who aid 1l.e Work

The Vicksburg Republican is our au-
thority for stating that Aygatt Anderson,
and Stringer, members OF the Committee
of Sixteen, did, actually before leaving
Washington, file written request to Gen.
Grant to mark out for expurgation, the
the DISTINGUISHING clauses of the proposed
Constitution The condescension and
liberality Of these people overwhelm us.
They had besieged Congress, without
avail, four months to induce it to force
these clauses on the people. Gen. Grant
had emphatically snubbed them, saying
that the clauses had been rejected" as
they Fought to have been" He had sent
a special message advising that body to
pass a law submitting the Constitution in
a manner to enable the people to vote
down the infamous clauses, and his re-
commentator had been carried out in
spite Of all Eggleston, Anderson, Stringer
II Co. could do, and say, and swear
against re-submitting the Constitution or
interfering with the programme of their
Committee in any way.
Who win now say that the people of
Mississippi are not indebted, after all, to
the Eggleston-Stringer faction, represented
by the Committee of Sixteen, for deliver
ance from the iniquitous provisions of the
Constitution which Eggleston, Stringer
& Co., framed?

III. o. DIXON, Esq,
DEAR SIR: Some weeks ago Dr. HHRard
handed me your letter 70 him accompanying
some specimens Of Soils and sub-Soils' from
your place.
They were placed IN the hands Of DR..
Smith for analysis aud he has this morning
given me the result, which enclose for your
use. The first thing 70 be noticed j. the dli-
ference In the soil and sub-sOil la the
amount Of insoluble matter per 90. seeou-
ly, the large proportion Of useful ingredi-
ents contained in the sub-soil, potash. lime,
sulphuTic and phOsphoric acid, thirdly.
the small amount of lime compared with
other soils, showing that you can apply, 70
great advantage, the marls Of Jackson.
which are so readily accessible. Fourth. the
subsoil absorbs nearly twice as much mOis-
ture from a saturated atmosphere as the soil
does This indicates the Improvement
which you can effect by subsoling, as well
as the fact that the subsoil Is 50 much richer
In useful ingredients.
What your land needs then Is, LIST. Sub
soiIing; ID. 100 to 300 bushels per acre Of
Jackson mari Sd. As much stable manure
as you can get; 9TH. All the bones you can
get, allowed to remain In moist ash pile for
several months, applied, first 20 your garden
and then 10 your field; 9TH. Stable lots and
barn yards so arranged as that you VIII lose
none of the excrement, solid or liquid, that
your cattle will furnish.
The very small proportion Of Snlphuric
Acid suggests the use Of Gypsons maris
which are found In Railroad cuts, near Clin-
ton, and the similar want OF Phosphoric
Acid makes 1t advisable 70 apply as soon as
possible, bone manure or super phosphates.
Hoping TO hear the results Of your ex-
periments, and with best wishes for your
success, Iremain,
Very respectfully,

ehissPS labor fOE sRe South.

We published in recent impression a
letter from a resident of California who
Is well known to many of our citizens, re-
commencing Chinese laborers as adinira-
bly, suited TO the requirements of the
South. Relating his own experience, the
writer Of the letter stated that one China
man would be worth two common lahorers;
and that Cinnamon could be emploved n
reasonable wages They subsist on a very
small quantity Of cheap food. As an
evidence OF their working capacity. we
will mention that they performed the
principal part of the work on the Cen
trail Pacific Railroad. Ten thousand of
them have been thrown out of employ
ment by the completion of the Road. =
They have gwen good satisfaction in sew
el,d Louisiana parishes, where they have
been employed on the plantations.
The completion Of the Pacific Railroad
offers the opportunity which is needed
tor an influx Of these laborers. We pro
pose that planters shall form associations
and establish agencies IN the Pacific re
gIon to carry out this ohiect-not to drive
out the Ethiopian element-but to cult
vate the lands that remain vacant through
out the Southern States.
2 If the services of our respected fellow
citizen, Maj. F. S. Hunt, could be en-
gagged in this enterprise, we are sure that
If it cannot be made success, Its prac-
ticabihty will be thoroughly tested at all
events.

Interesting 10 AgricuTturists.

The correspondence between Mr.. III. o.
Dixon, of this vicinity, and the state
Geologist, with the accompanying analysis
of the soil composing the lands of the
former, will be read with interest by all
who are concerned on the subject OF the
agricultural progress of our State We
regret that Mr.. Dixon did not give MI
mute description of the natural growth OF
the forests on his lands in order that the de-
auctions drawn by the State Geologist from
the analysis, and the principles laid down
for the improvement of the soil, might
have been more readily understood and
generally applied. 1t is our impression
that the growth of these lands are mostly
hickory, blackjack and the various de-
scriptions of oak, which prevail generally
in the uplands of our State not embraced
in the pine region.
1t is demonstrated that these lands most
need certain fertilizers which abound in
our midst, to bring them to the highest
condition of fertility. Practical men will
not fail to profit by the information. 1t
is idle to leave the salubrious upland re-
gion for the swamps with their death
breeding malaria, in search of fertile soil
when it can be made equally as produc-
tive by triffiing expense and a little at
tention. Besides, there is no method by
which labor can be so efectually cheap
ened as the enrichment of the soil. An
acre that viii yield seventy-five bushels of
corn, or two bales of cotton, can be cult
waited with as little expense as if it pro
duced but ten bushels of the one, or
fourth of bale of the other. To reduce
the cost of production, let it be the con-
slant endeavor of every farmer to enrich
his lands and economic labor by the use
of the modern implements invented for
that purpose.

A letter originating in the Pilot, and
purporting to be written by Union
Whig,' but really by a carpet-bagger who
has stolen the livery of heaven to serve
the devil in, is going the rounds of the
carper-baggers' journals of the State,
which is so absurdly false that we have
not thought it worthy of our notice.
The gravemen of this article is, that
''when the canvass of 1868 opened, there
was in the field a Constitutional Union
party :" that it was composed of old
Union Wings and bona fde Reconstruc-
tionists," and that ''the Editor of THE
''CLARIoS led the onslaught against it
that it was captured finally and forced it
into the Democratic party and more Of
that sort of stuff.
Now, the truth is 'the Constitutional
Union party" was composed of original
Democrats and Wings who, so far from
having been "bona fde Reconstruction
lists" were the persons that originally OPP
posed accepting the congressional plan OF
reconstruction. The INSTRUMENTATION
lists became the Constitutional Unionists.
The Editor of THE CLARION was not Y
member of the Constitutional Union Con
vention when it merged itself into the
National Democratic party, and had moth
ing whatever to do with its action. 1t
was presided over by an Old Line Wing
who co-operated in the movement, TO take
the name of National Democracy.
Judge Yerger, TO whom reference is
made by the disguised carpet-bag writer,
was a 'bona fde Reconstructionist," and
consequently was NOT member Of the
Constitutional Union party.
We are paying more attention to this
transparent humbugery than it deserves,
but to make the story short we propose to
the Pilot--its wolfin-sheep' s-clothing
respondent, and its copyists, that if they
will name the Constitutional Unionists,
whom they are willing to support
in the coming canvass, for the sake of
''peace," we will adopt them as our can
didates also. Whatever differences THE
CLARION may have had with them on the
question of reconstruction, are forgotten in
the larruping which we unitedly gave the
Eggleston party in the late canvass, and
cannot be called to mind in the prospect
of still more signal triumph this sum-
mer, fall, winter, or whenever the cleo
ton is ordered. How will Judge Potter
do? He was member of the Constitu-
tional Union party-was Union man
originally-is Union man still, and what
is more, is gentleman and a scholar,
which is more than can be said of some
of the people who aspire to places in the
South, if distinguished and intelligent Re
publican editors like Mr.. Medill, of the
Chicago Tribune, and Maj. Wofiord, of
the Corinth News, are to be b elieved.

For wonder the carpet-bag faction

1t affords Us sincere pleasure to publish
the letter of this gentleman, presenting a
fair basis of cooperation against the Pro
scriptionists. A Republican of the straight
est sect, he has opposed the policy of dis
franchisement from the beginning; and
none louder than he warned the Eggle-
ston party in the Convention, of which
he was a member, that they would be
overwhelmed with popular odium if they
went into the canvass with this
heresy inscribed on their banners Still
adhering to this liberal view, dictated by
patriotic considerations, and the soundest
principles of political philosophy, he OPP
posed the subsequent attempt of that fac
lion to accomplish, by Congressional in
PREVENTION, what they had failed to do at
the ballot-box. And now standing on
the edge of another struggle, he still OPP
poses prescription and its advocates, and
in the spirit of true brotherhood, declares
that he sis agreed with all moderate Re
publicans, and with all others regardless
Of their antecedents, who desire to coop
crate in removing the causes that have
obstructed the unity of action necessary
in the work of liberal reconstruction. y
This language, interpreted by the straight
forward, manly and patriotic course of
its author in the Convention, and subse-
quently, admits of no misconstruction.

The Eggleston-Gibbs faction promul-
gated in their recent meeting in this city,
that they have repudiated the odious pol
icy of Acknowledgement Sin conformity
to the enlightened and liberal spirit of
the party" If this be the esprit of the
party, it exists in spite of the efforts Of
the Egglestonians to quench it. They in
corporated the heresy of disfranchise-
ment in their proposed constitution. They
denounced Gen. Gillem because he would
not falsely report that it had not been de-
feated. They read Messrs. Jeffords,
'Woford, Fisk and others, out of their
party, as "bolters," because they opposed
their scheme TO force it on the people af-
ter its rejection. For four months they
beseiged the President and Congress to
overrule their verdict at the ballot-box.-
They went so far ~ TO swear on the Holy
Evangelist, that this abominable heresy
which they are but too willing now to dis
avow, was the 'only hope and safety Of

We put this question to the Carpet

have the temerity to admit that he be-
longs to the Eggleston faction, have they
professed to discard the policy of dis
franchising the resident white population
because they have discovered their own
error; or because they think the latter
have become truly loyal, and can be
trusted with participating in the manage
