The following communication rather
surprises ns. We hare heard at least

highly or wiregrassasdoes Mr. Pearce,

one thing needed to restore Virginia to
prosperity and to attact settlers from

Colonel Knight, or Colonel Ruffin, or
some other expert, on this subject:
Guixky, Va., March 31, 1885.
To the Editor of the Diipatch:
Dear Sir—I have recently moved into
the State, and have read with much
Interest your article in the Weekly of
the 27th instant under the head of "A
Question.” You say: "The history
of the world cannot produce such bar
gains for agriculturists as may be had
in Virginia lands. This state of things
has existed for years. These bargains
have gone a begging. Why?” I think
it is Clause of the want of correct
information amongst the farmers of
the State as to the true value of "wire-
( frsss” (improperly so called, because
t is the genuine ‘‘Bermuda”), which
is universally considered a great curse,
and as for as I have been able to learn
ills without a friend in the State; but
its properties are so valuable it will
stay by its enemies until, in the course
Of time, It will be the redemption of
Virginia, if it is to be saved, of which
I do not doubt. If it had nut been
that I recognized it as the genuine
"Bermuda,” with which I was laminar
(but to be certain that I was not mis
taken, a* It was disputed by a promi
nent breeder of Jersey cattle, sent
eotne to the Country Gentleman for
Identification), I would not have given
a dollar for the whole of Spoltsylvania
county for agricultural purpose* in the
sense ybn doubtless mean —ihut is, for
Wheat, coni, tobacco, etc. People
teem amased when, ill reply to their
qatttiou as to what crops I am going
to raiae, 1 tell them "niregrass,”
add refer them to the stock in my
ho«tse-)ot that have been wintered on
cornstalks and the dead wi regrass
standing in the yard. Two aged cows.
I think, are fotter than any I ever had
. wintered on cornstalks and bluegrnss
in Kentucky, and are fat beeves to-day.
It is conceded by all that "wiregrass”
improve* the soil; the objection to it is
that it cannot be killed by cultivation.
Why kill it, if it will produce more uet
monev to the acre by grazing it than
anything else that can be raised on the
laud? f have, however, very little
doubt that I shall be able to kill it if I
ahonid at any time wish to do so. I
have what is considered one of the beat
Items in the oountv, and the crops of
Wheat and corn raised on it have not
paid expenses for some years, and why
sdll further impoverish it without
profit? The "wlregrasa” patches have
nirnished the best yields of corn and
wheat on the place, as the cornstalks
show.
I know from a gentleman who owned
a Kentacky blaegrass form, and also a
sugar plantation lu Louisiana, that be
'eoneidered a forty acre field of his
"Bermuda” in Louisiana equal to any
one hnndred aud twenty (120) acres
of btuegrass that ne ever saw in Ken
tucky. And I think one aero of the
"Wlragraas** iu my yard here will fur-
uiah more grazing than the best two
(2) acres or blaegiOM in Kentucky or
auv where else.
If the land on tho railroad between
Richmond and Washington is a fair
■ample of the Btate, I do not think
' either foreign or northern emigrants
sbooid he Invited into Virginia, unless
ttef how means to pay for laud,
foocea, and to live while plsuting and
getting a sod of "Bermuda” ("wire-
grass^), and then be able to stock up
with cattle and sheep when prepared
for them, without expecting anv in-
goom from the form in the meantime;
otherwise they are invited to certain
disaster, as the lands are too much
to foroish a living by calti-

this moisture is

A soil covered by a dense foliage is
not fovqrably situated for coming in
contact with air in motion, and al
though the foot that soils will condense
ammonia may be accepted, atiil it is
very difficult to believe that much of
the increased fertility, which follows
the growth of a crop of peas or clover,
is one to ammonia condensed by the
soil from the atmosphere; more es
pecially when we consider that the
application of a salt of ammonia to a
leguminous crop is rarely followed by
incresed growth.
In England white turnips shade the
land quite as effectually as any crop
grown, and this crop is largely in
creased by an application of salts of
ammonia, bat no one accustomed to
tho growth of turnips would credit
their bulbs with any property of in
creasing the fortuity of a soil in the
same way as the leguminous crop.
It would be exceedingly interesting
if an accurate examination could be
made of the quantity, aud also of the
range of the roots, of the peas grown
on fK>me of the poor, light soils in the
Southern States. Such an examination
it is true would not settle conclusively
what was the source of the nitrogen
of the crop, but it would give some in
dication of such source.
It is was found that the underground
machinery of the peas was extensive,
and that the roots penetrated deep into
the subsoil, one might feel sure that
the fibres of these roots were in search
offood.
The very low price to which grain
has fellcu, almost precludes the use of
nitrogenous, artificial manures, and al
though men of science may, for a long
time to come, hold different opinions
as regards the source of the nitrogen of
leguminous crops, tlic practical fanner
may rest contented so long as he gets
the nitrogen somehow, and at a very
small cost: sometimes witli no manure
at all, sometimes with a little plaster,
or a tittle kainit and superphosphate.
A crop of some leguminous plants
will contain an amount of nitrogen,
which, if purchased in artificial man
ures would cost several dollars. An
instance of this may be given in one of
our experiments ’ at Rothamstcad,
where turnips, barley, beans and
wheat had been grown for twenty-four
years. A|l the produce grown was
carried away, and the only manure
used was some superphosphate which
was applied to the roots every fourth
year. The twenty-fifth crop was red
clover, and the quantity of nitrogen it
contained amounted to 146 pounds.
Although the clover roots iu this par
ticular experiment were not taken up,
in some other fields they have been
most carefully separated for analysis,
and their roots mav be estimated to
contain an additional fifty pounds, of
nitrogen, making the total 19C pounds
per acre ; or as the chemists say, equal
to 250 of ammonia. It would, I ini
agine, cost about thirty-five dollars to
purchase this amount in sulphate of
ammonia.
In this experiment we carried off the
whole of the three crops of hay,
amounting to three and a half tons per
acre, but even then the influence of the
decaying roots of the clover was very
marked both on the wheat crop which
succeeded the clover, and on the root
crop which •followeu the wheat.—

" ‘Hkadqijautkks Dkpartment of

Subsistence, St. Paul, Minn., April
25, 1879. -Dear B&deau: Your favor
of April 7 was received yesterday. I
remember the matter you ailudejto in
your letter very well. After the terms
for (he surrender of Lee’s army had
been arranged (April 9, 1865,) Gen.
Lee asked Gen. Grant to have rations
issued to his army. Gen. Grant, turn
ing to me, said, ‘Colonel, feed Gen.
Lee’s army.’ I asked, ‘How many
men have they?’ Gen. Grant repeat
ed me question, addressing Gen. Lee.
(«cn. Lee went into an explanation to
show why tic could nottell the number
of his men. He said, ‘I have no com
plete organization in my army. Many
companies are commanded by non
commissioned officers; the books arc
lost.’ When be got thus far I said,
suggestively, ‘say 25,000.’ Gen. Lee
said, ‘yes, 25,000.’ 1 went from the
room at once and meeting Col. M. I :

three days’ rations (I think it was three
days) of beet, salt ai.d bread, for the
army of Northern Virginia, number
iug 25,000 men. lie said, ‘I guess I
can.’ I was not at all certain lie could
do it, because we had been having
some lively marching, and I doubted
if Uie provision trains and lierd were
up with the troops But Small was
equal to the emergency, and I told him
to issue the rations. You remember
we started back to City Point tho
afternoon of the next day, April 10,
and I did not take much more interest
in the number of men constituting the
army of Northern Virginia. I have
since learned that Ihc number of men
of that army was at time, officers and
men 26,115, divided as follows, viz:
Cavalry corps, officers 213, men 1,501;
artillery corps, officers 1,527, men 13,-
333; Gordon’s crops, officers 674, men
5,833. Total officers 2,951; total men
23,464. You may bo certain that this
is correct. You may remember that
Fitz Lee went off with his cavalry and
Gen. Lee sent out after him to come in
and surrender. He came in, 1 think,

I have been using for a month or
two in my household Swift’s Specific,
the greater portion of it having been
consumed by tho female portion of my
family, and witli the happiest results.
It acted like a charm on my wife, who
had been in bad health for a long time
and for whom 1 iiad paid hundreds of
dollars for doctors and medicines. It
began to build her up from the first
dose. Another female member of my
family took it with equally satisfactory
results. It is certainly the best tonic
for delicate ladies that I have ever
used, and I have tried them all. I
have no doubt that want of exercise,
close confinement in poorly ventilated
houses, sower gas poison and malarial
|>oison often produce sickness among
our wives, daughters aud sisters, and
I believe Swift’s Specific it the remedy
for all this sort of blood poisoning. I
know many of the best families of this
county arc using it for this purpose,
and 1 have never known or heard of
any failure to give entire satisfaction.
1 have known the remedy a long time.
I know it to be entirely vegetable, and

it renovated her whole system. It is

Dibble Hasten* Action In the Matter.
[ Sfacial to the A etc* and Courier]
Washington, April 28.—The Presi
dent this afternoon commissioned D. F.
Bradley to be collector of internal
revenue for the District of South Car
olina. Although charges of ineflcien-
cy, &c., against Bra> ton, the present
collector, have been on file in the de
partment for some time, it was hardly
expected that a change in the office
would be made before the first of May.
Bradley bad the endorsement of the
entire South Carolina delegation, for
although Senator Hampton took no
f iart in the conference held in this city
ust before Congress adjourned, which
virtually nominated Bradlgy, that Sen
ator only yesterday informed the com
missioner of internal revenue that he
had no objection to I lie appoiutmont of
Bradley and that his selection would
undoubtedly give universal satisfaction
throughout the State. Action in this
matter was probably hastened by
Representative Dibble, who, yesterday
called upon both Secretary Manning
and Commissioner^Miller. It appears
that some one told Mr. Dibble
that Commissioner Miller was lab
oring under the impression that a
gentleman from South Carolina named
Gregg was the choice of a majority of
the Congressional delegation and many
of the prominent citizens of the State
for the position. Mr. Dibble soon dis
abused the commissioner’s mind of
that impression and informed him that
Bradley was the choice of all the dele
gation except Hampton, and the latter
was not opposed to him, only he had
taken no part in the conference which
selected the candidates for the leading
Federal offices in the State. As Sena-
t6r Hampton was to leave the city last
night there was no time to lose, so he
was immediately communicated with,
and he expressed himself as being en
tirely satisfied with the appointment of
Bradley. Accordingly when Secretary
Manning went to the Cabinet meeting
to-day lie carried in his portfolio tho
commission of Bradley, which the
President afterwards signed.

Monroe county. J. H. Hamilton, a
passenger, happened to be looking out

emerge apparently^ fh>m under the

of the engine. He carried a club or

was reached, tte sharp ring of the bell
in the engine stopped the train, and
before tin inquiry os to who pulled the
bell could te made tbc baggage-master
flung open tbe door of the smoking
car and reeled in covered with blood.
He gasped but to the horrified passen
gers that a robber had entered the
baggage car and shot him and tbe ex
press messenger, and then he fell un
conscious. Conductor Chamberlain
entered the baggage car and found
Davis stretched in a pool of blood by
the side of his safe, which hod been
broken open and plundered. Every
where was evidence of a terrific strug
gle. The floor was littered with paper
that the assassin had taken from
the safe, and heavy boxes stored in the
car were scattered around in confu
sion. Davis, Who was breathing, was
carried into the smoker. He had been
shot in the unper part of tbe head.
Webber, the baggage-master, after
wards said that both doors of the car
were open at Harrodsburg and tic and
Davis were asleep. Just after the
train got in motion Webber was awak
ened by a violent blo w on the bead.
Staggering to his feet lie saw a tall,
muscular man struggling with Davis.
The messenger was bespattered with
blood, which was gushing from a
wound in bis head. He also had evi
dently been struck with a club while
asleep. Webber iell to the floor. Davis
managed to loosen ins rigid hand and
draw his revolver, but before be could
fire the robber wrenched the weapon
from bis grasp and tired. The ball
struck the messenger iu . tbe head
and he fell dying. When the safe had
been rifled the robber left the train as

JUDGE WYLIE'S COURAGE.
Anecdote of the Trial and Eieculloa of
Mr*. Surratt- - Oppoelag the Country.
Judge Andrew J. Wylie of the Dis
trict of Columbia, who recently asked
• hat the President appoint his succes
sor, twenty years ago distinguished
himself as a bold and fearless judreia)
rtfficer by |>orforiniiig an net which
brought down upon bis bead the cc§
sure ef maii\ of ids political friends
and associates at tbc time. It was
after the trial of tbe assassination con
spirators, when all had been convicted
and sen'enced to be hanged, including
that ill-fated or uufoiinuaie woman
and friend of John Wilkes Booth, Mrs.
Mary D. Surratt. The latter's coun
sel had resorted to every known
method under the law and bv petition
to secure a commutation of Mrs. Sur
ratt’s sentence of death, but in vain
As all must remember who read the
occurrences of that day, the conspira
tor had been tried by court martial,
and even the counsel for tbe defence
of Mrs. Surratt fllon. Revordy John
stou, of Marvlanu,) had been objected
to by the prosecution. It was neces
sary to resort to a desperate move in
order to save Mrs. Surratt, or to even
have her life respited for a few days
President Johnson was deaf. He even
declined to give Mrs. Surratt a despite
for a day to prepare *.0 meet her (Jod
Not knowing whether a Judge
would be found who would dare do
such a tiling, yet Mrs. Surratt's couu
sc I, having a strong case and new evi
deuce, drew up a paper and presented
tbe tacts, and determiued to pray for
a writ of habeas corpus. The crisis
was a desperate one. The connse
called at the residence of Judge Wylie
ar2 o’clock on the morning set ftfr
Mrs. Surratt’s execution. They rang
the bell. Some oue came to the iront
window of the second story and gruffly
demanded, "What is wanted?” Judge
Wylie, partly dressed, came down
stairs and adrulted the two lawyers,
who stood trembling in his presence
Hr, the Judge, turned on the light in
the hall and looked at tte document
they presented. Standing there under
the’gas burner, Judge Wylie read tte
document through without a word
and then retired to a rear room for a
minute. The counsel were in dreot
suspense. They - could hear their
hearts beat. Prejudice ran high
Washington, and it was not thought
Judge could be found who would issue
a writ of habeas corpus for Mrs. Sur
ratt. TJie Administration, President
Johnson; the Secretary of War, Mr
Stanton; the Judge Advocate Genera
an excited army and navv, ana an
excited populace, demanded the ham
ing of Mrs. Surratt. Judge Wyl:
had not long been on the Dench am
had everything to lose and nothing to
gain by isstiing a writ. He returnee
to the counsel and said quietly, but
firmly: "Gentlemen, your points.are
well taken.” He signed a writ to
bring Mrs. Surratt before him that
morning
After the writ was served President
Johnson suspended tbe writ of Aafreas
corpus.
"This act of Judge Wylie was one
that places him in tne character of one
of the boldest and most upright Judges
of modern times,” said a Washington
lawyer in relating tte incident.
