Another Sad Casualty.

only recently we published an ac-
count ofthc melancholy dcathb by vio-
lonco ola youthful son of DR.. Walter
Brice. Aud now we have that of an
other youth. Tho circumstances, as
far as we have learned them, arc that
son of Mr.. James McCrory was riding
in the "new grounds" with Mr.. James
Jones, when n burning tree fell, crush
ed tho lad to death and broke Mr..
jones' thigh.
This isa stunning blow to tho af-
iiictcd parents, and our sympathies
arc truly with them. SO thorough
going, energetic citizen as is Mr..
Jones can but poorly bo spared, as ho
must now necessarily be for weeks,
from the progressive industry of our
District, now that so much of those
qualities is essential to tho building
up of our brokon fortunes. We hope
he may spocdily and entirely rocoyor.

Don't Cultivate Land without Manure.
There appears to be a good deal of
sound sense i'll the following state
mcnts from the Southern Cuhiratoy:
''lt costs you on our average soils,
ten dollars or more, to make an acre
OF corn with hired labor, and fifteen
or more to make and gather an acre of
cotton. Ifyou do not look closely af-
ter your hands, it will cost you good
deal more than that. Now every
acre cultivated, that will not yield
crops worth ut least the above
will not only be no profit
but run you into debt. Large crops
still, are rcE'ircd, to obtain profit
on hired labor. Lands, then, which
willnot yield such crops, VIC must
let them rest, or manure them suf1i-
cicntly, or we lose money. At least
half Of our poorest soils hitherto de-
voted to corn and cotton, should be
thrown out to rest, and tho balance cn-
richcd. How long will it take us to
exhaust what lit;lc capital We have
left. if for every acre on which We can
mako a net profit Of ten dollars, VIC
continue to cultivate five, which lack
\ 4 n
ing tho actual cost of cultivation.
There arc few lands which will not
yield profit, if commercial manuros
arc iudiciously j. applied.

llc also lays great stress upon tho
gratitude duo BY the North to the

that not halfa dozen out OF every

Curious Statistics.

Some statistical genius declares that
"more money is expended in the United
states for cigars than for all the common
schools in the country"
a wag, who is undoubtedly alover Of the
weed, seeing the statement going through
the papers. gets OF the following:
1t has been calculated that the cost of
washing linen that might just as well be
worn two days longer, amounts TO enough,
In this country, to more than defray the
expenses of the American Board of For
eign Missions.
''rhe expense of buttons on the backs of
our coats where they are of no earthly use
is equal TO the support of all our orphan
asylums.
1T is estimated that the value of old
boots thrown aside which might have been
worn at least n day longer, is more than
enough to buy flannel gown for every
baby In the land. Also, that the cost of
the extra inch on the fall shirt collars of
our young men is equal to the sum neces-
sary TO put Bible IN the hands of every
Patagonian giant"

A Noble Gift,

A writer in the New York Evangelist re-
cords the following incident:
A few Sabbath evenings since n young
gentleman in Reformed Dutch congre-
CATION on Fifth avenue went home from
church with his pastor and after telling
him how he had been prospered during the
past year, said to him In substance:
II have considerable of the Lords n0Rey
in my possession; to what good use shall |
put itf"
His pastor told him that their Board of
Foreign Missions was $4,000 in debt, and
recommended him to give $1,000 to that
Board. He did so at once and went home.
The next morning before breakfast the
gentleman came back much troubled in
spirit and said
Il did not give enough last night" He
sat down quickly and wrote his check for
d6y-Sir thousand dollars, and thus swept off
"a burdensOme debt of their missionary
board by one stroke OF his pen! Now"
said he, II feel better

The Impeacher Impeached.

Ashley, who has undertaken to impeach
President johnson. Is the same scamp
whose rascally doings were brought to
light in n report submitted To the House of
Representatives by one of its committees
OH the 2Sth of February, 1868. The report
shows, AS set forth In the Washington Re
publican, that Mr.. Ashley was charged with
corrupt official conduct and only es-
capped by "fiaw In the indictment. lie
was accused of obtaining an office for q
consideration previously made" and es-
capped because it was not exactly proven
that the consideration had been previously
agreed upon"
Ashley procured the appointment of F.
NJ. Case as Surveyor General of Colorado.
Among the letters of Ashley to Case.
pending his eXertions Tor the appoint
ment, is one dated February ,, 1861.
in which he dwells on the Importance
of the Office, saying that it would enable
n good business man (meaning "rOgue,n
probably to make fortune of S500O0 or
$l00,000; and in the same letter he says
Il want my brother as chief clerkw On
March u 1861. Ashley by letter informs
Case that he had made some progress, and
that in order to secure the Indiana delega-
tion and Senator Lane to cooperate on
Smith, he had promised that the sub-ap-
pointments should be made jointly, he
giving them their first choice" lie asks
for letter authorizing him to make such a
pledge. He also says to Case, in his letter,
that he wants to unite with him MS full
partner in all land speculations and town
sites.
This is the precious rascal who has un-
dertaken to impeach President johnson for
corruption in office pm y. H'oTid, JdRu-

Contest for Power and place.

The Radical leaders are receiving some
plain talk from some of their own people.
Their followers are becoming alarmed at
the lengths to which they are proceeding (;
and like the subject" who, after Obeying
all previous commands, was ordered by his
mesmerizer to jump intosa wall, they are
asking If this is not carrying things a lit
tie to far" The New York Times says:
''Men are unable to guess what's coming.
One day the impeachment project startles
by its boldness; another day some other
wild scheme comes up to teach US how near
we are to a general looseness. There Is \
want of confidence superadded to more
than ordinary dullness; and this want of
confidence proceeds In no small degree from
an impression that Congress is more intent
upon the accomplishment of political re .
suits than upon the furtheranceo of practical
legislation"
That the suppression" so modcstly put,
is but the simple palpable truth, has long
been manifest to all who have eyes. The
denial of suffrage and representation to the
Southern States, is merely 10 secure "a
political result All the reconstruction
schemes of Congress, are but examples OF
show not TO do It," with the same end i'm
view. The sole reason of it all is, that the
Radicals fear the Southern States would
vote against them. 1t is for this they are
determined that we shall never vote at all.
Here lies the reason; all else are but pre-
texts and DISCUSSES. Their whole struggle
is TO maintain power, and secure the spoils
of office. 1t Is for this that they are threat
ening the President with impeachment,
They stake everything upon the mainten-
ance of position. The demands of ''practi-
cal legislation" are comparatively haga-
telle, and even the Times, though purblind
with party, begins TO see it for the moment.
