HUMANE AND JUsr.-The Rev. Mr.. rockingham
delivered discourse in New York on the day of
the decoration of the graves of the Union dead,
which concluded as follows:
mean all who died in the war were equally vic
Tins. The southerner and the northGrner-those
who fell with us and those who fell against US, all
we're victims laid on the same altar. would wish
that we do all this rs nation: Let ~ srew these
fo,oers not ON nerthern graucs alone, but southern
graues also. They were equally brave, they were
as equally faithful to their ideal; their valor was
common, their feeling was common, their endeavor
was common, and the same devotion to their cause
was common to each and each side was devoted
10 its ideal-one side no less entirely than the
other. Northerner and southerner each cherished
his purposes, each had hope, each was full Of con-
fdence of The ability of his God each opened his
Bible each made his prayers to the same Deity
who directed the battle; they were common VIC
Tins, laid on a common altar, in common cause.
Oh We ought by this time TO be able to do justice
to the purposes well as to the spirit of foes.
They bore more than we did; they sacrificed more
than we did. Their homes were burned over their
heads by fiery shells, ours were left untouched
They are obliged to bow their heads as conquered,
we are privileged to raise ours as conquerors,
,oould drop tear on one Of their graves quickly as
one of our opn and am willing TO affirm that The
guilt was not theirs alone We were all sinners
together. These men filled their place,
not shrinking, not swerYing. They only knew
that they were under orders, and In their place.
Whoever they were, let US remember that they did
their duty; they were good soldiers 1t was
great word sweet, lovely, il is TO die for ones
country. greater word is this :.weeter, lovelier,
is it to live that ones country shall be sweet
and lovely.

The Cow Pea as Fertilizer for Wheat.

We have long been satisfied, from actual
experiment, that the common COW pea of
the Southern States, when properly man.
aged, afford the best and, at the same
time, the cheapest medium for the resto-
ration Of our exhausted cotton fields. Its
effects have been as lasting and as marked
upon the fertility of our soils as that of
clover upon the worn and exhausted
lands of Virginia and Maryland.
The main reason why the COW pea has
not been heretofore extensively used as a
fertilizer was owing to the fact that pre-
vious to emancipation our planters would
not give up sufficient portion of their
lands to await the rather slow effects of
this most valuable fertilizer. Now, how
ever, when every planter has large pro-
portion of his poor lands lying idle, there
is no excuse why the pea should not be
set in every field not absolutely nocessa-
ry for corn or cotton.
Now is the best time to plant the pea,
and we desire te give our agricultural
friends the result of careful experiment
made by a planter in Gwinnett county to
encourage them to make similar efforts.
Our Gwinnett planter had piece Of
old exhausted land, twenty acres Of
which had been lying in Broom sage for
number of years. This he broke deep
with turn plow in the Summer, and in
the succeeding Fall put down in wheat.
The crop, carefully measured, was little
less than four bushels to the acre.
As soon as the wheat was cut he SOW.
ed peas at the rate of two bushels TO the
acre. Early in October the peas were
turned under with deep furrow, and
few weeks later wheat was sown and
carefully narrowed in upon the pea sod.
The yield from the crop was nine bushels
to tho acre, little more than double the
first years crop.
The field was again sown in peas as
soon as the wheat was harvested and
turned under as before in the Fall, and
wheat sown upon the soil. The yield
this year was seventeen and a half bushels.
The fourth year, with the same treat
ment, he made twenty-seven bushels, and
this (the fifth year) tho crop bids fair TO
make forty bushels. Nothing has been
applied to the land as a fertilizer except
the pea, and we find that in five years.
with the cow pea alone, the production
has been increased ten-fold. This actual
experiment speaks moro for the pea than
any argument which we could make.
We trust some of our planting friends
will be induced to try the pea on the
next crop of wheat and let US know the
result of their experiment,-Gronicle and
Sentinel.
