JEFFERSON CRY, Dec. 10.
Col. Hines, DR.. Thorn, Mr.. Hall and Mr..
Ash, on behalf Of the citizens Of jackson
county, were here yesterday to confer with
the Governor in relation to the troubles there.
They satisfied him that all parties there are
now fully united, ready and willing to aid the
civil officers in executing legal process. The
people OF the whole county Radical, Con-
sentative and Confederate are pledged by
the committee to unite with each other for
their own protection, and to enforce the law
against all evil doors. Mr.. Hall is the acting
Sheriff, and is very confident he can raise 4
posse of a thousand men in few hours. Il
occasion requires. With this pledge and un-
derstanding. the troops designed for jackson
county in the Governors call will al 81 sent
to lafayette county.
Thus it will be seen that one rood result
has been accomplished by the Governor
course. In Jackson county, al parties asree
that his measures were necessary even in
that locality.
In response to the Governors call for
troops, over two hundred companies have
been offered him, and the cky i still they
come. The only question df perplexity now

The points made by Senator Trumbull IN
his recent great speech favoring the granting
of the petition of Governor Wells and Others
to overthrow the existing State Government
of Louisiana, and substituting Provisional
Government in its stead, are these:
He said if the statements made by the me.
morialists, who we're of high character, were
true, the Congress ought to take immediate
action for the protection Of the people Of
Louisiana He said that murders of loyal
men we're increasing in frequency, and the
lives, liberty and property of freedmen were
mainly dependent on the interest and caprice
of the disloyal, and that neither loyal white
citizens nor freedmen could obtain justice IL
the civil courts. Adequate military protes'
ton for the State government must be il
some way inAAgurated.
|. He sdenied the right of the President te
attempt to restore them through Provisiona
Governors, or that he had any authority Il
organize them, or to take any steps in rela-
ton thereto, unless in pursuance Of some Law
previously passed by Congress. In conclud-
ing, he remarked that these present organi-
cations had failed to answer the purpose TO
which they were established, and it was en-
tirely competent for Congress to ignore them
and organize others on such principles a
would secure the ascendancy Of loyal ant
republican principles. Louisiana had rebel
led, and now her disloyal people must accep
the fate which awaits every people who wick
edly and without cause engage in rebellion

1t is funny to note the hearty sparriug be-
tween the Johnsonian party and the Democ.
racy-the only vigorous thing that the two
moriound institutions can do. 1t is the snake
and skunk fight over again, and awakens the
same reflections in the public mind That
confirmed Butternut, LIE BLOND, bitterly re-
pudiated the modern Moses in Congress the
other day, and his action therein draws from
Johnsonian organ, the Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser, this indignant rejoinder:
"The infatuation Of the surviving repre-.
sentatives of that moribund party is most re.
markable. Although visiby as dead as
herring they steadily refuse to recognize the
fact, and persist in sitting up in their grave
clothes. ltwould naturally be supposed that
the rap on the head which the party received
IN the recent elections, would be sufficient to
settle the leaders into a comatose decornm.~
IT. seems, however. that they have some wild,
visionary hope Of the future, which neither
they nor the spectators can explain. Tha,
element Is to be counted out in the adjust.
ments OF the political future; and the gener-
Gus purpose to give the extremists all the
rope they want, is equivalent to similar
concession by criminal to hangman''
W eAe osnes nnho, the new ork Ledder
Gays:
.We are at length relieved of the dead
weight of Andrew Johnson, whose impoi,ic
proceedings, whose weak device of Phila.
delphla Conyention-which, as our readers
will remember, we always opposed-and
whose purposeless swinging around the circle
have done the Democratic party frightful
amount of injury. Mr.. johnson has been
dangerous only to his friends; he has labored
hard to manufacture capital for his ensnies.
Without any OF his spurious assistance the
Democracy would have been stronger to-day.
His tour cost US Hoffman's defeat. 1t is on
ly in this city, where the Democracy practi.
cally repudiated Mr.. johnson, that we have
been able to hcl! ,ar own and to increase
our vote"

D. Poor sueAR--A correspon-
dent of the Country Gentleman states
the following facts respecting .e
msnufacsure Of beet root sugar in
Illinois:
In 1862 land was purchased, fac
torv built and other prepartions
made to manufacture the sugar, by
the firm of Gennert Brothers. In the
snrinp of '63 one hundred acres were
pIanted. In the meantime, prices OF
skilled labor advaeed 500 per cent
The machinery was yet tobe import
ed from Germany, with gold over
two dollars. The funds of the firm
were not sufficient, and, as eonse-
uuence, with meager appliances, only
5000 pounds of sugar we're manufac-
tured. The yield fromthe 100 acres
Gf beets was ascertained- to average
10 tuns per acre, and tie per centage
of sugar was 1L4 per cent The per
centage actually obtained with the
imperfect manufacture was z per
cent.
Last September 8 eompany was
formed with ample capitsi. and the
oHs~-.-Ling again resumed. The
Superintendent nas purchased u.e
requisite machinery and 5000 lbs. o
seed. Six hundred acres Of beet
will be grown the coming season
We have confidence that sugsr max
ing from the beet will prove highly
successful, and II SO the rich prairiei
of the west can supply the world.

A Coon SUBSTITUTE FOB PANT
For the benefit of our readers, both
in the city and the country, we pub
lish the following recipe for making
q wash for fences and outbuildings,
which is said to look as well as paint.
We quote from the Chemical Gazette.
"Take a clean water-tight barrel or
other suitable cask, and put into it a
half bushel of lime. Slack it by
pouring boiling water over it, and in
sufficient quantity to cover five inches
deep, stirring it briskly till thorough
ly Stacked. When Stacking has been
effected, dissolve in water. and add
two pounds of sulphste Of zinc and
one of common salt. These will
cause the wash to harden and prevent
it cracking, which gives an unseemly
appearance to the work. If desira-
bic, beautiful cream color may be
communicated to the above wash,
by adding three pounds of yellow
ocher, or good pearl or led color
by the addition OF lamp vine or ivory
black. For fawn coler, add four
pounds of umber-Turkish or Amer
ican-the latter Is the cheaper, one
pound of Indian red and one pound
common lampblack. This wash may
be applied with a common whitewash
brush, and will be found much su-
perier, both in appearance and dura
bility to common whitewash."

GARDEN MAsAeExKsr.-Int the o..

GARDEN MAsAeENRET.--Iu the gar
den one should cultivate q variety
so as to have a seasonable supply fol-
the table at all times. OF spring
growth, asparagus, lettuce and rad
ishes are among the earliest and best
If the lettuce is grown in hot bed
and the asparagus well managed
these vegetables may be placed on
the table very early in the season.
Part Of the asparagus bed might be
covered with a cold frame, which
would bring it forward, and so
lengthsn the season. When the
spring vegetables are gone, the more
delicious enes of summer growth
supply their place. Early potatoes,
beans, corn, onions, peas, beets, TO-
matoes, cucumhers. and czbpages di-
versify the farmers living. Straw
berries, raspberries and biackberries
succeed one another in order, and
continue the supply until the fall
fruits mature. There need be no
failure in growing these fruits. Nor
should the garden be without q bed
Of celery for winter use; and the va
rious vegetables which remain in the
ground TO be used when the winter
frosts first set in, should be amply
cuitiyated.-Rurol New Yorker.

CURRENTS AND GoOsEBERRIEs. I'VE
notice that the cultivation of the red
current has much increased within a
year or two; an when it is consider
ed the value of this fruit over many
others. for pies when green, for wine
jelly and drying, the surprise is that
8 more general Importance was not
long ago attached to it, not only as q
garden but field crop. 1t is in
every way wholesome crop and de.
sirable fruit, and one of the very
easiest to propagate and cultivate.
Asansing the supply of bushes,
take last years wood, about g rUot OF
fourteen inches in length, where they
are desired to stand or otherwise,
press the ground around them firmly
with the foot, and there will rarely
be q failure If a single stem, in
tree fashion Is preferred, remove
with knife all the eyes on the part of
the cutting which goes beneath the
ground. If a bush is preferred, let
the eyes remain. So far as produc-
tieH is concerned, we think the bush
is rather the most profitable, and
may be the longest lived.

E Horace Greely urges every
body to "buy land. " He says:
"Land is still amazingly cheap in
most parts of our country, and is not
destined to remain SO. migration
is very heavy; we are all sick of war;
and our population increases at rate
which will double it every twenty
years. The common notion that we
still have an.enormous area of arabic
soil unappropriated is mistake.
West Of Kansas and Nebraska-that
is, over three hundred miles west of
the Mississippi-there is little good
land. The central table lands Of
our continent lie so high as to be
cold and frosty, and in summer are
parched by persistent, pitiless drouth.
Even were not the lack of timber
serious obstacle to settlement, not
one acre in fifty could lie rendered
productive without irrigation and
artesian. wells, and these are very
costly"
