Thc Republicans at Washington seeing and knotting tlc prospect of this continued improvement of our local affairs, und realizing the fact that without m .king war on some of tho Southern States that their power in tho Noith would wane, they bethought themselves to Bet in motion ...orne device by which they might be con tinued in power. In their councils thc groat BUO'iCss which followed their former onslaughts on thc South, was rome tn bored und they, on this account, determined to persecute the Democrats of this State, and by false swearing and a malicious per vondon of fuels, to convict our citizens by pieke?) juries. That the julies were packed, and were drawn for the wicked und malicious purpose of convicting our peop.c for politi cal reasons, wc presume oo one-not even the coull itself-^-will deny.

H ILLINO POTATO KS.-There is some deference of opinion as to tho merit of the level system of cultivating potatoes. The writer prow somo lust year without any hilling whatever, and thc crop wns in every respect ns good us any preceding crops that had been hilled. Some writers urge level cultivation for most hoed crops, potatoes particularly. As thc potato grows bert in moist cool weather, tiny toe!Iud of culture which encourages coolness and moisture is beneficial, while on tho contrary, nny method of culture which encourages (Irs - ness and heat is injurious. If this reason ing be correct, (hen it must be admitted that, hilling is wrong, for it seems that any eui fail to sec tint land which is hilled offers moro surfaire to thc sun and air, that while thc hills where the potatoes are ex pected to grow, will easily dry through, the hollows between having hud ail the pul verized earth scraped off, backed so hard tl a' moisture from below is rapidly eonducted up to tho air; t'ius in two wa s is tho (.?round losing ils coolness and moisture by hilling But so far os polatocs aro con CCaned, a great deni will depend on tho na ture of the ground.
