Washington October 21) Correspondence of the


Boston Post


Every device has been resorted to by the
Radical partizans to discredit the statement
of your correspondent that President y John
son had declared his purpose to resist any
attempt to depose him before trial and
conviction by all the means which the Con-
stitution affords for its own protection and
preservation. One writer says the intimate
friends uf the President assert hat he de-
nies the correctness of the language at
tributed to him by his Boston organ but
nv dispatch was not obtained from the IN
innate friends, but from President Johnson
himself, who also declared, at the same
time, that it would be criminal IN him to
entertain different purpose. The Presl-
dent said further that it was well the people
should know his views and understand his
purposes and your correspondent mas no
fear that Mr.. johnson will retract the
statement, however unpalatable it may be
to those engaged in the revolutionary plot
against the Executive Department OF the
Government. But this declaration OF Presl-
dent johnson of a purpose to protect ana
defend the Constitution is not new. In MS
letter to General Grant, dated as late as
August 10, 1867, he says by his oath the
Executive is bound, to the best OF his
ability, to preserve, protect and de1end the
Constitution and 1t IS his duty, without
regard to the consequences to himself, to
hold sacred and to enforce any and all of
its provisions. Any other course would
lead to the destruction of the republic, for
the Constitution once abolished there
would be no Congress for the exercise of
legislative powers, no Executive to see that
the laws are faithfully executed, and no
Judiciary to afford to the citizen protection
for life, limb and property.

We arc highly pleased to learn that a
number Of our citizens who have been en-
pioyInE negroes in various capacities, have
resolutely determined to retain none Of
them who vote the Hunnicutt ticket in this
election. Some of these negroes voted that
ticket yesterday, and last night we're
promptly informed that their services were
not wanted any longer. This is perfectly
proper, and if il had been universally done
from the beginning OF the negro political
troubles, this city would not have been
dL, ,5raced by the mobs of howling negroes
who have made the nights hideous. If
they We're not fed by the respectable white
people OF shis city they would soon find
out the difference between their real friends
and the Radical wretches who are using
these poor negroes for their own purposes

We remember at the Wilderness gallant Mis-

burying him, there came letter from her h'

the dead-letter; he took it and laid it upon the

Comes the letter from mother?


Are sisters longings there?
Or the fondness of another,

"Bury it upon his bosom,

Bury the dead with the letter unread,


There to remain,
Till the soldier awakes from his slumber,
To join in the battle again.
All but never more to battle


He will march by beat of drum;
Nevermore when the fight is over


Sigh for gentle peace to come;
NevermOre to roll-call answer;


Nevermore will pace his round,
Keeping watch DER sleeping comrades
Strewn upon the chilly ground;
Nevermore the light words utter


While his heart with sadness aches;
Bury it upon his bosom,


He will see it when he wakes,
Bury it deep with the soldier to sleep;


There let it lie,
While the green grass grows DER the sleeper,
And the world goes hurryinS by.

A preacher who lives in n western
State, and whose cupidity appears to
have got the better of his Judgment,
writes the following account of the way
in which he was swindled by some
sharpers having an office in New York.
No doubt there are hundreds of similar
cases, and we print this as a warning to
persons who may be tempted in like
manner. He says that last summer
New York firm sent out an advertise
ment of gift enterprise that appeared
on its face so just and honorable an un-
dertaking that he was induced to send
them ten dollars for eleven tick.
cts. The tickets were received and
soon after the men sent him elSht
more, requesting him TO distribute them.
His family took five, and three OF his
neiChbors took the others. They next
sent sixteen more tickets, which he re-
turned. In short time the sixteen tick
cts were sent back by the lottery-men,
with the offer that If the minister
would pay for them, and they did not
draw a valuable prize, they wOnld make
him handsome present. The bait took,
and ten dollars were paid for them


Another sixteen tickets were finally
sent to this greenhsrn, who was told
that they were the last, as the million
and a half tickets had been sold. If
ten dollars were sent to the lottery-men
they guaranteed the minister prize
worth two hundred dollars at the grand
drawing, which was to take place on the
oath of October. The money was sent
and the various sums were acknowledge


ed. Early in November the minister
received q letter sayiLg that one of the
tickets had drawn n prize worth two
hundred dollars, but that they levied
five per cent. on the prizes, and that ten
dollars more must be sent on before the
prize would be forwarded. This ten
dollars was also sent, bat never ac-
knowledged, and the minister heard
nothing more from his friends. He now
expresses desire to visit New York and
prosecute them, bnt his journey would
move fruitless. He has learned lesson
which may be worth the money it cost
him. At all events, it ought to prove a
warning to others. If any one offers a
gold watch worth one hundred dollars
for two or ten dollars, h. is cheat, and
ought to be avoided as much as a pick

The extreme drouth that we have
just passed through, compelled Farmers
TO commence feeding stock month or
two earlier than common, and for this
reason we counsel husbandmen to be
prudent in the use of their fodder. A
very heavy crop of grass was cut In
most parts of the country the past sea-
son, yet not any more was secured than
win be requiredto winter the horses,
cattle and sheep now on hand, unless
economy is exercised.


Very many farmers feed stock accord
ing to the amount of hay on hand.
When abundant, it is lavishly thrown
out, and at least one-third destroyed.
Corn stalks are dragged out and strewn
upon the ground, and only part Is
saved l. Dti 4A-s g. - -.


Racks should be prepared beneath
sheds for sheep, and stalls arranged for
horses and cattle. Sst 81 O't '|'


Some farmers believe they cannot al
ford the expense of building, and that
it is economy to get along without shell
ter or racks; bat no more erronesns idea
could enter the head ofman, fsr the loss
of hay while feeding, and the extra
amount required to sustain life when
exposed to the storms, to say nothing
about the loss of flesh, would amount to
moro in a siugle winter than the ex-
pense required to build comfortable
quarters. a


There is a satisfaction, too, ia know
ing that as you sit beside your genial
hearth-stones on q cold winter night,
and listen as the polling storm dashes
against the window panes, that the
dumb brutes that have been placed in
your hands for protection are cared for,
and enjoying the comforts you have be
slowed.


1t is a we'll known fact that overfeed-
ing is no advantage whatever, but a
loss. A horse hitched to stack of hay
will grow poor, and no creature can he
fatted with rack stuffed fnli of hay
constantly before him. All animals
should have enough to eat, but not any
more should be given them than they
will eat up clean. NomOre stock should
be- kept than can be kept well, for they
will decline in value if not kept in
thriving condition. 1t is better to sell
a portion and procure feed for the rest,
than to starve them all.


Sheep that have been poorly kept
during winter, will not yield as many
pounds of wool as those kept well, and
the wool will be of inferisr quality.
Cows coming through poor in the spring,
will not give the quantity of milk the
summer following that those in good
condition will. Every observing farmer
knows these are facts.


Again we say, protect your domestic
animals from the rigid winter storms;
teed plentifully but economically, and
the advantage gained in clear profit
will doubly pay for all trouble and ex-
penSc.

How To DISPOSE OF PoTAToEs SHOW
ING RoT.-A correspondent of an Irish
newspaper claims to have heard of a
plan to stop the decay of diseased pota-
roes. He writes as follows: q have
just heard of plan for preserving par
tally diseased potatoes from further de-
cay, for pig feeding. AS this is year
in which the disease is prevalent, very
likely such q plan will be universally
prevalent. When the diseased potatoes
are sorted, they should be taken and
boiled, after which they are TO be allow
ed to dry by their own heat, and then
put into barrels, and pressed down in o
pulp, covered with moistened yellow
clay. Then cover the barrel. and allow
it to stand by until required for use: A
friend of mine by so doing kept them
for nine months, in fact until all he had
were nsed out; they being in as good a
state at the end of tRat period as when

One would hardly think it possible for
females to ever become habitual to the


great excess and vices peculiar to man.
No one, unacquainted with the facts,
aud having seen the virtue &excellence of
the female character, would believe it.
Indeed they regard the stories which are
told of the excesSes of aristocratic wo-
men in Europe is the production Of an
unhealthy and scandalous imagination.
So great is this feeling of respect for wo-
men in this country, so strong the conf
dence in her moral and domestic virtues
that only little while ago the Round
Table set the lordsaof creation III every
direction by the ears, by stating that
the use of Intoxicating liquors had be-
come prevalent among fashionable wo-
men of New York The statement has
been written and preached, and edited
against as vile. slander, concocted by
the imagination of person whose wits
were sadly demoralized. Yet is it all q
slander? Are there not female victims
of intemperance? We fear there are
more than the world has any knowled of
and believe it to be good that the world
is not made the medium of this knowl-
edge 1t is the love which men have for
their mothers, wives and sisters which
protects the female from the with
ering, blighting influences of depraved
and morbid society, and it is well that it
is SO. 's


The gambling, drinking and fashion
able vices Of the woman OF the old world
having undoubtedly been more generally
practiced in this country since the people
have had opportunities of becoming sud-
denly rich, and it is now said that at
Saratoga, and other places of fashionable
resort, female gamblers have become
quite common. The most fashionable
ladies play against each other, and enter
into games of hazard with fierce excite
ment. Cards are their weakness, and
they have lately adopted poker as their
favorite. They bet their jewelry and ar
ticles of dress when they have no money
and have been known to pawn their
watches, diamonds and bracelets to OBJ
tain means to gain their losses. Some of
the private rooms of the hotels have
been the scenes of such determined and
desperate encounters between woman as
no one saw them under the cIrcumstan-
ces would deem possible. They have
sat all night at the table, pale and hag-
gard with excitement, unsexed and de-
formed by the passions of avarice, and


have started from each other with af-
fright when the garnish of daylight re-
vealed the ghastliness of their unnatural
occupation. .a..- ea

ments and we hope that they are great
ly exaggerated The women who in
dulge in this excess must be the wives
of gamblers, and such as have been sud
denly made what is known as fashions
able by gambling speculation. No true
woman, with husband or friends who oc-
cupy reputable position in society, can
bring herself to such level. As we said
before, when such weakness or passion
prevails with women whom the world
homo S, they are protected so that the
world knows but little ofit; and those
who practice these vices in public can
not be regarded as the respected women
of the country. .''.' % -s1--i -

One April day when playful winds


Beneath cheerful sky were free,
With bounding pulseI rambled forth


And joined their freedom on the lea.
So soft the air, so sweet the sky


With calm clouds floating 'thwart the blue,
That at this hour, tho years are gone


Their memory wakes fresh and new.
No book, nor talking mate miss'd,


AL nature utter'd fuller speech;
For her fond friends, the humblest bud


Hath kind voice to cheer or teach.
So brightly pass d some careless hours,


With light and fow'rs and fancy blest,
When with the seasons frequent fate,


Dark storm-clouds muster'd from the west.
The mild winds checked their idle glee,


The birds gay music sank In gloom;
The yery flowers with timid care


Bent down their bold and happy bloom.
And I, in sympathetic pain,


From the change landscape turned away
And with weak and falling faith


Look'd for no farther light that day.
So it's with Life-an April day


So my fair friend, twill prove to thee;
And the sure sequel of its light


Some chilling storm and shade will be.
But in light, which natures wealth


OF generous blessing cannot give
The eternal sunshine God will shed


Freely on them who Christ receive.
Earth may the ante-chamber prove


With Heav'ns o'erfowing lustre bright,
Till welcom'd to the inner room


Weknow forever storms nor night.

LYING IN BED.-It is often question amongst
people who are acquainted with the anatomy and
physiology of man, whether lying with the head
exalted OF level with the body is most wholesome.


Most, consulting their own ease on this point, ar
que in favor of that which they prefer. Now, al
though many delight in bolstering up their head
at night, and sleep soundy without injury, yet we
declare it to be dangerous habit The vessels
through which the blood passes from the heart to
the head are always lessened in their cavities when
the head is resting in bed higher than the body
therefore in all diseases attended with fever the
head should be pretty nearly on level with the
body; and people ought to accustom themselves to
sleep thus, and avoid danger.--INedicaI Journal.
