LIE, LAY.-The difficulty which many
persons find in using these words correctly
will be removed by remembering that
clay" means action and "lie - rest. The
commonest misuse of "lie," one which OBJ
tains even with cultivated people, is IN the
two phrases, one addressed to weary per-
son or an invalid " You would better go
and lie down.; the other to dog !" Lie
down, sir !" The proper verb is Z" lay :"
in both cases.-Erchange.
Oh, no. The rule is correct; the exam
pies incorrect. ellie" is the proper verb
in both the phrases quoted. Grammarians
need only to remember that "to lie " is an
intransitive verb, and "to lay q transi-
tive verb. "To lay" in all the lenses, has
an objective case after it's never properly
used without one. " To lie neUer has an
objective case after it. Therefore, Lie
down." is correct but, lay 1t down."
Also, 81 lie down.; but 81 lay me down"
The trouble is that clay" (not "to lay y
is the imperfect tense of "to lie,"-aS
"He lay like warrior taking his rest
but even here it of course has no objective
case after it.

PETERSBURG, October s, 1868

PETERSBURG, October s, 1868.
An experiment on o large scale is about
to be made in the trucking business in this
vicinity. Two northern farmers, of large
experience and sufficient capital, have
taken lease on Arrowhead, the property
of D. E. Wood, lying on Swift creek, in
Chesterfield, and will make immediate ar
rangements for planting a hundred acres in
early spring crops, such as cabbages, po-
tatoes, etc., which are all intended to be
shipped north. The Richmond and Peters
burg railroad runs along side of the farm,
which contains upwards of six hundred
acres. The soil is light and easily
worked, not unlike the Jersey soils,
to which those gentlemen have been accus-
toned. They settle here in the belief that
oil the advantages of soil ard climate are
in their favor equally with any other por-
ton of Virginia. Nor will they confne
their attention to trucking alone. The
usual grain crops Of the country will be
grown, nor will the dairy business be neg
lected. Should success attend the expert
ement, of which they are sanguine, it will
be the means of bringing about new era
in the culture of this part of the State.
Already bOue u iAe utcIplls1uS 1tSueIs
near City Point are. contemplating the in
PRODUCTION of this new feature in their ope-
rations.
Mr.. Wood has been quite successful-be-
ing northern man himself--in inducing
farmers from Pennsylvania to invest in our
lands, mostly in Chesterfield. He is look
ing for slarge influx of purchasers to come
down after the elections, prooided these
should SO the "right way" But we have
been looking for them SO long, and they
haven't come, that now we had rather see
them than hear talk of them.
The presentation Of flag to the colored
Conservative Club took place this morning
in the midst of heavy shower. of rain, but
their ardor was not cooled. Major Gregory
made the address in his usual happy style;
after which the club formed in procession
and marched through the streets for several
hours, bearing the flag, and being accompa-
MED by band of music. Their number
was not lsrge---not many more than a cor
poral's gusrd-but they bore up manfnlly
against the jibes and jeers of the Radical
negroes, who gathered at the street-corners
to look on and make remarks.
Elaborate preparations have been making
For several days for the Hebrew ball, which
IS to come of tonight at Mechanics Hall.

Southern Review.

The October No. Of this quarterly review "
has been for some days on our table y
maintains its high character without Inc
slightest appearance of tagging or fatigue
in any respect. 1t is far the aoless puoii,
oo.;on of the kind that has ever appeared
IN this country. 1t is the most uncom-
promising enemy Of. charlatanism in every
branch of knowledge, and especially IN
politics and governmental history. NO
other periodical has laid bare with such
force and perspicuity as it has the false
political views of our republican confede-
rated system. It has been the firm defender
Of the southern view of that system, and
never fails upon any of the points OF con-
troyersy to yindicate it in an unansWeraole
manner. So able and 80 thoroughly in
formed periodical deserves wide patron
ace. Even those who do not concur IN Its
political views may be proud of it as an
American publication. 1t should be ranked
amongst the most elevated prints of its kind
wherever the English language is spoken.
The editors, Messrs. BLEDsoE and Brown,
propose to send specimen copies free OF

Radical Justice to White Men.


The Radicals of the North are endeavor-
ing to restrict the rights of white men,
while they are doing all they can to en-
large those of the negro. Fearing that
foreigners will vote against them, they are
endeayoring to intimidate them from be-
coming naturalized. In Pennsylvania the
most active measures are taken by the
Radicals to dog the steps of the foreigner
and deprive him of that right which they
have conferred upon the corn-feld negro.
This marked discrimination against the
whites will sooner OF later recoil fearfully
upon the Radicals. The party itself cannot
in the natural course of things.long exist
AS party organization it will die out
but the leaders will not be forgotten
They cannot hide from the "wrath t.

Tho Public Debt Reform Needed.

=
The Hon. ROBERT ]. WALKER has beer
looking into the public debt, and he finds
that the annual expenditures of the Fede
raj Government have been increased lover
aforty-six millions of dollars (S46'ooo''
"559) by an augmentation to thar ex'eh'
"of the yearly interest Tin currency OF the
"public debt since 30th April, 1865" lie
admits that there may have been possibly
ga small reduction of the public debt last
amouth, but this reduction, if made, will
% be in debts bearing mainly no interest,
cor in war claims withheld, whilst the debt
"bearing coin interest aoiN be augmented"
To us who suffer from misgoyernment,
involving questions vastly more important
than that of increasing or diminishing the
public debt, this discussion is not matter
of absorbing interest. 1t is quite seconda-
~, and not far from immaterial. Mr..
WALKER, however, dovetails the financial
question with the policy of reconstruction
in manner altogether appropriate and
Just. We extract the following from his
letter to Philadelphia
"That there is an increased yearly ex-
Expenditure, exceeding forty-six millions of
" dollars since april 80, 1865, to meet the
augmented interest las currency of the
"public debt is certain. This is the true
"test of our financial condition, and to me-
sit seems certain that nothing but total
"change Of policy will save US from
irrational bankruptcy. This change of pol
"icy must be based upon vast decrease Of
ourannual expenditures, as recommended
{" in my financial letter of November last.
We must abolish the Freedmen's Bureau !;
"we must recall the army from the South,
" and reduce it to a moderate peace estab-
"Eshment. We must terminate there the
"jcint rule Of the negro and the bayonet,
land, slavery and secession having been
forever abandoned,) permit the southern
States, in obedience to the Federal Con-
stitution, to govern themselves as before
"the rebellion. The fact of this vast in
"crease of the annual interest Of the pub
sic debt is not disputed question. 1t
"rests on transcripts from the books Of the
Treasury, and cannot be denied. Even
6 if we take the 30th Of November last, the
l" date of the last annual report Of the Sc
cretary Of the Treasury, We find the in
creased annual interest las currency of
"the public debt s26, STA, 1929 from the Both
" of November last, 1857. to the 51st of
-s---4++ssss+7-ls6o, being an augmentation at
/" the rate of three millions of dollars a
"month, or thirty-six millions of dollars o
"year."

Radical Wall from Virginia.

A writer dating his epistle in Richmond
writes budget of complaints and sorrows
to the Washington Chronicle. He signs
himself 6 Portcullis," but we suspect that
isonly another name for II, )" who dropped,
sometime since, one or more contributions
into FoRNEY's Washington "pig-pen."
The present missive is directed at Gen
eral SLOVENIAN. That officer has not seen
that the safety Of the world from immediate
destruction by earthquake depends upon
the placing of incompetent and untrust-
worthy sdventurers into Office, and there
fore the writer lifts his voice of complaint
and imprecation to the Radical world
wherever the eagle flies and the flag waves.
Such an affectation of injured innocence as
this gentle lamb of carpet-bagger or
scalawag makes is edifying. General
SToNEMAN himself must be set a-thinking
when he reads it Gf he should) as to
what he has done.
The worst thing complained Of in the Lett
ter, however, is the removal of HUMPHREYS
from the City Council; which leads to the
suspicion that the indictment against Gene
raj sToNEMAN was gotten up not far from
the custom-house. No act ever was received
oy q body of men with more satisfaction
than was the turning out of HUMPHREYS by
the body from which he was elected. A
wsspish, peevish, hdgitty, snarling, mar
plot, there was no peace with him. He an
noyed everybody: even his own party men,
General SroNEMAN no doubt acquiesced in
q public necessity, brought tohi knowledge
by tho sufferers Of the infection of putting
him into the Council. The introduction OF
this merciful IS well as just act Of the
General into the letter discredits the whole.
The indictment which makes an act of
such benefcence an outrage justifes the
Inference that all the alleged outrages
committed by General SLOVENIAN are bless.
