Tennessee

The Hon. John G. Burch and
Colonel, L.C. Berch were recently
appointed q, delegation by the
Conservatives of Tennessee toVisit
the President and lay before him
the situation of affairs in that
State. Mr.. Burch was unable to
leave home, and therefore delega-
ted his powers to Colonel Looney,
dftKentuoky. I They had a confer
ence last Saturday during which
Tennessee matters were fully dis
cussed. The President referred
the delegation to recent orders as
the limit of the executive power IN
the matter, but assured them that
every means authorized by the
Constitution and the laws would be
used to secure the freedom Of the
ballot in Tennessee and other
Southern States without interior
enoe by Federal or State troops.
The President took the ground
that the Constitution forbids any
Of the States q standing army OF
paid soldiers that militia duty is
Incumbent upon every citizen, who
can only be exempted from it by
the payment of q fne, or by provi-
ding a substitute /; that the militia
ii an emergency force, subject to
be- called from the plough or the
loom at any moment, and from
which no citizen can escape /; but
that q standing army Of paid
troops Ii any State il repugnant
10 the constitution and 10 the spirit
of our institutions. Every consti.
utional power ofthe executive will
BE- used to prevent the organization
q sban0l1g armies OF Essa0 troops
u any State, unless called fos eao
controlled by Federal authority

THE CULTURE OF CELERY.-Cele-
ry is so wholesome and palatable
a vegetable that every garden
should have q supply of it. 1t
should have been sOWn on q slight
hot-bed early in the spring, or in q
warm border, pulverized and en-
riched by manure. The plants are
apt to grow weak and spindley
when crowded too much in the bed,
and it is not a good practice to
set them out early in the drills
where they are to stand, for the
great heat of summer causes many
Of them to run to seed, thus rem
dering them worthless. The plants
may be much improved by prick
ing them out Of the seed he'd in a
rich border, well prepared to re-
ceive them, setting them about
four inches asunder. In this way
they viii become well rooted, and
will grow when set out unless very
badly managed.
For early use, a portion Of the
plants should be set out In June,
the drills or trenches for them be-
ing enriched by a large quantity
of well-rotted manure. They
should not be blanched until fully
grown. The celeris, or turnip-
rooted celery, is, as its name de-
notes, turnip-shaped and does not
require blanching.
