much as to say, .rhere you see, they

okOuND AND UNGROUND--C0OKED AND
UNcooKKD IfooD.-In a Communication
from the Society of Shakers, al Leha.
non, New York, in the Pa,en, Office Re-
port, we find the following upon the rel
alive value Of ground and ungfound,
cooked and uncooked corn for feeding
and ia.,ening cattle, &c.
1.-The experience of more than thirty
years leads us to estimate ground corn
al one-third higher Than u,,ground. ~
food for cattle. and especially for fa,.en-
ing pork; hence. il has been the practice
Of our Society for more than quarter
Of century to grind all our provrnder.
.'fhe same experiences induces US 10
put higher value upon cooked than up-
on raw meal. and for fatiening animals,
swine particularly. we consider three Of
cooked equal TO four bushels Of raw
meal
.Unlil within the last three or four
years, our Society faltened annually, for
thirty years, from 10000 To $4,000 lbs.
OF pork, exclusive Of lard and ciIal fas.
and !, 10 the constant practice 10 cook
the meal for which purpose six or ses-
en- potash kettles are used."
The Shakers are close observing,
calculating people, and go in for ths prac-
iical realities Of life; and. therefore, in
the economy Of food. mus. be prssnm-
ed to be good Judges. For ourself. We
are disposed to believe the conclusions
10 which they have arrived are correct.

Mr. Ashe himself be announced for reelection
with much GOODNESS though he possessed life tenure in

We cannot exactly understand the motives of the
Register in going out gifts way to at MIR AsHE.
What private grief the Editor has we know not, but
we do know that be is. usual, somewhat ignorant
of the subject which he dismsses 1ippantly. We
happen to know that MIR. AsHE did not himself
to be announced but that he yielded to the socita-
tons of his friends in the upper part of the District
and allowed his name to go before the people. We
also know that some of those most anxious to
have Mr.. AsHE candidate, among his most
strenuous opponents in the Convention by which he
nominated, and that apprized of the fact
that Mr.. AsHE had consented to run by gentleman
who had uniformly voted against him in the Clinton
Convention We wish to take very little part in the
matter. We have not as yet heard any dissatisfac-
ton expressed against MIR. AsHE, nor do we know
that he will have any opposition, neither do we know
whether or not there will be a Convention but of
one thing we certain, that Mr.. AsHE is now, as
he has always been at the disposal of his party, and
willing to abide it's decision.

New HAMPSHIRE Election.

At the recent election in New Hampshire for Gov
ernor and members of Congress, and of the State
Legislature, DISsMooR, the regular Democratic can
didate for Governor, wanted $500 of having ma
jory of all the votes cast for that Office, but the
Legislature will be Democratic, his ultimate election
is certain. Immediately on the eve of the election,
it was discovered that the Rev. JOHN ATWOOD the
first nominee of the Democratic party for Governor,
had been tamperng with the Free Soilers and he
was thrown overheard, and Gov D1NsMooR run in
his stead. Notwithstanding this unfortunate cir
cumstance, ATWOOD, as the Free Soil candidate did
not get half the number of votes cast for the true
Democrat, did the Wing come anything up
with him. This speaks we'll for the New Hampshire
Democracy. Two Free Soil Wings, AMOS Tuck and
JARED PERKINS, and two national Democrats, CHAs

From the Pee Dee to the Appomattox the rivers and

In this county we hear of one individual who lost
700 bbls of rosn, and others who lost timber um-

washed off, but not, as we are happy to learn, the
Railroad bridge at CASTOR, as was reported. The
Railroad for nearly mile beyond CASTOR. wash

Ohio and the Fugitive slave Law.

On the 22d of February the Legislature of Ohio
passed AN act securing the benefits of habeas cor
pus," which comes quite up to the Vermont act. 1t
makes it the duty of the Attorney General of the
State and the prosecuting attorneys the counties
to protect and defend all persons arrested fugitive
slaves and to make immediate application to speci-
fed courts aud judges for the writ of habeas corpus;
such courts judges to grant the writ and upon its
return to grant trial by jury all questions of
fact at issue between the parties, provided either
party make application for such trial If the YER
dict of the jury thus called shall be in favor of the
person claimed as fugitive slave, he shall forthwith
be restored to his liberty and if the claimant shall
again claim ownership in the slave within the State
he shall be deemed guilty of felony, and on convic-
ton thereof shall be imprisoned in the penitentiary
for not more than FIVE, nor less than two years
Pretty we'll for Ohio! This is most direct and I'M
