Horrible Condition OF Affairs I'm n
Military PenItenfiary.
Washington Special to the Cincinnati Gazette.
The horrible condition of affairs in the
Texas penitentiary at Huntsville has Just
been brought TO light. An investigation in
progress there has called out a report of
thorough examination, made under the
direction of Gen. Augur, by Assistant Judge
Advocate Emery last year, and the same
condition is reported by citizens to exist
at present. Upon receiving the report
all military prisoners we're al once removed
on recommendation of Gems. Augur, Sher-
idan and Sherman. There were 1,3O0
prisoners, 633 living in the penitentiary
and the rest working on the plantations
and railroad. The number in the peDi-
Tertiary slept and lived in 295 cells, less
than eight feet by five, with no ventilation
except a CRATE in the door. Food was very
Door, and only twenty minutes allowed for
two meals; all the rest Of the time, from
$50 IN the morning till night, at work and
no supper, except some corn bread
handed into the cells. Punishments
were horrible. Those on the plantations
were flogged severely on the least prOvOca-
ton, and in the penitentisTy and on the
railroad they used frequently what was
known as the horse, consisting of a small
iron driven into post. The prisoner was
then seated astride this with his back to
the post and his hands and feet tied behind
it. The stock was commonly used, with
the place for the head and arms so arranged
. that the prisoner had to stand on his toes
or risk breaking his neck if he let himself
down on his fiat foot. These things are
only indications of the whole manage
ment,

THE UNCERTAINTIES OF FARMING.
Last year the fall of rain In David.

a half inches in July. This year it has
been a fraction over eight inches; or
about three times the quantity. Inthe

water, destructive by excess one year,
and not less injurious by a deficiency
IN the next, how shall cultivator Of

contingencies? Our land needs more

seasons; and such doubtless is the con-

ers. No soil can bold an unlimited
amount of water, and proper outlets
should be provided for its escape, or it
may ruin valuable crops. Recent

valuable as staples ot the country.
Last year army worms, grasshoppers,
chineh bugs and drouth, were very de-
struetive, The dry weather tended to
increase the fruitfulness of the present
summer by drawing up plant food, or
agricultural salts, from the deep sub
soil for crops this season. But, alas!
an excess of rain has taken these fer
tilizing salts, after their absorption In
grain and other crops, with much labor

they may add a little to the salts Of the

To the Union and American:
BROWNSVILLE, July 3l.-Does it pay
to top" cotton IN rich land, and if SO,
what time is the best to do it? Is there
any danger of it spreading so much
that The under bolls viii rot before
opening when topped? Is the idea of
working cotton IN August a good one
IN your opinion? Please answer and
obhge A SUBSCRIBER.
Some years since, when the writer
was editing the Southern CuItiUator, in
Augusta, Ga, several cotton planters
IN that and other States experimental
in topping cotton to increase the yield
Of seed and lint. The reported gain
was considerable, but for some reason,
perhaps the low price of cotton, the
practice of pruning cotton plants to
check the growth Of wood las. pruning
grape vines and increase that Of fruit,
was never generally adopted. The Ia
Dor Is considerable; but this wet sum-
mer, when there is an excess of weed,
1t ought to pay. At the North, all who
make a business of raising blackberries
and raspberries for market, cut off the
ends Of the canes to develop more
bloom and fruit. The sooner the head.
ing IS done on cotton plants the better.
We have long been IN the practice of
pinching off the end buds or runners
Of Lima beans, and think we get much
more fruit by the operation. No plant
while growing vigorously and forming
wood tissue, is inclined to stop develop.
ing leaf buds and organize fruit buds
or germs. Judicious pruning checks
this tendency to wood growth, and
causes the plant to provide for the
next generation of its kind, which is
the whole purpose Of cotton seed, or
any other. Lint is q mere appendage
to the seed.
As for cultivating cotton in August,
a light harrow to stir the ground be-
tween the rows and not break the roots
Of the plant, viii doubtless benefit the
crop. Grass and weeds viii do much
harm; and a fat buzzerd pillow that
will run only an inch deep may cut
them off, will help the cotton.
ABE STRIPED SNAKES POISONOUS
The St. ABaas VI Messenger re-
cords the following singular incident:
A valuable COW, belonging TO Mr.. Jew
ell at the Bay, died from the effects of
a bite received from a venomous snake
last Saturday. The COW wandered off
from the pasture and went to some
marshy land near the lake, and while
eating the grass the snake got into her
mouth. In a few minutes the poor
beast became frenzied and ran into the
lake. but was chased out of the water
by several people who witnessed her
antics. She ran to the barn yard, and
after being there a few minutes she
fell dead. Soon after dying, q striped
snake, three feet in length, crawled out
of her mouth, which proved to have
caused her death.
The COW probably died from cOnvul-
sions induced from overwhelming fear
and the presence Of a reptile in heI
mouth. The bite of a striped snake is
probably no worse than that Of a SPUR
rel. A snake with no glands for Sc,
creting poison would be like a dron,
bee with no sting, unless anger OF
strong passion develops poison, as som,
scientists believe. Fear is thought t
favor the spread Of contagion; and i
one poison why not another?

TIE NelU Orleans Times, which reck-
lessly and specifically charged Andrew
johnson with buying up a delegation
in the Legislature for $4,000, Is now
as loud as the lOudest in bis praise. 1t
says in the issue of Aug. l, that hewas
a man who, judged by any standard,
was great; that IN spite of his faults
he was great; that his bitterest ene-
mics never questioned his honesty and
integrity; that he took no presents; had
no family" to take care of, and left
| the White House poorer than when he
went IN; that while immense fortunes
were made In the riot of extravaganza
and corruption the irTepressi6le Ten
nesseeau came out with garments not
having the faint of corruption on them;
that be returned to the Senate Just at
| the time when the majority of the
American people had practically vlndi-
Gated the souUdness of his position;
| that history will write him down as the
central figure of this era, and that he
was that noblest work of God, an.
honest man! All this sounds very fine,
coming from a journal that less than
six months ago charged him with petty
bribery, and never had the manliness
to make any withdrawal or correction.
COId.BIOOded.

The Presidents order announcing
| the death of Andrew johnson, and
directing that the marks of respect
| usual IN such cases be paid to his men,
DRY, is about as brief and cOid-blOoded
a paper as could be found IN the ar
chIves of the executive. 1t viii foreibly
recall to public recollection the occasion
Of the quarrel between the deceased,
who was then President, and the present
chief magistrate, who was then General
of the army, and acting Secretary of
War. The feud was of a nature that
could scarcely admit of reconciliation,
andthe survivor could not be reasonably
expected to forget it but the wisdom
of his inviting public attention to an
occurrence IN which he cut 50 deplorable
afgure, by the studied formality of the
order referred t., is not apparent. Mr.
johnson, 1t will be remembered, fatty
charged the General with lying, which
was bad enough; and he proved the
charge by the testimony of almost
every member Of the Cabinet, which
was much worse.
