not congenial; that black walnut is espe
cially pernicious to the vine.

OF the year, not simply because the fruit
is good but also because the system abso-
lutely Graves the acid contained in the
berry, and 50 with other fruits; the black
berry, the peach, the apple, etc., which
are all adapted to particular wants of the
system at particular times.
One fruit in particular we desire to re-
fer to at this time, as its culture has not,
so far as we are aware, yet received at
tention in Tennessee, and that is the
cranberry, which is imported largely
from other States. 1t forms an impor-
tant branch of culture in Massachusetts,,
New Jersey and in other States, and the
question arises, Can it be cultivated sue
cessfully in TENNESSEE If so, can it not
be made very profitable, besides furnish
ing our tables with very acceptable
luxuryi 1t may be said that, as the cul-
tivation of the cranberry has never yet
received particular attention in Tennes-
see, i! is therefore useless to try the ex-
pertinent. To this it may be replied that,
in New Jersey, where cranberries are
now so successfully cultivated, it was
once thought that they were not
worthy of attention and great
many persons who first commenced cult
waiting the vines were ridiculed by their
neighbors until success demonstrated the
fact that cranberry boys could be made
exceedingly remuuerative. Isl,
O. We have received from 8 correspon-
dent who has had large experience in
cranberry culture in New Jersey, and who
has had practical acquaintance with the
subject matter of which he treats, a
lengthy communication on cranberries
and cranberry culture. He describes in
detail the kind of soil favorable TO the
growth of this successful fruit the man
ner of cultivation, and the conditions
upon which success depends. The only
question for Tennessee farmers then is,
have we these essentialsl is our land
adapted to the cranberry vinel If so,
there is certainly good ground for at least |
making few experiments.
We may here remark that we have al
ready made arrangements to procure q |
sufficient supply of cranberry vines to ex-
pertinent with ourselves. If we fail, the |
oss will be small; if we succeed, the result |
will amply reward our labor. Meantime,
hose who have suitable swsmpy land |
IAN easily obtain few vines and expert |
nent for themselves.

A Baby OH the Door steps.

On the night of April 1, one of our well
known grocery merchants on Market
street, who lives in South Nashville, was
summoned to his front door by the ringing
of the bell. He proceeded thither, but
there was no one to be seen. On looking
down, however, he discovered good sized
cloth was spread, and on the top of the
cloth letter, and OH what tender epis-
tie, imploring the gentleman of the house
to take care of the little responsibility left
in his charge. He was kind-hearted gen.
tleman, and the contents of the letter
moved him nearly to tears. He picked up
the package, went into the house, lifted
gently the cover, and 10 and behold! there
was bouncing wax doll baby staring him
in the face. He was sold.

To the Editors of the Union aud American: ,.e
FAYETTEVILLE, April 3.-Our little
town has been in considerable commotion
for a week past. We have had a Bishop
to preach for US, McTyeire, of the
Methodist church, g pleasant and affable
gentleman and withal very excellent
preacher. Then DR.. Kelley, of the Nc
Kendree church, was here and delivered
an address or lecture on ministerial edu-
cation. He was quite happy in some of
his hits, and explained why the preacher
was 30 mucn longer than men in other
professions, in learning that he was not
makinga very great impression on his hear
ers. Everybody, he said, turned to the
preacher his preacher side, and stood up
pom his good behavior whenever preach
er was about Nobody criticizes the min
is'er, no one ridicules his bombast and
rhetoric, and hence, if he has faults, he
must discover and correct them himself.
AGRICULTURAL MEETING.
Col. Killebrew addressed our people
yesterday, on the subject of agriculture,
advising them to quit the cultivation of
cotton, to plant greater diversity of
crops, and to SOW more clover and hay.
His address was well received, and hope
will have the effect desired.

MATTERS IN QUARTERLY COURT.
The quarterly County Court was in ses-
sion yesterday, and meets again to-day.
The magistrates declined to levy dog
tax, by vote of thirty-ive to five. The
dogs in this county stay at home, and the
sheep as a general thing have owners, but
no 'flocal habitation. The county tax
levied is two mills on the dollar, and one
mill for school purposes. The property
assessed for taxation is IS, 900, 900. The
State revenue from this county will reach
$50, 900.
MERCHANDISING.
The merchants are receiving large
quantities of new goods from New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Nashville.
RAILROADS.
You have been writing about the grasp
ing, heartless, soulless railroad monopo-
lies. l believe that the people should be
protected against them by legislation,
and if they talked to me about vested
rights and contracts, l would answer
them as a Chancery Court would
answer the usurer, who claims the
last pound of flesh by virtue Of a
"bond." Why should not States,
communities and peoples be protected
against the operations of hard and uncon-
scionable contracts, as well as individuals.
STATE TAXES.
We will pay this year to the State
thirty or thirty-five thousand dollars the
necessity for this heavy tax resulting
from liability created on account of rail-
roads, and yet it costs as much to get our
grain to Southern market as it does to
ship the same article from Louisville or
Nashville. 'IINooLN.n

Death Of Hon. Thomas Ewing.

Hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, died at his
residence in Lancaster on Thursday after
noon aged eighty-two years. His death
was caused by valvular disease of the
heart. The intelligence flashed over the
wires and cast gloom over those who had
known him as great man among the
giants Of other days, and in honor to his
memory the Departments at Washington
were closed on yesterday. The Courier
Journal thus speaks of the deceased
Though prominent in public life, he has
hardly had the conspicuity that his re-
markable ability should have commanded.
1t was an accident and mistake that he
was not nominated for the Vice Presiden-
cy in place of Fillmore. A Aword-perhaps
acareless one from an Ohio politician-gave
what turned out to be the Presidency to
Fillmore, and there is reason to believe,
changed immensely the current of Ameri-
can history

Low winds pass on in solemn wall,
Methought their tones funeral dirge,
Sweeping along to deaths dark verge.

''Eloi, lama, sabachthaniP,
Startled, turned mine eyes to see
When 10 ! on shrouded Calvary, @
A death scene DER my trembling soul
In awful grandeur did unroll .g ~
For ON the Cross!-O glorious plan!
A God, resigning life for man.
He cried and turned to Heav'n his eye,
''Eloi lama, sabachthani!'
1 heard-then gathered in his might,
A whirlwind o er my soul that night;
But hope returned, and then at last.
The whirlwind in its might had past,
And Yer me rose heavenly calm,

And now l lived, by Christ's death cry
