for publication by the correspondent of the
Associated Tress with the Army of the Po

Culpepper county, Virginia, Mr. Holts enters
an eniphat protest against his afreet and the
destruction of his property by the rebels,
and flatly denounces the evils of Confederate
rules, Afler pome preliminary remarks, iu
contradiction of false? reports coiiecniing
himself, lie says :
HOW Till: ACCOUNT STANDS MK. BOTT's
vruoNfiS.
"Let til fee how the account stands). On
my part, I have done nothing from fust to
last of which the ioveinnieiit can complain,
unless it be that 1 have not become demo
cratized and have made no collections to !
! democracy, and have none to make here-
after, and because I have not chosen to fob 1
! low biindly wherever democracy might I
I choose to lead. j
"(n the other hand, of wiip'. have I to j
complain? First, the legislative power of ;
the government hits been especially directed j

I had been until ten o'clock, picking up and
nursing the wounded men Ct' both parties,
more than twenty of whom was brought to

said it was wrong, and should not have done
it, but they were ordered to destroy 'w hat-1

be regarded ns tititlipittic, tltnt the sole
pround of my arrrat waa that I lmd enter
tained General Mende and oilier federal ofli-
cers at my table ; and if it not that, it j
wns upon some other pretext equally frivo- j
!ous and contemptible, which I hereby chal- i
lengo General Stuart td lay before the)
public ; and if it, be any ofii nLt. against the
pence and dignity of Uencrul Htunrt, or of :
the Confederate government that I should
have entertained federal officers at my table, j
which would justify my arrest, then Major-j
(Jencral Stuart has signally failed fn the
discharge ot lus uuty to tne peace atul dig-
nitv of his government nnd to the peace and
-i: i. . 1 1 ,1 I ,1 , t-...
iiignity ot me aioresani .uajur-vieiicrai ntu- secure as large a snare nl respect iiml estei-nt
ni t, by not bringing me to trial for this high as any one w ho has ever lived in the coun
criuuand misdemeanor' for although it is try, and in this condition ofthim's it was
not true that General Meade took his dinner
at iny table. I hereby make it known to all
whom it mav concern that I invited him to
do so, nnd deeply regretted t)iat his con
(.taut engagements prevented his acceptance
of the invitation. 1 moreover further pro
claim that it lie should return to tlns.vi' ini
is.vi' ini-
ly (which I do not at all anticipate) I shall
in all probability subject myself to another
arrest by a reception of the otl'enee, without
consulting General Smart's pleasure on the
subject.
WHOM HE has r.NTKHTAIM'.P.
"The truth is I have entertained freely nnd
hospitably the officers and gentlemen of
both armies whose acquaintance I havu en
joyed, and shall continue to do so so longiis
1 am master of my own house, and so lung
as they treat me with kindness anel civility,
let it offend whom it may provided the
means are left me with which to entertain
them, aud unless iu the meantime I shall be
prohibited by law, or by some higher au
thority than tliat ft" (bne'ral Stuart. In fact,
I have met with no ollicer in the Confeder
ate army, and with few privates with wliom
I was acquainted, from General Robert K.
Lee down, with thw exception of General
Stuart, that I have not invited lo my house
nearly all of whom have partaken of my
hospitality whilst hundreds of half famish
ed soldiers have been furnished with meals,
for which 1 have never churned the first
dime, whilst they were in the habit of pay
ing, ns they said themselves, to braw ling
secessionists from two to three dollars a
meal ; but this furnished no ground of com
plaint with any gentleman of the northern
army, niauy-nf wh'jiu expressed their sur
prise atiel irratilication on hearing that they
had visited me thus freely ami familiarly.
ANOTHCU ACCUSATION .M'N'hD.
'Cut no sooner was I arrested, than the
whole atmosphere was filled with rumors to
my disadvantage and ptcjudiee; niuoii the
rest, that I had been caught in the federal
lines on the day of the light, with firms in
my hands to .b used against the Confeder
ate government.
"The eircuiiislH,'CfS which gave rise to
this rumor arc as follows: As a portion of
the federal cavalry ptn.ed ! house, about )
two o clock on Sunday, my neiglioor, jlr.
Uradford, sent me a note, saying he had be-eu
arrested, and was then in the custody of the
federal oilicers. and asked me to ride over to
lirandy Station to meet him ; w hich I did.
On my return I passed Gen. Fornax's brigade
and when half their column had passed me,
and was between l'i1 and the federals, and
in the presence of the other half, I met
young Slaughter, the son of Dr. Slaughter,
nf Culpepper Court Hon'", w ho had u gun
and knapsack in his hand; v ith which tn
cufibraiiee he could not erir.trol his horse,
and asked me to fake it wit'i tne to my
house Stiel keep it until lie called f ir it. At
great ioeemveiiicnco 1 took it, and this act
of kin, bit si and uccnmmndMtioii to Mr.
Shtucjhte.r was tortured into mv l.et'i'ingnnn.s
against the South: though GcnTi! Stuart
himself knew what had carried uie to Kran
dy, for he had sent a letter irom me to Mrs.
Uradford, telling of the arrct of her bus
baud pud nf my having been sent for to meet
him at lirandy Station,
ins ! untVttTV Di.sTiiovr.i) nv iiii: rti:ni.i.s.
''However, then- rumors, publications and
arrests have had their desired effect, as they
have led 10 liie luO-l W ulitoli. wicked a:i.l
savage destruction nf my property, such us I
hae already mentioned, and excited the
prejudice of the army, aud possibly of mis.
led citizens, against me. IJut I hope to
outlive it all, while the authors of such van
('ii' siu w ill 1,-j J to a just iiceouiiluliil'ty al
the hands cf a military coinuiander, v.-h.vc
high moral, intellectual and military quali
ties are jiisllv esteemed bv the whole coun
try, and by none more highly than myself;
and if not by him, then by a -till higher-
military authority, to wit : the War Depart
ment ; and. if not there, then by the civil
tribunals of the country ; and, if not there,
then by a just, di:erimiuuting and indignant
public judgment.

This is one of the most important bruit-
ches connected with Agriculture. It may
be said to dominate nearly all others. To
, know wherein lies the greatest amount of
virtue in the application of inftr.itivs, is cer
tainly iu these days a scarcity of home-made,
manure.,, worthy of the careful couoieleratioli
of farmers. The Rostou CvUiraVtr argues
this and kindrcel questions with u great
deal of intelligence. Its latest urtiele is the
following, which is worthy of the attention
of our rentiers.
Few questions have been more frequently
discussed by farmers than the dentil to
which manure should be buried. Theorv us
wcii a, practice in reunion to tins point lias
sane. i wii.eiy. erne man Holds that the
great point is to guard against the waste of
"ll'',-s by exposure to the atmosphere, and

iii a discussion ai me mate iiouse, last wm
ter, one speaker went so lar as to say that
, no fertilizing element could be carried by
. w ater through live or six inches of sand.
; Others take the position that immures lo-t
I nothing by exposure to the air, and that
' they may be simply spread ou the surface of
the ground, with a certainty that the soil
: and crops will ultimately receive the full
i bttu fit of them.
Heretofore we have had but little positive
' evidence in regard to these points the ad-
vocates of different theories and methods
reasoning rather from general observation
than from actual results ot experience. As
a means of settling some of the question iu
which the subject is involved, the Mus-achu-
to year. The basis laid down for the exper
lmeiits was tins :
I Five lots of land of equal qttaTitity mi l j
, quality were to be selected ; each of the five I
lots were to receive a deep plowing, a thai- !
'low plowing, and a harrowing; the only j
: difference being that, on lot No. 1, the ma
nure was to lie plowed in deep which is I
understood to mean us deep as it could be j
conveniently done by ihe- plow ; on lot No. '
! 1, plowed ill shallow ; nil lot No. il, buried '
only slightly say by harrowing; on lot No. I
, t, left on tiie surfuee. An equal quantity I
' und qiiulity of manure was to be applied to ;
: 1 ach of these four lots, but lot no .) was to !
l e lelt without any Ui.ini.rc. Common bam- I
I van manure was 10 m- ucii, and the tltlh r

are (inly the results of one seasot , and. that
the produce of the same lots must be com
pared iu several succeeding years before we
can assume that the advantages of either
deep or sUullow manuring nre dcinonstratral.
In regard lo the experiments, it is to be ob
served, that "in order to have a completely
satisfactory result, sufficient manure, nay not
le-s than ten or twelve cords of bnriiynrd
manure, or its equivalent, should be applied
to the acre ; enough at. ull events to have
the effects of it felt during the period of the
trial."
Some trials in the application of mauurcs
by the late R. V. French, of Rraintree, arn
alluded to. In plowing a piece of sward
ground, he plowed in manure at the rate of
ubout ten cords lo the acre, ou a portion of
it. It was green, strong ruat.ttre, just from
the stable, and he took much pains lo havu
it placed in the furrow, so thai it should be
fairly buried to the depth which the plow
ran, which was not less than eight inches.
We can state these points with .some partic
ularity, as we have often heard Mr. French
describe the experiment, nnd have been with
him over the field where il was made. As
we have said it was only a part of the field
that the manure was put in the furrows.
After it was nil plowed, it was all manured
alike pud the iminun! worked in slightly.
None "of the snecceding crops for kcvcial
years showed any advantage in favor of the
part whero manure wus put in the furrow t
and Mr. French used to say, that he believed
the manure which was thus deposited, "was
as completely lost as if it had been dropped
into the dock at the end of Long Wharf."
The soil in this ease w as rather cold, uud
for a considerable portion of the year too
wet. The space at the bottom of" the fur
rows formed channels for drainage, and the
water coming into immediate contact with
the niauure probably carried off its soluble
elements.
I'l'lie Value of I'irmj:rl nnniirc,
This must vary according to the system
j adopted; "it is certain that a man must,
not expect the same increase of crops from
j washed and decayeel straw, us his neighbor,
j whose manure is made under cover, nnd
contains the essence of cake and corn. Dr.
j Play fair hus compared tho hotly of an
j animal to a furnace the food is fuel and
I the excrements are the ashes, and the gasc
j respired from the luoulh nre of tho same
composition in those which fly up the
chimney of the furnace. If the food or fuel
j supplied to an animal be abundant and of
j rich quality, the man tire produced is vahia-
ble ; but if the food is indifferent, too watery
I as w hitii turnips, or too woody as straw, or
if supplied scantily or insufficiently, tho
manure is almost "valueless, nnd till the
. turning and heaping up possible will not
render' that vnbaible whieh wns hefnri-
j utmost worthless. The manure of a full
grown animal cannot be so much exhausted
, us that from voting growing animals, to
1 v. li'.h bone one? mti-e'e have to be supplied,
: neiiliOi con tliu lnautiic of working Cliltiu
; or milch cows be equal ," "' bittenim'
j animals, even when kept on the same food."
These considerations lend to tho conclu
sion that fattening animals are piixlucers
, of the best manure; "for. to make uu animal
: (f 1'"1' f'c jjutcher ut a piofit, it must bo
elone as qtiicklf as possible, and in order to
to accomplish that object, it must he amply
supplied with rich, flesh-forming food; uud
as un animal w hen almost fat only extracts
from the food a small proportion of tho
'nitrogenous matters, eoutaiued. it follows
t1!lt the remainder w ill be ejected from the
1 -vstem s tle,t tho ,.e ;,.ti,,;t,. i .,;.
j ',al is, the richer will be the manure." It
. . ...
is tuns nad ecoromy to send uuiuiais to tho
butcher when only "half fat.

III deciding what to use the relative price
of those nrticli s of food must be taken into
account us well as their nutritive value.
The writer says there is no doubt that it is
more profitable to associate routs, cake and
grain together in the feeding of cattle than
to endeavor to feed 1111 aiiinid with tin
