I). \\ lUMSDILL it Co.— Dear Sira i had thirty- 
four pounds of Norway Oats from yon. and sowed 
them on one anil one-quarter acres of common 
ground, manured two yearn ago. We harvested 
them yesterday, and have 130 shock*.. that I am sure 
will yield line bushel each when thrashed. They 
looked handsome when growing, and are superior in 
every respect, Tim kernels are plump, with very 
thin hulls, and I am sure no furrner who sees or 
knows the fuels about this gram w ill evor want to 
grow the old kinds. Truly yours. L. CARlt.

Interesting as n personal indictment aguinst the 
Confederate leader. When wo say we do not 
like tho book, we speak from no partisan motive. 
Wo judge it simply as a literary and historical 
production, and so considered it is ol small 
value. Its preface Is strangely egotistical and 
bombastic; and tin* promises therein contained 
arc not fulfilled in tho thirty-one chapters fol¬ 
lowing'. Professing to give u secret history of 
the Confederacy* it gives little heretofore un¬ 
known, and that little is nol of remarkable Im¬ 
portance, Tbe general style is inflated, and by 
no means elegant.

There is no acknowledgment of authorship. The 
following Is the modest preface:—"This volume 
is devoted to those inquiries which now agitate 
the thinking world. It is committed to tin; care 
of ilie Christian Church. Us truths are Gob’s, 
and will live forever, ltscri'orsure theauthor's; 
they will be overruled, forgotten, and. he trusts, 
forgiven.” Only this, and nothing more. That 
the book is the production of a clear reasoning, 
logical mind, Is evident. That its author is a 
flrm believer in the great truths of revealed re¬ 
ligion is no less apparent. Whoever he may be, 
he has written what, should lie widely and cure- 
fully read. There arc hour general subjects 
treated of,—A Supernatural Book, Supernatural

Destiny, and in these are Involved many minor

els, weighing 3(1 pounds to (he buslie!, from one bushel 
of sect!: which we consider enormous. They grow 
strong, with large heads. I am firmly of the opinion 
that they are one hundred per edit, better and more 
profitable for the farmers to grow than any other kiud 
of oats. Respectfully yours, S. W. Baku.
