By TIMOTHY TITCOMB.

A horse can live, aud do great deal of
dull work, on hay /; but spirit and speed re-
qnre grain. There is no self supplied, per-
eunial fountain within the animal that ena-
bles him to expend more in the way of mus
cular power than he receives in the way of
muscular stimulus and nourishment. Food,
in its quality and amount, up to the limit of
healthful digestion, is set over against, and
exactly measures, under ordinary circum.
stances, the quality and amount of labor of
which horse is capable. So. COW can
live on straw and cOrn.stalks but it would
not be reasonable to suppose that she would
give any considerable amount of milk upon
so slender a diet. We do not expect rich
milk In large quantities, to be yielded by q
COW that is not bountirully fed, with the
most nutricious food. The same fact at.

Panic In the Seeded states,
The Philadelphia Press says editorially ::

The Philadelphia Press says editOrialIy:
"Latc informotion, upon which
we can rely, authorises US to state
that a general panic has taken
place in the seeded States since
Monday last. The preparations
Of the Federal Government to
sieze certain important points OH
the Southern coast, and the uh-
protected character of that coast,
are among the chief reasons for
this rapidly increasing feeling.
"Davis and the confederated
traitors having failed in their
absurd demonstration upon Wash
ington, (Which was in fact never
real are now loosing the conf
deace of the troops gathered be-
tween Richmond and the federal
captal,i land are daily attacked with
the utmost bitterness by the peo-
pie they have seduced into their
conspiracy. 1t is fact which G.
vents will soon establish, that
thousands no1O in the rebel army are
anxious TO be taken prisoners By the
american arny, in order that they
may be rescued from the fearful
horrors under which they are suf-
fering. Nothing prevents an out
burst in favor of the union in N.
Carolina, save the invasion of that
state by the S. Carolina troops ;
and such mon as Holden, More
head, &c. will undoubtedly speak
out against the traitors the mo-
ment they feel strong enough TO
do so
Every dollar of gold and silver is
caughtup and hid away, and mer-
chants and tradesmen only part
with their goods for the paper of
the confederated government, and
Of the different state authorities,
because they are compelled to
yield.

HEAVEN AND 4 CLEAN APRoN.-A good
honest soul once said that "all she wanted
when she reached Heaven, was 10 put on

idea was more profound than funny. There
are times in every houSekeeper'S life, when
this would be the embodiment of paradise.

irving and directing when every bone
aches in the attempt to carry the programme
into successful execution when after hav-

OfalI the prisoners captured at
Hatterus, no one is said to be so,
utterly chop-fallen and detected
as the once naughty Commodore
Barron. Nor is this in the slight
est degree surprising, when We
read the statement, that when on
ly I3 years old, he was appoint
ed midshipman in the Navy,
and from that day to the rebel
lion, not less than fifty years in
succession, he has with his family
been entirely supported out of tho
treasury of the nation. His pro-
motion having been rapid, his sala-
nv has amounted to thousand per
wear. Favored with command af-
ter command, numerous perqui-
sites, and the highest pay for half
| a century, he conlesses his graft
tude to his country by turning trai-
tor to the glorious flag that had
honored and protected him all his
life, and becomes a despised and
miserable rebel at last.

Kentucky and Ohio.

Amid the general disturbance of public
affairs, the relations of Kentucky and Ohio
have come to stand out with unwonted pro-
minence. And it is most gratifying to wit
ness the grateful affection that has been
everywhere manifested by Ohio for her sister
State, in the evil days that seem to be com
ing upon her. Ohio remembers the time
when the brave and gallant Kentuckians
marched through our forests to drive the
savage from our helpless homes. And now
when foe, not less fierce, and scarce lcs'
fiendish, has invaded her soil K threatens he
homes, Ohio's remembrance is aroused ant
she feels the blow that has been aimed al
Kentucky. In the coming struggle Ken
lucky will not stretch out her hands to us
in vain. Ohio feels as one would feel were
the debauchee to attempt the abduction OF
a beloved sister from the embrace Of the pa
rental houshold and thus feeling, her blow
will be given with a certainty and energy
that will teach the invader of Kentucky's
peace, that Ohio will never forget or de-
sert her friends, nor shrink from manful
meeting of her enemies.

"GIvo Me Liberty, or Give Me DOAth ~

"GIvo Me Liberty, or Give Me DOHth :"
PATRICK HENRY.
They listened to those thrilling words,
While scarce breath was heard,
For in those mute impassiored souls,
The deepest rount was stirred.
And fiercely dark grew mary brow,
And fire flashed from many an eye,
AS hill and valley echoed round
"To arms 10 arms ! they cry.
Then closed the flashing steel with steel,
The rafting death-shots fell
And how they conquered on that day,
Their children proudly tell.
We, who for fourscore years have shared,
With grateful patriot pride,
The prize for which they braveIy dared,
For which they freely died.
And now again, the cry-"To arms r
Rings through this vast domain
And widest where the recreant sons
Would rsnd their gift in twain.
Not now across Atlantic's tide,
Opposing armies come
They gather by Potomac's aide,
And round that sacred tomb.
Then shall we trail our Stars in dust,
And bravely dare to fallH
No ! firmly placed in Heaven our trust,
The right shaIlyet prevail.
Our watchword-Liberty for those
Who hate the tyrant's rod,
And death to those who scourge and bnG
The noblest work of God.

AFTER CoFFEE.-The closing
of the rebel ports has diminished
very greatly their stock of coffee.
All their privatees are now on tho
track Of ships carrying from the
ports whore coffee is exported.
They are cruising about from
fIatteras to Rio JanCiro, but chief
ly in more southern attitudes, their
deprOdatians in the West Indies
having brought the attention of
our cruisers to that quarter. Fly
ing about as they are, they can do
a great deal of mischief; but If
the rebel ports were well block
AIDED, their prizes will not be able
to get in, and most Of them may
be re-captured.

Carr JONI Brown, Jr. passed through

Camp Wade, for a temporary stop, ultim.

They were about fifty strong, but others
