I had occasion, a few weeks since, to take the early train from Provi dense to Boston; and for this purpose rose at two o'clock in the morning. Everything around was wrapped in darkrness and bushed in silence. bro ken only by what seemed at ' at hour an unearthly clank and rush of the train. It was a mild, serene midsum mer's night ; the sky was without a cloud, the winds were whist. The mooni, then in the last quarter, had just risen, and the stars shone with a spectral lustre but little affected by her presence; Jupiter, two hours high was the herald of the day ; the Plei ades, just above the horizon, shed their sweet influence in~ the east ; Lyra sparkled near the zenith ; Andromeda veiled her newly discovered glories from the naked eve in the south ; the steady Pointers, far beneath the pole.~ lookedl meekly up from the depths ofl the north to their soverigni. Such was the glorious spectacle as I entered the train. As we proceeded, the~ timid approach of twilight became m,re err..ptibe the intQns blue skv eyes; the east began to k-iidle.

Grant's Arkansas Policy. WASHINGTON, February 9.-Th following message wa's received fror the President of the United States i: answer to the resolution of the Sen ate of the 3d instant in regard to al fairs in Arkansas, which was read a the suggestion of Clayton, of Arkansas who moved that it be printed and re ferred to the committee on privilege and elections. Thurman moved t amend by substituting a reference t the committee on the judiciary. He said the question involved wa not one concerning an election, but question of law, which was as to th right of the people of Arkansas, t change their constitution. The whol question was, whether the constitu tion of Arkansas was lawfully changec If so, they have a lawful governmen there. Clayton said a memorial oi this subject, was already before th committee on privileges and election. and t-he question was one concernin the election of 1872, as well as tha of last year. Thurman said the whol matter had better lie over for the prE sent. He confessed that he was a tonished at the message and recoin mendations made.

I will venture to express the opir ion that all the testimony shows that in the election of 1872, Joseph Brook was lawfully elected governor of tha State; that he has been unlawful]: deprived of the possession of his offic since that time; that in 1874 th Constitution of the State was, by vic lence, intimidation and revolutionar proceedings, and a new constitutioi adopted, and a new State Governmen established.

Provisions for Putting the Whole South Under Martia Law. The joint caucus of Republican sen-a tors and representatives was held o the 11th, but owing to a misunderstand ing the attendance was small.

An important change has been made in the South Carolina Railroad t schedule. Passengers going down to Charleston make connection in Colum bia at 4.30 p.m., and arrive in Charles ton at 11.45 p. in. Leave Charleston y at 6.43 a. m. and arrive in Columbia at - 2.15 p. m. The night express leaves B Columbia at 7 p. rn. and arrives at Charleston 6.35 a. m. Close connec tions are also made with the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad, and a quick trip to Washington and other points North is secured. t The Piedmont Cotton Factory. This important interest is being rapidly pushed to completion under the energetic direction of Col. H.

Men of capital are.taking hold of the stock and the - Piedmont Factory will become such - a grand success, we believe, that other factories will be started else where, and the State eventually be come what she is entitled to be. All .that is requisite is to establish confi ,dence' in such enterprises, and when once that is the case, and attention is -drawn in this diretion, all will be well.

The question is now settled. POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, s WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 23, '75. tSIR : I would state in answer to your inquiry of tihe 19th instant, that the persons to be benefitted by the law relative to the free distribution of county papers must be actual subscri bers to the papers they receive, and they must reside in the same county in which the papers are printed in whole, or in part, and published. It is not necessary that the subscribers' post office should be in the county in which they reside, provided it is the Soffie at wvhich they regularly receive Stheir mail. Respectfully, J. W.

Chancellor Johnson's bill to declare and protect the rights of married women and children under polic'gs of life insurance taken out for their bene r fit has passed in the House to a third i reading. The bill provides : r"That if a policy of insurance upon the life of any person which has al e ready or may hereafter be taken out, - in which it is expressed to be for the f benefit of any married woman, or for the benefit of her'self and her children, e or for the benefit of herself and the achildren of her husband, whether pro c ured by herself or her husband, shall fenure to the use and benefit of the - person or persons for whose use and fbenefit it is expressed to be taken out, 1and the sum or net amount of the in surance becoming due and payable, by the terms of the policy, shall be epayable to the person or persons, for - whose use and benefit it is expressed -to be taken, free and discharged from 3 the claims of the representat'ves of her husband. or any of his creditors, -or any party or parties claiming by, through, or under him or them, or either of them: Prvdd owever, 1 That if the premium paid in any one Syear out of the property or funds of 'the husband shall exceed the sum of five hundred dollars, the exemption from the claims of the creditors of her r husband shall not apply to so much of r said premium paid as shall be in ex - cess of five hundred dollars, but such excess, with the interest thereon, or so much thereof as may be necessary, r shall enure to the benefit of such 2 creditors, if any.

The election on Friday, of Major a A. J. Shaw as Judge of the Third P Circuit is another one of the signs of 01 hope that the State is being redeemed f, of its corruption. It was a strong al fight, but the victory was fortunately P for the right, and again Mr. Chamber lain stands out in a favorable attitude. The Republican party would have at blundered had it elevated Moses to $ the position, and agreat calamity would fc have been inflicted on the people. The report of the day's proceedings show that Newberry's representative, ir Boston, seconded his nomination, he sc acknowledged that Moses "had a bad 01 name and a bad recommendation, but bi he had laid the basis of restored credit t: in the suggestion of the measure to eI soale the public debt." That better W judgment prevailed is cause for re joicineg. The Phwnix says of the gentleman ti who has just received the distinguished p honor : Mr. Shaw is a worthy gentleman and able lawyer. le is adwirably qualified by his native parts, his legal and scholarly attainments, his large experience, and his unsulliea integrity of character. all united to judicial fair- M ness of mind, for the distinguished r positien to which he has been advanced. di We congratulate the General Assembly h upon this recognition of merit without reference to political professions, and we congratulate the State that it has rE added to its judiciary or-e who is able N to illustrate and adorn its service.

A. J.-The Statute of 1886, which allows a preferred lien to d any person or persons making an ad-b vance or advances either in money or other supplies to any person or persons b engaged or about to engage in the cul- a1 tivation of the soil, is as follows: n "If any person or persons shall make any advance or advances to anyg person or persons who are engaged or t< are about to be engaged in the culti- a vation of the soil, the person or persons a so making such advance or advances shall .be entitled to a lien on the crops ;t which may be made during the year g, upon the land, in the cultivation of a which the advances so made have been expended, in preference of all i a other liens existing or otherwise, to t the extent of such advance or ad- 0, vances.'-Gen'l Stats., Sec. 55-p. tI 557. b One important object of this Stat ute is, to enable those who "are en- hi gaged or about to engage in the culti- s vation of the soil" to get upon credit I the neeessary supplies to be expended ti in producing their crops; and at the same time enable the person or persons t( advancing money or other supplies to ai secure him or themselves in the pay- k mient of the thing or things advanced., which were expended upon the land in producing the crop, and upon which ai thing or things a mortgage would be it no security. b It is shown that neither money nor I anything else was advanced by the, appellant to Peter Mendenhall; there- i fore Mendenhall was only indebted to tc appellant for a mule. S In no wise can a mule be considered ~ an "advance to be "expended" upon ti the soil which produces the crop. The labors of a mule might very properly be considered a necessary supply for the production of a crop; but a mule ti instead of being worn out and ren- t dered useless in producing a crop, may ti be in much better condition and more valuable after the crop is made than b before. The so-called lien on the crop of ti Peter Mendenhall held by the appel- ai ti laut is void.t The question raised by the third ti ground of appeal is not necessary to a al full and proper decision of this case. tI The motion must be dismissed.g Governor Chamberlain in for ?

That small farms are more easily anaged than large ones, and for that ason are far more profitable, few will spute. Yet the mania exhibits itself the desire to own and plant largely. re have lately read some pointed flections on this subject from the ashville Union and American, which onfirm our views, and as they are rticularly applicable at this period the history of agriculture, we are instrained to call attentiou to them. s a proof that small farms properly and telligently cultivated and managed ) pay not only in profit, but in satis etion, it is only necessary to cite the tse of a farmer in Iowa, who writes the Department of Agriculture that is running a farm of forty acrfes,, ith twenty under cultivation in ftuit, getables and small grain, and his come he is proud to acknowlelg is )out $2,000 a year. "The more industry and intuilect ie puts into an acre of soil, the more oney he is likely to take out of it. I is judgment should tell him what -ops will pay best in the nariets ithin bis reah, with a small farm ose in hand, small taxes. and small tgo for labor, feed, and working ock. There is both art and good mse in keeping down expenses on ie farm, and in other branches of isiness. "Success in tillage and hiusbandry speuds on the capacity of the human rain, rather than on the size of one's lantation. One family, by skill, idustry and economy, becomes rich, y cultivating twenty acres only, while 1ther family grows poor by the bad anagemenut of 2,000 under the plow. is not the pursuit, but the man, iat is a failure. The farmer often rasps more acres than he can handle the best advantage, and all a ore or less slighted at certain times id seasons to the injury of his cash come.

MR. EDITOR-In your last issue we noti:-e an article from Little Far wer in re.ply to our communication of the week previous. which, we must confezs, surprised us much. In the first place, we are no 'king over the small farmers," nor have we "cotton on hand," except a few bales. nor "on th brain" either, nor "good whiskey," nor are we of "unsound mind," nor l we wish to make any "change about our locality," nor are we any thing but a little farwer ourself. Little Farnier says he believes we are a broad.neuth-a rrow-shooting-deceit. ful emnmy." We have nothing per SIP1nal against the individual to whom we !,lluded in our e-ornunication, buVtr having had a dispute with him it Cur life, nor had any dealings with liim wjl.tever. It seems strange that L:tle Farimer is so morbialy sensative. We alladed to no man who bought a bal- of cotton froim our negroes at t; 'cl)(k in the evening. and paid forig.ux dollars for it, and afterwards caught the thieves, but we referred to a man who bought a bale at the dead hours of night from two negroes for twelre dollars iu trade. Any one with a spoonful of sense can see plainly that if Little Farmer tells the truth this does not apply to him, but he seems bent on "wearing the shoe" as badly as he pretends it fits him. It is very clear, Mr. Editor, fit or no fit, it wt pinches him wretchedly, if we are to judge from his coutortions and twist. C-. ings. We are afraid if Little Farmier lou't be cautious his neighbors will apply the old 'adage to him, that "a gmilty conscience needs no accuser." It is astoaishing that Little Farmer, when we consider what a prodigy of honor he proved himself to be, in atuiin- the thieves with whom he ad dealt, should take our accusation to himself, when according to his own tale it don't apply to him at all. We wrote our conmmunieation with no pri vato ill to any one, but only to arouse attention to this nefarious traffic in cotton at night. Little Farmer thinks we ought to be sent through the Flint iill to refine our language. He should rec!)leet that refined luguage is not app'icable to thieves. But why should he take our unrefined language to him self, when he had proved to the world his immaculate purity of character, by catching thieves from whom he had received stolen goods? FAR MER.

It is not difficalt to alarm the timnid, and invalids are proverbially so. Aware of this fact, the venders of pseudo bitters, "en tirely ree from alcohol," have raised a false er.) against tonic preparations containing spirits ad no doubt have frightencd a few sick folk into purchasing the fer mented rubbish whicl they sel!, and which is infinitely more injuri. ous than the viiest drains dtrunk at tavert bars. But already a tremendous reaction ha: set in agaiinst these abominable nostrums, which, being devoid of the alcoholic basi: which alone prevents liquid botanic prepara tions from turning sour, decompose almos1 as soon made. H stetter's Stomach Bittrr has lived and will live down multitudes of uchi imapostures. A regular recurrence of the demand for the great alterative invigo rant from those who have always been its pa:ons, shows us that they have not swerved in the time-honored allegiance to America': most popular remedy; and a constant influx of new orders demon.atrates how little Im pression, after all, the blatant denunciations of the mock bitters men have made upon the general public. So long as Hostetter's Bitters continue to cure and prevent mtermittent and remit tent fevers, dy.spepsia, constipation, kidney disease, and the numerous other ail ments to which they are adapted, they will continue to dominate the factious opposition of humbugs, and that will be just as long as they are manufactured and sold. Be it known unto all bogus nostrum venders, of every degree of audacity and knavery, tfiat they can never hope to puff themselves intc favor at the expense of Hostter's Bitters, the reputation otf which is founded, as it were, upon a rock.
