Professor Charles U. Shepard, in a recent
paper, says:
THE planter viii never obtain the best eff.
fects of artificial fertilizers until he incorpo.
rates them largely with composts of stable
manure, vegetable muck and wood ashes.
The idea Of trusting to few hundred pounds

the same area with ten or fifteen tons of n

We reprint to day lengthy and able
article from the Wheeling intelligence"
of yesterday upon the question of rebel
enfranchisoment. Discussing the ques-
tion from a Republican standpoint, it
takes broad ground in favor of the bu-
rial of the dead issues of the war, and
the removal OF the disabilities imposed
in West Virginia upon those of our citi.
zeus who participated in the rebellion,
We ask for this article the calm peruSal
and dispassionate consideration of all
our readers.
We will not attempt to disguise the
pleasure with which We note the as
sumption of this position by our cotem'
porary. We have aO doubt tha
10 ox pressing its own views upon this
important subject, the IRtelhgsHcer rep
rescuts at the same time the opinions o
large and influential poytion OF TIT
thinking and libcral-minded m en- OF th'
Republican party. Having advocated
81 nee the close of the war, the adoption
ufsuch magnanimouS measures rs wouI'
secure the very object now ayOwed by
the IRteiiIgsR GER, we, in common will
the masses of the Democracy, cannot
but appreciate this forward movement
on the part of the leading organ and, a
We trust, the leading men of the domi
nant party in West Virginia.
1t is true, we are not prepared to en-
dorss the reasoning by which the IHtel
hgsnser reaches its conclusions. We dc
not advocate the removal of disabili
ties on the ground that the rebels are
Roo harmless, because we do not be,

following:
"Several days ago a child residing
with its parents in the northern part Of
the city, was stricken down with the
smallpox, and after four or FIVE days
illness, became, to all appearance, life
less, and rs has become usual in this city
the preparations for the burial of the
corpss were hurried forward with all
possible speed. In four hours after
death was supposed to have taken place,
the child WAS placed in a coffin and con
veyed to Lone Mountain for burial.
There were but few persons in attend
ance, and they, although they had had
the disease, manifested an anxiety to
get through with the task and away
from the graveyard. The grave had
been prepared, and som Of the attend
ants took hold Of the coffin for the pur-
pose Of conveying 1t to the grave, when
their attention was attracted by q noise
inside the coGin-similar to that pro-
duced by scratching the sides of \ box
with the finger-nails. The coffin was
Immediately opened, when it wal found
that the child vat not dead. 1t was
still breathing, and moving unsssily in
its narrow bed. 1t was carried to a
shelter, and efforts were made to restore
more animation. = A physician was sent
for, and arrived, but before he did so,
death had come this time, not in fsign-
ing, but in reality. After the physician
had pronounced death to be certain,
the remains were again placed in the
coffin, and consigned to the earth.
