The ATLANTIC MONTHLY begins the new
year royalty. All its great names are here
and, what is better still. the articles accompa-
nying are of the writer's best The Atlantic
is too apt to give US the second rate work Of
hrst rate men, relying on the name to pass it,
but we have no reason to complain that it has
done so in this number. 1t contains the first
instalment of DickeDs's new story, "George
Silverm ans Explanation" which is to run
through the year; the first part of story en-
titled "Flotsam al Jetsam," anonymous, but
showing vigorous hand; finely written ar
tiole on the late President Waylard, by Prof
Diman; Emersons Phi Beta Kappa oration
on the "Asp ects Of Culture" an account Of
the smoky wonders of Pittsburg, by James
Parton; also two short stories by Mrs. Fl. b.
Stowe and w. d. Howells, both good, and
both touching the vital domestic question of
help" Tnen there is fresh chapter from
the unpublished papers of Hawthorne, and re-

Garden Walls.

In this climate, where the suns rays need
to be well husbanded, and where shelter from
violent and chilling winds is most important,
it is almost impossible to have really good
garden, and to raise and mature certain
choice fruits, vegetables and flowers, without
the enclosure being surrounded, at least on
three sides by high, tight and substantial
walls. The higher they are made, the bet
ter, SO they will stand firm. The inner
surface of these walls should have trellises
attached to them upon which grape and other
vines may be traced, and to which the fruit
bearing limbs and branches of dwarf trees
may be confined. Indeed, 1t is almost impos-
slble with us to succeed in the out door cul-
ture OF the best varieties OF the grape, or of
the choicest pears, especially the winter ones.
withoutsuch walls. They receive and radi-
ate the warmth of the sun, protect the vines
and branches from the cold and violence of
wind, and add a week or two OF growth to
both ends of the season. Everybody has no.
ticed how much earlier tree or shrub W i'll
blossom that stands against the wall of a
house or other building, and how much more
perfect the fruit will be, than another of the
same kind which stands out in the open
ground. ,...t..r...
The cost of garden walls is considerable-so
is almost everything which insures good sue
cess. Even fences, which every garden must
have, cannot be built and kept in repair with
out pretty serious cost. High, tight board
fences will answer good purpose, if properly
supported by substantial braces against the
winds. Heavy gales, however, will try the
strength of almost everything Of this kind.
Stone walls are better, and in many places
there are loose boulders enough on farms and
highways that may be economically removed
to the garden and laid up as high as necessary.
Granite faced walls are better. Where these
materials are wanting, or are too costly, a.
brick wall may be raised that will last for
generations. In some places concrete walls
of gravel are made at small expense which
are said to be very excellent. A garden once
thus enclosed, is enclosed for lie. The first
cost is the final one. These who can afford
it, would do well to divide their garden lot
into narrow plantations, each lined by good
wall running N. E., and S. w., in order thus
to obtain more wall-suriace against which to
train vines and trees or espaliers. BY this
means, the proprietor will be very sure OF
ripening the choicest grapes, pears, peaches,
ounces &c. In the result he would find the
investn 1T profitable one.
In the lee of such walls, tine sail is ALWAYS
thor, in,
the cultivator can plant seeds very early, and
be in advance OF his neighbolhood in the
gathering of cucumbers. tomatoes, squashes,
melons, salads, caulifowers, beans, corn.
potatoes, &c. &c. 1t is an object in this cll-
mate to lengthen out tie season as much as
possible, and high walls are very sure
means Of accomplishing this great object.

The Prevention of Raiiroad Accidcuts

The Prevention of Railroad Accidcuts
In view Of the constantly recurring railroa
accidents, which make the telegraphic col
umns of the newspapers look almost like
"lihy bulletins after severe fight, an ex-
cnaiise suggests that the following precautions
De taAeh 10 prevent them. They seem to be
reasonable, and as well calculated to effect
the purpose intended as ANYTHING except the
famous remedy suggested by Punch-tying
two directors on the front of each engine:
L. Car wheels will fly apart; but each car
should have so many wheels, so placed, that
any one may be shivered without disabling
the car or throwing it off the track. This is
simply matter OF cost; and economy is real
ly ON the same side with safety.
Ill. Our passenger cars must be made OF
iron : OF cast-iron plates, firmly held by
wrought iron rods. These cost but little more
than hrst-rate wooden cars, will last far Ion.
ger, and are worth twice as much whea
worn out. There is economy in the substitu-
ton OF iron for wooden cars; while the former
are almost proof against calamity. They do
not burn in case OF accident; they do not
splinter; they do not crash into oven wood;
their general use would save three-fourths of
the lives now lest by railroad casualties.
IL. we must stop painting all manner of
puohc conveyances-more especially steam
Doats-with mixtures whereof one ingredient
is highly infiammable oil. Our grand and
gay river and sound steamers are fireships
ready to flash into delth-dealing conaagra-
tion.
Nv. A passenger train should ALWAYS be
provided with brakes that could be instantly
and firmly applied by a motion of the en-
gneer's foot. Drakemen cannot be relied on.
They have various an conflicting duties I;
they are driven by storm and cold to seek
shelter and warmth within the car; and the
signals of the engineer to apply brakes are Of
ten detective or unheard. sff
v. New safeguards against flying the track
on embankments, bridges, &c, must be pro-
vided. Two squared sticks OF timber, eigh-
teen to thirty inches in diameter, laid upon
each side of the track at such points, and
firmly secured and bolted there, would pre-
clude scores of frightful disasters. A thick
concrete wall OF rough stones laid in lime and
cement, rising on each side of the track to
hight OF two or three feet above the rails,
would be still better. Such timber or walls
might add $1,000 per mile to the average cost
OF railroads, though, in prairie and other lev
el regions, it could hardly be half that But,
even were It to cost 5000 per mile, this pro-
lection TO human life must be had.

AN ITEM IN THE EXPENSE OF RECON-
sTRUcTIoN.-During the debate on the de-
iciency bill in the House of Representatives,
Brooks of New York and other Democrats
having complained of the expense attending
reconstruction, Gen.. Butler answered them
in the following effective style: 1a
Mr.. Butler said he held in his hand naner
showing how some of the money spent in re-
construction had been used. 1t was a bill OF
Thomas Adams, chief of police of New Or
leans, one item of which was as follows.-
"For cash paid for hauling forty-six loads of
dead and wounded from around the Mechan-
les Institute TO the station house, SI3S.n-
Reconstruction measures were proposed as
measure OF economy, to get rid of the stand
ing army in the South, and to put into loyal
hands the ballot. Second, to relieve the
southern people from such bills as the one he
had Just read, and last as the great finishing
up OF the rebellion which bad received the
sympathy OF those who had been acting with
the gentleman from New York, lBrooks.l 1t
was believed that when the negroes of the
South got the ballot they would be able to
protect themselves. He had listened with ut
ter contempt to the taunt that the ballot
would be taken from them. Men might talk
about that, might plot for it, might scheme
ioi ~, Win tne dlu OF all Jne powers OF hell
and death, but the ballot once in the hands
OF freedmen never was and never could be
taken away. Who ever expected such
thing, SIMPLY butted his head against the
wall. Whenever it was attempted he trusted
that his friends on the other side would 90
down there. They would be welcomed in
way that would make them understand the
negro had some of the attributes OF men, to
wit: the knowledge OF their rights, courage
to maintain them, and steadfastness never to
yield them up.
Mr.. Getz inquired whether Mr.. Butler
meant that they would be WELCOMED with
bloody hands to hospital graves"
Mr.. Butler SAID he did not mean that
The negro was kind, amiable person. and
whenever the gentlemen should fall in such
an unhallowed contest they would be kindly
cared for with tenderness and mercy. The
negro had fought tor the country, and would
fight for himself whenever he was attacked,
and not until then. 1t was said that there
was about 20 be war OF races. Why should
the negroes rise, if as the gentleman from
New York Brooks contended, they were
now on the top and they could not get any
higher? He had listened to all such false
prophecies, but he would say that the party
t. which he belonged would take no step
backward. .....-.. ... -

sHER1DAN's LETTER TO GRANT.

The following is the letter Of General SHERIDAN
to General GRANT, (spoken Of several times in our
telegraphic despatches,) relative to the extension
of registration in Louisiana. 1t will be seen on
careful perusal that the letter is not so recusant
in tone, as we have been told to believe:
HEADoRs FIFTH MILITARY DISTRICT,
New ORLEANS, La, June %, 1857 |
General o. s. Grant, Commanding Armies United
States, Washington. d. C.
GENERA1-I am in receipt of telegram from the
President, through Brevet Major Gen. E.D D. Town
send, A. A. g., o. 8. Army, directing me to extend
the registration in this city and State, until Au-
gust 1st. unless have some good reasons to the
contrary, and ordering me to report such reasons,
for his information. Also, stating that in his
judgment this extension is necessary to Q tul and
fair registration, and that the time should be thus
extended, because the other District Commanders
will not get through before that time.
My reasons for closing the registration IN this
city were because had given the city two and
half months, and there were no more to register;
have given the State two and half months, and
did not feel warranted in keeping up boards OF
registration, at large expense, 10 suit new issues
coming in at the eleventh hour.
The registration will be completed In Louisiana
at the time specified, unless am ordered to carry
out the law under Mr.. Stanbery's Interpretation,
which practically, in registration, is opening
broad maeadamized road for perjury and fraud to
travel on. I do not see why my registration
should be dependent on the time when other dis
trict commanders get through. have given more
time for the registration in Louisiana than they
propose to give in their commands, for COM
menced six weeks before they did. Iregret that I
should have to differ with the President, but it
must be recollected that I have been ordered to
execute o law to which the President has been in
bitter antagonism. II, after this report, the time
g, Soh ho Iad MIA Wi
done. Iwould do it at once, but the Presidents
telegram was conditional, and there is sufficient
time left to issue the necessary order.
P. a. SHERIDAN, Major-General.
