Brownlow has just issued an address to
the people, in which he declares himself
physically unable to canvass the State
He denOunces Etheridge and his party in
unmeasured terms. He says Etheridge is
bad man and will do great harm with his
inAamatory speeches. The following is an
extract from the Governors address:
Wherever these violent speeches are
made. infaming the bad passions of bad
men, deem it my duty to station troops,
aud shall do so, let the consequences be
what they may. And although the great
est imaginable freedom of the press and of
speech should be allowed to men. of ell par
ties. and the conduct of public men and
their measures shsuld be criticised with
out reserve, 1 do not conceive it to be the
duty of the State guards to stand quietly
by and hear any man excite the mob spirit
by denouueing the Federal and State gov
ernments-resistance to the courts-and
the setting aside of their decisions BY force
or mob violence.
With these opinions briefly set forth, l
submit my interests 70 Tue lOyaI FVses a.
the ballot box, to be disposed of on the
frst Thursday in August. So far as am
individually concerned, my success or de-
feat will amount to nothing, but it is of the
drst importance to the State, and to The
Union men, that the principles which my
nomination represents should triumph.

We COPIED few week since from the /
american Agrieulturalist the manner of pre-
pairing the land for sweet potatoes, adopted
by w. w. Rathbone, of Marietta, Ohio. and |
now add his plan of setting and cultivati0g
the plants, as communicated to the May
number of that work
The plants should always be set down to
the first leaf, and if the upper portion is
destroyed by late frost, they win start
from below and make good growth. The
ridges being made, they viii stand thirty
to thity-six inches from top to top; let
them be sharp pointed. To mark the dis
tances Cor plants. I use a revolving wheel,
with fans every three feet, resembling a
reaping machine fan, marking two rows
at once. I keep the plants, we'll set up on
the ridge, and cut between them at the
second and third hoeing to make the bills.
Make the hill pointed and high. Do not
be afraid of dry weather. We always get
the bests crops when everything IS burnt
up"
MoDE OF SETTING PLANTs.-One plant
per Hill is plenty. Put fifteen inches apart
if to be kept in the ridge. I have two
modes of setting. First, if the weather
be dry, don't wait for rain, nor the dark of
the moor. Let one boy drop the plauts
another pour from waterproof, with the
nose of, sufficient water to float the rootlets,
aud Immediately I'LL up with mellow earth.
81,
plants after heavy rains. A second meth
cd of planting, which I prefer when the
earth IS sufficiently moist, is to dip the
roots in puddle of clay of the consistence
of thick cream. The plants thus treated
generally live well, and the objectiona-
bic hard lump formed about the plants in
many soils when watered in the hill is OBJ
waited.
AFTER CULTTvATIoN.-Afte every rain
break up the crust of soil in coutant with
The plants. 1 do this rapidly with both
housekeeping, raising and pressing the
earth on the tips of the hills. 1t answers
all the purposes of a regular hoeiug, break
ing up the ant holes and giving health to
the young plants Keep the surface clear
of weeds. Be careful in working among
| the plants, not to hoe too deeply. The ear
Hest potatoes lie Immediately beneath the
surface.
After heavy rains the vines root at the
joints. On sunny days they may be up
turned on the hill or ridge. But Fin no case
cut off the vines. have cut every alter
nate row in large patch to fully test this
point, and on harvesting found fully 100
per cent. in favor of the uncut hills. A
frost that merely blackens the leaves does
not hurt sweet potatoes, but if the vines
are frozen it does. Upon digging, the po-
tato should be carefully handled and put
away in boxes or barrels, with alternate
! layers of leaves, (some prefer cut straw, J
in warm dry place to keep.
In conclusion, repeat. if good plants
are set as Indicated, on moderately fertile
Ind. with good surface drainage on small
hills. the surface kept well cleaned, any
reader of the AgricuZturaZist south of As
degrees north latitude can raise good Nase-
mond sweet potatoes.

FRIDAY MORNING, MAY II. 1867.

Eight Reasons for Planting an Orchard.
We commend to each of our readers.
who owns a piece of ground however
small, the following:
/. DR.. Dwight used to remark to his pu-
pills at Yale, that the raising of fruit was
the cheapest and pleasantest way of enter
tanning ones friends. We are creations of
society, and it is very important object to
make the social board attractive to all who
honor US with their friendship. a dish
of well grown apples is always wholesome
and acceptable.
2. An orchard is always an ornament to
the farm, beautiful blossoms, its summer
drapery of green, and its autumn burden
of yellow and rudy fruit. No farm is
complete without its acres Of orchard.
3. The cultivation of fruit is very
pleasant occupation, and has an important
influence upon the mind and heart Of the
oultivator. L requires higher intelligence
;han the growing of the lnusl crops. 1t
fosters forecast and hopefulness, and tends
to cheerful temper.
4. It makes home attractive /; children
are universally fond Of fruit, and the homes
where this luxury is always enjoyed, will
be more loved on that account. It will be
in pleasant contrast with many homes
around them.
5. 1t will tend 10 guard children against
vice and crime. So strong is the desire
for fruit, that they may steal it if it be not
provided for them at home And the boy
that grows up plundering his neighbours
yard and orchard, is very likely to steal
more valuable things when he becomes a
man.
6. 1t is very sure investment. An ap-
pie tree. if well planted, is about as hardy
as an oak, and sure to bear fruit according
to Che labor bestowed upon it. When
houses burn up, and banks fail, and rail-
road stocks depreciate, the orchard will
yield dividends.
2. 1t is not a sure investment for your
self alone, but for your children. No real
estate in their inheritance is likely to be SO
permanently valuable An orchard in
good soil will bear fruit for a hundred
years.
8. tits perpetual excitement to thanks
giving to the bountiful Creator 1t yields
its burden of prescious fruit yearly, Civ
ing large returns for the labors of the hus-
bandman, aud calling him to behold the
wisdom and goodness of Providence. Do
not fail to plant that long deferred orchard.
aud while you are about it, select good mar
ketable fruit, the best is the cheapest.

Investments Of Money.

We advise farmers to invest their
money in farm improvements, mechan-
les in better tools and facilities, mer-
chants in advertising. But there is
much money which cannot be invested
in these ways. Public improvements,
really needed and of great utility next
to securities for which the faith Of the
State or Nation is pledged, ought to be
the safest and best paying investments.
So they are, if we'll managed. The
first mortgage bonds Of the Central
Pacific Railroad Co. are regarded as
first class securities. These bonds are
sold by our friends Fisk q Hatch, No.

a "COFrectiOm" COrrected-the In
sulf 30 the Memory of SIr Lincoln
ar ths VaIIandiRham Meeting in
EEIIlsbOrO, Sept ), 1867.
AT Copperhead meeting in Ohio re-
Gently the chairman read a burlesque
letter, purporting to have been written
by Abraham Lincoln 'in He'll" 1t is
needless to say that the Democrats hail
ed this profane allusion to one of
Americas noblest heroes with loud
cheers. .--NeV York Tribune.
Was it not that our experience with
the Tribune convinces us that like Peck
sniff, it is sheet hypocritical in the
extreme-professiDg the greatest fair
ness, yet swapping up the most absurd
statements and giving them with an
air of truth, we might be surprised at
seeing so silly and yet so outrageous a
falsehood as the above in its columns.
From beginning to end-without a
particle of truth to support it, the
charge is bald falsehood. We do not
expect the Tribune to correct the mis-
representation, for that is out of its
line.
We copy the above from the Ohio
Statesman of late date, and assure the
editors of that paper that the statement
of the Tribune is substantially true. At
the great Vallandigham meeting at
this place on the 5th of September last,
Mr.. S. w. ellison, one of the Demo
cratic speakers who preceded Mr.. VAL
landigham, read what he said was a
communication from the spirit of Mr..
Lincoln received through a "spirit-rap-
ping medium" 1t represented Mr..
Lincoln as saying, that he was in hell
and enduring the torments Of the damn
ed for his political sins, and warning
prominent Republican leaders still liy-
ing, to beware lest they should share
his awful fate. Hundreds of Repub-
licans who were present at the meeting
can testify that they heard this impious
and blasphemous production read, and
that it was received with cheers by
large portion Of the crowd.
This is the TRUTH, though the States
man may be honest in supposing that
nothing of the kind ever occurred, and
we do not wonder at its feeling asham-
ed of such disgusting and shameful
performance.
Will its editors "correct the mis-
representation" they have made?-
