AN HONEST RADICAL WITNESS.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Conner cial, who is youched for by the paper as :. an old-fashoned abolitionist who does not exten- uate anything or set down aught in malice, writing from Southern Arkansas, says;
 During month $ travel in this county conversing with scores daily7-I have heard less complaint and less denunciation of the Government, than can be heard around the various corners of Vine and Fourth streets, in your city, in any thirty minutes, by day light-particularly of Sunday morning. That there is an anxiety to know when, Ii ever, they are again to take their places in the Union as reconstructed States, is evident enough, but there is modesty about this which does not ill-become a high toned con- quered enemy. 4ar aeas7
 From all that have been able to discover. am satisfied that if the State of Arkansas was admitted into the Union to-day, with all the rights and privileges she ever enjoyed in it, except as to slavery, she would be much better governed in the year to come than she has been during the year which is past. It
 
 been in rebellion against the Government; ; they have been punished for that Whether that punishment has been adequate to the crime committed, cannot be question with any noble minded victor, for she has cried '' Enough!p If we are magnanimous vic tor, really as powerful as we talk, we will no. only let this fallen enemy get up," but by brushing the dust from her soiled garments i try and make of her fast friend. Her peo- 1 plc like all other human beings, can and will appreciate words of kindness. As proof of this, Henry Ward Beeeher's sayings upon the subject of reconstruction have made him de- cidedly popular here There is no living man who would be more cordially received and listened to with more respectful attention than he. This may be changed to selfish, in terested motives; but such suspicious, just now, when there are wounds to be healed are l far more dangerous to the future good of the country than the helpless object of them.

 TIE GARDEN Generally speaking our farming and planting community do not devote proper attention to the garden By all means, to make garden profitable to have vegetables fit to eat, and carry oil digestion; have land rich so that the veg etables will not be hard and stringy- Turn over the land after a heavy manur- ing of rich, and we say, fresh ned51ure, so that it may rot in the earth and the salts and gases retained by earth, then top dressing of good rotten manure and well rakcd in. Admit an acre of land would cost s2o0 to manure and trench, yet It would be "a good investment, having an outlet where the water could pass from the bottom. A garden trench two spits deep, with manure well forked in the bottom, would give about two feet of light soil, this being thoroughly enriched, say with 10 or 50 cords of manure, the land would remain light and mellow for 10 to 20 years, and then top dressing yearly would give more food to the acre. II the ground kept replenished as fast as the grown vegetables be removed, than will any five acres of other food crops. .Bu there is another matter, proper distances to plant vegetables. We have seen onions planted 3 to 10 inches apart, and distance between rows s2S to 25 inches. We have seen Early York Cabbage 2 feet apart eacl way. and Drum Head about IS inches Now, Early York may stand i'll rows F ? Is inches apart, and Drumhead, if on ricl land, may be at least 2 feet, and woul' perhaps pay at ? by 22 or even 3. Drum head remains long in the garden, and Eat ly York but a short time Use littl brains with your sweat and plenty of ma nure and we will guarantee success. An one knows a cabbage ofl5 to 20 lbs requires more space than the small ones ( of 5 lbs. .-Ruralist.

TIE FARMERS BARoMRTER.-Tak a com mon glass pickle bottle, wide mouthed; fill it within three inches of the top with water then take a common Florence oil flask, reinov- ing the straw eoyeringsand cleansing the flask as far as it will go. and the barometer is com plete. In fine weather the water wilrise into the neck of the flask even higher than the mouth of the pickle bottle, and in wet, windy weather, it will fall to within an inch of thC mouth of the flask. Before heavy gale et wind, the water has been seen to leave thC flask altogether at least eight hours before the gale came to its night The invention wa. made by German and communicated to s London journal.

exposed to the frost and the action of the vital forces, will produce vefy nutritive soil, A soil may be decpcncd then by turning up all the nutritious, and little of the subsoil, each year and thus there will be no limit to the increased product ,iveness, but the want of physical means of disintegration. -
 We arc now prepared to account for the conflicting testimony of farmers about deep blowing One blows up deep fri able nutritious soil a foot or fifteen inches, and produces most extraordinary crops Another submerges under impenetrable clay or innutritious gravel, the thin crust of nutritious earth, the same depth as the other, the roots never are able to reach through the innutritious to the nutritious soil, and the crop pcrishes !! Forthwith he reads the community a jeremiad against :" deep plowing."
 From all this it will be seen that, farm ing is both a science (and q most broad and intricate sciehce) and an art, calling for the highest human powers of obserya- tion, combination, and analysis.

POWER OF IMAGINATION. A wealthy lady had a tickling in her throat, and thought that a bristle of her tooth brush had gone down and lodged in her gullet. Her throat daily grew worse It was badly infamed, and she sent for the family doctor. He examined it carefully, and finally assured her nothing was the matter-it was mere nervous deusion, he said. Still her throat troubled her. and she became so alarmed that she was sure she would'die. A friend suggested that she should call in Dr. Jones' young man just commenc- ing practice. She did moi at first like the idea, but finally consented, and Dr. Jones was called. He was person of good address and polite manners. He looked carefully at her throat, asked several questions as to the sensation at the seat of the alarming malady, and finally announced that he thought he could relieve her in short time. On his second visit he brought with him delicate pair of forceps, in the teeth of which he had inserted a b.istle taken from an ordinary tooth brush. The rest can be imagined The lady threw back her head the forceps were introduced into her mouth i; a pick--a loud scream ! and twas all over; and the young physician, with a smiling face, was holding up to the light and inspecting with lively curiosity the extracted bristle. The patient was in raptures. She immediately recovered her health and spirits, and went about every where sounding the praises of 'her savior,s' as she persisted in calling the dexterous oDer- ator.

DEATH or XIV. THEODORE CLAPP. - This
distinguished divine, saws the LouisviIle
Journal died at his residence, on Green
street, IN that city, on the 18th inst, aged
SeVenty-iour years. DR.. Clapp, after gradu-
atlng at Yale College and ct the Andover
Theological School, Massachusetts,, was sent
to New Orleans to take charge Of the First
Presbyterian Church in that city. It was a
trying position to one so young and mex
Perieneed as q clergyman, but he nerved
himself TO the task, and discharged the
duties with a zeal, and devotion, and ability
rarely equaled.
The elite Of New Orleans-professiona
men, scholars and critics-lor years at
tended his ministry, and thousands have
sat spell bound beneath the magic Of his
glowing eloquence and the lofty flights Of
brilliant imagination. Americans, French
men, Germans, and men from half the ma
tious Of Europe hocked to hear him from
week to week and from year TO year. When
the epidemics came and scourged the de
voted city, Mr.. ClaPp was ever at his post,
visiting the sick and whispering hope and
consolation in the ears Of the Departing
am the forlorD.
Some ten years since, the old church,
which be ministered in so long, was burned
down, and his health failing him, removed
to Louisville, where he has resided, with
occasional exceptions, ever since, chiefly in
retirement, up to the time Of his dissolution
as above stated.
Thus has passed away great light from
our moral and intellectual heavens. He
seemed to have no particular disease, and
his death appears to have been the result
Of a general giving way of the whole sys-
TEN, mental and physical. He leaves a
widow and two sons to mourn their ire
parable loss. His memory will long be
cherished by thousands.

DESTRUCTION OF RAILROAD
BRIDGE.
A Construction Train Precipitated
into the Cumberland River.
Several Persons Killed and wounded.

Intelligence was yesterday received in
this city to the effect that the west span Of
the bridge across the Cumberland river at
GAINESVILLE, on the Louisville a. Memphis
railroad, broke through yesterday, precipi-
Eating q construction train, heavily loaded
with wood, into the river, a distance Of at
least sixty feet. A part Of the bridge next
to Clarksville has been but newly con-
structed, but the span to the west Of the
" draw" has been standing since the first
construction ofthe road. On the rebuilding
Of the remainder Of the bridge, this portion
was carefully examined and pronounced
sound but the catastrophe yesterday shows
that the Judgement Of the best engineers is
frequently at fault.
On the train there were six white men
and about a dozen negroes, all Of whom
were precipltated into the river. We learn
that two Of the white men were killed. as
were two Of the negroes, while two more Of
them were missing. The remaining four
white men were also badly bruised. En-
ginccr Smith Irwin had charge Of the train,
aud was both bruised and scalded.
The engine-No. IO5-was the largest on
the road and we learn that it was broken
into fragments.
