to this country, the valuation of which
was S11, Ill, $50, and so great is now the
demand of this article of commerce that
the Chinese have resorted to adulteration
of the willow leaf, which is mixed with
the better qualities of good tea. The
willow leaf, as prepared, can not be dis
tinguished from green tea by the eye.
1t can be produced at cost of about
four cents pound, and is said to be
used in the proportion of from twenty to
forty per cent of the whole mixture 1t is
reported by Mr.. Medhurst, resident
official of the British government, that
the preparation of the willow leaf for
mixture with tea is openly practiced on
the Hong-Ken side of the Soo-C Chow
creek, "and it has become an industry
which claims an important share of tie
attention of the villages of that and other
localities"
How much we may have suffered by
this species of fraud it is impossible to
ascertain. 1t were better that the people
OF this country should be self-sustaining
as far as possible in such products as the
soil and climate affords them opportu-
tunity. No nation is larger consumer
of this fragrant herb ''that cheers, but
notinebriates, and hence the necessity of
becoming producer as speedily as pos
slble. 1t is encouraging to know that our
people in various parts of the country are
enegetically pushing the culture of the
tea plant, and with success which ex-
ceeds the most sangaine expectations as
to profit and production.
We would suggest that the experiment
be made in our own State, and see what
will come of it.

OPENLY AyoWEp TREAcHERY.

If any evidence was wanting to prove
the treachery intended by the Democracy
the Bulletin would be competent witness
in that point. 1t was explicit in the vol
untary admission two weeks ago, and yes
terday it duplicated its evidence, by de-
nouncing jeff Davis and Bob Toombs as
impracticable and unworthy Democrats,
because they could not follow naked
formula, and accept everything as mat
ter of expediency" That is, the Democ-
racy is to appear to be reconciled TO the
present laws, while it is in reality OPP
posed to the entire system. If success
cannot be achieved ON its own platform,
then let it be achieved from Republican
platform. There is no beating the devil
about the hush in this suggestion, but it
is made in just so many words, that an
apparent acceptance is to be agreed upon
backed by an actual design to overthrow
the entire result of the war. Behind this
treachery turks the threat which Toombs
makes, that the rebellion is to be reor-
ganized just so soon as the opportunity
offers itself.
The object of this explicit avowal Of
treacherous design is to arrive at an un-
Outstanding with the impracticable radi-
Gals of the Democratic party. There are
thousands of people in the South who
pray for another war, because they really
detest the Union. These men can not
accept of the present situation, because
they hope for its overthrow. They con-
stitute the working force of the Demo-
cratic party, and their faith as Democrats
is welded to the belief that the Democracy
is the only party that offers them any
chance of destroying the Union. If this
belief was overthrown, as Vallandigham
proposes to overthrow it, they would at
once desert their present associates in
order to organize party that would work
up to their standard of revolution. In
order: therefore, to hold these impractical
BILE destructives, the Democracy finds it
necessary to inform them publicly that
all this acceptance is mere
sham, and that what Vallandigham
says is one thing and what he proposes
to do is another. In the language of
''the cardinal appoints, but
the king withholds. And since there is
no way to make these fre-eaters take a
hint except by kicking them, or, rather
since the only way to carry out this con-
spiracy is to reveal it, the organs of the
Democracy declare in round and pointed
treachery that the acceptance of the stu
alton is only formula designed to assist
n gaining victory which will allow it
% break its engagement. The matter is
not minced. 1t is unscrupulously de-
dared because the situation was critical
hat if the cheat was not explained the
stupid followers would break ranks and |
lisband. We are thus in possession of
he entire plan of campaign, and if the
people do not beat this openly avowed |
nd desperately concocted treachery, then
indeed, are we in peril of new and greater
nisfortunes than ever befel this country
,efore

TEA CuLTuRE

From the statistical reports of our coun-
try's productions, the article of tea is now
added, and is increasing slowly but stead
lily. 1t is proved that the climate and soil
of some of the States of this Union are
adapted to the successful cultivation of
this very important article of national
| consumption. Successful experiments
have been made in South Carolina, in
Tennessee and in California, and the eli
mate in other parts of the United States
is well adapted to the cultivation of the
Chinese tea plant The district of country
in China where the tea is grown lies be-
tween the twentieth and fortieth degrees
of north latitude. There is no impede
ment to the cultivation of tea in
the United States, so far as depends
upon adaptation of soil and eli
mate. The only question in re-
gard to its cultivation upon large
scale would be, can it be made profitable?
The advantages which have been in favor
of the production of this article in China
are those of labor. Now that the people
of that country are focking to the Pacific
coast in such great numbers, fair oppor-
tunity will be afforded them to prosecute
this business, and thus ascertain whether
it can be made remunerative. California
especially seems to be peculiarly adapted
in every respect for the successful cult
Walton of the Chinese tea plant, and the
culture has already commenced with the
Chinese who have settled there, and with
the most encouraging results. The prospeet
now is that there will hardly be a limit to
the extent of the culture of this indispen-
sable article in use in every household in
the land, so that in time the production
may be equal to the wants of the whole
nation.
In 1869 a California writer, in speaking
of the introduction of tea plants into that
State, says that ''the location best adapted
to their growth is found to be high, roll
ing land, cold enough to have some win
ter frost. Our foot hills are exactly suited
to them. They are very hardy, and a
sufficient number has been planted to give
satisfactory evidence that they will thrive,
and it is believed that their culture will
eventually prove as successful here as on
the foot hills of the snowy Himalayas of
Northwestern India, where the plant has
completely superseded all importations
from China.
Besides California, it is stated by tea
planter formerly of Cachar, India, that
there is large extent of land of this south
ern country lying between the parallels of
twenty-nine and thirty-fve degrees north |
latitude, and embracing North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Missis-
sippi, which is well adapted to the cult
Walton of the tea plant There is also
the northern portion of this State which,
without doubt, is equally as good as any
OF the other sections of country already
mentioned for tea culture. An examina-
ton OF the importing of tea in the United
States for the past eleven years shows
that it has been rapidly increasing. In
1868 there was 81, s43, 612 pounds brought

Mr.. Greeley advises ten thousand
settlers to move into the State of Texas,
between Houston and Galveston, under
the suggestion that they can make them

milk and butter to the ten thousand
people of those two villages. He thinks
the Texans are long way behind the
times in the matter of cooking beefsteaks.
But they are an amiable people, in the
opinion of the philosopher, who doubt

MOKANNA In GEORGIA.

Toombs swore he would call the roll of
his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill mon
ument. Now he is almost a slave himself
to his own negroes, if we are to believe
his story. He declared one Southern
man could whip six Yankees; but as he
never tried the experiment on any specific
wager, that statement may be set down as
snare. He elected cotton king, and had
the modification, if anything can mortify
him, of following his monarch into a
condition worse than Punishment, for it
could not pay its own expenses, and all
its friends wero impoverished by its de-
probation. He upheld slavery as
divinely appointed institution, and called
it the keystone of empire, only to find at
later day that his own slave could vote
while ne could not. He is man of mis-
takes. Those who followed his counsels
are still in the weeds of mourning for
what they lost Misery and desolation
have accompanied his ideas and doings.
In spite of all these evidences of Toombs'
weakness, there is a crowd of people who
believe that he is just the man to take ad-
vice from. Mokanna had his faithful ad-
herents, and men like him are being fol-
lowed in the same way and to the same
end. When will the mask be removed?

Notwithstanding that he was unsuccess-
full for twenty-five years, according to his
own admission, in teaching the Democ-
racy of New York to be decent and
liberal with the ballot, Mr.. Greeley is not
discouraged, but is willing to believe that
he has accomplished in six weeks at the
South what he could not perfect in a
quarter of century at his own home. 1t
is plain that the philosopher of the Tri-
b,ne left his balance wheel at home when
he started for Texas, for he allowed the
Southern Democrats to control his SYM
pathies at the expense of his judgment,
and the spell is still upon him.
