WHEN patriots and heroes" like Har-
ris and Wade Hampton, are restored to
power the hard-working people OF East
Tennessee will be taxed to pay the rebel
war debt -KnorUille Chronicle,
A party that has to use such stuff
as the above must be hard up for
material. 1t is an appeal to preiu-
dices born of stupidity and igno-
rance. The evidences Of the rebel
war debt, consisting of bonds and
treasury notes have mostly been de-
stroyed. Not one man in ten thou
sand in the South has any of them
left. The London bondholders
possibly may have stock on hand.
If this debt had to be paid the
Southern people would be taxed to
pay it; therefore they are as much
interested IN the total Reputation
of this dead debt as the people Of
any other section. The leaders OIL
the Republican party know this,
and know that the Southern people
have no more thought of paying
these claims, even if they had the
power, than they have of restoring
slavery in New England, where i
Aourished as long as it would pay
and was then banished South
Yet such reckless assertions as tn.
above are grayely put forth as tn.
truth, and possibly are accepted a
such by some ignorant, prejudice,
minds.

New YORK, August 36.-The
Pacific Mail steamship Colon, which
sailed from here August goth, for.
Aspinwall, returned to-day in a dis
abled condition. After being two
DAYS out a terrific explosion took
place, followed by a great rush OF
steam, which completely enveloped
the vessel, causing much excitement
among the passengers. After some
time it was discovered hat one of
the boilers had burst, and that two
men had been killed, the chief en-
gineer and one of the iremep.
Several passengers were scalded'
The Colon hoisted signals Of dis
tress which were answered by the
steamer Etna, and the disabled
vessel was towed into port.

CHICAGO, August 26.-A special
to the Times from the Yellowstone
expedition, steamer Josephine, near
the mouth Of the Yellowstone, Au-
gust goth, via Bismarck, 25th, says;
"Since the junction Of Crook and
Terry it is hoped to overtake and
force a fight with the Sioux. The
command moved west to the Big
Horn mountains where, on the 14th,
a trail five or six days old and two
miles wide, being the heaviest ever
seen on the prairie, was discovered.
This trail finally separated, and
were found to be in full retreat, one
band heading north toward the
British possessions, with the proba-
BILE intention Of crossing the line;
the other going south along the
Little Missouri for the purpose of
crossing the Missouri river above
Forth Berthold. There is every in
dication that the hostiles have been
reinforced by Agency Indians.
They have their families, and evil
IDENTIFY intend remaining north this
winter.
The army has a difficult pro-
gramme, and it will be almost mi
raculous if they oyertake the saw
ages, who are well mounted. When
the supplies are exhausted the SOL
diers will have to return to the sup
ply camp.
General Miles, commanding the
Fifth infantry, returned to the
camp on the Rosebud on the 18th
inst, and was instructed to patrol
the river north Of Fort Buford and
intercept any bands attempting to
cross the Yellow Stone moving
north; also, to construct winter
quarters at the mouth Of Tongue
| river for one regiment Of infantry.
: The steamers Far West, Joseph
i. inc Carroll and Yellowstone have
been placed at his disposal, and sup
plies for the command are being
rapidly shipped up the river from
Buford. The steamers Carroll anC
Far West will be employed in pat.
rolling the river. Gen. Miles's com.
mand has been reinforced by two
companies of the 18th infantry anC
other troops, averaging him a tota.
of about 700 men.

the campaign. The steamers ar

has three Gatling gun and sewers

j. bank of the Yellowstone before tn
I. war ends.
A later dispatch, dated Angus
22d, near mouth of Powder river
says the practical failure of tn

and that the government will no.

In a few days writs of possession

zens of this county oust;ng them
of their homes and shelter on ac-
count of their inability to pay their

fortunate people are widows and
orphan children, without money OF
friends. Now in view Of this awful
fact, and the very doubtful right Of
our Governor to pay the bond
holder, would it not be better fol
him to hold up awhile, and, ifnec'
@esssary, use this surplus fund IN
the Treasury for the relief of sui
fering humanity which will surely
follow? 1t is better for the ricl
bondholder to wait than for thosI
poor people to starve.

AGRICULTURAL.
PRUNING GRAPE VINES.


If delayed much longer the sap will
flow out where cut, which may occa-
sion some injury, although not so
much as some people suppose. Pro-
fessional grape growers need not be
told when or how to prune their vines,
but the majority Of farmers are slow
to learn, and their vines are common
ly left to grow year after year with
out any pruning except to cut off a
portion of the shoots that have be-
come to rampant, carrying with them
foliage enough to let in the sunshine,
and which, instead Of doing good,
often causes serious injury tothe vine.
Then, as the vine grows old, the new
growth each season being upwards,
the top Of the trellis becomes dense
mat, l.. which the fruit becomes mil
dewed and the vine no longer of use,
at least for that season. There is no
more mystery about pruning a grape
vine than an apple tree, although the
operation is much more essential for
the vine than the tree.
To understand how to prune a vine
it is necessary to keep in view few
simple rules: First, bearing vine,
it will be observed, is composed OF a
main stem and its arms or branches
Of what is called old wood-a growth
previous to that Of the last year; this
wood is easily distinguished by the
dark color Of its bark; then the small
er branches of the last seasons
growth called cones Now, it is nee
essary to remember that it is only
these canes that buds are formed from
that bear the fruit, no buds or fruit
coming from the old wood. There
fore it is essential in pruning to see
that sufficient number (but not too
MANY Of these healthlest young
canes are left for fruit bearing and at
a sufficient distance apart, that their
lateral shoots will have room to spread
without being to much crowded,
To secure this result it is necessary
to cut away part Of the old wood
nearly to the ground, to make room
for thrifty young canes to take its
place; and these canes have to be cut
off at about one half their length, so
as to prevent the vine from becoming
to thick al the top. And where it is
not necessary that old branches should
be thus removed the young canes
which are left for fruit- bearing should
b. shortened to twelve or six inches
in length, (two or three buds and
no more of them to remain than can
without danger Of being crowded.
In fact all the small and weekly ones
should be cut entirely away, and a
few Of the best shortened thus for
fruit
The common fault with farmers
and indeed with many professional
viueyardists, is TO allow too many Of
these canes to remain lor fruit, there,
by causing the vines to overbear.
This is the main cause why so many
grape vines fail and the quality Of the
fruit SO poor.
