DRAINAGE. Some time ago a discussion occurred in France in regard to the influence that an in crease of population exerts in checking the spread of malarious fevers. We presume that this discussion was in some measure elicited by Edmorfd About's graphic and interesting work concerning that singular district in France whic'a fs known as "The Landes." In the work alluded to, and inter mingled with a charming love tale, About has given facts and figures to prove that the marshes and sanded district in which the scene of his story is laid, though at present almost a barren and unsightly waste, could be brought under profitable cultivation and made to support a large population. This book, the production of a remarkable able writer, has excited much comment not only in France, but in other countries. Atten tion being thus drawn to the subject, other writers have taken up the matter, and among them two eminent medical men 51. Tripier and M. Tournon both of whom contend that in districts containing but few inhabi tant! an increase of population has been at tended by a decrease of fevers and other diseases having their origin in a marshy soil. The reason assigned 5s that the greater the population and the closer the dwellings and farms are to each other the more complete becomes the drainage. As the drainage be comes more general, the excess of moisture in the soil is carried off and the fruitful cause of malarious diseases is gradually but surely abated until it ceases altogether. It is a received axiom that the drier a soil is the most conducive it is to the general hcaltb. In England, where the climate is moist from the frequency of rains, men never build on a close, compact soil if it be possible to avoid it, but rather choose such as have a gravelly subsoil through which the excess of water can percolate, and so desirable is this considered that those building lots in the neighborhood of large cities fetch by far the highest prices where the subsoil is gravel and the drainage is most perfect. In regard to villages situated in unhealthy locations M. Tournon lays down the follow ing propositions : 1st That miasm gives way in the place of an agglomeration of buildings, and that the closer the buildings are together the less the inhabitants feel the effects of miasmatic influences. From this he concludes that the centre of a town or village presents the max imum of security." 2d. "Whenever a villaee begins to be de- V populated, no matter from what cause, the malaria first attacks its outer parts, advances as the. houses are emptied and laying seige as it were to the remaining inhabitants at tacks them finally in the centre, when there too much diminished in numbers to repel the germs of the disease by congregation." The assumption is that where a large number of people are clustered together the drainage of the spot by their several exer tions becomes more or less perfect, and they are thus measurably secured from the evils of malaria. But in extensive districts of country where swamp lands abound, it would be manifestly impossible to drain them by individual effort, for the population there must necessarily be thin so long as the dis trict is known to be malarious. It is only in districts known to be healthy that a dense population is to be found, so that in coun tries covered with great swamps drainage must precede population. It may be differ ent in the suburbs of cities, because the land becomes valuable in proportion to its prox imity to a market, and the cost of drainage will generally be found to be more than re paid by the increased value of the land which is thus laid dry. In North Carolina, where immense bodies of swamp land ceded to the Bute by the Federal Government are now offered for sale, drainage has in some instances performed wonders in promoting the health of the locality and in increas ing the fertility. But only wealthy private capitalists or incorporated companies with an adequate capital can afford to incur the immense outly necessary to reclaim such lands. Whenever the pressure of popula tion forces men to encroach upon the swamp land and reclaim them little by little, a change will be Wrought in many districts new lying waste, , But so long as it is cheap er generally to renovate naturally good but " worn out soils than to reclaim virgin soils in in which moisture ruperabounds, private en terprise will prefer to Jabor on the former rather than on tlie latter. All work of this kind upon an extensive scale has hitherto heen'undertakenj in Eiirope, -where he pop ulation ia dense pad land dear, by the aid of government subsidies, or el&e at the aolecost of the government, fhe drainage of Har lem Lake, in Itolland, the most wonderful enterprise of this character yet accomplish ed, is an instance of the, manner in which a government can' step in most wisely to pro mote the welfarl of it people. By a gigan tic system of drainage, and a liberaluse of mechanical appliances, serenty square miles of the richest soil in the world were redeem ed. Bedford Level, formerly a marshy tract occupying thousands of acres, is now by thorough drainlge one of the finest wheat rrmnrincr OOlintieS in England. At this time o 1 . " a private compapy in this country is attempt ing a work of a similar kind which promises to be equally siccessful The title of his company is "The New York Iron Dike and Land Reclamation Company." The great difficulty experienced heretofore in tbtfconstruction of dikes where the land to be if claimed lay along the course of creat rivers, jpr was subject to tidal over flow, was the Want of oroa impenetrable defence against all those animals that bore into earthen enchantments, and thus by their minute and daigerous labors offer a passage through which ithe water at once penetrates until it enlarges the aperture, and finally breaks down the dike and submerges the reclaimed land. The difficulty in the instance of thf Company now engaged in reclaiming the Newark meadows, bordered by Hackensack: and Pussaic rivers, is said to be overcome by the' use of a thin, continous plate of iron & the core of the dike. On each side of tbia core the embankment is raised, of a strength sufficient to resist the pressure of th water. Of course no such precautions would be necessary in our ordi nary swamp lasids, which would only require drftina of a caiWity sufficient to carry off the water on ana above soil, and an outlet sufficiently depressed to allow of the water being carried iS. How far State aid, to be reimbursed when such lands were sold, might be invoiced in their reclamation we leave to the future decision of our legisla tors, t Active Mastcring. One of ihe most ac tiv manures and readily within the reach of most framers, is a mixture of leached ashes, El aster, and night soil mixed with fine soil, et them be thoroughly worked over on a smooth spot, amd allowed to stand a week before using, working it over every other day, and you have a most valuable manure at a trifling cost of time. A handful of this mixture is excellent to give corn a start.- Potatoes and garden vegetables generaly feel it very quick. lien manure is an excellent ingredient in luch manures, but should be well slaken with water before mixing with other sul6tance. In this climate we have quite often a Cold week or two the first of Jun, when ccjrn and tender garden vegeta bles suffer severely. We know of no better way to keep Up the courage of plants at this trying season than by the use of such ma nures. MaiM Farmer. 4- Pea8 Pudding, for Corned Bkef or Saxt Pork. f-Wash and pick one quart of split peas ; pit into a cloth, not tied too closely ; put them on in cold water, and let them oook slowly until tender ; take them out, and rub :: them through a sieve into a deep "dish ; mix with them two well-beaten eggs,f a large spoonf ull of butter, and a little black pepper I Btir these well together, then flour the bag well, put in the mixture, and tie as closely as possible ; then put the pudding into the pot which is boiling with the corned pork or beef, and let it cook one hour. Serve tot with the meat Winter Plowing. Of late years the severity of our winters has precluded the possibility of breaking up clay lands after November bo as to let them lay fallow until the spring f o the purpose of exposing them to the action of frost. If however, there should be, as sometimes happens to be the case, couple qf weeks, or even less, of open weather the opportunity should be taken advantage of.whenever there are soils of a Btiff and adhesive texture that require to be benefited by? the disintegrating action of frost. We have often remarked that land in which sand predominates should not be winter ploughed ; but that clay land, except when they are wet will be greatly ameliorat ed by a winter: fallow. A Wash for Fruit Ttees. The Mcrna ehttsetts Plowman gives us this : "Take a pant of crude petroleum and a gallon and a half of soft soap. Mix intimately and let the mixture stand till the whole is intimately bleneded, and then dissolve in twenty gallons of water. It is perfectly saf on trees, and it will extirpate all kinds of insects that infest them where it comes in contact with them." 4r Manures., In the management of ma nures, care should be taken to prevent too great a heat by composting and forking over. Loam and muck if mixed freely under the stables w$ll preserve the heap, prevent fire-fanging and thus prove very useful. It is a good plan to lay in a store af these sub stances to bef mixed occasionally with the manure heap through the winter.

THINGS PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE 4 Of the Quakers at home, the New 3l orK CmnmenAcA thus writes : .The Friendf present a model of interior home-lif e.They cultivate the amenities, the consideration, thecheer,and the abundance which make a home happy. They speak to one another, with, gentle-, ness; they smile upon one another with 'a sweeet benignity ; they welcome the visitor to an astound ing hospitality. Their religion consists in creating happiness in the house-; hold. They are gentle, loving, and atten tive to the children. They seek to promote like docility and cheerfulness among the "rising generation." They are equally at tentive to old age, with a chastened respect fulness of manner, which exalts the self -re spect f declining years. Whatever can be done to make a home comfortable and cheery is first to be done. Other Christians deny to themselves home comforts for the sake of preaching the Gospel to the heathen ; but the Society of Friends beneve that chanty begins at home. Their Gospel is one of home ueace. Their heaven : on earth is to win 4 some foretaste of the " rest which remaineth for the people of God! Thej exemplify what the Christian fireside ought io be warm without heat cheerful without excite ment, briarht without dazzle. Long live the Quaker homes. Not long since a middle age gentleman and a young lady happened to be the only passengers starting that morning for T . They were strangers to each other. The lady was carrying a large white rabbit a pet Just before the stage stopped at a toll gate, the lady asked the gentleman to hold the rabbit a moment while she arranged some of her packages, lie took it and covered it with his shawl, and snugged it up in a man ner quite fatherly. The gate keeper notic ing it, asked if it was a child and unwell. The gentleman replied, "Yes, our first born, the poor thing I" After the vehicle had re sumed its journey, the gentleman handed back the pet, saying, "What beautiful eyes ; just like its mother's ! " Yes," responded the damsal, "and ears just like its father's !" Sometime ago the Rev. Mr. Spurgcon preached a 6ermon on the text "And Mary wept." In the midst of a stream of earnest eloquence that drew tears from many of those present in describing the character of the tears shed by Mary over the feet of Jesus he broke suddenly off, and turning to his congregation, exclaimed : "The tears which Mary shed were not such tears as many of your pour out when you come to this altar. They came from her heart they were tears of blood- and not the poor stuff that you present as an offering to an offended God." Then, leaning over the pulpit and looking earnestly in the sea of upturned faces, he exclaimed : " There are some of you for whose tears I would not give a farthing a quart." "I am a firm believer," says Dr. Cayler, "in the moral and spiritual influence of an open fire. To make home attractive, there must be somewhere in the house a common family rendezvous ; and that ought to pre sent a more radiant attraction than a black hole in the floor, through which hot air pours forth from a subterranean furnace. Men will fight for their altars and their firesides ; but what orator ever invoked a burst of pat riotism in behalf of steam pipes and regis ters ? I never cease to be thankful that was brought up beside the hickory fire of rural farm house." v James Russell Lowell says: "Fasti diousness is only another form of egotism ; and all men who know not -where to look for truth save in the narrow well of self wil nna tneir own image at tne bottom, and mistake it for what they are seeking." uen. iiaiaim uaa a conversation in Florance with Gen. Garibaldi said to him " My belief is that the bullet which kills me will be useful to Italy. I cannot abandon the duty I owe to my country. I will go to Rome to die." The Army Register, for the year, is just out, and will je laid before Congress next week. It bears date August 1, 1867, The regular army at that time consisted of 1 General, 1 Lieutenant General 5 Major Generals, 19 Brigadier Generals, 83 Colonels, 103 Lieutenant Colonels, 291 Majors 2,528 other commissioned officers of various gra des, and 51,605 enlisted men; making the entire strength of the regular army 54,641. The Major Generals, according to rank, are Halleck, Mead, Sheridan, Thomas and Han cock ; the ten Brigadier Generals, according rank, are McDowell, Cooke, Pope, Hooker,5 Scholield, Iloward, Terry, Ord, Canby, and Rousseau. Besides these there are Brigadier Generals as follows: Rawlins, chief of staff; Thomas, Adjutant General; Holt Judge Advocate ; Meig9, Quartermaster General ; Eaton, Commissary General ; Bar nes, Surgeon General; Brice, Paymaster General ; Mumphreys, Chief Engineer ; and Dyer, Chief of Ordnanco. Colonel R. B. Marcy is the ranking Inspector General and Colonel A. J. Myer, Chief Signal Officer. There are 20 officers in the Adjutant Gen eral's Department ; 29 in the Subsistence De partment ; 65 in the Pay Department, and 222 in the Medical Department, besides hos pital stewards. The army is organized with ten regiments of cavalry, five of artillery, and forty-five of infantry. A Secret Wobth Knowing. An able writer gives autterance to this valuable se cret: This looking forward to enjoyment don't pay. For what I know of it, I would as soon chase butterflies for a living, or bot tle up moonshine for cloudy nights. The only way to be happy is to take the drops of happiness as God gives them to us every day of our lives. The boy must learn to be hap py while learning his trade, the merchant while he is making his fortune. If he fails to learn this art, he will be sure to miss hia enjoyment when he gains what he has sighed for. In Nevada, recently, a man got drunk, killed a friend, and was tried and hung all wiihia six hours. PROCEEDINGS OF THE " VIRGINIA f CONSERVATIVE CONVENTION 1 SPEECH OF R. M. T. HUNTERL ' ' ' V ; " -: ' Richmond, December 12L-Th Conserva tive Convention met this morning. Tae convention adopted a series of resolutions ; which iwere unanimously adopted They are as follows : ; " First Recognizes that by the result of the war, slavery has been abolished, and it is not the desire of the people' of Virginia to" re duce to slavery again a people emancipated by the events of the war and by an amend ment to the Constitution of the United States. . Seqpnd. Asserts the right of Virginia to be restored to the Union, and declares her Intention in good faith to perform her duties to the Union. Third. Protests against the governing' of Virginia in any way not defined in the Fed eral Constitution. Fourth. Adopts tne language of tne reso lution adopted at the Cooper Institute, New York, that a military government is subver sive of the fundamental ideas of our Gov ernment, and its object which is to subject the people of the Southern States to the rule of a race just emerged from slavery, is ab horrent to the civilization of mankind and to the Northern people, in surrendering, as it does, a third of the Senate - and a quarter of the House of Representees, which am to legislate over us, to the dominion of an or ganized class of emancipated slaves, who are without any of the training or tradition of self-government. Fifth Diadalntuill hostility to the black population, and asserts that the people of Virginia sincerely desire to see their advance ment in intelligence, and are willing to ex tend to them liberal protection ; but while any constitution adopted by the State should make all equal before the law, yet this convention distinctly declares that the government of the States and Union were fonned by white men, to be subject to their control and sufrage, and should still be reg ulated so as to continue both under the con trol and direction of the white race. Sixth. That the people of Virginia will co-operate with all men throughout the Union, of whatever name or party, who will labor to restore the constitutional Union of the States, and continue its Government un der control of the white race. Resolutions were adopted authorizing the Central Committee to take steps toward test ing the constitutionality of the reconstruc tion acts in the United States Supreme Court. In the discussion of this resolution Gen. Imboden, who has sued out a writ of man- damua against Gen. Schofield, stated that his case, with similar ones relative to suffrage in Alabama and Mississippi, would be car ried to the 8uprenie Court - A resolution that the object of the Con vention was to organize a white man's party, and no subjects foreign to this should be dis cussed, was laid on the table. ( The President was authorized to appoint a committee for the purpose of issuing an address to the people of Virginia and the United States, and the Convention adjourn ed tine die. After the adjournment Hon. R. M. T. Hunter made a short address in answer to calls. He said between the slave and mili tary rule he preferred the latter, for the men who wielded the latter were of his own race. He cited Hayti and Jamaica as results of negro rule, and believed the radical majori ty in Congress, if they expected to control the blacks and prevent their excesses, would find themselves wofully mistaken. To give the bltcks the power of government in the Southern States would be the highest crime against nature, and he believed when the North saw the results there would be a re action which would sweep such governments from the face of America. This generation has suffered" and may suffer more, but the State will live and look back to this period as its only dark epoch. The scenes now passing only make men truer to the States which gave thra birth. The chairman of the Conservative Con vention appointed William C. Rives, R. M T. Hunter, John Janney, James Marshall and J. R. Tucker as the committee to prepare an address to the people of Virginia and the United States. Teach your Children Industry. A certain historian remarks : " One law among the ancient Lydions deserves to be mentioned, and to be cherished in the memory. This was the punishment of idleness as a crime, and their inuring their children to hardships. In the former clause of this law, they deserve to be imitated even by a christian people. If the youth of our country were generally brought up to habits to industry, how much vice and misery would be avoided. Suffered to be idle, as they are in too many instances, they become the prey of the designing, a curse to their parents, and a pest to society. This is a crying evil in our day and demands correction. Restraint over our offspring is required at our hands, and the parent who neglects it inflicts a moral injury on his child and his country, while he exposes himself to the wrath of his maker. If heathen parents appreciated the results of industrious habits, surely Christian parents ought not to un dervalue them. They should keep their offspring employed in their learning and other occupations, suited to their tender age, that they may be preserved from temptation and ruin. All nature teaches the lesson of industry the sun, moon and stars are constant in the performance of their Creator's will. The earth also, on which we live, unweariedly travels onward in its course, and the very insects teach us a lesson of industry. Shall we disregard the lesson ?" ii wm m Language of the Telegraph. There is a universal language, or at least the founda tion of one, found in the fact that one and the same telegraphic alphabet is used in Great Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, the German States, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Malta, Switzerland,' Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Persia, Greece, Turkey, Af rica and India ; also for the Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and the Atlantic cables. This alphabet the New York Commercial Adver tiser says, was originated by the Germans. A musical dog in New Albany, Ind., plays on the piano and howls. .FORTIETH CONGRESS. SENATE. resolution Monday. As resolution was presented directing the committee on Foreign Rela tions to inquire into the expediency of a reciprocity treaty between the United States and the Dominion of Cuoada, and for the cession of British Colombia to the United States, on certain prescribed conditions, which was, ordered to,; be printed. Mr. Chandler called up his . resolution granting belligerent rights to .Abyssinia, as revenge on England for her course during ths Ameri can civil war, which was discussed. Tuesday. Mr. Cole introduced a bill modifying the legal tender act so that con tracts made after July 4th, 1868, payable in coin, can be enforced; legal tender notes remaining as at present Mr. Doolittle of fered an amendment to Mr. Wilson's bill al lowing a majority of the voters of the South to decide on calling the conventions. It proposes the educational and property quali fications. Wednesday. A bill was presented and referred to the judiciary committee, declar ing all acts of confiscation or forfeiture done under authority of the rebel government, unll and void. The disposition of the funds received from the sale of captured and aban doned property was debated. Mr. Morrill spoke at length in favor of hia financial bill. house. Monday. Mr. Buckland introduced a bill to amend the additional bounty act so as to extend its benefits to soldiers who had been discharged for expiration of their term cf service a snort time prior to tne actual ex piration of their term ; referred to the mili tary committee. The Speaker announced the following additional committees : On Reconstruction Stephens, Pa., Bout- well, of Mass., Bingham, G., Farnsworth, 111., Hulburd, N. Y., Beaman, Mich., Paine, Wis., Broeks, N. Y., and Beck, Ky. On Revision of the Laws of the U. S. Poland, Vt, Spalding, O., Jencks, R. I., Farris, N. Y and Woodward, Pa. On Ordnance Logan, 111., Butler, Mass., and Schenck, O. To fill vacancies as follows : On Mines and Mining Knott of Ky. On Public Buildings and Grounds Jones, of Ky. On Expenditures in Public Buildings Grover, of Ky. On Expenditures of War Department Golladay, of Ky. The confiscation bill was discussed and postponed to January 21. Tuesday. A lively debate took place on the question of appropriations to pay for the purchase of Alaska, and that part of the President's message referring to the matter was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. A select committee on reconstruc tion was raised. The Senate bill striking out the word "white" from all the laws and charters of the District of Columbia, so as to make colored men competent to hold of fice and act on juries, was passed 106 to 38. Wednesday. The bill prohibiting bre vet appointments, except in time of war and for distinguished services in presence of the enemy, was passed. Mr. Banks, chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, pre sented a letter from the Secretary of State, informing him that the papers called for in reference to the trial of naturalized citizens in Great Britain were leing copied, but they were very voluminous, and it would require considerable time to copy them. Are our Feet Properly Clothed ? It is somewhat surprising that, with all our boast ed improvements, we have not as yet pro duced a proper covering for the feet. Barbarous people, it tneir clime admits, go with bare feet or wear sandals, covering pnly the sole of the feet We, however, encase the whole foot aQd a portion of the leg, in a material almost impervious to air and moisture, and generally uncomfortably hard and rigid. The color and polisn of our boots are directly calculated to attract the sun's rays ; and the enamel on patent leather, and the blacking on ordinary calf-skin, tends to harden and solidify the substance, closing the pores, and making air-tight esses for a portion of the body which exudes more perspiration than any other, and is subjected to grewter strain. Our boots in summer parboil our feet in a warm bath, and in winter freeze them in an icy envelope. It is doubttul if wet feet are, in themselves, very conducive to disef.3e some medical men to the contrary not w ith standing ; but cramped confinement of the feet, in an icy cold envelope, generare I by perspiration, and chilled by the external atmosphere, thus shutting the imprisoned ieet almost air-tigni, is a& unneritrv as it is uncomfortable. For hot weather there is hardly any shoe so agreeable as that introduced within the past thiee or four years, known as the army shoe, extensively used by base ball players, It is of a heavy canvass and unblocked leather. It is cool, and remarkably easy to the feet. The texture of the canvass allows the escape of the perspiration, and the color of the shoe does not attract the heet of the sun. It would seem that the plan of covering other portions of our bodies with material pervious to air might advantageonsly be ex tended to our feet. There i6 no natu.'al reason why our feet should be so much les3 sensitive than our hands. They become 'ndurated and deprived of their natural activity by long close confinement. The people of warm climates, who use their toes as we do our fingen, and the bare-footed school-boy, who picks up and throws pebble3 with his feet, show that the foot of the civilized adult in onr climate is a much abused member.
