To STOP BLEEDING.-Asa Kemper, Ross county,
Ohio, writes to the American dg,icniturtst that
bleeding from a wound on beast may be
stopped bv mixture of wheat -four and common
salt, in equal parts, bound with cloth. II the
bleeding be profuse, large quantity, say from
three Pints- 1t may be left for hours or even
days if necessary. In this manner be saved the
lite of horse which was bleeding from a wounded
artery; the bleeding ceased in five minutes after
the application 1t was left on three days, when 1t
worked loose, was easily removed, and the wound
soon healed.
GETTING KEADY.-The following is from the New
Orleans Crescent
By the opening of fall, we expect our priva-
tee.smen will capture one hundred millions more
of Abolition property ah1at, which, taken in con
nectOn with the utter prostraton OF trade, will not
materially facilitate Abolition capitalists in making
the tremendous advances LincOlus Government
will require before the first of September The
wicked fanatics have pleasant prospect before
them.
CorroN LoAx.-The cotton planters are rapidly
taking up the Confederate loan The plan is, that
the planter sells his cotton to the Government
taking in return the bonds of the Confederate
States, (Which bonds, bearing interest, will
pass as currency The Government will sell
the cotton to Europe for specie. This will give
the Secretary OF the Treasury at least 5OOOO,-
600 to carry on the war. All over the South the
planters are subscribing, and the plan is regarded
as grand success Charleston Cor. ~. T. Ddy
