attracted the attention of the Confederate au-
thoritics and his destruction was resolved upon.
This was at length accomplished, and its hor-
rid details added TO the list Of atrocities which
almost unheard Of and unknown beyond the
neighborhood of their occurrence, are vet the
nightly theme Of legendary horror around the
great leg fires of those hardy mountaineers
In the desperate cause Of the Southern Con-
federacy crisis had arrived, and superhuman
efforts were put forth 10 supply victims for its
deeimated ranks. Every town and hamlet and
every crossroad was guarded to prevent the
escape Of its young men, and those who did not
possess designated number Of chatteIs or a
certain amount of wealth were ruthlessly
seized upon and hurried away TO the depots
whence the depleted ranks Of the Confederate
army were recruited. To neutralize the effects
OF these efforts among the people Of his neigh
borhood, Bryson was frequently dispatched and
his success IN capturing consrript officers and
their depots was remarked by Gen. Rosecrans
who extended every facility possible in the
work.

THE objection having been made to Mr..

that he has always been an active politician,
and therefore cannot be civil service re-
former, the Boston Herald replies:
The same objection was made, for the same
reason, to Daniel Manning when he was ap'
pointed Secretary Of the Treasury; but It lisa
fact, nevertheless, that his department ha,
been conducted more completely in accordance
with the principles of civil service reform than
any other part Of the government,
Just the reverse of that Is notoriously
true, The principles Of civil service re.
form have had very little tolerance in the
management OF the Treasury Department,

but for the business sense OF Treasurer
Jordan, On the other hand, there has been
a good deal Of respect for the civil service

And yet this name has not always been a
guarantee of success. Daniel Webster

prize for which he had long and ardently
striven. And then there was Daniel Pratt,

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

The Opinion OF It's Usefulness Held by
an Eminent Agricultural Writer In
England.
The following letter from Mr.. William
f. Bear, late editor of the Mark Lane E.e-
press, the leading agricultural journal Of
Great Britain, and regular contributor on
agricultural and other economic questions
to the leading English reviews, shows the
estimation In which the statistical and
other work OF the department of agricul-
ture Is held by one Of the most competent
judges OF the value Of such work, and one
whose judgment has also the merit OF strict
impartiality:
To THE EDITOR OF THE CRCINHATI PRICE
CURRENT No doubt 1t is right To criticse any
shortcomings In the crop reports Of your DE-.
partment OF agriculture, but the extract which
you quote from contemporary In your issue
of July 10 seems TO an impartial onlooker very
unfair. As an English agricultural journalist
who has carefully looked out for all reports on
American crops during many years past, /
must ask you to allow me 10 bear testimony
to the value OF the information given by the
statistioian OF the department. | have always
regarded his reports as perfectly impartial
while looking with suspicion on nearly ali
other reports, us possibly emanating from in.
terested speculators. II has always been a
marvel 10 me, too that your agricultural de-
partmont should do as much work US IL does
on such a small sum of money as II receives
from your government. Here we should be
only too glad to have a department half as
efficient; but ours is an agricultural depart
ment only In name-a mere makeshll AT the
present date we do not know the acreage of the
growing wheat ersp, as we have nothing but
annual reports from our department. In the
monthly and other reports Ofyour department
however you get a large amount Of informa.
tlon IIh on gIsSt variety Of topics in connection
never obtain. In fact, whatever lis shortcom.
ings may be, your agricultural department, as
q source OF seasonable and useful Information,
publishes monthly reports or gives freight
rates, wages, and other financial details at re.
quent intervals. Most OF the information
about American agriculture which the peOple
Of this country obtain is derived from the pub.
licatlons of your department of agriculture,
and l. for one, have found those publications
OF great value, am, sir, yours faithfully

FEW days ago the Washington Critic
incidentally remarked that sit would be
just Cleveland's luck to have war with
Mexico. 1t would re.elect him beyond the
possibility Of peradventure." To this the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN replied that "forty
years ago an unjust war against Mexico,
carried on under a Democratic admlnistra-
ton, elected Wing candidate to the presI-
dency." The Manchester Union, taking up
the subject where the NATIONAL REPUBLI-
CAN left 1t, says
Well VINO was that successful Whig candl-
date but Gen. Taylor, the commander of the
American army that humbled MexicoH In the
Philadelphia convention of June7, lsIS, Gen.
Taylor the hero OF the decisive battle of
Buena Vista, led ali the candidates from the
first ballot his military popularity overriding
the fame of the splendid statosmaushp of
Clay and Webster. Gen. Scott was also a
candidate. and In the fourth and final ballot
stood next to Taylor. The ballot which nom
mated was as follows: Taylor. III; Scott, 63:
Clay, SO; Webster, II. As Clay and Webster
started in with Sc and 50 votes, respectively, It
is plain to see that the bulk of their supporters
were attracted by the glamour of military
success All the logic of the events here re-
ferred to illustrate the Ill success Of the oppo-
nents of this unjust war" II should be ad.
ded that Whgs who elected Taylor went be-
fore the country without any national plat.
form.
ltis undeniably true that military prestige
is tremendous force In politics. The
victory won by jackson at New Orleans,
in battle fought after treaty OF peace
had been signed and was on its slow way
to this country, gave the Democratic party
a new lease of power and changed the
country's history in almost all respects.
We have seen other and more recent illus
trations of the same general rule. The mill
tary hero, even in an unjust war, reaps far
greater honors than can be gathered by
more useful labors by greater men in the
paths of peace. But all this furnishes no
good reason why this great republic should
desire, on any paltry pretext, to pick
quarrel with weak neighbor. And we
have no doubt there is enough OF honesty
and the spirit OF fair dealing In this country
to prevent such an occurrence. Let us
have peace until honor compels us to fight.
Even big dog--a st, Bernard or mastiiT-
