LONDON, Dec. 27-Noon.-Another OF those
Aendish out1ages which have characterized the
operations Of the Fenan Brotherhood has
just been perpetrated at Dublin. kilograms
received from there to-day give the following
particulars
An unusually large number of letters have re.
Gently been received at the Post Office at Dublin,
directed to prominent officials. Each one Of
these letters was loaded with explosive com
pounds, designed to kill the person addressed.
Several OF them exploded before their real ma
ture was aseertained, but up to this time no
person has been killed. One of the city police
men who received letter was horribly maugled
by the explosion, which occurred when he
opened it. II is not known how many OF these
dangerous missives have been despatched.
Considerable excitement prevails in Dublin
and elsewhere, throughout the country,
on the discovery Of this latest Fenian
outrage. The authorities are actively
investigating it, and will, no doubt, probe the
matter to the bottom. The "TImeS" of this
morning has an editorial article on the Fenian
question, and says that no less than 50, 900
special constables have been sworn in and are
now serving in London, and asks the provincial
cities and towns to emulate the precautionary
measures of the metropolis.

By rating lands according to their quality and
taxing the same in gradation-say from five cents
to fifty cents per acre--we ensure that they be
brought into usefulness; for no man can afford to
have them lie idle for any length of time, but
must either make them produce him something.
or throw them into the market and sell them.
While we, by this policy, bring about such o
desirable result we at the same time raise at
State and to pay the interest ON its debts. More
over, we put the credit Of the State at once 30
high, that we can borrow money in the Northern
or European markets at very low rates of interest,
and gradually throw the much needed capital and
means into the hands OF our people, BY fostering
the building OF railroads and canals, by draining
and dyking our swamps and lowlands, and by max
ing other internal improvements.
repeat, then, that the whits man should hon
estly perform his part for the advancement and
elevation OF his colored fsow-citzens, and assist
in providing Some9 and comforts for them, as well
tutions for the DID, SICK and cripple, and so soon
as they do so, confidence will be restored and all
will be peaceful and happy:
Remember, my white fellow-citizens. that all
your lands are useless, if you cannot get assistance
in working them. Lands without labor are bar
rem waste, consequently you must be friends with
your neighbors and your laborers, 80 that when
you need them, and they have time to spare, they
will assist you for an adequate remuneration. Both
are benefited You get your lands attended to
and cultivated, and all who have time to spare,
and have need of your money, get this money for
their work as an equivalent. While both are free.
and both are seemingly independent, one is as
much dependent upon the others work as the
other is dependent upon the first for his money.
See then my friends, that your laborer is happy
in his own home in your neighborhood, and that
be in want Of hands to do your bidding, and to nv
oolored friends will say, as David said in his
dying charge 20 Solomon: SHOW thyself man."

The Farm and Garden.

The Egyptian Corn, so extensively advertised
OF late, is humbug.
"A fence around farm Of 16O acres occupies 90
acres of land.
Oil is now being largely made Of sassafrass.
Planters in Virginia are now busily engaged in
gathering it.
Tobacco grows luxurisntly in Stockholm, Swe-
den, which is in the same parallel of latitude with
South Greenland.
A new kind Of cotton, called the Echols cot
ton is said to have been introduced into Georgia,
which will produce $4,000 pounds per acre. "Too
good to be true"
EARLY peas, onions, asparagus, English broad
beans, spinach, lettuce, parsley and radishes may
still be sown, which, il not done at once, should
be delayed until February.
What comment on most Of our Southern
planters is the following sentence from the Mary
land Farmer:
son most soils two horses cannot plough deep
enough; to use four horses is inconvenient, and
requires an extra driver. Harness three horses
abreast and you have the best plow team"
The plantation stock should now receive at
tention. Provide good shelters, and it will be far
less expensive to bring them in good plight
through the winter and the manure can be saved in
tie best possible condition. Log shelters, well
built, and chinked and covered with split boards,
will more than pay for themselves the first year. if
the object be to make stock comfortable in the
cheapest manner that can be discovered.
Now is the time to start your manure pile.
Everything that has once formed a part Of a vege-
table or animal, and is subject to decomposition,
will form plant food. Leaves, bones ashes, suds,
ofal from slaughtered animals, house-slops jail
should be added to this pile. Nothing should be
lost-a little extra trouble will repay hundred

MONTGOMERY, November IA caucus OF the
Radical majority of the Reconstruction Convention
decided last night to send a special messenger to
Washington to ascertain from leading Republl-
cans how far Congress will permit the Convention
to go on the question ct DISTINGUISHING rebels, and
to-day the Convention, by a vote of fifty-six to
twenty-four, postponed further action on the
franchise question until Monday next resolu-
ton was adopted instructing the proper Commit
tee to inquire into the expediency of requiring
former owners to pay the blacks wages for their
services from the date of the Emancipation Pro-
clamation to May 20, 1865. An ordinance was in
troduced and referred proposing to con6scate
portion Of the Selma and Meridian Railroad, which
was constructed by the Confederate Government
in aid of the rebellion, the proceeds of the same to
go into the Educational Fund. An ordinance was
introduced to abolish the State Poll Tax.
