Disposed of.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 14,1877.
The unprovoked killing of Lieutenant
Mein tyre, of the Second Infantry, and
private Sutherland by the illicit distillers
has caused the intensest excitement in
military circles here. The bushwhacking
volley that killed those men was the first
that has ever been fired by the distillers
against regular United States troops.
Time aud again they have riddled the
deputies, but heretofore they have always,
scattered in confusion upon the approach
of the blue coats.
This audacious attack, so unexpected
and so deplorable incite results, will has?
ten into immediate execution a plan that
has long been ripening in revenue circles
to make a grand raid through the in?
vested belt and sweep it clean. As this
systematic crusade is apt to be protracted
and full of desperate work it has occurred
to your correspondent that it would be
well to furnish some facts concerning the
strip of couutry that is held by the illicit
distillers and touching the habits of these
lawless men themselves.
* * ?^BfMliMiaT distillers.- -' '
I doubt if any section was ever so thor?
ough! infested with illicit dealers as is
the mountainous region running through
North Georgia and the western end oi
-both the Carolinas at the present time.
Italy, in the palmiest days of brigandage,
never 'had. one-half as many men who
were defying justice. They bauut every
hillside during the night time and peo?
ple the friendly shadows of every vale
during the day. They have regular
camps, with sentiuels thrown out to halt
all passers by and throttle the revenue
spie?. The mountains are filled -with
caves and "burrows," in which the
wretched men hide when pursuit be
conies*toov hot nhtf the pursuers are of
overwhelming strength. It is impossible
to calculate as to the number of these
illicit distillers ; there are thousands of
them; they swarm.amid the almost im?
penetrable fastnesses of the Blue Ridge
chain of mountains in countless bands.
Bryond the reach of railroads, way be?
yond even the desultory stretch of "the
wagon roads," where they can be reached
by horsemen or pedestrians only through
certain hidden paths, they plant their
primitive "stills" in Datural or artificial
"snuggeries,.", and soon have "crooked"
whiskey gushing from every rock. They
live as wild and restless a life as the trap?
pers of the upper Rocky Mountains.
They are all well armed and of course
good hunters. A more athletic, hardy
and self-reliant people can be found no?
where. The mountains abound with
game of all sort, even up to bear and
panthers. The distillers are about the
only inhabitants of these inaccessible]
parts, and bold them inviolate by a sort
of Alexander Selkirk title.
how visitors abe treated.
Occasional parties of hunters from the
cities stray into these mountains, and as
soon as they make it perfectly clear that
they are in no wise conuected with the
revenue service, are received with the
most cordial hospitality. Guides are
furnished them and the best game haunts
are freely poiuted out. They are hand?
somely entertained by the outlaws, and
are regaled with what is peculiarly ex?
hilarating to--a Southerner?namely,
home made rye wbiskey^hafr was distilled
in a mountain clett, under the winking
stars, and has never been debased by one
of Uncle Sam's revenue stamps. But a
man who looks like a revenue informer,
or has not clear titles to being a "good,
square man," had better not venture into
this wilderness. Our brawny rustics feel
no more hesitation in "shucking" a reve?
nue informer or auy man who looks like
one than you would have in kicking a
pebble from your path. They are h law
unto themselves up tbere. Not long
since the State Geologist, with a force of
some ten men, carried in three wagons,
struck one of these mountain "nests,"
and without suspecting that his labors
were being carefully spied upon from be?
hind every'Bush went quietly to work.
The distillers stood it for some time, and
tbeu coming out in some force they noti?
fied the astonished scientist that he must
get up and travel. After some argument
he succeeded iu convincing them of his
thoroughly pacific designs, and was then
not only permitted to proceed, but was
almost overwhelmed with various sorts
of "rocks" that the simple-hearted moun?
taineers would bring to bis camp.
extent of operations.
Some idea of the extent of one of these
"squads" may be had wheu we state that
the revenue officers, with a company of
troops ta back them, frequently destroy.
from forty to fifty stills and from 10,000
to 20,000 gallons of crooked whiskey,
besides capturing anywhere from twenty
to eighty distillers at one single raid.
The great bulk of illici t distilling is done,
however, in a much quieter and more un?
obtrusive way than this. In the vast
area of the section of the three States re?
ferred to the settlement is very sparse,
and the people as a class exceedingly
poor. The enormous profit of distilling,
"without the ceremony of a stamp," has
tempted great numbers of these squalid
people to engage in the business. As a
consequence there are little stills, tucked,
away snugly ' under the overhanging
banks of nearly every creek or branch.
Hundreds, of families have their worm!
at work somewhere, the wife or daughter,
usually stationed on some adjacent hill?
top to announce by a hoot or whistle the
coming of strangers, aud the father man?
aging the "still" with bis rifle thrown
into the bend of his arm ready to make
it "speak" to any new comer this side of
a blue coat. The whiskey thus made is
carefully packed away in old-fashioned
wagons, frequently being hidden under a
load of chickens and eggs, and carted off
to a neighboring town or to the city of
Atlanta, where it is quietly and surrepti?
tiously sold.
origin of the business.
The origin of this illicit business is
given as follows by a legislator from one
of the counties in which it is most prac?
ticed: When the strife over secession
began it was discovered that there were a
large number of Union men in the moun?
tain districts of Georgia, Tennessee and
the Caroliuas. These men clung to their
faith even after the States seceded.
There, then, very naturally arose an ugly
spirit against these Unionists, which
grew so strong finally that many of them
were forced to take to the woods fo save
their lives- They were soon joined by
large numbers of deserters from the two
armies and by refugees from the Confed?
erate Conscript law, who found an easy
hiding place in the mountains. They
were hunted by the authorities with great
fierceness during the war, and soon won
the euphonious title of "hogbacks."
Having nothing better to do during their
enforced outlawry they nearly all became
distillers,, and finding it very profitable
have kept it up to the preseut time.
They were reinforced at the close of the
war by many soldiers who had been made
utterly penniless and had no other open?
ing for a living.
character of revenue officials.
The practice of illicit distilling has
been increased rather than checked in
the post ten years' by reason of the class
of men who have been employed to put
it down. The revenue collectors, agents
aud marshals* are almost without excep?
tion either aliens (carpet-baggers) or na?
tive Republicans who have made them?
selves, outside of their revenue relations,,
thoroughly obnoxious to the white peo?
ple. The sevenue spies, or informers afe*
almost universally - of -the -wprst class ? cf
local by'mmeftv .enjoying. the cordial
d?tttofpt ?f aH^?odp'?o'pte 'atfd &? *e

and angered the people; they have torn
innocent people from; their beds and car?
ried them hundred* of miles under arrest;
they are charged with haviug taken pay
for issuing pardons granted by the gov?
ernment, with having murdered^ unof?
fending citizens under cover of'Uv; with
having insulted women and maltreated
men, and they are consequently despised
and hated with the utmost bitterness.
So thorough is the public hatred of these
fellows that the sentiment of the people
is always against them and with the dis?
tillers. In thin way an apparent respec
' lability is given to the lawless practice
that has encouraged hundreds of people
otherwise perfectly respectable to embark
in it. Whole communities who have no
interest whatever in "crooked" whiskey
yet sympathize so thoroughly with the*
distillers as against the "informers" that
they hinder the latter in their search in
every way frequently combining to ride
him on a rail, duck him in a mill pond
or treat him to a suit of tar and
feathers.
THE PRESIDEN TIA L CONTEST.
Indeed, it is hardly too much to say
that this matter of illicit distilling went
very far toward deciding the late Presi?
dential contest, as follows: In North
Carolina Zeb Vance, who bore the Tilden
banner as gubernatorial candidate, was
.exceedingly unpopular in the Western
counties. ?s the war'Gbvernorof North
' Carolina he had prosecuted these Union
hogbacks with great severity and they
were thoroughly incensed with him. It
was said that he even put their wives to
torture to make them tell where their
husbands were. In the Senatorial con
15t.ofl874, after Vance had received the
e members from these counties holted,
and, joining with the Republicans,
elected Memman. It was believed that
these counties would vote against Vance
and thus give the State to Settle and
Hayes. Vance, however, prepared a
bitter invection against the system of
revenue spies, and, bottling a huge Kan?
sas grasshopper in a bottle of brandy, as
a type of the "jn/ortner," he.went into
the disaffected district' and swept it tike
a whirlwind. Tbat was all the argument
needed. In their hatred of the spies
they forgot their animosity to Vance.
A candidate for United State* Senator
in Georgia busied himself in asking for
a general pardon for all offenders against
the revenue laws, and it was gravely said
that this action would secure to him the
unanimous support of the members from
the mountain counties.
A BLOODY STRUGGLE ANTICIPATED.
The most ^careful <rt>Mwers ^anticipate
a long and bloody struggle i n the coming
attempt to extinguish the distillers. It
will be marked by man? a murderous
ambuscade, many a deadly midnight
struggle. The people of these infested
counties have been badly treated. The
corrupt and inefficient corps of deputies
have been, time and again, charged wit?*
the most infamous outrages, many of
, which are true beyond question. Many
innocent men have been wantonly dis?
turbed and whole communities embit?
tered and angered, at the cruelty and
meanness of these deputies and inform?
ers. There have been uumberless fights
already. There is hardly, a deputy in
active service who nns not been wounded
time and again. The distillers usually
escape with slight injury. They gener?
ally outnumber the deputies and put
'them to flight, or, having to fly them?
selves, find ready and easy retreat in any
jof the thousand mountain fastnesses with
'which they are familiar and which are
inaccessible to strangers and even im
preew^lft^o^ri.armed troop. A, hun?
dred .or so of these wiry athletes, 'scat?
tered about in this chain of mountains
and possessing the active sympathy of
the entire population, will make it ex?
ceedingly interesting to a regiment of
I soldiers before they are taken. ,
The killing of Emery by a soldier, who
took the body of the murdered man and
carried it off and hid it in a swamp, is the
climax of a long list of grievances^some
imaginary, but more real, that has infu?
riated them.
The firing on this company of soldiers,
quietly encamped in a yard at night/
shows that a very ugly spirit is aroused.
While the distillers treated the deputies
and informers cruelly often, putting all
sorts of indignities on them, they have
never before resisted, much less attacked,
regular United States soldiers. The dar?
ing and audacious spirit inspired by their
wild mountain life has evidently taken
possession of the "crooked" men. They
will not give up their enormously profita?
ble business, so well suited to their habits,
without a stern resistance.
THE STATE AUTHORITIES.
< It is needless to say that the authori?
ties of the State and the great mass of the
people denounce lawlessness in every
shape, and that Governor Colquitt will
do all that can be done to bring the mur?
derers of Lieutenant Mclntyre to jus?
tice.
The first thing that should be dene in
this matter is to remove the whole corps
of deputies now serving and put in good
men, whom the people respect, and whose
hands will be upheld. The, reply of
Marshal Smyth (a most admirable o?cer
by the way) to this suggestion; was: "
"But I cannot get the class of men you
speak of to serve as deputies. They con?
sider the business disreputable and will
have nothing to do with it."
It would certainly be well if the col?
lection of the revenue tax could be pnt
in the bands of the people thoroughly in
sympathy with the communities from,
which they are collected. u

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cultivation of Tobacco.
cultivation of new land.
The main secret is to keep it clean and
well stirred. In new land this may be
done by two good workings in the proper
time, though a third working will often
Erove beneficial. If the land is freshly
illed, about two weeks after planting,
the hills should be scraped down, and a
little fresh earth drawn around each
plant. About three weeks after this it
should be hilled up, and in ordinary cases
this will be sufficient, except to keep
down the sprouts that may put up. To?
bacco ought not to be worked after top
{>ihg, as it will bruise and break the
eaves. Plowing new smooth land once
(at the last working) is of service ,* but if
it is rough and stumpy, keep a plow out
of it altogether.
cultivation of old land.
Old land requires more work than new.
As soon as the plants get sufficient hold,
harrow up your cultivator, so as not to
disturb the roots, and go through it once
for the first hoeing. Then cut up the re?
maining grass and weeds with a hoe, and
level the soil around the plants, stirring
it slightly. In ten days or a fortnight,
go over it with a plow or cultivator, twice
in a row, using ashortsingle-treetoavoid
injuring the plants. This time you ean
stir the ground more around the plants,
and should hill them slightly in hoeing,
being careful not to cover any of the
leaves. After this it is better to perform
all work with hand labor, in order to
sore the plants from injury. Stir the
ground with a hoe as often as is necessa?
ry to keep down the weeds.
worming.
If the worms are numerous, the plants
should be thoroughly examined at least
twice a week. Destroy not only the
worms, but all the eggs that can be found;
or, what is still better, seek out and de?
stroy the flies that deposit these eggs.
These flies are gray in color, with yellow
spots on each side of the body, and may
be found about sunset flittering about the
weeds and flowers, extracting their juices
by means of their peculiar tongue, which
is four or five inches in length. The
Jamestown weed, or "Jimpson" weed^ as
i it is commonly called, which bears a
white bell-shape ? blossom, is very attrac?
tive to these flies. Many of them may
be destroyed by dropping a little of the
following mixture into these blossoms:
One ounce of cobalt, dissolved in one
pint of 'water and sweetened with some
I sort of syrup. But this is equally as fatal
to the blossoms as to the flies; therefore
we give you the following instructions
for making an artificial substitute, which
will prove to be more durable than the
natural flower and quite as effective.
The ladies can best perform this work, as
they happily possess more taste and skill
in such matters:
^Procure for their use a quire of white
paper and a bottle of mucilage. Then
make a small block .of suitable size and
shape, on which to form the cone, and
furnish them with a natural flower to im?
itate. If you have no blossom of the
Jamestown weed; let them try their pow?
ers of imitation in making a "morning
j glory." After forming the cone, clip it
around the rim and curl it slightly, to
make it look as much like a flower as
possible. Attach them to branches or
bushes, and place them in your thickest
j growth of tobacco. They should be sup?
plied with a few drops of the poison ev?
ery evening and it may be necessary to
[ replace the flowers after a heavy rain.
By following the above instructions you
will save much trouble in worming. A
flock of turkeys will also be found very
useful in catching and destroying worms,
and can only be equalled by children to
whom premiums have been offered.?

Some Points About Fal Horses.
A fat horse is a proportionately weak
horse. Fat is an oily matter, itself unen?
dowed with life or sensibility, contained
in cells, as honey is within the honey?
comb, which are vital, aud so endowed
I that they lose the power either of adding
[ to or taking from the quantity of oily
I matterat anytime existing. The use of
fat is to fill up crevices in the body,
facilitate the movements of parts one
upon another, and serve as a sort of in?
ternal nutriment, in case the animal
should be in a situation where he can
not obtain food; but, wheu it accu?
mulates, instead of facilitating the mo?
tions of parts, it clogs and impedes them,
and becomes, from its collected amount
of freight, a burden to the body. A fat
horse is not only unfit to go, out really
has a weight within himself to carry
which the horse in condition for work
has been disencumbered of. A fat horse
will not bear the loss of blood the same
as a hdrse in a working state of body;
the one will faint from the abstraction of
a quantity which the other will stand
without' being affected. Plumpness,
which-arises from fatness, is too apt to
convey to the eyes of the inexperienced
the impression of strength and ability to
go to work, whereas it ought, we repeat,
be taken as a proof to the contrary.
When a buyer enters a dealers yard to
buy a horse, every horse shown him most
likely?certainly every horse four or five
years old?is fat, and, therefore, not in
condition for work. Dealers?by quanti?
ties of grain and sometimes by means of
Eoisonous nostrums and by giving their
orses only such little walking exercise
as serves to keep their legs from swelling
?make the horses they hare for sale as
fat as they can, and for two reasons.
First, fat fills up the crevices and con?
ceals auy imperfections there may be of
outward form. It is the, horse dealer's
putty; by it, like the coach-maker or the
furniture-maker, he makes his article for
sale appear more perfect or freer from
defect than it really is. Secondly, by it
he gives an appearance of size and bulk
to the article which passes for sign o'.
strength .and. ability, but which, as we
said before, is in reality a condition of
weakness.
%nfeiir.anure vs. Long Manure.
Mr. Ives, a successful New York farmer,
says:
I have come to believe, from repeated
experience in practice, that by applying
the manure while in a raw or fresh state,
if it is only fine enough to mix well with
the soil, it will do the most good that it
ever will; though possibly a load might
go farther after being fermented and rot?
ted down, for in doing that the weight
and bulk is very much reduced. By ap?
plying it while comparatively fresh, the
process of rotting is done where its good?
ness is all saved in the soil, like the vege?
table matter from a good turf, or a clover
crop, or from any vegetable growth
plowed under for green manuring. We
are told by scientific men that these?the
unfermented manure as well as the green
vegetable matter?go through a slow pro?
cess of fermentation while rotting in the
soil, so that all their qualities are saved,
and I believe that the farmer using cut
feed, so that all the material that goes to
make the manure heap in fine, would
find no advantage in letting it ferment
or rot before using it, when with long
coarse manure he must of necessity put
it through that process to have it short
enough to use.
I might also state that the amount of
manure I obtain ; .rly averages about
teu loads per head of horses aud cattle
kept; the horses being kept up through
the year, and the cattle six to seven
months bosides being taken in every
night through the summer. All the ma?
nure is kept under shelter, and the horse
manure so mixed with that of the cattle,
and trodden down, that it seldom heats
before it is drawn out for use. Ten loads
to the acre, spread from the wagon as I
draw it, is th e wav I generally -ose it.

Stock-Law.
effect on the west.
The necessity of enclosing with a fence
is the bane of Western farming. A man
buys a quarter section, and is compelled
to make either one or two miles of fence
?the quantity depending on the circum?
stance whether he "joins fences" or not.
He may wish to raise wheat and keep no
stock; but he is compelled to fence just
the same, to defend himself against his
neighbor's cattle. If they have not more
than fifty head, it will be cheaper for him
to go upon their farms and enclose their
pastures, than to build hit own boundary
fence.
The squatter finds to his amazement
that his fence will coat five times as much
as his land did?not less than four hun?
dred dollars a mile. He has teams, tools
and boys sufficient to raise fifty to a hun?
dred acres of wheat, but not having
money enough to fence it, is driven to
the alternative of renting of others, and
letting his own rich land lie idle. Farm?
ers can about as well afford to pay ten
dollars per acre for a farm, and be
obliged to fence only enough to restrain
their own stock, as to pay five dollars per
acre, and be compelled to fence against
the stock of the State.
Many men who rent all their lives,
would buy land and pay for it, were it
not for the serious expense of fencing.
The writer in the Illinois Report, already
quoted, says: "About three-fourths of
all the 'cussin' in Illinois may be fairly
charged to the practice of fencing crops,
rather than stock. Had Illinois passed a
law thirty, twenty, or even ten years
since, that stock should be fenced, or
otherwise taken care of by their owners,
I. dp not believe there would be an acre
Of good prairie uncultivated in the State.
I know this is a strong statement when
we think how many acres of the best
land in the State are yet 'lying out,' but
those who have lived in the State but the
last ten years have seen miles of prairie
come under the plow! right "around them,
even under the crop fencing1 incobus.
During the wheat mania of a few years
since, a large portion of the prairies of
central Illinois would have been turned
bottom Ride up, had it not been for the
expense of fencing. * * * *
We have spent millions of dollars in
Michigan pine to keep our corn and
wheat from going off our farms to prey
on our neighbors' hogs and cattle I"
Under a uniform law compelling every
man to take care of his stock, and in?
suring him against harm from bis neigh?
bors, it is certain that the population of
the Western States would have been some
millions greater than now, while their
wealth would have proportionately in?
creased. Moreover, the farms would
have been better cultivated, the houses
better built, the barns larger and more
comfortable, and. the average stock of
purer breed and higher quality. Let
[ every Legislature say to every settler,
"Take care of yonr "own stock, and we
I will see that your neighbor takes care of
his," and two farms will be opened
along the frontier where one now is.
The West seems to be perversely blind
to its own interest in this matter; but it
will not much longer be "the poor mau's
asylum/' unless it shall open its eyes,
and, by relieving him of. the enormous
"fence tax," place the virgin soil within
his reach.
inj?8tice of the present system.
The proof of the bad economy and the
bad policy of our present system of fenc?
ing, has suggested, also, its injustice. To
compel A to fence against B'? cattle, is
morally and socially wrong. It inverts
the relation of things. It takes property
from A without rendering him an equiv?
alent. Corn, wheat, fruit trees, vegeta?
bles, stay at home quietly, trespassing on
nobody, and interfering with nobody.
Shall we put the orauB of fencing on
stationary or on locomotive property?
Shall we burden with the cost of fencing
the man whose property stays where it is
put, and cannot get away ? or en the man
whose property has legs, home and grind?
ers, with a graniverous appetite ?
The writer in the Illinois Report asks :
"Is there any good reason why one man
should be compelled to build from one to
ten miles of fence to protect his crops
from his nighbors' stock, when such
neighbors might do it with one-tenth the
fence ? Can any one give me a good rea?
son why the law should be that a man
shall stand guard over his one hundred
and sixty acres of grain, rather than his
neighbor over his one cow? Does, or
does it not, seem right that every man
shall take care of his own stock ? On
this hinges the whole question. My idea
is that every man shall take care of his
own stock ; and, as a corollary, that he
shall be compelled to make only so much
or so little fence as necessary to do that
thing."
the law of fencing.
"Law," says Blackstone, "is a rule of
society, authorizing what is right and
forbidding what is wrong." So we shall
not expect to find the law, in the present
case, commanding what has been shown
to be flagrantly unjust. We ate not dis?
appointed. The common law does not
require any man to fence against stock.
Its spirit is to make every owner of stock
responsible for all depredations that it
shall commit.?Helping Hand;
Selling the Old FABir?Therc is a
constant buying and selling of farms go?
ing on from year to year in our country.
This restlessness on the part of the farm?
er, and this desire to change a present
location for another one, hundreds of
miles off, is so frequently witnessed-in
our day that we cease to wonder at it In
the time of onr forefathers, when a man
was settled on a farm, he commonly con?
tinued on it throhgh life, and then left it
for his son. In times zone by, the same
farm was first occupied by the grand?
father, and so on by son and grandson.
Then the good old homestead was rever?
enced and the occupancy of it was es?
teemed a great privilege. There was a
satisfaction felt by the successor that his
predecessor was his relative, cultivated
the same fields, wandered by the same
brooks, traversed the same hills, and ate of
the fruit of the same orchard. Then there
was a home feeling, home associations,
aud home attachments. Now the farmer
looks more to his pecuniary gains, and
when offered a large price for his land,
hesitates not to sell. He quits his beau?
tiful home, his well-cultivated acres, emi?
grates to the far West, and commences a
life of hardship that he never dreamed of.
It can safely be said that where one man
succeeds in his undertaking many fail.
If he could only sell his new farm how
gladly would he hie back to the old home,
now occupied by strangers, and the en?
closure, Which contains the graves of his
kindred, going to ruin. With the advent
of spring, many will dispose of their
farms and remove to a far off country, to
undergo the privations and troubles inci?
dent upon establishing a home in a new
country. Our advice is to remain where
you are. If you are comfortably off, be
contented to remain so. Do not ex?
change a certainty for an uncertainty,
unless powerful reasons-are brought to
bear upon you to seek a new settlement
in a distant region. Stick to the old
farm, for it has never failed you in the
time of need.
