Col. VIM. H. Roberts, of New Orleans,
was to-day selected by the Secretary OF
War to superintend the revision and
Qualifications OF the army regulations nm
der the pension army bill just approved.
This appointment has no political signi-
fication, being purely military. Col.
Roberts was selected on the joint recon-
mendation OF Generals Sherman and
Johnston, attention having been drawn
to his qualifications by the work on na-
tional militia, just completed by him.
This is the first selection of an ex-Con-
federate for purely military duty in
connection with the regular army since
the war. IT causes much comment here.
The position, while it lasts, carries with
it the pay and relative rank of lieutenant
colonel ON the staff.

This is the way the Democrats of

Some of the friends of Gen. West
are now complaining that he is treat
ed with discourtesy. Has he not
said that he will neither give nor ac-
cept quarter, and has he notimpugn-
ed the motives of tho Democratic
party as unduly partisan, and its
members in Mississippi as ready to
sacrifice the interests Of the people
for party's sake? What motive have
they? What motive has he? Is it
not remarkable that his old friends
should all have become bad SO sud

The corn crop we fear has been some
what injured by the dry weather. But
refreshing rains have come this week,
and all kinds of vegetation greatly reviv-
ed, and the face of the planter wearing Il
smile that is charming to behold.
It is our private opinion, however,
based upon large experience in farming,
and careful observation of the crop, chat
the corn Of our county has suffered more
from want of work at the proper time
and sufficient in amount and for want of
thinning, than from dry weather. We
will never make large crops of corn again,
unless we fertilize more, plow deeper,
hill higher, hoe better and thin properly.
The corn is generally sacrificed for the
cotton; aud il is too sensitive a plant to
stand it. Corn is exacting, and demands
attention in the right way, and at the
right time, to make any thing like a
large yield. We abuse the weather too
much for our short corn crops. -Macon

amend by fixing the date at 8 p. IN. TO-

Mr. Window spoke Oh the resolution
explaining his action yesterday. Mr..

all the legitimate powers conferred on
them by the rules OF the Senate in order
to induce the majority to make the neces-
sary appropriation for United States

How would the name of our talent
ed and handsome fellow citizen, DR..
j. M. GREENE, look on the Legislative
ticket of the Democratic party in Old
Monroe? He is as true as steel, and
as pure patriot and as honest a man
as our county or State, or any other
county OF State, on this cor any other
planet" can boast. We know that he
has no political aspirations, but what
of that ? there was time not many
years ago, when the people claimed
right to make their own selections
and to put the harness on whosoever
pleased them, regardless of their in
clinLtion OF disinclination to wear it.
1t would perhaps interfere with his
practice, but it would not interfere
with the Legitimate "bread-getting"
of any man upon whom its duties and
responsibilities devolved, and there is
no more reason for releasin ghim from
the inconveniences incident to public
life than any other laborer in the
vineyard, and many more reasons
why we should send him down TO
Jackson than can be urged in behalf
of most of those who are ready to
serve the Commonwealth.
The duties of the station will not
be likely to call him away from home
for more than sixty days, III a'bieu-
nial session and as the Quarantine
and Sanitary laws of the State are
sadly out of joint, or rather, jointless,

resent us in the House that will as
semble next January.

Mr.. WINDOW, of Minnesota, in
formed the Senate, yesterday, that
he "gloried" in his agency in stirring
up the negro "exodus" at the South.
He isn't a large sort of person, and
his appetite for "glory" is naturally
satisfied with small things. The
exodus has 50 far amounted to moth
ing more than the transfer of few
hundred negroes from aregion where
they had few advantages to one
where they will be a nuisance to
Others and not much of comfort to
themselves. The curious thing about
Mr.. WINDOWS missionary efforts is
that, while advising the blacks to
leave the land of the "oppressor"
and flee to the north, he has care
fully avoided inviting them to Min>

which has enabled them to amass i'm

The price of quinine has for many
years been enormous, and the prices
have always been regulated by the
Philadelphia firm alluded to, owing
to the privileges granted it by Con-
gress, and in thousands of cases the.

resort to other, and perhaps inferior

costly to be purchased by them. 1t

to approve the measure, to make it a

though the members of the party in this
county are probably not less than seven
eighths farmers, yet representative farm.
er could not be nominated or even allow.
ed chance for nomination before the
convention because the adroit politicians
were managing their own interests and
not acting for the people. They knew
that many members that came to the con-
vention were desirous of being represent
ed by an actual farmer on the ticket and
would present a name for candidate for
senator, but that, of course, would inter
fere with the arranged plans of the
managers, and must be thwarted by those
who knew how to pull the wires. So the
farmers who had come many miles, some
of them, to take part in the convention,
had no voice at all in selecting candidates
for senators as they were all nominated
by trick of exclamation. The only rea-
son assigned for this outrage was that it
was the custom to give senators two
terms. This party is too young to have
customs of its own, and many of the del
egates were unable to understand that
they owed allegiance to the customs of
old parties, the usage of which they de-
spised.-11atne Dtrio0 Rural
