"X&Kc 1 e&lev it e m o c r a i ha r lo i t XCf A Word to the People. From the Ilaleigh Sentinel. -W hve, heretofore, intimated, upon the strength of common rumor, that the State authori ties hud instructed the Registrars, Poll-kcepera, 4c, to have the tickets printed on one ballet for Electors, 31 embers of Congress and Jleuibcre of the Legislature, oil to be Yoted in one box. Thxtplan t contrary to the lav, and wc now larn, from good authority, that the State authori ties have issued bo uch order, and will not do so. The following opinion, from neveral legal gen tlemen in this city, ought to satisfy evtry one, that it is illegal to put all the names in one box, and that such a couree will vitiate the election. We therefore call upon the people, Registrars, Poll-holders, &c, to hold the election according to law. Nobody has a right to order any other course than the law points out. There should be a box for Electoral tickets, one for members of Congress, and one for men. be rs of Legislature. For convenience, the printers may print them together and they will cost less, but every rotcr can easily cut them apart. Head the fol lowing: Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 10th, 18C8. In our view there is nothing in the Ordinan ces of the late Convention, or iu the acts of the last session of the General - Assembly, that re peals the provisions of law heretofore in Ibree as regards the number of boxes required incase candidates for different offices are voted for at the same place and on the same lny. We are therefore of opinion that at the ap proaching election the candidates for Congress, for Electors of President, and lor such vacancies in the General Assembly as may cxit, should be voted for in separate boxes, one box or one Bet of boxes for e ach office.

There is a material conflict of opinion: To IHs Excellency, W. W. Ilolden. I have carefully considered the ordinance of the late Convention, and the acts of the last cession of the General Assembly, and I am clearly of the opinion tlut at the approaching election the candidates for Congress, for Electors of Presi dent, and for such vacancies in the General As-, sembly as may exist, should be voted for on the me slip of pnper, and in the panic ballot box. Wm. dl. Coix.man, Attorney General. The Standard says (incorrectly vre think) that this settles the question. The Sentinel makes the following remarks concerning Mr Coleman's opinion: "Now we undertake to say that this ''opinion" of Coleman does not "settle the question," nor has the Governor any riht to interfere in this matter to defeat the plain intent of tho Lw. The law "settles the question," and tho lav hereto fore in existence, and not repealed by any ordi nance of Convention or Act of Assembly, is plain and explicit that voting for different oflices must be on separate ballots and in distinct boxes. We warn Inspectors of election, that, by permitting a different mode of voting, not onlj- will the elec tion be vitiated, but they will render themselves liable to. indictment.

There are no inti mations of his return. Judge Chase leaves in a few days for Fa van-, Bah, Ga., to hold Court. The many representations made in various newspapers that President Johnson would be a candidate for the Presidency, in cape of the withdrawal of Mr Seymour, are without founda tion. There is the best authority for saying that President Johnson has neither approved the proposition to withdraw Seymour's name, nor intimated a willingness to accept such a nomina tion, but, on the contrary, has looked . upon the proposition for a change of candidates as injudi cious and ill-timed. The Trial of Mr. Davis. The New York Sun. edited by Mr Charles A. Dana, form erly Assistant Secretary of War, argues that Mr Davis will not be tried at the approaching session of the United State? Circuit Court in Richmond, and never will be tried. The Sun says: "The indictments against Jcffer-on Davis might as well be sold to the paper makers for three cents a pound. They M ill never be tried. The eloquence of Mr Everts will never be wasted on the living skeleton of a defunct Confederacy, with a strong probability of a disagreement of the jury, and a pardon virtually promised beforehand in case of conviction." Dried Fruit fca North Carolina- The good people of Stokes, Forsythc, Guilford and adjoining counties, have discovered that there are other crops worth attcuding to besides the great staple of tobacco, or oven the more necessary articles of corn and wheat. The following statement, furnished me bv a reliable gentleman, well acquainted with the peo ple and their industrious, enterprising and go ahead qualities, will shovryour readers what may be done by those who are determined to avail themselves of the advantages which a kind Provi dence has placed within their reach : A merchant residing in the small village of Mount Airy (tokes county, N. C..) basjveeived into his store in less than two weeks thirty-five thousand pounds of dried apples. A firm in the tame placo built a large cod commodious brick torehouse, and paid for it from the profits in the sale of the dried fruit bought and sold by them in one season. One firm in Salem, N. C, (Vogler's) ha sent off this fail eijrht hundred barrels of dried Black berries, and will probably tend two huudrcd bar rels more the whole worth forty thousand dol lars. The dried fruit received and purchased in that small village this season will bring one hun- Last year. High Point, a village which has recently sprung up in Guilford county, and on the Central road, shipped largely over one million pounds of dried fruit, and xrill send off a much larger quantity this tcason. The village of Kerncrsville (in Forsythe coun ty), with scarcely one hundred inhabitants, will eend North this Fall from sixty to one hundred thousand -dollar' worth of dried fruit. One house in this village sent off last Friday thirteen wagon loads (36,000 pounds) of peach stones, which cost fifty cents per bushel and one ladv, in the same place, has collected nearly one bushel of apple seeds, for which she is to receive twenty -flra dollar.

At least 5,000 persons participated in'r the serenade to GenIJlair at St. Louis, Missouri, on thcjlCth inst. ' Gen. Blair, after stating that he was'neitHer discouraged nor dismayed by the results of the recent elections, spoke as follows: "My Ff-LLOW-Citizexs: I am the candidate of the Democratic party (cheers) for a very dis tinguished position, and I expect to be the can didate of the party so long as they desire it, renewed cheers; so l.ngas it caa avail to help the great cause which we all have at heart. But, my fellow-citizens, it will be" no sacrifice to we, or, rather, it will be a work of pleasure to me, to surrender that position, whenever by so doing I can add one vote to strengthen the Dem ocracy in this State, or in other States. Im mense cheering I am not a candidate for the purpose of em barrassing, frustrating, or defeating the princi ples which have my cordial support. When T cease to be of use in one capacity, I am ready to serve in another, (cheers,) and I call upon you, my fellow-citizen, to-night, to make every sac rifice for the great cause we have all espoused. As I now call upon you, not to hesitate to make every sacrifice demanded to gain for us a victory, so am I ready to go anywhere and da anything; to take upon myself any burden, to lay down any power, which may have been conferred upon me heretofore. (Cheers.) And this, my fellow-citizens, brings me to al lude to that rumor whieh is in our midst to-day. It has been said that both the candidates for the Presidency and the Vice-Presidency have signi fied their willingness to decline in behalf of some other candidates. All that I have to say is that "both candidates have always been, from the mo ment they were nominated to this moment, and will always be, ready to lay down their candi dacy when it will no longer be of service to the Democratic party of the country, (cheers,) and if it should be thought, now if it should be be lieved that by so doing we could add to the strength of the Democratic party and give it a better chance of victory you will find that you were not mistaken cither in your candidate for the Presidency or Vice-Presidency. They will justify the great , honor you have conferred on them by showing they are not unworthy, and not insensible of the honor. (Voices "We do not want a change; that is for you to say.") I shall be with 3011 again before this election is over; I do not intend to retire from the field. I mean to bear my share in this battle whether in' the ranks, or as an officer, depends upon the wishes of the Democratic party; and I do not desire, my fellow-citizens, that you should ex press yourselves upon that subject now; I de sire that it should be considered by you calmly, dispassionately, without regard to the feelings of any man. because the feelings of individuals are nothing in the scale as compared with the suc cess and restoration of the Government of our country." Views of Gen- Wade Hampton. The South Carolina papers .publish a letter from Gen. Hampton, iu reply to a Wisconsin lawyer, who requests him. in view of the wido spread misrepresentation of his opinions and course, to define his position as to the issues, results and consequences of tho war. . Hampton nays : , "The main issues involved in the war were se cession and slavery tho first the primary one, the latter brought in a.i a. later period. -In regard to these, I adopt fully and without reservation, the principles announced by the late Nat ional Den.oer.itic Convention in New York, and in the words of the platform promulgated there. 1 consider these questions as settled forever. 1 accept this as tho result accomplished by the war, and as its logical aud legitimate consequence. This I have done from the day the war closed, and I have counselled our people to look upbu it in the same light. 1 was strongly in favor of the action taken by this State conferring on the negro equal civil rights' with tho white man, aud inorethana year ago advocated the policy of giving to him, as st on as we had the power to do so legitimately, suffrage based on qualification. The Democratic Convention held here in April last reeognized the negro as an integral part of the body politic, and declared that it would when, our party came into power, grant him partial sutirage. '1 he State Central Club has just re enacted this declaration and is sustained by a vast majority of the white citizens of the State. We regard the reconstruction acts as uncon stitutional, but Jook for their overthrow, not by violence, but, in the language of a resolution unauimously adopted by the Democratic party in convention assembled, to Constitutional agen cies and peaceful remedies alone. Wc invoke a decision on the constitutionality of these acts from the only tribunal competent to pronounce on them, the Supreme Court of the United States; and we are prepared to abide by that decision. It may not be inappropriate here to correct a misrepresentation widely spread by Iladical pa pers regarding these acts. I have been charged with having dictated that portion of the Demo cratic platform relating to reconstruction. This charge I have more than once denied and I do so again most emphatically. The sense iu which I spoke of the words 'unconstitutional, revolu tionary and void,' as being my plank in the plat form, referred to them as constituting the plank to which I as well as any other Southern man clung for safety." The letter concludes as follows: "If the people of the North wish to build up a strong and lasting Union, let them be magnani mous and generous 10 the South. Let them con fide more fully than they have done in the honor of our people, and they will meet a cordial and heartfelt response.

Internal Revenue: Treasury Department, Office Internal " Rkn.enuk. ( Washington, October 12, 1SGS. J In accordance with the opinion of the Attor ney General of the United States, rendered 011 the 10th instant, distillers of brandy from apples, peaches -or grapes, exclusively, arc hcrebj'with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, exempted from so much of the provisions of sec tion 59 of the act. of July 20, 1808, as imposes a special tax of 6-400 upon distillers producing 100 barrels or less of distilled spirits, nnd of 4 per barrel " for every barrel in "excess of 1 00 barrels This exemption is additional to the exemptions heretofore specified in scries 4, No. 7 ; and as sessors and collectors will govern themselves ac cordingly. E. A. Rollins. Commissioner. The exemption in series 4, No. 7, is as follows : "Distillers of brandy from apples, peaches, or grr.pcs, exclusively, are subjeet to the same taxes and rates of tax as other distillers. They must register their stiiis. give the notice, and file the bond required of other distillers; but arc ex empted from the additional requirements imj postd upon other distillers who are not the owners of the ice of the distillery 'premises, and will not be required to furnish the plan required by section 10. They will be held subject to'all the requirements of the law as to the assessment, collection, or jtsccrtainuicnt of the tax due, and providing for the keeping of "books, and for re turns, except that instead of making returns trU monthly they will make, return 011 form 15 011 the 1st da' of each and every rnoiith. or within 5 days thereafter, and the tax on the spirits dis tilled by them during tho period embraced in their returns must be paid at the time of making their return. When stamps shall be provided they must be affixed as provided in their cases, and the taxpaid stamp must be affixed by the ganger before the spirits are removed from the distillery j and until stamps are furnished the spirits must be inspected and branded or marked, as iu other cases, before the same arc removed from the distillery. "They will not be required to provide a bonded warehouse, nor to remove the spirits produced by them from the distillery to a bonded ware house, nor to erect receiving cisterns in the distiller-. They will be exempt from any penalty for non -compliance with any .of the provisions of sectitin 17; and also the provisions of section 22. in relation to suspending work ; nor will they be subject to the per diem capacity tax imposed by section liJ, after the distillery is closed for the t-eason."

This will depend on the cir CTimstHncct of the individual farmer. -' If grain is high, a water grit mill is near, or the farmer has a mill of his own, tho roads are good, farm help is plenty, and fuel is cheup. there will be n great saving in grinding and cooking corn to feed to hog. Rut if. on the other hand, grain is low, the mill ten miles off, Jths roads bad, labor scarce and fuel high, then the expense of prepar ing the corn for the trough might be considerably greater than the value of the corn in the ear. In u;?ny parts of the West one fourth of the grist is taken for toll; here is a loss of twenty -five jor cent, on tlu4.start.- To this we :iuubt add the cost of shelling the corn, drawing it to the mill and bnck, and the price of the labor needed iu cooking, and the worth of the fuel. These are no inconsiderable items. To enable farmers to form an opinion of the comparative Value or prepared and unprepared corn fur liors. throuuh experiments of Samuel II.

To get the value of corn, estimate the pork at 8 cents a pound; we have as the- result of one bushel of dry corn, 45 eenta worth of pork; of one bushel of boiled corn, 115 cents worth of pork; and of one bushel of ground corn, 136 cents worth of pork." ,.. .L ... . .

Why is a rotat ion of crops beneficial ? We" find that in planting the same soil, year after year, with the same kind of crop, that wc pro duce less in each succeeding crop; the reason is ex plained thus: The soil contains certain elements in greater or less proportions ; now on plant grow ing in such soil takes up into its construction a eertain proportion 01 one 01 tnese elements in a greater quautity than it docs of the other ele ments : a continued- draft of this-one eleraentnn larger quantity than is returned to the soil ex hausts it, so that the plant can no longer draw a supply. Another "plant which demands a dif ferent element in excess will find it in the same soil, and feeding thereon -will produce an abun dant crop. So of all the different elasses of crops, one has an excess of one element which is drawn from the soil and enters into its structure another class a different element, and 90 on down through. - Now if only one crop of each elass is taken off the soil, but a small portion of the par ticular elemeht which enters most largely into its growth is taken away ; an interval of some years will give the soil time and opportunity to re cover what is lost, and thus the land is less in jured by removing a small portion of any "one element, than if a continuous drain were made upon the same elements. The growth of one crop often tends to prepare the soil. for another; and thus a proper rotation' of crops tends to in crease the product of each without materially de creasing the fertility of the land. It is quite possible, that in a virgin soil the same crop may be grown with success for years in succession ; but it ie found eventually to fail. Cultivation in time uses up any soil ; arid nothing is found equal to a change, in keeping up its fertility." In all long settled and cultivated countries, the success of faming rests npon'the practice of ro tation of crops. The great object to be obtained in rotation is to produce the greatest possible product with the least injury to the productive capacity of the soiL We dp not propose at pre sent any particular crops to be grown in a rota tion for all sections ; as what might be suitable lor one-soil and ' locality woTSld" hcentrrelymi suitable to a different one, so great is the diver sity of soil and climate of our country. - Rut this general principle should govern in all rotations, that the crops should succeed each other in the order of their dissimilarity. Rural American. Salting Wheat Land. Mr L.-F Livingston, of Newton county, Georgia, gives, through the Southern Cultivator, the result of an experiment made by a neighbor of his with h's last crop... lie-sowed down, with the wheat, eighty pounds of salt per acre, and gathered a good crop of wheat, clear of rust, while all around him made almost a failure. If! salt will prevent rust, every farmer should know it and use it. Mr George Cunningham, an en terprising farmer of the same county, in March hist,-sowed as a top dressing, equal portions of salt and plaster, on a portion of a lot in wheat, as an experiment: the effect was perceptible to all. Ihe wheat thus managed was good, while that adjacent to it was very poor. These ex- perinients seem to demonstrate the fact that sait l; a preventive of rust. As the cost oi salt is trifling, compared to the losses sustained by rust, ail should test it for themselves. HovF to Rent a Farni. The correct way to arrive at a fair price for . both parties is the following : Add. the, value of j (lie cultivated land and buildings to the value of 1 the stock and tooK If a renter have no benefit of wood land, the growth of timber, and jncroas- ( inc; value of the land, will ho an equivalent fur j the interest on it. 2sow, 11 a renter agrees to pay to the proprietor, annually, six, seven, eight, or more per cent on the aggregate value of stock, implements and farm'; aud keep the soil in a good utate of fertility; and ' make, .certain im provements every year, the proprietor will re ceive a better compensation" than the renter, A renter could tic-t make' a decent profit on toany farms, were he to hire them at six per, cent while ori others he could afi'ord to pay twelve per cent. Ihe productiveness of . the soil must be taken into the account Then, the per ccntage must be lessened, in proportion as a renter makes improvements that will increase the value of the farm. If he rents' a farni for a term of "curs, and certain improvements-will benefit him as well as the proprietor, each one should share in the expense. A written contract between the parties should require the renter to adopt a rotation of. crops adapted, to the soil ; to allow nothing to be car-, ried off the farm that would make manure ; to allow no manure to be wasted by remaining in heaps from year to year; to keep the stoek good; to keep all tools, implements and buildings in good repair, making allowance fjr their natural wear ; aud not to damage; fru'.t or ornamental trees in any way. The prices at which every thing i valued in different localities render it quite inconsistent to do anything further "than simply make suggestions on important points, by which a fair, contract fcr both 'parties- may be framed. - . When a farm is worked on shares, the pro prietor should so frame thes contract, that hay, straw, cornstalks and other conrse material shall not be carried off the soil ; and he who works it should make and apply a given amount of man .ure annually. If foreign fertilizers are antJied f thc proprietor ought to sustain a small portion of the expense, it he receives a share Of the gram. The contract should not- allow a man to plow up the entire farm at one time, so that there will be no grass the next season, either for pasture or meadow.
