The unprovoked killing ol Lieutenant
McIntyre, of the Second Infantry, and
private Sutherland by the illicit distillers
has caused the intenses', excitement in
military circle* herc. The bushwhacking
volley that killed those men was the firtt
that bas ever been fired by the distillers
against regular United State? ^WP*.
Time and again tin v buve riddled thc
deputies, but hereto'bre they have always
scattered in confusion upon the approach
of tho blue coats.
This audacious attack, so unexpected
and so deplorable in Us results, Will has
ten into immediate execution a plan tbnt
lins long been ripening in revenue circles
to make a grund 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 bas occurred
to your correspondent that it would be
well to furnish some facts concerning the
strip of country that is held by the illicit
distiller* and touching the habits of these
lawless men themselves.

the mountainous region running through
North Georgia and the western end ol

were defying justice. They munt every

camps, with sentinels thrown out to halt
all passers by and throttle the revenue
spies. The mountains ate filled willi
caves and "burrowa," in which tin

lo calculate a? to tho number of these
illicit distillers; there are thousands ol

They are all well armed and of couta

HOW VISITOR* AUK TREATED.
Occasional parties of hunters from tb
cities struy into these mountain'), and n
soon a? the^ make it perfectly clear tho
tbny aro in no wiso connected with th
revenue service, aro received with th
most cordial hospitality. Guides ar
furnished them and tho best game hnunl
aro freely pointed out. They ure hunt]
soundy entertained by the outlaws, au
arc regaled with what is peculiarly e:
hilaratmg to- a Southerner-nnmel]
home made ryri whiskey that wits distille
in a mountain clett, under the winbin
stare, sud h&s never b?on dsbssed by oi?
of Uncle Sam's revenue stamps. 6ut
man who looks like a revenue, informe
or has not clear tillea to boing n "gooi
square man," had better not ventura int
this wilderness. Our brawny rustics fei
no more hesitation in "shucking" n revi
nuc informer or any man who looks lil
one than you would havo in kicking
pebble from your path. They are a ia
unto themselves up there. Not lon
since the State Geologist, with a force <
some ten men, carried in three wagon

and without suspecting that his laboi
were being carefully spied upon from bi

I Carolina Zeb Vance, who bore the Tilden
banner as gubernatorial candidate, waa
oscccdingly unpopular in the Western
counties. Aft the war Governor of North
Carolina be h?d proa?'cuted these Union
hogbacks willi great severity and they
were thoroughly incensed with him. It
was said that he even put their wives to
torturo to raak* them tell where-their
husbands were. 1 the Senatorial con

tnorn'emfers from these cou (tu es c :
and, joining with the Republicana,
elected Merriman. It was believed tlw.t
those counties would vote Against Van a
and thus give the State tn Bettie n? J
Hayes. Vance, however, prepared a
bitter invection against the nystem of
revenue spies, and, nettling a huge Kan
?aa grasshopper in n bottle of brandy, as
n tyne of tho "informer," he went into
tho disaffected district and swept it like
a whirlwind. That wa? all the argument
needed. In their hatred of the opie*
they forgot their animosity to Vance.
A candidate for United State? Senator
in Georgia busied himself in a*jcing for
a general pardon for nil offender* again*!
tho revenue lars, and it wa* gravely said
that this action would secure to him thc
unanimous Hupport of the member* from
the mountain counties.
A BLOODY 8TRU00I.E ANTICIPATED.
The moat.careful observer* anticipate
a long and bloody struggle in the coming
attempt to extinguish the distiller*. It
will be marked ny mauj a murderous
ambuscade, many a deadly midnight
struggle. The people of these infected
counties have been badly treated. The
corrupt and inefficient corp* of deputiei
have been, time and again, charged with
tile mast infamous outrages, many ni
which uro true beyond question. Many
innocent men have bceu wantonly dis

tered and angered, at the cruel.y and
meanness of these deputies and inform
en. There have been numberless fight?
already. There h hardly :t deputy ir
activo service who na* not been wounded
time and ogaia. The distillers usually
escape with slight injury. They gener
ally outnumber thc deputies and put
them to flight, or, having to fly them

EroVe benenc>sl. If the lana is freshly
Hied, about two weeks after planting,
the hills should he scraped down, and a
little fresh earth drawn around each
plant. About three weeks after this it
should be Ml tod QR, and in ordinary case*
this will be sufficient, except to keep
dunn the sprouts that may put up. To
bacco ought not to be worked arter ton
ping, rut it will bruise end break the
leaves. Plowing new smooth land once
(at the last working) is of service ; but if
it is rough abd stumpy, keep a plow out
of yafUvetper.
; . CULTIVATION OP OLP LAN?).
Old land requires more work than new.
Aa soon as the plant", 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 noe, and
level thc soil around thc plants, stirring
it slightly. In ten days or a fortnight,
go ?ver it with n plow or cultivator, twice
in a row, using a short single-tree to avoid
injuring the plants. This time you can
stir the ground more around the plants,
and should hill them slightly in ho'ing,
being careful not to cover any of the
leaves. After this it i* better to perform
all work with hand labor, in order to
?ave the plants from injury. Stir the
ground with a hoe as often as is necessa- j
ry to keep down thc weeds.
WORMING.
If the worms are numerous, thc plauts
should be thoroughly examined at least
twice a week. Destroy not only the
worms, but all the eggs that cart be found ; 1
or, what is still better, seek out and de
stroy the flies that deposit these eggs. .
These flies sre pray in color, with yellow
spots on each side of the body, sud may
bc found about ?unset flittering about the
weeds and flowers, extracting their juices
hy means of their peculiar tongue, which
is four or five inches in length. The
Jamestown weed, or "Jimpaon weed, as
lit in commonly called, which bear? a
whith bell-shape blossom, is ver i attrac
tive tb these flies. Many nf them may
be destroyed by dropping u little of thc
following mixture into these blossoms:
One ounce of cobalt, dissolved in one
pint nf water and sweetened with some
sort nf syrup. Hut this is equally as fatal
to thc blossoms as to the flies; therefore
wc give you the following instructions
for making an artificial substitute, which
will prove to bc more dumble than the
natiirai flower and quite os effective.
Thc ladies can best perform this work, as
they happily possess more taste and skill
in such matters :
Procure fur their usc a quire of white
paper und n bottle of mucilage. Then
make a small block of suitable sice and
shape, on which to form thc cone, and
furnish them with a natural flower to im
itate. If you have no blossom of the
Jamestown weed; let thom try their pow
ers sf imitation In making r. "morning
glory." After forming tho cone, clip it
around the rim and curl it slightly, to
make it look as much like a flower as
Eawi bio. Attach them to branches or
unties, and place them in your thickest
growth of tobacco. They should be sup
plied with a few drops of thc poison cv
ery.evening and it-may be necessary to
replace the flowers after a heavy rain.
By following tho above instructions you
will save much trouble in warrain*. A

Some Points About Fat Horses.
A fat horse is a proportionately weuk
horse Fat is an oily mutter, itself unen
dowed with life or sensibility, contained
in cells, as honey is within the honey
comb, which aro vital, and so endowed
that they lose the power cither of adding
to or* taking from the quantity of oily
milter it anytime existing. The use of j
fat is to flit .up-, crevices io the body,
facilitate the niovcmenta of parts one
upon another, ?nd'serve as a sort of In
ternal nutriment, in cnee tbo animal
should be it; a situation where he cac
not .obtain food; but, wheu it accu
mulate?, instead of facilitating the mo
tions of parts/ it clogs and impedes them,
and becomes, from itc collected amount
of freight, a burden to th?, body. A fat
hone ia not only unfit to go, but 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- bene id a working state of budy ;
the one will faint from the abstraction of |
s Quality which the other will stand
without b?ing affected. Plumpness,
which arises from fatness, is too apt to
convey to the eyes of tho inexperienced
tho impression ofttrcpgth and ability to
Eto work, ?Jr berco* it alight, we repeat,
taken as a proof to the contrary.
When a buyer enters a dealers yard to
bay a horse, every horse shown him most
likely-certainly every horde mur or five
years old-is fay anti, therefore, bet fa
condition for work. Deabrs-r-by quanti
ties of grain and sometimes by means of j
EoUonous nostrums and by giving their
orees 'only such little walking exercise
asserves to keep their legs fron swelling
-make thc hones they have for sale as
fat ai they caa, and for two reasons.
First, fat fills up the crevices and ?ron
ce?is any imperfections there may be of j
outward form. It is the, horse dealer's
jutty ; by it, like the coach-maker or the
turormaker, he, makes his article for
appear more perfect or freer from
defect than it really is. Secondly, by it
he gives an appearance of size end bulk

EPFKCT OH THE WEST.
Tbs Rece*ity of enclosing with a fence
ia the bane of Western farming. A rann
buys s quarter section, and is compelled
to make either one or two mile? of ien?
-the quantity depending ou tho circum
stance whether he "joins fence*?" or not.
He may wish to raise wheat seri keep no
stock ; but be is compelled to lenee just
the same, to defend himself against hi?
neighbor's cattle. If they have not more
tban fifty bead, it will be cheaper for him
to go upon their farms sud enclose their
pastures, than to build bia own boundary
fence.
The squatter finds to his amatemeu.
tbM bis fence will coat firs times as much
aa his land did-not tess tban four hun?
dred dollar? a mile. He baa teams, toole
and bojv sufficient to raise fifty to s hun
dred acres of wheat, but not having
money enough to fence it, is driven to
the alternative of renting of others, and
letting hi? own rich land li? ?die. Farm
ers can about as well aff-.d to pay ten
dellars per acre for s farm, ans be
obliged to fence only cough to restrain
their own stock, as t" pay five dollars per
acre, and be compelled to fence against
the stock of the State.
Many mer. who rent all their Uves,
would buy land and pay (ot it, were it
not fur the serious expense of fencing.
The writer in thc Illinois Report, already
quoted, naya : "About three-fourths of
all the 'cussin' io Illinois may tie fairly
charged to the practice of fencing crone,
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 do ant believe there would be an acre
of good prairie uncultivated in the State.
I know this is a strong stat^numt when
we think how many acres of the beat
land in the State r.re yet 'lying out,' but
those wbo have lived in thc State but the
Inst ten vars have seen miles of prairie
copie under the ?dow right arpurtfl them,
even under the crop fencirig Incubus.
During the wheat mania ?fa few years
since, a large portion of thc prairies of
central Illinois would have beru turned
bottom side up, had it not been for the
expense of fencing. * * * *
We have spent millions *f 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 ntock{ and in
suring him against harm from bu neigh
bors, it is certain that the population of
tho Western States would have been some
millions greater than now, while their
wealth would have proportionately in
creased. Moreover, the' (arms 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 >onr own stock, and we
will sec that your neighbor takes care of
his," and two farms will be opened
along thc frontier where one now is.
The West seems to be perversely blind
to ita own interest in this matter: but it
will not much longer bc "the poor luau's
asylum." unless il shall open its eyes,

INJUSTICE OF THE PBE8ENT SYSTEM.
The proof of the bad economy and tbs
bad policy of our present system of fenc
ing, has suggested, also, its Injustice. To
compel A to fence against B's cattle, is
morally and socially wrong. It inverts
the relation of things. H takes property
from A without rendering him au equiv
alent. Corn wheat, fruit trees, vegeta
bles, stay at home quiet'y, trespassing on
nobody, and interfering with nobody.
Shall we put the OIDUH of fencing on
stationary or on locomotive property?
Shall we burden with the cost of fencing
the man whose property stays where it ut
Sut, and cannot get away ? Or en the man
'bose property baalegs, horns and grind
ers, '?lib a graniverous appetite?
The writer in the IMinOM Report askr. :
"ia there any good reason why one man
j should bc compelled to build from onoto
j ten miles of fence to protect his cropi
from bin nighbora' stock, when such
neighbors might do it with one-tenth the
fence ? Can any one give me a good rea
I eon 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 oue cow? Does, or
doer it not, seem right that every man
shall take care of his own stock? On
this binges thc whole question. My idea
ia that every mau shall take care of his
j own stock ; and, as s corollary, that he
shall be compelled to make only BO much
or so little fence as necessary to do that
thing." Iv I t
TUE LAW OF FENCING.
"Law," aaya Blackstone, "is a rule of
society, auth?rittag what is right and
forbidding what is wrong." So we shall
not expect to find tho law. in the present
case, commanding what nos been shown
to be flagrantly unjust. Wo aft not dis
appointed. Tat common law docs not
require^ any ^^i* fence agaiisiutod^

SEI una TEE OLD FABM.~-There is a
constant buying and selling of fagans go
1 ingon from year to year jn our country.
Tfcr? raetlesenss? on tfcc jpart of the farm
er, and this desire to ^atnge a present
location for another one, hundreds of
miles off, ia so frequently witnessed-in
our day that we cease to wonder afci^ tl
the timo of our forefather?
was settled! Oh a farm, hoc??
j tinued on it tbrohgh life, and then left it
i for his ?on. In times gone by, the sarao
I farm was first occuplca by the grand
father, and so on by eon and grandson.
Then the good old homestead was rever
enced and the occupancy of it waa es
teemed a great privilege. There was a
satisfaction felt by the successor that. [ "
predecessor waa his relative, cultiva,
the same fields, wandered by the same
brooks, traversed m?same hills, and ate fi
the fruit of the same orchard. Then there
was a home feeling, home associations,
Imd homo attachments. Mow the farmer
oe ka mord tb his pecuniary gains, and
when offered a large price for bia land,
i hesitates not to sell, tie .quits his beau
tiful h ome, his well-tuWvated acre?, emi
Srates to the Tar West, and commences a
fe ol' hardship that bs never dreamed of.
It can safely f?aaf?.sai wiere one mao
succeeds in his undertaking many fail.
If he could only sell his new farm how
Q! ?u ?j r??rild ii? III? U?V-C Ul WJC Oin UODe,
now occupied by strangers, and the en
closure. Which coo tad os the grave* of hi?
kindred, going to ruin. With the advent
of spring, many will disnose of their
tarma and remove to a far off country, to
undergo the privations *nd troubles inci
dent upon establishing w. Homo Ie a new
country. Ocr sdvioo ta to remain where
you ore. If yon ore comfortably off, fae
contented to remain so. Do not ear
change ? certainty for sa uncertainty,
unless powerful reasons raro brought-?s
bear upon you to seek ? new settlement
in a distant region. Stick to thc old
iona, for it hos never foiled you in the
tiro* of need. . r.df*'
