Planting Sweet Potato Slips, or It is well \o tnlcy advantage o( a rainy day for planting if you can, hut plant whether it rain or not. We have planted in the midst of novnrlnnt? by plunging the roots into u baiter composed of equal parts of fresh cow-dung, wood ashes arid vegetable mould, mixed with water to the proper consistency to adhere to them. This will generally insure a perlect "stand," and hasten the growth of the vines. A good crop of potatoes will "help out" wonderfully, and there is no reasonable excuse for not having an i abundance of them. /. urrobubly make little additional impression. I'ut there are some things that every farmer ought unniediau Itey to look I after for the purpose ot guarding j against sickness in the family, and I perhaps death. Fevers are more or j less prevalent over the country, and i in numerous, if not most instances, | proceed from purely local causes that I might be remedied, in this city it lias been found necessary, within the last, two or three years, to vacate whole blocks of brown-stone houses 011 account of the prevalence of fevers, and the occasion of the illness has been found Oil (>y:l(lill)Dlinn ( i\ In. in n/ i?*/ 111 ivuir cealed dampness. The houses have been built over wet spola that were not properly drained, ami the consequence has been that misasmalio e^halationu haye ascended into the dwellings, to prostrate one after an-1 other of the inhabitants. Subsequent! draining bus completely remedied the evil. There is many a farm-house in the country where the family have nearly all been attacked with lever in succession in consequence of their living over a dark cellar. To sutler vegetables to lie in the cellar during the spring and decay may be sow ing the seeds of disease which w ill ere long bring forth their Iruit. A pond of stagnant water to the windward el a dwelling house has often been the breeding place for pestilential fevers. It is rather late in the spring to guard against all the sources of sickness, but no work on the farm, or even iu connection with an ordinary dwelling in village or country, is more im |nu t;n:t man inai wmcn will secure it against the attacks of disease during the summer* Every cellar should be carelully cleaned?thoroughly paritied; every effort should be made, by draining aud otherwise, to guard it ogainst dampness; every drain should be examined to see that it be open; poo's, especially near the house, should be carried off. A little care and precaution taken at the present time may prevent serious consequence*. A little neglect may prove iatal to many. * V - . ? V W ^ W XT' rCJlX/ !t . .A.n Indepei WAYHOHO, S.

[From tlio Now York Sun."] Tu view ot llio recent wont* at i ' Washington, it ih proper to refresh j our memories occasionally, and show 1 how bravely wo are moving onward and upward to perfection. Since ' j Abraham Lincoln is the great exemp; lar ol Republicanism, and Douglas ol , I Northern Democratic statesmanship, f wo reproduce what both these men I were accustomed to say: "I hold that this government was j made on the white basis, by while j men, for the benefit of white men, and J none others. 1 do not believe that I the Almigety made the negro capable j ot self-government."?/SUphen A. JJou(/lad. se that Honest i Minor Stewart would euro much lor the general d illusion ol knowledge. His own cdncnlion began with a 1 null team at a c;u't\i head, and if ins| tioo were done it might conclude with j la more interesting scene at p. oartV tail. Those who won hi inter ihc degree of popular enlightenment in I Nevada I mm the -character of its repre sent a lives would probably consider t lie pn*se;ice of ICcad-11 ended Hill in the Senate A sufficient testimony upon which to ground a veiy ompath-etio opinion; and if the voters of the 1 >iei lriot ot Columbia bad a little better educated, it is likely that the Legislature would have proved some chock on the Hoard of Public Works, and the said William might not have had the honor of sitting upon a com mi lie to investigate the conduct of his own i iij.?.rtmnl!/.?c T.wl 3 i .i wwiiijinvvni juitan.1 onu ()l lilt' rilsalis ol' universal popular education would bo tho entire disappearance from public life of men like this hero of the ox gad aiul the malted mine. We wore, therefore, not a little astonished when our eyes first caught in the press depatchcB the heading, "J'Muoa I tion: Amendment to the Constitution i proposed by Senator Stewart." John j l'atter&on introducing a constitutional provision lor the increase of penitentiaries, or Cannon one to prevent plural cohabitation, would have been less surprising than this, lint upon reading further the true character of the proposition was conspicuously revealed, and bold William's motives he- | came apparent. JLiut to be appreciat| cd the the thing must be read: "Mr. Stewart introduced a hunt # # o resolution m the Senate to-day proposing the following as an amendment to the Constitution: A ' t - ~ - .firucie 10. il any tStftte shrill (ail to maintain a common school system, under which all persons between the ages of five and eigteen years not in capacitated for the nunc shall receive, free of charge, such elementary education as congress may prescribe, the Congress shall have power to establish therein such a system, and cause the same to be maintained at the expense ol such Stale.*' The l-'reed men's Bureau having conic to grief, and the carpet-bag Government being in a fair way to be swept into perdition, it is time to be laying out a new field of operations for enterprising thieves who have reaped and gleaned the old ones. It is, moreover, extremely important that a comprehensive scheme of plunder and oppression like this should he underlaid by a great moral idea; and so Mr, Stewart has selected education for the object of his special care.
