The break in the Democratic ranks
in the 9th Congressional district has
not been and is not likely to be re.
paired. II seems to be due ga much
to the political record Of Mr.. NOBLE,
a. TO local interests. That gentleman n ,
while in Congress, undertook to find
as neutral ground" between loyalty
and rebellion, not wishing to identify
himself fully with either side
Hence, he failed to gain the promi.
nence in aid Of treason to which
VALLANDIGHAM, PENDELToN and
others attained. Whether this he's
itation at "going the whole hog" was
due to any spesial sympathy with
the Union side or to a wholesome
fear Of the futare which might be in
store for the men openly committed
to rebellion, we are unable to say
Suffice it TO know, that even Dem
ooratio politician could reasonably
have been expected to do TO encour
ago the rebels. He did not go al
far as "the martyr" for the reason
that he had more sense. Martyrdou
was not his ambition. As citizen
this was sensible; but as an aspirani

1t is supposed by many, and perhaps by
most people, that coal ashes are good for
nothing as manure; but we entertain diff
ferent opinion. In fact we know from act ual
experience that they are valuable as a mulch
about gooseberry bushes, and if good there,
we cannot see why they may not be valuable
in other places. No doubt they may be i'm
proved in various ways as fertilizers. The
Utica Herald says they can be improved by
being mixed with lime. Cover up one bushel
of lime in its hottest state in every cart load
of ashes, and after it has stood ten or twelve
hours the lime will be entirely Stacked The
whole is then to well mixed together and
turned over two or three times. when the Gin
ders, or half burned pieces of coal, which
would otherwise be of no use, will be reduced
to as fine a powder as the lime ITSELF But
in order to obtain such result, the coal ashes
should be kept perfectly dry. Thus prepared
they are said to improve swampy soil very
materially and in very short time.


Incorporated with night soil, they rabsorb
its effluvia, but to be thus used efectually
they must be dry and fresh, not those which
have been exposed to the weather and be-
come saturated with rains. The farmers in
the vicinity of this city would do we'll to col
lect coal ashes and try the experiment 1t is
painful to see how much valuable manure
runs to waste in this city every year. 1t
seems to us much OF it might be saved by our
farmers and at an expense which would fall
much short of its real value. Farmers. your
lands need manure, and why not attempt to
save some of that large mass that finds its
way to the docks every year?

Ifpeople will drink something besides pure
water which vas created to quench the
thirst OF both man and beast, perhaps it may
be interesting to know how to keep cider in a
puie state. A writer in the North Western
Farmer gives some information upon this
subject. He is quite positive man and says !:
Il speak what l know therefore we pre-
sumo his remarks are entitled to credit. He
says: ''Cider, if taken when first made and
brought to boiling point and canned pre-
cisely as fruit is canned, will keep from year
to year, without any change of taste. Canned
up in this way in the fall, it NAV be kept a
half dozen years or longer, as good as when
first made. 1t is better that the cider be set
tied aud poured off from the dregs, and when
brought to boiling heat the scum that
gathers on the surface taken off; and the only
precsution necessary to the preservation Of
the cider is the sealing it up air tight when
boiling hot"


No doubt, apple juice treated as above di-
rected will remain about the same as when it
comes from the press; but we very much
question whether old topers and hard cider
drinkers would esteem it the right kind OF
beverage for them; such are seldom seen
about cider mills sucking the juice Of the ap-
pie through straws as children are often seen
doing. No, they want the juice exposed to
the air awhile so that alcohol shall be mixed
with it, and then it produces that kind of
"fuddle" they like so well. Preserved accor-
ding to the above directions, it would be a
very insipid drink for them, but we think it
would be a more wholesome beverage for
them than it is after fermentation takes place
We approve the mode of preserving cider
recommended by this writer, and hope our
readers will try the experiment. 1t would
make very pleasant and wholesome drink.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT is insisted upon by
those who advocate it because of its healthy
moral effect. We have already mentioned the
fine illustration of this moral effect which is
afforded by the immediate sequence of the
Hampton murder upon the execution of Mill
in New Hampshire. Another equally strik-
ing illustration is the fact that the public exc
cutioner of Madrid,-a man surely who has
derived all possible benefit from this great
moral tonic-has murdered his mistress!

On last Tuesday as Capt. Stephen Wheeler, of Searey, and Mir. Peter Hicks, of West Point, were travelling in buggy on the road from West Point to Negro Hill they were attack ed from the bushes, some four miles from the former place, by two men on horseback, and made to get out of the buggy and ordered to give up their arms, Capt. Wheeler only having a pistol. They then took from Captain Wheeler two watches and some fifteen or twenty dollars, all the money he had in his pocket. After this, one took Hicks and carried him to the bushes in one direction while the other carried Wheeler to the opposite. As soon as Wheeler reached the bushes he dashed away from his man, receiving pistoi-shot wound in his arm. As soon as Wheeler made the attempt at escape the other robber left Hicks to himself and the two pursued after Wheeler, but did not succeed in over taking him, as he made good his escape and reached this place the next day. Hicks made his way back home.

 This is about all we have been able 10 find out about the matter. We have heard various rumors about who the parties were that committed the out rage, but there is too much difference In the stories to place any confidence ill any of them. It is supposed the men thought Capt. Wheeler had a large amount of revenue funds about his person, and was on his way to pay it over. If he had we are glad to know they did not get it. We do not like to hear of such outrages as these, and think if the proper means are used the guilty ones can be oyertaken and brought to justice, as 1t was done in open daylight. If the proper men can he arrested, Hicks and Wheeler can certainly identify them

We chccsfuHy republish and indorse the following from our contemporary, the Appeal, of the 26th ult.:

 Having occasion, a few days ago, to refer to the books of the Assessor, we were surprised to learn that the sales for the months of May and June were ten thousand dollars more than those of any other house in their line in the city of Memphis, either wholesale or retail, and double that of some of our principal houses. We say we were astonished, for we had never dreamed the unpretentious looking establish ment on the corner of Main and Jefier- son streets was the emporium of the dry goods trade of Memphis, and this feeling of astonishment caused us to desire to pay them visit and examine into the causes of their great success.

 Taking advantage of leisure hour on Friday afternoon, we strolled in, and introduced ourself to Mr. B. Low enstein, and were by him. shown over the establishment, visiting and exam ming in turn each department. We found them all complete, and each one presided over by separate corps of employees, and kept as neat as refined lady keeps her parlors. To go into q detailed description of them, would occupy more time and space than we can conveniently spare to-day, besides requiring more knowledge than we possess of the minutia of the immense paraphernalia of goods of all sorts and descriptions that are necessary for the personal adornment of our household goddesses. Indeed, we never before had any idea of what young women were made of, always having taken it for granted that the old nursery rhyme was true, and they were the embodi- ment simply of sugar and spice, and all that's nice," and that their rig was simply the coloring of the sugar plum. Alas how deep is the ignorance of old bachelorsl

 The cloak and silk room, however, was something that we could appreci- ate, and we cannot pass it by in silence. The array of beautiful fabrics there dis played is study for an artist, and all so carefully and tastily arranged that each article shows to the best advan- tagc. So complete is the stock of Messrs. Lowepstein, that it is a proverb among the ladies, when they have not an article in the dry goods line, it is no use to look for it anywhere else.

 The corps of employees number, even in these dull times, over twenty, and each seems to vie with the others in politeness and attention. Messrs. Low enstein are evidently determined to have no rival in the city, and our other merchants might well take lesson from these enterprising men. They must wake up, or other cities that are stretching out their hands for it, will grasp the trade of our city, and bear it away irrevocably.

EGy We wish to call the attention of farmers and planters again to the ne- cessity of sowing greater quantity of wheat this fall than heretofore. If they would become independent of the Northwest and escape the present high prices of breadstufs, they must raise wheat here at home. They cannot ex- cuse themselves on the score of not having good flouring mills. for there are several already in this county, which, run to their full capacity would supply six times the amount of popula- ton of Prairie county; and we suppose the other counties around are not very far behind us. Make arrangements immediately, so that the wheat can be put in the ground early in the fall, as the best farmers we have inform us that wheat, to do well, should never be sowed later than the month of October in this climate. Sow wheat, raise corn and attend to your stock and hogs, and hard times will be spoken of no more, and bachelors will come to terms, while calico will be in greater demand than rations. lis consummation de- voutly to be wished"

AUSTIN FIGURING Messrs. Jackson X Co.,. the proprietors of these first class mills, have our thanks for Il sack of four-twenty- y-five pounds. It was an excellent article, which is due to a great extent to the experience of William Rudisill, their miller. They informed Us that they can and do make to the bushel of good wheat thirty five pounds of good flour. This is hard to beat. MT. Rudisil is a first class mil Ter in every sense of the word man of energy and perseverance, and we uie satisfied he will never be troubled about situation, as all those who have tried him will vouch for his ability as a miller

 For enterprise and liberality the merchants of Des Arc are not behind those of any other town in the State. They are not always hatching visiona- ry schemes, but when any practical work is presented, such as building bridges, making roads, opening com- munication with other points, etc., they step forward and give their mon- ey freely. They have made a contract with the owners of the ferry at Des Arc to cross and recross the people of Woodruff and Monroe counties, and all others coming to Des Arc With wa gons and other vehicles loaded with produce, free of charge. This contract embraces six months, beginning with the 1st of August and ending the lst of February next. This will save large amount to the people of that section who have to come to Des Arc to do their trading, as ferriage was consid- erable item to them before. We hope to see the people turn this way to sell their cotton and buy their supplies, as Des Arc has the advantage of being the best cotton market in the State, while low freights and single ship ments places goods in tho hands of our merchants at such prices as to enable them to successfully compete with all others. Our merchants are making preparations to do lively business the coming season, and farmers and plant CTS having cotton to sell or goods to buy would consult their best interests by giving Des Arc q trial this fall.

1t shall not seek in vain. Here is It's prob

"This question Of intermarriage of Afri
cans with persons of the White European
races is most interesting, and becoming every
day, by reason of Republican legislation, Of
fearful practical Importance. The funda
mental idea of the Republican party, in its
treatment of the Southern States, is the CO.
equality of the White and Black races
Ought such CO equals be permitted to inter
marry. We shall be glad to hear from the
Tribune on the moral, social, chronological.
political, legal, and practical relations of
this subject Maj Gen. Pope desires infor-
nation from head center of his party -


ARswer The Apostle Paul, being once
pressed to decide whether certain parties
should or should not marry, reported that, il
they were content to remain single, he ad-
vised them TO do SO, but CONSIDERABLY addea
that g 1t is better to marry than to burn"
Our answered to the World will be found
imbued with the spirit of the great Apostle.


We can imagine no circumstances under
which it would seem to US fit and wise that
White and Black person should be joined
in the holy state of matrimony; and yet we
claim no right to judge for others in the
premises, and con suppose no case IN which
the State would be justified in interfering to
prevent such a marriage any more than to
command it. If Democracy has concocted
or borrowed an . interference theory" which
justiies such meddling, it is worse theory
than even ace had supposed. All do know
that there are several hundred thousand
mulattoes in this country; and we presume
no one has any serious doubt that the fathers
of at least nine tenths of them are White
Democrats And we hold that those Demo-
Gratis, if they acill have yellow children.
might better than otherwise treat the mothers
respectively as wives, after the laudable
pattern Of that eminent Democrat, Vice
President Richard NJ. johnson. Everybody
knew what were the colors of his wife and
children; yet they didn't cost him the sup
port of single White Democrat-New York
and Connecticut giving him their whole

Democratic aversion to color in wedlock IS
neither general nor sincere. Will the World
