LINCOLN TO GENERAL
HOOKER.
An Unpublished Letter From
President Lincoln to Fighting
Joe.

From the Providence Journal
EXECUTIVE MANSION, !
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1865.
Major General Hooker.
GENERAL: | have placed you at the
head of the army of the Potomac. OF
course, have done this upon what APP
pears to me to be sufficient reason, and
vet | think it best for you to know that
there are some things in regard to which
| am not quite satisfied with you. be-
lieve YOU to be brave and skillful sol
dier, which, of course, like. ! also be-
lieVe YOU do not mix politics with your
profession, in which you are right. You
have confidence in yourself, which IS
valuable, il not indispensable quality.
You are ambitious, which, within rea-
sonable bounds, does good rather than
harm: but | think that during general
Burnside's command of tine army you
have taken counsel OF your ambition and
thwarted him as much as you could, in
which YOU did great wrong to the
country and to a most merltOrlOus and
honorable brother officer. lhave heard,
i'm such way as to believe it, OF your re-
Gently saving that both the army and
the government needed dictator. OF
course it was not for this, but in spite OF
it that have given you the command.
Only those generals who gain successes
can set up dictators. What | now ask
of YOU is military success, and | will
risk the dictatorship. The Government
will support YOU to the utmost OF It's
ability, which is neither more nor less
than it has done and will do for all com
manders. | much fear that the spirit
YOU have aided to infuse into the army
o. Criticising their commander and with
holding confidence from him, will now
turn upon you. shall assist you as far
as | can to put it down. Neither you
nor Napoleon, if he were alive again,
could get any good out OF an army while
such a spirit prevails in it. And now
beware of rashness. Beware OF rash
ness, but with energy and sleepless
vigilence 60 forward and give us victor
les.
Yours, very truly,
\. LINCOLN.

The Largest Wheat Farm in the World.

The largest cultivated wheat farm on
the globe is said To be the GrOndin
farm. not Jar from the town of Fargo,
Dakota. 1t embraces some 10000 acres,
both government and railway land, and
lies close 10 the Red River. Divided III
To four parts, it has dwellings, grancrieS,
machine shops, elevators, stables Tor
POO horses, and room for storing l,OOO,-
900 bushels of grain Besides the wheat
farm. there is stock farm Of 2O,OOO
acres. In seeding time 20 to 50 men
are employed, and during the harvest
go Ia 500 men. Seeding begins about
April Q and continues on through the
mont. and is done very Systematically,
the machines following one another
around the field, some four rods apart.
Cutting begging August ), and ends ear
IL i'm September, succeeded by the
thrashing, with eight steam thraSherS.
After thrashing, the stubble ground Is
plowed with great plows, drawn by three
horses. and cutting two burrows; and
this Goes on until the weather Is cold
enough TO freeze, usually about NOvem-
her first. There are many other large
farms i'm the territory and IN the same
ncighborhood, and they are titled IN
much the same manner as the Grondln.
The surface oi the land generally IS al
most level. and the soil rich and black.
The product of one field OF 2,3l5 acres
is 57.2S5 buShelS-elevatOr weight
some l25 bushels to the acre. The
average Weld of the Dakota wheat farm
is from 20 10 p bushels per acre, and
the ccncurring testimony is that 1t Is
unequllcd as a wheat region in the
world.

successful Men.

We meet occasionally men who pos
scss a combination OF different and
varied talents. superior men IN what
sncvcr position they may be placed; but
.lrh instances are rare. Usually, such
mcl are successful. other men, who
know nothing, practically, about the
details of construction and qualities OF
material, sometimes succeed, but they
have an executive power well dcvel-
opcd, and supported by clear Iudg-
mont. trained by varied experiences,
they master all difficulties. One essen
ti1I element OF success in business Is the
Jisrrrnmeut Of what will Ice well re
rriyrd bv the trade, and. while one may
know what his trade demands, II he
I,ck the executive power, he will gen
orally uil nm the attempt to do business.
With Good management success Is posi-
bile. even If mechanical genius and practl-
cal apprenticeshipa are wanting, and with
out it the best artisan is untitled Tor IN
dependent business operations. ItanN-
thing pertaining to a business Is to he
sighted it ought to be anything else put
the executive ability. The possession
of this Is imperative.

Reduce the Army.

4. sun.
There are nearly one hundred and
fifty Democrats, good, bad and inditier-
ent, in the present House of Represent
atives. Which of them will be the first
10 bring forward a bill reducing the
army to 10000 men?
This reduction should have been
made long ago. There are good and
sufficient reasons for making it now,
wholly aside from the danger to Repub-
lican institutions in maintaining an
oyergrown standing army in time OF
peace. The people have been paying
too much for their whistle, and
it Is bigger whistle than they have any
use for. So long as the taxes are where
they are, it is an outrage to take mil
lions Of dollars out of the peoples peck
cts, year after year, for the benefit OF
class of would-be aristOcr,Its in shoulder
straps that affect to look upon the plain
farmers, mechanics, and business men
whose money keeps those fine military
pOpiniays in bread and butter.
Now HAYES has furnished a fresh and
cogent reason OF this reduction by We
toing two bills, one after the other, de-
signed TO prevent the employment OF
the paid soldiers of the United States by
a political party to carry elections at
the point of the bayOnet when the bal
lot fails.
An army of 10000 men will be plenty
large enough to take care OF the Texas
frontier ana look after the Indians. 1t
will be too large, by 10000 men, If it is
to be used as amakeweight in party pol
itics.
What Democratic Congressman will
earn the applause of the country by in
Producing a bill to cut down the army to
10000 men?

; ,ecial CORRESPONDENCE Of the Register.
SPENCER, w. Va, May Il, 1879.
As | have seen no communication
i'm the REGISTER from ROane | propose
10 contribute a short one TO let your
many readers know that Roane is still
among the living. The dry weather has
been hard on farmers. The grass Is
very short, the wheat is short and
general complaint as to all kinds OF
crops is common with farmers.
There is a general interest manifest
with the masses in regard to Congress.
They expect Congress to do something
10 relieve the finances of the country
before they adjourn. | think the
Democrats will do this, but il they do
not they will fail to do their duty. 1t
they would leave off President-making
and pass law to tax the United States
bonds. make legal tender notes payable
for all dues, do away with the National
banks and provide a sinking fund to pay
the national debt they would be more
service to the country.
Who will he the next President? IS
question coming from all parts OF the
United States. As the REGISTER re-
uuestcd a general opinion on TIA subj ct
sometime ago | give my opinion, made
up after considerable investigation IN
this section of the country. The Demo
Gratis and large majority OF them are Tor
Tlden and Hendricks. We want the
men that beat before, and they
can beat again if the Democratic party
will give them the nomination.
Ii is no time to swap horses now.
Ii will be very dangerous at this
stage of the game. Ii we hope to win
the race we must take the same horses.
We elected them once and we can DO IT
again. The Republicans are IN favor OF
Grant almost to man, because they
think he is the fastest man they have.
Ii is with this view they 20 for him. 1t Is
forthe same reason we Democrats want
Tilden. We think he is the fastest
man at this time that we have. He was
elected before. The same men that
voted for him before will vote Tor HIM
again. Other fair minded men will vote
for him because he was swindled out OF
it before. Mex. to Tilden, q. ii. Pen.
dleton is the choice of the majority OF
the Democrats. Some few are for Thur
man. We don't like the way Thurman
PLAYED his cards when Uncle Bill Allen
ran for Governor OF Ohio.
J. n. Camden is our choice for Gov
ernor of West Virginia next time. !
am one Of those that believe in reward
inc a man for what ne does, and that is
one thing that is the matter with the
Democratic party. She has ignored
some Of her West Virginia party workers
and pure men.
The state Democrat, printed in Wheel
ing, has started off OF the wrong foot.
Ii it had tried to build itself up on
merit, and not tried to pull the REGIS
TER down, il would have got a good sup
port i'm Roane, but We think the REGIS
TER good enough for us Democrats out
here. H. =

The Meanest Man in the World.

OF all the mean characters that have
come under our observation the meanest
of all is the dyspeptic Cynic, to whom
grumbling has become second nature.
The weather is always too hot or too
dry; the meat is too rare or too thor
oughlv cooked, too fat or too lean-ln
short, he grumbles about every thing
from his coffee to Congress. lie is al
WAYS in want of something he has not,
aud forever disconnected with whatever
ne las. COntrariness is his distinguished
trait. If his wife desires TO spend the
evening with friend he insists upon
staving at home. He warns all his
bachelor friends to beware ofmatrimony.
His brain is so full of whims and crotch
cts, there is little room for reason or
sense. But the dyspeptic cynic reaches
the acme of disagTeeableneSs when a
diseased liver has supplemented the
grumbling of hypoChOndria. Then the
slightest unpleasant circumstance Is
magnitied into something momentOus
and terrible. The victim becomes dis
trustful of his best friends, and all sorts
of imaginary evils haunt the weakened
brain. This picture is not Overdrawn,
as thousandsof homes can attest-hOmes
in which domestic happiness and har-
mony have been wrecked by-nothing
more than a dyspeptic and chronic dis
ease of the liver. Given a sound stom-
ach and healthful liver and the results
will almost invariably be health and a
cheerful temper. DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purga-
tive Pellets are uniailing remedies for all
chronic diseases of the stomach and
liver Druggists mark them as the most
popular domestic remedies on their list.
