ELooENcE OF Tom FITCH.-Mr. Fitch
has at last made himself heard in Congress.
His first speech was in reply to Wood of
New York, who charged the Republicans
with entertaining feelings of vindictive
hatred against the Southern people. Fitch's
reply was eloquent and telling Here is a
brief extract:
Sir, it is not true that Congress is ami
mated by any spirit of vengeance or even
of retribution toward that people. 1t may
be that we are not inclined to entrust the
control of this Government to those who
SO very lately endeavored to destroy it. II
may be that we shall continue to interpose
to strike the lash out of fingers from which
we recently wrenched the sword. 1t may
be that we do not eelany delicate obligation
of gratitude toward Jefferson Davis, OF
tender emotions of friendship toward the
jailors of Andersonville. 1t may be that
we believe that Farragut sailed into Mobile
Bay for some other purpose than to give
Raphael Semmes an Office, and that Sher
man did not blaze his tail of fire through
Georgia merely to light sunrepentant and
unpardoned rebels the way to seats in Con.
gress. 1t may be that we honor those
who stood by the country in her hour o.
triumph. 1t may be that we shall moi
strike the word traitor from our literature
that we shall not forget the names or the
deeds of our heroes. These things all ma,
be, and yet believe that the Republican
party in this House and in the countr,
earnestly desire peace. l believe that W,
seek only to remove, thoroughly remove
the blight and mildew of secession from Of
the fair face of the South; to reopen he
ports to commerce, restore her great mart
to thrift, her fields to opulence, her peopl
to contentment, to prosperity, to voice il
the government of the nation.

RESERVED PEoPLE.-Men have been
distinguished from beasts, say the loqua-
cious, proudly, by the gift of of speech
True; but have they not also been dis
tinguished by the gift of silence They
are not constrained to purr, or to wag their
tails when pleased, or to howl and carter
waul when they are in extremities they
are allowed to reserve their motions The
human cOuntenancc, the most delicate
indicator of feeling, the dial that may with
its record fix the shadow of every fitting
passion, can silence its indications at will,
and become 4 mere blank. A decent
gravity of expression may cover anger
tenderness may hide itself behind the wall
of compressed lips; exultation may bury
itself under downcast eyelids movement
of joy may shelter itself beneath the
wrinkles of the brow, or the whole features
in combination may be ordered by the COM
manding officer to stand at ease in total re-
pose while the thoughts arr full of war and
tumult. No other creature but man has
this power; it is high privilege which
must be used by all men more or less.
Those who use it the less are recognized
as the frank and open; those who use it
the more as the reserved and close.

SMELrINa IN WHITE PINE.-The pro.

SMELLING IN WHITE PINE--The pro-
cess of smelling silver-bearing ores dates
back to the days of Solomon, and even
anterior to the years when his reign was
prolific with the gorgeous wealth that his
tory details with such romance and inviting
charms. Lead and other refractory ores,
bearing silver in quantities from $50 to
SlOO ton, will readily yield handsome
profit before the lurid heat of simple con
structed furance, provided there is sufficient
carbonate of lead or cube galena-the
former being the most desireble-to carry
down the silver, acting the same as quick
silver, in anal lgamating pans by mill pro-
cess. A Stag is formed which if not pure
and free from minute globular particules
of silver, shows negligence on the part of
the smelter, and at once condemns the in
stitution. The character Of ore that will
easily yield to the furnace exists in mex
haustible quantities in the range west of
Treasure City, and carries with it all the
requisite combinations necessary for its
rapid and economical conversion into fine
silver. Nature has supplied with gener-
GUS hand everything to facilitate the oper-
ton of smelling, SO that nothing remains to
warrant success in every enterprise of this
nature but the display of ordinary skill in
the construction of the furnaces and the
proper application of the blast Cupular
furnaces are, probably, the best adapted
for our rebellious ores, as the reverberatory
style would involve an additional expense
in crushsng the ore by the battery White

GENIUS REwARDED-A fewM nights
since lady living on Nilsson street was
alarmed by hearing burglar in the lower
portion of the house, her husband being
away at the time. The lady was terribly
alarmed when she remembered that her
only companion was her little daughter,
bright girl of twelve Summers The DO
liceman was not within call and the burglar
could be heard as he groped around below
What could she do to save herself and
property? The little girl solved the prob
lem, for she too had heard the noise and
was fully alive to the situation Slipping
from the bed she went softly to closet,
and, taking thence her fathers boots, she
put them on her tiny feet and walked
heavily across the floor toward the head of
the stairs, and from thence she tramped
down two or three steps, when the burglar,
thinking he heard a " coming man" broke
from the house and ran away The brave
little girl gave the alarm to officer Stiles as
he came along, but though he searched the
yard, he could not find the frightened bur-
glar- Chronicle.

HARD TIMEs-Soft heads are constantly
talking about hard times. This cry does
not come from workingmen nor poor men
but from a class of chronic croakers who are
a curse to any community. We hear this
murmur now throughout this State-a State
which has in the past year transferred hun
dreds of millions of dollars into internal i'm
provements, and mining speculations out of
the State, and has not suffered by the failure
of one noted business house. Talk of hard
times-nonsense California never was in
so flourshing a condition. nor more gold in
circulation 10 her boundaries, than at the
present time. Hard times! Why mining
aud agriculture smile with promise; all Of
our industries are on the increase manufac-
lures have been enlarged to an astonishing
extent; and enterprises of every character
seem successful. This talked of depression
in the money market" is but the fancy Of
the timid, speculated upon by sharpers.
Why should any man of business tact, OF in
industry, of good intentions, be down with
"the blues" when the Pacific Railroad is
completed, when the mines yield abundantly
and our crops promise well. A little strin-
gency in the money market amounts to moth
ing. Every State in the Union experiences
| the same at certain seasons. All this talk
about hard times has no meaning-unless II
be strategy on the part of the shrewd to play
down into the pockets of the timid. Give
dependency cold shoulder to-day. and to
morrow's sun will shed upon you warm rays
of prosperity.-Sacrdmen Record.

THE Canadians want first-clsss Lord
for Governor General They have just
voted what they consider frst-class salary
for that functionary-S50, 900 per annum
and now they are dismayed to learn that
they can scarcely expect sccond-class
Lord for the position Lord Mayo, who
is certainly nothing more than second class,
was asked to go to Canada, but fatty re-
fused to stir without salary of S125,00O
per year and a peerage in succession, and
after much correspondence and tribulation
the home Government informs Kanucks
that they cannot expect frst-class man
without giving him princely income
This is King Stork and the frogs over
again They must have vice-regal show,
pomp and fummery, but they must pay for
it out of their substance. We have no
Lords in the United States, but there are
any number Of sovereigns who would 90

for half the money which they offer first

a NEW CEREAL.-The Tuolumne City
News gives very interesting account of a
new kind Of grain, being raised in that
county, which promises to surpass all others
both in regard to quality for feed and pro-
ductiveness. Its origin borders little on
the marvellous The statement is that
returned Frazer river miner had in his
possession four grains which he said he
had taken from the craw of swan, killed
in that country. Of these, Mr.. Oakes
obtained three, two of which decayed and
one produced yield. This was again
sown, and the increase has been steady,
until this year Mr.. Oakes has in some seven
or eight acres 1t is sown on land that
usually produces from twelve to twenty
bushels of wheat per acre Competent
Judges states that the yield of this new
grain will probably be from seventy five to
one hundred bushels per acre 1t is some
thing like cross between rye and wheat.
1t is too clear and plump for rye, and yet
not round enough for wheat 1t is said to
be very superior feed for animals Its
alaptablity to the soil, and its immense
yield will probably bring it into general
use throughout the State as soon as seed
can be obtained

How SUIT Lovengood Killed his Dog.

When I wur boy dad fotched home a

his brats. Well, I materially took a dis
taste to him, and had sort of hankerin
arter hurtin his feelins and discomfortin NV
hlm every time dads back was turned
This sorter kept big skeer alters arter his
eyes, and an orful yell ready to pour out
the tust motion he seed me make So he
learnt to swaller things as he run, and al
ways Kept his legs well under himself; for
he never knew how soon he might want
to use them to tote his internal carcus be-
yond the reach Of flying rock He
knowed the whiz of rock in motion well,
and he never stopped to see who threw it,
but just let his he'd opin wide enough to
GIN howl room to cum, and set his legs
agwlne the way his nose happened to be a
pintln. He'd shy round every rock he
seed in the road, for he looked upon it as
calamity to cum arter him some day. l

CRICKETs IN LAssEN CoUNrY.-Tbe
Sage Brush of June 9Th says the crickets
are down upon the grain fields east of town
in innumerable millions. The citizens
have been trying for several days to turn
them OF into the mountains, but thus far
they have met with but little success
They have already eaten up several large
telds OF barley, and hardly green thing
that lies along the line Of their march
escapes them.

RUST IN WHEAT.-A correspondent of
the San Francisco Times writing on the
above subject remarks:
The parasite is simply the result, and
not the cause, it being an insect feeding
on the juices of the plant that are exuded
from the ruptured stalk, and that by ex-
posure to the air are oxydated or inspis-
sated on the surface, furnishing deleicate
pabulum for the sustenance Of insects that
by an incrutable law of nature are genera
ted for such an exigency. When the wheat
plant in state of maturation is exposed to
unusual moisture from rain or fog, it pumps
up or absorbs an excess Of liquid, SO that
when suddenly exposed to an increase of
temperture from an unclouded sun, the
liquids expand, rupture the stalk, and
necessarily cause an outflow OF the life
blood of the plant This makes a rare food,
and insect creation Immediately follows
The wounded plant at once ceases to
assimilate its juices, and no longer makes
deposit in its head The unsolid grain,
not receiving further accession, becomes
shrunken and worthless A critical ex-
animation of the plant will exphibit the
rupture, and affirm the correctness of the
above The soaking of the seed-wheat in
blue stone is not designed to correct the
rust in wheat, but to prevent the smut
Smut is constitutional disease that is
hereditary and transmissible, and that, like
syphilis and other human diseases, can be
corrected by proper medicaments. Crack
the hull of smutted grain, and its black
puiverulent contents will adhere to the
furry exterior of the sound grains in
which state, if sown, the young plant will
absorb this venomous matter, and conse-
quent disorganization in its nutrition and
assimilation is the result An immersion
in a solution of blue-stone will neutralize
this powder, and free the grain any liza
bility to distemperature. To repeat, rust
arises from repletion of food and subse-
quent exposure; while smut is constitu
tional disease, effecting the plant from birth
to maturity but only evincing its impurlty
in its Tipened fruit 1t is as unwholesome
to animals as to vegetable organization.

CANT YOU DATE 1T BACK Few MONTHS ?
festerday.afternoon, young woman of rath-
er prepossessing appearance and timid de-
meanor, called at the office of the County
Clerk, in company with young man who
looked as though he was brought there
against his will The two were accompanied
by grizzly hooking old fellow, who grasped
heavy hickory stick in his hand, in a Wig
orous manner, and whose set jaws denoted
that he would not bear fooling with. On be-
ing ushered into the Clerks private apart
ment. the old gentleman said = Mr.. Clerk
here are a couple of foolish young people who
are anxious to get married, and they want to
obtain the necessary license" Notwithstand
ing this assertion, the young man didn't
look like man who was hankerIng very
desperately after the nuptial knot. The
Clerk opened his register and began to write,
aud ask questions about the age, name, ETC.,
of the young folks. During all this time the
old man stood near the door, apparently
ready to prevent the consummation of any
attempt ut escape, should one be made
The young man, with his eyes bent upon the
floor, reminded one strongly of Captain Jack
Bunsby, when he was led to the altar by
Mrs. McSwinger. The young woman ap-
peared nervous and fidgety for some time ;
then edging up to the side of the Clerk, said,
in voice half trembling and half entIeating,
Please, Mister, can't you date it back a
few months ?''-S. r. Call.

THE LEGISLATURES.
FI0aIcrIaI District.

NASHVILLE, July /, 1869.-To the peo-
pie of Davidson, Robertson, Montgomery
and Cheatham counties: Solicitations by
letter and in person received for the past
few weeks from every county in this flOate-
rial district, and representative, as | am
induced to believe, of the solid and sub
stantial portion of the constituency, have
brought me forward as a candidate for
your suffrage for seat in the next Legis'
lature.
In obedience TO these calls, 1 hereby an
nounce myself candidate, and propose
to meet assemblies of the people on every
proper occasion before the 9Th of August.
| do not affect that | do not desire to be
elected, though, for myself, | could more
proftably employ the time. But, believ-
ing that understand the immediate bnsi-
ness necessary for the promotion of the
interest Of the people of the district and that
some previous legislative experience has
qualified me for the position, offer myself.
am in favor of the most prompt action
that can be had by the Governor, the
Legislature, or the people in their sOVer-
eign capacity under the Bill of Rights, or
all conjoined, TO secure the assembling Of
a convention at the earliest practicable
moment, to amend the constitution and
laws, and remove all existing disabilities
in regard to the elective franchise. The
most feasible plan conformable TO law, is
the best, and the one will favor by vote
and voice. The privileges now enjoyed
by any portion of the community, do
not propose TO disturb. .a
The business interests Of this constitu-
ency in several important features demand
legislation. The mercantile community,
in my judgment, needs a representative
who comprehends their wants and sympa-
thises with their condition under present
laws. The general economic interests Of
the people in every pursuit, while requir-
ing broader and more liberal legislation,
should be under the discipline of stricter
statutes, and such measures shall receive
my support.
In this brief card, these are all the
points necessary to allude to, but in be-
coming candidate expect to meet voters
of every kind and deal frankly, and with
this view, lay my name before you.
