syrup have been used we learn, with
very good success. They certainly are well
adapted to the purpose.-Amsrican Agrieul-
tlErist.

The GOVERNING GLASSES IN ENGLAND.

ProI. Goodwin Smith has written letter in
reply to some American criticism on the poll
cy of Eugland With regard to the alleged
hostility of the English governing classes to-
ward our country he says:
That the members of our aristocracy and
hierarchy animated by an inevitable anti
pathy to American istitutions, and that this
anlipathy has broken out on the present occa-
sion is an undeniable fact, aud one which |
have never attempted to conceal. But the
governing class, in the only practicable and
relevant sense, is that which decides the con
duct of the nation. Repeated propositions
have been made by fanatical supporters of
the rebellion, with the French Emperor at
their back, for hostile intervention and upon
all these propositions the governing class" in
the effective sense of the term, has put an
emphatic veto.

HUNTSVILLE, ALA. Jan. 3Ist, '65.
DEAR GAzErTE:-On gentle slope at the
base of cedar-crowned mountains and in sight
of the beautiful southern town of Huntsville,
our regiment is in winter quarters at last. af-
ter nine months Of almost constant campaign
ing. We are hardly encamped ere the grass
grows green TO hail the coming spring. Be-
fore many weeks we shall probably strike tents
and march for the gulf. One more campaign q
and we hope to mingle our congratulations
with friends at home over an honorable peace.
This regiment has recently lost one of its
most valuable officers, Lieut.. r. H. Hum.
phreys from your town who on receip: of a
telegram informing him of the death OF his
mother. was Immediately mustered out OF the
service and is with you ere this. The Lienten-
ant entered the service April 10th, 1861, and
was mustered ont Jan. 10th 1865, having SER
we'd three years and niue months; one year as
a private, thres months AS QuarteTmaster-
Sergeant aud the remainder of his time as q
commissioned officer He served nearly three
years in the QuartermasieE Department, at
last as Chief Quartermaster Of the Cavalry
Command Of the Department OF the Ohio on
Gen. StOnemans staff. After Gen. StOnemans
capture, with the remainder of his staff be
was relieved, and Immediately appointed Com
missary of this Brigade; which post he held
with good credit TO himself uRtil be left. The
army has lost many many officers Of higher
rank but none more faithful and energetic
May his success in civil pursuits be none the
less than in the tented Geld.

Water for Sheep.

There are some farmers, says the Geneses
Farmer, who entertain the opinion that sheep
do not need water 10 wiuter. Others think it
the sheep ueed any water. they ean satisfy
their thirst by eating snow! That sheep need
water there eau 0e no doubt In Mr.. LAwes's
recent experiments, the sheep were allowed ag
the water they wanted, and those ted on hay
alone drank, from February 22nd to March
22nd, on an average, 33 pounds of water per
head per week. The next month they drank
40 pounds each per week; the next month asa
pounds; the next month, 1914 ponndsi aAd
during the whole period of seven months each
sheep drank on an average, 4Ot4 pounds per

HOPE.
FROM THE SPANISH.

In lowliest hut, on haughtiest throne,
Hope nerves the soui-Hope cheers on
The hind, with rude tolls bent and worn,
Vt dares the raw and scOwling morn,
The uncertain hours 'twixt dark and light,
While hoar frost on his beard is white
For brightens to his hopeful eye
The balmy blue oil summers sky,
And song birds greet HIM with their notes,
And warmth and plenty bless his cot.
The farmer, while he drives h is plow,
When keen November's rough winds blow,
Hears the rich autumn's golden grain
Rustic around the reaper train,
And hopes to bask in June's sunshine,
And pluck the ripe grapes from the vine.
In heaIthfuI sports on village green,
Behold that youth Of ruddy mein;
Ambitions dazzling day-dreams never
viii tear him from his native river,
That sends its bright and friendly waves
To murmur peace by his fathers graves
Or from that vale whose rudest noise
Is but the elm-tree's breezy voice.
But, no he scorns loves soothing hymn,
Cases in steel each daring limb,
And hastes where death-shots hiss and jar,
And braves the iron sleet Of war,
Hoping his now unheard-ofname
Shall brighten with deathless fame.
One on a fragile plank confides,
Where plash and struggle hostile tides,
And seas, with fierce incCnstancy,
Mix foaming waves with darlening sky;
Another hides him in the mine,
In whose damp glooms no day-beams shine.
'Tis Hope that gives thu bright tales birth,
That lure o'er seas and meath the earth.
Thus each pursuit that stirs the breast
OF triumph tells, or days OF rest,
And keeps US toihng at the oar
With visions of peaceful shore;
And when at last the grave Is given,
Hope, kneeling thereon, points TO heaven !

SORROW.

Nearly all sorrow, while it lasts, depresses
action, destroys hope, and crushes energy; it
renders the sensitive more acute, sympathies
more geninl and the whole character less sell
nature, but for the occasional season OF
drought, the best lands would soon degenerate;
these seasons cause the land to suck up from
the currents beneath, with the moisture, all
those mineral manures that restore and fertiI-
ize the character and develop from the deep
fountains OF the human heart joy and fruit
fulness not otherwise attainable.

Clearing of and settling up a country,
speaking technically, do change the eli

Now, with our many smoky mills, we
may expect occasional showers, all
through the summer. Ordinarily, hereto
fore, it has been the case that the simplest
fare has gone with rough pioneer life in
other respects, and that gradually posi-
tive comforts and luxuries have been in
trodueed. Not so with US. The popula-
ton of these adjoining towns rioted on
richer dinners-on the average and pro-
portion--one, two and three years ago,
than now. Moderation is now the orde,
Of speculation and pot-luck. 1mbibing is
relatively about the same, including the
popular devotion to malt liquors, as thas
been for three years last past; and the
ground not yet appropriated for a lager
beer brewery is daily growing-smallsr'
Mining secretaryships are worth about
one-twentieth Of what "they used to
was :" and the chances for pickings and
stealings are said to be correspondingly
reduced. Still many young men wear
good store clothes, and don't do much Of
anything. Rates of interest remain the
same, and the bankers are gathering the
best of the harvest, as usual. A brick
house is being constructed at the corner

LABoRs.

The exclusiveness of our product is the
substantial drawback to our prosperity.
If ours was a fertile surface soil, or if the
wooded region were close around about
US, all would be essentially and largely
different. 1t will be the province Of q
railroad more peculiarly with US than with
any others whom we know to diversity
the character of labor in our midst, and
consequently to vastly increase the aggre-
gate of industry here. The legitimate
staple business of the country will be then
quadrupled, and along with it and beside
it will be an attendance of toll in other
pursuits that will be of extent and variety
mcalculable from present data. There is
a creation of manufactures growing out Of
the association of many peoples in COM
munities that have the procurable facili-
ties for multiplying the trades and trafics
within the limits Of the neighborhood.
One class of service naturally begets an
other in the immediate precinct, provided
it is feasible to practice a tributary art in
adjoining rooms. Given plenty Of wood
and water in a rich mining region,
and abundant foundry and similar sup
plies will be furnished at your doors. A
good soil in the neighborhood will soon
be cultivated to the production of all the
luxuries of the earth, of green herb and
fruit. Lacking these requirements for
comfort, and, in fact, home civilization,
the only remedy or amelioration is through
rapid communication with parts Of the
land that will afford the proper adjuncts
of the main labor. Then it will happen
that the raw and the manufactured arti-
cles, not indigenous of product or cul-
tare, will come here for refining or com.
pounding, o. the market will be literally
and busily supplied with "all things"

The PIuTRs.-The Piute Indians, under
the leadership of Chief Brown, are GER
tainly becoming a progressive race. For
instance, the war-moyements of the tribe
are regularly chronicled in the daily
papers! Captain. or Chief Brown, calls
upon US regularly every week-(we no
tice he extends the same courtesy to the
press of Virginia, Dayton and Carson)--
and keeps US advised as to the Estate Of
the country" that is to say, the condi-
ton and progress made by the untutored
Indian. We ore indebted to Chief Brown
for the following highly interesting devel-
opments: On Saturday last, a large con-
course Of Indians Of the Pluto tribe
assembled in council at Dayton Cor one
of the beautiful groves of timber in that
neighborhood), and resolved themselves
into Committee of the Whole on the state
of the country. A project of a Republi-
can form of Government was fully dis
cussed by the various learned chiefs,
captains, lieutenants, senator's and repre-
sentatives; and q vote being taken upon
the question, q declaration Of rights was
concluded upon, and a President and a
Vice President, of all the Indian tribes Of
Nevada, California, Oregon and Wash
ington, is to be chosen! Chief Brown is
our authority for this statement, and we
believe it is SO. The new arrangement,
however, is not to interfere with the Fed
eral Government. On the contrary, it is
to cooperate with i" in oil that pertains
to the raising of the red men from the
position Of sayages to that Of responsible
and useful men in community. We wish
the poor Indians succesS-as we wish the
pool black man of the South success in
raising himself from a position of slavery
and darkness to one of more honor, credit
and usefulness.
