Nbrriuxn'i Mr u t i men ta.
As our traders are aware, General
Siikkman delivered an address before
"the Society of tb? Army of the Ten
nessee," at its late meeting in St. Louis,
on Wednesday, 13th iust. Shaking of
slavery and the rebellion, bo declares
"that others than the people of the
Soath were partially re*ponsible, and
glionld share the natural consequences
of their own acts." The following aen
ti:tieut.s, taken from the address, are
rather unlike the utterances of some of
our otay-at-hoine loyalists :
And I, bom of Connecticut parents,
bearing in affectionate remembrance
the virtues of my houored ancestors,
and yielding to no man in admiration
of the intelligence, refinement, industry
ami thrift of the people of New Eng
land, do honestly believo that they, in
common with all the great North who
shared in the original causes and en
enjoytd a large part of the profits re
sulting from cotton aud slave labor,
should he charitable and liberal iu the
final distribution of the natural pen
alties.
If slavery then was the real canse of
our civil war, or evou the pretext for it,
and if children innst inherit the sins of
their fathers, even in the third and
fourth generations, then none of us who
trace our origin back to the earlier days
of this Republic can escape this mathe
matical and philosophical conclusion;
or, in the language of l)r. Draper :
"Guilty, then, both of us iu the sight
of Go t, let us not vex each other with
mutual crimination, but hear our pun
ishment with humility."
Fniraraa and Coaaiateacy .
As au evidence of the fairness with
which gout* of our cotemp-traries con
duct a dis-u^ion. we may cite a state
ment fiom a recent number of the
Clarksburg Telegraph. It declares that
in the late canvass in Ohio, the Demo
cratic party "beiug led by Pknolkton,
boldly proclaimed the doatrine of re
pudiation." We wonld like the Tele
graph to give a straight-forward an
swer to a single question. Wheu Con
gress made greenbacks, a legal tender
"for all debts, j>uA/itjaud private, except
daties ou imports aud interest on the
public debt," did it enact repudiation f
If so, then are the advocates of green
back redemption, repudiators. If uot,
not.
I lie same |>?(>?r alleges a disagree-]
m,,"t between the Democracy of differ
eat States on the bond question, claim- !
ing that in Ohio it is Democratic t.> pay '
the bonds in paper, while in New York)
it is Democratic to redeem them in gold.
We doubt if the recent elections show
any such results. The tinancea were as 1
much a question in New York as in Ohio, '
and the Democracy of both States voted !
with marked, vigorous and successful
unanimity to endorse the generally
accepted Democratic theory of rcdemp- 1
tiou. We should not have toj
travel over as inncli space as 1
the Tilegraph in order to find dig- 1
seditious in Radical ranks. Tho Tele
graph denounces the payment of bonds
in greenbacks as "repudiation," and
declares that "the Republican Union
party "cannot consent to any arrange- ,
nient to tax the Government bonds or i
redeem them with currency." The Par- '
kersburg Times, ou tho other haud, an
orthodox Radical sheet, fearing the
strength of the Democratic position in
regard to the tinauces, declares that J
"the boud question is by no mean* a j
party iuue." We thiuk somebody else
is getting JANt's-faoed.
The Telegraph, conjuring up these al
leged differences in the Democratic '
ranks, is reminded "of the Democracy I
i? 1S44, when the slogan of that party
in South Carolina and the other Gulf
States, was, 4 Poi.k, Dallas and Fret
Trade,' while in Pennsylvania it was,
' Polk, Dai. las, Texaa and a Protective
Tariff.' " 1
lo the best of our information the
firm of Polk, Dallas & Co. did a right
thriviug business that year. We would
not be surprised if the Telegraph should
witnww something else before a twelve
month, that will recall " the times of
44- Unless all signs tail, the analogy
between those days aud '68 will be
?hockingly complete.
'I h? Nesl Nrnutor?hip.
A correspondent writing from Wood
county desires to kuow "when Senator
Van Winkle's time will etpire," and
Also at what time the Legislature will
?lect his successor." His "impression
is that the Legislature just elected wiil
be required to fill Senator Van Winkle's
pl^ae." Our correspondent is mistaken.
Mr. Van Winkle's term will not expire
jjjpttil March 4th, 1809, and his successor
will be chosen by the Legislature of
that year, which is to be elected in
October, 1808.
Proceeding upon the assumption that
a Senator from West Virginia will be
elected this winter, our correspondent
ventures certain suggestions which, as
they are not appropriate at this time,
w? will with-hold. We can hardly
agree with him iu the opinion that
candidates will be as thick as thieves
the Radical party." This is stating
th* case rather strongly, and with such
? Legislature as the lost one, would
leave few disinterested men to do the
Radical caucusing. We doubt not,
Jowever, that the class referred to will
be largely represented on the list of
Aspirants.
Other phases of villainy will also have
their special exponents among the Rad
i?*J ?*ndid"<* for the Senatorship
laaeed there is no style of ra?o*lrty
simple or complex, in the interest of
which some illustrious "loyalist" may
uot be found to stand for Senator Van
Winkle's place. Among the accom
plished compound scoundrels, whose
acquirements include the whole range
of villainy from the lowest that a base
man may contrive to the highest that a
poltroon dare attempt, there is one for
whom we can name no rival in any of
the varied iufamy that has attracted at
tention to his name. Indeed, we might
say, to compare small things with great,
that like Olympian Jove, ho has not
evcu a second iu rank.* As in Jupiter's
case, all the inferior gods stood in a
lower than the second plane, so in the
spbero of West Virginia knavery, the
summit being occupied by a worthy
sovereign of an empire of rottenucss,
the second station is vacant, probably
because no man can be found of suf
ficient stomach to stand next to Gover
nor Borkman.
As to "the probable result," to which
our friend refers, we can form no idea.
The whole matter will probably be de
termined by those with whoso counsel*
we have little familiarity. If a perais
tcut and unscrupulous prostitution of
his place and official powers to personal
ends can avail auything, BoREMAN
will be elected. His course in the matter
of registration in Barbour, Tucker,
Randolph, Hampshire and Hardy, shows
that if corruption and fraud can work a
total exclusion, no Democratic member
of the Legislature shall take even partial
retribution by assisting iu the Governor's
defeat. We have some hope, however,
that in spite of his relentless and in
iquitous purposes, there will still be
left a sufficient number of Democratic
members in the Legislature to mako a
respectable showing. Iu that event the
Governor's chances will depend entirely
ou the personal influence of tlio man
who shall oppose him. If he be of
sufficient weight to command a decent
support iu his own party, Mr. Borkman
might as well try to bo embalmed as to
be elected. He will waste his sweet
ness to no purpose.

We are gratiticd iu being able to pre
sent to our many sheep-breeding and
wool-growing readers a communication
from one of tho most distinguished
sheep-breeders in this justly celebrated
sheep raising country. Other communi
cations are promised from this gentle
man; and we take this occasion to
renew our invitation to Breeders, Farm
ers aud Gardouors to use the columns of
tho Keuisteis in communicating their
thoughts and experiences to one an
other.
Fall Management ok Sheep.
Editor of tho Register:
1 have, as well as many ethers, been
vexed to see the coldness on the part of
most of tho "Press" of our country to
ward the interest of wool growiug aud
improvement of sheep. We are glad to
see you come out from among that num
ber aud invito us to talk to each other
through your paper.
The fall season is uow far spent, yet
it may lie useful to review aud see
whether we have maile the best vf it.
About the first of September the whole
llock should be sorted over. Tho poor
ont s from every lot put by themselves
ou good pasture and fed a little grain
every day. Coiumeuce feeding lambs
as soon as wcaued; corn, oats and bran
equal parts mixed and given ouce or
twice a day is the best they can have.
It is good for them co have hay stacks
iu their pasture aDd they will learn te j
eat hay on cold, frosty mornings, thus
preparing them far winter. Or what is
better, have them run into thoir sheds
at night and during hard storms,
having hay iu their racks. Lambs
served iu this way "go iuto winter quar
ters" having acquired an appetite for
drv feed aud being, iu a great measure,
inured to it. Then they seldom, if ever,
die with the "black scours" or "paper
skin" or 'dwindle away" by refusing to
eat, &c.
breeding ewes should be gaining in
flesh and it is well to grain them light
ly during the "coupling season." It ou
good pasture, say three gallons of corn to
the hundred head. Nearly all docks of
sheep, if they only get the chance, will eat
a little "roughness" ? hay or fodder ? the
latter part of November. Tho ohange
from fall to winter is gradual; in the
same manner animals ought to uudergo
a gradual change from green to dry
food, then their thrift is not checked.
In a word, the whole Hock ought to have
pasture and feed enough to put them in
good condition by the last of November
in our climate. We would urge this ?
besides many other reasons? as a mat
ter of economy. Most certainly it is
easier to raise sheep to good condition
during the mild fall weather than it is
on dry feed without tho aid of pasture
and the rigors of winter to contend
| with. The old saying that "slioep well
summered are half wintered," is a good
one. The philosophy beiug, that any
animal iu good health and good flesh
has greater digestive power, has more
animal heat aud strength to withstand
the cold and is bettor enabled to be
continually throwing off the impurities
of the system, therefore is far lest liable
to contract the poisouous elements of
disease. We may say something soon
of how to wiuter sheep.
SHEPHERD.
Fork Vour Garden*.
Professed gardeners well understand
the fall management of these important
little family farms. It is needless to
tell them how much the success of next
year's crops depends upon turning up
the ground late in November intended
for such crops. But there are mauy
others ? those who have small gardens?
aud in this class are mauy well-to-do
farmers? who euly raise small crops of
vegetables, aud these of . au interior
quality, and wonder why it is so.
Now, we cannot too often repeat the
advice that if they will use the garden
fork, and turn the soil up full fork deep,
allowing it to remaiu in lumps all win
ter exposed to the frost, it will put the
soil in excellent condition and teud
greatly to add to the production of next
year's crops. Uardens, aud especially
old ones, should also bo limed about once
in five years, and talted about every
other year, applying of lime at the rate
of thirty bushels to the acre, and of salt
from eight to ten. In applying salt
keep it from coming in contact with
boxedging and all other evergreens,
very smaU trees, &c. Such a course
will briDg op your old gardens in a sur
prising manner. Turnip?, radishes, &c.,
will grow as well as they ever did, and
ail other vegetables be largely bene
fitted. *
LKATIKG TIIE OLD HOV8E.
There's sunshine on the meadows,
And sunshine on the rood.
And through the bright new toils my horse
Beneath a weary load ;
And a* I stand beside my sate, with hand before
my eye*, . *
I see tile children laugh t? see the household
gods I prize.
There was a time when this old home
Waa full of mirth and glee.
But one by one the household went
And let it all to we ?
A (Joint boose of vacant rooms, each made a
sacred place
By echo of a missing voice, or dream of vanished
face.
Ah. bow I used to pause before
Tho mirror on the stair,
And shake my long bright ringlets out,
And fancy I was fair!
I took that quaint old mirror down, and packed
it up last night,
And never stopped to trick my hair? for what
is left is white.
In later years I used to sit
And wuteh the long gnvn lane,
For ouo who came in tliosu old times
But cannot come agaiu.
And, somehow still at eventide my
turned that way;
I sit and work where ouce I watched
ytsterday.
My new house is a pleasant place,
but yet it grieves mo now,
Its small completeness seems to say
My world is narrow now
'Tia far too small lor any one with festivals to
keep,
But for my funeral large enough, for few will
come to weep.
Good-bye, old house, a long good-bye;
My hand is on your gate;
Though tears are gathering in my eyes,
1 may not longer wait.
frood-bye, old house; and after all, the love
which makes you dear
Awaits mo iu the heavenly home which I am
drawing near.

FRO.tl DECENCY TO MIAJIE.
A Beautiful Mclio*l Uiitrrw ami Her
^Younger Sinter Yoluutnrily Ru.'ncd.
A terrible story of shame waa revealed
yesterday, iu the office of the Chief of
Police. The incidents of this sad reve
lation aro almost beyond comprehen
sion, iu their peculiarity. The principal
subject is a yonng woman of eighteen
years, born, raised, and well-educated
in this city, admitted, some time since,
as a substitute teacher iu tho Second
District School, on Sycamore street,
and, two weeks since, regularly appoint
ed as a permanent teacher, at ?400 per
annum.
In appearance she is extraordinarily
attractive, with a haudsome form, uoat
ly clothed, ami a beautiful and expres
sive face, with dark eyes, long lashes,
small, shapely mouth and cheok roses,
relieving a pure white face. With this
character, Miss Mary C. Q , whoso
widowed mother lives in the western
part of tbe city, appears her younger
sister, of sixteeu years ? who, up to last
Friday, was a pupil in the A giado of
the school in which her elder sister
taught up to that time. Yesterday af
ternoon, at about 4 o'clock, both of
these young people were taken out of a
house of ill-fame, on Sixth street, east of
Sycamore, by Detective llazen aud Offi
cer Pettit.
Last Saturday evening they left their
mother's house, uuder pretext of going
to the exhibition at Mozart Hall, and
never returned. Information of the
disappearance being given to the Chief
of Police, diligent search was made
throughout all the raoro prominent
houses of ill-fame iu the-city, bat with
chair is
-1 sat so
oat success, until yesterday afternoon.
In the Chiefs ottice both girls passed,
without a blush, through the ordeal of
interlocution, evincing throughout a
hardihood that seemed very remarkable
when it was remembered that they
were fresh from a decont home and from
the associations of the school-room.
The elder occasionally spoke for both,
and in everything that she said, her sis
ter appeared to sustain her. She stated
that she had had enough of the school
room ? that lier mother had abused her
for years, and that she had taken this
last step deliberately, and did uot in
tend to retrace it. She would not, un
der any circumstances, go back to her
home. Her sister cnuld do so if she do
sired. The sister appeared to be offend*
ed that a hint, of such a desire on her
part should be uttered, and iinally stated
that she would follow hor elder sister.
From the Chiefs ottice the girls were
taken to the office of the School Board,
where they were confronted by their
gray-haired mother. They met lier
coldly, and responded to her tears and
entreaties by reminding her that Bince
their father's death, and up to the hour
of their flight, she had abused them,
aud had frequently said she did not
care how soon the elder one loft her.
The Mayor, the Chief of Police, and
several others, strongly advised and
urged them to yield to their mother's
prayers aud remain at home. Hut they
had uo melting mood to exhibit ? no
tears to shed ? no concessions to make.
Cold as iciclos, they sat there, before
their weeping mother aud half a dozen
men, aud adhered to their terrible choice
of a career. They wore threatened with
the House of ltefuge, but appeared to
understand that their age saved them
from that institution.
"Y?u must co home or be locked up,"
said the Chief.
"Well," said Mary, quietly rising,
"I'm ready to be locked up" ? and the
I other echoed her words. And so they
| were taken down stairs, into the Ninth
Street Station, and locked within the
{ private cell, to see what efiect that
would have upon them; and there they
passed the night, while their mother
went home.
In all our experience we have never
come upon a sadder case of the kind
than this. Their situation gives proof
oftheueed of an institution wherein
such cases can be dealt with for the
good of the unfortunate ono. They arp
too old to be sent to the House of Ref
uge, where they might bo reclaimed.
The Home of the Friendless will not re
ceive them as unwilling guests. To
send them to the Female City Prison as
vagrants would be to ruin them faster
than their own course. So there is
nothing left but to discharge them, this
morning, and let them go their way. If
they could only look into the terrible
future of shamo, misery, disease and
death that is before them ? or know, as
do those much more experienced, the
horrors of the life they choose to lead,
their steps this morning would take
them to their home, however unpleas
ant that may bo to tbeui, and their
thoughts would turn to reformation,
even through most abject poverty.
The most stupendous tunnel enter
prise has lately been accomplished at
the silver mines in the German Hartz
Mountains. The mines were over 3000
feet deep, and the scarcity of fuel pre
vented the use of steam for pumping,
which was done by water wheels, aided
by tunnel drains. But the great depth
reached in 1359 precluded further pro
gress in that manner, aud a tuunel was
: commenced for deep draining, which is
but now finished. It is twenty-two
miles long; two million cubic yards of
solid rock were excavated, ten thous
and pounds of powder used, and the
linear extent of blasting-holes drilled
is ISO miles. Naturally, on the success
ful completion of this colossal work,
the thirty thousand miners whose K*e
lihood is now assured for twenty years,
celebrated the event with grand rejoic
ings. The mines cannot be worked un
til 1887 without steam, and they have
been operated since the year 906 in cod
timukl profitable production.

R. U. Leonard, writing from Wyom
ing county, N. Y., to the Rural Xew
Yorker , say#: "I believe it pays eveiy
farmer who works clar land to plow it
as macb as possible in the fall, especial
ly that which ho means to sow in spring
grain; The plowing should be dene
when the land is dry, and if it turua np
in great lumps so much the better.
Plow deep and leave the surface rough.
The frost and rain will pulverize and
lighten the soil, making it friable and
easily worked next spring. Deep plow
ing on clay land is better than shallow,
for the reason that such lands are gen
erally of a rich, deep soil; tho great
drawback on their producing largely
being the imperfect pulverization giveu
it. Only get the clay soil loote enough
to a good depth and yen are very sure
of a good crop? that is if it ktept loon
while it is growing. Draining is very
necessary to secure this, as any one ean
readily see* Oar clay soils are the best
of all, if they are only rightly managed,
but it takesa good deal of capital to
work them; they must be drained,
plowed deep, subsoiled, worked up loose
and tine, so the roots can get tho food
they contain, and then they will prove
the moat productive of any."
Clean* Grass Sked Important.? A
writer in the Massachusetts VlouqhiMii
give bis experience in the use of three
several parcels of grass seed purchased
at as many dillereut stores. The seed
was supposed t<^ be timothy and red
top; it came up with great uniformity,
grew finely, aud promised well for a
time, ? but soon after the commence
ment of June it was manifest that tim
othy and redtop had very little to do
with it. The predominant growth
cheat or chess, and the next in order,
common meadow grass. This shows the
importance of having clean seed when
stocking down laud, as a foul article not
only infests it with useless or inferior
herbage, but necessitates the breaking
up and re-stocking, involving both ex
pense and loss of time. Great caution
should be exercised w ith reference t<f
seed, especially of grasses, as a foul sow
ing is certain to rusult in a plentiful
harvest of disappointment aud vex
ation.
