Improving Poor Lands.

A Pennsylvania correspondent of the
Anasrican Farmer, who states that he has
had some acquaintance with the worn out
lands of the South, gives the following
method for sheir Improvement -as"'sa
The first operation is to pillow the ground

at least : then put on about thirty three
bushels of lime 70 the acre. Sow with oats,
not too thick, not over two bushels to the
acre, cover with spike harrow and SOW
clover seed immediately after the drag,
about six quarts 70. the acre. Make drag
Of light brushy and brush in the clover
seed. The sowing Of the clover seed
should follow thas Of the oats before there
is any fall q rain tofoEms crust. Pass
roller over the ground e the soil be light.
This is merely the starting point, and very
much depends upon its being done weil.-
1 have seen blowing done in the South that
could notscall ploNing at all. It was only
scratching lin fact, Thaye not seen a pillow
in the South that would cut and turn over
a fhrrow slices as it ought to be done. -ll
When the crop Of oaus is taken of. lee
the young clover grow on until fall, with

CoNEEDERATE MONEY IN THE SUPREME
CoURT.-The Supreme Court of Tennessee
has just made decision in regard to Con-
federate money transactions, which will
settle many cases now pending III the couts.
The question was this A clerk of the
court had received Confederate money in
payment of Judgments, and had entered a
satisfaction Of the judgment and execu-
tions on his docket. A motion was made
to have the satisfaction set aside, and for
the issuance Of new executions. The Su.
preme Court decided that the transactions
will not be disturbed-and therefore refus-
ed to set aside the satisfaction or TO issue
new executions. They Say that for the re-
pose Of society, it is best not to disturb
transactions that have been settled and
conspmated. The question whsther the
clerk is responsible for receiving Confede-
rate money, was not involved in the case.
and therefore was NOT decided. -...9 ID

A GENERAL BASKRUPT LAw.--In, an ar,
ticle on this subject the Boston Post says
if the Senate. of the .Unitnd States viii nov
take up the bankrupt bill which passed the
House at the last session. and make it a
law 80 far as Congress can do it, the sincere
thanks of the country will be its requital.
It is poor craftsmanship that permits the
energies of the business men and most ex-
perienced commercial talent to be locked
up by laws. which. in proposing to protect
creditors. really contrayene the fundamen-
tai interest of the country. The objection
to such law, that it will shield dishonest
debtors and offer standing premium to
fraudulent practices, will not bear careful
examination. To remain on. the statute
book of the nation, it must embody and ex-
press the common sentiment on this subject;
and that is certainly in favor of nothing more
nor less than justice. .r-

ALL reliable accounts agree that the pre-

chiefly owing to the prospect Of Radical do
mination in the affairs of the Government
for the next two or three or more years.
This fearful prospect win keep capital back
from any profitable employment, and force
it again into unfruitful speculatiOns. The
South cannot obtain capital for its agFicul-

transportation, either from the North or
from England. while the Radical Congress
remains the actual government Of the coun-
