TO the Editor " the State Journal:
Everything begins to look cheerful in the
political ornament here. Our forces
are steadily and firmly organizing and
making extensive arrangements for conducts
ing the approaching campaign. Hitherto,
Democratic conservatism, has had every
thing its own way, as fan as public discus
sion is concerned in this section of Virgin
ia; but the scene seems to be changing, and
ere the curtain drops in November, this re-
mote portion Of the State will have wit
messed such a series Of political battles,
and such determined opposition to the enc
mics of the present administration as will
convince our distant sympathizers and sup
porters, that our mountain people are terri
bly, in earnest.
Should there bea straight out Democrat
ic nomination, (Which is not at all proba-
ble) we will carry our Democratic malcon-
tents back on past records, and demon
strate conclusively that they are now what
they were in 1860, when they sought-and
succeeded admirably 6 firing the South
ern heart, and, with one organized, con-
certed effort, precipitated the southern
states into revolution" We expect to
meet the cry of corruption and venality,
as charged against General Grant and the
Republican party, with facts that have gone
into history, exhibiting species of rotten
ness and corruption during the period of
Democratic misrule, which led one of
their ablest and boldest representatives, in
Congress, Just before the late war, to de-
clare, that from the by-ways and the
highways of the government, the rotten
ness of corruption sent forth an insuifera-
Bile STENCIL"
And should the Baltimore Convention
indorse the Greeley ticket, (asd your cor
respondent hopes it may), we expect to hold
converse with them, by familiarity compar-
ing their own record with that of Horace
Greeley, and demonstrating that he has
been the lifelong opponent of every impor-
tant principle connected with political
economy which the Democratic party has
cherished and held scared for many years.
Let the Democracy, if they can, meet the
issue in such an event, and tell us to whom
the blame should be attached, the party
who advocated and urged the passage Of
ku-klux laws by Congress for the goverii-
ment Of the country, or he who quietly and
in conformity to his official oath executed
those laws after their passage?
Your correspondent may be over sangu-
inc, but from his present surroundings, he
can see nothing calculated to impair his
confidence in the increasing strength of the
Republican party, not only in the fifth
district, but throughout the country, and
with an united and determined effort to
rslieve.the people financially and politically,
we will have succeeded in making that
party one of the permanent Installations"
of the State. l.. A. b.

HNAKE 1T TO YOUR HOME.

1t is SO much the fashion nowadays to con-
vey information, and moral truths and senti-
ments, in the form of stories, that even some
popular lecturers have adopted this style of ad-
dress. The mass of people, especially the young,
demand stories to such a degree, that papers
filled with sensational novels and exciting,
trashy stuff, have a wide circulation To fore
stall this taste, and supply something better to
the masses, the publishers of HEARTH AND
HOME, in addition to the usual variety of that
paper, have engaged corps of flrst-class writer's
among, whom are JEAN Ingelow, Edward Egg
gleston, Mary +. Dodge, Louisa M. Alcott Ed
ward Everett Hale, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Harriet Prescott Spofford Rose Terry Maria r.
Oakley, Lucia G.. Rnnkle, and many others, who
furnish to this journal the best original stories,
of the purest character and highest grade--thus
conveying much instruction in q pleasing form.
Besides these, the WEEKLY HEARTH AND
HOME contains a large amount of first-class
reading, editorials, literature. art, science,
amusement; instruction for the housekeeper,
the gardener, the farmer; capital department
for children and youth the news of the day;
financialland market reports, etc. Its engravings,
costing over $40, 000a year, of high order of
merit, unsurpassed by any illustrated paper in
he world. Altogether, HEARTH AND HOME
is such a journal as may be safely and very pro-
fitably taken into any family. 1t is supplied at
the low rate of SO n year; four copies for SIT
and ten or more copies for So. so each.

GOOD NEWS TO PEACH GRoWERs.-
The st. Joseph Herald gives the result of
the application of hot water and ashes to
peach trees to eradicate the yellows:
The yellows, which have been such a
bane to peach orchards promise so to con-
tinue no longer. simultaneously from the
east, south and west comes word that the
tree revives, puts forth new foliage and
ripens its fruit under the influence of hot
water and ashes. John Whittlesey, Esq.,,
was the first in this vicinity to announce the
discovery OF fungoidal disease at the root of
the tree. Mr.. Thomas Meehan of the Gar
deners' Monthly shortly after announced
his investigation in the same direction. The
investigation of Professor Kediz, of Lansing
States Agricultural College, on the yellows,
led him to the same conclusion.
We are safe in saying that the right di-
rection has at last been reached in the in
yestigation of this disease and its remedy.
As yet the subject has not been exhausted,
nor has certainty been reached in the eradi-
cation or cure of the evil. This, however,
is certain, that the application of hot
water and ashes has saved many trees.
Query-ls this due to the action of heat
alone and if SO, would not pack of I'M
Stacked lime about the collar of the tree,
well covered, by Stacking, produce heat
enough to accomplish the same result?
Every tree in every orchard ought to
have pail of hot water poured around the
collar of the tree every spring. This would
accomplish two results, namely, it would
kill the peach borer or grub, and arrest the
yellows in its incipient stages. Either one
of these results world amply compensate
the labor involved.

FREE DISCUSSION.
BuRFooT PRS, june 3, 1872,

BURFooT PRS, June 3, 1872.
IL the Editor Of the State Journal:
Several articles have appeared in your
paper recently, advocating protection to
American, industry, in which you make
certain statements in regard to English life
and labor. While l am as much in favor
of protection as any one can be, and am
happy to believe that after the coming Presi-
Dental election it will be an established
fact. Yet, cannot let the many errors
made by you in reference to English instr
tutions pass without receiving from my
hands the correction their fallacy demands.
/ admit the church law there is oppres-
sive upon some classes, and unjust in its
general bearing upon society, but it does
not follow, imagine, that, because one
component part is defective, the whole
fabric is mass of corruption, nor do |
think the institutions of this country receive
much commentator by reason of any
reflections upon those of England.
So far from it being true that girls of
four years of age are worked in brick-yards,
it is well known to all conversant
with the laws of England that it is ex-
pressly forbidden. BY an act passed more
than thirty years ago, commonly known
as Lord SANKEY'S act; not only was it
enacted that girls should not be employed,
but the employment of boys under ten
years of age was made unlawful, and the
utmost vigilance is used to see that the
law is not violated, detectives in disguise
often visiting the various works for that
purpose, and any infraction Of the law is
promptly and severely punished.
The farm laborers Of Warwickshre, in
stead of getting, as you have stated, thirty
six cents day, and living on bread and
water, perhaps cold potato for breakfast,
and their other meals equally as bad, re-
ceiye (and speak from my own personal
knowledge from sixty to seventy-five cents
per day, with an allowance of good beer,
and other privileges, and while they may
have such unpleasant burdens to bear as
church rates, and taxes of a like character,
yet am satisfied their condition will COM
pare favorably with that of any people,
and their robust and manly appearance is,
1 think, sufficient refutation of the charge
that their food is either coarse and insufIi-
Gent.
Firmly believing as do, that this coun-
try can never be permanently prosperous
without protection to our home industry,
and again assuring you of my hearty APP
proval of your efforts in that behalf,
| am, very respectfully, yours,
80 @ JOB ATKINS.

Flow to Get an Orchard.

After selecting the ground for an orchard,
60 to work aud dig and haul all the stone
and stumps from it. Plough deep and level
the land off, and you are ready for your
fence. Put on good, substantial fence,
that will not admit any creatures only by
the way of the gate or bars, and always
keep the fence in good repair, and suffer no
cattle to enter the enclosure, only for the
purpose of labor. This fence built you
will plough your ground again, and harrow
and work in manure to your liking. Sow
your ground and seed down the same. Pick
up all the stones and sticks that lie on top
Of the ground, and take them away so that
it will leave smooth surface.
Select the best trees you can find those
that are young, straight and sound. When
you take them up be careful and do not
break any Of the roots. for thew have none
topart with. When set they want to be
so near each other that they will shade the
ground well. When it is necessary to cut
limbs, cut them when small. Let the lower
limbs be so high from the ground that tall
man can pass under them and not hit his
beaver. When you prune, be careful and
ietno two limbs in the top chafe each other;
cut off one of the two.
Now for the management of the ground.
Ysu must keep all ploughs and hogs
shouts out of the surface of the ground of
your orchard. / know most every one
says (and practices) ploughing, sowing,
moving, and hauling crops out Of their or
chard, but ] say it is bad practice. Let
the crop of grass go back into the ground
every year, and that will keep the ground
mellow and rich, and VIII protect the roots
Of the trees from the droughts of the
season and the cold chills Of the fall and
spring, and also help to keep them warm,
rugged, and healthy. By SO doing, they
will bear well and live long. You want
your ground IN q condition that will bear
thirty or forty hundreds to the acre. O.
