tune set TO the words " Go homel go homel 10 old

with banners waving In the AIR IL was grand
sight, such commanded the sdmiration of every
patriot, and would have graced any display OF the
kind Of which We have ever heard.
The procession having arrived at the ground, and
the crowd being composed the ceremonies OF the day
were opened by deyout and fervent prayer from
the Rev. George Lennon. MIR. lnman Horoer then
delivered short and eloquent Introductory address
st the close OF which Mr. Young, Of the city Of Rich
mond took the stand, and delivered, for the space Of
two hours, a speech we'll worthy the fame OF older
and more distinguished men; at the close OF his
speech which repeatedly interrupted by the ap-
plause of the audience, dinper was announced, aud
the crowd retired TO the tables. Al about hall-pasl
two o'clock Mr. Robert q. Scott, OF The city Of hcn.
mond rose To address the assembly, and for near
three hours engaged their attention. His speech
was every thing which his previous reputation gave
us assurance it would be, and all that could be de-
sired evinced by the rounds oil applause
which often rent the air, Mr. Caskie, OF the city Of
Richmond then and addressed the audience tlll
sunset and gave way for the adjournment Of the
meeting to the courthouse at o'clock The com

banners Auttering in the breeze, back to town. -
Al 6 O'Clock the courthouse was filled, and Mr.

which he has long been distinguished, receiving
round upon round of applause throughout his dis
course. He having concluded, Mr.. Caskle was loudly
called for TO conclude his speech He assembled the
BENCH and we'll did he fulfil his task for about an
hour The conclusion, indeed the whole of his
speech did him high honor, both for style and mat
ter. We cannot omit TO mention the view he pre-
scented, who Governor Polk not and who he ,oas,
as peculiarly happy and effective. We have for
borne TO attempt any reference to the topics and
views Of the orators, convinced that we should not
do them half justice Mr.. Caskie having concluded,
MIR. George w. Brent, Of this place, was called for,
and for about an hour engaged the attention Of the
meeting in an eloquent and efficient speech. AT II
O'Clock the assembly adjourned, and two hundred
persons bearing torchlighs in honor of the republ
cans of Name, accompanied by transparency, and
at the sound Of music, paraded through the streets
till midnight called them to retire, when the festival
closed
We have seen nothing to surpass the splendor OF
this procession as il passed the streets it looked
like column of grenadiers with plumes Of blazing
fire and it was the victory of the republican grena-
diers of Maine which it was designed to celebrate.

My own experiments on this subject gave for
100 lbs. of hay and potatoes as above, estimating
both as dry, or free from water of vegetation,
32 9 lbs. of dung; and this estimated as dry, is
reduced to Sc lbs, 90 lbs. of dry food gave IA
lbs. of dry dung. But as general fact, we may
say, that wel-cured hay and the grains give one
half of their weight Of dung and urine ; pota-
toes, roots, and green grass, about one-tenth.
1t will be understood why the quality of food
should affect the quantity of dung. The more
watery, the less in bulk is voded, because there
is actually less substance taken. And as the
animal requires this to form its flesh and blood
and fat, and to keep up his breathing, so will he
exhaust more completely his food. More going
to support him, less is returned by the ordinary
channels. So when much vegetable fibre exists,
as in chopped straw and hay, then, as it goes
but little way towards supporting breathing or
forming blood, greater bulk is rejected. In
grains, on the contrary, which afford much of all
that the animal requires, less is extracted and
more voided.
