The Advantage of High Culture and
Good Produce

Looking over that admirable and
practical little work, "Squashes, and
How to Grow Them" by Gregory, OF
Marblehead, we felt interested in his re-
marks on the effects of bountiful adGi-
tions of manure. Small doses Of ma
nure are thrown away. 1t is the heavy
applications that pay. He has used q
cords of mar ure per acre with advantage,
and gives the following scale of profits
ouf 'cOrus yIeIu prom u SIo - PoL
acre; cords give profit of S52 %, and
in the same proportion up to ten CORDS
per acre. Moreover, the quality of the
product is greatly increased, and this is
no small item when webring our produce
to ma rket. Looking over the reports
a few weeks ago We found that owners
of cattle were paid from s. to Sll per
cwt. for animals of different qualities
the very gosd being worth more than
twice as much as the very bad. Now 1t
is not at all possible that any amount
of care and feeding could ever bring up
the 81 cattle to Sll standard, but 1t Is
unUuestionably true that it would take
them long way on the road to such a
desirable cOnsummatlOn. And, aside
from manure, it is in this difference OF
value that the profits of feeding stock
chiefly consist. The man that buys
stock in poor condition, and sells it
when fattcned, gets not only the adj
vanced price for all the beef he puts on,
but he gets tho amount Of the ddrdnce on
all he bought in the first instance.
So, too, with the product of grain,
Look over the quotations of wheat, and
see the enormous difference in price
depending upon quality. Even i'll the
coarser grains the difference is marked
and a poor sample of oats does not
bring as much as a good sample, neither
does it sell as freely.

Hard Times in New England.

The Springfield Republican thus al
ludes to the hard times now pressing on
the people of New England:
Scarcity of work, decline in wages,
thousands out of employment, other
thousands earning barely enough to
keep body and soul together-these are
some of the prevailing facts in theclties
and manufacturing towns, that mark
this as hard winter, and we fear it
will prove much the hardest since
the W.. ccsnlHTepced. The skilled ar
tisans, who have been receiving wages
in proportion to the increased
cost of living, for the past six years,
have saved something, and will not be
brought to any actual distress by few
months of idleness or half work. Not
so the common day labOrers. They have
nothing to fall back upon when out OF
work, in most cases. Happily, now
ever, there is no general hnanclal
break down and suspension of business.
In some departments OF labor there
is a temporary pause, in Others
contraction of both work and wages,
but still the large majority are en-
ployed and are earning a comfortable
taxation And Il tne "EG5ef sxPsHse 81 tee gov
ernment, by establishing the national
finances on a secure and permanent ba-
sis, and by giving the South an oppOr-
tunity to recover itself from the desc
lation of the war, shall restore conf
dence to commercial circles, we may
reasonably expect revival of business
in the early Spring.

Trick Of the Boudho oiders,

Senator Sherman has introduced into
Congress a bill to hoodwink the people
and fasten upon them q direct pledge
to pay the entire National debt in gold
He proposes to lift all the bonds now
out, and issue new ones, all to be paya-
BILE in coin ut any time after ten, aud
within forty years. The bill also pro-
vides that the bondholders shall be tax
able neither on their bonds, nor on the
income which they derive therefrom.
To hoodwink the people into an APPROX
al of this measure, n clause Is intro
duced into the bill providing that one
per cent. of the interest (Which also is
to be payable in gold, shall be retained
by the general government-one-halt
thereof to constitute sinking fund, and
the other half to be distributed among
the States in liel of taxes. The design
of this provision is obvious. 1t Is III
tended as bait to deceive the people,
But the cheat is transparent. The
amount which is to be paid back to the
States, does Lot come from the bond
holders, h"t 10 taken from the pockets
of the people, so it is they, and not the
bondholders, who pay the amount which
is to be distributed to the States in lieu
of taxes on the bonds. And in return
for this humbug bondholding benefi-
cence to the States, Senator Sherman
proposes to fasten upon the people neu
contract with the bondholder, in which
the tax payers Of the country shall
stand pledged to pay gold for the mil,
lions of bonds which were issued with
out any such pledge or Intention II
Congress dares to pass such an infamous
law in the very face of the greenback
sentiment which prevails all over the
land, ultimate repudiation will then
for the first time be rendered probable
Let bondholders beware.

One Handful of Hay

Is small matter; one handful q day
for six months makes q pretty large
bundle; twenty handfuls day for six
months make quite a stack; if each
handful weighs a pound, the stack will
equal 1850 pounds, or more than II tons,
worth about S22, at Sl2 ton; or $50 80,
at $40 a ton. How many farmers,
keeping twenty animals, allow each 70
waste handful or pound ofhay day
for want of little attention to the
feeding arrangements! A few straws at
time, dropped herSand there, and
trampled under the feet, will soon make
. handful, and we have seen above what
the handfuls amount to. This is small
matter, says one, but upon just such
small matters depends mans success
or failure. One man attends to them,
and at the end of twenty or thirty years
has competence for old age; another
neglects them, and is always behind
hand-be lives and dies, short in the
pocket. snd short in comfort.

RY srH, 1865, at 10 o'clock A. N. It's recon-
mended that two delegates, and rs many alter

Your Committee call this Convention in view
of the existing necessity for a prompt anu
thorough organization Of all the elements OF oP-
position to Radicalism in our midst. The glori-
ou results of the late elections in other States,
and the evident decline of the Radical cause in

The Committee deem it proper to add that, in
addition to other business, the State Convention
will choase four Delegates at large TO represent
West Virginia ia the next Democratic National
Conventions it will also nominate two Sena-

Letters from the People.
FROM MARSHALL COUNTY.
MoUNDsvILLE, MARSHALL COUNTY,
WEsr VIRGINIA. January ID. 1868.

MoUNDsvILLE, MARSHALL COUNTY,
WEST VIRGINIA, January I'd, 1868. !
Editor of the Register.
There is in this community at pres
ent very unpleasant and embarrassing
state of affairs existing, growing out of
the failure on the part of the Peniten-
tiary officers to pay the workmen, or at
least that part of them who furnished
stone for that building. These men
have not been paid for three months,
and cannot now get any satisfactory as
surance when they will be paid. They
are industrious, good citizens, most
of them possessed of but moder-
ate means, and they have been
compelled to procure the necessaries of
life for themselves and families, and
feed for their teams from the farmers
and merchants upon short credit,
promising to pay monthly, as they were
to be paid each month by the men who
employed them. You will readily per-
ceive, Mr.. Editor, the very unpleasant
dilemma that these workmen are placed
in. Their creditors are urging them for
settlement of accounts; they are un-
able to settle, for they have failed to
get what is justly due them from
these public agents. 1t is obvious
then that these men who run
this penitentiary machine down here
have been guilty of practicing a fraud
upon this community. They employ
the lsborer to work for the State, and
promise to pay him monthly, knowing
at the same time that there are no funds
in the State treasury or in their hands
to do so. By this deception and wrong
dealing, many of our citizens have been
placed in a very embarrassing situa-
tion, pecuniarily. And now these sharp
ers and spectators at the penitentiary,
true to their natural instincts, go to
work and try to take advantage of a ne
cessity they themselves brought about,
by false promises. They now propose
to buy up these claims at discount of
eleven and half per cent. on the dol
lar. The claimants, however, be 1t said
to their praise, shun and reject this
most unjust proposition. They have
performed, faithfully and well, their
part of the contracts, and am sure they
never will suffer themselves to be
wronged in this manner. They will
not allow these public officials
to deprive honest industry and toll
of its Just and fair reward. Has
the State, by its agents, opened up
regular brokers' Office at the peniten-
tiaryi This whole transaction looks
very much like it, and if these officials
can buy up all the claims that the peo-
pie here have against the State at a
discount of eleven per cent. it will be
quite a snug little piece of tinanciering,
if the funds used belong to
the public. MARSHALL.
