In some remarks on the value OF
the different farm crops and the best
mode of growing them, the South.
ern Cultivator, says:
To secure a "seL" or "stand" two
things are requisite: lst, that the
seed be covered very slightly-not
more than half an inch deep; %,
that the surface soil be rich. The
little seed contains so small an
amount efnutriment that the young
plant has to draw its supplies from
the soil almost from the very be-
ginning. A third condition should
be added, TO wit: a good stifT soil.
A sandy soil will answer, provided
q stiff sub-soil underlies it at q
moderate depth. Not less than ten
pounds of seed to the acre should
be sown. They should be mixed
with ashes or fine dirt, and sown
broadcast like turnip seed. 1t re-
quires much care to get them regu.
larly distributed, and at this point
failure often begins. They may be
lightly brushed in, or pressed IN a
by roller, or left to be buried BY the
rains. We tried the last plan a
year ago and it succeeded admira.

fort was made 70 reconstruct the
State by placing the military over

The Congress Of the United States

submitted 10 aggression upon ag-

that rogues may rule is about play
ed out. There was party In Jeru-
salem when our Savior was upon
earth, very similar In many respects
to the party now In power. They
bound the people with "heavy bur-
dens, and grievicus to be borne"
They loved "uppermost rooms at
feasts, and the chief seats in the
synAgogues." They made "broad
their phylactories," and covered
them over with texts from the scrip
lures, as these men do with homi-
lies about the Union. Aud yet the
condemnation gilmore than eighteen
centuries Is still ringing in our ears
against those who "say, and do not"
Let us forget the past, unite as one
man to put down this unworthy
party. The times are auspiCious.
The streaks Of lightning glimmer-

other States in the North, the angry,
black, and heavy clouds of discon-
tent lowering over Ohio, Indiana,

assurance that q political storm is

duty TO withdrawn from active CO.
operation with the Democrats,
and reorganize a separate party
and as the people of this State
have implicit faith and confidence
in your prudence, judgment and
patriotism, we avail ourselves of
the privilege Of inviting your
counsel as to the course which
old-line Wings should adopt in

In so doing, we entertain no
doubt that your views will be such
as will be read with interest aud
profoundly felt BY Conservative
men of all parties. With senti-

alton of the few in this State who
desire the resuscltation Of the

reading Of the manly, noble and
patriotic sentiments as expressed
by that "old line Whig." Robert.
son Topp, Of Memphis, Tennessee.
We print his highly interesting
letter on the fourth page this
morning.
Vicksburg weekly herald., 1870-08-20

VIZ charged yesterday morning
thai the officers Of several steam.
boats had the receipts OF the late
wharf aud harbor master for
wharfage paid him which be has
not reported. Since then we learn
the Doctor has been very indus
triously engaged interviewing
every steambOatman who comes
to our city. OF course we do not
expect the city officials to take
any action in the investigation Of
this ubiect. Itis a sort ofbrother-
hood compact which binds them
together, and the one will not ope-
rate against the other, but We warn
the officers ofsteamboats who may
be approached by DR.. Walker to
purchase or buy from them the
evidence Of his infamy which
they hold against him, that we
know many Of them and can
prove that they have paid their
wharfage to the agent of DR.. Wal.
ker if not to him, and that by
surrendering to,him, for the pur-
pose Of enabling time to cover up
his pecadillos, his receipts which
they hold, they involve themselves
in an investigation that will not
appear very well when presented
to the public. Besides they will
eventually be compelled to pay
the wharfage due by them any
way.
We know that these suggestions,
of ours are scarcely necessary to
the majority Of our steamboat
friends who are perfectly incor.
ruptible, but we make this publ
cation to prevent them from being
deceived by representations which
DR.. Walker may make to them.
There is no doubt of the truth of
the charge as made by US against
DR.. Walker, but since he knows the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen
will take no action to discover to
what extent he has defrauded the
city, he is Indifferent to pnbliC
opinion, and he will consequently
quietly confne his operations to
the secreting ofthe evidences Of his
guilt, and when he has repossess-
ed himself Of all theIwritten evi.
dences which are out against him
he will boastfully and Indignantly
demand an investigation.
Messrs. Carroll, Green d Co.,
would be admirable personages to
to whom to entrust the inves.
tigation of this matter. They
have communication with all
the steamboats, which ply the
Mississippi, and it would
not take them long to present the
amplest of testimony.
Are the Board of Mayor ant
Aldermen, which tried to force
Webber's straw bond upon the
people, willing that DR.. Walker
pecaddiloes shall undergo exami
nation?
