The town was laughing yesterday at the
reply Of General Clanton to a toast offered
to "Boston" at supper given night before
last to the Boston capitalists who have
gotten possession of the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad. The General being
called on to reply to toast to Boston, -
said he was happy to pay his respects to a
city which had just elected Democratic
Mayor, which was the cradle of the Ku-
Klux-Klan, in having originated that first
disguised band which threw the tea into
the harbor, and which was the home Of
John Hancock, who, when Governor of
the State, sent his aid-de-camp to receive
President Washington, declaring that the
President was the agent of the States, and
should wait upon tue Governor and not
the Governor upon the President. We
suppose the Boston capitalists swallowed
the joke and the oysters at the same time

Truck Farming.

We desire to call special attention to the
interesting and practical report t1om the
committee to take into consideration the
cultivation of Fruits and Vegetables, made
to the recent meeting of the Cape Fear
Agricultural Association in this city, and
published in our columns this morning
This business is destined to become one OF
absorbing interest and great success IN THIS
section at an early day, and If the present
owners of lands do not Immediately avail
themselves of the advantages which climate
and rapid transportation have placed IN
their hands, then others will grow rlch
from their want of energy and enterprise
Na+ure has done all for US that We could
ask. Our lands are adapted to almost any
crop, and the salubrity Of our climate aids
the fertility of our soil. Cotton rice'
ground peas, corn and other standard crops,
can be grown with success in fields adloln-
ine the finest orchards and vineyards and
truck farms in the world. It requires only
INTELLIGENT energy to make this whole sec
ton Of country blossom esthe rose. VIII
we do it? Will we be deferred by partial
failures caused 10y want OF experience and
reliable labor These are comparatively
small obstacles in the way Of assured sue
cess. and VIC deserve to fail il they prove
stumbling blocks in our path.
Let our farmers preserve copy OF this
report. It contains valuable information
derived from experienced men. 1t deals
not in generalities, but points the way to
practical results. We have the assurance
that our railroads will make reliable al
engagements to transport with certainty and
without delay, all the fruits and vegetables
which come to them. Published schedules
will keep all advised as to departure of the
trains, and in no way will failure of theirs
interfere with the success of the producer,
but all energies will be bent to foster this
growing business. Let our farmers give
this matter fair and thorough trial, and
they may rely upon the assurance that sue
cess will depend upon their own exertions,
and that their labors will not be deprived
of any remuneration through the careless
ness CT neglect of others.

The Cultivation of Fruits and Vegetables.
The committee to whom was referred
the subject of the cultivation of fruits and
vegetables respectfully report
That they have given the subject al the
consideration that they were able to bestow
upon it, and submit very briefly their views.
We have selected from the great variety
of fruits, grapes and vegetables the kinds
that have been found to be best suited to
our climate and soil, and, while there are
many other varieties that may be cultlva-
ted with profit, the varieties we describe
will amply repay their production and will
generally be found most profitable.
We give the following directions as given
by Messrs Cannon & Co.:
PEARs-We plant 200 Dwarf pears to an
acre. They cost about 40 cents each.
After third year will average one bushel to
the tree, and will attCayS net $40 per
bushel-sent in bushel boxes.
PEACHEs-We plant 100 to the acre.
They cost about 500 per thousand. After
the second year they will average one
bushel to the tree, and will sell from So to
$40 per bushel. This season the Georgia
peaches sold out Of the New York steamers
at $40 per bushel. Wilmington peaches
arrive there in much better condition and,
if improved varieties are planted, will sell
as we'll or better-sent in bushel boxes.
STRAwBERRIEs-We put out 10, 1000 plants
to the acre, which cost about,,S "a per 900,
an average yield of 5000 quarts to the
acre, which sell for 81 so per quart for the
earliest and 10 cents for the latest-the
average net at Norfolk this year being 80
cents per quart-beginning here May 10th
aud ending une 10th. Parties have cleared
81, 600 al acre this year-in pint and quart
baskets.
! BLACKBERRIEs-Mos desirable is Will
sons early for the South Their average
yield is $500 quarts per acre, and, this
| year and last, those sent from Jersey shore
averaged over 40 cents per quart. They
require but little cultivation, it being done
entirely with the pillow. 1900 vines are
generally set to the acre, and they remain
in good bearing condition for 30 or 80
years. They ripen Immediately after the
Straw berries, and they are stripped in the
same boxes and crates used for Strawberries.
PEAs.-Peas should be planted in Janu-
airy at Wilmington, 1! bushels to the acre
The Hancock Pea is best. Price $40 per
bushel.. Average yield so to 80 barrels in

WASHINGTON, Dec, IS 1868.
The peculiar friends of General Grant
are becoming alarmed at the signs Of the
times. For the purpose Of dissuadiDg the
leading spirits from any premature hos
tility, they hasten to asseyerate in the
strongest terms the abject submission to
the will and superior judgment of Con
gress of the incoming hero and cOnqueror.
80 far" say they, from having express
ed an emphatic opinion in favor OF the re-
peal Of the Ciyil-Tenure law, General
Grant to-day, in reference to published
statement to which his attention had been
called, said he had not given any attention
to the subject, as he thought the matter
properly belonged to Congress, which body
understood tho question better than he
did himself" The Chronicle, whose editor
knows the falsity OF this statement, IS it
stands, nevertheless copies it, for the pur-
pose of insinuating o few words of comfort
to the General, and at the same time pre-
pairing him for additional Congressional
manacles. 1t says:
eff there is O. desire to retain the Ten
Office act upon the statute books,
it will only be in order to preserve the
check it would impose upon bad Presi-
dent at somo future day, and it will un-
doubtedly receive all notifications which
may be needed to enable President Grant
to proceed untrammeled in the grand work
of overhauling the civil service"
The meaning of this paragraph is, that
Senators viii not part with an iota of pow
er they now possess; but that, inasmuch as
the Senate has somewhat tied its own
hands, as well as those of the President,
by tho act Of March 2, 1867, it will con-
sent to such notifications of the law as
will enable Congress to proceed at once
with " the grand work of overhauling the
civil service" In other words, as the law
now stands, it will be found difficult to
reach certain class of incumbents. This
must be remedied-but in q way that will
increase the preponderance of Senatorial
authority! The subterfuge, [ own, is gau-
Zy, but it is thought to be quite compact
enough to blind the "hero - for the pres
ent.
In the meantime, Senators who hold the
power of the State in the hollow of their
hands. keep aloof from the General
This course does not show proper spirit
on their part, nor is it justified by con-
sideration Of delicacy or honor. Besides

But yet soft breeZes with his thin locks play,
Ncattering his sadness with jocund laugh,
While the great sun yet warns in his behalf,
and with his darts keeps Winter still at bay.

Serenely smiles the slow declining Year.

And waits his coming end without fear.
