The present policy of the Department
N,l- Na,p 0r1noI,S

The present policy of the Department
is 10 run from Ncw-lork to New-Orlcans
bv the route which can be most rapidly
travelled. and scatter the benefits to the
cities, towns, and country, right anu Iel,, oy
improving the existing mail routes. Inc
upper line advertised from Fredericksburg,
Virginia, to Columbus, Georgia, Is about
60 miles nearer than the lower linc, whlch
is now the great mail route; but on the
lower line there arc two rar roads, and II
conti;cls shall be obtained with them on ia-
vorabc terms, it will be eXpedicnt to run the
express on that line. But il no contracts
are obtaincd with them, it is probable the
Department will adopt the upper line, where
the speed will be less rapid, and consequent
" the mail more certain and less expensive
than on the lower line. The point will be
decided when the lettings are to be made.
So far as the service ofthe Post Office De-
par mcnt is concerned, one of tue principal
advantages expected from express mails Is,
that they will render it mcasarabiy indcpen-
dent OF the rail roads. BY running night
and day, this mail will outrun their cars.
The interest which the community now feel
in the expedition otthe great mail will mea-
slwabIv cease when the news shall tc brought
much sooner by the express. 1t will be-
com, a matter OF comparatively little mo-
mnnt whether that mai be carried lite
faster ora little slower; and il the rail roads
will not carry it at areasonablc price, there
will be no public Inconvenience, and but
little complaint, it'it be carried il stages or
wagons.
Yet, it will be matter Of interest that the
rail roads should carry the great mail.
Wherever they undertake to do SO, and con-
form to the hours Of the Department, the
whole mail will travel with expedition of an
express, aud the triple postage will be saved
to the citizen. Such will be the case be-
tween New.York and Philadelphia. be-
tween Baltimore and Washington, between
Fredericksburg and Richmond, and between
Petersburg and Blakclv Dcpo. DESTROYS
of accomplishing that object as far as posi-
bic, the Post Master General has invited
proposals on the portions of the line occu-
pied by rail roads, for carrying the great
mail and The express also in rail road cars.
We trus; there is a spirit on both sides
which will lead to the formation Of satslac-
tory contracts with the rail road companies.
where their roads are completed on this
great line.

ASr1-ABoL1rIoN MEETING IN CINCINNATI,

ANTI-ABoLITIoN MEETING IN CINCINNATI.
We find in the Cincinnati Wing, report
of the proceedings Of meeting in relation to
an abolition paper published in that city by
James G. Birney. The meeting is said by the
Whg to have been most respectable, and to
have consisted of about three thousand per-
sons. The resolutions were adopted unani-
mously and by acclamation. Among them
were the following:
RESOLVED, That the establishment of the
said abolition press in this city is direct vio-
lation of the solemn pledge heretofore given
by its conductor at a public meeting on this
subject.
Reso!rea, That in the opinion of this meet
mo nothing short of the absolute discontinue
ance of the publication of the said abolition
paper in this city, can prevent resort TO :. q
violence, which may be as disastrous 10 its
publisher and supporters, as it must be 10 tne
good order and fair fame of our city.

found respect for the memories OF the Venela, !,

PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION OF A SUCCESSOR.
Without decming it necessary, and cer-
tainly without feeling the disposition to
aSsail the motires of the present President
of the United Safes, it is our settled con.
viction that his elevation TO the Chief Ma
gis.racv is the most unfortunate and Gun
toward event. that has ever occurred un-
der our government. We wish dis met
" TO be understood when we say this.
We are particularly desirous not to be
considered as making such a declaration
as mere partisans; because nothing could
do more injustice TO the spirit with which
We have set down to pen the remarks
we arc about 10 make. For the personal
character of General Jackson we have in
many of its. points, a very high respect
aud We are of opinion, that in its best es-
tate, and while it was suffered TO show It.
self as nature made it, uniniluenced by the
paltry demagogucs who have poisoned the
atmosphere in which the Presidents mind
has moved, it would have been eXeried
for the true interests of the country. 1t
is quite true that there arc certain weak
spo:s of which VIC once were unaware:
that are dangerous in the character of a
man called to administer this government !;
but with this drawback, General Jack
son might have made 4 safe and cfficicn;
President of the United S,a'cs, if he could
have been surrounded with proper coun-
selors, instead of calling about him, as
he unfortunately has done, host Of vc-
ry weak, very wicked. and very design
ing men. We are disposed to acquit the
personal character Of the President of a
very large share of the iniquity to which
it has given sanction since his induction
into office, because VIC arc unwilling to
believe that he has meaat to do any thing
very wrong. But the weak point Of his
charactcr-his assailablAy to tho base
flattcry of unprinciplcd men-has render
ed his administration one Of most dele
terious, and we fear fatal import to the
country. Without knowing it himself,
perhaps, he has allowed a knot Of political
desperadocs to use his name and his un-
prccedcntcd personal popularity, as an in-
strument of fearful injury to the United
States.-Under the shelter Of his charac-
ter, we fear that ambitious men have been
allowed to work change in the public
feeling that will eventuae in the ever
throw of our institutions, and the final
pros,ration of the cons i'u'ion i'sc!t.

From the Columbus Herald of Aug. I'd we
lcarnshat company of 50 men recently rals-
ed by Capt Jernigan have had two engage
ments with a party Of 200 Indians who were
working their way to Florida, and with whom
some of the citizens of Stewart county had
previously had running fight. The firsl en-
gavemcnt lasted 10 or ~ minutes when the
whites retreated, having lost 2 men killed. and
) wounded. Of the Indians 7 were killed
The Indians again took up the line of march
till they entered the Chickasafiathie Swamp,
Jernigan's men following in their wake. AZ
ter entering the swamp small party came
out to challenge the whites into the swamp.
Jcrnigan proposed to his men to accept the
challenge, which was unanimously agreed to /;
so in they went, through mud and water.
After an engagement of about an hour the
Indians began to give way and soon dlsap-
peared. Eighteen dead bodies OF the Indians
were found She loss of the whites not

in Holland give less milk in proportion to
their size, than the generality OF the Sco;s
dairy COWS; but the milk Of the Dutch COWS
is richer than the other. In Holland the
milk is not allowed to stand more than from
lS to 25 hours, to cast up cram, While IN
Scotland it stands double those periods.
The consequence is, that nothing but the
richest and best cream, which always rises
first is made into bu ter in Holland; while III
Scotland, the inferior cream, which makes
inferior butter, is collected and churncd with
the other. And, above all things, the great
attention paid to cleanliness in Holland has
a powerful effect on the quality OF their but
ter.
Query 6.-What quantity Of butter would
u COW OF such breed produce per week
Answer.-From what has alrcady been
sa.ed as to the diversity of the quality and
quantity of milk, the society will readily per-
ceive that it is not easy TO answer this que
rv on general principles. A COW, kept by
William Cramp, of Lewis, in the county OF
Sussex, is mentioned in the fifth and sixth
volumes ofthe communications to the Board
of Agriculture, as having yielded, III the
year 1905, $40 pounds avoirdupols Of but
ter. In 1906, this COW gave 4oO pounds
ofbutter, in 1907, she gave 613 pounds, and
in 1903, the same COW gave 400 pounuS'
avoirdupois, of butter. The Secretary to
the Board Of Agriculture mentioned Il COW
kept by the Rev. Mr.. Heckett, of BcckInS-
ham, near Newark, that yielded nineteen
pounds, avoirdupois, OF butter III one week
But he added, that six, seven or eight pounds
per week, were the common returns OF Il
cows in that part Of England. Mr.. Van
couver states, in his report Of Hampshire,
that COW of an inferior size, kept. by An
thony Grave, Syming.on, yielded nom fif-
teen to sixteen pounds. avoirdupolS, butter
per week, for some part of the season. A
COW of the Ayrshire dairy breed, Kept
bv Mr.. White on land in Lanarkshirc,
situated in 500 feet Of altitude above
the level of the sea, yielded, for several
weeks, in summer, 1888, sixteen pounds,
advoirdupois, Of butter per week. And
the Rev. NJ. Alpin, of Skarlms obtained
at the rate Of thirteen pounds OF butter
from one Of his COWS that year per week.
But although many such instances OF pro-
duce could be pointed out, they are tar
above the ordinary Or medium returns OF
dairy COWS. 1t is certain, however, that
thousands of the Scots dairy COWS yield
1000 quarts of milk in the course: of one
wear, as has been mentioned; and it is
equally certain that sixteen quarts OF that
uniformly yield, on an average, "a ounces
of butter, so that the average return of these
cows, when of good quality, in right condI-
ton, and properly fed, is 375 pounds, arolr-
dupois, of butter, per COW, per annunl.

INDIAN WAR.
From the Columbus Enquirer of July %.
CREEK WAR not OVER.

CREEK WAR not OVER.
On Sunday morning last intelligence was re-
ccived that signs of Indians were seen in the
neighborhood below Fort Crary. A detach-
ment of 80 or 90 men composed ofparts of the
Troup, DeKalb, Jasper and Burke companies
under command of Capt. Calhoun, went in I'M
mediate pursuit. Not far from the river they
discovered a fresh trail leading in the direc-
ton of Lumpkin, and after following it some
ten or twelve miles the Indians were ovcrta-
ken and fired on by the advanced guard. The
main body of the whites rushed to the scene,
when a battle ensucd which lasted more than
an hour. The fight during this long time was
close and bloody, the whites having fire killed
aud fifteen wounded, the Indians losing some
twenty Or twenty five. The names of the
killed and wounded we have not ascertancd.
It is said to have been a drawn battle, for al
though Caot G.. retired from the field for want
of ammunition, the Indians were doing them
but little injury, comparatively speaking, when
the retreat was effected. The detachment
acted well as We can judge-the Indians had
selected their own ground, between two creeks
and out-numbered the whites three to one.
These Indians had crossed the river the night
before, and seemed to be making their way
towards the swamps on the Flint, where Beal
and Jernigan used them so horrid ugly:
An express was sent to the General IN COM
mand, on monday morning, who forthwith des-
patched four mounted companies, Capt. Browns
of Muscogee, Capt Delapianers OF Jackson,
Bostwick's of Pulaski, and Capt. Sledge's of
Troup to Fort McCrearv. In addition to
these, Major Hoxey's battalion ofInfantry have
been ordered down, and left here on Tuesday.
Gen. Sandiord will take the command in per-
son. and we understand intends to pursue the
enemy to the South Keys of Florida, or overtake
them. Thus it viii be seen that the war has
agaiI. broken out, at the very moment when
the assurances of men high in authority had
induced the country to believe all was as calm
as sunshine.
