III. MCLEAN, of Round Bottom, in
this county, gives his experience, in the
REGISTER, witt the Early Rose, potato;
from one patato, cut in twelve eyes,
raising thirty-one and half pounds of
fine potatoes. This does very well for
common way OF planting. suchre-
ports are always of more value when
accompanied with an accurate state
ment of all the particulars. H. j. McC
should have told us the weight of the
potato, the date of planting, the char.
acter of the soil, the kind of manure
used, if any, and the time of its
maturity. But the results obtained
by your correspondent are iDsigniti-
cant compared with what Others
have done. In view of the high
price of seed it is important to make the
INCREASE as rapidly as possible. The
price of the Summer Rosewnl uDdoubt'
edly be such as te place 1T within the
means of all; bntsthere arc other kinds
more advertised at high prices which
claim to be earlier and more productive
than the Early Rose. The manner in
which such astonishing products have
beeu realized from a small amount ol
seed is: Make hot bed early in the
Spring and plant your potatoes ethel
cut OF whole, as you would sweet Pota
toes. As soon as it is possible there
will be no more frosts, set your sprouts
in cloudy weather in hills In the oper
ground. The potatoes in the hot bee
will throw. up crop after crop OF sprouts
When the sprouts set out have mads
side branches two or three inches Ions
cat them off and insert as cuttings anC
from these cuttings other cutting'
ad infnitum. My own experience
is hardly worth relating. Ny ground
is not congeniais to- the potato. sOthel
pressing work prevented me from Civ
ling them proper attention, and the pigs
got in and rooted up some of the bes'
hills, so that am somewhat Olsen
thused on astonishing the natives with
4 the report Of a "big yield" I bought
one pound of potatoes from George K
BullsSd last spring. In the latter par
of July harvested the tubers from the
first sprouts, all .fne, large potatoes
lying close together in the hill; weigh
forty pounds; product of cuttings gath
cred last week forty pounds. Sprout'
manured in the hill, with a compost o
swamp muck and night soil; ground
light sand; cuttings, light sand, no ma
nnre. If the weight Of Mr.. MoClean'i
potato had been given, the questior
could be decided "who beats"

making efforts to bring together, on the
occasion of the annual fair of that So
ciety at Macon, November 10th, q large
number of the most distinguished citi-

of making it an American rather than

cultivating friendly relations between

Locking UpGoId.

The New York Tribune has the follow
ing suggestions in regard to what the
Secretary of the Treasury should do in
interest and for the protection of the
business community against the gold
gam blers: sEsA ~ SAA
l. Recall and burn the gold certifi-
Gates. We do not see why the Treasury
should bank for the gold gamblers. No
public benefit results from this holding
twenty to thirty millions of gold sub.
ject to the call of the gamblers in that
commodity. The Government does not
thus favor any department of produc.
tive industry; why should it nourish q
bareful specnlationf Order the gam
blers to take away and keep their gold,
and then cancel and burn the certiti.
Gates. ''-' .-
2. Sell gold whenever the gamblers
put up the price. There is no use and
no sense in keeping fifty or sixty mil
lions of gold in the sub-treasury. Every
dollar of it beyond working balance
ought to be earning something for the
people in mitigation of the pressure OF
their debt. Ten millions would be a
very large balance to carry, while fifty
millions used in buying up and cancel.
ing bonds would save over three mil
| lions per annum to the people. Let us
pay debt instead of uselessly boarding
gold

sambo W.. Oxford.

The aristocratic miscreants who were
at the bottom of the late humiliation
put upon the best blood of New Eng
land, are about to be met by the favorite
ally of the Pilgrim sons. When they
were sorely pressed during the late
difficulty Massachusetts made up her
quota with negro troops, who fought
nobly" and sustained the honor of the
Bay State during several emergencies.
Now that the Pilgrim sons are in an
other predicament the man and brother
ID again to be called upon to do what
they couldn't. A Northern gentleman
of means" "a carpet-bag planter on the
Sea Islands), thinks he has among his
colored brethren several who could beat
the Oxford crew without regard TO race,
color or previous condition" Let the
gentlemen from Africa then come up to
the rescue for the second time and teach
these insolent Britons that as they
turned the scales of victory during the
late war so will they now turn it again.
Let Massachusetts, quota as of yore be
made mp from the late down-trodden.
New England expects every nigger to do
his duty. The boils and currants can
not be used again effectively as excuses.

Inp.rsant % Liquor Dealers.
IN . case before Che acting Commis'
lsiouer ofInternal Rsvenue this week
tie following points were considered
and decided:
1. A has paid q special tax ss whole
sale and retail liquor dealer, snd makes
n sale to B at one time and place OF ten
gallons of whisky, four and half gal,
Ions rum, one and half gallons gin an and
four and half gallons braney. Inc
questions were then submitted, are the
last three packages the sale OF whole
sale or q retail dealerf Do they require
stamping, or mott
2. A has paid q special tax asa retail
dealer, and makes a sale to of four
and q half gallons of rum and four and
q half gallons of wine, in wooden pack
ages, at one time and place. Can he do
30 under his licensef
3. Are the retail dealers in liquors
confined TO sales in wooden packages
gsuging less than five gallons Has
the size Of the package anything to do
in the casei
The decision is, in substance, as fol-
lows:
|. A, as a who lesale dealer, cannot
sell q package containing less than five
gallons. The sale of several packages
which separately contain less, but IN
the aggregate contain more than fve
proof gallons, cannot be made by
wholesale dealer. The sale of the three
last named packages is that of retail
dealer.
2. A retail dealer is limited in his
sales to less quantity than five gallons.
The sale of several packages OF the same
kind of spirits at the same time, each
containing less than five proof gallons,
but which contain in the aggregat g
more, cannot be made by retail deal :
er, but be may sell several packages {
different kinds of spirits, each contain
ing less than five proof gallons, al
though the aggregate may be more.
The sale of each kind is considered as
separate sale.
3. All packages filed by q wholesale
dealer must DO gauged and stamped
under section twsnty-fve; and in addi-
ton thereto, if containing ten gallons
or more, to be marked and braided un.
der section forty -ssven, act of July goth,
1868. Wholesale dealers must put up
their spirits in such packages as are
susceptible of receiving these stamps
and marks or brands, and admitting of
their proper cancellation; and as glass
vessels are not of that character, they
should not be used by wholesale deal
ers. No gauging, marking, stamping or
branding is required on Q retail dealers
package. Such dealers, therefore, can
use packages of any material they please.

A New Rebellion.

- =
They are having o "loyap rebellion
in Greenbrier county. 1t will be re
membered that in the "Greenbrier reg
istration cases." lately decided by the
Supreme Court of West Virginia, the
Court ordered the restoration ofsthe
Offices of Sheriff, Recorder, &C., in dis
pute, TO MCPHERSON, ROBINSON,
WALKER and LEWIS. These gentlemen,
II, will be remembersd, were tnrned out
of the ir positions by judge Nat. HAR-
RIsoN, after their names had been
stricken from the registration lists by
Doctor Caldwell. NAT. now rebels
against tho decree of the Supreme
Court. He orders his appointees not to
yield up the positions which the Su--
preme tribunal adjudged to belong to
the plaintiffs in the "Greenbrier regis
tration cases." .,....,
This is a veritable "loyap rebellion.
An inferier judge, of the "loyal" stamp,
elected by "loyap votes through the
operation of the "loyal" registration
law, sets up his mandate against the
Supreme Court and overrides its de-
crees. We see that few days ago they
had troops in Lewisburg. They were
doubtless taken there by HARRISON who
may need their'seryices to back him in
multiplying the DEGREES of the highest
tribunal in the State.
This man HARRISON, be it remem-
bered, runs the general political ma
chine in, the Green brier region.
Through his indirect influence Governor
STEVENSON has been induced to retain
Doctor CALDWELL as head devil of the
registra ton business in Gieenbrier, and
we suppose if the Governor should un-
dertake to dismiss CALDWELL, HARRISON
would resist, as he has IN the cases
cited.
