The extract below, from late speech oi
Mr. Benton, displays touching exhibition
Of the vanity of Political Ambition:
l have gone through a contest to which
have no heart, aud into which | was fore
ed BY combination against life and honor,
and from which | would gladly escape
What is seat in Congress to me? have
sat thirty years in the highest branch in
Congress, have made a name to which
can add nothing, and l should only be anx-
lous to say, what has been gained? | have
domestic affections, sorely lacerated in these
times; a wife whom have never neglect
ed, and who needs my attention now more
than ever; children, some separated from
me by the expanse Of oceans and conti-
nents, others by the slender bounds which
separate time from eternity. | touch the
age which thePsalmist assigns as the limit of
manly life, and must be thoughtless indeed,
If | do not think of something beyond the
fitting and shadowy pursuits of this life, of
all of which have seen the vanity. What
is my occupation? Ask the undertaken,
that good Mr.. Lynch, whose face present on
so many mournful occasions, has become
pleasant to me. He knows what occupies
my thoughts and cares; gathering the bones
of the dead-a mother, sister, two sons,
a grand-child; planting the cypress over
assembled graves, and marking the spot
where | and those most dear to me, are
soon 10 be laid.

To CHoosE a Coon MIX Cow.--SelecE
from good breed. We prefer The Dew
ons-brigbt bay red. The Durhams are
roam, red, white, and mixtures Of these col
ors. Ayrshire cows are generaly red and
white spotted. Herefords, red or darker
colored, with white faces. Alderneye, pale
red and mixed with white. These are the
principal colois Of the several breeds, Of
which the Durhams are the largest and the
Attorneys the smallest Different individ-
uals will contend for each breed being the
best and only one that should be selected
for their milking qualities. But animals Of
each breed, and Of crosses Of them, often
prove remarkable mixers. and so do some
of the native stock Of the country.
If we were about selecting milk cow
we would endeavor TO get one out OF such
herd Of good mixers; one with soft, vel
vety-feeng skin, slim neck, fine legs, broad
stern, with what is called large escutche-
on, that IS, the hair Of the stern pointing
inward; large uddcr, slim tcats, and
large veins, commonly called milk veins, on
the belly. Above all things, select your
COW Of gentle, pleasant countenance, be-
cause trst-rate mixer may be so vicious
as to be worthless. Do not look for flesh,
as the best cows are seldom fat; their hip
bones are very prominent. and they have
the appearance Of being low in flesh. A
beefy COW is seldom good mixer
The next thing is. what is good mixer?
That is, how much milk must she yield per
day? A COW that will average FIVE quarts
OF milk day through the year, making /,
e25 quarts, is an extraordinary good COW.
One that will yield We quarts a day for
ten months is a good COW, and one that will
average four quarts during that time is
more than an average quality. That would
make 200 quarts year, which at th rec
cents quart, is $50. We believe the Or
ange county milk dsiries average about
$40 per COW, and the quality of these COWS
is considerably above the average Of he
1t is as important to Keep COW good as
IT is to get her good. This can never be
done by a careless, lazy mixer. Always
milk your COW quick and perfectly clean,
and never try to counteract nature by taxi.

Tunnel under the Ohio River.

The Louisville Journal has an article upon the
prospects and feasibility Of the construction Of
q tunnel under the Ohio river at Louisville,
Kentucky, and Jacksonville, Indiana. A
charter for this work was granted by the Ken
lucky legislature, March 6, 1854, and the right
Of way given by the city of Louisville, and the
work forever exempted from taxation for city
purposes, on the 9th day of May, 1854. The
Fort Wayne and Southern Railroad Company
have excepted the charter and the release OF
the right OF way, and propose making up the
stock, and, if possible, to put the work under
contract this fall or early in the spring. The
tunnel will be exclusively for railroad pur-
poses, with double track, adapted to.the use Of
all the roads of the different guages. 1t will
be twenty-eight feet wide in the clear and
seventeen feet high, perpendicularly, from the
centre of each track. The arching will be
sixty feet less than two miles in length The
descending grades into the tunnel, at either
end, will be only eighty feet per mile on q
straight line. From the head of the grade on
one side to the head of the grade on the oppo
site side OF the river will be two miles and q
half The tunnel will be constructed in the
river by excavating channel or pit in theroch
and arching over with the acknowledgements
limestone rock Of the'best quality The work
has been surveyed and the cost estimated al
one million two hundred thousand dollars. II
is proposed to raise this sum by cash sub
scription, no part of which is made payable
until the whole sum is subscribed. Whenever
all the stock is taken then it becomes payable
in four equal semi-annual instalments.

A few days ago the National Mtelligencer
apologised for publishing an extract from an
exchange paper which designated Mr. Sumner,
OF Massachusetts, as an Abolitionist. Yester-
day the National Lntelligencer in speaking of a
speech delivered some time since by Mr.. Sum.
ner, called 1t an Abolition speech. We have
always thought that none but Abolitionists ever
made abolition speeches, and we have ALWAYS
thought that Nj Sumner was an Abolit;op;st
and astrougly marked specimen Of an Adolf.
ZIONIST. But perhaps VIC are ignorant and
therefore we would most respectfully request
our friends Of the National Iuteltigencer 10 tell
us what Mr.. Sumner is and what constitutes
an Abolitionist if the making of Abolition
speeches does not2 Peradyenture such infor-
