The Wheat Crops.

The Wheat Crops,
Now that the SHOWS have melted and dis
appeared, present most promising APP
pearancc. During the severe freezing
weather, last winter, the grain was expos
ed to the high winds without any protec-
ton sand frointhis cause, and the alter
nate freezing ana thawing to which they
were subjected, the crops were injured to
a considerable extent. Such has not been
the case this winter they were protected
during the. cold spell in January by fire.
quent SHOWS, which remained until the first
of this month, when they were not any
longer necessary. Hence, we observe, the
grain not only stands well upon the ground,
but looks thrifty and promising generally.
Another favorable circumstance is. that our
farmers had better facilities last fall for
5. thorough preparation of the soil, and a
large quantity Of the grain was put in with
drills, and in many cases the various fer
tilizers were used. It is fair to presume,
therefore, thatif the; season shall be ia :.
vorable one, we may anticipate at least an
average crop of grain next summer.
In this connection we would suggest,
that, where it can be done, the application
of bone dust, ashes, and ether fertilizers
may be benefcially applied to the growing
crops by being broadcasted. It will give
the young plants an early and vigorous
growth, and thus save them from the raw
ages of the fly, joint-worm, &c. We have
seen it tried and know whereof we speak.

Remedy Worth Trying.


In the spring of 1861, having upon our
premises a number of valuable plum trees
which promised to produce abountiful crop
of that delicious fruit, If It could be saved
from the ravages of the curculio and 9th
err insects of that kind, we determined to
try an experiment upon them. Accord
ingly we got half a pint Of fish-oil, half a
gill of spirits thspenti.e, an ounce Or so
of birthstone, and boiled tie .villainous
compound carefully until allthe ingredients
were well mixed and when the fruit be-
gan to drop the bloom, wcapplicd the com
position to the trunks and branches Of the
fcient length t. reach the topmost boughs.
The result was most remarkable We
could not discover a single instance III
which the fruit had been punctured by the
destructive insects referred to. The fruit
came to maturity in the finest condition
unusually large. luscious and juicy and
the growth of The young trees seemed to
have been promoted at the same time III
deed, the result of this experiment was so
entirely satisfactory, that we commend it
to our friends as dead Shot for those de-
structive insects that prevail 50 extensive.
ly in this region. For many years the
common blue plum, than which there is
not superior fruit for preserving in the
country, has been almost totally destroyed.
By the application Of the remedy named
this valuable fruit may be saved from de-
struction. 1t is at least worth trying.

lieving that change in command in the
Fifth Military District is absolutely neces-
sary for the faithful execution of the law,
| have issued the order which is the sub
ject of this correspondence.
In thus exercising q power that inheres
in the Executive under the Constitution,
as commander-in-chief of the army and
navy. am discharging duty required OF
me by the will of the nation, as formerly
declared in the supreme law of the land
BY this oath the Executive is solemnly
bound to tie best of his ability to preserve,
protect and defend the Constitution, and
although in times of great excitement it be
lost to public view, it is his duty, without
regard to consequences to himself, to hold
it sacred and enforce any and all Of its
provisions. Any other course would lead
to the destruction of th0l,epnblic; for the
Constitution once abolished there will be
no Congress for the exercise of legislative
powers; no Executive to see that the laws
arc faithfully executed; no judiciary to
afford the citizen protection for life and
property. Usurpation would inevitably
follow, and a despotism be fixed on the
people, in violation of their combined and
expressed will.
In conclusion, [ fail to perceive any mil
itary, pecuniary or patriotic reasons why
this order should not he carried into
effect. You will remember that. in the
first instance. | did not consider General
Sheridan as the most suitable man for the
command Of the Fifth Military District
The first time has strengthened my convic-
tions upon that point, and has led me TO
the conclusion that patriotic considerations
demand that he should be superseded by
an officer who, while he will faithfully ex-
ecute the law, he will at the same time
give more general satisfaction to the whole
people, white aud black, north and south.
| am, General, respectfully yours,
ANDREW JOHNSON.

Tennessee Laws VS.. Negroes.

In Tennessee they have Il law like that
in every other State which requires men
to work 4 certain time the roads and
highways in their districts Some negroes
in Shelby county in that State being call
ed upon refused to work, and appealed to
lie Free linens Bureau, which the white
people of the North maintain at vast ex.
pense to protect them 1t actually did 50.
and declared that said negroes could not
be compelled to work the roads, except
about their own property. In noticing
this decision the Nashville JRioa says:
"The law compels them to work the
roads about their property and no further.
Tennessee law requires all able bodied men
in road district TO work on the roads,
Does this new Frec2men's Bureau law
override Tennessee law Are all blacks
exempt from working on roads further
than their own property q
So the result is that the whites have TO
work the roads in Tennessee and the ne
grocs don't They are an exclusive and
favored class. They are ike the bondhold-
ers, who use the public roads, which must
be maintained and kept up at somebody

cause Of their complimentary, or uncomplimen-

and more particularly because Of their peculiar
character. While we were running the Cedar
County Copper we advocated the same princi-

radical principles of the day, and yet We
were called all kind Of hard names for so doing
because We ran clear Of party politics; but as
We are now running tho REPUBLICAN, little
