The Virginia Cadet.
GREELEY's COMMENT ON HIS MANLY
AND STRAIGHTFORWARD COURSE.

A Washington dispatch Of Sun
day to tho New York Tribune
says:
a case Of much interest to the
boys of the South was decided by
the Secretary Of the Navy ycster-
day. A youth named Baldwin AL
exandor, from Pulaski County, Va,
was appointed cadet at the naval
academy BY the Hon. Mr.: Gibson,
of tho eighth district of Virginia.
Alexander, who is not yet II years
of age, underwent a thorough ex-
animation. and passed at every
point. lie made favorable i'm
preston upon the board Of c1ami-
ncrs. as well as the Secretary Of
the Navy, and his appointment
was confirmed. But when the
iron-clad, or test oath was put to
him, he declined to take it, asscr-
ting that, although he was a mere
child ct the commencement Of the
war, and but II years Of age at its
close, yet his associations, sur
roundings, Sc, had created SYM
pathy in his mind and heart for
those around him, and to swear
that he had not sympathized with
or countenanced the rebellion
would be base perjury. and lie
could not do so. His honesty and
candor elected encomiums from
the naval authorities and Senator
johnson. Of Virginia, took the
matter in hand, and tried to have
the youth admitted by his taking
the proper constitutional oath.

managed to work his way behind
one of the gaurds, seize piece Of

was too much for mortal appetite,
whetttled to its juiciest verge, to
bear. They gave one wild yell ;
There was a surge forward; the
sentinels were lost in q labyrinth
Of crinoline ; the tables went down
like a house Of cards, and tho din

a few mortals supplied; but | have
it from excellent authority that

the colored soldiers unnecessarily

the first time in their lives, the

both sides Of q question iutelli-
gently discussed, aud have already

immigration to. tn e United
States. -

The NationalBureaa 0fStatisties
gives us the returns Of immigra-
ton to the United States for the
last quarter Of 1869 ": p,
The total for the quarter is 7G,-
939. which at the same rate wonld
be 3O7, 1852 q year-not far from q
thousand q day. "
Or the 76,935, there were 1915
who entered Northern ports, and
5,4G4 Southern.
Ofthes. 54Gt, there were Ga who
entered South Carolina ports.
That is to say, over ninety-two
per cent. of,the immigration goes
10 the North, and less than eight
comes to the South. And Of rh9e
eight por cent. that comes to- the
South, South Carolina received, a
l.tsle oyer one per cent. *. ~. ~.
Of the 76, ,935 the city of New
York received 1872; Huron: m
Michigan, 1O,406; Boston, 6,933;
New Orleans, 1860; San Francisco,
1927 Baltimore, l,761 Portland:
1929 Texas city, 9ol : and
Charleston, 68. .
This, however, it must be re-
membcred, does not indicate ac-
curately the actual results Of i'm
migration to South Carolina;t be-
cause the 500 brought in mostly
during that quarter camo mainly
from New York overland.
In immigrants males arc largely
in excess Of the females. OF thg
7G,939 mentioned above 1876
were males and SO, ,l2S females
This excess may account for tho
singular facts in statistics Of pop
ulatiou, that the United States has
an excess Of males decidedly be.
yond all other countries; and Of
tho other countries ninc-tcnths
have more females than males.

Making up a SquaW.

Tho Washington correspondent
Of the Buffalo express" says:
At the Presidents reception | had
tho honor Of an introduction 10
Spotted Tail, by lady, who beau
tif,,lly illustrated the exquisite
modesty, not to say prudery, Of
the fashionable American female,
by addressing him as Mr.. Tarie-
gated Appendage. Abiding TO
The striking protuberance which
rendered Sc prominent the panior
OF each lady's dress, he remarked
to me, "HowI" ("iIow" is tho
favorito remark of your Sioux.)
After rejecting on the subject q
little, I replied, You bet !" TAX
ing up tho topic where I had left
it, be observed, "Great deal hump
back squaw, I see. We're they
born so? ?" I explained to him brief
ly the mysteries Of the feminine
toilet and fashionable anatomy, as
far as they had been revealed to
my modest investigation, touching
coyly upon the items of false hair,
teeth, enamel, rouge, dyes, onig-
matte pads, etc. lie manifested q
lively interest in tie details, and
tho next day l met him coming
out of the establishment of d fash
ionable "modiste" with a largo
box packed full Of such materials
as 1 had described to him at tho
reception. "What's up now, Spot,
my boy ?" inquired l. "When l
get home I'll put these things to-
gcthcr and mako white squaw, l
guess, mebbc! !" replied he: lie
was rather chagrined when | cx-
planned that even with all our
practical skill, VIC yet found it ne
ccssary to have something of q
framework upon which to con-
struct a fashionable woman; but
his serenity was restored by the
reflection that he could expert
ment with one Of his toughest old
squaws, and if she should break
down under the ordeal Of q fash
ionablo toilet, he would loso only
the frame, which, l told him, our
people regard as of triAing value,
without the paraphcrnalia.

John Chinaman as a Farmer.

An article Oh "The Chinese as
Agriculturists," in the June Ocer-
lund Nonthly, contains q new and
interesting chapter in the social
economy of the Celestials: The
rural reader may learn something
from the following:
CHINESE AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
l. Rulss for gathering seed among
the standing yratn.-Ha7ing Sc
lected the choice and bright heads
Of grain, pluck and suspend them
in dry place till the next seed
iug-time, then shell and wash the
seed put it into hot water, when
tho heavy kernels will sink and
the light will rise to the surface,
and may be skinned of and cast
away.
2, In the twelfth month place
the seed in a large earthcn vessel,
fill it with pure water Of melted
snow, and cover the same with
earth. When the seed has sprout-
ed, SOW broadcast or in drills; thus
you will avoid the breeding Of
worms.
3. TO determine whether the
coming year will be good or bad.
tako ono measure OF seed in the
beginning ofthc winter season and
measure it carefully then place it
in an earthcn vessels and put it
in dark place ud'kcep it there
for fifty days: then measure 1t
again. Ifthcn it fills tho measure
ruller than before, the, season will.
be good; if less than before, the
season will be bad.
4. Treatment Gf neV land.-First,
burn the grass, Gin order to destroy
both the seeds and the roots Of
grass and weeds) plow, then SOW
to sosamuu (an oily grain) for one
yoar. This is for the purpose of
destroying mere thoroughly the
roots ofthe wild grasses.
5. In the neighborhood Of good
dowors and good grains; sesamun
must not be planted, for it will
destroy their roots also. Tho pro-
cess by which it does this is, by the
dew or rain falling upon it, run
ming down the leaves and stalks,
thus carrying poison with it into
the ground, TO affect the roots Of
whatever plant it may come in
contact with.
6. Seeds or flowers and fruits
must in like manner, be selected
from the best trees, and from those
which are free from all disease.
Let these seed be carefully cleans
cd, dried, aud stored iu|glass or Sc
cure vessels, and laid up high from
the ground, in dry places, so as to
avoid damp and mold. They
should be accurately labeled and
dated, so as to avoid the mixing
Of fruits and flowers, and, also, so
as to avoid the liability ofplanting
seed which is more than a year
Old.
7. In planting the scods of fow-
ers and fruits. let there be no fear
of too high ground, nor fear of too
much hoeing and spading. But
observe the season for planting
which is prescribed in the approv-
ed trcatises on tho subject. In
planting, put the fruit stanes in
the ground the right side up.
Some seed needs to be soaked be-
fore planting-some not. In SOW.
ing seed, observe that some, which
are large, will bear 3 considerable
depth of earth, while small seeds
must not be buried deep. They
may be covered with mixure of
ashos and Garth, so as 70 kill the
worms. Aftor the sprouts have
appeared, some may be watered
and somo not; you must discrimi-
nate. If. after three or five days,
there is no rain, they must be ar
tifcially .watored but with dis
crction.

The Issue.

Our valued exchange, the Rutherford
Star is doing much for the cause of the
Union and the party it represents in this
State. Its editorials are ably written, and
to the point The following article from
the last issue of the Star gives a correct idea
of the issues in the coming contest.-Ashe-
uille Pioneer.
PEACE OR WAR-This is the issue now
before the people. The people were called
upon to decide the same question in 1868,
when they voted for Grant for President.
Seymour and Blair were defeated and the
carpet. bag State governments of the South
ern States were not dispersed at the point
of the bayonct. The people are to decide
on the first Thursday in August next
whether our State government shall stand
and the people be protected, or the govern
ment torn assunder, and the loyal portion
of the people of the State murdered and as
sassinated The Kuklux Democratic party
are numbering. assassinating. whipping and
committing depredations upon Republicans
throughout the State, to terrify and keep a
sufficient number away from the polls for
them to carry the election. The people
know this to be SO. We tell them that it is
so. There will be no protection for life or
property if the Kuklux party succeed in
getting control at the next election. Put
the Kuklux in power and Congress will be
compelled to place this State under military
rule, and proceed TO reconstruct the State
again. Labor will he low. Land and
property of all kinds will not sell for any
thing. Business of all kinds will sta.nate,
and everything that the people have been
called upon to suffer and bear will have to
be gone through with again, to prevent the
Kuklux Democracy from running the State
and numbering the people. We repeat the
issue is PEACE or WAR. Those who vote
for the Kuklux Democracy vote for war
those who vote for the Republicans vote fol
peace. Choose to-day.

Keen it before the PeOple,

That the party who are crying out against
the cxtravagancies of the present admins
tration were in power in this State in 1866,
and the members of the Legislature voted
to themselves $50 per day, while the poor
confederate soldiers who were constantly
exposed to all sorts of danger, sickness and
battle, whose lives were in imminent peril,
at the time received only $11 per month.
Now this was all confederate money, but
what reason was there for this great differ
ence? That the man whose life was in
peril every day must serve for about 81 cts
Ler day, while the man who set in bomb
proof palaccs must have as much pay for
one day as the soldier would get in one hun
dred days Are such men to be our rulers I?
If so, God pity us.
The same party had majority in the Leg
isature in 1S66-'67. And with the fact be-
fore them that no member of the Legisla-
ture before the war ever received more than
So per day, and no officer more than S., vo-
ted to themselves So per day, and speakers
and clerks $40 per day, and 90 cents per
mile; and on taking recess for the Christ
mas holidays they again voted to themselves
| 90 cts. per mile home and back, making in
| all 40 cts per mile. Oh! consistency, thou
art jewel.
Again we ask are these men to take the
reins of our government again If so VIC
say to the tax payer: 'Wo he unto you
And while we do not approve of the cx
travagance of the last Legislature, we give
them justice They only voted to theil
clerks 81 per day, and on taking reccs:
they did not vote to themselves any mileage

AK kMoRNING, JULY o. 1870.


you used the word su,rounded' in the sense
of the lrishman who, having brought in four
strapping prisoners from the skirmlsl line
at the point of the bayonet-was asked
by the commanding officer how he had
taken so many prisoners "Be jabers," says
he, ian I surrounded en-" That'sswhat's
the matter Mr. Turner the Marshal alone,
surrounded EN-"
But all this was on Saturday, and you
say all the families were just going 70 church.
Now didn't you make just mistake of
one day Mr.. Turner, or did you suppose the
credulty of your readers would swallow
such whopper. Or, to take another horn
OF the dilemma, do they garner enough
while prowling about in disguise on Sunday
nights TO enable them to attend "church" all
the rest of the week?
Again you say, Holden, Carrow, and
Shatfer, are responsible for this outrage !"-
q quote from memory.
You know that Col. Frank returned the
prisoners to me because he had no authority
to keep them. You knew that "Holden and
Carlow" had no more authority, and were
no more responsible for the commitment
than you were. You knew that the COM
missioner had all the authority and all the
responsibility that Holden and Car
row" were not present at all. You knew it
was not customary to take bail on Sunday
for parties accused of fclouy-pending a
hearing on Monday You knew these par
ties could not deinan bail as 1. rightEpends
ing eXamination-Or even that their defense
should be heard before the commissioner
If you did not know these things you are
standing reproach to the court that admit
ted you as an attorney, and you knew when
you wrote the letter signed morris" that
you were spawning budget of falschoods
for political purposes, and you know that
you rung in the names of Governor Holden
and Marshal Carrow because you could make
nothing out of "thc carpet bagger successor
to Deweese." Isn't that so? Tell the truth
once in your life you dear old pollticalj jack
leg, and shame the devil at your elbow.
Yours truly, A. w. SHAFFER,
U. S. Commissioner, and
"Carpct-bagger."
