Forking Bnrnyard Manure Over

This is essential to rotting well. When
corn stalks, straw and ordure ofanimals
are all trod down firmly during the win
ter and spring, the air is etfectually ex-
cluded, and the material will not rot
until it has been forked over, were it to
remain there for year or more Ifitis
loosened up so that the air can circulate
among it, the entire mass will decay in
o few weeks so that it will be easy to
pitch and spread it. Fow the most ex-
peditious manner Of pitching manure
up clean from the bottom is to do the
greatest portion of it with strong
horse fork. Set up three long peles as
fer pitching hay on q round stack, and
make hole down to the bottom Of the
manure first; then thrust the tines of the
horse fork under the manure and turn
it up in large rolls, and tear it to pieces
with hand forks. Horse forks are of
great service where the manure is very
long. After it has rotted, aman or two
men, can pitch much faster by hand.
If barnyard manure remains in the
yard all summer, it should always be
forked over. to facilitate the decay of
corn stalks and coarse straw. But il
should be protected from rain. Some
farmers pitch long mannre on the wag.
on with horse forks. But never could
preceive that the practice would pay,
because a horse fork will not hold as
much as a horse is capable of elevating.
1t is easy for any one to try the expert
ment which will soon satisfy all antici-
pations of doubts on this subject

Primary Meetings.

We publish to-day the call OF the
Democratic Executive Committee of Ohio
county, for Primary Meetings to choose
delegates TO the State Convention to be
held in this city on the eighth day of
January Lext. On the part of the Com
lnittee We urge "A general response to this
call.
The Convention about to be held will
be- one of great Importance. 1t is prop
er that it should he composed of our
very best men. As Ohio is the leading
county in the State, So her represen-
tatives in that body, should be such as
will properly sustain her position. With
q little attention on the part of the vo-
ters suitable persons can readily he
found. We hope for full attendance
at these Primary Meetings.

Communicated
naior John A. Thompson.

This distinguished officer was not a
graduate of West Point, but was edu-
Gated 1T the Virginia Military Institute.
His first associations in the Army were
with Colonel, afterwards General Lee,
of the Confederate service. Most of his
fellow officers of the same regiment
were Southern gentlemen. After the
partial disorganization of the regiment,
consequent on the breaking out of the
civil war, he was associated with Col
onel. afterwards General Sumner, brave
and gallant soldier and fine disciplin-
arian. Lieutenant Thompson's early
duties in the army were in the
explorations and protection of our
immense territory in the West. In
these duties many instances of fsagaclty,
forecast and intrepidity might be re-
corded, while his official reports OF
his explorations are models of concise
ness, fullness and completeness Of de-
tail, exhibiting all that was important
to he known, and avoiding the prolixity
of unnecessary and feeble detail. They
commanded the public and official COM
mendation of his superior officers, and
were the basis of much of the subse-
Guent action Of the Government in'rela-
ton to the whole of that great western
domain.
Upon the breaking out of the civil
war he parted with great regret
with his personal Southern friends in
the Army. For some time his services,
from his superior knowledge ofthe conn-
try, were required for the protection OF
the California mails and the Western
settlements against the Indians, who
then, as lately, had assumed n warlike
attitude. But when the government
was sorely pressed in the South, he was
ordered into the Army of Tennessee
with his command. He was present at
the fatal battle of Chickamauga, and 1t
was bis presence of mind, his
personal bravery ard fortitude, and
his disObedience of orders, or rather his
substitution of his own military dis
cretion that saved the retreat of the
army and its almost total destruction,
At the close of the war he was sent to
Texas, but had just been called 10 New
Orleans, and was waiting the arrival OF
the officer before he would depart. He
was scholarly, soldierly and gentle
manly, with the love of his mon, the
respect of his fellow officers, and the
confidence of his superiors. G. w. 7.

The Murder Of Major John A. Thomp.
son, of the he gulnr Army.
From the San Antonia, Texas, Express, Nov, ls

from the San Antonia, Texas, Express, Nov. lS.
An express from Fort Mason arrived
in this city on Saturday morning bring
inc the intelligence of the brutal muir
der of Major John A. Thompson, COM
mander at that post, on Thursday morn
inc last. Major Thompson was out
riding with his wife and two children,
and passing by a store about half a
mile from the fort, saw difficulty tax
ing place between some citizens and
soldiers, he stopped his ambulance and
ordered sergeant who was present, to
have the parties arrested, upon which
tue desperadoes turned upon the Major
and his sergeant, shooting the Major
through the head killing him in
stautly while by his wife's side, and
mortally wounding the sergeant. The
murderers having their horses at hand
fed before any attempt for their arrest
could be made. Three names are given
of this gang of rebel murdcrers Doug
liby Taylor, Hays and Spencer; they
are the same gang who murdered the
freedmen at Lavernia few months
since, and who were allowed to go free
from a too-easy sense of justice on the
part of our authorities; they have been
hanging around the forts to rob tho
soldiers on pay day, and have at last
crowned their villainy by numbering a
Union officer.
Scouts have been sent in all directions
to. if possible, catch the murderers.
The officers of the regiment have offered
one Thousand dollars reward for their
arrest and delivery to the military
authorities.
Major Thompson served through the
rebellion with credit. He had just re-
ceived his promotion to the rank of
Major, and was only waiting the arri-
val OF an officer to relieve him 80 that
he could proceed to his new post in
Kansas with the Seventh Regiment
United States Cavalry. A man of noble
qualities and genial nature, he was uni
versally beloved by his fellow-officers
and the men under his command. He
was very happy in his domestic
relations, having one of the sweetest
of women for wife, and two beautiful
children. On the banks of the Ohio
River his aged father and mother, sur
rounded with ease and wealth, but re-
Gently urged their son to resign, and
come home and bless their declining
years. Just on the eve of departure
this man, about whom so much love,
aud friendship, and happiness was
clustering, was shot down by rebel
assassin out on the frontier of Texas.

Oatrnyes by Negroes In Bullock
County-A General Rising and nur.
der OF the Whites Threntened-Gen-
eraI swaync Sends Troops TO Queil
the Disturbance.
MONTGOMERY, December Alarming
excuses have recently been committed
by the blacks in Bullock county, in the
neighborhood of Perote. The cOlored
loyal leagues organized and resisted the
process of the civil authorities under in
structions from colored emissaries.
They formed code of laws, opened a
court, officered and organized it,
arrested by night all blacks who op-
posed their unlawful proceedings, and
carried punishment so far that their VIC
Tins applied to civil authorities for pro-
lection. The black sheriff and his
deputy were finally arrested, but the
other insurrectionary leaders organized
and made armed resistance. Aid from
other leagues was summoned and the
blacks flocked to Union Spring, threat
eniHg a general rising, the extermina-
ton of the whites, and taking posses
sion Of the country. The black leaders
went to plantations and forced the la
borers to jein them for vengeance,
showing pretended orders from Gen
eral Swayne that they had a
right to kill all resisting their
authority. During the excitement the
negro church at Perote was burned by
unknown parties, it is alleged by the
black lesguers, to infiame the negroes.
The whites universally regret it. The
whites organized for protection. Gen
eral Sprague was appealed to, and sent
detachment of troops promptly to the
scene of the troubles to restore order.
Fifteen black insurrectionists have been
arrested and lodged in Jail, to be tried
by the civil authorities. AT last &C
counts order was restored and all quiet.

DEAR SIR:-It becomes my painful
duty to inform you of the death of your
son, Major John A. Thompson, at this
post, this morning, at the hands of des-
peradoes, while commanding the peace
in an affray between them and a party
of soldiers just arrived from Fort Chad

The ball struck the right cheek, be-
low the eye, cutting the internal carotid
artery, and emerging below the left ear,
with fatal hemorrhage in about twenty
minutes. was by his side in few
moments, but my best endeavors to pre-
serve his valuable life were hepelessly
futile. He was universally esteemed
here, his many noble qualities winning
him large circle of friends, who with
his inconsolable family, aud the army,
which loses one of it's most valuable
officers, will ever deplore his irreparable
loss
Accept, dear sir, my most sincere
sympathy in this your sad bereavement.
Mrs. Thompson will leave for st.
Louis as soon as q proper escort can be
secured TO accompany her.
Very respectfully, yours,

Rire Rnnycd Manure.

Some kinds of manure are more liable
to become fre-fanged than other kinds.
Horse manure, ifallowed to lie in consid-
cradle quantities, is apt to undergo the
process of fermentation under high heat
when it assumes q mouldy whitish ap-
pear,nce and becomes very light. 1t
suffers an immese loss, so much so that
its virtue is gone, and as compared with
unheated manure it will produce scarce
ly any appreciable effect. The fertili-
zing qualities, especially ammonia, are
thrown off and the mass is left inertand
useless.
In the management of manures, there
fore, care should be taken to prevent
too great a heat by composing and
forking over. Lean and muck if mixed
freely under the stables will preserve
the heap, prevent fire-fanging and thus
proveSery useful. 1t is q good plan to
lay in q store of these substances to be
mixed occasionally with the manure
heap through the winter.-[ Mass. Ploc-

on Wednesday night. Its object was
to hear q report from the Committee
appointed to superintend the work o I
Africanizing the South, and to consult
As to further necessary measures for re-

General ScHENcK made favorable

Bndiy Rndgered.

Our city cotempOrary loses his temper
on the smallest possible provocation.
On Thanksgiving day, he indulged in
heavy flourish of enterprise" aud re-
fused to observe the occasion. We were
perfectly willing that he should vent
his spite at Providence and the Presi-
dent by keeping his shop open when he
should have beeu about more pious
duties, but were somewhat disgusted
when he tried to make merit of his
contempt for public opinion and relig-
ious usages. Hence our very good-na-
tured inuendO, concerning his Stiffness
as displayed in his affected "enter-
prise" on Thanksgiving day.
The burlesque seems to have pene-
trated his stupidity just far enough to
goad and fret him. He becomes very
petulant and very amusing. His rising
bile renders him insensible to ridicule,
and he furiously parades his arguments
to refute Jest of which everybody but
himself knows that he is the butt.
Poor, dear, delightful, simple, savage
soul!
About a year ago, he made himself
ridiculous in q similar manner, but,
contrary to maxim, he learns nothing
from experience. We presume the moon
must have changed about the same time
in November this year that it did last.
With view to further cavorting we
would like to know il his enterprise"
on the Message question two years
ago was not tweptyfour hours be-
hind that of the REGISTER. Also, ifit was
not through the genuine enterprise"
of q gentleman connected with this
Office that he was enabled to produce
the Message, so early, a year ago.
Also, if the REGIsTER Extra was not
presented II his Office on Tuesday morn
ing, "ahead of all competition" and
before the Iatelligencer had sent out a
single copy. Also, in what words the
e REGISTER, . year ago, published "a
shameless falsehood." Also, if he did
not choke when he stated that
the REGISTER Vas indebted for
its copy of the last Message, to an
arrangement made in that Office" Also
IL he believes it would have been Possi-
ble for the Intelligencer to secure copy
of the Message from the private Secre-
tary Of the President under any ar.
rangement that would exclude the
REGISTER from like privilege. Also, il
after general review of the situation
il does not strike him, that he can make
very amusing jackanapes of himself
by the simple process of giving full
sway to his natural inclinations.

CURING MEAT-In Buffalo they are
applying the Alberger process of curing
meat. After the animal is killed, the
belly is split open and an incision made
in the heart; then comes scslding and
bristling; after this another iLcisiou is
made on the opposite side of the heart,
and into the two, rubber tubes inserted,
and brine well heated, [S20 degrees
forced in. In few minutes the brine
is distributed through the carcass, and
the meat is cured, the remaining blood
being displaced at the same time
