TuE BEST WAY TO PREsEsvR UAY.-We
heard this morning of n method OF stacking
hay which commends itself to our mdg.
ment as the pest plan for preserving hay
that we have ever heard of. Ii was a plan
adopted 10y a man who always had good
hay and fat cattle in the spring. The fol.
lowing is q description of the plan:
Take a number of poles from ten to twenty
feet long, according to tho proposed hight
OF the stack, set the poles around crcum.
ference of circlehv OF six feet N diameter
and fasten the tops togolher with rones;
then stack the hay around the poles aud
over the top of them, This plan secures
air in the center of the stack aud prevents
it from heating. With this chamber of air
in the center OF tie stack The hay may be
put up quite green without any risk oI
moulding, Unless the stack is very large
and the hay very damp il cannot heat.

SETTING FENcE Posrs.-Whero it is necea
sary to set wooden posts. il will Toe found
lhat their durability will DO greatly promo.
ted by slight oharrng or carbouizms the
surface before inserting them in the soil.
There are few substances more indostruct,
ible than charcoal when buried beneath the
surface and kept constantly in contact with
moist soil, OF soil that is constantly wet.
We have socn posts thus protected taken
from the soil after having stood upwards
of thirty years, in perfectly sound condition,
no far as rot was concerned, below the sur.
face, while tho npper part, which had been
exposed to the atmosphere, was in state
OF complete decay. The cost of charrng
is but trae and may be elected by means
of chips brush or refuse mattec Of any kind
A very light charring Will be su0i,ieut to
insure the preservation of most kinds of
wood, whether hard or soft Smkes are
also equally benefited by this process.

1t is impossible to foreknow whether,
when ''reconstruction" is consummated,
there will be any Southern issues with the
Administration, and, if SO, what La other
words, 1t Is impossible to say whether the
old Democratic party of the South is or is
not capable of being revived or whether
any opposition party can, for years to come
find tenable foothold there Everything
south of Manson and DIXON S is in an anoma-
lous condition, transitional state; and it is
in vain to try to define the shapes into which
its political elements will finally resolve
themselves
What is left of the old Democratic party
must go staggering on, oppressed with the
disgrace OF Its recreancy In the war, and
helplessy trusting to luck for something to
better its fortunes Whether it Will abso-
lutely sink and cease to exist we do not un-
dertake to say But it is very certain
that, with is present elements, it can can
never get strength enough to re-acquire the
rule of the country. In the present
stage of the nation, it is morally impossible
for any party to get power in it that has not
an indomitable national spirit Here the
American people will not tolerate faintness
Infinitely less faithlessness.

ARREST OF AMERICANS IN IRELAND w e
trust that our Government has resented prop
erly, the unwarrantable arrests OF Americans
in Ireland upon the suspicion of being Fe-
mans The mere possession of a revolver is
accepted by the British government as con
elusive proof that a man as a Fenian; but
people who are not so easily scared at trifes
as the members of that government appear
to be, will hardly regard the proof as sufii-
cient to warrant even a suspicion. The
United States Government owes it to Its cit
liens who are called to travel abroad to pro-
tect them against unwarrantable arrests and
seizures and perhaps few words ofcaution
from Mr. ADAMS might save the English
authorities from cutting so ridiculous tlg-
ure as they now do.

That 10000 freedmen would perish this
Winter OF starvation, if not relieved, Is not
the least remarkable statement of those
who have been recent observers at the
South~. We are not entirely surprised to
know that in South Carolina and Georgia
only very small minority are willing to
treat the blacks to pittance of ordinary
fairness. The real picture Of affairs is pain
fully suggested by this statement. SO far,
the blacks seem to be the victims but our
travellers have not told half the story. This
destitution on one side cannot be without
a correspondence on the other, if we reck-
ON from tie old social and industrial balance
at the South. The white Southerner who
kicks labor away from another person land,
and sends it out TO pasture upon nothing, Is
in fair way Of starving himself. Rough
riders, who still keep small standing army
at the planters expense TO waylay anu shoot
down negro soldiers and freedmen, are tak-
ing great pains to make famine sure thing
ali round. Rather put out the embers OF
the feud, drop the outlaws, protect the
freedmen. and let common-sense and plenty
have chance and room to grow. We can
nred;ct that for every black man starved
bv the pro famine and pro-Slavery combina-
tions of the South, white men viii suffer in
much the same way and proportion.

GOING TO SLEEP.

The light is fading down the sky,
The shadows grow and multiply,
/ hear the thrushes' evening song
But l have borne with toll and wrong
So long, so long
Dim dreams my drOwsy senses drown;
So darling, kiss my eyelids down,
My life's brief spring went wasted by;
My summer ended fruitlessly
l learned TO hunger, strive and wait;
found you, love oh, happy fate
So late, so late
Now all my fields are turning brown;
So darling kiss my eyelids down
Oh, blessed sleep oh, perfect rest !!
Thus pillowed on your faithful breast;
Nor life nor death is wholly drear,
o tender heart, since you are here,
So dear, SO dear
Sweet love, my souls sufficient crown.
Now, darling, kiss my eyelids down

War Between Spain and Chill.

The Government of Spain has been en-
boldened by Its Su, cess III Peru to fall upon
another Republic of South America. On
the 18th of September the eve of the an
niversary of the Chilian independence, the
Spanish Admiral Pareja appeared in Falpa-
raiz0 harbor, and sent in notification that
the former explanations and apologies offer
ed by Chill to Spain, and which the Span
ish Minister in Chill, Senior Tavila, had de-
clared perfectly satisfactory, had been repu-
dated In Madrid, and that he, Pareia, had
been invested with full powers to adjust the
questiors pending He then stated the prin-
cipal points Of otfense, and demanded an i'm
mediate and satisfactory explanation and a
salute of 2l guns to the Spanish flag, or he
would at once break off all diplomatic rela-
tions. The Government of Chill refusing to
accede to this demand, Pareja sent an ulti
matum, to which the CHILEAN Congress re
Piled by unanimously passinga declaration
of war
Chill has thus far been the most flourish
ing of all the South American Republics,
49,. she is undoubtedly able to make more
s;gor9us resistance to the Spanish attacks
than Peru Still, the great losses which d
blockade OF all her ports, and the Temporal
ry destruction of her commerce must neces-
sarily involve, will put her on severe trial.
Aid from other South American States can
not, at present. be expected; and it will re-
quire an amount of endurance not generally
met with in the South American States to
bring this war to more satisfactory issue
than that between Spain and Peru

burg ConsmerciaI is of the opinion that the
'Iyleriztag' of Andrew johnson has been
postponed indefinitely The idea and hope
existed only with the Democrats and some
few ridiculously rac,ical papers, which made
up by virulence what they lacked in truth
If we mistake not, the time has passed when
Mr.. johnson would have his back quite
turned on the party that elected him, and
himself in full communion with the Democ-

stead of the President loosing hims lfin
such vortex, the Democratic party has
gone out ofsight, with the smallest chance
