fattcned from thirty-fve cows. I then
commenced making cheese and contin-

a cheese every day weighing, on all
average, 81 81 pounds each, making
an aggregate Of 6,s43 2-7pounds two
thirds of which I have disposed Of 1t
81 cts. per pound, making the total
value Of the cheese made (supposing
the remaining third to be worth the

received for the calves was 414sOO.

made 900 pounds Of butter, which sold
for $500. Ithen let most Of my cows

SPECIAL PRovlDEScEs-Cromwe, in all his mis-
sives to Parliament, recounting his victories, took
especial pains to ascribe them to the special inter-
position Of Providence. Many ofthe incidents at
the battle of Bethel are well calculated to increase
the faith of those, who like Old Noll, believe in
special Provdences. The mere fact that five thou.
sand men, with cannon and rifles and muskets of the
most improved style, for four hours were firing on
the Rebels without killing but one man, Of Itself
approximstes the miraculous. The fact is not &C
shots; that they aimed too high or aimed too low.
They did both very probably but certain it is they
shot in the midst Of our ranks--plouehed up the
land in front and rear and killed mules and horses
under the saddle and among the men. A Howitzer
informs us, that while loading one gun-vhich took
about minute-6ye rife or ,nusket balls struck
the cannon and two Of them struck the end Of the
cannon one on either side of the hand Of the man
who was loading, yet nobody was hurt. Such an
incident is SO much out of the range Of ordinary
events Is to justify the belief Of that Omniuotent
interpretation, which illustrates all thu DESIGNS Of
wicked men. Rick WHO. 'e'' y

VOLUNTEER MILITIA OFFICERS.


In view Of the numerous volunteer corps which

He is ambitious Of ofice-ready to risk his own life,
and to sacrifice the lives of all under him. with his

his reward. A courtier, who is eloquent ia his

your forefahers are only to be surpassed BY those
to which he will point the way. Elect him! Yes,

q military command. Hewill use you as mere step
ping stone to civil station. He would give cold
support to troops where another would reap the
glory. He would march you to DEATH to be up in

efficient service, but that it might count him 50 ma

BISHOP DAVIS ON THE WAR.-The following elo.
uuent and patriotic language is extracted from the
annual address Of Bishop Davis Of South Carolina:
"Having now, Beloved brethren, brought before
you nv official acts for the past year, must now
call your attention to more anxious and more thrill
ling thoughts. We are in the midst of war and its
consciousness We are looking out every day for
exciting events. Our hearthstones are upturned
Our brothers and our children are in the field. Our
y6uths. with whom we have heretofore only sported,
have sprung up into armed men. This is not con-
fined to few 1t is spread throughout the land
There is not heart which it does not reach. We
are filled with deep emotions and trying expecta.
tons. But this Is no time for Ueokness or for fears
A country was never SO saved We are called upon
for manly resolution, and for Christian hope and
trust Our cause is right and God is true. Let us
show the world that We can trust both. Let US
show them, too, that we are Southern men, and
claim independent opinions and sustaining indi-
viduality. We are not dependent upon crcum-
stances or combinations or numbers for our inward
strength but can stand erect in personal character
in the sense Of integrity and the fear of God. Be-
fore Him, indeed let us humble ourselves confess
ing our sins, implore His pardon, and supplcate HIS
grace and spiritual benediction. We thank God
that by the appointment of the Chief Magistrate of
our Confederacy, our whole country and people
have come before him in supplication and prayer:
Let US continue thus to always seek His face and
depend upon His favor and grace. In all our trials
and the commissions of the world let us lift up our
hearts to Him, and hear Him say, >"Be still, and
know that am God -,..

From the Bangor lMainel Democrat
THE STERN LOGIC OF EVENTS.

The rapid ful6lment of all the predictions of
Democratic speakers and writer's as to what would
take place in our beloved country in the event of
sectional triumph in the election of President
need not be attributed to any gift of prophecy is
the result of the Stern Logic of Events. Poorly
read in the history of government and poor STU
dent of human nature, must he be who, IN the face
Of the war are which the Black Republican party
has been for years waging upon the institutions Of
the South could have foretod the disruption of
the Union, and the disasters that might attend that
disruption.
Now that we have entered upon civil war, let
those who would read the story of the future ap-
peal to that same stern logic of events What
does it teach? We speak by its instructions
1t teaches that if Abraham Lincoln shall persist
in attempting to carry out the policy indicated in
his reply to the Virginia Commissioners, the fifteen
slave States numbering more than - 000,0 of
people, will unite in a common cause of defending
their firesides and homes
1t teaches that every man, within their limits,
capable of welding sword dwelling rife,
will tse the field determined like their revolution
airy fathers of old to repe the invader, to die in
the attempt
1t teaches that sooner later, the fate of every
Northern army sent within their borders will inev-
tably be that which overlook those of the British
tyrant which were landed on our coast to rivet on
our forefathers the chains of slavery.
1t teaches that the armies OF the N0rtn may meet
with occasional triumphs; may burn few cities
and devastate few fields; may rob the Southern
mother and her tender children of their peaceful
and quiet homes may here and there incite servile
instructions but successes like these will only
provoke the wrath of Heaven, and raise up for the
South "armies to fight their battles for them"
1t teaches that at last after one, three seven or
ten years shall have passed away, after our arries
have vanished before the never-failing aim of the
Southern rifle, the irresistible charges of Southern
cavalry and the terrible ravages of Southern eli
mate after myriads of Northern homes have been
made desolate, ard poverty and distress shall begin
to stalk abroad in the streets of our cities and vii
lagos, then the hearts of our people will yearn for
peace, and peace will come
1t teaches that the independence of the Confeder-
ate States will be recognized and that the North
will be compelled at last to grant that which, in
accordance with the spirit Of American liberty, it
should promptly and cheerfully concede.
Such the teachings of the stern logic of events
We put them upon record and invite all who read
this article to remember predictions founded upon
them. The authority Of the Federal Government
will never again be established within the limits Of
the seeded States The people of those States will
never again recognize that authority voluntarily,
nor can they be compelled to do so by force.

ARMY BEvERAGEs.-It has been discovered by
experience that soldiers on field and camp duty
require some cheering beverage, and since it has
been ascertained that alcoholic beverages inur
ious, the question arises, What can be substitute
ed for them?' We have very useful and practical
information on this head from COL Dawes an expe-
rienced Indian officer He recommends that coffee
and tea should take the place of liquors, and says
"care should be taken to have good coffee and tea
provided regularly in each troop and company, and
every man should have some offered to him, the rst
thing in the morning, before doing duty, and also
some in the evening When properly managed, this
practice is alike beneficial to health and morals"-
A very distinguished surgeon in the Indian army
States that from long experience in tropical climates
with soldiers in barracks and in the field he observ-
ed that 81 cup of warm coffee taken in the morn
irg tended to prevent sickness"
During the Crimean war, it was found that when
the soldiers obtained warm coffee, they sustained
fatigue, and were comparatively healthy; but when
they were in the trencher, and could not get warm
tea Or coffee, they were very subject to dysentary-
