We cannot understand the good the
Wing thought to accomplish in publishing
the horrible recital of the Nat Turner in
surrection in Southampton county, in 1881,
which we find in that paper of the 18th.
1t was bloody and brutal tragedy that no
one wants to remember and all should want
to forget. There is no history in it that
can possibly prove interesting or instruc-
tive, unless it be the portrayal of the man.
ly qualities of the old planters under great
provocation and trial-their reverence for
the majesty of the law and their abnor-
renee of the mob. We hope no reference
will be made in the press to the publica-
tion except to advise against it's republica-
ton and for its quiet and effectual suppress
sion. 1t can do no good, and might do
harm.

The Confederate Cabinet.

The recent appointment of Hon. r. M:
T. Hunter, of Virginia, to be collector or
customs at the port of Tappahannock, at
a small salary, calls attention to his con-
frerees in the cabinet of Jefferson Davis.
There were fourteen of them-Benjamin
Bragg, Breckenridge, Mallory, Memmin-
ger, Randolph, Seldom, Trenholm, Walker,
Davis. Reagan, Toombs, Watts and Hun
ter. Of these, only five now remain
Davis, Reagan, TOombs, Watts and Hun
ter. Of these five. only two-Reagan and
Toombs-were members of the original
cabinet. Hunter is not only an old man
now, but very much reduced in circum-
stances, as is shown by his willingness to
accept position which pays but about
5000 year. There are few of the MEM
bers of the Confederate Cabinet who are
wealthy. Bob Toombs. who lives near
Atlanta, is wealthy. Reagan is wort h
something, but not very much. Watts, OF
Alabama, and Davis, of North Carolina,
though pretty old mepS continue N the
practice of law at their respective homes.
Hunter. as indicated above, is poor. OF
those now dead. none except Benjamin
died wealthy. He made magnificent for
tune, as is well known, in the practice OF
law abroad. Of those still living, each re-
side now in the State from which he was
chosen for his Cabinet position-Reagan
in Texas, Hunter in Virginia, Watts in
Alabama, Davis in North Car DINA, and
Toombs in Georgia Only the civil
branches of the Confederate Government
are now represented, all the Secretaries of
War and Navy having passed away. Hun
ter and Toombs were Secretaries of State,
Davis and Watts Attorney Generals, and
Reagan Postmaster General. Reagan is
probably the most active, physically and
mentally, of any of those remaining. He
is strong and vigorous, though he was at
deaths door year ago, when an opera
tion by some skillful physician saved him.

am pleased to be able to speak favorably of
"a fertilizer manufactured by Mr.. Reeves att,
eOf this city.
After careful analysis l found it to contain
about the average percentage OF phosphorlc
acid and potash of the best high-grade fertlil-
.zers of our market and an amount OF ammonia
considerably higher. In this fertilizer, the
price falls several dollars below its commercial
value. This is a point greatly In its favor
This commercial value must be understood
TO be appreciated. 1t is a value of SO much per
pound placed upon each constituents take am
monia for instance: A committee of chemists
OF the various State Agricultural Experiment
Stations, which made these valuations, has
placed value of twenty cents per pound upon
ammonia. Now let us take this fertilizer; it
contains upwards of three per cent. of ammo
MIA, This would be over sixty pounds to the
ton, or value for ammonia alone of more than
twelve dollars per ton. The sum of the value
of the other constituents found in the same
way gives the commercial value.
This fertilizer is in an excellent condition for
drilling, owing to its low percentage of mois-
ture. FRANK w. IRAPHAGEN, I'm. u.

A well-known preacher makes the re-
