SHOCKING DEVELOPMENTS THE San

stories about the San Franciscans. 1t saws:
We bought can of lard the other day
which was two thirds mutton fat, put up by
an enterprising San Francisco dealer An
other operator in the city makes "a good
thing out of the lard trade by buying east
ern packages, unsoldering the heads, taking
out pound from each ten pound can, and
then selling them at full rates, thus turning
an honest penny and clearing twenty cents
on each>can by this nice little business trans
action. 1t is whispered that the bark of the

The New STATE OF kANAwHA-Every
county of Western Virginia within the linn
its Of the proposed new State of Kanawa.
has, so far as heard from, given large ma
iority. and indeed large vote, in favor of the
proposition. Some of the returns are quite
surprising in their unanimity. Thus. Pres.
ton county, which was only little while ago
under a rebel reign of terror. and where the
county Sheriff and his minions announced
that they would hang any person voting for
the new State, has given l,164 votes in favor
and only nine against; and this vote is only
some two hundred below the largest total
vote ever polled in that county. The same
result is true of other counties along the
border, disenthralled by the visit of Gen.
Kelly at the head of his troops, and by the
breaking up of the ders of Secessionists at
Romnev. Delegates have been elected in all
these counties. with the same unanimity, to
the Constitutional Convention that is to meet
Mt Wheeling next month. The delega'es are
from the best men of Western Virginia. and
are largely composed of the pioneers in the
movement for division of the State; Thus
far the success of the movement has been
most gratifying. The consent of the people
is not a tacit acquiescence, but the full and
spontaneous ratification of the masses and
it viii be found when the full vote is made
up. which is now only reported piecemeal,
that nearly the entire voting population have
spoken in favor of new State. The volun-
teers under arms, some FIVE or six thousand
already. should be added to the calculation.
Sufficient returns also have been received to
show that Blair has been elected to Congress
in Carlile's district.

Mcclellan and Beauregard.


RusselI writes in late letter, saying:
..When had the pleasure of eonyersing
With Gen. Mcclellan for the first time, he
asked me several questions, with evident IN
terest and friendly curiosity-not unusual on
,he mart of Generals in reference to their an
taeonists-respecting Gen. Beaurngard.
In his case there was all the more reason for
such inquiries in the fact that they were old
follow students and classmates. To my
mind there is something of resemblance be-
tween the men. Both are below the medium
hight. They are both squarely built and
famed for muscular power since their college
days. Beauregard, indeed, is lean and thin
ribbed; Mcclellan is full and round, with
a Napoleonc tendency to embonpoint, sub.
dued by incessant exercise. Beauregard
sleeps little; McClelan's temperament re-
quires full share of rest; both are spare
and Spartan in diet, studlous, quiet
Beauregard is rather saturnlne, and, II not
melancholic, is of grim gaiety; Mcclellan
Is genial even in his reserve. The density
of the hair, the squareness of the jaw, the
tirmness and regularity of the teeth, and the
outlines of the features are points of simlla-
rity in both, which would be more striking
if Beauregard were not of the true Lousian-
ian Creole tint, while Mcclellan is fair COM
plexioned. Beauregard has dark, dull,
Students eye, the dullness of which arises,
however, from its formation, for it is full of
fire, and its glances are quick and searching.
Mcclellan has a deep and clecs eve, into
which you can look far aud deep, while you
feel that it searches far and deep into you.
Beauregard has something of pretension in
: his manner-not hauteur, but a folding
armed, meditative sort of air, which seems
to say, Don't disturb me /; I'm think
ing of military movements"
but you feel at the sane time you ought not
to intrude too much upon him, even when
you seek in vain for the grounds of that i'm
preston in anything that he is doing or say
ing. Beauregard is more subtle, crafty and
astute Mcclellan is more comprehensive,
more learned, more impressionable. Beau
regard is athorough soldier; Mcclellan may
prove that he is a great general. The for
mer only locks to military consequences, and
iisregards popular manifestations the lat
ter respects the opinions of the outer world,
and secs political as well as military results
IN what he orders. They are both the crea-
lures of accident, so far as their present po
sitions are concerned. 1t remains to be seen

Coon USE FOR CHAFF.---Nearly all the ex-
pense and trouble of grubbing stumps may
be avoided by a very simple contrivance.
Round each stump a trench should be dug,
six or eight inches wide. and eight or ten in
ches deep. This is filled with wheat -chaf.
into which a fire stick is inserted Nothing
else is necessary. The chaff shoulders away,
burning out the entire stump to the depth OF
the trench, quite beyond the reach of the
coal behind. 1t is said that charcoal could
be made in any quantity. by covering the
logs with chaff. and inserting a frecoal.
Excellent lime has also been made in the
some manner. 1t is hardly necessary to
mention that these operations must be per-
formed during the heat of summer. when
the wood or limestone is dry, and that q
calm day must be chosen, in order that the
chag may not be blown away by the wind.

The Red Bluff Independent says: q Far
mers double your diligence-an extra de-
mand viii be made upon you for the produc
tions of your farms; and not only will the
Government call for your products, but Eu-
rope depends upon America for bread. The
demand from England and France for wheat
the coming year will exceed. by many mil
lion bushels, that of any previous year. The
prospect for the farmer the coming year is
certainly encouraging, for, with the demand,
prices will advance: and the farmer should
be prepared to take advantage of the circum-
stances eff the times. The exports of this
country, which already greatly exceed our
imports, and increasing daily, together with
the large amount of money put in circulation
by the Government for the productions of the
country. will make money plenty, and we
shall experience easier times, and a greater
prosperity than the country has known for
several years past.

A Woman's Question.

Before trust my fate to thee,
Or place Hay hand in thine,
Before let thy Future give
Color and form to mine,
Before peril all for thee, question thy soul to-
night for me.
/ break all slighter bonds, nor feel
A shadow of regret
Is there one link within the Past
That holds thy spirit yet;
Or is thy faith as clear and free that which l
can pledge to thee?
Does there within thy dimrncst dreams
A possible future shine,
Wherein thy life could henccforth breathe,
Untouched, unshared by thine!
If so at any pain cost, oh, tell me before all is
lost.
Look deeper still If thou canst feel,
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept portion back,
While l have staked the whole;
Let no false pity spare the blow, but in true mer-
cy tell me
Is there within thy heart need
That mine cannot fulfill
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still
Speak now-lest at some future day my whole
life wither and decay.
Lives there within thy nature hid
The demon spirit Change,
Shedding a passing glory still
On all things new and strange?
1t may not be my fault alone-but shield my
heart against thy own.
Could'st thou withdraw thy hand one day
And answer to my claim,
That Fate, and that to-day's mistake,
Not thou-had heen IN hame
Some soothe their conscience thus thou, o, sure
ly, thou wilt warn now.
Nay, answer mott dare not hear,
The words would come too late;
Yet would spare thee all remorse,
So, comfort thee my fate;
Whatever my heart would fall-remember, l
acoRld risk it all.
