The negro Reconstruction Convention OF
South Carolina forms high estimate Of its
services. The Sambos who used to be glad to
get few dollars a month for working on the
cotton or rice plantations have fixed their
pay as constitution makers at eleven dollars
day and twenty cents mileage. Our white
Congressman, who get eight dollars day, will
envy these happy blacks. When the darkies
come to Congress they will undoubtedly en-
deavor to raise the dignity and emolumcnts OF
our national legislators in the same proper
ton. If q negro member Of State Convention
be worth eleven dollars day, what ought a
negro Congressman to get? Thirty dollars q
day at least How astonished these South
Carolina negroes must be with their extraor-
dinary change Of fortune They can hardly
realize whether they stand on their heads or
heels To cap the climax Of their ridiculous
presumption they should have proposed to
pay the white members Of the Convention
half what they get themselves and that, after
oil, would be only somewhat in proportion to
the estimate In which the two races are held
in the South just now. A white man may be
nearly half as good as negro.

How TO RAISE A CALF WITHOUT

give you the experince ola friend
in raising a calf. The mother Of
the calf died when it was a week
old, and not having milk to give
it, my friend made a paste of water
and -four, to which he added a lit
tie salt, an egg, and molasses
enough to sweeten the whole
which he then boiled, and when
cold fed to the calf. 1t grew fine

Cut It Short.

A lady who resides in this city
and sports herself gaily among
the fashionable ton of the me-
tropolis, wasanxious to make her
husband present On the occasion
of his birthday some weeks since,
and a dressing gown, she thought
would be a most useful 7acquist-
tion to his domestic comforts. SO
she went and purchased q fine
Persian pattern, one we'll wadded.
Not remembering the exact
height other husband, she thought
it best to purchase one rather too
long than too short, to make sure
of its usefulness. The day was
wet, her husband returned in the
afternoon and she presented him
with a new article Of comfort ;
and he fancied it indeed a great
comfort after he had put off his
wet garments, but it was ten inch
es two long.
"Oh? never mind, " said the
affectionate wife, Il can easily
shorten it to suit you"
They had party in the evening
in lower Second street and very
merry; and every one admired
the beautiful dressing gown. At
ter they had gone to bed the wind
and the rain made such q noise
that the wife could not sleep; her
husband, however snored musi-
caIly. She arose without distur-
bing him-took the dressing gown,
and commenced her work, cutting
off about the length of ten inches
to make it suit her husbands sta
ture, and then went to bed again.
In the morning she was up and
early to make some arrangements
with her housekeepe:, as several
friends were expected to dinner
that day. Scarcely had the lady
left the room, when her sister-a
good-natured old lady who lived
with them-stcpped in on tip-toe,
order not to disturb the sleeper,
took the dressing gown, and, hast
ening to her room, cut off about ten
inches, as she knew it was too
long the night before.
An hour after the gentleman
awoke, and was now anxious to
surprise his afectionate wife.
Ringing for the servant he was
told to take the dressing gown to
a tailor and have it made shorter
by ten inches. The good wife was
detained longer than she expected;
and scarcely had the dressing
gown returned from the tailor's
when she came in the room. Her
husband had just risen, and pro-
posed now to surprise his wife and
enjoy his comfort. But how sur
oIised was his better half to see
her husband in a fine Persian
pattern shooting;jacket instead
Of g comfortable dressing gown'

BLACKBERRY WINE.-There is

BLACKBERRY WINE.-There is
no wine equal to the blackberry
wine when properly made, either
in flavor or for medicinal purposes,
and all persons who can conve-
niently do so, should manufacture
enough for their own use every
wear, as it is invaluable in sickness
as a tonic, and nothing is a better
remedy for bowel diseases. We
therefore give the receipt for ma
king it, and having tried it our
selves, $50 said the correspondent
who furnished the receipt for the
Telegraph a year ago, } we speak
advisedly on the subject:
"Measure your berries an d
bruise them; to every gallon ad-
ding one quart of boiling water.
Let the mixture stand twenty
four hours, stirring occasionally
then strain off the liqnor into a
cask, to every gallon adding two
pounds of sugar: cork tight, and
let stand till the following oc-
tober, and you will have wine
ready for use without farther
straining or boiling. This makes
a most excellent and palatable
vine"

To Merchants.
AsHvILLE, n. G. June, 1868.

! AsHvILLE, n. G. June, 1868.
RESPECTED SIRs: At the solic-
itation Of a number Of Farmers in
/ this section, I intend to establish,
next Fall, at this place a Depot
for the reception and sale of such
surplus FARM PRODUCTS as
are raised here.
The Counties of Western North
Carolina produce, in abundance,
as fine Wheat and Buckwheat
Flour, Irish potatoes, Onions and
Cabbages as in any part Of the
world ; while in Apples we chal-
! lenge the world to produce equal,
in quality or quantity.
For these necessaries our South
ern neighbors send, annually,
many thousands Of dollars to the
North, not knowing that in these
Mountains these productions can
be purchased fully as cheap, and of
better quality.
By purchasing from US you
would do much towards relieving
the pecuniary distresses of the
people, and encourage our Farm
ers to cultivate those necessaries
of life moro extensively, and there.
by keep a large amount Of money
in circulation among US, which is
now sent North. At the same
time a large and profitable trade
would be opened between the
Mountains and the Merchants
| South Of US.
The necessity Of such o Depot
as I propose occurs from the fact
that large amount Of such. pro
ducts are raised in small quanti,
ties here, by impoverished Farm,
ers, who, for want OF means, can
not produce, on any one or two
farms, sufncten5 everpius to com
pensate them for the expense
and trouble of sending them so
far to market. This difficulty can
be overcome only by the estab-
lishment of a Depot near them,
where the productions Of num-
ber Of farms can be gathered to-
gether, and arrangements made
with Merchants at a distance by
which their orders may be filled
promptly, and for any quantity
This will also insure to the mer-
chants fresh, SOUND ana prime ar
ticles.
Should you feel disposed to aid
in this attempt to create recipro-
cal home markets aud thereby re-
Iieve your impoverished friends
and neighbors, you will confor a
favor by informing me what guam
titles and kinds of the above
named articles you will be likely
to want.
As Asheville is some distance
from any Railroad it is proper |
should state that all produce Or
dered from me will be delivered
to the Railroad nearest their des-
tination free Of charge.

Tribute to General Lees Mill
itary Genius.


itary Genius.
The New York Herald, to make
a sensation, says:
"a MILITARY CANDIDATE FOR
THE FOURTH OF July CONVENTION.
There are many men who take
the greatest possible interest in
the Convention, to be held here
on the Fourth, and are exceeding
ly anxious that the nominee OF
that Convention shoald be a SOL
dier-a hero Of the great war. In
opposing Grant, they say a soldier
is necessary. A record of battles
fought, difficulties overcome, ter
rible and trying ordeals gone
through, is the most tangible and
effective evidence ola mans great
qualities that can be put before
the mass of voters. There is
something in it. We only tear it's
inequality. For what sort of
show do these Democratic candi-
dates make with their records be-
side the record of Grant? They
are nearly all men who proved
impracticable, for one reason or
another, and at one time or ano-
ther, though, withal, good fight
ers, gallant and honorable gentle
men, who did noble services:
which the country must ever re-
member with grateful thoughts.
But what is Mcclellan beside
Grant in our story or what is
Hancock ? or what, is Buell.? It
is not pleasant to have to name
gentlemen who have served so
well as these in terms that seem
disparaging, yet it must be ac-
knowledged that the achieve
ments OF men of this class pale al
together before those of the SOL
-a4tte.-wtho fuaf or1sEcd the re-
belAon.
But, if the Democratic Conven-
ton must nominate o soldier-if
it must have a name identified
with the glories Of the war-we
will recommend a candidate for
it's favors. Let it nominate Gene
raj Robert E. Lee. Let it boldly
take at once the best Of all it's
soldiers, making no palaver or
apology. He is better soldier
than any of those they have
thought upon, and a greater man.
He is one in whom the military
genius of this nation finds it's full
lest development. Here, the ine-
quality will be in favor Of the
Democrats for this soldier, with
a handful of men, whom he had
moulded into an army, baf1ed our
greater Northern armies for four
years; and when opposed by
Grant. was only worn down by
that stolid strategy Of stupidity
that accomplishes its objects by
mere weight. With one-quarter
the men Grant had, this soldier
fought magnifcently across the
territory Of bis native State, and
fought his army down to stump.
There never was such an army.
Or. such a campaign, or such a
General, for illustrating the mill
tary genius and possibilities Of
our people and this General is
the best Of all for a Democratic can
didate. 1t is certain that, with
half as many men as Grant had:
he would have beaten him from
the field in Virginia, and he af-
fords the best promise Of any SOL
dier for beating him again:
