Green Manuring.

Vegetable substances in their green and sue
culent state are powerful fertilizers when
thoroughly Incorporated. with the soil. The
most pertinent explanation of this fact is fur
nished by the consideration that they supply
the identical elements that future crops require;
in the same manner that out of the material of
one house. another may be elaborated, and it is
true that many of these materials exist in such
unity and affinity, as render them especially
adapted for the nutrition of the future crop, for
it is recognized truth in physiology, that both
animals and plants take up and assimilate from
their food portion of their bulk in the precise
form in which it exists in that food.
The practice of growing crops for the special
purpose of blowing in as manure for succeed
ing crops is not justified by this consideration
merely 1t would seem to be waste of time
and material to convert the elements of vegeta-
BILE growth into living forms twice before they
are made profitable. Why grow lupin or clo-
yer plant in one season to be buried, in order
that from its remains cabbage or turnip, may
be produced? Why if you build house, do you
not fetch the materials direct from the quay !
These questions would be unanswerable did
plants obtain all their food from the SOIL But
such is not the case. A great portion OF the
bulk of the green crops is obtained from atmos-
pheric source; and, after green crop is ploughed
in the soil necessarily contains more of the Or
canc elements essential to vegetable nutrimeut
than it did before that crop was grown; it is
richer, in fact, by the carbon, oxygen, hydrogen
and nitrogen, which the green crop has obtained
from sources independent of the soil In like
manner, the crop grown after green crop has
been in, the advantage of ready supply of min
eral elements which have been worked up by the
roots of the fertilizing crop from the soil and SUBJ
soil, and which in many instances, owing to their
solubility, are with difficulty obtained under or
dinary circumstances.

REORGANIZATION Of the Military Districts.

The following order has been issued from the
War Department
The Commanding Generals of the Second,
Third Fourth and Fifth Military Districts hay
ing officially reported that Arkansas, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Ala
bama and Florida have complied with the recon-
struction acts, including the act of June 18th,
! 1868, and that, consequently, so much ofthe act
of March End, 1863, and all acts supplementary
thereto, providing for Military Districts subject
to the military authority Of the United States, as
therein, provided have become imperative in said
States and the Commanding Generals have
ceased exercising military powers conferred by
said acts
Therefore, the following changes will be
made in the organization and command of the
Military Districts, and G geographical Departments:
The list, End and Bird Military Districts hav-
ing ceased to exist, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Alabama, Georgia and Florida will con-
stitute the Department of the South, General
NJ eade to command, with Headquarters at At
lanta, Ga.
End Gen. Gillem will command the Fourth
Military District, comprising Mississippi.
Sd Gen. Reynolds will command the Fifth
Military District, comprising Texas, with Head
quarters at Austin.
4th Louisiana and Arkansas will constitute
the Department Of Louisiana -Gen. Rousseau
commanding, with Headquarters at New Orleans.
Gen. Buchanan will continue in command, until
relieved by Gen. Rousseau.

seau in the Department of Columbia.

pas- The Orangeburg S. c. News mentions
the following as the labor plan adopted by Mr.
James E. Moss, of that district 1t is said to be
the best that has yet been tried: The hands on
the place are supplied with seed and as much
land as they desire to plant, and the use of all
the work animals and implements on the place,
and are allowed to keep such poultry, hogs, &c,
they can raise about their quarters; and in re-
turn, they work four days for their employer,
and then two for themselves. By this system,
there is no difficulty about the division of the
crops, and many ether advantages will suggest
themselves to practical planter. Ofcourse, the
employer makes such advances as the hands re-
quire and is repaid out of their respective crops
In this particular, no profit is charged on the
advances and only such interest as the employer
himself pays, if he has to tax his credit to obtain
the supplies from others.

FALSE IMPRESSIONS IN THE NORTH
When Northern msn takes up the New York
Tribune, or other Radical papers he is too apt
to be misled by the correspondence from the
South. He may be led to imagine that those
columns upon columns of falsehoods are written
by the Northern men who have come South since
the war; to cast their lot among us and to work
for their living like the communities in which
they have settled. There never was a greater
mistake-those letters are written by the men
from the North, who have come down here to
plumber our people. Some are composed to or
der in the Offices of the papers themselves; and
some are the illusions of those few native Radi,
Gals who are able to write.
We put the Northern people on their guard
against the supposition that our real citizens in
our midst from the North would write such in
famous lies.-NortoM Journal

VIOLATION OF THE SABBATH-The Jaco-
bins in Congress following close upon the exam
pie of the French Jacobins, who, in effect, abol-
ished the Sabbath so for as it laid in puny human
hands to do so, deliberately determined the day
of their adjournment as to give them pretense
of necessity for holding session, for the first
time, we believe, in our history, On the Sabbath
day. Sessions of Congress have sometimes ex-
tended On Saturday night over to Sunday morn:
ing but it was not until Jacobinism in full
bloom had sway, as it now exists that the holy
Sabbath has been desecrated by an adjournment
to meet at any hour ofthat sacred day. The
people should know that the bargaining and sell
ling and huckstering of Wall street, with all its
bad passions, had full play last evening in the
lobbies of the Senate, and that the approaches
to it were thronged as upon gala day.-Nat;ono
