YARMOUTH, the interloping carpet
bagging Governor of Louisiana, few
weeks since issued Radical campaign
document, in the shane of letter TO
the President, Justify calling for the
aid of the Federal military, and assign
ing as a reason therefor the fact ~ that
no Hess than one hundred and. fifty
cold-bloodcd murders OF, ,"trooly loir'
citizens, black and white, have been
perpetrated within the limits of four
parishes of the State inside Ofsix weeks.
The statement was branded as a false
hood at the time it was made, and sub
sequent facts conclusively prove it to be
sRch. The agents of the Freedmen's
Bureau, who would not be likely to
lessen the number of these murders, in
their tri-monthly reports, state that
during the six weeks named by War
mouth, the number of murders was Just
fourteen (enough in oil conscience,) or
one hundred and thirty-six less than
Yarmouth asserted. This spoils an
other Radical campaign document
spikes another Radical pop-gun. Let
US have peace.

IL a war of races does not take place
in the South, it will not be the fault Of
the 'carpet-baggers" and their North
ern allies. They harangue the negroes
in loyal league lodges, and the effect Of
their teachings crops ont when the
blacks assemble in public gatherings.
The negroes Of Webster county, Geor-
gia, lately held meeting at which
their leader told them they "would in.
herit third of the lands in America,
and they would have to pass through 4
bloedy war to accomplish it. Christ
mas is the time set apart for the con-
flict to commence. That the whites and
negroes could not live together; that
separation must take place" When
these declarations were made the audi
ence shouted, Separation now; don't
wait until Christmas; We want it now"
Such advice is well calculated to bring
the whites and negroes in collision, and
yet the Radicals will give it, in order,
if possible, to use the negroes 10 the
coming election.

NOTWITHSTANDING the repeated ap-
peals of Democratic journals and ora
tors, and the imperative demand of the
people, that the Radicals shall give an
honest, open, straightforward account
of the manner in which they have spent
the t,oelre hundred millions of dollars
which the Radical tax-gatherer has
wrung from the pockets of the people
during the last three years, they have
utterly failed to respond. This is a
most cowardly evasion of one Of the
lirest issues of the campaign. That this
appalling sum has been collected. in the
shape of revenue, the official records de-
clare. But what disposition has been
made of it. To what purpose has it
been appropriated What portion of it
has been applied to the payment Of the
national debit These are questions that
demand definite solution. The Radi-
Gals may endeavor to eyade them, but
the people will not be satisfied with
such sinking. The money is-or was
theirs. They gave it. however unwil-
lingly, and it is their right to know
and they will know what use has been
made of it.

The early Goodrich potato has fol
some year or two created quite a sensa
ton; but q new variety, called the
early Rose," has stepped in to throw
it in the shade. This Early Rose ma
lures from ten days to two weeks ear
lier than the Goodrich. A committee
of farmers Investigated the potato crop
ofthe Early Rose variety of Mr.. joan y
Thompson, Staten Island, this season
and made n favorable report. The
yield was one bushcl for every twenty
six hills, or 55S els bushels per acre
Some of tho potatoes weighed three tC
three and half pounds each. The re-
port says:
"Mr. Thompson purchased enc peck o
these potatoes last spring, from which
he cut 920 sets. They were planted II
rows three feet apart and one hundred
aud eight feet long, the hills being
sixteen inches from each other. Foul
quarts of ashes were applied to cacl
row three times during the season
This was the oSly kind Of compost 81
manure furnished them. A mess of the
potatoes was cooked for the committee
and all the members were delighted
with their mealy and nutritious charac
ter"
The original seed was accidentally
discovered in Rutland county, VT, in
1861; Seeding attracted the farmers
attention, and he cultivated it carefully
making snch experiments with severa
crops as satisfied him of its superiority
He ultimately made it so famous that &
gentleman in Utica, n. Y, gave him
$4,000 for l2O bushels. We tell the
tale as We find it in the New York Com
mercidl.
The editor of this paper tried th'
Early ROse," this season and he has
found it by far the earliest and best po'
tato grown. 1t is indeed valuable ad
dition to our varieties Of the potato.

DID not the editor of the Mtelligencer

rate nominations" in this county last

that he was lying: And does ne have

The workingmen will remember how
faithfully the REGISTER warned them
not to be caught in that transparent
Radical trap, by which that party
hoped to demoralize the splendid Dem
ocratic organization of Ohio county
and thus reduce or wipe out our rapidly
increasing majority. The Democrats
being largely in the majority in The
county could have no incentive for at
tempting a coalition with any other or
ganization.
The fact is, and the editor Of the
Intelligencer appreciates it, that the in
terests and the hspes of the laboring
man, the man who earns the money
which pays the taxes under Radical
rule, are all with and in the Demo-
cratic party. He knows that the Rad

lazy negroes that the latt0r's vote may

invented and enforces this system;
compels every man who earns his
bread by work to vote with the
Democracy this once for change even
if he have no sympathy with the polit-

that makes the man lie so; or are he

Feed Economically.

Farmers can make money by feeding
their stock economically, as we'll as in
growing crops, as wasted fodder is
money thrown away. Much can be saw
ed by cutting corn stalks and oat straw
with good cutter, the best being the
cheapest, and if run by horse power the
cutting can be done very fast. and at o
time when your horses are not wanted
for other work. We use cutter on our
farm that is geared to run by the same
horse power that we thresh with, and
enough can be cut in two hours to last
our stock week.
There are various ways to prepare
cut fodder for stock, according to the
facilities that farmers have. Seine have
steaming apparatus, which cooks the
fodder, and then it is mixed with corn
meal, or oats and corn ground together,
and fed warm. Others merely wet the
cut fodder, as the meal is mixed with it.,
and feed in that way. If, on trial, it be
found that stock will not eat the bats of
corn stalks, with or without meal, it is
not advisable to waste time in cutting
them. Some cattle eat butts Of corn stalks,
when mixed with meal cold, and some
will not.
Some farmers cut their hay also, and
mix meal with it; but it is question
whether it will pay to do it, except in
cases of great scarcity of hay, when it is
advisable to have every portion of it
eaten.
Probably, taking farmers generally,
about one-third OF the entire fodder of the
farms is wasted by over feeding at ir.
regular hours, or by carelessness in al.
lowing it to get under the feet Of stock,
and then go with the bedding. Far.
ners should lay down their rules, in re.
gard to feeding stock, to hired help,
aud see that they are Obeyed. Franklin
said, "a penny saved is two pence clear,
and so it is.
Remember that warm stables, and
other shelter for stock, save o certain
portion of fodder; and as hay, &C., is
money, the farmer who lets his stock run
in his fields, to be fed from stacks Of hay,
and to lie upon the ground in such
fields, as is often done, may just as well
take money ont CT his pocket daily,
and scatter it over his fields, rs to keep
stock in that way.
A rule that every farmer should ad.
here to is, to keep no more stock than
can be kept well. If stabling and
warm sheds be wanting, wait till you
are able to build them, before you in
crease your live stock beyond your abil.
ity to keep them in warm quarters, and
to feed them well.

perhaps. That's 500 feet high. Take

ALI hail the fiaunting lie!
The stars grow pale and dim;
The stripes are bloody scars
A lie, the vaunting hymn.
It shields q pirates deck,
1t binds q man in chains,
1t yokes the captive's neck,
And wipes the bloody stains.
Tear down the Haunting he.-
Half.mast the starry flag,
Insult no sunny sky,
With hates polluted rag,
Destroy it ye who cam
Deep sink 1t in the waves.
1t bears fellow-man,
To groan with fellow-slaves.
Furl, furl the boasted lie!
Till Freedom lives again,
To rule once more in truth,
Among untrammeled men.

Conceal the bloody stains;
For in its folds are seen
The clank ofrustling chains.
