Failure of the Conference Impending
War

Failure of the Conference-Impending
War.
We never encouraged a belief in the
notion that the Conference, which it was
proposed to hold in Paris, would have the
effect Of preventing the outbreak Of war
We, IN common with all lovers of reace
should have been delighted to see those
European Powers from whose action danger
was apprehended, in so reasonable q mood
as to Justify the hope that friendly arbitra-
ton would succeed; but as no symptoms of
concession were visible, we could not un-
derstand how a friendly adjustment of diff
fculties was to be brought about. Our own
country is not favOrablY situated to play an
effective part in negotiating with despotic
Powers. Our ruling class, both Whig and
Tory, is timidly Conservative, though with
important variations in sentiment and Opin-
ion; while the great bulk Of the people
would strongly depreciate any coercive
measures that were not justified by a strong
necessity, and that were not calculated to
aid the definite development of liberal ideas.

Internal Revenue RegUlations-The
Purchase and Sale of Stocks

The following, says the National lntelli-
gencer, has been issued from the Office Of
Internal Revenue, dated Washington, June
Z, 1866:
Special No. 80.
The attention 6f Assessors is directed to
the following letter. addressed to Assessor
Stewart, Of Baltimore.
A. f. ROLLINS, Commissioner.
SIR; Your letter Of the 9th May has been
received. In reply, l have only to say, that
under the regulations lately adopted by this
Office, gains derived from and losses incurred
by the purchase and sale Of stocks are re-
garded as gains and losses in business, and
without reference to the time during which
the stocks are held
Interests and dividends derived from stocks
are regarded as income derived from fixed
investments, without reference to the time
during which such stocks are held.
But when gains derived from the sales ol
stocks involve interest received or accrued
such gains may be regarded az derived from
business alone.
Salaries, except where specially provided
for by statute, are regarded as income from
/ business.
The value Of property used in business
less the amount Of insurance, may be deduc'
ted when lost from the gains and profits oi
/ business.
The fact that a person returns gam on
/ claims a loss upon the purchase and sale OF
/ stocks does not necessarily imply that he

Stolen Property in Private Parlors.

The New York Observer relates the case
of a citizen of Indiana, to whom his nephew
had forwarded two French vases and some
books, taken from the house of Colonel
Bird, of Baton Rouge, during the war. The
vases were beautiful, but it became more and
moro painful to the Indianian to look at
them. Said he:
a never wanted them; my wife never
wanted them; / felt like a thief every time
looked at themW
He set to work to find out the owner, and
through the aid of the Masonic society sue
ceeded To his offer to restore the vases,
Colonel Bird wrote a touching reply
"Yes, he wanted the vases and the books.
Ii was all that was left-the only link he
had to bind the past to the present. Send
them carefully; spare no expense. Such
was the tenor of his letter. And then his
thanks and expressions of regard for the
kindness and tenderness that prompted su ch
an act
Last week the vases and books were pack
ed, and are now on their way to Baton Rouge.
In view Of this circumstance, the Obser-
yer Justly remarks How many houses in
this fair land of ours have this wedge of
gold in them? How many are furnished
outright from the plumber of war? Some
know. If there is any who can sleep easy
under such load, he deserves pity" This
is well said, as it is we'll known that in many
parlors choice articles may be found that
were abstracted from Southern homes
during the war. Choice books, mantle or
naments, pictures, and in some cases rare
historical paintings, have been sent North
from cities in the far South. Elegant pri-
yate residences were despoiled Of all that
was dear as family mementoes. Even pianos
and sets of china were boxed up and sent of
as war trophies How the cheek Of the pres
ent possessor would mantel with shame
if the rightful owner should happen to sit at
tea in some house in this State, and find that
he was served with dishes stolen from his
closet And looking about the parlor OF
sitting-room, should discover ornaments and
paintings Of great value that had been alb
5tracted from his house. Yet such thing
might happen in certain localities in this
State

IRE They Pirates Pit Is held IN some
quarters, says the Missouri Democrat that
the capture Of O'Neil and his six hundred
imposes upon the Government Of Great
Britain the necessity Of demanding their
rendition under our treaty with that power;
that Great Britain viii make the demand,
and the Federal Government must either
render up the men to Great Britain, or
present that Government with just ground
for war. This view is based upon the tenth
article Of the treaty Of lS42 with Great
Britain by which parties fugitive ard charged
with crime are to be delivered up. The
terms Of the article are very plain, yet a
question may arise under the provision
that this shall only be done upon such
evidence Of criIninality as, according to the
laws Of the place where the fugitive or person
so charged shall be found would justify his
apprehension and commitment for trial, it
the crime or offense had there been com
mitted". In this case it is simply impossible
that g the offense could have been committed,
for the reason that the real ofense is war
against Britain, and could not have been
wrought on American soil. The question
would be whether these men were actual
pirates or belligerents, and we think strong
case could lie made against assuming, under
the circumstances, that they should be de-
livered up as mere pirates.

Culture of CeIerv-This excellent and
valuable vegetable is unknown IN the ma
iority of farmers families. ct It may be
easily grown, and IN abundance. The seed
should be sOwn early, as It Is slow to ger
inmate. A small bed viii supply plants
enough for large number of families. If
YOU have neglected sowing the seed it IS best
to procure the plants when they are about
two inches high Set them out in fine, moist
soil, three inches apart. They bear trans
planting we'll In this position they will grow
stoeky, and become well rooted The md
die Of July is soon enough to transplant TO
the rows when the crop IS designed for win
ter use but if the plants attain height OF
fouror five inches, they may be moved carrier
Tt IS not well to let them get too large before
the last transplanting.
The soil should be rich, but not made so
with coarse or unrOtted manure, Tor that
might impart a bad favor to the celery The
best is grown on dry, mellow soil. 1t should
be deep and rich to give room and food Tor
! the roots, which are numerous and strong.
/ Make the rows three or three and half
feet apart, and plant SIX or eight inches apart
| in the row The old-fashioned method OF
plantinc In trenches Is not followed by the
large growers of this vegetable for market
/ Plant on the surface where the soil Is rich
and warm. When the plants have attained
a height of ten or twelve inches, earth them
up for blanching a dry day should be
chosen for that operation, and the DIRT should
be made fine. Draw up the leaves 50 they
viii not be covered, and be careful not to
plant any earth on the top Of the plants-in
the axis of the leaves. That would cause
them to decay. Repeat the earthing up from
time TO time as the plants increase in size.
At the approach of winter the celery may
be taken up, the waste leaves removed, and
all rotten ana worthless parts separated from
the sound A good way to store it for win
/ ter use is to pack In sand or fine mold, in
! drv. cool cellar. It is then accessible at all
times. Large growers for market pack it IN
| trenches in the field, and cover with boards,
/ straw and the like, to keep it from freezing
Celery grown on the surface requires more
room than when grown in trenches, as there
must be soil enough between the rows to
| earth up with, but it is much less labor. 1t
! is one Of the very best Of vegetables tor win
ter use If not liked at first taste for It
is soon acquired, as with tomatoes. 1t Is
convenient and healthy, and all farmers
