To Stop Bleeding.

Asa Kemper, Ross & Co, write
the editors OF the American AgricuI-
turist that bleeding oS wound, on
man OF beast, may be stopped by Il
mixture OF -four and salt, bound on
With a cloth. II the bleeding be-
profuae, use a large quantity, say
iIOm cne 20 three pints. It may be
left Oh four hours or even days, if
necessary; Iu this manner they
saved the life of horse which was
bleeding from wounded artery; the
bleeding ceased in Eve minutes a.cs
ter the application. 1t was left on
three days, when it worked loose, WIS
easily removed, and the wound soon

Why SO Few were Killed.

The Charleston Mereury thus
explains the ressou Why there was
20 little luss Of life iu The taking oi
Fort Sumpter:
First it was known that only SO
many men we're in garrison at Sump-
ter. They could, accordingly, mau
euly SO many guos.
Mex, il was kpewn that only go
many euss could be brought to bear
UPON our batteries, aud these bat;e-
lies were SO placed, accordingly, as
10 allow Of their expossrs only TO
the smallest possible number Of guns,
Sand bags and iron, and traverse, did
the rest
Again. il was deliberately arrang.
cd that The enemy 10 Fort Sumpter
should be driven from the bartctfs
ss soon as possible. The Grss Of
Fort Moultrie and other points were
calculated to bear almost solely On
the barbette. Major Anderson, be-
ing pious philosopher Of the puri.
tan school, seems to have made a
bIunder ut the beginning, 10 not
opening fire for full tive hours at.
ter the Carolina batteries had been at
work. By this time the range had
been gained, and his barbette had be-
come quite too hot for comfort. 1T
is ssid that, having no oil, he could
not see to shoot at haifpast four in
the morning. But hisslfficulty could
only apply TO bis easements on his

his assailants, and 10 fact, being
some forty feet higher, he bad some
thing more. Could be bave kept up
the work at his barbstte guns, be
would have done much more mis-
chief But Csl. Ripley knew this,
and arrange ed, long before, that the
ba,bette must be rendered unsena'
b.es, an early hour in the morning;
and our artillery and she'll soon sue
.ceeded in making it SO; otherwise
Major Anderson would have had the
unsneskable satisfaction Of diseharg-
ING his mortar columbiad at the city
-which was not shooting at him -
