As soon as the meat is sailed

Those who will carefully adopt
our method Of curing pork and
beef will be enabled to enjoy as
fine hams, tongues, and. dried beef,
and rounds, as the Emperor Of
all the Russians can command,
always provided that the meat to
be cured is Of the best quality
II is this:
To one gallon Of water, take
l IL lbs of salt, 1-2 Id Of sug-
ar, IL OF Of saltpetre, IL or Of
potash.
In this ratio the pickle to be
increased to any quantity desir-
ed. Let these be boiled togeth-
er, until all the dirt from the SUI
gar, (which will be not a little) ri
ses to the top and is skinned of.
Then throw ii into a tub to cool,
and when cold, pour it over your
beef Or pork, to remain the usu-
al tire, say four 10 six weeks
The meat must be well covered
with pickle, and should not be
put down for Mt least two days af-
ter killing. during which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with
saltpetre.
Several Of our friends have o.
mitted boiling Of the pickle; and
found it to answer equally we'll.
1t will not however answer quite
so we'll. BY boiling the pickle,
it is purifed--for the amount OF
dirt which is thrown of by the
operation, from the salt and sug-
ar, would surprise one not acquain-
ted with the fact.-Gcrman-

Prohibition.

We have no faith in any legislation
upon the Liquor Traffic which does
not lay the ak to the root Of the tree;
we have faith in this only when there
is virtue enough in the community to
sustain and enforce it. Rhode Island
has to-day Prohibitory Act, which
the Courts have injured materially and
the People are unable or unwilling to
repair and uphold; and that act is
practically rather a damage than
benefit to Temperance. Vermont, on
the other hand, has a very similar
law, which her Courts have steadily
upheld and her People generally en-
forced. This act, thus sustained. is a
great public blessing; it does not alb
solutely drive Liquor from the State,
but it has rendered drunkenness rare
and in fact hardly possible. We have
recently traversed her eastern coun-
ties without seeing or hearing of a
place where Alcoholic Beverages are
openly sold: towns which formerly bad
dozen taverns have now but one or
two; and the chilled traveller who en-
ters one Of these no longer finds the
FIRE monopolized by crowd Of neigh
borhood soakers. There are not this
day in Vermont FIVE men lounging
about bar-room fires where there were
hundred even ten years ago. Pro-
hibitory legislation. with Temperance
Judges to back it, has wrought this
change, it will do so in other States
which have the intelligence and virtue
to sustain it, and where the liquor in
terest is not strong enough to snap the
green withes OF Law, as we have
learned by sad experience that it is in
this State. Wepropose, therefore. to
resume the work Of creating public
sentiment in our State adverse TO AL
coholic beverages and the Traffic
therein; and, whenever that sentiment
shall be manifestly strong enough,
with Court Of Appeals to back it, we
shall be ready to renew the struggle
for Prohibitory Act. Meantime, we
leave the question Of License or Free
Trade in Liquor to the advocates Of
moderate drinking, deeming it one in
which Prohibitionisls can feel but n
subordinate interest.-N. Y. Tribune.

sothsrn Commercial Convention.

SAVANNAH, Dec. 10, 1856.
The Convention reassembled this
morning. Mr.. Jones OF Georgia NOV
cd that the Convention take Mr..
Goulding's resolution relative TO the
re-opening Of the slave trade from the
table.
Mr.. Spratt, editor Of the Charleston
Standard. hoped the motion would
prevail. He thought the question Of
Slavery the most appropriate subject
that could occupy the attention Of the
Convention. He advocated the re.
newal Of the slave trade. and desired
to hear the objections Of those who
resisted the consideration Of the sub
ject The Convention should not re-
cognize the right OF Congress to i'm.
pose restrictions upon the slave trade;
It should meet the question at once.
Mr.. Hunter Of Virginia thought the
Convention not competent to consider
the subject. 1t was great moral
question. The South should ponder
long before defying the opinion Of the
whole Christian world. The recent
Message Of the Governor Of South
Carolina had astonished the whole
South; and for one he was not prepar-
ed to endorse his views. The subject
was one Involving tremendous conse-
quences, and time for reflection was
necessary.
Mr.. Richardson Of Maryland said
he was not prepared to advocate COM
merce in slaves. He hoped this fire.
band would not be considered.
Mr.. Gholson Of Virginia was oppos.
ed to taking the subject up now. UNI
less now to discuss with the world the
moral question. II the South pressed
the revival Of the slave trade il would
drive away many now with us. He
regarded it as a direct attack on the
Union.
Mr.. Goulding of Georgia made a
fiery speech, defending the renewal OF
the slave trade. Slavery was from
God. and he (Goulding) was ready to
defend it in all its bearings. It con-
ferred equal blessings on both races.
Was II not a greater crime to tear the
husband from his wife in Virginia. to
work a cotton field in the South, than
10 purchase a negro in Africa and
Christianize and civilize him? Now
was the time to decide the question
and assert our rights before the whole
world.
Messrs. Chopper and Greene Of vir-
gina indorsed Mr.. Goulding's views.
Mr.. Mcleod Of Texas pledged his
State 10 the EXTREMIST views urged TO-
day. Mexico falling to pieces by our
side-we must introduce there our pc
culiar institutions, and counterfeit Eu.
ropean intrigues. Negro labor was
necessary TO the development Of that
region.
The motion was taken up and lost
yeas l6. nays SO. South Carolina,
Texas and part Of Tennessee only vo.
ting in the affirmative.

The old custom, and one which
still prevails somewhat, Of feed
ing neat cattle on dry food ex-
clusively, is open to many objec-
tons. Oxen and horses-in fact,
all domestic animals-fed on cut
hay or straw in a dry state. after
a while, absolutely refuse to eat
up all that is given them. The
farmer wonders that his stock
don't fatten, when they obviously
have more than they can eat!-
Did he but moisten their food,
he would find it consumed with
greater relish, and he would OBJ
serve a marked improvement in
the health OF his animals.
The experience Of careful far
mers, who wish to treat their
stock well, and yet conduct all
their operations economically,
points to a practice like the fol-
lowing:
Prepare a trough, or other'large
vessel, into which cut hay, oat,
wheat or rye straw, or stalks can
be put, enough to give all the an
mails a single meal. For every
three animals to be fed, add four
quarts of meal with just enough
water to moisten it, and let it
stand for several hours. 1t will
do all the better if it stands until
fermentation begins, and a slight
acidity is perceptible. Now, feed
this to your stock, and five min
utes observation will show you
that it is relished highly. Not a
particle will be left, and in a short
time you will find your stock i'm
proving. When it can be done,
we think it would be advisable to
have several troughs for mixing
the ingredients. Thus, food may
be prepared in advance, and a
good supply will always be on
hand for the hour of feeding.
In what we have already said,
it is implied that the farmer has a
straw-cutter Of the best pattern,
and in good working order, with
Which he can not only cut hay
and straw, but can work up corn
stalks, tops and butts, which, mix.
ed with roots or apples, and a lit
tie meal and a little salt, will
make a very palatab'e and nutric-
ious meal. Pumpkins and squash
es, also, as well as roots and ap-
pies, may be mixed with refuse
fodder in the same way. But,
whatever be the food, we hold that
it should be moist: if not natu-
rally so, it should be made so by
adding a little water.
Think Of our suggestions,
friend farmer, especially the next
time you moisten your lips when
eating a dry lunch Of crackers and
cheese.
