THE Nashville (Tenn.l Union has the following:
The Washington REPUBLICAN Of the 18th In
slant says:
" The President yesterday received number
of kilograms from New York, Philadelphia and
Boston, beseechlng him to adhere TO the Chris
thanking peace policy towards the Indians
The milk Of human Kindness wells up In the
breasts OF these benevolent gentlemen at the
mere thought that a handful OF treacherous
sayages are to be punished for an act OF butchery
which has no parallel In the history OF Indian
warfare In this country. But when the milf
iary were chasing the white men Of two or
three counties In South Carolina from point to
point, arrestlng them and taking them before a
court organized 70 convict, and hustllng them
on to the penitentlary at Albany almost without
the formAlty Of trial. did one Of these ever
appeal to the President to stop this thing and
see that simple Justice was done the people OF
that sectiOn7 Not one of them. Had an act OF
treachery and murder like that OF which the
the people OF any Southern State these very
men would have reloiced In hearing OF every
man In the surrounding country being arrested
and severely punished. What difference there
Is In the eyes Of Northern men between white
Southern men and tTeacherOus savages."
None so blind as those who will not see. The
benevolent gentlemen" did the very thing
which the Union says they did not do. The
white Modocs Of Tennessee, unreconstructed
and unrepentant, were hunting down and mur-
dering the unfortunate white and black loyallsts
Of that State, committing outrages (see Ru-Klux
reports) even greater and more horrible than
Captain Jack and his sayages perpetrated. The
peace policy In Tennessee was demonstrated to
he failure, and the military had to be called In
exactly the same as In the case OF the Modocs,
Tue blindness or stupidity OF the linton Is amaz-
log.

NEWSPAPER CORRESPONDENT writing from
Spain has something TO say OF the claimant Of
the Spanish throne After speaking In the most
complimentary terms Of the courage and SOL
dlery qualities OF the elder Aphonso whom he
believes will. instead Of Don Carlos, be the king
should the republic fall, he says: "But Don
Carlos! alas! alas! they say he Is person
ally coward. Idoubt II. never saw a spaniard
who was not brave enough In his way, but he Is
fatally indolent and fatally indicative" This
spanish Incidence and indeclsion, OF which
doubtless the Don Is represe are Just
the qualities that may shortly strangle the young
republic.

DUNNO rIiE LAST TWO WEEKS our daily and
Sunday contemporaries have been assalllng one
another In way that Is truly sad, and that must
mike all good men weep. We do not know who
began the woriy war, or how It originated; we
10 not know who Is right or who Is wrong in the
strife. All we know Is that the battle goes on
with yigor and an earnestness that affords but
faint hope Of any immediate termination.
Upon the whole, however, we arc Inclined TO
think that the bright lumInary that rises about
$50 every evening on the corner Of Eleventh
and streets Is slightly to blame. In the nrst
place, N Its representations are correct-and we
have no reason to doubt them-why should It,
after so cruel a fashion, distract the dying
thoughts Of Its Deighborf Why, In this trying
moment, divert Its attention from Its last end,
and summon up the dark and fearful record Of
us past life? The Star should rather watch by
lis bedside and minister the comfort and conso-
latiOn Il knows 30 well how to afford. No one
knows better than II docs that its binding rays
only dazzle the din and CLASSY eyes Of Its de-
PARTING friend. In mercy 1t should withdraw
them, and let tho last moments be passed In
peace.
Our Sunday contemporaries arc, II possible,
more culpable than the star. The star Is a
secular paper, that does not make any great pre-
tensions to evangelical piety or godliness, from
which VIC do not expect an over-plentlful stream
NJ grace and righteousness; but the sunday Jour
mails are devoted to all that Ia good and holy.
Their editors are remarkable for the purity aud
spotlessness Of their lives, and the illustration
In their daily conduct and intercourse with their
fellOw-men Of the sweet precepts OF Christianity
We are positively shocked to ind them even
stlll more unmindful than the Star Of the pre-
sept to love another, and II possible more irrev-
erent. our departing morning friend Is de-
nounccd by one as "wash-tub,r and by another

our getting more railroads to Southern cities
than we can support The question whether
the railroads will divert the trade of the coast
steamers is difficult one. As to passenger
travel the man who has time to make 1t, and
wants to take the sea trip, will go that way al
ways. AS to freight valuable goods will gen
orally 60 by rail, because they do not insure by
rail, and the insurance by steamer averages as
much as the freight by rail. The insurance OF, on

Less valuable freight costs less insurance, but
costs less, too for railroad freight, and the rail

benefits which may be derived from the
free use of salt among our domestic ami
mails. One of the best known means, both
as preventive and cure of footrot among
sheep, is the scattering of salt over the in
fected land.
SALT FOR DESTROYING INSECTS.
1t has long been known that salt
operates fatally upon nearly all cold
blooded animals that live upon land Or i'll
fresh water Sir John Sinclair many
years ago said that in Scotland, where the
oat crop was frequently destroyed by
grubs, it had long been the practice to
mix salt with seed in the proportion of
one to thirty-two, but sometimes one to
sixteen. If we scatter salt upon land in
tested with vermin it DESTROYS them, and
their bodies become the food of plants
Great care should be taken in applying
salt upon growing crops, as too much is
sure to be injurious lone to five bushels
per acre may be spread broadcast upon
meadows early in spring or upon land at
the time of sowing grain.
SALT FOR FUNGOID DISEASES.
Soaking seed wheat in urine Or brine to
prevent smut or blight has been practised
thousands of years, as we learn from the
writings of Cato, Virgil, Pliny and Col
umella. Still, we frequently hear farmers
speak of this practice as something new.
Salt is employed wherever scientific agri-
culture is practised, not only for destroy
ing vermin, but as preventive of fun
gold diseases in cereal crops. Every means
has been employed by our scientific men
to positively determine its value in agri-
culture, and the results all tend to show
that it is one Of the most important min
eral substances known. The use of salt
upon sheep pastures has been observed in
Spain and Germany from a very early pc
Rod. Its efficacy against "murrain or
rotte' was known in England in the six
teenth century, and for .fertilizing land it
was extensively used in the seventeenth
century. The long and almost obstinate
indifference of our farmers in the use of
salt is almost beyond comprehension, but
the time must come when it will be ex-
tensively employed as a manure-N Y
