Tb harvest of those villiuns it nearly over. Gonorul am- iio.ty mim eooncr or Inter be dvclnrcd, no different bow unpalatablo it mny bo to Radicalism. The Philadelphia Age, in a late iHnue, sets the business forth In its Iruo light in tho following aitiole : " This qiioBtion will be taken up in Congross next Monday. It involves the honor of the nation. It may be worth while fur every citizen to think a little about it; aud to know some thing about it. The terra "general amnesty" ex presses that wise political oblivion that everv atnlcumiin. everr intnlli. gont man knows to be tho true policy Willi rugara to acts that wore nharutl or Approved by millions of people. lcars have now elapeu, una every opportunity lias boon allordod to pro ceed in exceptional cases, for the frcneral action of the body of tho nouthorn people in the luto civil war, there is in truth no practical course posxiblo but that of amnesty. W hy has it been Uolityotl ! It has been delnyoJ in the interest of tho foulest and dirliost truffle that over digraced a nation tho trade in special pardons. iuis trade un nourishing branch of the system of extortion which tho lladical carpet boggors liavo ostub lixbed at the South, and it is this as sociation of thieves that has succeed ed in wielding nil influence at Wanh ington, and with the Iladicul press, stillicient to resist the general senso ol tho country in favor of general urn ncsty. It is truo that the gcnoral stench of this infamy has a Utile martled Presi dent Grant, now that he is on tho anxious seat as a candidate for re- oloction. Hitherto, an opponent of general amnesty, and constantly quoted sgainst it by bis own organs, lie nas' thought it expedient lo put Into his late roessago of December 4th, what might bo taken as a recom mendation or amnesty. But it was not explicit enough to prevont his ol ficiul organs from continuing to do- clare that ho is opposed to it. We nnd it poxilivoly asserted in tho jour nal published by the chief federal ol-fico-holdcr in this city, that "the Pres ident is not, howovcr, prepared for general amnesty." (Press, Uouember 25.) Tha game now of the pardon mongers is to kcop their trade alive by putting into tho proposed bill largo classes of exceptions, not for any pur pose of punishment or exclusion, but to make them bny apodal pardons of tho dealers in that article The trade has begun hrixkly at this session, and ll has been briekly driven at every sossion xince tho close of the war, now nearly seven yoars ago. Al every session, bill alter bill is panned, each containing tho names of liundreds of humble, 'obicuro individuals who have boon blllied into buying purdnns. TIicko iiilli look liko pfigcs torn ul random I out. of a directory 1 Every man wlio holds or aspires to hold tho pettiest rfllco is thicttencl with pains and pel allies by sneaking carpel bag informer-, milium ho buy a pardon for his cringes.

Hut what wo say is tho literal truth ; no ago, or character, or pacific course of lite cun shield a mnn from the exaction of these harpies. If ho was too old to bear arms, ho is acouscc' of giving a morsel ot bread to somebody who did bear arms, and this, ir tho view of tho lladical linrpios in and out of Con gross, constitutes the conveniently vuguo onenso ol "giving aid and com fort to tho enemy." To feed tho hungry, to ministor to tho dying, js constituted a crime, for which a man must buy his pardon 1 We speak by tho rocoid. We havo looked at il narrowly. It is shrouded from tlio public, but it is printed, when it can not bo helped, 111 the Congiosional (ilube.

Depletion of Soils. From tha Country Oentleman.

This wus in a report made lo Congress in 1849, from the Agricultural Department. Sinco that lime tho undersigned has investigated tho turned out old fields and agriculture of tho Southern States patiently, il not thoroughly, ovor twen ty years, and he feels confident that there are two hundred million acres (about half in old field and half under fence) in the Union, which aro deplet ed lo the extent al least ol ten dollars injury por aero, on a fuir uverago. In other words, our landed eMale is real ly poorer than nature made it by two thousand million dollars. If we cease to do this evil io the futuro, and learn to do well, this damage may soon bo repaired ; but if wo continue to follow tho bad example of Persia from tho days of hor greatest agricultural de velopment when she fed and tlothod vast armies to conquer tho world, bo sido focding und clothing all tho work ing farmers ard mechanics at homo, wo too, In tho future shall dio by hundreds of thousands from starvation, precisely as the Persians have died within a year.

They wore smoking, laughing and story-tolling While a peal ol laughter which lollowed soinu joko was dying out, Iho door opened and nn old man entered the room.

Ho up proached ono of tho young mon, and removing his cup, asked for certain information. A : polite answer was givon, but no unusual allontion was given to tho old gentleman, and he tottered out ot the room. His com ing and his going excited uo remark ; it was a usual circumstance fur peoplo of all grades and ages, to mako in quiries in that room, aud such as go there are answered courteously, but briefly. Thore was nothing unusual in that caso, only I happened to know the old man. lie Is only another of ino case mui every tiny occar, to re mind us ol tho mutability of human affairs. Sco whut a change is here. Ton years ago, ,ho world was ringing with this man s name, it was shout ed from the West Indies, it thrilled tho West nnd tho East; it was homo across tho Atlantic, taken up in Great liritiau, and echoed across the chan nel into Franco. Returning, it re sounded from the Potomac to the Gulf of Mexico, und was cheered by hundreds of thousands of soldiers who wero camped about this city. Songs were sung for him ; addresses wero mudo to him ; his picluro was fur sulo al every newspaper stand, tho press teemed with his praiso; tho govern ment Honored him : tho whole coun try was proud of him; wherever ho wenl he was honored j the boys in the streets took off their huts lo him he wis the lion everywhere, in tho streets, at the hotel, in society, at church ; wherever he went, everybody aid homago lo htm. JNow, tho change ; there is 'nono so poor to do him revercuco. A Blundering Executive. The hifctory of General Grant sinco his election to tho Presidency hits been a history or cross blunders nnd signal defeats. Wherever bo has meddled he has marred.

Rarely has tho episenpato of any church beon decimated so suddenly . by death, superinduced by overwork.' as hue been that of Ihe Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States' during the past four years. Indeed, half of the effective bishops who pre sided at the Uoneral Conference four yoars ago have gone to their blissful' reward, lhero aro nvo out ot nine remaining, four of whom only are effective, and they are nearing tho al lotted tiino of man'a probation on the earth. Bishop Thomas Morria, the senior Bishop of the Methodist Church, has been superannuated '.heso many years, but by husbanding a once strong aud vigorous constitution ,0 is able to travel from bis Ohio homo to the East and be present at Iho General Confer-, enco now in session in Brooklyn. He is in the seventy. eighth your of hi -life, the fifty-sixth of his ministry nnd the thirty-sixth of hie episcopate. lie enterod the Ohio Conference in 1816,, when timtStato was llio"Grcst West" and nearly all beyond was unknown territory. He perlormcd reomnn H orvico for the Church in that region ' when such men of indomitable courage and porsovcronce and One physical constitution wero needed to plant Methodism in the New World. Last Sunday, April '1, he completed hit seventy cignlh year, and as ho looks back over tho progress which hi Church nnd his country have mad during his conscious lifetime his heart naturally swells with salistuction ana grntitudo lo God, who has spared him so long. Though advanced in years tho Bishop is by no moans an "old fogy." no bus kepi pace with Iho march or human progress, and no man today rejoices moro than ho in the dovclop-. ments oi tno last lew years, liishop Morris wns in his tiino u fluent preach- or, a ready writer nnd a laborious' pastor, llis crowo is awaiting hira over tho river. Bishop E. S Janes, though not tho oldest in years, is now the senior effec tive Superintendent of tbo Church. Uo has just passed the sixty fifth yenr of his ago, tho forty-second of bis min istry and the twenty eighth of his bishopric. Ho joined the Philadel phia Conference in lgiiO, and was chosen to tho episcopal office by the General Conference which met in this city in 1844 the year in which the Methodist Church divided on the sla very question. He has lived to see that bone of contention ground to powder and mada an agent to over throw the fubric which itself raisod. He has been in labors abundant ever since, and last year ho travelled over twenty-five thousand mile to meets Annual Conferences. When it is re membered that thero are seventy two conferences in tho United States and but four bishops to meet them it will bo seen that their yoke is not easy nor their burden a light ono. As a preacher Bishop Janes ranks high. On subject vital to Methodism, such as missions, church extension nnd itineracy, in which ho is deeply interested, ho bo comes eloquent, and his musical voico whon warmed up gives him a power over an audience which enmparatively few ministers possess. Ho is an nd mirablc executive officer and is greatly beloved by his ministerial brethren. Iiis homo is in this city.- liisdinn I.eri Scnlt ia In I hn entrnn.j tiolh year of his age, tlio forty sixlh of his ministry and twentieth of his episcopate. During those twenty years bo has failed to meet but threo of tho conferences assigned to him, and thoso failures were caused hy sickness lust year. Uo entered the Philadelphia, Conference in 1820. His homo is in" Delaware, where his preRcnco in tho community is fell as tho gonial sun shine after a shower on the i,cw mown grass. Bishop Scott was elected ta this office at a tiino when ho was Bool: Agent in tho Methodist publishing hotiso in this city and the present agent, Dr. Carlton, was elected to that position Iho sumo year, nnd has re mained in it ever since. Tho gentle ness and geniality of Bishop S-otts nalurovjiro very manifest in nil his sermons and utterances. His chief desire is to spend and bo spent in the service, of Christ nnd of the Church of his choice Uo iB in rather feeble health al present. Bishop i,. It. Ames is now a little ovor sixty-six years of ago, having been born March 30,1800. Ho en tered the Illinois Conference In 1S30, and was elected In tho episcopal oflice in 1852 by tho General Conference, which met in Boston, llo has a tino physical I'r.inio nnd looks young and active enough for work for many years yet in his Master's causo. Tho Bishop bus in him Ihe elements of success in almost any lino of business) he might purseo. A vein of quiet humor underlies his mental constitu tion, nnd ho ums u littlo of il once and again to relieve tho tedium of debato among bis brethren. He is, however, by some considered to be a lilllo too. imperious at times in ruling upon im portant matters which have agitated the Church. Bui no one hns doubted that he has acted most conscientiously. He Is n very pleasing, though not a vcrv brilliant ureaclier. but is a I'ood cxcculivo olliccr and laborious workor in Iho Church. Bishop Matlhow Simpson lacks about a month of being sixly ono years of ago. llo was born Juno ll), 1811, and is tho youngest i (ie hisliojis.--. Ho joinotl tho Pittsburgh Conlerenee in 1V38 nnd was mada a bishop by tho General Confcronco of 1S32. As a preacher it is doubtful whether ho has any suporior in tho Methodist Episco pal Church in the United Stiilee. Uie eloquence is of that kind which dravvi tho community nnd enchains them, and il is easier Tor tho Bishop to keep together and entertain and lustre1 l it congregation ol livo thousand pcf.ons for two hours than It r:ould oe lo.-our average ministers to keep und enter tain five hundred for twenty minutes.

Bui as tho present General Conference will elect proba bly not lens than eight moro Bishops, thu Wnetern nnd Southern Conference! may demand a fair rcprcsrnlalion.not only in tho election but in tho rosi deuces of tho elect. A proposition has been discussed in the Church papers lo divide tho country into ecclesiasti cal province or episcopal districts, and to require tho pcrmaiiunl residence of a bishop in each. This, may b found practicable at tho present lime, but it would not have been so a few yeors ugo. Y. Herald.
