of its depreciation and non-redemption would

Grants Politics.

SNACK" the Washington cores
pendent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial, reports a long converse
ton held with the President short
ly after the Grant affair. The cor
respondent asked Mr.. johnson
whether he did not understand
Grant to be on his side all along,
and gives the Presidents reply as
follows:
"Of course / understood him to
be with me all along, because i
had his word for it," said the Pres
ident. "He went down South,
and came back more for me than
] was for myself. He wrote re-
port that encouraged me more than
anything else had done to perse.
we're in the effort to get the South
ern States back into the Union, as
/ had started out. He called on
me frequently for a long time af
ter the controversy between me
and Congress had commenced, and
if he meant anything by what he
said, he was my friend and sup
porter. He never talked politics
very much, because Grant always
pretended he didn't know any
thing about it, but he didn't seem
to regard reconstruction as a polit.
ical question. He suddenly turned
up as a Radical candidate for the
Presidency, and that was the first
I knew of his opposition to me"

The Holly Springs Reporter.
after alluding to the early seces-
sion proclivities of John Logan,
the Illinois Falstaff, gives him
the following handsome ''per-
sonal" notice
With his course as a politician
we are not dealing, particularly
at this time, but his conduct as
man and an officer, whilst COM
handing in General Grants army.
That army'was stationed at Holly
Springs some weeks, and during
its occupancy of the place, Logan
was prominent as violator of all
rules that should govern a high
toned and moral gentleman. He
looked upon our people as ''out-
side barbarians," and deported him.
self accordingly. He lived in open
adultery with negro wench, that
belonged to one of the prominent
lawyers of Holly Springs, and seem
ed indifferent to public sentiment
or public morals.

A Startling Prediction.

Something near two years ago,
says the Columbia Herald, the late
Rev. DR.. Baldwin preached at Mt.
Nebo Church, in this county, and
many of our readers will recollect
the emphasis and confidence with
which be predicted that there
would break out in tie year 1868
a war in the North between the
political parties of that section
that it would be very fierce and
comparatively short, that the con-
stitutional party would triumph,
and the original constitution would
be re-established and permanent
peace restored TO the country. In
this war the South was to take no
part. And it will not be forgot
ten with what solemn earnestness
the preacher continued /: "Breth-
rem, there are many of you here
who will be living to see these
things come to pass. | shall not
see the things that l have foretold.
When you see these things come
to pass, you may recall to mind
what l have this day said"
The speaker is dead, and it does
seem as if the war is at hand
And if it be, may the whole pre-
diction come true. May the South
have no part in it, and may the
right win.

"THERE'S MANY A SLIP TWIxT
THE Cur AND THE LIP."-Not long

The Tobacco Fly or Mil
Ter,

4O1s
A Kentucky tobacco planter
relates the following experience
and success in the destruction of
that pest to the crop-the mother
of the tobacco worm:
Having, like all other tobacco
planters, suffered for years by the
ravages of this destructive and
annoying insect, / proceeded to
watch its movements and ascer-
tain its habits. / found it intense
ly fond Of sucking at the bloom
of the Jamestown, more general
ly speaking, the Crimson" weed,
wild morning glory, &C., but espe-
cially the former. Accordingly,
at the time of setting out the
plants, l set out among them some
eight or ten "Jlmson" plants,
which, like all the otherevil weeds,
grew up and bloomed just in time
for the objects of this cuss of an
insect. l procured from a drug.
gist about an ounce of pulverized
fly powder, or fly stone, mixed it
with water, making it very sweet
with honey, sugar or molasses
will do as welI,) put it in half
pint bottle with a cork stopper,
into which l insert a goose quill.
Thus armed and equipped, Invent
every evening between sunset and
twilight and dropped about three
drops of the mixture into the
"Jimson," and the next day would
pick up handsful of the insects ly-
ing dead under the nearest trees,
Or in the corn field close to the to-
bacco patch. So eminent was my
success in destroying them, that
many of my neighbors were in
duced to try the experiment, and
the consequence is that the crops
in our neighborhood are much
less injured by them than usual.
The poison destroys that particu-
lar bloom as well as the fly. See
ing this, I go every evening and drop
| it into the new ones which form in
the next twenty-four hours. IT
every planter would follow this
practice, that particular race of
destructive insests would soon be-
come extinct.
"My crop this year has so far
been protected by this process as
scarcely to show that such an In
sect existed at all, and if no hail
storm or other accident overtakes
it before cutting and housing, it
will be entirely free from injury
of any kind. All the trouble 1
have had with it, is destroying the
eggs laid by flies from other pla-
ces, as they are known to fly about
and depositstheir eggsall night of
moonlightnights.
"This process Of gettingrid of SO
great an injury to this most i'm
portant crop being within the
reach of every one, it will be uni
versally practiced, l hope, this en-
abling planter not only to raise
as much again, but better, and
escape that most tiresome and back
breaking process Of worming to-
bacco."
