and Horticultural Friends.
Aiuoii tin accumulation of letters
. we have been trying to got through
with for Fevtrkl weeks past, we find
favors from old friend and eorreppon
dentebefore the war J. E. Johnson
and M. W. PaiLLirs.
. "Jot" Joilssox, when wo came to
. this country in w as then one of
the editors aiidpuLUs'hers of the Cbwn-
cUJDluJs Bugle; afterward .of a nciv
paper at Crescent City, Iowa. Then
again he took up a line of march west
ward, along what is now tho Union
Pacific Railroad, publishing a little
paper here and there along the route,
. ntil we Iofct fcight of him for years
- past. Now he turns up as the editor
and publisher of the Bio Virgen Times,
St. George, Utah. Mr. Johnson has
- always been and is yet, both a teacher
and praclicioncr In Agriculture, Hor
ticulture, and the like. He sends us a
v lot of scctU from his homo in Utah,
and writes a long letter of date March
28th, the perusal of which makes us
feel more in love with the soil, climate,
&nd general fruit growing characteris
tics of Utah. 'The following are a few
extracts: - :
"I cm publishing a little weekly.
Bio Virgen Time, at this place. I
enclose a few Feeds of our native flow
ers, and cUo of the Sand or "Wall"
Cherry I consider pynonimous. Our
trees and shrubs are in bloom.
Thi3 location Is 3-0 miles
outh of Salt Lake City, and Is war
mer than middle Texas. . We have but
little enow. Ice or frost any time. Vol
, canic rocks and red sand btone, and
the finest exotic grapes flourish here
tharmingly. We have many new,
i rare and luscious fruits in npple, pear,
. plum, aprieot, peach and cherry ;, also
currants and grapes. I came here on
account of fruit, three years ago, and
, . grubbed out my ground, planted my
' trees and vines, and am as far ad
vanced as I would have been there in
ten years. 'Tis a lovely climate, and
the bast fruit country I ever saw.
Should you come through, you should
by all means make a detour this way,
oryoulope one-half the beauty and
; magnificence of fruit. '
Are you a member of Am. Pom.
' Society 2 I have tho honor to be Vice
- President for Utah, and would like to
attend the convention in Philadelphia
next September. You should be there
and come back with mo if I go .down.
P Do you want Cactus, Yuccas, and
the like? If I had a list of your trees
and plants, I might sec sometnlng l
wanted. But if you have any choice
' lillies, gladiolus, or other flowering
bulbs, or root of Tor. Phlox, Snow
ball or Hoheysuckle, a few cuttings of
the. Walter, Tehama and r,umelau
Grapes, they may be valuable for our
friends north, and I am catering to
their necessities somewhat.
- Dr. .Phillips Is an old and ardent
" Southern cultivator. Before the war
ho wa3 located In Edwards, Miss.,
; ..where we enjoyed an intimate corres
pondence with him, and reciprocal fa
vors passed between us for many yenrs.
The last letter we received from him
7 was just after the war commenced, In
which he aid; "I do not approve of
this war ; have advised against It as
long as possible. We are into It, how-
ever, and I go with my people, let the
results bo what they may." Now the
Doctor, we find editing an agricultural
paper, and located at Stonewall, Chat-
awa Station, Miss. He writes us of
date March 22, and while it ''smacks'
somewhat of "Dixie's Land," we take
.the liberty .of making some extracts
vcrbalum. Speaking of the war, he
Bays: ' . . , '
"Why, Othello's occupation gone!
,': I used to drive a few score of darkies,
ana net Dales or cottonmv the hun
dred. Now, plague take Sherman and
Grant, I haven't got an X or a V. But
I am as saucy at 03 as most young
folks used to be. Tho young folks
now-a-daj-s are too lazy to be saucy.
. I am on the Railroad, Vo
miles above Jew uneans, and deter
mined if I do die poor, I , will not die
. a coward.' I will be found at my post,
and with a knife, budding, grafting,
pruning : or a spade, or a rake, or hoe.
or some tool of iron, and with my face
"to the foe. Gen. Sherman burned up
.. an. Agricultural implement factory
forme, worth $40,OjO; 20,000 worth
f seasoned timber, and more than
that of plows, wagons. &c, in differ
ent conditions of forwardness. My
plantation was gutted ; gin house and
2o0 bales of cotton, went off in smoke.
But, bless you, I spit ou my hands,
and tooK a jresn hold ; manned a bran
- new gale, and hope after a little to be
xit atraln. My grand sires were born
. in Dixie's land, and I. have the revo
lutionary fires in me am not to be
conquered by fire and lead. Old Mas
, ter can only do that when he piles a
few feet of dirt on mo.
"The days when you and I corres
- ponded and exchanged favors, were
r glorious days, and we will never see
thcrn more ! never I never! The hos-
pitality and open heart and hand of
the Southern gentleman, is a thing of

ka City. j
Last week wo made a flying visit to
Nebraska City. By invitation of Judge
Mason, in company with others, we
visited his form, where we had cur
attention particularly directed to Ids
,,Glencoe"wlts. There were some one
year old, and others this spring colts.
The opinions .of all who have seen
them are unanimous in pronouncing
them superior in . their, class, vve
make no pretentions as a judge of
horse flesh, but acknowledge that the
"Glcncoe" colts completely come up
to ourideasof excellence. The Judge,
of course, feels flattered with his ef
forts to improve the stock of horses In
this State, and is anxious that people
should have an opportunity to see the
Gloneoo stock. To this end he has
authorized us to say that he desires all
who have CJIencoe colts to have them
at the State Fair this falh Ho has a
fine pasturage Just across the. road
from tho Fair Grounds, and will pro
vide for marcs and colt3 free of ex
pense to the owners. This is liberal
on the part of the Judge, and is, too,
rather a new idea ; one, Jiowever, we
think, cannot fail to produce good re
sults. i
Let others follow this example. If
there are owners of other good horses
in this State, who are endeavoring io
improve our stock, let them Invite
owners of colts to bring them to the
State Fair. Beat Mason if you can.
No man will take a beat in this way
more kindly than Judge Mason.
While at the City, we also enjoyed
a visit to the gardens and nursery of
Mr. Joel Draper. We did not find
Mr. D. at home; but Mr. Raymond
was there, and kindly showed 'tis
throuc-h the grounds. In connection
with the nursery business Mr. Draper
commenced early to plant fruit trees
for bearing purposes, and ' is now
reaping the reward of his early labor,
lie will have a very fair crop of ap
ples; and pear, trees are really over
loaded with fruit. The grasshoppers
have cut his garden some, but alto
gether it looks well, and there Is reason
to be proud of all under charge of Mr.
Draper and Raymond. . .
"UxcleBex. Wthyte," of Nemaha
City, has one of, the best gardens th'is
vcitr. we have ever seen.' lie has fine
soil, planted early, of pure Landreth
seed, and has given unremitting at
tention. No one knows more about
the garden, both vetetables and flow
ors, than" "Uncle Ben." The grass-
hoppers have not troubled him, and
he is having a fine turn out. He will
furnish the . people of Brownville
what they may want In his line, j
Gray?s School and Field Cooli
Hook ol Iiolatiy. t
Tho Publishers, Ivison, Thinney,
Blakeman, & Co., 47nd 4D Green St,
New York, have furnished us with a
copy cf thl3 excellent and valuable
book. It Is a most popular and com
prehenslve school Botany, adopted to
beginners and advanced classes. . It is
adopted for use as a hand-book to as
sist In analyzing plants and flowers in
field study of Botany, either by class
es or individuals. The book is inteh
ded to furnish Botanical classes and
beginners with an easy introduction
to the plants of this country. ' Begin
ning with first principles, it progresses
by easy stages, until the student is en
abled to master the Intricacies of the
science. It is a Grammar and Die
tionary of Botany, and comprises the
common herbs, shrubs and trees of
tho country."' This, work supplies. a
great dislderatum to the Botanist and
Botanical Teacher, there beings no
similar class-book published in this
country. SSG pages ; price $2. . - ' i
. Ca&Imicrc Goats !
The California Farmer in speaking
of the Cashmere Goat In ' that State,
says:
These animals are rapidly increas
ing in our totav. w e are constantly
receiving letters from parties who are
largely interested in them, and whose
hocks are now from to 700 in num
oer, ana in some cases exceed one
thousand.
We desire to learn from all raisers
of these animals their present number
ana their grade, together with the
quantity of fleece they may, have on
hand and the character of the fleece,
as we have imported letters of inquiry
from abroad touching this matter,
which may lead to the early demand
and manufacture of this staple here,
so that if our raisers will but give us
tho needed returns, we may matcrcal
ly aid them hi their enterpriser ;
From information already received,
we learn of the flock of N . Gilmore,
Esq., of Eldorado, which now con
sists of 500 Goats J, J, J, and 15-16.
Mr Gilmore having2S full blood Bucks
in his fiock, and steadily advancing to
