B. i Thorpe (Tom Oowen, the Bee Hunter,) recently appeared: i " General Jackson not only stood by his friends, but ho was slow to believe ] anything against those in whom ho put 1 confidence. One of the most honored 1 and oldost citizens now residing in j Washington informed us that just < n Tf nit liici J 11 - ? ? 7 ?u UVA xiio Uiii> ill lit LIJilL UllJj IIIL'II !l j young man, Mr. Woodbury, then Sec- t rotary of the Treasury under General ] Jackson, said to him that ho was on 1 his way to the ' Wbito House ' to in- 1 form the General that one of his i ( cspooial appointees was a defaulter. < Mr. Woodbury said farther, that the t General was slow to believe anything ? against his friends, and that he ex- t peeled that ho, the General, would say j or do something unpleasant when he t heard the statement. Mr. Woodbury t then took our informant along on the ( pretence of introducing him to the ^ Presidont, but really to divide tfie ex- i pected fire that would bo evolved by ^ the real business of llie contemplated j c interview. The General was found in j Lis favorite room, with his feet against j the mantel, enjooing the heat of a f hickory wood fire, and the solac-o of his favorite corn-cob pipe. Mr. Woodbury.afterafcw unimportant remarks, at last stated the object of his visit. The moment-the General comprehended Mr. "Woodbury's statement he L brought his feet to tlio floor with a crasli, sprang up, and, almost livid with anger, said tbat he believed the charges mado against his old friend 0 Trnro f<ntun TTn nrlilml I TMa ??? ^ T W V JIXU tiuuvu . JLJJIO Xliitll fought by my side in the Florida war; r< 1 know he was brave, and I believe he v is nn honest man.' Mr. Woodbury, " who retreated to avoid the first effects 4': of the explosion, now stepped forward and said that he had been unusually l' careful to inform himself, and that he " was forced to believe that the charges i" were true. lie then added, as if to mollify the General, 11 would like to i I t| have you, Air. President, nominate some one lor the place.' 'Iwillnomi- " nate no one,' said the General, inter- ? rupting ifr. Woodbury, at the same 11 time choking to keep down his feel- a ings. 'Put in the vacant place whom a you please, but, mark me, Mr. Wood- c' bury, I shall examine into this case 11 rnj'self, and if my friend has been wronged, I will grind the guilty 1 parlies into the earth, just as I do this i 1 pipe,' as lie llirew the okl corn-cob on , the floor, and ground it up under the licel of his boot. Mr. "Woodbury gave his young friend a signal, and the two n hastily retreated. On reaching the open air Mr. Woodbury said, ' Thank ^ God, that unpleasant duty is perform- r ed. I hope I will never have to p<5r- a form another onoof the kind.'" *= It is useless to say of a man govern- 1 ed by principles so noble, where his 1 ^orannol rnlafinna OVA />AnAAimA/1 + ? his public life could be a failure ; at j a least it could not be a failure under a 1 popular form of government. But ? this feature of strong personality was n still farther illustrated by a prominent ^ act of General Jackson's Administra- r tion. Soon after he was inaugurated ^ lie appointed a then obscure young 1 roan, named Gwinn, subsequently dis- f tinguished as United States Senator 1 Gwinn, to the best paying office in his ^ gift, viz : United States Marshal of 1 Mississippi, Tho Senate was polili- 8 cally opposed to tho General, and it * rejected the appointment. The Gen- * eral sent it in a second time, and * again it was rejected. Nothing, up to this era, exceeded the party indig- 8 nation and abuse that was showered c upon the General for his violation of ' usaxre "and tho Constitution." bv such 1 ? J an unparalleled outrage of renominating a person to the Senate who had been rejected. Bat General. Jackson 1 kept Gwinn in office until his successor J was confirmed, and thus fonght the battle with tho Senate, keeping the , country in hot water and taxing his \ party for defence. This continued for 1 four long years. With General Jack- ' son's second term came a Senate ' politically favorable, and Gwinn was now nominated for the third time and c was confirmed, and thus ended the ! strife. Hon. Alexander Borrow, United 1 Slates Senator, who was a sort of God- [ child'** Gonwul Jackson's, informed ' us that, after many years of eitrangement on aoconnt of political differ- < onceg, he paid a last via^t to "tho Her- 1 milage." He foun d the once stalwart ' " Old Hickory"; doubled almost with age and suffering. Mr. Barrow said he wcus agreeable surprised that the 1 General made no sfluslohs to the disagreements oftimos padt^ but a Btrongth 1 would permit, talkqd only kindly of "olid, times." As Mr. Barrow was about to leave, he said, "General, as you have allcf^ Vf>[j&e past, if ft is,, pttsperanfl right, tett wh^|1ftt kepi through your first Presidential . term yourself a&dally.our friends in trdutye, % persisting iu koepiqg Mr J winn, Marshal*of ' i old (ieneral at the allusion, straightened up, his cyo assumed some of his natural brightness, and lie said, t{ When my mother fled with me and my brother from the oppression of the British, who held possession of North Carolina, and we settled in Tennessee, ive were very,very poor. My brother liad a long sickness (occasioned by a wound received from a British officer, for refusing to do some menial service) ind finally died. In the midst of our distress and poverty, an old Baptist Minister called at our log cabin, and spoke the first kind words my mother licard in her new home ; and this good iian continued to call, and ho finally nado our house his lodging place, and -ontinued to prefer it, when better >nes in the neighborhood were at his icrvice. Years rolled on, and this I rood man died. Well, Sir," continued .lie General, with a great deal of feeing, "when the news was brought me hat 1 was elected President, 1 put up ny hands and exclaimed: 'Thank 5od for that, for it will enable me to jive the best office under the Governnent to the son of the old Minister vho was the friend of my mother, and >f me in my youth.' and I kept mv >romisc, and, if it had been necessary, would have sacrificed my oflice be'orc he should have been removed." Fi oin the Snrinrrfielil Rennlilionn Rebel Military Genius. ONGSTREET, JOE JOHNSON AND TUB VACANT BUIGADIKItSHU'S. Tlio New York Evening Mail takes ffoiise at tbe casual remark of tlio RepubIcan llint "on many accounts it is to be ^gretted we are not yet far enough tulanced to take advantage of ihe splendid lilitary talent of the South." The Mail spresses the opinion that the gallant rc^u ir officers, graduates of Wot Point before je war, who remained true lo tlio flag, ould not appreciate such magnanimity. Tow, if we may venture to assume lo know 9 much about the regular army as tin fail, we would assert thtt, setting aside no selfish consideration that increasing the umber ot applicants would diminish their wr. individual chances of promotion, the fficera of that service generally would give cordial welcome to u fair proportion ol ppointtuents from among the distinguish d.soldiers of tlio South. The fact doea ot make it right or desirable ; nur did wo xpress ourselves finally or unreservedly as a favor of such a course : but onlv in ' I liJidcd to give expression to a proper and atriotic feeling of regrei, tliHt the arm}' o lie United Slates should, from any cause, e deprived of at least oue-lialf the highest oililary talent of the lund. Our difTereuce with the Mail is on two oinls. The Mail understands that the egular army is maintained, if not chiefly, ,t least among ofher thing*, to reward the ;raduales of West Point who remained rue in the rec<nt conflict. On the conrnry, we regard it as the purpose of an ,rmy to have the most perfect instruments ttainahle, for a.i attack or defense against he public enemy. There are seventeen ;eneral office's in the army, besides depart- | :ienal officers holding that rank. Now we ! o not suppose it possible for any sensible nan to assert that seventeen men can be aken from the late Union army, and not Delude eight, at least (let us be that much >atriotic,) who are surpassed in every miliary qualification by citizens of the United >t?tes who followed the Confederate loruneu in the war. Nor does the Mail eriously believe that if Ewell, L mgstreet. Johone, or Dick Taylor were to accept tosilions in the United Stales service, they vould, in any such reasonable contingency is it bccomes a statesman lo consider plot gainst the country, refuse to obey the irdors of their superiors, cr act any othervise than as brave and faithful soldiers. .If bis is f>o, the reason for excluding them nust be either to punish them, or to reward oyal officers. As to punish any man, at his time, for participation in the rebellion, he views of the Republican are too well mown to need statement here. Nor do ve believe ti at the country can afiord lo eward- even the most faithful and well mentioned officer by promoting him to a tosition in the military or civil service, when there is a better man for the place, tt is right to give a preference, and a conliderabie preference to Union officers; but when it comes to 2 choice between Joe lohnston and S. HeintzeiS^it the country sacrifices a good deil for ti e sake ? t I! ?_ ifi* . * 1 ji rtJYvaruiug bd louinereni son 01 nero, 11 il chooses the latter. ? ,, The second error of the Mail, ?s we conceive it, is regarding the admission of late rebel# to the military service as tomething peculiarly dangerous. Bat why! Many of the Southern officers, it is true, went with their States in.the war; but did act the Southern .,politicians also! Nay, there was thia difference, that almost every Southern officer threw his influence against * secession, uptil. it w&r inevitable and accomplished, while the politicians desired it and' plotted it, end forced it npootie people. ; JSwetf for ?tample, Lee*fc ablest Ifleuteaant nUpr Jackson, whom he swaAeded.

Take Longstreel:. ihete is not a more truly reconstructed luau in the South than ' this bold, vigilant and sagacious soldier. [ His loyalty is -unchallenged, bis p> litical disabilities havo been removed by special grace'of Congress; were he to enter Congress as a Senator fjom his nat ve State, be would receive a porfect ovation.. But it seems to be regarded as something little less than treason to express a regret that the nword of so accomplished a soldier cannot be nt bin country's command. Now this seems to u* something very like nonsense. A disloyal General today would not be half as much dreaded as a disloyal Senator; yet you filial! meet a score of men who will advocate the rem^al of all political ("usabilities, to ono who dares to speak above his breath of appointing Ewell or Longstrcut to commands in tbo army. We hie willing 10 admit that such a swoitlj be aseiious one, and should not bo taken without ample deliberation; we do not advocate it in any sense ns a thing to be done at once or done anyhow but wo shall take the liberty to repeat that it is a pity theUl>ited States cannot avail itself of the splendid military talent of I he South ; and we believe tlint no long time will pms, before the sole test in the army or in the Stale will be ability and present loyalty. Does any body suppose that if the United Slntes were to be in volvod in a general war, Massaehusett and New Voile regiments would not fight side by side with the troops of South Carolina and Alabama, and under com- j munders taken indifferently from the Union ! and the Rebel armies of five years ago ? \ If it would be safe and proper then, why is it wroug and dangerous n iw ? ? -Of ?

BpAuTA, Ga., January 6, 1869. J'Jditors /Southern Cultivator:?There is a great demand for me to re-write my , plan of cultivating corn, preparation of j land, &c., by new subscriber*, and b? per- ; sons who ate uot subscribers to your pa- I per. ' I In tho first place, I refer them to my j ! system of improvement, rest and rotation, j given in the. Southern Cultivator last j year. Many inquire, when is the proper time to break up land. I wrue fot this ! . 1 I j latitude, anil every person must tuako ciue | ? allowance, as his farm maj be North or j South of this lino. Tho plowing must he commenced the first day of January, to get it done in time, or as soon as you are done sowing wheat If I had my choice, and could get all the work done in one day, j I would not have the plowing done more j | than ten days before planting, for tho following reasons, derived from actual experience: If it is a diy, *cold Ireezing winter and spring, the fall plowing is the best ; in j some springs of this kin*!, as those of 1839 n and 1 T lffr liolftt tlnv?nnrl? t\\n o! h field, which wore not plowed until a n lew days before planting, and 1 could dis- c tiuguish the belts all through the year? the corn in them being from eighteen to j, i twenty two inches lower than the rest.? c For the crop and improvement of the land, a I in about one winter out of seven, fall plow- e ing is the best* In the cases where the j belts were left, when the winter was warm t and the rains abundant, the late plowing would beat the early plowing twenty-five e per cent, in the crop ; besides, accord ng j to my experience, there is less loss from washing. Lund mus.t be well broken before planting, 60 commence in time to do it?llio later it is done the belter for the land, taking seven years together, but not so good for tennis. ITave good turning plows, and according i to your ability, use one or two horses, and ^ subsoil; ride over llio field, and lay efi' 1 the land so that the horses will go round f on a level, and the dirt will fall down hill ?a team will break up the soil niue inches s deep in this way, as easily as lliey could i seven inches, on a level piece of land.? c Continue to tnko the lands in the same ' way until the field is finished, one team L following another?all llio time going v round the circle; ai.d if you subsoil, have 6 one team between e; eh turning plow, run- '' ning in the boltom of the furrow. When k you finish, the field is ready for planting, if P the proper lime has arrived. In deciding ibis point, you must, be governed by the F weather?it varies from the tenth of March v to.the first of April. According to my fexperience, a man only gains bard work e and more of it, by very early planting. u Now for the planting. Lay off furrows r with n loug shovel plow, on a level, seven 11 feet apart. Commence at tlie opposite en<!, with a longer shovel, and open out the same farrow. The reason for this is, you get up to trees and stumps, and make a better fiuiah at the ends. This furrow v should stand open seven or eight inches I deep. Whether you use compost, cotton seed or guanos, let cach hand have hie fi three fLot measure, and deposit the manure 0 in the bottom of the furrow, just three ^ feet apart. Then drop the .corn within c three or four inches of the manure, one or ^ ra^re grains, as is your cusiom?dropping v on the near tide of the manure, as the 11 dropper goes; then, with a very light har- d row, cover the corn one or one and a half 1 inches deep. The harrow should go the a same way the dropper goes, to keep from 6 pulling the manure on the grain. 1 If you cover deep, you lose all the ad- c vantages of low planting, (but not the r deep breaking) and for this reason: corn, in good weather, will come up from a c depth of one to 6ix inches, but will strike c out roots about one inch from the surface * of the ground, and all below that will perish. This is one reason whj I am opposed to diiting corn as 6oon as it comes up?it brings the root of the st?lk to the top of the ground. My plan is to finish the first working from the 20th of April to the 10th of r May. Sometimes I have not finished before the 25th of May. With the land well turned, very little grass and weeds will come up, except in the bottom of the furrow, and this is easily manacred. For the first plowing, have a heavy 1 twenty-two inch sweep, with the right 1 wing f>o set, that its back end will not be 1 more than one inch above the ground. This is (o run near the com, and should 1 fill the furrow vithio one or one and a 4 half inches of the general sui face. Break ' out the middles with l'ie "*me aized sweep, 1 with the back of both wings turned up ; if the plowing is well done, four furrows will finish out?four bands completing 1 fourteen acres every day, by going sixteen \ miles a day,?. . * * 1 Second plowingr-have the wing of the I siding sweep turned a little more tbao iialf op; ran close to the corn,leaving nothing I for the hoe; fot. if tbe plowing la well done, tbere.i* no use of a hoe.

Figliliug at a Funeral?A Clergyman Stoned. A singular religious qunrrel occurrcd on York street, not long since, culminating in tho arrest of three parties on one side, who were charged with stoning a German Lutheran clergyman, because he refused toperform tho regular funeral rites over a nlOlnllno nP (l.n ? ... vyi LUVi VMUlCIIj WlJiJ died accused of a misdemeanor, for wbieli ho would have been suspcuded had he lived a few days longer. The clergyman, Pev. Henry Fuhr, is n pastor of the German Lutheran Church in Rocicport, Ohio. In the neighboring town of Parma there it-, another Gorman Lutheran church. At the time the clergyman waa attacked, ho was at tho late residence ol Mr. Koch, on Yo" k 6trcet3 a deceased member of his church, to officiate at the interment. Koch, having become tho proprietor of a naloou, violated one of tho rules of the clergyman's church, and would lmvo been brought before that sacred tribunal for examination had h<5 lived a few days longer Finding tho deceased ready for interment, with this sin upon his head tho clergyman hesitated about inclu ding "sanctification" in tho service and upon that rock the funeral split The service was to havo taken place at one o'clock P. M., but the wrung ling between tho Pockport and Par ma branches delayed the intermenl two hours. The wife of the deceased was willing that her husband should bo buried without "sanctification" and so were many of his friends and the members of his church. Tho Parmo branch, however, not being in the minority very much, and taking n worldly viow of the case, insisted " 1-' l- - 1 wH11UU1U UO lllCillded in the bill. Tho house of monrning was soon turned into a den oJ pugilists. Women, unaccustomed to Battering opponents with anything but brooms and pokers, purfiucd the clergyman as ho sought refuge in flight-, belaboring him with sticks, and tho men hurled boulders from the pavement that would havo been considered very dangorous weapons when machinery was in vogue for throwing them in ancient warfare. A neighboring bouse was not a sufficient shield to the man of God against tho furious onset of tho mob, so ho fled from it, taking refuge in a buggy, and escaped without sorious injury. The funeral took place without "sanctiflcation." A few days ago the minister returned to the late residence of tne deceased to offer tho consolation afforded by hie clerical capacity to the widow and children, when ho was attacked the second time, and fled from the scene as before, to save his life.
