New snnIhern PrnLnct.

There is a plant, 80 says the Savannah Ne,rs,
growing very abundanty in our pny woods and
in the pine forests throughout the South known
as the "Deer Tongue. 1t presents bunch
or turf of light green, tongue shaped leaves,
measuring from six to eight inches in length
and about one inch in breadth. From the CEN
tire of this bunch Of leaves starsup as the season
advances, straight stalk rising to the height
OF from two to three feet, and term-
mating in a collection of bright purple flowers
The leaves are very fragrant when bruised hav
ing strong vanilla odor.
This little plant-a growth peculiar to the
lower State-is now says the Mobile Register
attracting no little attention as articles for
scenting tobacco and wrappers for fine cigars.
Even at this time it il commanding a high price
IN the market, and az it becomes better known.
the demand for it will, doubtless, be greater,
We are confident that the day is not far distant
when it will figure as one of our most important
products, and since it is climatically secured to
the South, and can be grown to perfection on
our poorest pine lands, the freak of good for
tune which brought it into notice is not likely to
prove a freak to US.

Correspondence of the Commerclal
The Republican gathering at New Castle last
evening was a large meeting with much enthu-
siasm. Gov. Pollock spoke with freedom, and
made some telling points, strengthening
weak Republicans and making Greeleyites quake.
Levi G. Bird, Esq, followed, in his usual happy
style, and was loudly applauded, in many parts
of his speech.
The Democracy think they will have to con
tinue their usual fraud Of voting minors and
non-residents in fact anything to beat Grant,
if they are to hold their old majority. The

The Huy-Crop.

Now that the figures are all in. it would appear
that there il not 30 great deficiency in hay-oro
as was anticipated. In the east, where most Of
our supplies come FROM there is little less than
full crop while west of the Alleghenes there
is higher average than usual. In Pennsylvania
we have not as mucht as usual and south of us
in Maryland and Virginia, there is the worst per-
haps they have had for many years. The short
supplies in Pennsylvania is, however, more than
made up by the increasing attention which has
been given to saving and curing cornfodder
which when well-made is for many purposes
equal to the best hay.
The effort to make good fodder has been we'll
seconded by the clerk of the weather. There
has not been 30 fine a season for many years
both for properly maturing the corn and for al
lowing attention to be given to properly curing
the herbage. Altogether we conclude that
though the price of hay in Philadelphia will bC
pretty we'll maintained the very high figures an
tcipated in the spring will hardly be reached.-

HON. RICHARD vAuxs ADDRESS AT ODD FELLOWS
HALL-HE PROVES HIMsELF BoURBoN-AND
q IEs BACK ON GkEELEY-ARE WE ALL STRAIGHT
OUTS, NOW
The Democrats, under the auspices OF the
Americus Club, held a meeting, last night, at the
Odd Follows Hall. There were probably about
800 persons present, many of whom were Re-
publicans Joseph Taylor acted az President
of the meeting, assisted by number OF Nics
Presidents, and A. d Chaytor Secretary,
EX-Mayor Richard Vaux, of Philadelphia, be-
ing introduced by the President, made an ad-
dress nearly two hours in length, during which
he succeeded remarkably in establishing him
self as one of the regular old Democrats, COM
pletely ignoring the action taken at Baltimore,
and desiring to take tho Democratic party back
and place it upon the theories of the Slave Era,
He said if the Democracy supported men in
preference to principle he would not be here to-
night. With candidates he had nothing to do,
and Of them he had nothing to say. The De-
mocraey to-day bids defiance to all opposition
and if, peradventure, it should go into the grave
for a season, it would, like Lazarus, rise again,
and be clothed with new life and beauty.
Mr.. v, after urging the people to vote for
principles, elaborately considered the five props
which upheld the Republican party, the first of
which was power, the second fraud, the third
patronage, the fourth money and the fifth the
negro. HIS had no faith now and never would
have, in the Fifteenth Amendment. In speaking
of fraud he said he believed the Democratic
tion by II 900 majority honest votes, and if til
Republicans carried Delaware it would be by dis
| flanchising voters. (He, Ex-Mayor, no doubt
| thought that Archie Given u Go. were Republi-
cans) He advised his hearers to interpose and
stop the onward progress of Republicanism or
the next four years would behold the downfall
of constitutional government, but he never ad-
| vised the Democrats to vote for Horace Greeley
no not once, neither was his name mentioned
during the long two hours speech not even q
sympathizing word dropped to cheer him in
| his ailliction.
The Hon. Speaker be ii said to his credit ap-
| piled no unkind words to any individual and witt
| the exception of Commissioner Davenport, o
| New York, no name was mentioned during hit
| whole speech.
A man in the audience considerably under the
influence of liquor, and who had several time
| interrupted the meeting, at the close proposed
three cheers for the speaker, which were faintl.
given, after which he proposed +" three cheer
for Horace Greeley! " which were given by nom
| but himself, but in response the hall resoundeC
with cries of put him outl" A vote of thank
was then rendered to the speaker, and the meet
ing adjourned.

A Delaware-I lib erian---Hon. W. \. Anderson
The melancholy decease of MIR. Anderson, Of
Liberia, chronicled elsewhere, demands more
than passing notice. A native Of this Repub-
lie, and of the State Of Delaware he was man
whose abilities and talents honored the place Of
his nativity, and many Of our people will recog-
nize in his career an evidence of the justice as
well as the humanity, of that policy which not
only declares all men "equal before the law, >
but sincerely and fully lives up to that grand
principle. Mr.. Anderson was one of the colored
SONS Of Delaware, class whom her laws have
oppressed, and yet would oppress were it not
for higher and nobler power yet in his distin-
guished career, she has reason to feel proud,
and on his death she il called to join in the sor-
row Of his people.
