Who I.i!led Jnmts A. Rank.l

a correspondent Of the San Francisco Bulle-
tin, writing from Humboldt Wells. under date
of December Sd, ventures theory respecting
the death Of James A. Banks in Paradise VAL
ley, in 1867, which we are convinced has not
the least foundation. The writer says:

If the correspondent is in possession of any
facts relative to the shooting of Mr. Banks. he
ought to give them to the pubic. Ifhe knows
nothing about it, he would have done better
to have said nothing about it. No man can
be justified in casting suspicion upon others

illness to kick a man because he Is down.
Cage aud Lindsay have enough TO answer to
without unnecessarily increasing the amount.
How does the correspondent know that at
now turns ont that Banks Twas murdered
by white mem" How does he know that the
suspicion that the murderers Of Banks are
known is well founded?" The evidence of
Lieut.. LaGcrty and four others, at the Coro-
ner's inquest, was conclusive that the murder
was committed by three Indians; and so the
jury found. What other evidence has come
TO light, adverse to the conclusions of that
jury2 Why are Cnge and Lindsay connected
with the AFFAIR." Parties living at that time in
Unionville, know Lindsay was in that place
at the time Banks lost his life, and was en-
gagged in a legitimate business and Cage, we
understand, was in the employ Of Hill
Beachey, in Idaho. The fact that these men
stand charged with great offense for which
they are now here awaiting trial, ought not to
subject them to public prejudice in another
matter, without some good cause shown.
Correspondents for public journals should
be careful how they write sensational articles.
The writer Of the above extract is evidently Of
that class Of scribblers who would take n
mean advantage Of n fcllow-man when in
misfortune.

An Interesting Agricultural Experiment.

SHELLSBuRG, Iowa, Feb. 1S70.-Several
years since L selected a plot of new, rich,
alluVial prairie, with depth OF near fl
feet of black surface soil. For six years in
succession grew upon the plot such crops
as 1 could remove almost completely, root
and branch, from the ground-such as
crops of currant bushes and grape vines
from cuttings, seeding apple trees, follow
ed by beans, rutta bagas, dc. AT the end of
six years of careful cleaning everything
from the soil, this plot, with the land ad-
joining EARNED in the ordinary way, was
prepared, and in due time planted corn.
With the same culture, the contrast in the
crop surprised all who had not given this
vegetable mold-doctrine some study.-Upon
the side cropped in the ordinary way, the
growth of stalks and of large, well-ripened
ears, were above good average prairie
blunted looking stalks and ears reminded
one of cobble knobs of New England.
For the eighth year the cornstalks were
removed from the soil by pulling, and the
land, with that adjoining, was sown to bar
ley. Again we had the same contrast. On
the one side a strong, we'll ripened growth,
with half developed heads, too short to be
all cut by the reaper.
No chemical analysis wonld detect in
this rich, deep, alluvial soil at the end of
the eighth year, any deficiency in the ele-
ments of plant growth, aside from its vega
table mold. By practice upon our rich soil
it is found that even dry cornstalks or stub
BILE plowed into the ground year after year,
will hold the land measurably in good
condition. But perhaps no portion of the
State will be more benefited by alterna-
ting with clover than the great prairies.
Why? Simply because when the great
natural supply of humus, furnished by the
virgin prairie sod, is exhausted, it must be
renewed.-[J. l.. BUDD, in the German
town Telegraph.

STIRRING Soil AROUND TREEs.-Open-
ing or tightening the soil around the roots
of trees, either in the spring or fall, for the
purpose of letting in warmth, and afford
ing a freer medium for the expansion and
DEVELOPMENT of the roots, is of great value
in promoting the health and vigor of the
tree. All trees, whether fruit or ernamcn-.
tai, Young or old, indigenous or exotic, are
vastly benefited by this process. In old
orchards, the soil about the trunks of trees,
and to considerable distance from them,
in every direction, should be carefully bro
ken, and the upper surface, to the depth of
three or four inches, removed IN the
tpring, every four or five years. The eggs
Of the curculio and other insects are depos-
tied in this stratum, and if not removed or
DESTROYED, will produce insects, the rava-
yes of which the succeeding year will be
productive of far greater loss than the ex-
pense of removing the soil and replacing
il with compost or loan. 1t is.san utterly
hopeless undertaking to attempt the cutt-
vation of good fruit, when no measures are
resorted to to obviate the fatal ravages of
this detestable and insidious foe, and the
remedy now suggested is by no means ex-
pensiye, if we take into consideration the
advantages otherwise resulting to the trees
from its application. :; - = -
Any good soil, taken from the open fields
or cultivated lands, may be used as a sub
stitute for compost, and very small guam
tity will suffice. Even If no fresh matter
is applied, I would recommend the remoy-
al of the surface soil, and would replace IT
when convenient. Chip manure, or Old
dung covered with straw, answers well for
that purpose. Germantown Telegraph. :

THE LEGAL TENDER CIRCULATION.-The New York
Bulletin, noting the fact that nearly all the proposals
looking to the resumption of specie payments are
based upon the assumption that it is necessary to re-
tire the legal tender circulation, leaving specie and
bank notes as the only currency asks is not this as
sumption gratuous? Thinks:
The legal tender notes. if redeemable, would be-
m every sense, as good currency could be desired
They are based the credit of the Government and
are therefore equally current in every part of the
country They are difficult of imitation; and when
redeemable, would contract or expand in volume re-
sponsiVely to the requirements of the home money
market or OF foreign exchanges; In fact, the notes
would possess every quality of an elastic, sure we'll
known and staple currency. Possessing legal tender
functions they would be the basis of banking transac
lions; and giving the banks broad basis of reserve
would protect banking arrangements from the frequent
disturbances caused formerly by fluctuations in the
foreign exchanges and the drain of specie TO foreign
countries. Really, therefore, the retention of the
legal tender circulation, in the event of resumption
would be a vast improvement upon the currency sys
TEN Of anti-war times and would be variation from
the former specie basis calculated to insure much
steadier course of monetary affairs.

residence in the Cherokee Nation aged about 3 years.
He brother of the notorious chief John Ross,
of kind heart and generous impulses. To the In
dian, at all times, his house home,' and
among that tribe more beloved and respected. At
one time he was very wealthy being merchant, he
turned his whole attention to trade and had but little
to do with politics. and the Indians travelled far and
to trade with him. By that trade he acquired
very large fortune We have known but little of him
for several years, but we learn from missionary of
that nation that he died in the faith of Christian.
Thus has passed away the last male member of the
elder Ross family.
