The Southern Planter for May is on
our table. 1t contains great variety
of articles.
Colonel KNIGHT, the editor Of the
Planter, gives his opinion of the letter
of Mr.. JONATHAN PEARCE on the
subject of wiregrass. We called upon
him for it because we regarded him as
an expert; and so we reproduce his
reply. He says:
WIREGRAss.-We have transferred
to our present issue an article taken
from the columns Of our neighbor, the
Dispatch, and note the call on us to ex-
press our opinion about wiregrass. We
differ with the writer Of the article re-
ferred to in many of his views as to the
value of this grass; and first, as to its
being the genuine Bermuda Of the
South.
As We understand it, what is known
as Bermuda grass came originally from
the semi-tropical part of British India
to the island Of Bermuda, and from
thence to the southern portion Of the
United States. This grass propagates
itself readily from seeds, and is known
botanically as Cynodon Dactylon, from
the finger-likc appearance of its head.
1t will not flourish in climate farther
north than South Carolina or middle
Georgia but that specie Of the same
family of grasses, known in Virginia
as ,cire9rasS, is AgnOstis Gamma,
or dog-bent. Unlike the genuine
Bermuda, it does not propagate
from seeds as readily as from
its branches, which trail upon the
ground and at every joint send down
roots. These branches will extend
many feet from the parent root, aud are
usually about the size Of No. wire,
and almost as hard. They lie too near
to the ground to be nipped by the graz
ing of stock, and if they should be, their
hardness and wire-like rightly render
them unpalatable and unnutritious.
The blades Of this grass probably fur
nish as good grazing as any other grass,
but they are Of very brief existence.
They parch up with the first hot suns
of the summer and perish with the first
frosts Of autumn. Its grazing value,
therefore, is nothing in comparison with
other perennial grasses, such as green
sward, white and red clover, orchard
grass, blue grass, etc.
If we do not mistake the meaning of
the correspondent Of the Dispatch, his
idea is that this grass will flourish on
poor land, and is, therefore, the great
conseryator Of the lands and agriculture
Of our State. We know too much of
wiregrass, having fought it for years
and observed it in all its conditions, To
accept this idea as truth. If we were
called on say what grass had the
greatest repugnance TO poor land
we would say it was wiregrass. And
again, il he thinks that i'm
migration to Virginia depends or
wiregrass, We are as wide apart as the
poles. We think we can rejoice in tht
fact that much Of the soil of our noble
old State can produce as much of thu
hay and grazing grasses as any othei
part Of America, and where soils hay,
been impoverished they will promptly
yield 10 kind and intelligent treatmen
and again give forth their fruits.

The New York Tribune says that
Auditor MARyE's action is in line with
Attorney General GARLANp's State
rights statement to Mr.. EvARrs in
this same case : s. You may get your
Judgment, but you cannot seize Virgil
MAS property and sell 1t at public auc-
ton to pay your debt"
Does the Tribune deny the truth Of
Mr.. GARLAND's averment? Can the
court decide that the suit is not against
the State and then sell the States pro-
perty to satisfy its Judgment Hardly,

Before the Legislature to be elected

not do it this year.

According to the Alexandria Gazet

According TO The AIeXandria Gdzeffe,
Attorney-General GARLAND has said
he will regard the unanimous endorse

substantial bar to all other applicants
for the place, except the one endorsed.
This, says the Gazette, looks very much
as il the Virginia applicants for Federal
positions who did not receive the unani-

delegation from their State might as
well be making "other arrangements y
