The LiQuor.LaW.


The 18th of June is close at hand. We
are glad to see, that 80 far as this community
is concerned, there appears to be the right
kind Of spirit among those who will most
suffer under the Prohibitory Liquor Law
Those engaged directly in the aa6c of
liquor, and receiving their support from the
trade, seem to be satisfied that law and order
shall prevail. the will Of the majority reign
paramount for the time being, and this Pro.
hibitory experiment fully tested. Public
opinion here is decidedly in favor Of the law.
and when public opinion 10 thus decided in Z
community. it is not likely it and the law
will at the same time be disregarded and de-
fed. We trust there will not be q man in
this city, who will. BY his conduct after the
18th of June, render it necessary for the
penalties of the Prohibitory Law to be en-.
forced in his case-for these penalties rill
most certainly be brought down on the
offender. We wish to see this experiemens
tried-then. If it proves . bad or decidedly
Intellectual law, this same majority will labor
either for its total abrogation or improve.

North Is beginning to open its eyes to the
infamous iniquities practiced on men from
the north by scoundrels who have not the
first true idea of the spirit Of republicanism,
but are themselves living ISLANDERS upon the
name of Americas citizens. There is then
prospect of war in which citizen will be
against citizen, and American blood will be
shed, no matter who the victor and who the
fallen. Probably it is better it should be 90.
Some parts OF the country want purifying.

Civil war Kansas,

The infamous Nebraska bill, or that party
which upholds it, and made the surrender of
freedom to slavery unsolicited by the South,
is responsible for the present horrible con.
dition of things in Kansas. We need not
again specify what that condition of affairs is.
Our readers already too we'll know that they
are such as to be disgrace to our Govern
ment, and to have had the effect to level
Northern freemen to the position Of slaves
and place them under the tyranical yoke of
set of Mssourians VIGOROUSLY almost as
ignorant as the human cattle they drive, and
more preiudced than even ordinary or ex-
traordinary ignorance often gets to be in this
country. The foul outrages perpetrated in
Kansas, and not by citizens Of the territory,
but by intrusive Missourians, have establish
ed the fact, that so long as those in favor
of slavery hold the power of numbers there.
that long all freedom Of opinion and Of
speech, aye and of action. has no existence
in Kansas. Atyranny, worse than anything
which may be found in the whole Of Europe,
reigns now right in and about Kansas. A
man might stand up in the streets of an Aus.
trian city, and abuse bis Government and
the institutions under il, aud escape with
mere imprisonment-but he who would rise
in Missouri, or even in parts of Kansas, and
declare his honest opinions on a certain in
stitution in this country, would be strung up
like dog on the nearest tree, or else tarred

of the fruits of the Nebraska Bill. Such q

SATURDAY MORNING:::::::::JUNE
Tho Virgins Result.

We yesterday complimented the Old Line
Democracy Of our city, on account of their
becoming behaviour over the result in Vir-
ginia. We thought they were acting SEN
sibly In quiet acceptance of single piece
Of good fortune, rather than in making =
grand flourish of trunpets over result that
was anything but triumph. We observe,
however, that in other prominent cities in
the State, the Old Liners are frantic with
joy, and are making a great ado over the
fact, that by their good luck they have
been able to retain portion only of their
.brief suthority" in the "Old Dominion"
We should think seriously, that the Ad.
minisuation party could see little to exult
over,in being able to partially sustain itself
in the strongest Democratic State in the
Union, after being ignominiously beaten sue
cessively in one year in twelve or fourteen
othe, Democratic States, which absolutely
represent decided majority Of the federal
strength and intelligence of the Union
Such victory with such standard bearer
% Henry A. Wise, betokens no permanent
good to the Democracy of the nation, and
while honest Democrats in other States,
feel, - it lie natural they should, emotions of
satisfaction at the result, they most cordially
despise the traitor that led them to victory.
We see that our Democratic neighbors of
indianapolis signalized their delight. by the
burning Of gun-povder, and with eloquent
and soul.stirring orations" accompanied with
military music, &c. In their wild Joy they
seem to have forgotten the political antece-
dents of the tickle Spectator, whom they
had alternately had occasion to hate and to
admire, but never before to do homage.
Amid the booming of cannon they seem to
forget also that the man whom they so delight
to honor, is yet under the sentence of christ.
ian world of having dyed his hands in in.
nocent blood. and outlswed both the moral
and the divine code.
We chesrfully concede to our Democratic
friends all the honor and gain which they
may be able to derive from their so-cs,led
victory, and assure them that the America
party will receive their defeat as the fate oil
war, but 1t is impossible for US to discover
anything in their triumph to gid the traitor
or the victory. Had the State of Virgins
been carried by the Dem ocracy, upon any
platform of principles or measures hitherto
endorsed by that party, then there would be
victory to celebrate. But neither the Old
Line Democrats nor the Soft Administration
claim this. The election in Virginia was
entirely game of chance with large odds
against them. They made . lucky throw
and won. The result is simply 4 beat and
no victory at all.

SPEED OF RAILwAY.-Many of the uumer-
Gus accidents which happen to persons at.
tempting to cross railroads are the result OF
ignorance Of the velocity Of the engine when
fairly under way. A writer in the Hartford
Courant gives the following interesting par
ticulars. which it will be well to remember:
''lt seems almost incredible that as we
glide smoothly along. the elegantly finished
car moves nearly twice its own length in q
second of time-about seventy -four feet. Al
this velocity we find that q locomotives
drivingwheels, six feet in diameter, make
four revo lutions per second. 1t is no idle
piston rod that traverses the cylinder thus
eight times per second.
ali man with horse and carrisge upon

a speed of six miles per hour, which would
be- crossing rapidly, an express train ap-
pro1chipg at the moment would move TO.
wards him two hundred and ffty-seven feet
while he was in the act Of crossing q
distance barely sufficient to clear the horse
and vehicle. II a horse was moving at a
rate no faster than walk, as the track is
usually crossed, the train would move towards
him, while in the act Of crossing, more than
FIVE hundred feet. This fact accounts for the
many accidents at such points. The person
driving thinks he may cross because the
train is few rods distant.
"Hcw compares the highest sped of the
train with the velocity Of sound, When the
whistle is opened at the eighty rod "whstle
post" the train will advance near one
hundred feet before the sound of the whistle
traverses the distance to, and is heard at the
crossing. The velocity exceeds the flight of
many of our birds. DR.. J. L. Comstock. the
well known author of several philos optical
works, informed the writer that he was re-

am perfectly satisfied from long expert.
ence, and have publicly advocated it for up.
ware of ten years, that the best and most
profitable swine for the farmer, is that breed
which will nearly mature at eight to twelve
months old, and then weigh, well fatted a nd
dressed, from $50 to $50 pounds. A pig that
has to be wintered and kept till sixteen to
nineteen months old, before fully fatted,
rarely pays fol, itself at the ordinary price OF
pork; and the average weight Of these, in the
United States, even at year and half old,
do not believe exceeds 800 pounds.
Now what the farmers want is large
breed with 6ne points and great growth
Such breed can be made fat at any age,
and invariably natures quick. But recol-
lect they must have fine points; by this
mean fine or small heads, ears, legs. feet and
tail, wide, deep chest, and a round full
body, like barrel. TSese constitute what
are technically called fine points. None Of
your big heads, large Iop ears, coarse brist-
les and hair, long legs, great feet, and Happy,
thin, sIabsided bodies. after the alligator or
landpke order. Of the lerge breeds, prefer
the Lincoln.
In order to get pigs to weigh well. they
must come early. February in the Southern.
March in the middle, and April in the most
Northern States, are the best months TO drop
pigs. Feed them from the start, all they
will eat, and they will be ready to kill from
October to January; and thus you dispense
with wintering any, except those reserved
for breeding.
For hams. particularly, and sometimes for
bacon, especially for the English market,
lean tender meat is most desirable. A par
ticular breed, like the Berkshire, is best adapt.
ed for this purpose; and these may be kept
from year TO eighteen months old before
fully fattened. When it is desired to fine
and improve swine Of coarse points, it is bes;
to use the Suffolk for a cross upon them;
but these of themselves are too small, and
not Of sufficient growth to suit the general
purposes of the farmer. They do very well
for those who wish fine delicate pork for
their own family use.-[ The Ptor.
