EGYPTIAN CORN.

sSeveral months since we informed our read
ers of the prolific qualities of the Egyptian
Corn. 1t surpasses all anticipations, and is
Just the article needed in this country. To
think that an acre of land can yield $50 bushels
of good corn, and particularly when two crops
can be gathered i'll a year, seems to be SO ex
aggerated that it requires the many indorse-
ments of the Press in general, and the best
and most reliable men of Virginia to give it
full belief
We have received some of the corn from MI.
Lindsey. The sample is a beautiful one.

the Senate Court voted upon the second
and thir, articles of impeachment, and the
President was acquitted by the same vote
as upon the eleventh article, viz: 10 against

On the SAM day, after the acquittal of

OF the 21st of February last, declaring that
he had no power to remove the Secretary

EGYPTIAN CORN.

which. upon trial. was found to ripcn, planted
even the last of July. 1t is estimated. from its
very prolific qualities, to yield $50 bushels per
acre, and weighs, by sealed measure, G3 pounds
to the bushvl-This corn was produced by
some procured direct from Mr.. Jones, our con-
sular agent, directly on his return from Egypt.
1t needs no different culture from that of
other varieties, and i'll tie South two crops can
be- raised in one season on the SAINT, ground.
1t grows in the form of a tree. and tnilty-foul
ears have grown upon one stock, and will
average from five to fifteen. For domestic
use it is unparalleled. When ground and prop
trly bottled, it is equal in color and tinrness TO
wlratcn flour. As a forage crop, by sowing
in drills, or broadcast, for early feed, there is
no kind of corn so we'll adapted to miIrh COWS,
and none that will yield half the value in stalk
or corn.
1t can be successfully grown in any State.

To Young Men.

To the young men that are rising up, let me say word. No better time than now was ever known to cast your fortunes with the Democratic party. It has seized upon the great forward progressive issue. Its history is full of glory in the past. Faults it has had who has noty Parties are not infalible, any more than men, but its banner is one of proud renown. Sixty odd years ago it took your country on the inauguration of Jefferson. Under its lead of progress, the map of empire has been unrolled. State after State has been en- braced in it's loving arms, star has blazed out upon its flag, the Mississippi Valley has been crossed, the Rocky Mountains have been sealed and the colors of the Democratic party planted on the coast of the Pacific. But let us not seek the ven geance of hate. The worst names recor- ded by history as illustrations of human depravity, are those that, in the hour of victory in spirit of destretion. Whose names so hateful as the Mariues, the Negroes, the Scyllas, the Tiberius and Robespierres And hereafter when the calm historian records the deeds of Butler, the malignant; or Bingham, the prosecutor of woman, he will record them simply to instruct the rising youth what examples to avoid; and those that have taught forgiveness and reconciliation in this hour, in the spirit of the great Master of the skies, will be spoken of as statesmen, and the benefactors of mankind.--Speech of Dan Voorhees,, at New Albany, Ind.

GEORGIA TO LoUIsIANA.-Apropos the inauguration of the Radical States government, the: e.:Macon, Ga, Journal and Messenger exclaims:
 Unfortunate little Louisiana Ten years ago you were one of the most bril- liant jewels in the American Union Your plantations were Edens of beauty, luxury and wealth. Your children were of the highest type of all the descendants of the Latin races. Coming down from the French, and they from the Romans, you could boast of blood which governed the world when Augustine's footballs echoed through the corridors of the palaces of the Caesars.
 Hannibal and his minions have indeed despoiled your land and sacked your city, and you have no noble old Cato to cry "Delenda est Carthage" But you have the warm, gushing sympathy of every Southerner who, like you, is now writhing under the galling chains of an infamous despotism.

THAT RADICAL HowL.--The Rads are making jackasses of themselves by bowling over the presence of Forrest, Wade Hamp- ton and other rebel soldiers in the Demo cratic Convention As if that were not the very thing the American people have been longing for since Lee laid down his arms at Appomattox Courthouse, and Grant declared the loyalty of the South genuine and complete.
 Do these noodles suppose the American people want Union restored with the Southern leaders left out 2 Do they sup pose it can be restored if they are left out, or that their places can be filed by blacks, carpet-baggers and traitols to both North and South, like Joe Brown, of Georgia, at Chicago TN Y World

 Great Inducements to
 MAKE UP CLUBS. Best Family Paper in Arkansas.
 The CITIZEN is presented to the people of Arkansas as large in form as any Dem ocratic weekly in the State. Although independent in all thingssand neutral in nothing, it is emphaticallya
 FAMILY NEWSPAPER. And now ranks as one of the first in the State. The greatest care will be taken to make it's selections choice and instructive. A new feature will soon be added by pub fishing story each week, or if too long, running it through two or three numbers. The political complexion of the Citizen is white-opposed to negro suffrage and a score of other Radical tenets, and while opposing them shall advocate the principle that white men should rule white men. In times of great political danger every I man should take paper, and it is more than probable that the present year will witness more political excitement and ex- traordinary political events than any pre- 1 vious one of our nationality. Let the people assist the CITIZEN by joining in I and making up clubs, and they will there l by render it powerful auxiliary in their warfare against hateful negro suffrage and the many other evils the Radical party design thrusting upon the State.
