Bagley, Sec'y. Now .Potatoes Potato Culture. On this subject a correspondent of the Country Gentleman writes as iouowa : Beiner one of the successful com petitors for the $500 premiums of fered by B. K. Bliss fc Sons, irr the spring of 1873, for the largest quan tity of potatoes grown from one pound of tubers planted, I have re ceived numerous letters requesting me to give my views of the best varieties of potatoes for general cul tivation, and also my mode of cul tivation. I will give my opinion as to the varieties that I think are best for general cultivation. The first is .Extra .harly V ermont. For an .early potato it is decidedly Preferable to anvthing I have ever farsupeiior to it in quality and yield ; perfectly free from disease, and, in fact, in every way a most valuable early variety. Tho next I would recommend is the Ice Cream. Out of 73 varieties that I tested the past season, the Ice Cream wasjthird in productive ness, and fully equal to any in qual ity and llavor. It is a late variety, rtnrl Ti"iftfnrva with thft TVprlpS- PamontAr'j no- ia a iWtn that I can recommend as a varietv which I think is worthy of more than a passing notice. It combines tho qualities of the Rose with those of the Peachblow. For earliness, it is fully equal to the Early .Rose, and has the keeping quality and snlendid llavor of the Peachblow. Infact, if I were to be confined to a single variety, I should select the Carpenters Seedling in preference to any other I have ever tested. It is a beautiful cropper, and in every way worthy of a general cul tivation. MY MOIE OF Cl'LTUUE. In the first place I select the lightest soil I have, one year in ad vance If poor. 1 give it a liberal dressing of barn-yard manure; turn it under very dtep, then sow on some green crop, such as wheat, rjTe or oats, and plough under before it gets so large that I cannot cover all with the plough. I Jet it lie over until Spring, then harrow smooth, mark each way three feet apart ; select the most perfect tubers, cut to single eyes and drop from one to two eyes in a hill ; then make a com post of salt one part, slacked lime two parts, unbleached wood ashes four parts ; put one good sized hand ful in each hill ; then cover all from four to six inches deep, according as the season is wet or dry ; the drier the soil the deeper the cover ing should be ; keep the weeds down and the ground mellow with the hoe and cultivator, until just before the blossoms make their appear ance; then hill up broad and flat, slightly cupping towards the vines, in order to hold all light showers of rain ; keep the weeds down by cut ting off or pulling up. I do not dis turb tho ground after this time, as it would injure the young tubers that are then in process of forma tion. A Word in Time. Harmony in a party is essential to success, n is not to oe expeciea that in i popular crovernirient all should agree upon any one policy of government, or any one man, or set of men, to administer the gov ernment. Men entertain divers opinions, and as an abstract ques tion it is confessedly right and proper, isui wnen great issues are tnftuntlIlMii"OQ jnvnivincr tho verv lexi,t(,nce of a nartv ft becomes men to yield personal pref erences to the good of the party. In doing jso, no more sacrifice is made than when individuals yield their personal rights to the estab lishment of government for the con trol of tho whole community. To the Republicans in North Carolina at this time, we take occa sion to reiterate this well known and time honored doctrine. If the disaffected will undertake to accom plish a selfish and temporary pur pose at the expense of a great and permanent good; if they suppose that expressed dissatisfaction of certain well considered nominations will enure either to their own ad vantage, or to the promotion of the great principles of Kepublican gov ernment they sadly deceive both themselves and their infatuated followers. For what, for instance, are the white natives in North Carolina, who are allied with the interest of the Republican party, laboring? Some there may be, who desire pro motion, but even their promotion redounds to the benefit of the Re publican party, as a political organ ization, a power in the State, and all who fight under the Republican banner, participate in its benefits and share the fruits of its victories. But it is a mistake to suppose that the great majority of the white vo ters in North Carolina seek office, or desire office. Their purpose is to put down and keep down the Ku KIux Democracy. They admit that they require the aid of the colored vote to accomplish it, but they claim that in so doing, the col ored man gains more than they do. Their rights are vindicated, they have the protection of the law, their claims to office are by no means ig nored, and the white man in this contest is the last to raise the ques tion of color. If the colored man makes the issue, he must abide the consequences. As a friend of the colored man we advise him to make no such issue; if he does, defeat is inevitable, and with defeat upon that question, no intelligent man can deny that the negro will be the loser. lf'7. Post. Since Queen Victoria took her place on the English throne, thirty six years ago, every other throne in Europe, from the least unto the greatest, has changed its occupant. A Chicago man wrote to Agassiz (hat he had an apple which he had preserved for fifty-three years, and when Agassiz wrote for it, the joker said it was the apple of his eye. A Radical County. THere are at present confined In the 1 county jail but seven persons, four of whom are insane. -'one confined only for costs, and there Is, In fact, but one person actually in jail for crime. iov is this for " a radical county, where crime is rampant, and vice and ignorance predominates 2". VWe challenge any l)emocratic county of the same population, or with a' ma jority of .Democrats, equal to our Republican majority, to make a h..trprshnw!no'Atv. 7?-n 77m What do the old Whigs think about it? The members of the Executive Committee of the par ty opposed to Republicanism, call themselves " Democratic-Conservatives." Why not " Whig-Conservatives ?" Or, if the word " Dem ocrat " must be used, how would it do to say ' Democratic-Whig-Conservatives ?" We think there were formerly too many Whigs in North Carolina to be thus ignored.
