best; and, by the way, in ordinary milk
incs, the faster it is done the better; by
all means milk with considerable rapidity
on many accounts. If the COW kicks
when her udder is not sore, it must be
owing to previous rudeness of treatment,
and should be overcome by gentleness
and persuasion. If the animal is wild,
and has lately come into your possession,
having become in other hands an inveter-
ate kicker, do not discard her at once
We have known the most desirable cows
to be addicted to this habit. She only
requires, in addition to the above, gentle
treatment, which should indeed never for
sake the milkman or maid in their man
agement of cattle, under any circumstan-
ces--(kindness and attention to his
animals being great resource and a
continual reward to the farmer)-that
the hind legs be tied TO each other as she
stands in an easy position-not bound
together tight or strained, but separated
at the usual distance when united. Many
have been soon cured in this way, who,
from being difficult Of approach, have be-
come valuable animals, yielding a large
quantity of milk, and very docile and
quiet. C. P. S.
HINTS FOR HoUsEKEEPERs.-If the
covers of sofas and chairs are dirtied,
they may be cleaned without being re-
moved, by first washing them over with
warm water and soap, rubbed over them
with flannel; then before they are dry,
sponge them over with strong solution
of salt and water, in which a small guam
tity of gall has been mixed. The win
dows of the room should be opened, SC
as to secure perfect drying, and the col.
ors and freshness Of the articles will be
restored. Floor cloths may be cleaned
with mixture Of magnesia, only milk
warm, followed by warm water, in the
same manner that carpets are cleaned
: they should be rubbed with dry fan
mel till nearly dried then again wet ovel
with sponge dipped in milk, and i'm
, medialely dried and rubbed with fan
h mel till the polish is restored. This is 4:
; process much to be preferred to that o
II rubbing the cloth with wax, which leave
5 it sticky and liable to retain dust an,
u dirt for long time. Very hot waite
: should never be used in cleaning foo
cloths as it brings off the paint.

mers great diversity of opinion respect

BreckinridGo Club,

Mr. Howe Y. Peyton addressed the Brock
inridge and Lane Club on Friday night last
in long and able speech, in which he sus-
tanned himself with marked ability
In fact, his speech was one of the very best
which has been delivered in this county up
on the Breckenridge side of the question -
The Court house was we'll filled, and the
galleries were crowded with ladies, whose
bright eyes and smiling faces plainly de-
clared their admiration and enthusiasm for
the young and gifted speaker.
Mr.. Peyton is quite young man having
just quit college, and we think, in his zeal
for the cause which he has espoused, he is
carried away by bis feelings, instead of ar
irving at his conclusions as the result of de-
lbcrate judgment; for while it is true Mr.
2. reasons logically and forcibly from his
assumed .facts, it is equally true that the
premises upon which be builds his beautiful
theories are but airy nothings, found only
in the heat oppressed brains of jealous par
tizans.
We doubt not that ere long Mr. Peyton
will be found battling in the cause of the
National Democracy. We are sorry, how
ever, to see such gallant and gifted young
men even temporarily estranged from their
true allegiance.

The Scarlet letter.

Mr. Yancey attempted, at Harrisonbufg,
to explain away his Slaughter letter He
never, however, alluded to the Pryor letter.
That was written short time after the
Slaughter letter made its appearance, and
was intended as an explanation or inter-
probation of the scarlet manifesto He there
declared for Southern Confederacy, but
that Virginia must remain as the Southern
border of the Union so as to protect the
Cotton States Confederacy. This was his
deliberately aoritten explanation. Now all
the protests and reasons he can give from
this time till doomsday cannot destroy the
force and legitimacy Of this written expla-
nation, and that, too, shortly after his 'pre
cipitating" epistle was penned, and when
the subject matter and purpose were fresh
ia his mind
Mr.. Yancey is disunionist, and there
can be no getting out of it. The S G. Adj
vertiser, in noticing some Of Mr.. Yancey' $
hosannahs to the Union. says that if he
dare deny in the Cotton States that he is
for disunion, Mr. Breckenridge will not get
even respectable vote. It is upon that
ticket he is running there, and that consti-
tutcs the peculiar force Of his claim to sup
port in those States

'g,EfA Elections.

The election returns from Pennsylvania
for Governor show that Curtin, Black Re-
publican, has been elected over Foster, dem
ocrat, by a tremendous majority, ranging
from 20. 900 to 10000. The Republicans
claim Is or 20 out of the 25 members of
Congress. We have certainly gained tw 0
Congressman in this State
A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says,
that the Republican State ticket is elected
by nearly %, 600 majority. So far as heard
from the democrats had gained one Con-
gresham. Pendleton, Allen, Morris and
Vallanding CHAM, democrats, arc all elected.
Returns from Indiana show that the re-
publican Governor is elected by from 10, 900
to &c, eoe majority. Eight republican Con-
gressmen are elected, and the Legislature is
of the same stripe.
These results in favor Of the Black Be
publcans have been occasioned, in a great
degree, by the administration or Breckin-
ridge party, especially in Ohio and Indiana,
holding off from the polls; or in other words
casting a half vote for the Black Republic

The Speech oftEae Canvass.

Gen. W. Ell. Hartman addressed the Doug
las Club of this place on Saturday night last,
in one of the most powerful speeches that
has been delivered here since the opening of
the canvass. He reviewed the whole ground
of dispute between the various parties in a
mastery manner, introducing many old
musty documents which place some of our
intervention friends in rather an awkward
predicament. He spoke for over three hours,
retaining the interested attention of his
hearers the whole time by new and fresh
points and original line of argument. We
wish it was in the power of General Har
man to deliver that speech in every District
in the State 1t could not fail to accomplish
the most happy results

Yancey and Disunion.

Although Mr.. Yancey refused to answer
the Norfolk questions in Staunton, at Har-
risonburg he distinctly declared that the e.
lection of Lincoln was of itself a dissolution
of the Union. He became Mortified at the
idea of the South, under Black Republic
can administration, being submerged with
strychnine, arsenic, John Browns, and fire
and sword; and these to be backed by the
army and navy, marshals, post-masters, mail
agents, etc., the President, the Congress,
and the Supreme Court of the United States !
Horrible! Now, with due Difference to the
sensitive nerves and brilliant and bloody
imagination of Mr.. Yancey, we venture the
opinion that he has erected a tremendous
man of straw-a "scare crow"-which a
man with his eyes open can see just about
as we'll as can Mr. Yancey. This kind of
logic don't do for grown up men. He might
brighten few Anticipated spinsters and two
year old children-but his ''full Of sound
and fury" appeals ''signifying nothing can
never intimidate even our women and boys
as class, to say nothing of the intelligent,
reading mon. Mr. Yancey will have to try
some other mode to excite sympathy for his
disunion sentiments. It was exceedingly
astute in him to announce his real purposes
of disunion amidst such shower Of terrible
catastrophes and alarming incidents, which
he imagines might come to pass. Mr.. Yam
cey. rest assured the people understand

A Strong Point.

The Secession Sreckinridgers insist that
the bred Scott case settles the question of
the power of Territorial Legislation to os-
tablish or prohibit Slavery in the Territory.
adversely to the power as claimed by Judge
Douglas.
This assumption is based upon the obiter
dictuns of Chief Justice fancy. Is this
obtter dictuns of Judge fancy binding 3
We say not. The opinion of the Chief JUS
tiee is not always binding Let us illustrate.
In the case of the T. u. VS. Amy in the
Circuit Court of Richmond, Chief ustice
fancy and his associate Judge, decided a
Negro Slave could be tried for Mail robbing
in the U. S. Court and sentenced to the U.
). Penitentiary. Al the last term of the u.
5. Court at this place, the able and accom-
plished Judge kenbrough, in the case
Of the u. S. VS.. Willis, reviewed and reuer-
sed the decision of Chief Justice fancy
The Courts were of concurrent jurisdiction
therefore, the review of the Chief JUS
tees opinion. Here we have fair illus
tration, and thus we show the venerable
Chief Justice is not infalltble.
When the Supreme Court decides quss-
tion presented By the record. it is binding
authority, when they, or either of the
Judges, go out Of the record to express al
opinion upon a question not before them, it
is obiter dictum and binds 90 court or BODY.
We apply these remarks to the oJiter die
tum of Chief Justice Tauey in the bred

a Fair SssecissR9KA.

AS fair specimen of the accuracy Of the
statement of facts by Mr. Yancey, we men
ton that in his speech last Saturday at Har-
risonburg, he claimed Foster, candidate for
Governor of Pennsylvania, as Breckenridge
nan, and that his election would be a
Breckenridge triumph. Now every one
knows. who is at all acquainted with the
politics Of Pennsylvania, that Foster is an
out-and- out Douglas man, and his nomina-
ton was set down as Douglas triumph. =
But there is no division among the Democ-
racy of Pennsylvania in the Gubernatorial
election. Both wings support Foster. II
is nothing more than downright falsehood,
then, for Mr.. Yancey to claim Foster as a
friend of Breckenridge, and endeavor to mis-
lead the people thereby. This, however. is
fair sample Of the roorbacks he is vending.

Hon. C. L. Jackson. Governor elect of
Missouri, recently delivered speech at JEFF
ferson City, in that State, which the Breck-
inridge papers, headed by tho st. Louis
Bulletin, forthwith heralded TO tho world
committed him to Breckenridge and against
Douglas. So rare is it that tho corporal's
guard of Breckites in this region can pick
up crumb of comfort, that they seized up
on this item and pestered US nearlyto death
with jeers and taunts about our Douglas
Governor of Missouri We invariably re-
sponded, that we had read synopsis Of Mr..
Jackson's speech, and could not gather from
it that he intended to support Breckenridge.
He merely spoke of him as personally his
choice, and that he stood by the jackson
resolutions. Resolutions which Mr.. jack
son himself offered in the Missouri Legisla-
ture, that caused the overthrow of Mr.. Ben
ton We contended that Mr. Jackson had
taken his position for Judge Douglas, and
we knew he had not done so hastily, and
that being the case, he was not the man to
recant-that there was no double dealing in
him. Sure enough, Mr.. Jackson, finding
that his position was being misrepresented,
has recently made another speech, in which
he distinctly declares his purpose to vote for
Judge Douglas on the 9th of November
next, and de6es any one to produce one
word that he has yer uttered that can be
fairly construed to convey different pur
pose. This is precisely as we predicted and
expected. We are sufficiently we'll &C
quainted with Gov. jackson to justify us
in assuming that he is the last man to be
suspected of holding two sets of opinions or
being afraid to utter precisely what he
thinks His characteristic traits as poll
tioian are boldness, frankness, frmness, and
fearlessuess. He would not be guilty of
giving expression to sentiments previous te
his election as Governor, which he could
not as freely proclaim after his election.
Gov. jackson is, therefore, uncompro
misngly il favor of Stephen A. Douglas fol-
the Presidency, which gives Missouri GER
tainly to the National Democracy in No,
vember next.

BACKED EeOVvHa.

In many portions of the State the YAM
cey Breckites plume themselves upon the
boast THAT NO one will meet Yaneey. An
embargo was placed upon this idle aud con
ceited assumption by Hon, r. r, Collier, Of
Petersburg, at Harrisonburg Jon last Satur-
day On arriving as that place. Mr. Col
her sent note to Mr.. Yaneey, chailengin
him to discussion of the issues Of the CAM
vass Mr. Yaneey replied that MIR. G. 3
proposition had been submitted to tho
friends of Breckenridge there. and that they
had 'emplatieally" declined any division Of
time, which decision agreed with his own
judgment. Mr. Yancey was therefore per.
mitted to occupy the whole of the afternoon
With his speech, which abounded in the
grossest misrepresentation of facts, garblinS
of statements, and fallaeious and, to an IN
telligent people, insulting arguments.
Let it go forth everywhere that Mr.. Yal-
cey made fair, square, plump, paIpable
back down at Harrisonburg, and refused
unequivocally to discuss the issues Of tbs
canvass with Hon. r. + Collier. ,ef Peters
burg. Yancey knew that Collier was too
we'll posted for him-He knew that Collier
would expose his false statements aud rid-
die his arguments He knew Golfer had his
record at his fingers ends, and would crush
him before the people Yanoey is STUART

Easr Proposition.

Five members of the Douglas and john
son Club, at Stauuton. have agreed to pay
all tie expenses Mr.. Yancey may incar be-
tween this time and the 9th of November, if
he will come back to Virginia and canvass
the Western portion of the State for Brecz-
inridge and Lane. They will not only pa y
his necessary expenses, but furnish him a
servant to wait on him throughout his tour.
They desire that he shall deliver the speech
es he made in Staunton and Harrsonburg
in every Districb IN Western Virginia, and
at as many county seats as possible. If he
will do so, Douglas is good for the State by
10, 900 majority. "Come back, William" -
Oh! do.
