Letter from DIR. Philips ON Cotton
Culture.

CHATAwA, Miss. Aug. 10Th, 1859.
Editor Clarion II have been requested to
communicate the best method of c@ltivating
cotton to prevent the bolls from falling off.
1t is very true with much cotton it is now
too late, yet on good lands where the stalk
is still in vigorous growth some good may
be done.
The only certainty to give full crop be-
gins at the preparation, thorough, deep
ploughing and pulveIization. do not be-
lieve in deep ploughing and subsoiling n'a-
der the plant desiring q firm footing but six
inches and more from it. Subsoiling where
land will not hold water is eminently adj
vantageous, not only in keeping land moist,
but In draining surplus water from the
plant. In good to rich land, high full
ridge, never cutting it down, stirring the
earth often, say every ten to fifteen days
regularly, not ploughing, nor deep culture
but with horseshoe, sweep, cultivator, or
even q harrow, and stirring the earth ever
until September.
The mass of farmers "lsy-by" cotton too
soon, thinking IL the earth be clean no need
of work. The fact is, grass should never be
permitted to be "eight days old" so as to re-
ceive its christening" and the earth should
be stirred say two or three inches, but not
turned over to dry.
Yours, sincere
M. w. PHILIPS.

Grant and Mississippi.

Judge Dent, Mr.. Grants Mississippi broth
er-in-law, has written a letter, protesting
against the proposed interference in the cleo
ton in Mississippi. He reveals the fact, that
it was Mr.. Grant who foiled the radical car
pet-baggers in their attempt.to force the
defeated constitution upon the people of
Mississippi. But since Wendell Phillips
bawled to northern radicals, ITO your tents,
o Israeli Grant has turned sudden and
complete somersault.
All that the Mississippi conservatives ever
sought or ever desired to gain from Mr..
Grant was an assurance that the military
officers in that State should not interfere !;
that they would limit their operations to the
preservation of public order, keeping the
peace, and compelling respect of the laws,
but not debating which party should sue
coed. All they asked was fair play. All
they desired was that the result should be a
fair and honest expression of the people at
the ballot-box. They did not ash Mr.. Grant
to hep them. They appreciated the tact that
to mingle at any time, or in any manner, in
State elections, is shameful thing for a
President of the United States to DO. They
felt no wish that he should do a thing so un-
becoming the proper dignity of his high Of
flee. For they felt perfectly confident that,
aaless federal bayonets should be employed to
prevent fair election, they could saceep the
State by majority so Overwhelming that scarce
" a Uestige Of radicdtism s0ould remain. They
feetthe same confidence non. MIR. Grant may
turn out all the conservative federal office
holders in the State. and may keep on turn
ing them out. He may hold interviews
with all the Tarbells on the continent; he
may proclaim as frequently as shall please
him his desire for radical success; yet, if he
will keep his bayonets within Their lawful
range, Judge Dent eoiu be made GoueTRor Of
Mississippi by a triumphant majority. This is
what Judge Dent tells his Presidential
brother-in-law. And he puts the case even
in stronger light. He tells him that the
Mississippi conservatives will carry the
State even in spite of the bayonets.

the best mode OF giving a darker shade
to his hair. The young pupil had been
previously pointing out the particulars OF
a lecture he had heard, and which was
upon the nature Of the hair. A solution
OF nitrate of silver, he said, he had no
doubt would have the desired effect.
lhe solution was, he said, to be used in
considerable quantity in short, he was
to wash the whole head in this fluid
Accordingly the young gentleman applied
1t on going TO bed, and put ON his night
cap comfortably, only Il little wet On
washing his head with the solution, the
| fluid naturally wetted the greater part of
his face, ard whatever part of the skin
1t touched, it left its mark. The next
morning the victim was first seen by his
brother, who, bclicvcing him suffering
under sutfocatiOn or some terrible dream,
alarmed the the whole house. The alarm,
however, soon subsided in all except the
mortified patient, whose face was the
color of an old shoe The skin received

fursant to the notice OF the committee
large number of citizens met at the
Village Hall to hear what had been done
to secure further railroad facilities for
the town. Mr.. Taft, for the committee.
reported that they had seen the manag-
ers of the Montpelier and St. Johnsburv
corporation, and had asked of them per
mission for towns south of Danville to
make subscriptions to their stock The
answer was substantially that the books
were closed, so far as those localities
were concerned. Still the committee
were in hopes that circumstances might
arise which would induce the managers
to modify their present decision there
fore they presented resolution that the
town should bond itself for $500, 900,
placing the money i'll the hands of COM
mlssioners, who would be overpowered
to subscribe for stock, if they could get
the opportunity.
The friends of this plan favored it
mainly because the amount which might
be raised under the Wells River charter
was only 800, ZOO, while under the St
Johnsbury one the law did not limit the
amount. This proposition and several
others were debated with the utmost Wig
or and enthusiasm by many of our most
prominent citizens. We have no wish
TO give even an abstract of the remarks
of the various speakers it is enough to
say that there were nearly as many plans
Us there were speakers, and each man was
confident, Of course that his scheme was
the true one. The result of the whole
was, TO most, painful conviction that
a Montpelier town meeting was not the
place to build railroads in. The differen-
ces Of opinion among the men who must
bear the brunt certainly seemed vital,
and thus were most disheartening. The
meeting finally adjourned without taking
any definite action. In one sense per-
haps some good was accomplished peo-
pie now understand fully what their
neighbors think and what they are want
III. to do. Every speaker expressed
himself in favor O: railroad somewhere,
anl we can rightly enough have some
faith that the good sense of our people,
aided by the freedom of private discus
sion, will. before the next meeting, eha-
blc Us TO show a united from: on some
thing. If that result can he secured the
discussion of Monday evening will have
been OF some advantage Montpelier

Having read and interesting article in
the Cultivator of the 9TH ult, headed
Treatment of Persons apparently
drowned" i will give statement of
facts in relation to the drowning, or the
apparently drowning, of a young man
who was at work for me on a farm, in
the summer Of 81, in Barnet, Caledonia
Co: he was fishing on a small lake in
tie west part of that town alone he was
koncked out of his boat into the deep
water by the recoil of his rifle while
shooting ducks, on account of the ball
sticking when nearly down in the barrel
lis weight, which was Il lbs, took him
to the bottom, but with considerable eX-
erton he regained the surface, caught
the oar Of the boat, which was drifting
away, that slipped off the rowlock, and
left him to sink the second time, with
the rifle clenchcd 50 tightly in his right
hand that he could not let go of it;
then it was that he tried to gain the
shore by travelling on the bottom,-th
only chance for life,-which he did,
and family remembered Of vomiting wa
ter and being in terrible agony. He lay
cd there unconscious soma sc hours, or
from Friday noon until early Sunday
morning, at which time heavy thunder
storm passed over, accompanied with
sharp lightning; at that time he became
conscious, gradually remembered of hav-
ing been knocked into the water, found
his face and shoulder bruised, and his
whole right side nearly paralysed.
ask, was it the the electricity from
clouds in connection with the steel 1-bar-
relied rifle, that brought that young man
to life , Had he been missed and search
ed for, and found in that unconscious
state, would he ever have shown sighs
of life ?
After travelling and crawling on his
hands and knees, he reached his fathers
house, nearly tamished, with his rifle
still clunched in his hand. He was put
under the care Of DR.. Crosby of Hanover,

present state of health, and who justly
remarked that it was the most marvel

\ CALCULArIoN.-I am writing to
Young men who have the whole scope OF
life before them. You are clerk in a
store, with Il salary of S500-perhaps
500. By stinting here and there you
can Just bring the year round. 1t is Il
long, long look ahead, and your brightest
day-drcam OF the future is not very bright
Now take 4 look in this direction You
can get 100 acres of land for $500. Il
you obtain it near a railroad it will cost
S4OO 1t will cost IS an acre TO pillow
the ground and prepare it for the first
crop, beside the fencing. But the first
crop will more than pay the entire out
lay for ground, fencing and plowlng.
Five years hence the land will be worth
Sl5 to SO per acre. This is no fancy
sketcn. 1t is simply statement as to
what has been the experience OF thou
sands of people OF Minnesota.
Think OF it young men who are rub
bing along from year to year, with nc
great expectations for the future. Can
you hold plow Can you drive a span
of horses? Can you bid good-by to the
theatre and turn your back upon the
crowds in the street! Can you accept
for a while the solitude of nature, have a
few hard knocks for 4 year or two
