Louisiana has {. white popu iation less by
20 coo than the population Of Vermont, yet by
L recent number Of the New Orleans DcNe she
appears to have sent forward and to have in
readiness for the war more than 20 900 men -
lbs must be at least one out Of every three of
tie adult male population of that State
From this fact it is quite apparent, not only
tat the South are making desperate efforts to
oltnumber the North on the battle field, and
ihus secure the victory, but it is also evident
:aac they have already done nearly all that tie
mos: enthusiastic military people can do, to fill
rhe ranks of an immense army. If all the Sc
;edea States do as we'll as Louisiana has done,
Jeff Davis will lave at his command at least
200, Oo0 men. In the same proportion Yer
mont would furnish thirty Regiments AS yet,
W. have furnished but three, and the period of
enlistment OF one these has expired. and the
Regiment will soon be back among our Noun
T4ins. The Governor has called FIR two more
Regiments to aid in suppressing this rebellion.
When these are raised, Vermont will have but
a little over 5000 troops in the field. We trust
and believe these Regiments will be quickly
flied, and, - armed and equipped as the law d.

Thu Control of the Mississippi.

Napoleon knew, and ICE kno,p, that to give up
the mouth of the river was to give up its
course. On Easter Sunday of 1903, he amazed
his Council with the announcement that he had
determined to cede the whole of Louisiana to the
United States. Not less to the establishment OF
the American ENJOYS, they were told by the
French negotlators at the first interview that
their master was ready to treat with them not
merely for the Isle of New Orleans, blu, for the
whole vast province which bore the name of
Louisiana whose boundaries, then unsettled
have since been carried on the North to the
British line, on the West to the Pacific Ocean
"a territory half as big as Europe transferred
by stroke of the pen. Fiityeight years have
elapsed since the acquisition was made. The
States of Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, Iowa
Minnesota and Kansas, the Territories of Nebras
ka, DacQtab and Jefferson have been establish.
ed within its limits on this side Of the Rocky
Mountain the State Of Oregon and the Terri
tory of Washington on their western slope :
while a tide of population is annually pouring
into the region destined in addition to the nat
ura increase, before the close of the century, to
double the number Of the States and Terrific

tween Pittsburg and Fort Union who claim the

fer of truly imperial origin and magnitude
theirs by a sixty years title, theirs by occupa
ton and settlement theirs by the Law of Ma
turc and of God. Louisiana. q fragment of
this Colonial empire, detached from it's main
portion and first organized as a State, under

SO doing that she will be allowed BY the Gov

possession and occupation of sixty years to re-

she fondly believes that ten millions of the
Free People Of the Union will allow her and
her seeding brethren to open and shut the por
tails of this mighty region at their pleasure.
They may do so and the swarming millions
which throng the course of these noble streams
and their tributaries may consent to navigate
them by sufferance from Montgomery and Rich
mond but if | may repeat the words which |
have lately used on another occasion, it will be
when the Alleghanes and the Rocky Mountains

A young gentleman of this
town, says the Vernon (Ky.) Ban
ner, came very near getting his
brains blowed out with a broom
stick, the other day. He was
boarding in a private family, in
which there is a rather attractive
young lady. AS he was leaving
the house after dinner, one day
last week, in passing the window,
he spied the young lady sitting in
a rocking-chair. In order to be So
ciable, and perhaps to quiz the
young lady, he remarked to her,
'Miss, you look sleepy, as though
you had lately fallen, orsoon would
fall, into the arms of Morpheus. .
The young lady, not perfectly
understanding the meaning of the
last term, took it that it was the
name of some young man; where
upon she told her mother how the
gentleman had insulted her by
saying that she had been Rugged
by Mr.. Morpheus. On the return
of the gentleman to his boarding
house, the landlady attacked him
with the usual weapon of a matron;
told him she would give him to
that her daughter was
never in the arms of Morpheus o.
any other young man, and notified
him to leave the premises sans GER
emonie. And the offending indi
vidual accordingly sought another
clearinghouse. Served him
right. He had no business thus
to insult an intelligent young lady.

the food was changed, timothy to

fectly drained and cool, when it
may be cut up and sailed. The
usual way is to pack the pork in
clean salt, adding brine to the
barrel when filled. But it may be

oughly on every side of each piece

ner, either dry or in pickle, but
with differently arranged materials.
The following is good pickle for
200 lbs. Take IA lbs. of Turk
Island salt; ] Id. Of saltpetre; 2
OTIS. of molasses, or 4 lbs. of brown
sugar, with water enough to dis
solve them. Bring the liquor to
the scalding point, and skim off all
the impurities which rise to the
top. When cold, pour it upon
the ham, which should be perfect
ly cool but not frozen, and closely
packed; and if not sufficient to COW
er it, add enough pure water for
this purpose. Some extensive
packers in Cincinnati and else
where, who send choice hams to
market, add pepper, allspice, Gin
namon, nutmegs, or mace and
cloves. @
The hams may remain six or
eight weeks in this pickle, then
hung up in the smoke-house, with
the small end down, and smoked
from 10 to 20 days, according to
the quantity of smoke. The fire
should not be near enough to heat
the hams. In Holland and West
phalia, the fire is made In the eel
lar. and the smoke carried by q
fue into a cool, dry chamber
This is undoubtedly the best meth
cd of smoking. The hams should
at all times be dry and cool, or
their flavor will suffer. Green
sugar-maple chips are best for
smoke; next to them are hickory,
sweet-birch, eorn-cobs, white-ash,
or beech.
The smoke-house is the best
place to keep hams till wanted
If removed, they should be kept
cool, dry, and free from flies. A
eanvass-cover for each, saturated
with lime, which may be put on
with white-wash brush, is per
feet protection against flies
When not to be kept long they
may be packed in dry salt, or even
in sweet brine, without injury. A
common method is to pack in dry
oats, baked sawdust, sc.
