The Democratic soldiers and sailors of
Massachusetts who helped to put down the
Rebellion art highly indignant at the total
neglect with which they were treated by the
recent John Quincy Adams Junior State Con-
vention. Not one of them was nominated for
anything, and they swear, with no little truth,
that the venerable Copperheads had it all their
own way in the Convention aforesaid 1t is MT
easy to see why they should have anticipated
any different treatment. The Democrats
who opposed coercion, who thought fighting
fatal to the future prosperity of the Republic,
and taxation only another name for oppressive
swindling, could hardly be expected to look
with loving eyes upon Democratic" defenders
of the Union.

The convict Calvin, who was executed at
Memphis the other day for murder, made a
short but comprehensive speech on the scaffold,
in which he rather than else assumed the tone
of an injured man, saying, 81 forgive every
body ! forgive everybody, rs l hope the
:" Lord will forgive me-" And in this sweet
frame of mind he went to the place from which
nobody has ever come back, to the best of the
common knowledge and belief.
Moody, who was hung with Calvin, made q
somewhat longer and more elaborate address,
tho important part of which was that to the
end he stoutly affirmed his innocence, and pro-
tested that like the dog Tray, he suffered for
having been in bad company. But when the
poor wretch, stammering out the last words
which would ever fall from his tongue, said
with kind Of pathetic earnestness, 81 III soon

Considering the religious faith Of the Chair
man of the Democratic National Committee,
is MT it rather hard to denOunce him as the
TrichinG Spiralis of that poor old partyf Such
was the charge made last night in the Jackson
Club of the Twentieth Ward F.; and it was added
that unless the eminent disciple of Abra-
ham and agent of Rothsclild was
ousted, and the Honorable VIM. Nj.
Tweed nut in bis place, the Irish ele-
ment would incOntinently desert the DemOc-
racy. The resolutions are charming. They say
that Mr.. Belmont's holding the chair is fraught
with great peril to the party; that he has
proved himself utterly incompetent; is of non
progressive ideas q. e., does not believe
in repudiation); "and for potent rea-
"sons is peculiarly distasteful, not to
"say positively odious, to large
"section of the Democracy" and, therefore,
he is requested incOntinently to disappear.
This turmoil has more as basis than any
personal war upon Mr.. Belmont; the magnates
of the party have not spent all their vacation
time in fishing and bathing, but many long
and serious conferences have been held in
grassy hooks, with the waters of the great
spring (n a jug) hidden in cool place,
whereat the grand scheme of swallowing
up the debris of the party by the
Tammany Ring has been seriously, if not
prayerfully considered. This plan, bold and
audacious as it is, could not be directly ven
tured upon, and so the schemers begin by
mining the walls of the old fortress, spreading
distrust among the faithful, pointing to their
inglOriOus defeat at the Presidential election,
and charging the responsibility upon poor (Or
rich) Mr.. Belmont, who has been the meekest
sort of lamb in the hands of the shearers,
| but who now declines to shed his golden
fleece for such a horde of rapacious ingrates.
What with this new departure of the Tammany
Democracy, with a wide shear toward repudia-
ton the retreat of Rosecrans, the nomination
of Pendleton, and the stirring canvass in Penn
sylvania, there is a fair prospect of lively
time in the political world for the next six

not have been q better one. AS it is, he comes
very near being waste material. He is quite
too good for the Democracy, and not near

There are no important new features in the
Susquehanna Railroad question, now under
legal investigation; but any one who reads the
testimony will be surprised, if not amazed. at
the depth of ignorance concerning the affairs
and books of the Company confessed by
its Secretary and Treasurer. The little he
does know may be compressed into four
lines a small part of what he does not know
spreads over half q column. The free and
easy system whereby any interested party
among the officers of the company could do as
he pleased with the books does not make a
favorable impression for the management.

Gen. ROsecrans, as a soldier, was sometimes
criticised as a first-class strategist, but poor
tactician. AS Democratic candidate, the
excellent General is likely hereafter to be
described as a very fair Democrat in theory,
but dreadfully inconvenient one in practice.
His letter. declining the nomination of his
party in Ohio (of which we have at last
correct copy, printed on the second
page, is not, by any means, accept
able as a whole to Republicans, and it
must be very much more disagreeable to the
Democrats. OF course the General is original
and forcible, and somewhat cratic; he always
was. Of course he finds the Democratic party
OF to-day one with which he can have no afil-
iatiOn, for he is soldier, and he fought
for the country which they were will
ing to see destroyed. OF course he

Sowing Corn for Green Fodder.

CORN for green fodder should be sown,
not broadcast, but thickly, in rows three
feet apart, so that it may be readily
"ten1ed" by horse power. At this width
the cultivstor will pass through the rows
without danger, and if the seed is thick In
the drills, mot less than twenty-five ker-
nels to the foot,) it will, on rich land,
form so bushy a growth as to nearly Occu-
ply the whole space The sowings may be
continued, at intervals, until nearly or
quite the first of August. The rows being
marked ou., by claiming, or with the
pillow, the corn may be sown quite rapidly
by hand, and covered with the feet, AS
recommended by Peter Henderson in his
Gardening for Profit" and then well
rolled down. Or, which is much better,
it may be put ia with wheat drill by
taking out all but the middle and two end
teeth, and stopping the discharge from
the hopper except over these. This will
bring the rows at about the proper dis
lance apart, and the quantity of seed may
be easily regulated SO as to give The requi
site thickness in the drill. Corn sown in
this way needs no additional covering be
yond what roller will give it. Should it
not be needed for feeding in it's green
state, it may be bound in small bundles,
and cured in long shocks made around a
rail supported by crotches or stakes.
When cured, it forms d nutritious fodder.

Experiments In Destroying the Peach
Worm.

THERE is handy means for the de-
structiOn of this heretofore fatal enemy to
the peach tree, which is practical here
and which has proved certain, beyond
peradventure. 1t is simple, of easy ap-
plication, and expeditions. 1t consists of
the use of boiling soater applied to the collar
of the tree, in quantities varying accord
ing to the age of the tree-in small trees,
say one inch in diameter, half pint is
sufficient, and pint is enough for larger
| ones. Remove the earth from around the
tree few inches in depth, and just pour
the water boiling hot on the exposed
roots, and it will kill every egg as well as
worm with positive certainty. 1t has
been tried here time and again, upon trees
| that have been more than half killed, and
perfect restoration has been the result in
every case. No danger need be appre-
hended from the effects of the hot water
upon the trees, unless large quantity is
applied to a very small tree When a
large number of trees have to be operated
upon, fire should be made in the orchard
for heating the water, so that it can be ap-
piled boiling hot. Considering the i'm
portance of this remedy to peach growers
| who may not have heard of it, deem it
but common justice to give it circulation
through the columns of your paper. lis
certainty as remedy may be implicitly
relied upon Country Gent.
