Mr. SEwARD's LATTER TO TAMMlNY HAIL.
Mr.. Seward was invited TO participate in the
late Fourth Of July celebration Of Tammany
Hall. Mr.. Seward not having the tme to spare
from his copious diplomatic correspondence to
join in smoking the pipe Of peace With the Tam
many sachems, sent them his regrets, coupled
with some unusual compliments to Old Tam
many from Mr.. Seward. He was highly pleased
with the form OF the invitation and its
old Jacksonian motto, that the Union must
and shall be preserved" and with the vignette
which illustrates 1t and he liked the colors Of
Tammany, the red, white and blue and the
Temple Of Liberty ON q rock pleased him, and
the big eagle, and the railroad train, and the
dates 1776 and 1866. They made . period Of
ninety years, which reminded him, doubtless,
of his ninety day prophecies Of the rebellion.
And he thought that having lived ninety years,
the republic would live hundred. And alas,
said be, how many republics have been
shorter lived! Mexico, for Instance but he
did not say Mexico, ~ that has been rather .
troublesome subject TO the Secretary Of
State. He thought the flag, however, on
the right Of the ticket ought 10 have only
the thirteen original stars, while that
on the left is just tho thing, with it thirsy-six.
And he liked the noble principles Of Old Tam
many he believed In the restoration Of the
Southern States he could not tell why they
were still kept out, but he had unbosnded con-
fdence in the American people, and he is in
clined to think it is not much OF crisis after
all.
We presume that had Mr.. Seward been pres
cnt he would have been delighted with the Fe.
mans Of Old Tammany, and he would have
been pleased to meet there Sir Frederick
Bruce and Colonel Roberts hand in hand, and
he would have complimented the sachems Tor
their fine old Bourbon and their good oysters
and we dare say he would have joined with the
same pleasure In toast 70 Andy johnson, old
Thad Stevens, Thurlow Weed, Dean Richmond,
Horace Greeley, II. J. Raymond or john Van
Buren,. Everything Is lovely with the Secre-
tary Of State since the abolition Of slavery.
whatever il is right !" and the jolly Irishman
in the play, who, even without . shirt to
his back, was always jolly, must still give way
to our Secretary Of State for with him 'the
year Of jubilo has come" and he, indeed, ID
"the happy man."

ends of the republican party; that while the
conservatives are filing OF with Doolittle the
ultra negro equality radicals are following the
brazen trumpet of Wendell Phillips A candle
burning at both ends is soon consumed. We
know how 1t was with the little abolition party
of 1874. In robbing Henry Clay of the vote of
New York it elected Polk and opened the way
for the whole chapter Of events that have re-
suited from that election. Slavery might have
been flourishing in full feather this day but for
those fifteen thousand abolition whig votes
cast haphazard for Birney in New York in that
election. So now in this Wendell Phillips de-
lection from the radical party Of Congress we
may have another ultra abolition faction, des-
tined to draw of the balance Of power and to
WELD 1t against the republican party in the ap-
preaching Presidential contest Why noti It
is the same balance Of power which broke up
the great old wing party and the proud and
domineering old democratic party. There is
time enough yet, and there are floating ma
terials enough from which to build up q new
party competent to carry the next Presidency;
and to this end this Philadelphia movement for
the practical restoration of the Union takes :.
hold of the right end Of the main question.

while the shent-per-shent faction still hesitates
and waivers, The lottery faction, under the
Woods, hauls down its peace flag and announces
that it will send delegates Whether this is .
legitimate alliance, or whether the peace men
are acting, as usual, with the radicals, and de-
sign to cast an odium upon the Philadelphia
Convention, we shall see in good time; but
whatever may be the motive Of the peace and
lottery leaders, the result is to leave the shent
persistent clique out in the cold. Everybody
else has taken tickets for Philadelphia, and
they are still lingering upon the rotten Chicago
platform and grinding unpopular tunes upon
their broken hand organs. What is to be

II cents would be a little over the mean, but
we adopt it for our computation.
A bale of 500 lbs. at lie. per ID. sos; L.
675,77O bales at $50 per bale, $257. 49,
$50.
1t thus appears by figures and results
which Cannot lie," that a small crop in this
country brings in nearly as much money as
large one. q
The Enquirer then adds and concludes
thus:
"And there are other considerations affec-
ting the comparison, in favor Of the small
crop, not yet mentioned LIST, the big crop
Of 1859 was three-fourths tprobably) of the
commercial cotton of the world, having no
strong competition from the cotton of other
countries to lower its price; while now there
is much more cotton exported from other
countries than from the United States. I'd,
if the planters had this year made four mil
lion and half of bales, selling at eleven Tor
fifteen) cents per pound, the tax OF three cents
would have been one-fourth or one-hfth of
the whole amount, and would have reduced
the proceeds coming to them to even less
than 5000, 425, 900, the computed value in
gold of the small crop raised.
We make this reminiscence, and present
these figures and calculations, not by way of
Boosting of our sagacity or foresight, but as a
more forcible admonition to planters that
their true policy hereafter lies in the planting
of small crops Of cotton and the raising OF
everything necessary for the plantation at
home"

Gypsum in BOtet0urt.

This is valuable fertilizer and is extern
sively used by farmers. 1t contains about
81 per cent. of water, which when driven
off by the application of heat renders the
Gypsum anheydrous--that is, without water.
Some months ago, however, mine Of anhey-
drous gypsum was discovered in Botetourt
county on Catawba creek, few miles from
the town Of Fincastle. We are gratified to
learn that company is now engaged in sue
cessfully working this newly discovered
mine, and will be prepared to furnish
the valuable fertilizer to our farmers. 1t is
said to be superior to that imported from a
more Northern latitude.

will be made among ourselves, and the money

will be retained within our own borders and
contribute to our own wealth and prosperity.
This anheydrous gyphsum may be ground up
at once and thus form plaster of Paris; being
anheydrous it requires no burning to expel
the water and fit the material for this use.
The labor necessary for this is saved to the
ownera of this newly discovered mine.

The Elections.

The opinion of our Northern exchanges
seems to be that the Iosses Of the Radicals have
been substantial gains to tie Conservatives !;
but practically it amounts to very little with
US, SO long as the great right Of representation
is withheld. What then are we to do ? The
answer is plain. Our duty is to mind our
own business to devote ourselves to the de-
velopment of our material resources and the
restoration of our individual fortunes to the
best of our ability.
Two things are Of vital importance to us in
the attainment of these ends
Tie first is the establishment of some plan
based on equitable principles, for the man.
agenent of the question of labor
1t is of the. first importance to lis all, di-
vines and mechanics, and professional men
and merchants and farmers, that this question
should be brought to speedy solution, for
labor creates all values. ,t
The question includes, list : The relations
OF the white population and freedmen, and
I'd The increase of our skilled labor for
mining, manufacturing, and building purpos-
es.
Upon the labor of the black race our agri-
culture depeads, and upon the products of
our fields we must rely for the great staples
which, if produced, will still give us posi-
ton III the markets of the world, while the
skilled artisan can give us wealth through our
mills, and mines, and FORCES and ship yards.
This is not the time to indicate the specific
measures of legislation which may help us to
adjust the relations Of races in the first place ;
nor to consider the inducements which should
be offered in the second but we feel certain
that it is in these hid paths that our duty
now lies.
There can be no doubt that the road be-
fore us in attaining the objects we have point
ed out is rugged and difficult but energy
and good will, combined with intelligence,
have solved difficulties greater even than ours:
and it is to these great questions of internal
economy that we should now address our
selves, expunging from our vocabulary the
word failure, as a determined soldier filings
away his scabbard. If after this we do fail
we will enjoy the consolation of knowing we
deserved success"
