country but, North Cafolinisnsl ifyou are
true to yourselves, Oh the Sd of next Nov
aember, both will catch the devil
But to be serious. We cannot afford to
let this State drift into anotherwar. No sane
man believes for moment that Gen. Grant
will adda feathers weight to the load we al
ready have to carry, On the contrary his
administration win prove 4 blessing to eve
ry State in the sou,ka God never created
. more generous, NOE magnanimeus man.
A word from him when Lee surrendered
would have hung the Southern aristocracy
by then neck, and left it danglingin the air for
buzzards to grow fat upon, but that word
never passed from his lips. He said, go
home, keep the peace, obey the laws of Con-
gress, do justly, act mercifully, go to work
yourselves and wait not for others to work.
for you, and you will find in me your friend
and protector to the end. And what he
promised to do to US has been done Upon
his recommendation millions have been dis.
bursed to feed the poor Of all races and sexes.
Upon his recommendation the cotton and
sugar taxes were removed, and even whiskey
made cheaper to those who were fools enough
to drink it. You cannot name on his part
a single act Of oppression; J. only thousand
of benevolence and christian charity. Re-
member, North Carolinians when you cast
your vote for Gen. Grant, you vote for a
great nation that will Lin up all within it
and make them great; you vote for great
flag that kings bow and trenible before from
one end of the world to the other; you vote
for great principle thatcomes down to men
from God in Heaven you vote for the dear
est instincts implanted within the human
soul; for liberty of speech and of the press !;
for free schools. for free churches, for free
thought; for all that will build up the
soul and develop within it the image Of Al
mighty God. For all this you vote when you
vote for Gen. Grant. And the obligation to
vote for him, seems to us, not alone o polit-
ical. but profoundly religious one. Think,
therefore, North Carolimans! upon what
you are called to do when you 60 to the
polls. With Gan. Grant yotrs are to have
peace and prosperity tor generations TO
come; with Seymour you are to have war
and anarchy and all their attendant horrors
even unto annihilation.

friend in this City, will give some idea of the
feeling in New York for Grant and Colfax !:
2 ''So you see we are sound for the cause
for which we lost 50 much. We intend to
support with the ballot what we won with
the bullet. This State will SURELY 60 for
the Republicans, and Grant and Colfax will
be elected by q tremendous majority ~
The Irish Republicans in New York are
rallying, holding meetings, and preparing
: for vigorous canvass for Grant and Colfax.
: The Irish soldiers win Fots.sor the hero Of
Vicksburg and Appomattox. It is our ofin-
ion that Grant and Colfax will lead the
Rebel Democratic candidates two to one in
the Electoral vote. ~

SnItRnd Limc for wheat.

At recent meeting of the Farmers
Club of the American Institute, in New
York, Mr. George Steele, of Thorndalc
Chester county, Pa, stated that he has
used salt with lime, and alone, as a ma
nuro for wheat, for n number Of years,
with good effect lie thinks that one and
a half sacks Of merchantable ground salt,
or an equivalent Of dirty salt, and TWEEN
ty-fyc bushels oflime per acre, produce
as good wheat as n moderate dressing OF
stable manure, and the grass after the
wheat is as good The salt and lime
have been applied after blowing, and
narrowed in; the lime spread with a
shovel or lime spreader, as soon as
slaked, while in a powdered condition
and the salt sown broadcast, or mixed
with the lime before spreading, or the
lime slaked with brine The rocks ON
Mr. Steeles farm are tale slate. The
soil, gravel clay and loam, was exhausted
about seventy-five years ago, and its cui'
tivation abandoned. 1t has since been
reclaimed from barrenness by an imN
proved system of agriculture, and the use
of lime as a manure. The land to which
the salt was applied has been frequently
lined, which fact may be important in
considering the effect Of the salt applied
alone. About twice the above men,
toned quantity Of salt alone, Mr. 5. be-
heves 10 be as good for this land as the
salt and lime.

Never Craze your land too closely. If
your ground is inclined to become foul
with briars and shrubs, cut them
down or grub them up-assist the stock
in trampling and ealing them too,
and do not depend upon starving your
stock TO make them eat briars and shrubs.
The increased value Of stock handled well.
by being permitted 10 run upon good
grass, will more than pay for the labor
requisite to keep down the briars and
shrubs. All weeds should be cut before
they seed-they will soon decay. and il
thick enough, afford an excellent top
dressing for the grass. Blue grass sod when
grazed too closely, after having been set for
many year,, sometimes seriously injured
by a green moss which covers the ground
and renders the grass feeble and almost
worthless. Such grass sod should be cut 70
pieces, by feeding stock upon il, when the
ground IL wet in the fall, winter or early
m the spring. This induces that atmos-
pherlc action necessary TO a healthy and
vigorous growth Of grass. Keeping a
good length Of grass prevents loss to the
soil from evaporation, insures a good con-
dillon 10 the stock handled, adds TO the
general fertility Of the soil, and pecuniary
interests Of the farmer, and thus promotes
his individual comfort aud personal enjoy

In the year 1860, in passing through my
patch Of three-quaTters Of an acre one day
in July, found about quart OF bugs.
took club and killed the last one, 80
thought perhaps that would be the last fol
that season. But behold, in week there
came about bushel. ! stood and looked
on in amazement for a few minutes, as
studied up the following successful plan
At the upper end Of the patch was a LOT
Of old hay-I took my pitchfork, carried
the hay and piled il in the midst Of the
bugs between tworows ] then got bush
and drove the bugs into the hay and sci
the bugs and hay on fire. This settled the
hash with them for that year and saved
the potatoes.
In 1868 ] repeated the same process
using straw, with good effect. In 1850
used the straw and fire three different times
in few weeks, placing the straw in the
same place and driving the bugs TO the
straw. In 1866 had 10 Use fire but once
and IL the bugs see fit 20 visit my patch
this year, they will be apt TO get the same
kind OF fare again.
