Fine Yellow Leaf and How to Make
It Some Valuable Hints on Planting
and Cultivating Preparation of the
Soil, Fertilizers Used, &c, ccc.
The lands mostly preferred for
fine yellow tobacco are of a moderately
coarse, sandy soil, with a deep yellow
ish subsoil. In selecting lots for the
yellow leaf, always select land free
from wet, spouty places. Remember,
that tobacco of all crops, requires
a thorough preparation of the soil,
and the very best cultivation is abso
lutely essential to success. It you have
bottom land, follow in the Fall with a
two-horse plow, one that will not turn
up the subsoil too much. If fresh
lands, break early in the Spring with
single plow ; iif there is much vegeta
tion, use a turning plow, as deep as
the nature of the case will admit ; if
clean land, use a small plow and plow
as deep as possible. Should there be
a drought of a few weeks, repeat the
fallowing as often as necessary until

WHEN I AM DEAD.

How mucli would I care for it, could 1 know,
That when I am under the crass or the snow,
The raveled garments of life's brief day,
Folded and quietly put away.
The spirit let loose from mortal hars,
And somewhere away among the stars
How much do you think It would matter
then
What praise was lavished upon me when,
Whatever niisht be its stint or store,
It neither could help or harm me more ?
If, while I was toiling, they had but
thought
To stretch out a finger, I would have
caught
Gladly such aid, to buoy me through
.Some bitter duty I had to do ;
Though when it was done they said (may be
To others), though never said to me,
The word of applause, so craved, whose
wortlk
Had been the supremest boon on earth
If granted me then : " We are proud to
know
That one of ourselves has triumphed so."
What use for the rope if it be not flung
Till the swimmer's grasp to the rock has
clung?
What help in comrade's bugle blast
When tiie peril of Alpine heights is pasced?
What need that the spurring p;en roll
When the runner is safe beyond the goal ?

gether in the drill aud will give the
manner in which we usually apply our
manure and fertilizers. We lay off
the rows before carrying the manures
and fertilizers to the field- We never
let more than one load of manure be
exposed to the sun at one time. It is
a very good plan to haul and drill the
manure (one load at a time) and then
drill the fertilizer at the rate of 100
pounds to the 1,000 hills on the aver
age lands we cultivate ; thinner lands
require more. The kind of fertilizer
depends greatly upon the condition of
the land. When the fertilizer is drilled
cover it immediately uy turning two
furrows together, running the plow
very shallow in order to keep the hills
low, then throw out the middle in the
same manner, take a sweep made of a
scantling 4 inches square, 7 feet long
and cut the beds down as low as pos
sible to prevent the tobacco drawing.
Then with hoes put the hills three feet
apart and you are ready for planting.
It is a matter of the utmost impor
tance and should by all means have
strict attention, for if the plants are
not well planted, the growth will be
irregular to do this be careful not to
bruise while drawing, or break while
packing in basket, and never plant one
that is injured. It is an all important
matter to see that the planters do not
make the holes for the plants deeper
than the plants are long, and when
thr nlants are inserted be sure the
dirt is well put to the roots, but not
packed too hard, as the growth will
be retarded should there be a drought
of a week or two after planting.
After the tobacco has taken hold
so that there is no danger of killing
by working, we take a small plow and
bar off the rows, leaving a ridge ot
12 or 14 inches, running the plow
deep enough to loosen the soil beneath
the plants, so the roots will have a
sufficient amount of loose earth to
grow in. We then take the hoe and
work the. ridge thoroughly trom lull to

LEE ANDGRMT.
THE SURRENDER AT APPOMAT
TOX COURT HOUSE.
Official Report Made by General Lee

Northern Virginia Reduced to a
Mere Skeleton.
fMorganton Ilerald.J
We noted in the Atlanta Journal
the other day the statement that of
the Southern States, North Carolina
was the only one which had made no
provision for a display at the Cotton
States and International Exposition,
which is to be held in Atlanta next
fall. The Journal also remarked that
with the magnificent display which
North Carolina made at Chicago, still
practically intact, no Southern State
was in position to make a display so
creditable for such a small outlay. It
is a matter for deep regret that the
late Legislature did not make pro
vision for an exhibit at an exposition
that will be visited by so many thou
sands of neonle who are looking to
L 1 w
the South for homes or investments.
Heretofore, on similar occasions, North
Carolina has stood in the front rank.
At Boston, at New Orleans, and at
Chicago her disnlavs surprised the
world, and have resulted already in
the investment of many millions of
dollars within her borders. No money
was ever spent by the Commonwealth
that has yielded and is still yielding
so large a return. The benefits derived
from the advertisement ot the btate s
resources have benefited the people of
all sections ot the State, by the estab
lishment of new industries that give
employment to labor and furnish a
better market for the products of the
farm. While it was important that
the State should make a fine impression
at the three expositions mentioned, it is
especially important that at such a
distinctively Southern display as will
be made at Atlanta, the space assigned
to North Carolina should not remain
empty. No patriotic citizen of the
State, no matter to what party he
belongs, can fail to realize that the
Legislature made a grave mistake
when it thus failed to uphold the repu
tation of the State by showing at
Atlanta the products of our farms and
mines and forests and the handiwork
of our manufacturers and artisans. It
is now too late to remedy the matter
cn fir ns Legislative action is con
cerned ; but what the Legislature failed
to do may yet be done by the citizens
of the State. There is need ot organ
ized effort in every county to raise
funds for carrying the exhibit made
bv the State at Chicago to Atlanta.
The counties and towns and railroad
and manufacturing companies and the
great hotels and many other industries
rif the State ousht to contribute liber
ally to the fund, and this, supplemented
by individual subscriptions, ought to
be sufficient if the press of the State
will urge upon the people the impor
tance of the movement. Dr. H. B.
Battle, of the State Agricultural
Department, writes The Herald that
the Chicago exhibit can be reproduced
in Atlanta for $10,000 or $12,000.
The State can not afford to lose the
opportunity for such a paltry sum.
Steps should be taken at once to raise
the money. The credit of the Old
North State" demands it.

FAMOUS BATTLES.
Near Appomattox C. IL, Va.,
April, 1 2, 1865.
His Excellency, Jefferson Davis:
Mr. President. It is with pain
that I announce to your Excellency
the surrender of the Army of Northern
Virginia. The operations which pre
ceded this result will be reported in
full. I will, therefore, only now state
that upon arriving at Amelia Court
House on the morning of the 4th with
the advance of the army, on the re
treat from the lines in front of
Richmond and Petersburg, and not
finding the supplies ordered to be
placed there, nearly twenty-four
hours were lost in endeavoring to col
lect in the country subsistence for men
and horses. This delay was fatal and
could not be retrieved. The troops
wearied by continual fighting and
marching for several days and nights,
obtained neither rest nor refreshment,
and on moving on the 5th on the
Richmond and Danville railroad, I
found at Jetersville the enemy's cav
alry, and learned the approach of his
infantry and the general advance of
his army toward Burkeville. This de
prived us of the use of the railroad,
and rendered it impracticable to pro
cure from Danville the supplies ordered
to meet us at points on our march.
Nothing could be obtained from the
adjacent country. Our route to the
Roanoke was, therefore changed, and
the march directed upon Farmville,
where supplies were ordered from
Lynchburg. The change of route
threw the troops over the roads pur
sued by the artillery and wagon
trains west of the railroads, which
impeded our advance and embarrassed
our movements. On the morning of
the 6th, General Longstreet's corps
reached Rice's Station, on the Lynch
burg railroad. It was followed by the
commands of Generals R. H. Ander
son, Ewell and Gordon, with orders
to close upon it as fast as the progress
of the trains would permit, or as they
could be directed on roads farther
west. General Anderson, command
ing Pickett's and B. R. Johnson's di
vision, became disconnected with Ma
hone's division, forming the rear of
Longstreet. The enemy's cavalry
penetrated the line of march through
the interval thus left, and attacked the
wagon train moving toward Farmville
This caused serious delay in the march
of the center and rear of the column,
and enabled the enemy to mass upon
their flank. After successive attacks.
Anderson's and Ewell's corps were
captured or driven from their positions.
1 he latter General, with both of his
division commanders, Kershaw and
Custis Lee, and his brigadiers, were
taken prisoners. Gordon, who all the
morning, aided by W. H. F. Lee's cav
alry checked the advance of the enemy
on the road from Amelia Springs and
protected the trains, became exposed
to his combined assaults, which he
bravely resisted and twice repulsed,
but the cavalry having been withdrawn
to another part of the line of march,
and the enemy massing heavily on his
front and both flanks, renewed the at
tack about 6 p. m., and drove him
from the field in much confusion. The
army continued its march during the
night and every effort was made to re
organize the divisions which had been
shattered by the day's operation; but
the men being depressed by fatigue
and hunger, many threw away their
arms, while others followed the wagon
trains and embarassed their progress.
On the morning of the
Appomattox river, and the cavalry
advanced on the Lynchburg road and
became separated from the army.
Learning the condition of affairs on
the lines, where I had gone under the
expectation of meeting General Grant,
to learn definitely the terms he pro
posed in a communication received
from him on the 8th, in the event ot
the surrender of the army, I requested
a suspension of hostilities until these
terms could be arranged. In the in
terview which occurred with General
Grant in compliance with my request
terms having been agreed on, I sur
rendered that portion of the Army of
Northern Virginia which was on the
field, with its arms, artillery, and wagon-trains,
the officers and men to be
paroled, retaining their side arms and
private effects. I deemed this course
the best under all the circumstances
by which we were surrounded. On
the morning of the 9th, according to
the reports of the ordnance officers,
there were 7,892 organized infantry,
with arms, with an average of seventy
five rounds of ammunition per man.
The artillery, though reduced to 63
pieces, 63 rounds of ammunition was
sufficient. These comprised all the
supplies of ordnance that could be re
lied on in the State of Virginia. I
have no accurate report of the cavalry,
but believe it did not exceed 2,100
effective men. The enemy was more
than five times our numbers. If we
could have forced our way one day
longer it would have been at a great
sacrifice of life, and at its end I did
not see how a surrender could have
been avoided. We had no subsistence
for man or horse, and it could not be
gathered in the country. The sup
plies ordered to Pamplin's station from
Lynchburg could not reach us, and
the men, deprived of food and sleep
for many days were worn out and ex
hausted. With great respect, your obedient
servant, R. E. Lee, General.

GOLD STANDARD AT FAULT.
Bland has no Patience With This Talk
About Sound Currency.
St. Louis, April 16. Ex-Congressman
Richard P. Bland was interviewed
to-day relative to the letter of Presi

mittee. Mr. Bland says :
" Mr. Cleveland says the line of

1 D
Chicago, 111., April 16. Mr. W.
H. Harvey, chairman of the executive
committee of the Bi-metallic League,
whose headquarters are in Chicago,
prepared yesterday the following reply
to President Cleveland's letter to the
Chicago business men :
"To His Excellency, Grover Cleve
land, President, Washington, D. C.
Dear Sir: In reply to your letter
addressed to a committee oi business
men of this city, we wish to say that
the committee that waited on you and
the persons that attached their names
to the petition, did not represent a
majority of the business men and citi
zens of this city who take a deep in
terest in the welfare of this republic.
They represented the class that owns
money and securities payable in
money-fixed incomes. We respect
fully submit that your letter does not
present the true merits of this contro
versy. You call the attention of far
mers and wage earners to the fact that
the rising prices, while enabling them
to sell their products and labor at a
higher pricef will also cause them to
pay equally more for what they have
to purchase, but you neglect to say
that your statement is not applicable to
debts. With prices coming down
regularly and steadily since the de
monetization of silver, our merchants,
manufacturers, and people generally
have been doing business on a falling
market, so that the lime intervening
between the purchase of their merchan
dise or raw material and placing it
months after on the market has re
moved the margin they would have
otherwise made. This shrinkage in
values, added to the ordinary risk and
expense of business, has led to an ever
increasing volume of debt, to a money
lending period, until it has increased,
all told, public and private, to about
$40,000,000,000, or about two-thirds
of the total value of all the property in
the United States. We have constant
ly pointed the people to the ever-increasing,
interchangeable value of the
creditor's dollar, and to the reason
why it was increasing, but the influence
of these creditors have dominated
your administration and you insist on
such a currency as they have estab
lished as a sound currency. It means
the confiscation of the property of the
people by the sale of property under
mortgages, judgments and executions
It means that hxed incomes will wipe
out the interests of hundreds in our
railroads and corporations.
If it is an injustice to restore prices
so that people can exchange their
property for a sufficient number of dol
lars to pay their debts and bring hap
piness and prosperity to our land
again, it was a greater injustice to de
stroy the value of property and en
hance the value of money by the de
monetization of silver and the estab
lishment of a single gold standard.
The gentlemen who invited you and
petitioned you, only represent one
class of people. We respectfully sub
mit that it was safer that all the people
should do the thinking for it, than
that any class should do it for them.
The selfish interests predominate to
promote selfish interests when one
class does the thinking for all. Broad
views to iustly promote the common
At the battle of Agincourt 62,000
men were present, and the slain num
bered 11,400, or 18 percent.
At the battle of Bannockburn there
were 135,000 men engaged, and the
slain numbered 38,000, or 28 per cent.
1 At Gettysburg 140,000 men were
'opposed, and of this number the total
Federal loss was 28,191; the total
Confederate loss was 37,000.
The Battle of Barnet was one of the
most decisive ever fought. It was in
1 47 1, and closed the age of baron rule
in England.
The Battle of the British Soldiers is
a name given to the battle ol Inker
mann, November 5, 1854, because the
British troops bore the brunt of the
fighting.
The Battle of Wartburg is no deadly
conflict, but an annual singing contest
for a prize founded by Herrmann
Margrave, of Wartburg, in the twelfth
century.
The Battle of the Frogs and Mice"
is said to be the first satire on the
great Greek epics. It is commonly
attributed to the time of Homer, but
is said bv some critics to bear traces
of a much later age.
I he Battle of the Diamond was a
fight between the Protestants and
Catholics of Ireland in 1795. It had
its name from Diamond in the County
Antrim, where it was fought.
At Sadowa 402,000 men were op
posed, of whom 33,000 were killed,
wounded or taken prisoners. This
was 8 per cent., a far smaller figure
than in any leading battle of the
Napoleonic wars.
In the Battle of Marengo 58,000
men participated, and of that number
13,000 were killed or wounded, about
22 per cent. Napoleon thought
Marengo his greatest victory. He
always kept throughout his life the
uniform he wore on that day.
The Battle of the Bastards was a
brief conflict in 1324 between certain
Lords ot Gascony and Charles C. Bel,
of France. It was so called because
the Gascons had for their leaders two
or three bastard noblemen.
The Battle of the Moat was a con
flict before Medina, between Moham
med an! A du bohan. It was so
called b.aoSe most of the fighting was
done in the moat that Mohammed had
dug fo protect the city from the
beseigers.
The Battle of Hanging Koclc was
fought near a natural feature ol scenery
of that name in South Carolina,
August 6, 1870. The British were
defeated bv Sumter. This was the
first battle in which Andrew Jackson
took part.
The Tearless Battle was fought
between the Spartans on one side and
