THE COUNTY CONVENTION.

The Democratic County Convention
met on last Saturday in the Greenlaw
Opera House, of our city, and performed
;,s duties in q manner satisfactorily to
our people.
In the selection Of candidates for the
grave and responsible position of dele
gates the Convention acted wisely. and
the names put forward will command the
support of every white man in the
county.
We announce, with pleasure, VIM. ID.
Stevens, ]. B. Heiskell and Humphrey
R. Bate, as the gentlemen agreed on by
a msjority of the delegates OF the County
Convention, as fit representatives OF our
people. The characters of these men
are we'll understood. and known to
be above repreach. Nothing now
remains but to elect. on the 18Th
day of this month, the ticket as
suggested to the Democrats of the
county. We presume there will not be
q dissenting voice among our friends to
the choice made; and when confirmed
by the people at the ballot-box. the dele
gates will enter upon their duties With
the full confidence of every man, woman
and child Of our community.
The proceedings Of the County Con-
vention, as we anticipated, passed of
quietly, and nothing occurred during the
day to disturb the equanimity of the
most timid. Some of the weakened
trembled on the occasion, as they inva.
riably do when responsibility is to be
met-thinking, perhaps, there would be
a split in the party. But the friends Of
peace prevailed, and principle was pre-
served amid the CHATTER of some peoples
teeth. Heresy was compelled to give
way before true and genuine Demo
cratic principles, which must at all
times prevail if prosperity should
deign to smile upon our country.
The Democratic colors we're never
lowered, and no compromise Of Demo
cratic dogmas agreed to, aud all the talk
about the olive branch thrown out is the |
merest bosh. Why don't the Ara-
lanche come out like an honest, digni6ed |
and manly journal aud say at once that
il was compelled to surrender at discre-
tion2 If compromise was effected we
are unable to divine it, and would rather
have split asunder the party than yield
Que lot or title of the true faith. II our
contemporary was willing, for the
time, to forego further discussion Of the
negro suffrage question. awaiting the &C
ton of the Convention hereafter. we
think such a course commendable. For
II Journal was ever forced to the wall
upon the great issues before people. the
Araidnche was so, in this instance, be-
yond controversy. We were glad that our
neigbbor, after second, sober thought,
concluded to support the white peoples
ticket, aud agree to the action Of our
Convention. His desperate course ether
wise would have eventusted in political
ruin TO himself and few old fogy
friends. We rejoice with exceeding great
joy that the prodigal son has returned,
and hereby announce that we will now
kill our stump-tail, democratic ball and
have him served in every way imaginable,
that our friends may be called together
and rejoice with US. The young. hercu-
lean Democracy Of this comfy has
gained its second great victory. and
will not lie content until it has swept
the field of every enemy.

were quiet again, and all began to settle
themselves for sleep, when the silence was
broken by our heroine: kitty, is you

Deep and Shallow Plowing.

The following are the remarks of Ho-
race Greedy, recently made at one If tho
American Institute Farmers Club, when
the subject Of deep ploughing vas up for
discussion
q have not much to say, but will read
on deep blowing from book which many
think is good authority. Behold there
went out sower to SOW: and it came to
pass as he sowed some fell by the wayside.
and the fowls ofthe air came and devourcd
it up; and some fell on stony ground,
where it had not much earth, and imme-
diately it sprang up. because At had no
depth ef earth, but when the sun was up
it was scorched, and because it had no
root it withered away. And some fell
among thorns, grew up and choked it. and
it yielded no fruit. And others fell on
good ground and did yield good fruit that
sprang up and increased, and brought forth
some thirty, some sixty and some a hun
dred fold. He that hath ears to hear let
him hear"
"Now, this is general proposition in
agriculture which holds good in all coun-
tries, latitudes and soils. I have travelled
IN Jersey, and | saw in one season of
drouth, in Atlantic County, everything
burned up, and the crops would hardly
produce the seed for want of root, as in
the authority given. The report which
has been read disregards the fact that there
they have a peculiar soil not common to
the country at large. On the American
bottom, where the subsoil is loose. enough,
one may pillow only two or three inches and
a good crop may follow, but there would
be better crop with deeper blowing. I
saw corn in California % feet high, on
which no rain had ever fallen, but the soil
TO great depth had been sort of por-
ridge by Spring overflow. I saw grapes
there which require little watering for
year or SO, but after they had become es-
tablished they did not care for ploHipg or
rain, for the root had penetrated six fees
deep. Thus it is some places require only
planting. Now, as to subsoiling, not one
twentieth part of the advantage will be
received the first year. Subsoiling is u
civilizer. Grass lands may do very well
and never be turned by the plow, provid-
ing the vegetable mould remains on the
surface. Indeed, there is much grass land
which, perhaps, will be better if never
plowed. Still, if one would raise grain
crops, they must be plowed, aud plowed
deeply. Asregards the use of lime, there
may be some ground, mostly muck, that
will stand 1000 bushels to the acre.
know an orchard that was killed by the
application of 600 bushels to-. the acre
Uusually 200 bushels will be all that land
will bear. At some future time will read
a paper on the subject of deep blowing,
for it is not generally understood. 20
