GEN. G.. W. CARTER -WARMoTlI-Mr R.
Fl. Glass, writes from Washington to the
Lynchburg Republicans follows: Gov. War
moth, of Louisiana, and Gen. George W. Car
ter are representing before the President and
Congress their respective parties and interests
in that unfortunate State. Warmoth is one of
the finest looking men | ever saw. Thirty
years old, six feet two inches high, born In Il
linois, raised 10 Missouri, and emf grated TO
Texas, and thence to Louisiana. lie Is very
imposing and persuasive man-very polite,
generous and smart-but also, and particular
", INSCRIPTIONS in the management OF public
affairs Carter, at one time universally known
and beloved in Virginia, looks as he did twelve
years ago when among our people, and L had a
long and pleasant talk with him to-day. He
has not drank for nearly year, does not gam
bic, and, to all appearances. IS better mau
than he has been since the close of the war
He says that the best southern men and the Dem
ocratic party sustain him in Louisiana and
that he intends to be the next Governor of
that State. While We were talking together
his competitor, Gov War,uoth, Came in, spoke
to Carter, and said: Garter, what are you do
ing here?'' Il am attending to my business, y
replied Carter very curly. What are you
doing here?'' oh, said Warmoth, very
pleasantly, Il just come to help you, and then
passed on They both interviewed the Presi-
dent TO day Carter inquired OF MANY Of his
old friends whom seems to remember in
great affection. His family is still in Lou
doun county, and his oldest son is in the
custom house in New Orleans Whatever may
be said or thought Of Carter he has at least
two very fine qualities splendid talents and
unhiuching courage.

the view of compelling connection with Wash

R. R. The proceedings are to be published in

offered requesting New York papers to copy,
but think it was not carried. The committee

Mr.. William Saunders, Of the Agricultural
Department, gives it as his opinion that 1T is
entirely practicable to make the Allauthus tree
available as shade tree without being annoy
ed with it's blossoms; acting upon the we'll
known law in vegetable physiology that flowers
are not produced upon plant while 1t is in
condition of excessive growth. We have only
TO pruue the trees severely during the winter
50 as to excite the production of young, vlgor-
Gus shoots. 4 thorough pruning once in four
or five years will effectually prevent the torma-
ton of howerbuds.

SHIP BUILDING. There is no place on the
Atlantic coast which presents better field for
enterprise in the way of ship building than
Alexandria, Capitalists at the North should
look at this matter. Along the banks of the
Potomac any quantity of timber for building
purposes can be easily and chearly procured,
aud there is depth Of water here for the launch
inr of the largest merchant vessels. Labor
can be procured at as low rates as anywhere
else; and there are other advantages and
facilities which must be obvious to all who are
thinking of engaging in the business to which
We refer.

Since the commencement Of the last month the
iron rolling mills throughout the country have
ceased to manufacture boiler plates for marine
engines, and the proprietors thereof have mott
fed their customers-the iron founders and
Loer makers--that they will no longer be able
to supply them with the material for the con-
struction of boilers for steam vessels. This,
il is alleged, is in consequence OF the coming
in force Of an act of Congress: passed February
2s, 1871, one section Of which provides that
every steel or iron boiler plate shall be stamped
with the name of the manufacturer, the place
where manufactured and subjected to inspec-
ton. This, it is said, would not be cavlIled at
if, after inspection, the responsibility OF the
manufacturer ceased but the act has been so
famed as to render the manufacturer liable for
al damages arising from defects.

HOME GARDENING. The weather now
seems to be propitious for gardening oper-
ations, and we propose to rive few genera! di-
rectinns for The benefit Of amateur gardeners
and florists The season so far has been So
backward that but little if any work has been
done in the garden or yard Should the pres
cut warm weather continue many varieties OF
seed should b. >own at once, and plants IN the
ground should be we'll worked and manured.
Borders should be worked up, walks laid of,
and every preparation made for vigorous
campaign. If not already done, grape vines
should be tied to their tres or stakes, and
strawberry beds should have light hoeing to
free them from the early growth of weeds.
Iu the vegetable garden full stock of seeds
may lie sown Sow second crop Of peas; later
in the mouth pole and bush snap beans can be
planted for carly crops Lettuce must be
nsplanted for succession of crops. All the
arrangements should now be made for the sum
mer. The places where all varieties of vegeta-
bic and flower seed are to be sown or plant:
set out, should now be manurcd and worked ~
in order that when the season arrives for trans
planting or sowing no time may be lost. --
