Nr. Greeley. If Elected President,
will Anaugurate an Era Of
Good Feeling and treat
all his supporters

The following is the letter of Gen. j. B.
Gordon, of Georgia, giving the result Of his
interview with Mr.. Greeley:
ATLANTA, GA, Aug. %, 1872.
Col. CHAs. E. McGREGoR,
Editor Warrenton Clipper:
DEAR COLONEL: Your inquiry as to
whether the Democratic Party can expect
any recognition from Horace Greeley, its
lifelong enemy, in case of his election. is a
most natural and important one, and one
which has given me much concern. You
accompany this inquiry with two remarks
First, that you had heard it claimed that
in conversation with me Mr.. Greeley had
intimated that if elected he would recog-
nIze in his appointments the claims of the
Democratic party upon him.
Secondly, that believing that the con-
test is now as to who shall control the Pres
dent," you are under the conviction that if
it is made public that the Democracy would
an equal showing with the Republicans, it
would enable all ''straight-outs to cease OPP
position and rally to his support =
L consider the unity of Democrats in
Georgia OF such Overshadowing consequence
now that l give you, as requested, the sub
stance Of Mr.. Greeleyss remarks, with the
hope that the good results you anticipate
may to some extent be realized,
In company with several prominent
Southern gentlemen [ met Mr.. Greeley, at
IIiC 1CduCob VI OCIlOCidOiC AlICAidNs anu oLHA
ted to him the fact that it was of great mo-
ment TO Democrats, and especially to the
Southern people, To know what class of
couuselors he would have about him if elect
ed. His reply was in effect this: 81 am Civ
en- credit for having some common sense. |
should not consider myself entitled to this
credit if | should turn my back upon Il ma
jority of the men who had elected me-" |
can now see no objection to making this
public, as he has himself in a recent speech
oily A |
this conversation had some effect in allay-
ing my opposition to Mr.. Greeley, and in
connection with other considerations, which
| shall have the honor of submitting to your
people in a speech which | have agreed to
make on the first Tuesday i'll September,
have decided me to give him my support.
Very respectfully yours,
j. B. GORDON.

Shade n Fertilizer.

That shade is a fertilizer is a fact
winch has long been noticed, and much
us been written to explain it. A few
words will be sufficient for that purpose.
sAade operates simply by preserving the
ammonia which is in the soil and which
continually furnished by rain and snow
saier, and also by manures, and which
rapidly driven off from naked sur
lace Of the soil by searching sun. To
preserve the ammonia, the skillful farmer
blows his manure shortly after it is
aanures upon his meadows late in the
aii, or in the winter or earl y in the
prlng, SO that the ammonia may be
washed out of it into the soil, and prevent
; evaporation by the sun.
Ammonia is either food or a condiment
Tor most plants, which is necessary to
laelr rapid growth. 1t has been ascer-
AIMED by repeated experiments in Eng
and that the largest crops of wheat can
.e raised by imparting to the soil an ex-
ca quantity of ammonia, either by di-
teetly spreading salts of ammonia or by
! lano. Hence the greatest fertility of
Inc soil will be more surely preserved by
" alienation of crops rather than naked
ALLOW, from which scorching sun drives
~ the ammonia rapidly. We should
EVER bear in mind the eloquent words of
! n English writer that mighty Nature
1enews her strength, not by indolent
.epose, bat in alterations in energy

A Carpet.Rngged STATE.

One Cain, a Radical candidate for
Congress in South Carolina, who carries
a brand on his forehead as infamous as
that of his namesake of olden time-has
made precious confession of the condi-
ton to which the affairs of that State has
been brought by its Mongrel rulers. He
says !:
We find the schools closed and the treas
ury depleted. The Legislature has made
vast appropriations during the last session.
Those appropriations were four-one of
100000, one of $4,000, one of 100000 and
one of $50, O00-making a total of $5S0,0O0.
These appropriations are enormous and out
rageous. We propose to scale the bonds
and pay off the debts
When it is remembered that the pres
ent State and county tax of South Caro-
lima is two millions seven hundred thous-
and dollars annually and that a bonded
debt of twenty millions has been created
and the money realized-an idea may be
formed of the extent Of the corruption
and villainy that have reigned supreme
in that State. 1t is now proposed by the
authors of the debt to ''scale it, which
means to take off or repudiate Il portion
of it. The fund-mongers who, in order
to realize large gains have invested IN the
securities fraudulently issued by the car
pet-bag governments will yet come to
grief.
