It is stated that many Southern planters
and overseers have applied to the English
Cotton Supply Association for employment
in the cotton culture, in any region where
they can be made available. The apPli-
cants are represented to be men of charac-
ter and position. Ruin and bankruptcy
have forced them to this alternative. The
offer was discussed at the last meeting of
the association, but the result Of the delb-
Grafton is not given. The present iniqui-
tous tax on cotton is a premium to the for
eign culture, and positive prohibition of
the domestic growth, the result of which,
in the exhibits of the balance of trade
against US, will soon be apparent even to
the malignant haters Of Southern ProsPeri-
ty, with whom TIE tax originated as a pun
ishment and blight.

I AN DYING.

The following beautiful poem we copy
from the Memphis Bulletin. It is rarely
we find such contributions TO the columns
Of newspaper. It is sweehy, beautifully
sad:
Raise my pillow, husband dearest
Faint and fainter comes my breath:
And these shadows stealing slowly
Must, know, be those of Death
Sit down close beside me darling,
Let me clasp your W arm strong hand,
Yours that ever has sustained me
To the borders of this land.
For your God and nine-onr Father
Thence shall ever lead me on :
Whers upon a throne eternal,
Sits his loved and only Son,
Ise had visions and been dreaming
Ger the past Of joy and pain
ear by year I've wandered backward
Till was child again.
Dreaming of girlhood, and the moment
When l stood your wife and bride,
How my heart thrilled Loves triumph,
In that hour Of wOman's pride.
Dreaming of thee and all the earsh-ehords
Firmly twned about my heart
Oh the bitter burning anguish,
When I first knew we must part
1t has past and God has promised
All thy footsteps to attend;
He that's more than friend or brother.
He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow Ger the portals,
Leading to my heavenly home
Christ has promised life immortal,
And tits he that bids NE come.
When life's trials await around thee,
And its chilling pillows swell
Thou't thank heaven that Pm spared them,
ThOu'lt then feel that ''all is we'll"
Bring our boys unto my bedside
My last blessing let them keep
But they're sleeping--dO not wake them;
They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often oftheir mother
Kiss them for me when they wake,
Lead them gently IN lifes pathway,
Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, ray darling,
This, the last night of my life
For tomorrow shall never
Answer, when you call me ''wife."
Fare thee well, my noble husband,
Faint not meath the chast' ming rod
Throw yOLr strong arm around our children,
Keep them close to thee-and God.

Carolina, a Mr.. Mott, of Virginia, said:
81 have a man in my eye who, when
Richmond fell. had due him but $50; he
rented farm for 500, and bought him

essary for cutting, threshing and getting up

GEN. S. 2. BUCKNER RECEIVERS HIS
PROPERTY
From the Louisville Courier.

From The Louisville Courier
In 1861 while the Confederate army was
at Bowling Green. the Louisville and Nash
vile Railroad Company instituted a suit, ac-
compapied BY an affidavit BY its President,
Mr. Guthrie. that Gen. Buckner, had de
stroyed the splendid bridge that spanned
Green river. and slleged that, he being in
the Rebel army, his property vas subject 20
attachment to cover the damages. Under
the shameful laws enacted by the Legisla-
ture in 1861, the attachments were levied
upon all his estate in Kentucky. consisting
of an elegant residence, three stories high,
with seventy three feet front Oh Sixth street,
and running through the entire square, with
equal front on Center street; house and
two lots in Elizabethtown, farm of some
hundreds of acres, being his ancestral home,
in Hart county; and his library and furni-
ture, and large amount of other personal
property. Without any process being serv-
ed upon him, verdict was obtained, under
the statutes then existing, Of more than six
ty thousand dollars. The residence and
the farm were sold by the Marshal, and pur-
chased by the railroad company, who paid
for it by giving Gen. Buckner credit on
their judgement. The personal property
was also sold. and the proceeds paid to the
railroad. By his parole, General Buckner,
after the war, was not permi.ed to return
to Kentucky, but about six months ago, by
attorney, be filed a pleading in the nature
Of petition and answer, asking to be made
party to the suit, and alleging that he did
not destroy the bridge, but had he done so
be would be justified, by the laws Of war.
A retrial was ordered. Various prelimina-
ry questions were met by additional prep
aration. After two arguments the case W as
submitted for final judgment, but before the
Chancellor had given his opinion the rail
road company agreed to surrender to Gen
Buckner his property which they held, and
on yesterday. Colonel R. W Woolby; for
General Buckner, took possession of the
Louisville estate, and is authorized to enter
upon the Hart county property. 1t was
also agreed that the question of rents and
profits due to Gen. Buckner, ard some mon
eys expended by the railroad company in
removing liens and making improvements
should be referred for adjustment to the
Commissioner of the Court, to report the
accounts between the parties, and General
Buckner, agreed not to institute a subse-
quent suit for damages because of the at
/ tachmeut.
There are many friends of this dis:in-
gentleman who will rejoice to learn that he
has recovered his estate.

One of the most remarkable exhibitions
of dePraved and wicked malignity of
heart which has ever arrested our attention
is to be seen in the manner in which the
news going up from the South Of its ruin
and desolation is received by the Northern
Radical press. It does not suit them, and
is against the prestige of party, and so they
ignore or deny-even denouucing as false,
the official statements of facts. The ne
gro has been reduced by them almost to a
condition of starvation. and is not to blame
for it. 1t is their work. And now they
shut their eyes to the facts, perversely deny
them, aud prefer leaving the negroes to in
tense suffering, to taking any efficient steps
for their relief. Can anything indicate
character of men worse than this, who are
without honor or sympathy, even for those
they have reduced to dependence on them
selves ?-Ledg9r.

Boiled Peas f5r Milk COWS and Hoe.

Boiled Peas for Milk Cows and Hogs.
A correspondent of the Richmond Farm
err says boiled peas, as food for milk cows,
is far superior to anything else he has seen
tried. He firmly believes that two bushels
of peas are far superior to, or worth more
to fatten hogs, o: TO increase the milk of
cows, than three bushels of corn applied
to the same objects. In experimenting he
has found that hogs not only fatten doubly
as fast, but the improvement of their gem
eral condition was in like proportion. With
respect to COWS, lie says the effect was in
ten days to double the yield of milk. His
plan in using them was to soak them in wa
ter twelve hours or through the night, be-
fore boiling them. By this process their
bulk was doubled and consequently they
required less boiling. Besides this advan-
tage, he found the soaked pea 10 be an ex-
cellent substitute for green food, having
not only the effect on stock produced by
tugnips, carrots and beets, in improving
their appetite. general appearance and milk
ing properties, but imrarts none of the bad
taste to the milk which is so often derived
from the use of the green crops referred to.
It was, moreover, found to exhibit fatten-
ing qualities almost equal to the boiled pea.
He concludes by saying he regards the
soaked pea for food in winter as decidedly
superior to all root crops, and recommends
that his brother farmers should lose no time
in ties ting its value in their own practice.

The Brave Wife Of an Ignoble Husband.
Some weeks ago Fred Douglass, the ia
nous niger, made a speech in West Ches-
ter, Pennsy lvania, to a mob of blacks aud
others. Previous to his arrival, Hon. John
Hickman, member elect to the Assembly,
invited the sable orator to make him visit
and consider his house a home during his
stay, which invitation Fred only accepted &.
Hickman at once put his best chamber in
order and made extensive preparations for
his guest, in spite of all that his wife could
do or say. But she bided her time. A
woman, especially when she Is in the right
is never without her resources. So, when
the great Douglass was announced, and
with hat in hand, was making his most Ella
borate bow, she met him at the door and
peremptoFily ordered him out of the house
He did not ''stand upon the order Of his
going, but went at once!' Long may Mrs.
Hickman rule the mistress of her house !;
and, in the good time coming, when women
get their rights" may she be sent to the
Assembly by the voters of West Chester
in the place Of her unworthy husband. Bull
ly for Mrs. Hickman Soulhern Opin-
ion.

Old Deacon Sharp never Told lie, bu

Old Deacon Sharp never Told lie, but
he used to relate this: He was standing.
one day, beside frog pond-we have his
word for it-and saw large garter snake
make an attempt upon an enormous big bull
frog. The snake seized one of the frog s
hind legs. and the frog, to be on par with
his snake ship, caught him by the tail, and
both commenced swallowing one another
until nothing was left of them.
