PLow DREP.-ln urging deep plo#-
ing, We are not advocating that it shall
be done with turning plows, except
where vegetable matter ,s to be COW
ored, and thon the plow should set just
deep enough to turn the grass or
weeds. All deep blowing should be
done with long, narrow plows, or sub.
soilers, which will stir the ground, no
matter how deep, but leave the fertile
aerated soil at the surface, where It
now is. In most Of our heavy soils,
to turn them over ten inches deep
with big Northern turn plow would
ruin them for ten years. When we
can grow clover, we may safely turn
it in deep enough to cover it. Sow it
again with wheat and clover, and
enough special manure to make the
second crop, and when this is turned
in, in its turn, the soil is filled with
vegetable matter to the depth of six
or eight inches. Deep plowing at the
North, whero heavy swards of grass
and clover are turned under, and abun.
dant stock of oil sorts gives plenty of
manure for surface dressing, can safe
ly be done, in way that would de-.
stroy, for the time, the cropping oa-
pacity of much of our Southern soil.

been received by a gentleman residing in Mo-

that their representatives in convention will

CAUSE AND EFFECT There is distress in
business circles; there S distress in the ship
building business; there is distress in the ag
ricullural districts; ten States that have been
desoIa.ed aud impoverished by war, have
been kept out Of their natural relations in
the Union? never was there so much poverty
and vice and wretchedness and crime in the
country as now. Since the 4lh Of March,
1861. tie Republican porty has had the
control of the Federal Government. 1t has
shaped It's legislation and disbursed its funds.
As effect follows cause inevitably, may we
not conclude that most all our business and
political ills are traceable TO the incumbency
of the Republican party? Is it not response
bic for all our troubles! 1t could, BY wise
legislation. remedy the evil. but it has failed
TO do so. Has it neither the disposition nor

Exlr BEN WADE.-The Hon. Ben. Wade has
lust received the most signal rebuke ever admins
istered TO a public man. The recent contest in
Ohio was peculiarly his own. His term expires
with the present Congress, and his reelection
was made an issue before the people. II the re
nublicans had have elected majority to the
Legislature no other man would have been
thought of as a candidate for the Senate. MI
Wade himself conducted the campaign and ap-
pealed directly to the people in behalf OF him
self and party. He started out with clear cap
ital of forty three thousand votes and the pres
tige OF belonging to the only party that was
loyal to the Union. The capital was wasted un
der Mr. Wade's eye. The forty-three thousane
has disappeared. What makes tbe'defeat mor'
mortifying is the fact that the Governor wa'
saved by a small majority, while the Legislature
in both branches is democratic. The people die
not saw they weTe tired of republcanism, bu
that they were tired of Ben. Wade. The Senate
announced war as imminent, and the peopl
branded the man as incompetent and unworthy
who would talk of war as a possible mode
settlement of political questions. In so doini
the people did well. We trust they will continue
the same kind of work whether their condemua
tion falls on republicans or democrats. The mar
who talks now of appealing to the sword IN oe
feuse of party issue is as much traitor ana en

4 RUNAwAy-IN A HoRS.-Some time since
the Rev. Professor Horn, of this place. published
the usual whereas" that his better half had left

sympathy was manifested for the Professor, who
had done something in the way OF preaching saliva

means wherewith 10 leave place that had become
so repugnant to his lacerated feelings, and only
served to remind him of JOYS that were past, and
home desolated. So be sold of his things and
took off himself. In the last number of the E}era-
tor Phebe replies to her eige lord, and makes ont
a very good case for herself and bad one for the
Professor. She says: "In June last was afflicted

this statement that Pbebe the abused party, and
that the Professors grief not as weighty as was
generally supposed. His advising her to 90 TO Ma

A negro sat on the curbstone bare, brood

kinkly his hair, his gizzard feet were expos
to the air, and exceedingly seedy his clothes.
And as he sat in the cutting blast, we had
to pity the cuss: he wishfully looked at each
person that passed and we heard him solilo-
quisc thus: "Oh why did Old Abe wild de
hatchet face, go get dis darkey free I was
happy at home wild de odder nigs, and ole

ceased, the big tears from his eyes rolled
down o or his checks very fast, and we left
him there on the curbstone BARE exposed
to the cutting blast. And we could but
