Now this is the case with my sweet
potatoe culture. 1 used to go to the
field with ten hands, and lay our four
fold the expanse in hOeing up the hills
in readiness for the plants, that I now
find necessary to expend in having the

show how easy it Is to plant an acre
with sweet potatoes, l copy the follow

"Ten lads, from 10 to 10 years of age,
at Rathbone's Clinton Garden, set out
81, 900 sweet potato plants in ID hours,
and in six days, working from to 10
hours, set out $50, 900 plants, covering
IA acres-aud the best part of the item
is, the plants live"
Now. I am able to do this rapid work
by pudding the plants, and by many
years experience have proved that
the plan is not Injurious, as I had
whimsical notions that it would be,
many years ago.

small, that can not afford to plant

ridges but two feet two inches, and 1
find that these narrow rows give better

RALEIGH, January II, 1869.


Dear yournal;-The principal theme of
importance here since my last letter, has
been the argument before the Supreme
Court in the great Injunction case-A. j.
Galloway rs the Public Treasurer and the
Chatham Railroad. The magnitude of the
Counsel enlisted on either side have COM
bined to invest this argument with tran
scendant interest. 1t was conducted with
great ability, and l am pleased to inform
you that have heard the effort, on behalf
of the plaintiff, of your own distinguished
townsman, Hon. s. j. Person, spoken Of
as by no means the least effective of the
several learned and cogent speeches which
were made. The decision of the Court is
looked for with intense anxiety. It is to
be hoped that IL will be such as will put an
efectual quietus upon the extravagant and
reckless schemes which are now pending
before the Legislature. If it should be
adverse to the Injunction, and indecisive
of the material point of the constitutional
ity of this and similar appropriations, it
will be regarded by the Ring as license
for, and an invitation to- further and more
profiigate and wantor abuses. Rumor has
it that the Chief Justice and Judge Rod
man may be- relied upon to sustain the In
junction; that Judges Resde and Settle are
as certainly the other way, and that the
"balance of power" SO to speak, is with
Judge Dick. AS soon as the decision is
rendered you shall be advised by tele-
graph, and furnished, as soon as possible,
with copy.
Thus far the Legislature has been but
skimming the surface, without taking any
of those deep plunges which agitate the
waters. There were slight indications of
serious work in either House on yester-
day, but they terminated with skirmishing.
In the lower House an effort was made as
they came up respectively on the Calendar,
to have the various railroad bills involving
appropriations indefinitely postponed, but
it Misunderstanding, however, in their post
it is anticipated the Supreme Court will
have been heard from. Pending these
an amusing episode trans
pired. DR.. Ellis, the worthy and useful
Conservative Representative from Cataw-
ba, was denouncing in no measured terms
the corrupt schemes Of the party in power,
and, in the course of his remarks, stigma
TIED the Penitentiary transaction as an
atrocious swindle. Whereat up rose old
Downing. the somnolent Knight from
Union, in dudgeon high and mighty an

reminder that he was a member
