Drath?A lcnifo by which the ties of earth are riven. A Talk with Long?tre?t. "Qath," of the Chicago Tribune, ' ia? recently had a talk with the < -econstruoted Con fed rate General i Longstreet. lie says: i 1 met General Longstrect a few i jvenings ago, and had a good op- 1 portuniiy to determine what man- 1 ner of man he is, so far at, least as < !iis conversation and appearance 1 went Longstreet is one of the i most perfect types of a profession i al soldier. He was born in South i Carolina, but is of Georgia extrac tion, and he says that his family i name is German. He is a nephew 1 of the celebrated Judge Longit root, author of the u Georgia ? Scenes,'* which, in their day, w??re < considered to be an unique eon- I tribution to our periodical liter ature. He wear* plain drew, and his whole presence has a nameless 1 jelf expression and self respect which is not (infrequent amongst Southern men. tie told rue that lie never cast a vote in his life until last year. Longstreet' discusses with calmness and good judg- 1 fiient the military ability of his jld associates, and it is not palpable that he has lost any of the zest find heartiness which used to dis Linguish Iiitri as a member of the 11 Lost Cause " lie eave nothing i which indicates his regret at the part he too^ but on the contrary, Rcetned to nave a docile sort of fondness tor his military lite and Imnninunce during the rebellion. Ju evidently considers Joe Johnston's to be the first military repu iAtion ot the South, and he speaks i?f all the Federal Qenerals with respect,accounting oven tor McCloIan sfailure in the Peninsula. 1 asked him if it were true, as had been related, that at Gettysburg he advised the turning of the Federal position on Cemetery Ridge. He said "yes;" that on the third day tic tiavl I'l O|;oco*1 to O OIIOl'ul Loo to extend hit* line so as to cover the roads leading back toward Marylaud, and this would compel an evacuation of the Federal position. "No," replied l.ee, "the enemy is right there, and we must fight him." Longstr* et says that he sal upon a fence and watched with a field glass. Picket's Division making that celebrated but fatal charge, and that be felt satisfied that the Cemetery Ridge could n t bo carried. I asked him what he would have done had Lee permitted liim to turn Itonnd Top to the right, and he replied that he should have moved by forced inarches directly III - -I-: ? upon ??uMiimgioii v/iiy. i^ougstreet says that both sides ill the civil war committed mistakes, when they put engineer officers at Lhe head of large armies, and that the properties which make a Field Marshal are not those required in an active General. Lie does not believe that if Mead had pursued Lee's army after Gettysburg, Lee would have been beaten, but says he wanted to stand ut llagerstown aid make a tight. He always Bp.-aksof the Federals in discussing these war matters as the enemy. He ?toes not believe that McClellan could have got into Richmond if lie had been bolder in his Peninsular campaign, but Bays that at a later .period of the war there were several occasions when the city might have been easily captured, lie thinks Gettysburg was, on the whole, the best fight of the war; thinks it foi tituate that Mead had replaced Hooker in command of tiie federal army there. Ho spoke of a number of instances where the Federal troops had behaved as well as 1 Anybody could expect soldiers to behave, and that his own troops, which were collected from nearly all of the States, were as good as lie wanted. He has not a particle ?f biterness for anybody in tho South or North; seems to admire General Grant, and talks over the whole subject philosophically. ?

Then they go to work for him till they know of a chance to make seventy five. Tney have no bar-rooms; they drink no strong drink ; they do not tight, or curse, or break things. But they love to smoke in the evening, nnd it atnuses them greatly to throw a pile of little brass coin, ten of which makes a cent, on the middle of a table, and bet that, when the heap is counted off, it will turn out odd. &M110 bet a dime that it will count out1 odd, ns twenty-one.

Blind Staggers In Horses. A corrcsj>ondent in tho Kings t<?n East Tennessecati writes as follows : " I have understood that a nnin her o( horses have recently died in the neighborhood of Knoxville with a peculiar disease, and somev;hat similar to blind staggers.? Several horses have recently died in this county. Uavi< g had some experience in the treatment of the disease, I thought I would ask sufficient space in your paper to tell it, so that those having horses affected might profit by it. If the I'Atiii'ilv dm>a nut rtnrn. it will p<?r? - J ?? ?- " tuiuly do no harm. " Several years ago, I lost three or four horses with the disease referred to. I tried every remedy I could hear of. Not long afterwards another horso being affectcd, I concluded I would try a remedy I hud often used successfully with hogs, as follows:? With a sharp knife I split the skin on the forehead to the bone, making an incision of alxmt three inches in length, immediately beteen the eyes, then pressing into the wound as much salt as 1 well could get in. In twenty-four hours the horse was well. I have never nad a case since, but would ever resort to the above remedy. It is simple and effectual/' The South has another now agriculture topic besides the cultivation of tea: the cultivation of the |>"ppy- The experiment which lias net Southern farmers to arguing that tho raising of this plant would be extremely profitable, was lately tried by a Louisiana farmer, who raised poppies enough on seven acres of ground to ytild him one hundrod and forK pounds of marketable* opium, lis lie sold at an average of ten dollars per ponud. " M t Sweet Potatoes Editoks South el: m Cultivatou. Mr. Gauso in the December No. I of the Cultivator, asks * do potatoes need any manure and what soft?" While I may no' he able satisfactorily to solve the question, I propo.-e to submit a few remarks upon the subject. I mhy promise by saying in agriculture, as in morals aud religion we need line, upon liue, and precept upon., precept?hero a little and there a litI tie. If the tiles ot your journal I for a tow ycara past, ware ucoessi ble t? your enquirer, bo would no doulit tind muuy ot his questions, satisfactorily answered. Land upon which potatoes arc attempt ad to be grown, may bo eitbor too looee^or Uk> close, too rich or, too ]H>or, to produce them to advantage. i I believe it is generally conceded that light land with a good measure ot vegetable matter, eith er naturally present or furnished, is best for potatoes. Stimulating fertilizers,-beyond a certain point, will dctelopo rank vines on the sit* luce, and strings, instond of roots, lielow. Cow dung, in combination with straw and ^leaves, makes good potatoes. Grass the enemy of most crops, is especially the baneot this one. In one corner of iny potatoe patch this year, there is a little strip of land .just taken in, alter having received, the droppings of stock, and then pressed by constant tramping for years. After breaking it up two ways as well as I could, with u scooter drawn by a single mule, 1 laid it off tour feet with same plow, tilled the trenches with halt rotted straw, and bedded with four coul I ter iurrowB. 1 Oiu not consider the ground sufficiently pulverized, And whs tho more coniirmed in that opinion, when I heard the roaring sound of the plow in o my surprise the two, three, and four pound p iatocs rolled out in quick succession, and the yield oil -that strip was decidedly hotter than on tho bqtter pulverized, and as I considered the hotter munurcd field adjoining. I'crhaps the secret of tho difference lies in the fact, that tliiere wu3 no crah grass seed to interfere with the first, ami it was Consequently u laid by " clean, while tlie other was snflered to make a crop of potatoes and grass jointly, Break the ground thoroughly and deeply, ana cultivate so as not to allow a spear of grass to run to seed. Don't stop cultivating because the vines lap across the rows, hut turn them hy hand into every alternate row until those rows are plowed?then turn them into tho freshed plowed row, rUid plow tho other. Never pick out the small potatoes?as some do, fiotn tlio general crop?for Blunting, or you will surely muky small potatoes, and they will grow beautifully le?-b till you will have something like humcs-strings instead of potatoes. Either lied yon r best potatoes to obtain 44 draws *' lor planting or plant vines in sumiuer to make slips. Some recommend the cheaper plan ot stripping the beds just before frost, and bunking the vines as you would potatoes, for planting. Some people think they can't raise potatoes without making high beds with the hoe, tltis is a mistake. A bed is no more needed Ibr potatoes than for corn or cotton. The vines must not be allowed to take root ex* cept in the bed. Gather before frost, and put up in bunks of twenty-five or thirty bushels, on a thick bed of pine, wheat, or oat straw, and cover heavily, with the same, and add a good coat of earth from a circular ditch one or two feet around the hank. Then shelter from rain or enow if you please? if not, be sure to pile on straw and earth enough to keep them dry. X. P. L. Darlington, S. C. < ? ITow to Uaisk Good Ciiickkns. 1. ISet the hen in a place where abo will nut ho disturbed. 2. Give a largo lion twelve or tliirtoou eggs, medium sized, one ten or twelve, and a biiiu.11 one, eight or nine. 3. Don't let the hen come out of the sitting-room until she lias hatched, but keep hor supplied with gravel, fowl and water. 4. When chicks are hatched, leave them in the nest for eight or .ten hours. 5. Don't ineddle with the eggs during incubation : turning them once a day, and all such foolishness, is apt to proveut the eggs from hatching. All of this is good advice from the Bout horn Farmer. ? ?

The crime from which .this wretched man was hung ia still irosh in opr memories. . One morning at breakfast his tripe didn't suit him and he immediately,' brained his wife and children and set the house on fire, varying the monotony of scene by pithching his mother in law down the well, having, previously, with greater tonsideration. touched her heart with a J cheese-knito. 1 I wilt not quote my friend's own words: 44 lie was pronounced a hard case, manifesting no sorrow for his act, and utterly -indifferent to his approaching doom. A score of good people had visited him with tho kindest intentions, but without making the smallest impression iffton him. <4 Without boastifig, I wish to say that I knew 1 could touch this man's heart. X saw a piny once in which the most blood-thinly and brutal rufilan that ever existed was melted to tears at the mention of hie mother's name, and childhood's happy hours, and everybody bnoto's what happens on the stage happens just the same in real lite. 441 naturally congratulated my self on having seen this play, for it gave me now or to cone with this relentless disposition. " lie resisted all attempts at i conversation, however, in the most dogged manner, merely returning surly monoeylahles to my anxious - wishes for his well being.

To Prevent Lamp Chimneys from Breaklnq.?Every housewife, who uses kerosene oil, knows ' that it affords the best and cheapest light of all illuminating oils. 1 But she also knows that the ..constant expense and annoyance from the breakage of lamp chimneys, almost, if not quite, con titer-bal' ances the advantages of its use. ' Put the glass chimney in lukewarm water, heat it to the boiling point, and boil it one hour, atter which leave it in the water till it cools, i The chimney will be le66 liable to crack by sudden change of tetnper aturc.

The following beautiful tiibuto to tbo followers of the "stick and rule," is from the pen of Henjiman F.
