GEN. HANCooK's visit to Texas is
said to have worked great change in
him, and fears are entertained by
some of his Conservative friends that
he may becom3 a rank Radical. A
private letter from him to a friend in
New York, couched IN terms whereof
some of Sheridan's letters appear to
have been taken as guides, iB5imates,
in fact plumply says, that he has " got
a belly full . of the sort Of Unionism
which Mr.. johnson and the Democ-
racy are endeavoring TO build on.

Gardening in Southern Louisiana.
FOR JULY.

But little can be done at gardening till
September, 80.
Gardens in July and August in this
country are apt to be considerably neg

thing may be done in gardens every
month in the year.

potatoes should dig them. They keep

the dry ground, under a building that

ground. Any dry, cool place will do il

Cabbage seeds should be sown on the
full moon of this month, and August and
September. Old turf, thrown in a pile
and we'll rotted should be used, mixed
with old manure and rotten leaves and
fresh vegetable mould. Scatter a little
moss over the seed bed, and keep the
surface moist by watering it in the eve
ming late. Never water in the morning
Plant squashes, and snap and pole
beans in rich and mellow soil, and after
they come up keep the ground stirred
around them to the depth of an inch
Always stir the soil, as soon after a rain
as the soil will pulverize.
Plant COW peas. They run to vine

ed late in the season.
Plant tomato seeds, in seed beds like
cabbage seeds, for a second crop.
If the season prove favorable water
melon and musk melon seeds may be
planted this month, and produce healthy
and good melons.
Sugar corn, and even the common
corn Of the country, may be planted this
month and next, for roasting ears.
Lady peas may now be planted, and
will do well.
On every fresh, new land, where brush
piles have been burned, Dutch and ruta

TIE NEW YORK LEDGER.
FOR 1868

The reason that the NEW YORK LED
GER has the largest circulation is that it is the
BEST PAPER. Why should it not have the
largest circulation More labor, more talent,
more money, are bestowed upon it than upon
any other paper. It's moral tone is always
pure and elevated. The rule on which the
LEDGER is conducted, is to get the best OF
everything. The public recognize this fact ;
and it is from their desire to obtain the very
best paper that they give the LEDGER the
preference; hence its unparalleled and unap-
preached circulation, being over three hun
dred thousand copies.

nent authors will continue to write for the

SeyanO ur VS.. Radicals.

To the Editor @Me N. O. Tines
Where was the Society to Prevent CRU
city to Beasts" when Seymour, in his
address to the Democratic Convention,
was permitted to use his broad scalpel
on every trembling limb of Radicalism ?
Allow me to state two facts, and then
record a prediction which I ask you to
preserve till after the November election.
When MI. Polk and MI. Clay ran, the
writer of this gave a list of States to a
friend, (Dr. Young, of Nashville,) giving
fifteen States to Polk-enough to elect
him-and nine to Clay, the balance
doubtful. He was not mistaken in a
single State.
When Scott and Pierce ran, he made
out a similar statement, giving Pierce
tw%enty-one States, and Scott three bal
ance doubtful. Scott got four. The on
ly mistake he made was in giving New
Jersey, his residence, to Scott, which he
did not get.
He now makes the following predic-
ton Seymour-New York, Pennsylva-
MIA, New Jersey, Connecticut, New
Hampshire, Ohio, Indiana. Illinois, Vir-
ginia, West Virginia, Missouri, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi,
Georgia, North Carolina, Maryland, Del
aware, Louisiana, Texas, California, Or
egon-23 States.
Grant-Vermont, Rhode Island, Mich
igan-3 States. 8sfH
Balance doubtful.
Please keep this estimate. The wri-
ter, though never a politician, was the
first to take the result Of the election, in
1886, to Gen. jackson at the Presiden-
tial Mansion, and has been an observer
of facts eyer since.
