Four New York Papers.

We see, now and then, Southern newspaper,
seriously lecturing such papers, in New York, as
the Frecman's Journal Day. Hook, Eeps and Record
upon the assumption that the doctrines they advo-
cate are calculated to njure the prospects of the
South. In what way such an effect is wrought, we
confess our inability to understand. The South
cnn not justly be held responsible for the opinions
of those who reside outside of it; and even were it
otherwise, we can see nothing very terrible in
being held responsible for doctrines that are based
npon the Constitution understood by its trainers,
country has ever produced
But the complaints to which we aliude, seem to
grow out of the mistaken idea that those papers
ere published exclusively for the South. This is
far from being true. They profess to be, and are,
b- opponents of political truth and justice; and it
is their duty, 10 themselves, to the North and the
South to advocate, with earncstness, principles and
doctrines and measures which underlie the struc-
ture policy and safety Of the government as origi-
ually constructed and administered. It is said,
however, that this advocacy Of great truths Injuries
the South by inducing the dominant party, at the
North to believe that such truths are endorsed by
the late rebels and that such endorsement is evil
dcnce of continued dislOyalty. For our own part,
we nOiu said New lorK papers gniuiess OF any
agency in nggrnvating the wrongs Of the South.
and deny that the fullest endorsement of their
views, by the Southern people, could add single
pang to the infections they endure. The Radicals
have developed but two motives of action-hatred
Of the South, and love of power and plumber. All
that they have donc-all they propose to do, is
suggested by these base passions. Slavery, the war
disloynlty and all other charges are mere subter.
f'iges used as veil to hide the hdeous features o,
their dabolical designs against the government IT,
. self no less than against the people of the South
Their object is consolidated government with the
consolidated power in their own hands, that they
may convert States mo territories and once
free people into serfs. The New York editors Just
referred to. have exposed and denounced these de.
signs, like men and statesmen, and deserve q
higher reward than ccnsure from any quarter.

had been performed. The crime be.

may readily be imagined to have been
extremely unenyiaOle, and the pros
Ipects Of q prison cell being anything
but agreeable, he determined to make
his escape. The officer baving granted
him the privilege Of saying few
words in private TO his bride, he re-
tired with her to room, bade her
farewell, jumped from window, and
escaped. He was pursued for mary
days, but finally managed 20 elude his
pursuers, and settled in Missouri. A
year later, he wandered into New Mex.

few years, found his way into Cali.

had failed to correspond with bis wife,

fact, but determined to remain dead 10

i noticed, some time ago. god
deal written about keepinga mixed
stock on pastures. As l havc bccuA
keeper OF stock from very eSrly youth
until now, l venture 70 give my opin.
ion. And first, have found sheep do
very we'll amongst cattle, but cattle
do badly amongst sheep. To prove It,
let the farmer take the fodder LETT by
the cattle, even when part OF IL has
been trodden under feet, and II the
sheep are not fully fed, they will see
the sheep eat il up very greedily then
let him take what his sheep leaves and
offer it TO his cattle, and he will find
they won't taste tiff they can get any.
thing else; or let them turn his milch
cows in sheep pasture, and he will
find them failiR milk. Cattle do well
where horses pasture In proof, Of this
every farmer must have seen that cat.
tie will eat the litter OF horses, even if
fully fed, but horses won't eat what
cattle leave unless compelled toydo 80.
But horses and sheep will do well in
same pastures, especially the horses.--
TO prove this, let the farmer turn out
the sheep from their yards, turn in his
horses, and they, will eat up oil tho
sheep have left, even the litter around
the racks. .--JoHN JoHSsoa. e0o5 sV&A
