IT is stated that a crop of cotton
will be grown this year upon the
prison grounds of Salisbury North
Carolina. The long, wavinglines of
green-wearing a deeper hue because
of a soil made rich by human suffer
ing-as they rise in all their beauty,
hiding that soil made hideous to the
memory Of man by the crime and
cruelty perpetrated within its limits,
and the suffering and death which
raised it to such sad eminence T"
among the prison-holds of earth, will
become a physical type Of the work of
regeneration commencing in the po-
litical and social world of the South.
AS the benefcent seasons, in their
turn, shower their kindly influences
upon that scene, the snowy cotton
bursting into view will wave like the
white wand Of peace over the blood
stained burrows that mark one Of the
,saddess memorials of a desperate con
hict. =

respondents letter:
A year or two ago, as yol may re
member, a number of Staten Island
people went 80 the residence Of Mrs.
julia Gardiner, on Staten Island, and
took therefron q secession hag, said
to be the property of Mrs. Julia Gar
diner Tyler, widow of" Captain John"
Tyler, at n time acting President of
these United States. A great deal of
noise was made about the affair-the
outrage, as it was called-and the
mob" was severely condemned, and
the widow vas strongly sympathized
with by the Copperhead papers. A
daughter and nephew of Mrs. Tyler,
1T subsequently appeared, were the
owners and defenders of the flag, and
the conduct of the young lady, when
waited upon by the mob, was what is
sometimes called loud" Since that
time Mrs. Gardiner has died, leaving
a great deal of her property to- Mrs.
Tyler, and the will has been contested
by the latter's brother, David Gardi-
ner. The evidence in the trial was
concluded on Saturday, and showsta
curious state of domestic high life,
besides giving an explanation ofSthe
mob affair, leaving it to be inferred
that the seizure of the flag was insti-
gated by the brother who now en-
deavors, to break the will. By the
testimony of Miss Tyler it appears
that, though she has arrived at the
discreet age of 10 last Christmas"
she is a very rapid young woman,
having a fondness for smoking cigars
and singing secession songs. Her
first lesson at smoking appears to have
been an unusually severe one, for, in
addition to the usual sickness conse-
quent on the first introduction to the
weed, her uncle David insisted on
ramming his haf-smoked cigar dopn
the throat and up the nose Of the sick
young woman, exclaiming, as he did
SO, IN teach you to smoke my
cigars The uncle also h~abitually
choked and .cufed the brothers of this
charming young lady, and Mrs. Tyler
occasionally came in for blows at his
hands. Verify one-half thefworld

The McCracken Letter Again.

, The Paris correspondent Of the
New York Tribune starts a new theory
concerning the much talked of
MCCRACKEN letter. After all that has
been considered on the subject he is
satisfied that the author is "a myth"
that no such letter was ever written
from abroad to Mr.. SEWARD, but that
it was written in the United States,
and hat not any man of the name of
McCRAcKEN but Mr.. SEWARD himself
is responsible for it. The correspon-
dent states this through an authority
which he says is semi-oficial." IF
this is true, the nation may we'll blush
for the head of the State Department.

= The Indianapolis correspondent of
the Terre Haute gEspress has begun
early to speculate on the probable
candidates before the next Republi-
can State Conventfon for the Office
of Governor:
The next gubernatorial contest in
this State is beginning to be talked
of, and politicians are salready1casting
about for the eligible man. The only
candidates spoken of thus far are his
Excellency Governor Baker, and
Hon. Will Cumback, President of
the Senate. The friends of Mr.. Cum
back, it is said, are confident that he,
as standard bearer in the next cam
.paign, can bring to the position the
ability it demands, and as much ecLdt,
or popular enthusiasm. as any other
man. Governor Baker, however, will
be a formidable opponent. He is
quiet and u~nobtrusive, but his
friends will stand by him in every
emergency. He has, besides, the adj
vantage of being entitled Gas much as
any one can be- to another term, and
that reputation as an able and Impair
tial public officer, which will have
great influence IN favor OF reelection.
The names of other distinguished
men could be mentioned, as we have
plenty of gubernatorial material in
the State; but the friends of aspirants
will doubtless make announcement in
due time.
The Indianapolis Herald thinks
should Mr.. CUMBACK be the nomi-
nee, he will POLITICALLY entreat his
friends to vote as we'll as prayfor him.
