We recommend to the wise men Of both Houses Of
Congress little study Of this table, as affording
the proof positive Of the superiority Of the Collins
steamers over the Cunardcrs. Collins has abolished
the British monopoly Of the Atlantic-and British
supremacy in every sort Of navigation is now fairly
extinguished by the permanent triumph Of our
steamships. We have reduced the time of the
British vessels, and yet they are continually beaten
Three out Of the four Of the Collins steamships have
crossed the Atlantic within ten days, from port to
port; but not one Of the dozen Cunard vessels has
yet accomplished that feat. Our national power
our national character, are somewhat at stake in
this business Let the honor Of the country be vim
dicated, and our place and position upon the ocean
be maintained The moral influence alone Of main
aning, or suspending, the Collins line should be
seriously considered as question Of high import
ance Moreover, if millions Of the public landslide
common property Of all the States-can be souan-
dered away for the benefit of Western railroad COM
panies, it is asking very little in the way Of reci-
procity, to vote liberal allowance to the Collins
steamers. Let delegation insist upon this point
and Collins will be sustained in his noble enterprise
which, at a dead sacrifice to the company, has
redounded to the honor and glory Of the whole
country

Nutrition in Various Grains.

Wheat is one Of the most important 0f all
crops The grain contains from fifty To sew.

gluten is said to he largest in the grain Of
quite warm countries.

Dat meal is little used as food in this coun-

other grams superior, nave no doubt, to
most of the fine wheaton h"ur ofthe north

same amount of nitrogen or gluten. Be-
sides this there is a considerable quantity
of sugar and gum, and from five t" SIX per
cent Of oil or fatty matter, which may be ob'
tanned in the form of clear, fragrant liquid.
Oat meal cakes owe their peculiar agreeable
taste and smell, to this oil. Dat meal, then,
has not ouly an abundance OF substance
containing nitrogen, but is also qnile tatten-
ing. 1t is, in fact, all excellent food Tor
working animals, and, as has been abundant
ly proved in Scotland, for working men
also.
Buckwheat is less nutritious than the other
grains which we have noticed. Its flour
has from six to te: per cent. OF heterogeneous
compounds. about fifty per cent OF starch,
and from FIVE to eight per cent. OF sugar
and gum. In speaking of buckwheat OF
oars, we of course mean without hnsks.
Rice was formerly supposed to contain
little nitrogen; butrecent examinations have
shown that there is a considerable portion

like gluten. The per ceniage Of fatty mat

Indian corn is the last OF the grains that
we shall notice. This contains about six
