WASHINGTON LETTER.

~H>1f~ ~WAsHINGTON; Jan. 3, 1871.
1t was not many days ago fhat,a
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writing asby authority,
announced that the failure of the Presi-
dent to recommend gensssharnnes>y I'M
his recent message, or even refer to the
subject ut all, was the result of an over
sight simply. Naturally peeple looked
to see this oversight remedied by a.
special message. There is reason to
believe, that the President. conternplat-
ed such step, and he might have taken
it had he been ,leit alone, But .at this
juncture the politicians intervenel, and
the result has beanra new programme
for the Radical party in which amnesty
has no place. On the contrary, pro-
scription is to be enforced with renew
ed vigor throughout the whole South.
The first vague intimation through the
press that reconstruction was to be
again attempted, found little credence.
The correspondents who sent these ru-
mors abroad, could not believe that the
Administration contemplated such a
step, and wrote With greater modera-
ton than the facts before them war
ranted. Even then the. matter had
been definitely settled, and Senator
Morton was preparing for Congressional
The New York Tribune, it viii be re-
membered, has been until recently
staunch advocate of general amnesty.
Now it has grave doubts On the sub
ject. The secret of it's conversion to
proscriptive policy is this: The Presi-
dent sent for Greeley to come to Wash
ington, and while here a conference
was held at the White House, at which
the President, Greedy, and several other
gentlemen were present. The pros
poets of the Radical party were dis
cussed, and it was conceded that with
out interposition on the part Of the Ad-
ministratiOn, the Democracy would Sc
cure the electoral vote of the Southern
States, thus ensuring the election of
Democratic President in 1872. 1t was
therefore decided not only to refuse to
grant a general amnesty, but to reopen
reconstruction. A special message,
now ready, and which will probably be
sent to Congress within day or two,
will indicate the plan. A committee
will be organized to collect evidence to
convict the Southern people Of crimes
without limit, and Of possessing spirit
as rebelliOus as that which existed at
the close of the war. This committee
will be organized to convict, and will
be assisted in the labors by such men
as Bullock, of Georgia, Parsons, of
Alabama, and the whole gang Of car
pet-baggers defeated in the recent cleo
tions. Upon the report Of this COM
mittee the military will be ordered to
again take possession of. the Southern
States, and the work Of reconstruction
will again commence. Such is the
present programme of the Radical
party. Its authenticity may be relied
upon to the letter. There may, of
course, be notifications of the plan
now formed, but the object. to be at,
tanned will be the same. The effect Of
this policy on the country remains to
be seen. It ought 70 be very damag-
ing to the Republican party; and it
ought to arouse the people to the dan.

How TO Apply Maaarc.

| Observation and experience should deter
mine the mind OF the farmer in regard to the
best plan of applying manure, whether to
pillow it under deep, or leave it on the sustace.
The advocates of surface manuring speak
against manure being turned under too deep,
while the advocates of deep manuring charge
surface manuring with fertilizlng the atmos-
phere. But there is a medium course, and
each theory Is supported by plausible argu.
ments. However, there are true philosophical
principles against burying manure too deeply
| in the earth. The loss Of the saline matter of
the manure, by solution and inflatration. will
| be great in porous soil, and the evaporation,
to which 80 much loss is attributed by those
holding opinions adverse to surface manuring,
would be only small drop in the bucket,
compared to the loss by selutlen. In porous
soils, it is we'll known that manure will pene-
trate TO q great depth, and much animal mat
ter my descend beyond the reach of surface
growing plants Humus Ii formed by the de.
cay and decomposition of vegetable matter,
which, in the philosophy Of nature, is manip-
ulated on the surface; hence. the rule in the
application Of manure should be taken from
the indications of nature and science. The
decay and consumption Of one crop for the
ueurishment for another, the droppings Of
animals, the detoliation sftrces and plants arc
oil left on the surface. This seems to contra
dict the idea Of loss by evaporation. II will,
therefore, be best to adopt the plan Of deep
cultivation, but keep the manure and vege-
table matter as near the surface as possible.
There is always some loss by evaporation, but
much less by infltratlon. 1t should be .
eading idea with farmers to be close obser-
vers Of such natural operations in the growth
spontaneous and cultivated vegetation, and
>, ommodste their practice so a. to initiate
nature as nearly as possible.-"Agriosla," in

A correspondent of the Canada Farmer says
that there is no doubt in his mind that cut.
things taken from the tomato plant in autumn,
just before frost, stuck in damp soil, and when
we'll rooted removed to six-lucl pots, kept in
an atmosphere of forty to sixty degrees, and
watered just sufficiently to keep them alive
during winter, is the true way Of obtaining
the earliest fruit. The shoots should be
pinched back, and also part Of the large
leaves, so rs to rctard the winter growth as

SWEDISH FARM LABOR.

The Madison Farm Journal says:
owe are pleased to see that our
suggestion in last weeks issue, in
reference to the employment of
Swedish labor, has met with the APP
prevail of a number of our leading
citizens, and a meeting of all inter-
ested called to take place at the
Court House in this city, on Mon
day next, when they will be address
cd by Mr.. J. Foss, a Sweede himself,
and one who can give all the infor-
nation necessary. Mr.. FOss has
been canyassing several of the adj
joining counties in behalf Of his
countrymen, and has met with much
success in Jones, Butts, Jasper and
Putnam counties. He will meet
and discuss the subject with the peo-
pie of Newton, Morgan, Greene and
Clarke counties prior to his depart
ure-about the first of March prox-
imo-for his native land, whence he
will return about the 1st of June
with a large number of immigrants.
From what little we have seen of
this class of laborers, we are very
DESTROYS of seeing several hundreds,
aye thousands, of them introduced
into our country. Negro labor has
become worse than worthless, and
the sooner we can become indepen-
dent of them the better it will be for
the country, We earnestly hope
that our planters, and all others desir-
ing faithful and reliable white labor
ers, will attend the meeting on Mon
day and take active measures to Sc
cure the services of these deserving
people. Let the farmer, as we'll as
the merchant and professional man,
take this matter into serious consid-
Grafton, and act promptly"

is this Improbable stiffness to con-
tinue I?
This county affords inducements
for the establishment of numerous
tanneries its many streams of pure
spring water; its abundance of the
best Bark for tanning purposes, at a
cost of 81 to S. pr cord; its facili-
ties for procuring Hides from
abroad; the w. & A. Rail Road
passing through its center, opens to
it the markets of the Cult, the At
lantic and Western States with la
Dor and provisions abundant and
cheap. And the same facilities for
intercourse with other countries and
other States, renders Marietta, its
county town, desirable location for
the establishment of factories, ma
chine and other work shops propelled
by steam power, where wood can be
procured at S23 to SO pr cord, and
the very best quality of coal at IS
pr ton.
Why are these many natural adj
vantages and sources of profit, pos
sessed by Cobb county, lost to our
State ? The lack of capital on our
part, and the want of knowledge of
their existence on the part of the
possessors and money lovers
in other portions of the Union.

Robert Toombs:
AUGUSTA, GA, Jan. %. 1871.
Gentlemen l have received your
letter inviting me to participate in
the celebration Of the sixtieth birth
day of the Hon. Horace Greeley,
and but for pledge that I am under
not to cross Mason and Dixon's line
until | can "call the roll of my
slaves" at the base of Bunker Hill
Monument, | should be with you on
an occasion which awakens some
pleasant, and many bitter memories.
Georgia, you will remember, went
quite reluctantly out of the Union.
| was enabled to rush the ordinance
of secession through our Legislature
by reading in the House 1.-THE editori-
ais of the New York Tribune, up
holding the right of the Southern
States to set up e Government for
themselves, and denying the right OF
the Federal Government to keep US
in the Union by Coercion" For
this timely service | then cherished
a warm feeling of gratitude towards
Mr.. Greeley, but a "change has
come over the spirit of my Dream
All things considered, taking Geor-
gle out of the Union was the worst
days work | ever did. Instead of
our slave roll-call, things have turn
ed end for end, and now slaves call
the roll of their former masters
The negro has been elevated not only
to personal equality, but has ac-
tually become the representative of
white men. | do not, however, re-
fer to this painful and notifying re-
verse in the fortunes of the south by
way of reproof or complaint. Mr..
Greeley, in advocating the right of
secession, "meant WELL" though it
was "a great mistake" and while |
cannot forget That | was cruelty mis-
led, can lay my hand upon my
heart and cheerfully say that | for
give him.
Very truly yours,

The Breach Won't be Healed,

Ever since tie convening of the Leg
isla'urc the leaders of the Radical party
have been trying to heal the breach made
in the party during the last campaign
but the factions are 10th to come to
gether. A caucus of liberal republicans
was held at Jefferson, on the 1lth inst,
for the purpose of inaugurating some
plan by which to unite the two wings OF
the party. Some of the members we're
of opinion that the best thing to be done
in the present emergency was for the lib.
erals TO join the Democrats in selecting a
senator, and resolutions to that effec,
were offered. but subsequently withdrawn,
1t being evident that they would be laid
on the table. The foregoing facts indi
cate that the leaders Of the Republican
party are not as proficient in the healing
art as they are in making breaches.
