following characteristic statement in the
Genesee Farmer: 81 did last year what
| never did before that was ploughinc
up wheat stubble and sowing again with
wheat. 1t is a respectable looking crop
now, but if you saw the half of the field
that | sowed salt on, say full barrel to
the acre, l am almost sure you would or
der forty or fifty barrels of second quail
ty salt to SOW in September or October.
The salted wheat stands much thicker on
the ground, is considerably taller, came
IN ear fully four days before the other,
and altogether looks richer in every way
and as had not salt enough to sow the
whole field, | sowed the half that has
hitherto brought the worst crop and lat
est in ripening. Now it is much the
best. l can stand in the middle of the
field, and look forty-tive rods each way
and see distinctly how far the salt came.
or | can walk or ride down the side of
the field where not salted, and see the
line as plainl y as if the one side was corn
and the other wheat. If this won't make
men experiment with salt, | don't know
what will" Farmers in the neighbor-
hood of the salt works in New York,
where refuse salt can be had very cheap.
have tried it pretty extensively, and
their conclusions as to its value, though
not uniform, have not been such as to
encourage its general use But Mr..
Geddes says, in a late article on the sub
Ject in the Tribune, that certain things
have been learned, one of which is that
new beginner is very apt to put on SO
much as to destroy or greatly injure his
crops. Indeed, it is well understood
that salt in large quantities entirely de-
stroys the fertility of a soil. 1t is al
50 known that in small quantities on some
soils an application of salt is beneficial.
In the present state of our knowledge we
know OF no better way of deciding its eff
tects on a given field or crop than by an
experiment on small scale

The generosity of Mr.. George Peabody
appears to be without limit, his chief pleas
ure consisting in the banefactions he dis
penses with disregard of sectional or secta'
rian sentiment. The sixty thousand dol.
lars just donated by him to endoV the Pro-
fessorship in Washington College, of which
Gen. Lee is President, and for which it had
been for some time known that an endow.
ment would be extremely acceptable to the
Coleg, Faculty, will be welcomed by the
friends of that reconstructed institution with
sincere gratitude. Mr.. Peabody has the fac
ulty of making his princely gifts fit with sim
gular exactness into the places for which
they are adapted; and by the remarkable
variety of his bounties he likewise enjoys the
rare happiness Of bringing men to substan.
tial agreement on one point-his own benev.
olent intentions-who might not be willing
to reach on accommodation on any other.

Postal RoufpS.

A resolution has passed both branches of
the Legislature requesting our Senators and
Representatives in the Congress of the Uni
ted States to use their influence to secure
the reopening and reviving of all the postal
routes and post offices in this State We
hope their influence will be successfully
used for that purpose. That is one of the
great benefits Of the Federal Government
from which the State has long been exclu-
ded. In complete communion and hearty
sympathy with the Union, the people of this
State are entitled to the advantages of mail
facilities. Without them, general intclli-
gence is not diffused, trade languishes, the
farmer and producer are often left in the
dark as to the state of the markets. and
thus fall prey to specializing vultures who
take advantage of the blindness of the seller
of produce, who is blind because the market
news does not come to him until too late, if
it comes at all. The opening of the mail
routes would be an earnest of practical re-
construction, and would do much toward
placing this State on the high road to pro
gress in material and intellectual develop
ment. Therefore We ask that it shall be
done as an act of justice and as an efficient
means of cementing the bonds of union be-
tween the States.

REWARD FOR OUTLAws-By reference to
our advertising columns this morning it will
be seen that His Honor Judge Tourgcc, has
issued proclamation calling on Raiford
Pearce and James Edwards to surrender
themselves to officers of the law, and should
they attempt flight or resistance after being
warned to surrender, he authorizes any per-
son to slay them.
His Excelleney, Gov. Holden, also issues
proclamation offering reward of $500 for
their apprehension.
These outlaws have been for some time
connected with band of burglars and rob-
bers, and have made themselves a terror to
the people of Nash, Johnston and Wake bv
their daring robberies and depredations. A
part OF the gang have been arrested and
are now in Jail awaiting trial Sheriff Lee
is shaking the law terror>to evil doors, and
armed as he now is, we feel confident that he
will secure these desperadoes or drive them
from the country.

R. W. Lassiter. ESQ.

The scurrilous attacks of Josiah Turner on
the character of this gentleman need no
refutation, since the attacks in themselves
are so malicious as to drag even the estab-
lished reputation of their author below its
former level.
Mr.. Turner lodges Mr.. Lassiter's prompt
denial of the SANDER against his character ;
and Tugs in Mr.. Taylor, of Granville, in an
/ hind which to hide himself from the shafts
. of vlrtuous indignation. The meanness of
the assault is only eclipsed by the cowardice
of the assailant
And what have the other matters referred
10 by Mr.. Turner to do with the simple
eharge made in his paper against Mr.. L.
Does he seek by such ud-stirring to escape
INTO the Shiny recesses of his terrapin-hole,
Without receiving single scar upon his
faly carcass Indeed, it is refreshing to
now that he retreats with rapidity,-for it
- better to allow some vermin to escape
Htthout disabling them, than to suffer the
stench arising from their involuntary deten-
tipn in your immediate vicinity.
After awhile Mr.. Turner will perceive that
is unqualified for the position of Roman
hume, which he has usurped in vanity and
norance, and then discover that perhaps
Either wisdom, courage nor integrity resides
his BOSOM. But until then, this virtuoso
1fth all the infrmities of Thersites, the van
of Cicero, the envy of Cassius, and the
Arice of Catalina, will affiict the public
Pin ungrammatical TRADES against the
Practer Of his superiors. An intelligent
blic have already condemned him to po-
al oblivion; and if the exercise of evil
'':el lect should rescue him from the pit,
Flll be only for him to receive that
Prd in this world which certainly
f its him in the next.
