RE A disnatch from WASHINGTON

es A dispatch from Washington, da-
ted the 4th instant, states that the State
Department has information of silk plant
in Peru, and that extensive preparations
for its cultivation have been inaugurated.
It is described as shrub four feet high,
with the silk enclosed in pods, which are
very numerous. The texture of the silk
is said to be very fine. The stems also
yield a fibre of superior strength and
beauty to the finest linen thread. 7o12 i

Disingenuous.

The course pursued by the radicals to-
wards the people of the South is, to use no
harsher term, disingenuous in the highest
degree. They have forced upon us un-
limited and unrestricted negro suffrage, re-
CARELESS OF the sentiments of the white DO
pulation; whilst some of the loyal States
have refused to give the negro even quail.
lied suffrage. If it is a matter of such i'm
mense Importance that the black man
should be made a voter, the law giving
him that privilege should be made to APP
ply to every section and every State; it
should have uniform application to the
whole country. 1t would seem that the au-
thors of this anomalous Legislation of Con-
gress, professedly for the purpose Of resto-
ring the Southern States to the Union,
were not altogether satisfied with the poll
cy of giving the negro suffrage, because it
was right, but determined to experiment
upon US first, to see how it would work.
Having fixed this monstrosity upon us,
the radicals are sending their missionaries
through the South to teach the freedmen
how to vote at the elections soon to take
place. At some of the meetings held by
these expounders of human nghts, under
the military despotism that now Expresses
us, inhammatory appeals are made to the
passions aud prejudices of the colored peo-
pie, calculated, and no doubt intended, to
create and foster ill-feeling and distrust
on the part of the freedmen toward their
employers. This is all right, in the esti-
nation of the extremists but if South
ern man, and especially al editor, pre-
sumes to question the orthodoxy of the
new-fangled doctrines taught by these ad-
vocates of a mongrel government and a
hybridized society, he must be threatened
with arrest and cried down as disturber
OF the public peace. If we point to the
evidences Of the inferiority of the negro to
the white race, as developed by the past
history of the two races, we are denounced
as aristocrats, whose aim it is to re-estab-
fish slavery, if not in name, at least prac-
tically, in the relations of the two races,
as proprictors and laborers.
The truth in this matter can onlv ho

conclusions. If our opponents are right,
time will demonstrate it; if wrong, it will

@By reference to an article in ano-
Their column, it will be seen that, upon the
petition of Jefferson Davis, through his
counsel, Mr.. Shea, Judge Underwood has
issued writ Of habeos corpus, which, it is
believed, will be responded to by the Pre-
sidcnt by the delivery of the prisoner to
the custody Of the United States Circuit
Court. What will be the probable result
of the delivery Of Mr. Davis under this
writ? is the important question. His
counsel are Of opinion that Judge Under
wood will refuse to try Mr.. Davis, because
his court has no jurisdiction in the case
in which case they will demand Mr.. Da-
Wis discharge from custody; and if this is
refused, his counsel will ask that he be re-
leased on bail If Judge Underwood should
refuse either to discharge or bail the pris-
oner, being out Of the hands of the militia
ry authorities, the President could not in
terfere, he would be sent to Jail. In this
event, his counsel are of opinion that Chief
Justice Chase will dispose Of the case at
the meeting Of the United States Circuit
Court at Richmond in June next.
Heretofore, it will be remembered, the
Chief Justice refused to hold a court in
ssDistrict No. l." 50 long as military au-
thority superseded the functions of the CT
vii government. Whether he will now
try the case, notwithstanding this anoma-
lous usurpation still exists, or whether he
will wait until the civil government shall
again be restored, remains to be seen. =
However this may be, this movement
would seem to indicate disposition to try
Mr. Davis case without further unneces-
sary delay.

Fruit WITHOUT STONES At the last
meeting Of the Agricultural Society in In
dia, the Rev. Mr.. Firminger communicated
plan by which the stones of fruit may be
reduced or made to disappear, and the
pulp increased in size and flavor. At any
time during the cold season select branch
that is to be used ssfterward for march
ing. Split it up carefully somewhat less
than span long. From both halves of
the branch thus split scoop out clearly all
the pith then bring the split halves to-
gether again, and keep them bandaged
till they have become thoroughly united.
At the usual time, the beginning of the
rains, march the branch thus treated upon
suitable stock; taking for the place of I'M
ion the portion of the branch just below
where the split was made Upon branch
of the tree thus produced a similar opera
ton is performed, and so on for successive
seasons; the result being that the stone of
fruit becomes less and less after each sue
cessive operation. This process has been
applied likewise to the grape vine at Mall
aga; and plants thereby have been pro-
dueed which bear the finest fruit without
the slightest vestige Of a stone within
them. .,3 .a.... +c5 ea.i /,

CONSOLIDATION OF THE ORaNep Avn Ar

CONSOLIDATION OF THE ORANGE AND Al.
ExANDRIA AND MANASSAS GAP RA1rRoADs.
The only obstacle now preventing the
definite consolidation of the Manassas Can,
Railroad with the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad, and the consequent completion
OF the former to Harrisonburg, with its
hoped for sequences, an immediate and
immense increase to the business of this
city, by bringing here the trade and pro-
duce Of large portion of the Valley, and
the required security it would afford to
nearly all the other railroads in the State
against the aggressive policy Of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, is the failure to
agree upon the price to be paid for the
bonds of the Manassas Gap Railroad
Company, issued to the amount of
about million of dollars, for which the
Directory Of the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad Company offer forty-one, but for
which the bondholders ask sixty-one cents
in the dollars Ii these bonds were held by
foreigners, persons at the North, or peo-
pie who had no particular interest in the
future welfare of the. State, or in the ulti-
mate prosperity Of her different cities and
works of internal improvement, reasons
might be assigned on both sides way this
difficulty should continue but when a
large majority of both parties to the pro-
posed sale are Yirginians whose interest is
identical with that of their State, there
seems to be no sufficient cause why a COM
promise should not be instantly effected so
that the resulting benefits might be exper-
fenced at once. --Atecand,1d Gazette.
