s.SIR: II is evident now from the action Of
the commander of Fort Moultre that the solemn
pledges of this Government have been violated
by Major Anderson. In my judgment but one
remedy is now left us by which to vindicate our
honor and prevent civil war. Itisin vain now to
hope for confidence on the part Of the people OF
South Carolina in any further pledges as to the
action of the military. One remedy only Ia left,
and that Is, to withdraw the garrison from the
harbor of Charleston altogether. hope the

prevent bloodshed and civil war. sl

assurances given to the gentlemen Of South
Carolina who had right to speak for her -
South Carolina, on the other hand, gave recip
rocal pledges that no force should be brought
by them aganst the troops, or against the prop
erty of the United States. The sole object OF
both parties to these reciprocal pledges was tc
prevent collision and the effusion of blood; ir
the hope that some means might bo found for q
) peaceful accommodation of the existing trou-
bles, the two houses of Congress having both
raised committees looking to this object.
Thus affairs stood until the action of Major
Anderson (taken, unfortunately, while commits
siouers were on their way to this capital on q
peaceful mission, looking to the avoidance o
bloodshed) has complicated matters in the ex-
lsting manner. Our refusal, or even delay, to
place affairs back as they stood under our agree

Sleeping Rooms.

The air which passes out of the lungs Is
wholly nutritious. If rebreathed without any
admixture of other air, it would induce instant
suffocation. 1t contains q large amount Of
carboinc acid gas. This gas is condensed by
cold, and falls to the floor; heat carries it to
the ceiling; hence the practical fact that in
warm weather, those who sleep on the floor
breath the purest air; while in very cold wealth.
er, the higher one sleeps above the floor the
better is the atmospere. Hence, in a warm
room one should sleep as near the floor as
possible; in a cold room, the higher the
bed is, the better. A striking illustration Of
one branch of the statement is found in DR..
Halls new book on Sleep. When the Jail fe-
yer was raging in England, it was the custom
to hand the food and water through hole in
the floor above them. A case is mentioned
where the jailor and his wife died in one night,
in consequence Of the efluvia Of the prisoners
cells below; while the prisoners themselves
continued to live. showing conclusively the con-
centrated malignity Of the air at the ceiling as
compared with that on the floor.

Ready.made Yeast.

Perhaps all our lady readers may not under
stand the best method of having good ready
made yeast always on hand. We invariabl,
have good bread made from the yeast cakes
prepared as follows: Put into three pints of wa.
ter handful of hops, and nearly quart Of
pared potatoes, cut into small pieces. Boil for
an hour, and strain while scalding hot, into
sufficient -four to make stiff batter Stir it
well, adding one tablespoonful of fresh yeast,
and set it in warm place to rise. When light
mix ir stiff with Indian meal, roll out thin and
cut into round cakes or square pieces two or
TIVE and a half inches in diamater. Dry these
thoroughly and keep them in a bag in dry
place. They will keep good for months. Be-
fore using, take one of these cakes for each
medium sized loaf, soak in warm water till soft
and add no soda. Add this to the -four with
warm water, and rise in the usual manner
Some put the light yeast, without adding the
Indian meal, and use as needed. It will not
keep many weeks by this method.

How TO Transplant.

Those who have provided early plants of cab
bsges, tomatoes, ETC., in hot beds, cold frames
Or boxes Of earth, will of course transfer then
to the garden or field as soon as the the sol
and weather viii permit. A little care vii
save an immense loss. Before lifting the plants
Il 10 important to thoroughly soak the ground
IN which they are growing. Let this be done
several hours before transplanting. The great
er the amount of soil that can be made to ad.
here to the roots in taking up, the better
Take them up only as they can be set out; two
hours exposure to the sun or wind is often q
ioss Of some days in the growth, if not a total
Toss Of the plants. "No pains no gains" here.
Most persons prefer setting at evening, and
when the ground is wet by rain. We prefer a
dry soil, 60 that it will not be packed by
tramping. When the hole is made have pint
or more Of water poured in. Before the water
al soaks away, the plant is set in and the hole
filled up with dry earth. Most of this is wet
by the water, 20 that the plant is surrounded
with moisture and yet the surface is left loose
aud open-and not packed OF baked We are
certain that the trouble required is abundantly
repaid whether the number of plants be large
or small. What will pay in garden, will pay
in . field.
Most cultivators, however, take up the plants,
thrust them into hole, and let them do the
best they can.

sewing Peas and Oats Together.

3. e. Todd in the Ohio Farmer recommends
sowing these two crops together. He says:
Raising crop of oats andspeas on the same
ground. 1t the same time. a often attended with
good success; and when the object IL grain for
stock Of any kind. 1t is q mnch better way 70

peas. Peas are far more productive when they
have something TO sustain them, than when al.
loved 70 grow Is they may in PROSTATE or half
erect position. No grain will fructify - we'll
- when in an erect position. One OBJ
jecs, then, in sowing peas and oats together, is
to have the oats sustain the peas until the grain
has mat1red. In order to accomplish this OBJ
jet most enectually, the oats must not be SOW
ed more than half IS thick As they are when
other grain is sowed with them. Every good
farmer knows that when oats are sown very
thick. the straw is quite slender; but when
they are not very close together, the straw is
quite strong, coarse and stiff, and will remain
erect much longer. Nov by sowing about hall
- many oats per acre as Is necessary for full
crop, and by sowing at the same time as many
peas ~ are usually sown, much better crop
may be raised than il nothing but the peas be
sown; because the oats will keep the peas erect.
and they will gil the better and require less Ia
Dor 10 harvest the crop.

tis whether It il mingled before it is sown or at.
terward. Peas and oats, ground with Indian
com, or without corn, makes most excellent
food, especially for fattening swine; and many
good farmers SOW oats and peas for the express
purpose Of fatteniag swine. by giving them q
good start in the fattening process in the early
part Of the season, before Indian corn has ma.
tured enough for feeding.

The Care of Harness.

Leather is seldom injured by being wet if
hung up to dry, instead Of being left in mass
on the door or in corner, where the drying is
90 slow n to create mould. For general use
harness should be fairly oiled, and for this pur-
pose either pure meats foot oil should be used,
or the article known by the curriers' as "daub-
ing;" and this should be rubbed in while the
leather is moist, but not vet. The harness
should be wrapped up in q wet cloth one day
before the application of "dausing," or heats
foot oil; this should be rubbed on smartly with
brush for sufficient length Of time, to insure
It's entrance into the leather, rather than leave
it upon its immediate surface. If the leather
be positively dry this substance cannot enter,
and therefore the necessity Of its being moist
and plant at the time of application. Varnish
should never be applied; it fills the pores and
prevents the necessary access of air, causing
the leather to become crisp and rigid, and in a
short space of time it is rendered tender, csus-
| ing It 10 crack, break, etc. Before applying
any oily subtance to leather, all dirt should be
thoroughly removed from the surface, and no
other material than lampblack should ever be
mixed with oil where it is necessary to blacken
the. leather. Shoe backing is sometimes used
and always with injurious effects; it frequently
contains sulphuric acid, which. when brought in
contact with leather, rapidly destroys it. When
the leather is very dry as with boots and shoes
the injury from this cause is not SO great. Veg
etable oils should never be applied to harness
Of any kind, for after a while they harden the
leather and destroy its usefulness. Leather
curtains should never be vanished, but always
kept perfectly plant by very moderate and fire..
