vote his own sentiments is the only pract!-
cal illustration of voting cattle " that we
have ever yet seen Earh of these men
had a ticket in his hand or pocket, made
out by one of the prOprietors of the firm,
and so fearful were the owners of these men
that they would not vote the entire Repub-
lican ticket, that they both had 10 march
them up to the polls in a body and give
their personal attention to the voting, and
see that each man voted the ticket prepared
for him by his master. Had either of these
men attempted to act as a free American
citizen should do, and vote his honest senti-
ments, we presume the consequences OF
which would have been that he would have
at once been discharged.
The men who permit themselves to be
driven up like cattle to the polls under the
eye and immediate presence Of their en-
ployers, are not so much to blame as the
employers are themselves. Many of them
are poor, have wives and children to support,
and should they lose their situations, might
be placed in an awkard position.
Although the Republican party hate ne
gro slavery, and are DESTROYS of making the
negro their equal, yet, when Kratz & He'll
man marched their men up to the polls like
so many cattle, they gave such a howl o.
applause as has scarcely ever been heard il
this city.
We regret that in the free State Of In
diana, that the workingmen of the STATE
cannot be trusted by their employers to 90
to the polls and exercise the right of suffrage
in their own way, subject to their own con
sciences. Such, however, was not the fac
n this instance, but we sincerely hope tha
another instance of the kind may never
| happen upon the soil of Indiana.
We think these articles were the primary
if not the sole, cause of the difficulty.

From Our own Correspondent.

SHAwNEETowN, Ills, June 6, 1861.
EDITOR JoURNAL-Dear Sir Matters in
this place are quiet, since the visit of the
w. B. Terry, and the jeff. Davis sympa-
thizers content themselves with giving YER
bal demonstrations of their views Of public
affairs, and their antidote for the present
condition of the country. In this they do
not hurt any body and most any of US have
sufficient forbearance to hear resident men
assert til at most of the leading men of the
North, and particularly the prominent Re-
publicans, should be at once strung aLp,'
and that " the South should have her rights
in the territories" and all such stuff, espe
cially when there is slight sprinkling o.
Southern traitors put in TO season the hash.
Nobody wants to quarrel with those max
ing such assertions, as long as the parties
concerned are all safe, and matters seem in
so fair train of adjustment, and in-so en-
tirely different a manner.
The farming interests of this region are
unusually promising, except the evil that
has come upon many in the form OF the
arn7g avorne." Great devastation of limo
thy meadows is asserted, and considerable
damage to corn, wheat and oats, is reported.
But the impression seems to be, that the
worms have had their day, and the damage
on the whole, will be less than generally
supposed Apples and peaches promise
abundance, and we hear of no complaints
that mother earth is not doing her whole
duty this year to every one trusting her
with seed in due time.
Trade here is reported dull but men that
keep up their stocks and attend promptly
to business, record fair daily transactions
1t is not uncommon in such times as these,
when business, for a season, has become
comparatively Frustrated, men allow them
selves to be overcome young business men
especially by the prevailing notion that
! nothing can be done. They neglect what
they ought to do, lose their trade, and Ill
timately fail; while others that keep a
sharp lookout, and are ever found prompt at
their posts reap at the end of the year fine
harvests in additional profits growing out of
the imbecility of their neighbors.
Though expected by most of our reading
community, the announcement of the tact
of the death of our iIlustrious Statesman
and patriot Stephen a. Douglas, in your
! Journal of the 4th cast deep gloom over
the minds of our citizens. The Circuit
| Court, which is now in session here, was
adjourned, yesterday, and the day set apart
for fitting demonstrations of mourning. The
business houses were closed and draped in
black-all the bells were tolled. A process
sion, both civic and military, was formed
and moved to the Court House. when an
/ address was delivered referring to the prom
inent traits of character of the illustrious
dead, by his Hon. Judge Sloan, and through
out, the day was appropriately observed hy
our citizens, as one of sorrow and humilia-
ton. L.

KNOX COUNTY BoNDs.--At meeting of
citizens of Knox County, held at Vincennes,
on Tuesday last, to take into consideration
the Railroad Bond question, resolutions
were passed affirming that the county had
authorized the issue of the bonds through
fraudulent representations; that they were
bought up by the present holders for a
merely nominal sum that the people of
Knox County were determined to resist the
payment OF the full amount of said bonds to
the last extremity, but were ready to com
promise by paying the bond holders the
sums they had paid for the bonds, with the
accruing interest, appointing a committee
to ascertain what compromise could be
made, and endorsing the action of the Coun-
ty Commissioners.

THs ENGAGEMENT AT PHILLIPPA.--We
learn from the correspondence of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, telegraphed from Grafton,
Virginia. that the rebels at Phillippa were
under the command of Col. Ruterfeld, of
Eastern Virginia. Col. Dumont's seventh
Indiana Regiment led the attacking column.
Col. Crittenden's, the sixth, did not get up
in time to participate. The night march is
said to have been remarkable. The cores
pendent says: In looking at the ground,
one is astonished that they could travel the
distance, under any circumstances, in the
time they did. It was never exceeded in
the military history of the country.

DR.. e. III. JACKsON.-Dedr Sir :-RestOred to
health, as 1 have been, under God, by the use Of
invaluable " Hollands German Bitters,'' I
ieel thai owe yOu this public acknowledgment.
a ont the year 1888, while residing in the city
of Baltimore, I attacked with Inflammation of
the Bowels. For some time paid but little atten-
ton to it, supp0sins it would pass off. But
the disease grew worse, and 1 became seriously
alarmed at its progress. I now had recourse to
medical advice, but without any marked effect. I
rapidly lost flesh, and became emaciated to uch
degree to attract the attention of all with whom
l came in contact. / cannot attempt to describe
the feeling OF utter helplessness that almost par
ayzed my efforts for fifteen years. Al length, tired
of ii G, but still willing for the sake of my family,
to make another effort, yielded TO the advice Ct
my friends and, an experiment, bought bottle
Of your Bitters. To my delighted surprise, felt
a change for the better, before had taken half the
DO tile. 1 continued its use, and purchased sec
oud BOTTLE which effected PERFECT CURE
Five years have passed away, and have experience
cd no recurrence of the disease. am now a resi-
dent of this city, and willing give to all sim
ilarly afflicted d statement of my case.

COAL ASHES,
For the Democrat,

This article is often thrown away, where
if saved, might be used very proftably
several ways.
Coal ashes when put around peach trees
to the depth of ten or twelve inches, pre-
vents the tree from being destroyed by
worms, and aids the tree in growth
Trees with coal ashes around them are
found to bear much better than those
which have none, 1t also may be applied
to other kinds of fruit trees with good eff
feet. Coal ashes is very good when put
on low heavy land it keeps the ground
loose and light, and such fields are found
to yield larger crop of grass than those
which are always heavy, and the ground
very much packed. o. II. D.

BREEDS OF SHEEP.

The following remarks on South Down,
Leicester, and Cotswold sheep, are from
report of lecture by John lyman before
the South Hants Farmers Club
Amongst the finer qualities, the South
Down holds the foremost rank wherr the
taste of the epicurc is to be consulted, old
mutton required, parks to be fed or on
arabic lands Of dry subsoil in warm
locality these sheep might Craze with as
great advantage as any other They
would also drive well, long distances with
out injury, making a close bite on short
herbage, but in the winter season they are
Lot 80 good proof against our tickle eli.
mate in exposed situations
The Leicesters, for grazing purposes, on
rich pastures, where no folding was requi-
red, the temperature warm, and weight OF
carcass, with early maturity in view, were
perhaps to be preferred to all others, es-
pecially when it was remembered that this
breed had partaken with other breeds, Of
the improvements of the day; for they no
longer found them as in the days of Bake
well, beautiful indeed in symetry and high
in blood, but too often like so many roll.
ing tallow tubs, fit more for the chambers
than the butchers shop. There was now
better interim xture of muscle or lean
meat with fat, by which the quality of the
mutton was much improved and the fleece
was third heavier with out having suff>
cred any deterioration in quality.
The Cotswolds in former days, were of
large, yet rather CROSSE grained carcass,
with good proportion of lean, heavy
fleece of wool, and more hardy than the
Leicester, byjudicious crossing with which
they have been much improved, arriving
much earlier at maturity, yielding fleece
of finer quality, scarcrIy diminished in
weight, and adapted to the same purpose
to which the Leicester alone had hitherto
been devoted, with the additional advan-
tage of retaiaing with the cross their origi-
nal harder nature. The produce of the
cross has been styled the Improved
Cotswold,' and is bred chiefly. in the
connties of Oxford and Gloucester, from
the hills of which latter county they de-
rive their name Acclimated on this ele-
waited part of the kingdom, and feeding
on pastures far inferior to the rich her
bage on which the Leicesters are in the
habit of grazing, it is to be expected that
they would be characterized by disposi.
tion to improve when removed to finer
soils and fuller keep. I have known them
wintered on the arabic shores of Hamp-
shire in the open air, with hay and turnips
only, become supcrfuously fat; while other
breeds fed on the same food, side by side,
have barely sustained themselves in good
condition.

GOOD SMOKEHOUSES.

The following description of smoke
house is going the rounds without credit
1t was about six feet square, the lower
half built of brick, furnished with an iron
lined door, and serving as an ash house
and prison for the fire. The upper part,
about four feet high besides the ascent Of
the roof, was made of wood. 1t was sepa-
rated from the lower part by scantlipg
joists, a space of two or three inches be-
tween them through which air and smoke
could freely pass, but sufficient to catch
any ham that might accidentally fall, and
thus save it from the fire. The upper
part, as well as the lower, was entered by
a door from the out side this upper door
may be kept locked, except when admit
ting or Withdrawing hams but the lower
may be left unlocked for the hired man to
build fires, without any danger of the con.
tents being stolen, as the thief cannot pass
through the opening between the joists.

CARE OF HENS IN WINTER.

The following plain rules for the winter
care of poultry, should receive attention
from all our readers:
Keep the hens in aSGrn,, clean place,
where they can have access to the sun,
whenever it shines. Feed them regularly
with variety of food, such as corn, which
may always be before them; barley,
wheat boiled potatoes, mashed and mixed
with cob meal-that is, corn and cob
ground together and give them access to
plenty of gravel, old plaster or broken
oyster shells. The barley and wheat may
be fed to them occasionally, if convenient,
Add to these plenty of clear water, and
pork or beef scraps, or bits of fresh meat,
two or three times each week, and you will
not fail to find your fowls profitable.

TO PREVENT COWS FROM CON-
TRACING BAD HABITS WHILE
MILKING.

Cows should always be treated with
great gentleness, and soothed by mild u
sage, especially when young and ticklish,
or when the paps are tender, in which case
the udder ought to be fomented with warm
water, before milking, and touched with
the greatest gentleness, otherwise the COW
will be in danger of contracting bad hab-
its, becoming stubborn and unruly, and
retaining her milk ever after. A COW
never lets down her milk pleasantly to the
person she breads or dislikes. The udder
and paps whould always be washed with
clean water before milking but care
should be taken that none of that water be
admitted into the liking pail.
