Gov. Fen ton on the Confederate
Dead at lntIetam

Extract from the letter of Governor Fen
ton, of New York, regarding the burial
of the Confederate dead at Antietam.l
When we recall the generosity and
moderation that marked the conduct
of the people, the Government and
the army during the war. and the
magnanimity thai presided at its
close; when we remember that our
countrymen are now engaged In the
work of reconstructing the Union on
the basis of universal freedom, and
with an earnest desire to restore to
the Southern States prosperity inf
nltely greater than that which slavery
and rebellion conspIred to destroy, it
is impossible to believe that they
would desire to make an invidious
distinction against the moldering re-
mains of the Confederate dead, or hat
they would disapDrove of their being
where they fell, and laid 30 rest in
the National Cemetery on the battle
field of Antietam.
Conquerers as we were In that great
struggle, our stern disapproval of the
cause 10 which they fought need not
forbid our admiration Of the bravery
with which they died They were
Americans, misguided indeed, and
misled, but still our countrymen, and
we cannot remember them now either
with enmity or unkindness. The hos
tility of the generous and heroic ends
with death, and brief as our history
is. it has furnished an early and
striking example. The British and
mericans who fell at pIattsburg
sleep side by side; and common
monument on the Plains of Abaham
attests the heroism of Wolfe and
iMontcalm.
To-day nothing, perhaps, could
sooner reawaken national spirit in
the heart of the South than the
thought that the Representatives of
the Northern States were gathering
the remains of its fallen sons for in
torment in our National Cemeteries;
and in future days, when our country
is one, not alone In its boundaries,
but in spirit and affection, and the
recent struggle is remembered as a
war less of sections than of systems,
the cemetery at Antietam, with its
colossal statue of a Union soldier
keeping guard over the ashes of all
who fell in the opposing ranks Of Nc
Clelan and Lee, will have a common
interest for the descendants of those
who died on either side in that sad
and memorable civil war,

Presidential.

The force of the tide of public
opinion, and the almost absolute Ger
tainty that General GRANT will be the
Republican nominee for President,
renders it quite unnecessary to repeat
the evidences of his great popularity
which come to us from all quarters.
Nevertheless the extract below will
doubtless be of interest to the gen.
eral reader. A correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, writing from St.
Louis, says:
1t is we'll known that in the Bal
timore Convention In 1864, the Mis-
souri, delegation, being opposed to
Lincoln, cast their votes for General
Grant for the Presidency. This is
singular condition of things for 1864,
compared to the status of 1867, for it
cannot be truly said that the Rad
icals now favor General Grant as their
first choice. Still it is evident to
all thinking minds here that General
Grant will be the Republican nom
inee for 1868. As it is useless to re-
sist this movement, our Missouri
Radicals are one by one acqulesclng
in the necessity, and declaring for
Grant as the coming man. 1t is un-
derstood Senator Henderson is a
hearty supporter of General Grant,
and that he proposes to make a speech
in this city short y, favorable to his
acceptance Is the Radical candidate.
There is every probability that ere
sixty days have rolled around there
will be Grant Club in every ward in
St. Louis In the interior the senti-
ment IN favor of General Grant is
even more unanimous than in st.
Louis"
TIE GRANT meeting in the old
Cradle of Liberty = Faneuil Hall,
Boston-was large, enthusiastic and
in every way great success. OF it the
AdUertiser says:
1t was large. enthusiastic, and

man being forty FIVE, this makes the

A young Beginner" in Oxford County has
written us requesting our opinion as to the
utility of chip dirt deposited around apple and
other fruit trees. Our answer is that if the
trees stand on grounds that are under cultiva-
ton, it would not be advisable to apply that
sort of dressing to the soil about the roots, as
it is apt to be the home of noxous vermin
and to contain the larvae of insects which will
infest the trees and growing crops. But if they
stand in sward land quite bound out. Such
an application will make a good mulching
which will keep the soil loose and moist-an
important desideratum for health and growth
of the trees. Of course chip dirt in due time
decomposes and becomes a natural fertilizer Of
the soil. By the application of lime or ashes,
however, most of the larvae and vermin may
be destroyed the first season, and therefore the
dressing may not be injurious but serviceable
to vegetation.
