Rannie,

4 new plant bas been added to the re;
sources OF our tropical and scml-troplcal
rerion-a new textile which will furnish
the world with clothing and the means OF
knowledge. We have seen long skclns
of cotton like fabric in whiteness' soft-
ness, and hrmncss, but much stronger
which is now produced ut the rate OF hve
crops per year. in the State OF Vera Cruz,
Mexico. where ii has been cultivated tor
FIVE wears by Belgium naturalist and
botanist, who went there TO pursue his
favori,e studies and occupations in soil
and climate which favor them.
This plant, called the Ramie, is a native
ofJava; was introduced thence into the
Jardandes Plantes, at Paris, by some
French Sauan in 1874 was regarded theh
as simply exhibiting the wonderful aavaI'- "a
tages of the tropics, being too to- oei'G9'.. p.
for open air culture in cold cllmes' oul
having been planted and tried IN ~ar'''ea e.,
climates than that OF France, YET hos 90
equatorial as that of Java, 1t mas oeen
found TO do as well in them.
Itis,dne to NJ. Bento Raezl, formerly
of the Horticultural Institute OF Bel gum
nov of fSantocomaprun, San Andres lust
Ia State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, that we
can now pronounce it u naturallzed plant
of this continent, and to his present visit
to this city will speedily owe its intro.
dnction into the field culture of tho Cult
States, towhch it will permanently per
tain.
The ranie (its Javanese name) is
plant like hemp. contains IN It's stalk tne
fibre for which it is raised, and which is
crown like sugar cane, from being planted
in lengths or from its stuhble; With the
advantage over the stubble OF the cane,
that each succeeding year it grows bet
ter. and that in Cuba and Lower Mexico
will furnish five, aud here st least three
cuttings in the year.
By q new process and some simple ma
chinery by NJ. Raez!, the lint
can be prepared from theground, in wen.
ty-four hours. We know that months OF
labor and the entire di.coloring OF the n
bre follows the treatment by the ordinary
process of fax and hemp, while the rame
comes out white, clean, pure. and unhurt.
Eight hundred pounds of lint to the
acre is to be expected from each cutting
of full growth, in fair land. The culture
is similar 10 that oi cane; but rs the plant
once set. is hard to eradicate, grows Wig
orousiy, and de6es the influence of grass
or rival plants, cultivation is only needed
to promote it's growth. When ripe it
should be cut. but neglect to do this causes
no special damage, so that it may wait
days or weeks the will Of the free repub-
licans of Mexico and the Union. The
fibre is long, fine and strong; the plant
easy to raise. and handy in the southern
ATTITUDES, and its preparation for market
is simple and cheap in cost.
Under these circumstances we may
safely pronounce that the ramie will at
an early day take a high rank among our
staples.-N O. Ptcayune.

The Washing

: The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial takes the liberty
of reminding the Republicans that "there
is tide in the affairs of parties which,
taken at the flood, leads to the devil )" and
he adds the expression of lis own opinion
that. willie they have frequently driilcd
toward it, they have never "squarely
struck that tide at It's flood till now. THIS
sentiment the New York Times thinks
would not he OF any great importance if it
were simply that of an isolated corrcspon-
dent; but there Is good reason for the be-
lief that very large proportion OF the
people are thinking the samct thing-and
this fact may make it formidable.

SOMETHING ABOUT STANToN.-"Mack"
writes as follows to the Cincinnati COM
mercial: "One of .Stanton's last sugges-
tions in the cabinet, he said, was to IN
crease the regular army to it's maximum,
which would put it at nearly a hundred
thousand men; also to have an order ID
sued making desertion punishable oy
death. Stanton came in one day with "
proposition embracing these two points,
reduced to writing. The President { eHe r
pressed his astonishment, and inquired II
Gen Grant approved such thing. ntah,
ton replied in the affirmative. I" i c.'i
said the President, i am opposed 10 e''eh -,
of the propositions, and especially 10 ooIh
Of them Stanton went on to say the
army was deserving in platoons, and moth
;n@ hut rigorous enforcement of the
death penalty wonld stop it. The Presi-
dent said he never heard of such a thing
as shooting for descrtion in time of peace.
Stanton replied that there was law on
the statute books now authorizing it, but
he couldn't find it."
The President said the country would
be unable to bear the expense OF the army
filed to the maximum. 1t would be n
hundred millions q year; but Stanton in
sisted that it ought to be done. When
General Grant came into the cabinet the
President asked him if he had approved
OF Stanton's propositions, and he replied
that he had not, that he hadn't seen them
and knew nothing of them. 81 could
never approve OF a thing like that" said
Mr.. johnson, ito bankrupt the North in
order to raise Il big army to overrun the
South. There's too much Of an army
now, and it's too expensive already"
1t will be observed, from the above,
that the American Carnot had back
action idea in view, which was to recruit
the army up to the maximum first, and
then shoot it down to the minimum. The
original Carnot never equaled that in
brilliancy Of conception.

soi,rurpN LADIES. The following
worthy tribute to the admirable conduct
of our impoverished Southern ladies was
elected from the Vicksburg Times, in the
course of an article commenting on the
disgraccful exhibition made recently by
Mrs Lincoln:
There arc in the Southern States thou
sands of ladies who were born to fortune;
ladies, who, from their cradle, were ac-
customed to wealth, luxury and refine
ment. They lost their husbands on the
blood-staincd field of battle, and had their
fortunes stripped from them by unbrldled
power. but we have not heard that they
turned medicants We know many who
have become teachers, governesscs, IN
structors in music and boarding house
keepers, but not one who has turned beg,
gar They have not made a commodity
of their woes, but like the pure, true, no.
BILE and brave women that they arc: they
are laboring, might and main. to support
and educate their fatherless children. and
rear up, for the coming years, a race OF
heroes who shall not dishonor the memory
of their fathers. God will smile upon
such noble and heroic efforts. Tho sons
that these Spartan mothers are rearing,
will vet add to their fathers fame and the
daughters they arc training in the paths
of purity. truth and gentleness. will give
additional splendor to the glores of the
coronct which sparklcs upon the brows OF
Southern women.

Mr.. DAvIs.-Thc Vicksburg Times says:
Long absent, but warmly loved, as well i'll
the day OF his power as when II shacklcd
prisoner in Fortress Monroe, the hearts of
our whole people yearn towards President
Davis with utlcrablc affection. For what
he tried to do-ior what he has borne and
suffered in the cause of the people he will
always bc honorcd and remembered. We
cannot greet him, as in other days, with
public manifestations of respect and graf

their voices may be mute, their hearts will
throb with wild tumutous joy.

How GALLANT MEN MEET-The cor
respondent n this city who furnishes the
New York Tribune with such q purely
fictitious picture of the social interchan-
gcs of General Hancock with our citizens
and especially with prominent ex-rebcls
will doubtless find new subject for his
pen in an incident which occurred during
the holidays We ask no thanks for sup
plying this very voracious writer with the
facts Of this incident. They are as fol-
lows:
A few days ago General James Long
street called at the residence of General
Hancock and sent in his card. General
Hancock was then engaged with some
friends, ladies and gentlemen. He imme-
.iatcy left them to receive his old army
friend, more recently his foe, but now
again his friend, and after q warm greet
ing insisted upon conducting General
Longstreet into tho parlor, and introdu-
cling him to the company there assembled.
The style of the introduction was so Pc
culiar that we reproduce it for the special
benefit of the malignant Radicals, rs a
full justification tor their suspicious OF
General Hancock's loyalty:
Ladies' and gentlemen" said General
Hancock, s:allow me to introduce to you
gallant gentleman, to whom l am in
debted for an ungraceful limp, and whom
/ had the misfortune to wing in the same
combat"
We must add that, although the COM
pany was composed exclusively of ladies
and gentlemen whose sympathies were on
the Union side in the late war, the Incl
deut excited a profound and most pleas
ureahle sensation, and the two distin-
guished soldiers were regarded with in
creased admiration and respect.-N. o.
