On the Cultivation Of Orchard Grass.
We have for many years been the advo-
cate Of sowing orchard grass as one Of the
most valuable Of the grasses for the farmer
having dairy cows, but it is only within
few years past that the advice appears to
have been accepted and acted upon BY
farmers; and now we are glad to find that
i IS being very generally adopted. We
think, and have always 50 advised, that il
is better to SOW il early in the Spring with
clover seed, although some think il adyis-
able to sow it BY itself II the former
plan Is pursued the clover should be sown
first in the usual way, and afterwards the
orchard grass to follow. Put the seed Of
the latter on floor aud noisten il with
water slowly poured from watering not,
the seed being thoroughly turned over
during the process and shcvelled into a
pile, and thus remain 10 bulk twelve hours
before being sown, mixing it with twice
its bulk Of sand or ashes-the moro readi-
| ly 70 effect evenness of distributor. The
two grasses mixed make a much better
hay than clover does alone; greater pro-
duction is secured at the FIRST cutting.
while tho afterswarth is much larger, and
the pasture in the Fall win be more luxu-
rant and enduring, and the liability to
hoven in cattle less than when clover Il
eaten alone. They both come into bloom
about the same time, when they should be
cut, as the objection to coarseness in or
chard grass is thus avoided. We will
have occasion to further speak on the Gull
tivation, and particularly on the harvesting
and preserving Of it. In the meantime
here we viii add some remarks upon the
value Of this grass by an enthusiastic far
mer in the Rural Nep Yorker, and his
appreciation of it fully confirmed BY Mr..
Croser, celebrated dairyman in that State,
who attributes the salvation almost during
last years drought Of his stock to having
provided himself with heavy crop Of or
chard grass. As to the superiority Of the
plan Of sowing il BY itself, there may be
difference OF opinion We, however, give
the writer's own description Of his trial
Il have had farmers remark to me that
they could not do without clover. | say
that no farmer can afford to be without
orchard grass For pasture, orchard grass
Is worth twice as much as clover. One
acre of orchard grass viii afford as much
pasture as two of clover, and cattle win
fatten faster on il. A very grave objec-
ton to clover, and one which Ihavcnever
known to happen with orchard grass, is
that cattle frequently eat too much Of il,
and sometimes die from the effects thereof
For hay, there is nothing thar know Of
that can equal orchard grass Cover does
not yield as much BY one-third, and ! have
always found more or less difficulty in sci
ling clover hay; whereas ! have never had
enough orchard grass hay to supply the
demand, the orchard grass hay always sell
ling for from 10 to 20 cents per 100 Ina.

the political situation of the country. He
accused the Democratic party OF trying to
reduce the country to bankruptcy and ruin,
and of making every effort in their power
TO bring up a war of races, and inflaming
the mind of the negro instead Of pacifying
them. He fully Endorsed the action of the
Louisiana usurper Kellogg, and tried to
mislead his audience by saying that in
the contest for the reins Of the
government of Louisiana, colored men
were slaughtered; referred at length to the
number of outrages that were perpetrated
by masked white men during the month of
August, but failed to state the number that
were perpetrated by negroes; thereby mis-
leading his audience and leaving the i'm
preston upon their minds that the eolored
people had been the victims Of all these
outrages, and masked white men the per-
petrators. He urged the colored men TO
insist upon their being summoned upon
juries.
He spoke at length npon the Civil Rights
bill, and gave his audience of three hundred
colored and three white Republicans to I'M
derstand that by electing Maynard and the
balance of the party, they would soon en-
joy every thing set apart for them in that
bill.
The two candidates nominated are both
as good material as the party can ind IN
the county, and are smart enough not to
waste much time in canvassing, as past ex-
perience has taught them that Porter, Boyd
and Glenn will walk out of old Maury in
November with at least two thousand
majority. MAURY.

THE TOCsIN OF REGULATION.

While waiting fuller report of ex-
President Jolnson's remarkable speech
at Chattanooga last evening, we cannot
permit this issue to go to press without
adverting to the views credited to him
by our special dispatch. In an inter
view with him last spring, the writer of
this called Mr.. Johnson's attention to
the circumstance that the logic he ap-
piled TO our State debt would apply
even mOreforcibly to the National debt.
It would seem he has followed his
logic to the memorable conclusion.
OF the two, we are more jealous OF
State honor. Why? Because it comes
nearer to US, and is more under our
control. And State honor is, after all,
the only safeguard for National honor.
Honest States will make an honest
Union. Dishonest States viii make a
dishonest Union.
As to the National debt, it was Gre
ated by the North, and that section
bears the greater portion of the
burden it entails. If ever the
question of its reputation should
spring up, let it be in the North, not
here. 1t is neither honorable nor ex-
pedient for Southern States or
statesmen to initiate the discussion.
In the present juncture it would be de-
hberate suicide.
For these reasons, it is some relief
to know that the advocate of national
Reputation is an ex-President of the
nation, elected on the Republican
ticket. His reputation and influence
is national, and above party. He is
amply able to shoulder the response.

An unusual stir seems now to pervade
the race course, and every morning the
clinkers may be seen flying over the track.
The horses are all working splendidly, and
frequently make brushes that are well worth

The track is extraordinarily fast, the am

Yesterday, Sandy Coclrill was down at
the course making his arrangements to fur

The entries for each race are unusually
large, and before the weeks end there will,
undoubtedly, be some very warmly con-

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.--The EoeRiHg Post
publishes the following:
Mr. Beecher was before the grand jury
about an hour to-day, answering questions
from members Of that body, in reference
To the published articles attacking his char
acter. The indictment against Theo. Til
ton for libelling Mr.. BeeCher, was then
specified and read to the latter, who said it
was correct. The document sets forth that
TheO. TiltOn, wickedly and mali
ciOusly, with the intent TO in
jure and scandalize the Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher, in his good name, fame and
character, subjecting him to contempt and
disgrace, and to prOyOSe him and his
friends to commit breech of the peace,
published on or about Sept. Is, or caused to
be published in the Daily Graphic and cir
culated in Brooklyn and elsewhere, false,
scandalous and malicious libel concerning
him. The part of the article referred 10
was the alleged commission of adultry in
October, 1853, with Mrs. TiltOn, and the
assertion as to the doubtful paternity of a
child born the following year.
The grand jury also read to Bsecher a
second indictment against Frank ID. MOul-
ton, which is worded similar to that found
against TiltOn, charging him with libeling
Beecher by causing the publication of false,
malicious and slanderOus reports in the
Daily Graphic.
After Beecher left, the grand jury pre-
sented the indictments to the Court of Ses-
siOns and were discharged by Judge Moore,
who thanked them for their services.
The Double Eagle Suit.
Counsel for the Brooklyn Eagle this
morning appeared before Judge Nelson and
asked that the two suits for libel brought
against his clients by Henry &. Bowen be
consolidated. Decision is reserved.
Messrs. TiltOn and MoultOn will not DC
formally arrested, but will be notified 10
appear ON Monday and furnish bonds pend
ing their trial, which it is intimated will
take place at an early day.
There was great excitement in Brooklyn
when it became known that MIR. Beecber
had appeared before the grand jury. 1t is
understood that when Mr.. Beecher gave his
testimony he was in the highest Gegree en-
phatic and declared that the allegations of
Tilton and MoultOn were ''atrOciOus false

been at the expense of the bondhoIders.
Gov. Kellogg has addressed supplemental
statement to the Picdy1le, in which he
claims large reduction in current expen-
ses from previous years. He says: We
are endeayoriug to contine the expenses
within the receipts, and have so far succeed
ed. that there remained only balance OF
$4,000 excess of expenditure over re
ceipts last year. This year it is believed
the receipts will nearly or quite cover the
expenses; zone of the constitutional amend
ments to be voted in November, renders it
impossible for any State government here
after to issue warrants in excess Of its re-
ceipts, and this cuts off one great source of
the present financial difficulty of the State.
