To Tho Editor?It has peon a subject of "urprise 'o tn" that our planter* have not followed the wise and economical method adopted by the Louisiana pl.iu fers lp the enrichment of their finds, particularly when it cm be don ? horo at one-fourth of the expense th it. it cott the n there. I alln 1 ? to th ? fWtiiizing quality of tho cow pea It has be n tried by some of our farmers near our ?ity audit has been found better, far butter, than any other kind of manure that eoubi be used. Its fertilizing powers are adapted to cotton, corn, und uvory kind of vegetatijn. And then when you think of the case and economy of its adaptation! without tins anxioty an-1^ fear of its provi ig d !??! ? ': ei< IV ? n tho too freo use in it-1 application, (that at tend other fertilizers) it is astonishing that it has not been in ire u-el. There is one orror the Louisiana planter labors under, it is in thinking tint th: eliy pea is better than any other kind, and on this account the price of them has been very high, i have known eight dollars a bushel given for the clay pea, when the black pea. Which h is been tried under the same supervision, has proved to bo mere lixuriant and fertili zing than the clay, and could be bought for one dollar and fifty cents at tb.it very time Now, when you think that it is k.jown that clay p -,n even at eight dol lars abush:l wero cheaper than any oth er kind of manure, how great, then, would be tho economy to the planter iu using the black pea, which can always be bought for so much less'{ I hope that plautcrs will try, and I know they will see tho advautage of this fertilizer, and use it more generally. Gon. John B. Gordon made a little speech at a reeeptioo given him iu Sa vaunah, Oa., a low days ago, closing with the sentiment, "The heroic dead of both armies, who fought for principle and baoked their convictions with their lives. Let both be duly honored " How Uncle John Won His Dog light The Douisville Courier'Journal tells a story of "Uncle Johu,'' a Teuucsseean who was ninbitious to stand at head in every dcpartuieen of the sporting pro fession He succeeded in everything but one. The Spartan inn,keeper had the king dog of all his tribe?a ferocious ''bull" that chawed up and spit out every thing that came along. Uncle John put up fifty dollars in specie on his own Tigc; but if TL'c had gone through a Ciucina ti sausage grinder he ould scarcely have linked more ragged than he did when ho cuiiic out. As wen. the Most, so went the second, faster; till it seemed as if an unmerciful disaster had overtaken. Uncle Johu in the dog line dt last. He traveled many weary railed in seirch of a dog that could whip that tavern-keeper's dog, but all to no purpose. Ho wa9 losing his money fast, and; worse than all ho was losing his temper and paticuce. Faith in the motto, "Try,try again had almost deserted him. He went out on what he avowed was his l ist hunt, nnd w:i6 nearing Spartaon his return late one afternoon, gloomy and dejected lor ho hadn't found the right animal yet, when as good luck would have it, just as ho got within u few miles of that iuu which had been the scene of so muuy disgraceful defeats, he met ? backwoodsman driving an ox team with a great, vicious looking wolf chained behind the wagon. ''I'll giv*? you two dollars and a half lor that critter in hard money proposed Uncle Knho. "5fotenough yet," said backwools. ?:*VelI," said Uncle Johu, fiially, "if you will Iiis I btlp strap him bebnid my saddle and will take five dollars, it's a Undo. l-If 1 don't whip [bat darned taveru k eporS d ?g this time, ho may t ike inj hat for n corn basket " As i( was quit dark when our hern reached lb ? ion, he cautioaajj ifistrap p< 1 the teriibifi beaut, and pitching hi-u ini . .i deserted out h >usc, wfiich fortu ii \t( ly, sto id "hard by, and fastening him in securely, cu'iercd the hotel.

"You really thii.k jou have found him at laet do you?" chuckled the mas ter ol the king of dog?,' ami tipping a sly wink at the crowd, "Well, what do you say to letting tho.u together iu t h : morn ng. ' All right," said tTneie John "I'm bound to be on home early in the moru ing, but if yen will be road directly alter breakfast, I won't mind giving you just one more llfrt, anyhow.'' '1 ho runior soon spread through the village of Spart that a great dog fight was to come off next day at sun risa, and the whole Vicinity was or. the qui vive. Our hero explained that his d ?g was mi US ihtit be was compelled to kcop hiiu closely confined. "HI iim d," said he, "if I bleovo he km ws his own master yit.'. b'o it was arranged that his dog was to remain in the out house?an old crib o'r barn, by the way ?and tha: the other dog was to be utichniued and turned in with hitii at given signal: By daylight cveryboUy was up nnd ready for the fray. The old barn in which Undo John's dog was shut up was so tin k at the hour that only his ' outlines?just enough to indicate that he was "a tdio miff dog"?coiiM be de tected. litis ran bi-h, the odds being j all in favor of tho groat viotor io so many hotly coutested fights. Uncle John staked a round hundred against a like sum of the inn keeper's. Time was called, the ferocious bull dog sniffed his antagonist through the ' cracks of the old barn growled definauce for a moment, and when unchaiued and ' the window opened, he lit in with a siu ' g!c hound. I Ah ! then and there was hurrying to and fro, and flying fur und hj.Otterings of distress, aud cheeks all pitla which h.;t an hour ugo blushed with a quart of rum, or something leas.

Uncle John awaited the issuo with tho oalm dignity of one conscious that he holds four noes in his hand and the fifth up his sleeve: the only cool man on the ground. Hut it didn't last long. Sooner than it takes to tell it, a fiint whine w is heard at the window, aud the shutter was throw a open, aud what w is left of poor hull struggled heavily on tho sill aud fell in a raw lump to tho ground on the out .side, This was the first and last time he ever turned back oil an enemy; I he made one or two nervous kicks, and all was over.

Now, the Tuppcr law impcses.a eon. dition upo' l the vending of what Charles Lamb calls liquid damnation, for which in tho absence of something better, we oujiht to bo thankful. It amounts to prohibition in many cises and localities, and, of course, to the improvement of ibc condition ol society where it is put into force. Some months ago, Che bar rooms in And r-on wore all closed under this law, and what Was better, the cttt zens followed it up with electing to the municipal offices men who were opposed to granting licenses to sell ardent spirits within the corporate limits Good order sobriety, industry and peace are the con sequence in that town, and a drunken man is rarely if seen In it.

If n man sets'up his banner of ?qnor trade, let him be required to t .ko proper tare, or to have the means at baud of taking proper care of the victims to the v r-. iclied hnbit to which he pnuders, and out of which he makes i living.
