Longstreet to the President, in which he
states that his resignation of the surveyor

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS,
THE EUREKA CORN PLANTER.

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by II. NJ. Smith & Co, accom-
plishes what has always been a desderatuin in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted, and as to the dis
tance between the hills.
All Planters depending upon a brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
increases the quantity dropped.
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
sity of 1t, and insures ABSOLUTE REGU.
LARITY IN the number of grains deposited
IT is THE BEST CORN PLANTER IN USE.

opinion Of all who have used it,

"reminiscences of John Randolph.

was much pleased with reminiscence
of that representative Virginian, John Ran
dolph, byacotemporary, which appeared in
a recent issue Of the WEEKLY. Allow
me to give the sequel to the story, as friend
Jacob told it to me. Randolph, after his
great forgiving heart, which was the con-
trolling influence of his nature, had prompt
ed him in his last hours to a reconciliation
with Clay, addressed him in this wise 81
say, Clay, if | get well | want you to un-
derstand [ take this all back" Thus we
see that beside forgiving heart, sort OF
grim humor was also "a ruling spirit strong
in DEATH" HOLLYWOOD.

FREE DISCUSSION.
Postomce Efficiency.

To the Editor Of The State Journal:
We congratulate the Richmond postmis-
tress upon her speedy adjustment Of the
recent disjointed spring in the mechanical
operations of her methodical department.
If all the broken springs Of the government
could be as readily repaired by some of the
masculine gender, we think a prodigious
amount of jarring and grating would be
dispensed with.
The Inconvenience consequent on the
little breakage has enabled many persons to
fully realize how blessed they have been in
the long uninterrupted enjoyment of the
prompt delivery Of their mail at their
several abodes. And to my estimable
carrier, say God bless him!

10 the Editor Of the State Jouaal
Your paper of yesterday contained some
account of experiments with molten iron,
and the editorial inquiry whether any per-
sons in this city had ventured to bathe their
hslids in so hot fluid. Ihave never had the
opportunity Of experimenting with melted
iron, but | have often poured melted lead
over my hands in experiments illustrating
the spheroidal condition of water. | per-
formed this experiment only a few days
since before my class in philosophy, and
think / should not hesitate with the iron,
as tic hotter the liquid the greater the
safety. "NIRILIs."

Our correspondent adds that South Bos-
ton is making an effort to have the county
seat removed from Halifax to that place.
When any considerable portion of the peo-
pie of a county are in favor of such a
change, the best and only fair way to set
tie the question is by a fair, free and full
vote of the people, and we hope the people
of Halifax may speedily have the opportu-
nifty to decide this question in such a way.
