To Messrs. Sumner and Stevens.

lfyou two great Head Centres OF
radical Republicanism in Congress can
draw any comfort from a contemplation
OF the results of your political course for
four months past, you are welcome to
use the following.
You have consumed time, to bc paid
for out OF the public treasury, in vent.
ing your spleen upon eight out of thirty
of the population of the Union, by d.
recting all your influence to confer
doubtful privilege upon four. You have
kept the Government warning against
the South twelve months after the
South had ceased to fight. You have
checked the wise and noble policy of the
President to restore the Southern States
to their original status. You have fas-
tened upon the South an institution
called the Freedman's Bureau, which
has done more to estrange the two races
South than all the evils Of slavery COM
bined-ten thousand times more. You
have clearly shown that yonr aim is not
so much to elevate the black man as it
is to disgrace the white. You have
crippled the energies of the,South, and
cramped the expansion of Northern
capital to an extent that defes all
computation. Youare filing the South
with political gangrene that bids fair
to. prove an incurable cancer on the body
polite. You are hurling the country.
on with railroad speed to condition Of
distraction and turmoil, anarchy and ruin
that will rival Pandemonium ITSELF In
short, SO far as your position and influ.
ence so, yon show yourselves the aptest
scholars of the Prince Of the power Of
the air, who perverts the affairs Of men.

ed. And again there is no crop but
what leaves some compensation for the
virtue of the soil distracted By its
removal. But some crops leave more,
some less. Hence this theory which is
confirmed by fact supports the advo.'
Gates of rotation. 1t also teaches the
economy of adopting such a system of
rotation as shall retard to the greatest
extent the deterioration of the land.
From this we learn that it is all impor.
tant to tn" farmer to alternate his crops,
or rotate them, in such a manner that
restoring crops shall succeed exhausting
crops.
BY restoring" and "exhausting"
crops, We do not mean those which take
less or more from the strength of the
soil, bnt those which by more or lcss
work required thereby compensate for
their abstraction from tue soil by allow.

ter.
Agriculturalists may differ as to the
system Of rotation, but there can be no
doubt that in every system the most ex.
haustive crops should be removed as far
as possible from each other. 1t would
appear that in this section the most
profitable rotation would be, |. Corn.
2. Cotton. 3. Peas. 4. Wheat or
oats. 5. Then corn again, &c..
Without going into discussion of the
merits Of the above system of rotation,
We submit the following points.
/. Rotation is beneficial because it
retards exhaustion ofland.
2. Rotation rather preserves the fei.
tility ofland, than improves it.
3. That system of rotation is best
which allows the longest interval be.

How dOes Rotation OF Crops Improve Land.
Although it is said that rotation Of
crops improves lanl, yet we doubt
whether it does improve 1t is more
likely that such a system preserves the
productive qualites1of the soil, but we
very much question the Improvement.
Granting however that aruble land is
improved by rotation, the question
arises, how does it do it +? AS corn and
cotton are the great staple products of
this section, they will serve our purpos.
es best for illustration.
Suppose field cleared and ready for
the corn. OF course the surface is free
from ali vegetation The seed are
dropped and soon the plants make their
appearance. Now begins the work,
which continues until the crop is "laid
BY" The growing corn has been kept
clean of all grass, which prevented the
soil receiving as much from decaying
vegetable matter as it was giving to the
corn, And therefore the crop and the
soil stood in the relation Of creditor and
debtor-the corn being the latter.
Up to the time Of the "laying by"
the soil has produced nothing but what
has to be removed. From that time
however there begins to accumulate
some compensation for the heavy
draughts upon the fertility of mother
earth. The grass which then springs
up is allowed, though not always, to re.
nam in the field, decay and fall back
into the soil TO reinv;gorate in some
measure its wasted strength. Finally
the GRIP IS gathered and the fieii1 Is left
to itself. lfnow by the next planting
season no deterioration Of that soil has
taken place, 1t matters little whether
different crop be planted or NOT. But a
change has taken place, and it is for the
worse. Aad that change may be theo
resically expressed thus Tie present
fertility Of the soil is equal to the differ.
ence beteoeen its original and its restored
fertility. For example, the original
fertility of the field was 10, the restored
fertility 2. Hence l0--2 equal to would
give the present equal IS. Or the for.
mula p equal to Or. Evidently now
there is no chance to make as good a corn
crop the second year as the first. (Itis
assumed that there is no manure used
which is nearly the rule in practice.)
According to this theory it is clear that
the same soil by a repeated culture of
the same crop would eventually be.
come worthless as far as that particular
product Is concerned. And facts here
accord with theory.
But instead Of repeating the culture
OF corn on this soil, it is planted with
cotton. 'The same system of keeping
down the grass is adopted this second
year, only it is carried to a greater OK
tent. a judicious cotton planter knows
the Importance Of keeping clean field
ofcotton. This plant elories in the
sunshine, and is very susceptible of any
thing like outside pressure. Nor does
the "laying BY come as soon as with
corn. No body objects to the tall grass
around the taller corn stalks, but wo to
the grass that tries to overtop the cot.

knows what's what. That invader
is fought bitterly until the time comes

The New Orleans Times gives its
readers a few words of advice, in
double loaded article, in which it urges
renewed attention to business, and the
assumption of position of " mastery
inactivity" in reference to politics. 1t
says:
alt is extremely unwise for our peo-
pie to permit political kilograms from
Washington to depress their spirits or
affect their business.
"The practical enforcement OF ex-
IRENE Radical doctrines will be VIC
lation of our acknowledged rights as
American citizens, and extremely re-
voting to our pride, but we must re
member that we are at the mercy OF a
sectional majority, and it is nonsense
cal to be over-sensitive on nice dis
tinctions of statecraft, so long as oul
industrial and commercial interests are
not materially affected by oppresslyf
legislation At any rate, it is not only
silly but suicidal to borrow trouble by
anticipation-to get frightened a
shadows which may never visit us IL

DOGS AND Drums When the war in
Italy commenced, the Zouaves embarked
for. Genoa but ashley were going on board
the ship they saw formal order forbidding
the entrance of all dogs upon the vessel
As they were very much attached to their
dogs they were stricken with grief. 1t was
not easy to deceive the sharp lookout kept
by the intendent, for every soldier adyan-

of the regiment were concealed in the
drums which were screwed up again

no sign Of dog anywhere and yet, the
more the drummers beat the more the dogs

up and took to his heels bowling louder
than ever. Roars Of laughter greeted this
explanation of the mysterious howls. The
attendants ordered the drummers to ad-

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE VALLEY:
| We wish at once to push forward the Line
of Railroad which is to connect the Potomac
with the Virginia and Tennessee Road. To
do this, we need to have Stock taken in the
Valley to the extent of
ONE MILLION or DOLLARS.
This we propose to have done on the follow
ing terms: Two per cent. of the amount sub
scribed, to be paid in so soon as called for:
thirteen per cent. additional, to be paid within
the next three years; the remaining eighty
five per cent, to be paid within the next ten
years.
Ii this amount of Stock be promptly taken
on these easy terms we can effect negotiations,
which will enable us to have its remainder
taken abroad, and which will enable us at the
same time to raise the money for the Stock
taken at home upon the Bonds of the Conn
pany, payable in ten years.
1t IS unnecessary to say anything in regard
to the vital Importance of this great work,
Every property holder within reach Of the
Road appreciates it.
1t may be proper to state, however, thas
circumstances are more favorable now to the
construction of this work than ever before,
or probably than they will be hereafter. We,
have already secureda,
COMPETENT CORPS OF ENGINEERS
to locate the Road from Harrisonburg to- Sa--
lem. They will commence operations early i'm.
May. Let our people aid, IN earnest, and we.
can promise them the speedy completion Of an
improvement which will do more than any
other in contemplation for the advancement Of
our interests. The Commissioners in each
county will open Books of Subscription at
once and are earnestly desired to have the
Stock subscribed promptly.
