In passing over the route, on our trip on the
City Passenger Railway cars last week, We we're
somewhat astonished to find that there are 80
many places in the Second Ward, where spirit
tOus liquors and lager beer are vended. Upon
examination | ascertain that there are about
forty houses in this little Ward, where whiskey
and lager are openly disposed Of, besides goodly
number where rum is dealt out to blear-eyed, bep
sotied customers olAndestiuely. The idea sug-
gested itself to us, that their is a wide margin
for improvement in this particular. If the other
Wards are cursed with SO large a number of
these sinks of corruption it affords an explana-
our midst and great laxity in public morals,
that determined effort is not made to rid the
community OF this stupendous evil. On every
side-at all hours Of the night and day-the
peace and quiet of sober, industrious citizens is
interfered with by hslf-c crazed nebriates from
the bar room and tap shop. 0urpolice reports ex-
hibit the startling fact that nine-tenths OF the ar
rests made are for ntoxcation, or crimes commit
ted while the culprt is under the influence Of the
soul destroying dregs drank from the maddening
bowl. We trust that the moral, christian part
of the community will arouse to a sense Of the
imminent danger that surrounds US, and lend
their energies to stay the tide Of misery and
vice which is flowing on with such fearful ra-
pidty. and will ere long render our city pan
dem onum Of drunkenness and crime.

SPAWN in Horses. Blood SPAWN

The hook is plcDtfully furnished with
mucous bag, to lubricate make slppery)
the different portions Of this complicated
Joint. Some of these are iound on the 10.
side of the joint. From over.exertiou Of
the join; they become iuGamed and cou-
sidersbly enlarged They are wind CALLS
of the hook. The sIb-cutaneous VEN
passes over The iu.ide Of the hook and
over some Of these enlarged bagS, and is
compressed between lhe skin and eularg-
ed bag, and consequently the passage of
the blood through it is partially stopped.
The blood, however, continues to te re-
turned from the leg and foot, and being
thus arrested iuits course, portion Of the
vein below the impediment and between it
and the next valve is disiended and causes
the soft tumor on the inside Of the hook
called blood spawn. Bone SPAWN, still
,aole formidable disease, ranks under the
name of SPAWN, and is an affection Of the
bone Of the hook. 1t is not unusual to
see whole cams ofhorscF, and that all the
year arouud, with the outer hell of the
hind foot considerably raised above the
other. This unequal bearing, or distribu-
tou Of the weight, cannot fail OF being in
juri US. Il will place an unequal strain
on the liganerts of the joints, aud partic
ularly of the hook joint, and increase the
tendency to spawn. The weight and con-
cussion which are thus thrown on the in.
ner spliut bone produce, in the fret place,
inflammation of the cartilagnous substance
which unites it TO the shank bone. The
consequence of THE is that the cartilage is
disturbed and bone deposited the union
between the splint bone and the shank be-
comes bony instead Of cartilaginous the
degree of elastic action between them is
destroyed, and there is formed splint of
the bind leg, This is uniformly on the
inside OF the hind leg, because the great.
er weight and concussion are thrown on
the inner splint bone. AS in the forleg,

Management of Gardens in No
vember.

NGuADcNs
By proper management in gardens this
fall, great deal OF labor may be avoided
next spring aud summer Many people uu.
derstand the eminent Importance OF doing
all that cen be performed in their gardens
in late autumn, just before the ground
freezes. This is more particularly true Of
those gaadens where the soil is what 10
termed "heavy soil" We will mention
briefly certain thing, which, If attended to
before winter, will greatly improve the
productveness of garden next season, for
raising either fruit or vegetables.
The first requisite in rendering garden
productive is, through drainage. What
ever the soil may be, if there is an excess
ofwater, manure applied in great abun-
dance and the most through cultivation
cannot secure abundant crops. Strawberry
beds cannot yield half crop Of fruit,
when the ground is at all inclined to be
wet, il will be cold until the hot weather
has dried up the superabundant moisture,
and then the ground will bake and appear
more like barren earth than like fertile
soil.
Another thing to be attended to is, 10
collect every weed before the seeds have
fallen to the ground This may be done
Immediately after a shower. Instead of
throwing such things in the highway, put
them in close heap near one corner Of
The garden, where they will all decay,
mex, season making fine mould which may
be spread on those portions of the garden
that appear hard and lumpy. This man.
ner of dispospg Of weeds, the seeds of
which have matured, will be found pref.
terrible to putting them in a compost heap,
as the seeds will all germinato next sea-
son, and die, giving little or no trouble I,
whereas in compost heap ther is seldom
the proper amount of moisture, and the
right degree of heat, at the same time to
cause termination.
Another thing to be performed in gar
den, where soil is not OF very light,
mu,ky, or sandy character, is through
plowiug or spading. Where there is
room for team the plough should be ad
justed to cut narrow and deap furrovs in
order to effect the most thorough pulveri-
cation. 1.-THE ground is spaded, it is bet
ter to cut thin courses, driving the spade
deep, than to take what is termed "wide
through which will not .puivcrize the
heavy soil SO completely as if the spade
were not to cut so wide.
If the ground is not sufficiently fertile
let dressing Of manure be spaded or
ploughed in. When coarse stable or
barnyard manure is used, it is better to
pick it TO small pieces with forks, and
cover it with more or less earth than to
ALLOW it to remain on the surface during
ahe winter,

RICHMOND WING SUPPRESSED.

On the llth instant W. M. ELLIOTT and J.
G. SHIELDS announced in the columns of the
Richmond Whig that they had on that day
resumed their position of conductors of the
business OF the paper, and that Mr.. RoBERr
RDGEwAY had also returned to the editorial
management of the Wing. Mr.. RrDGEwAr
followed in " salutatory,' to which his sig
nature was attached, and in which, after ex-
pntiating upon bis efforts to prevent Virginia
from seeding, and upon the ruin which Sc
cession had wrought upon the South, ETC.,
he uses the following unseemy and outra.
geous language in reference to the law of
confscation passed by Congress and the 18th
exception clause Of President JoHSsoS's S am.
nesty proclamation:
am equally opposed to the mean, brutal, aud
cotoardiy policy ol condsedti9n. The possession
OF property, whether little or much, Is not a
crime, nor Is 1t recognized Us such In any code,
written or unwritten, OF any nation, civilized or
savage, On the face Of the earth And let not
''the best government the world ever saw max O
itself the worst and the most despicable by the
adoption Of a policy which seeks TO determine
and measure the guilt OF an offender by the
of such policy IL equalled only by its dtrOciOUs
i,Jastfce; for the original, Are eating advocates
OF secession, so far at least as Virginia Is con
cerned, were generally men out at the elbows,
without "nigger" or dollar to their names
The men Of substance, for the most part, were men
OF peace, retiring in disposition, conservative In
political sentiment, opposed to all radiealisn,
agitation, and discOrd, and content, as their
fathers had been before them, to live as frccmeu
and equals, beneath the broad protecting folds of
n common Constitution and a common Union.
l indulge the confident hope, therefore, that
President johnson will not only restore to its
proper and Legitimate owners all property hero E
tofore declared forfeited, but will also, without
further hsrassing aud inj irious delay, expuncu
that hsatI.eafsh so 900 exception from his late
pfoelA nation, and thereby give to his fellow
citizens, North and south, the emphatic assur
ane6, now 80 essentially necessary to the speedy
and permanent restoration Of commercial inter-
course and harmonious relations between the
various sections Of the country, that justice, mod
Grafton, uberallty, and truly conciliatOry poli-
cy arc to characterize his ad inistratiOn Of the
Government and pefyade all his dealings with
the people Of Virginia and the South.
10 On the day when this appeared, Maj. Gen.
TERRY proceeded Immediately to silence the
} Wing by an order, which wo publish else
where, directing the Provost Marshal Gen
eral Of the department to "seize and hold in
his possession the office, presses, type and
j, other property belonging to the propriotOrs
Of said paper, and prevent thenceforward the
publication thereof"
So BOB RIp0EwAY has not made very fair
start in the newspaper line, and we presume
.hs will now devote himself exclusively to the
political canvass, he being n candidate for
Congress from his district.

The present ruling of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, in relation to the basis
on which Wholesale dealers should estimate
their license tax, cOntemplates that dealers
may estimate the amount of their sales for
the year to come, or that for which license
is taken, without reference to the exact sales
of the former year of license, and sthat the
amount Of tax shall be determined by that
estimate. If at the close of tho year it shall
appear in any case that the amount of actual
sales have exceeded the estimate, a re-assess-
mont will of course be made.

An Explanation from GEN. Sherman
He Denies Certain Language At.
tributed TO Him.

CINCINNATI, July 13.-At festival given
to Gems. Sherman and Cox, at Columbus,
yesterday, Gen. Sherman alluded to the
charge that while he was in command Of
Kentucky that he had demanded two hun
dred thousand men for the campaign. He
said the fact was that when he was visited by
Secretary Cameron he explained the difficulty.
of marching in Tennessee by divergent lines,
one to Nashville, and another to East Ten
nessee, with force largely outnumbered by
the rebel armies confronting him. On one Of
these he had but forty three hundred men to
meet IN opposing force Of eighteen thousand.
When asked by Secretary Cameron how
many men were needed, he replied: "For the
present campaign sixty thousand, and before
you can reduce the South to subsection, you
must have two hundred thousand" This.
statement was made in Secretary Cameron's
military family, and was afterwards pub
lshed in the Eastern papers in distorted
and incorrect form.
