Of late much has been said about the
President and a long foreshadowed change
in the Cabinet Referring to the important
subject, Washington telegram Of the l8th
says:


/ The determination of the President to

luded to Of late. There Is authority to re-
! reat the same with full permission Of the
President e was suggested to him this
afternoon that the great popular verdict
indorsing his policy, would prevent the far
ther agitation Of impeachment The Pres
ident replied that he thought not, but appre-
hended that the Radical leaders would be-
come even more desperate and hesitate at
othing to accomplish their revolutionary
purposes.


In response to question of his course
should the Radicals attempt to depose him
before trial, he said Resist, sirl With
all the power which the Constitution fur
nishes for its own preservation. This was
said with great warmth and earnestness 1t
would be criminal, he said, not TO resist an
effort on the part Of Congress to usurp or de-
strOy the Executive Department, and he
thought it we'll for the country to know his
opinions and his purposes. In relation to
changes he said be would strengthen him
self for any emergency that might arise.
Circumstances, he said, nocessitated n
change, and this should be done before Con
gress met in session.


The President declared that he would not
consult nor be governed py party cliques, but
act on his own judgement and for what he
thought was the best interest Of the country.
1t was his intention to draw around him
men Of nerve, ability and patriotism.

be further said, had deemed 1t best to re-
turn to his command to meet the Indian
Peace Commissioners, as he had promised,
and, that done, he would return forthwith to
Washington.


The President evidently expects to avert
any trouble by being prepared to meet it.

In a recent number of the I01oa Home
stead, &C. A ~" of Dubuque, gives his
practice in the autumnaI preparation of
the ground for onions. Prepare Tin the fall
by manuring and plowing, working it till
the soil is well mixed and commingling with
the manure to the depth of eight or ten
inches Then roll or tramp the ground
hard top-dress it with ashes, and leave it till
the ensuing season. When the frost is out
in the spring, and the ground is sufficiently
dry to work, rake it over with an iron tooth
rake to the depth of three or four inches,
and put in the seed. This is all the spring
preparation required. The most success
full onion grower we ever saw, managed pret
ty much in the way here recommended, though
the fall preparation was omitted. The onion
beds were well manured and the ground
stirred to good depth 1t was then raked
and trampled down compaetly. An onion
planter, with two iron shovel teeth, set apal t
the width of the onion rows, and hand
led ike hoe, was drawn across the beds,
and the seeds dropped in the burrows and
covered an inch deep or thereabouts The
result was that the onions grew upon the top
of the ground-profuse in quantity and ez-
cellent in quality We should think the
Iowa plan, of the fall preparation of the
ground, an Improvement 1t is certainly

Eloquence consists in feeling a truth your

1t is not holding the breath until the face is
purple, and the eyes bloodshot; it is not
kissing through the teeth, ike the fzzle Of
squib, nor crouohing down, then bounccing
upward ike a wildcat springing on its prey;
nor ranting about from one side of the

already in debt over $4,000 and that the
people were finding great fault and found
it difficult to pay the already heavy tax,

Excitement OccasIOned by the Proposed


establishments of a Territorial Govern


memt for Virginia.


RICHMOND, Va, January 3.-There is some cx-
citement in this city on account of petition
presented 10 Congress IN favor of making and
reducing this State TO Territorial Government
The petition it seems, was started at Norfolk
and has received many signatures.


IL purports TO emanate from the loyal men
of VIRGINIA, and prays CONGRESS- to revoke the
power hitherto exercised by Governor Pier
pont, and that Judge Under wood be appointed
a Provisional Governor to reconstruct the
State Government on a loyal foundation This
is regarded as coming from the Underwood
clique. The loyal nen are indignant, regard
ing it as an attack upon Governor Pierpont by
people who are not Virgipians, and have little
il any interest in the welfare Of the State. The
Secessionists regard it with glee, because 1t is
an attack upon Pierpont, and they boast that
it cannot injure them, as the President and
political action they choose to take in regard
to the reconstruction of the country.
