Republican Caucus.

WARRINGTON, Dec. l1.-About 60 gentlemen
were present at the Republican caucus-fnally
the pending resolution of Representative Burn
ham, was unanimously adopted. 1t provides
for the confscation Of all property Of Rebels in
arms, and all who aid and abet them, and the
unconditional emancipation Of their slaves. @
Mr.. Sherman took the ground that We never
could put down this Rebellion with tie bullet,
that we must employ the slaves to do it.
Nj. Pomeroy, from Mr.. Stewards county, dep
ricated strife. He wanted the Republican par
ty maintained, and said VIC ought not to indfault
with the Administration, that we should blame
ourselves, that we had abandoned our party,
that there was no longer a Republican party in
New York, Pennsylvania or Ohio.
Nessrs. Julien and Dnnn, Of Indiana, in the
same strain, closed the debate, which showed
Enthusiastically that the House will strike straight
and sure right at the head of the Rebellion.

For several days to come large numbers Of
refugees from the southwest part OF this State
are expected to arrive in this city. Hardly any
of these unfortunate people have money sufi.
Gent to pay the toll at the toll-gates, on the
roads leading into the city, and in view of this
fact. We think the County Commissioners should
instruct the toll gate keepers to allow all south
west refugees to pass the gates free of charge.
The toll gate keepers will have no difficulty in
recognizing these refugees. No body OF people
hereabouts ever presented q more pitiable aspect
than is presented by hundreds Of these poor
families. They are all poorly clad, and many Of
the women and children look emaciated, as if
from long suffering. They are truly objects Of
CHARITY and deserve all the charitable assistance
which can be rendered. We trust, therefore,
that the toll gate keepers will be instructed by
| the County Commissioners to the above effect
at once Two or three days ago train of refu-
gees was stopped by one of the toll gate keep
era, and out Of the whole crowd sufficient money
could not be raised to pay the toll for one team.
The road n eantime was blocked up by the
teams and under the circumstances the gate
keeper was compelled. to let the refugees pass
without collecting the dues. 1t is the design Of
these poor people to settle in Illinois-to rent
land for the present, and sabsst as best they can
They are destitute of all the necessities of life
however, aud during the present winter will ne
cessariy be subjected TO the most terrible sui
fering, unless charitable people relieve thei
present wants for clothing, money, and provi

PAsTURING MowING LANDS IN AU-
TUMN,-John Johnson, who is good au-
thority on all matters relating to practical
farming, writes to the Boston CuGtirat0r
as follows:
l think it bad policy to pasture mead
ows-mowing ground-in autumn OF
spring. We can get here, double the
quantity of hay, if the meadow is not
pastured, and therefore we only require
half the land to get the given quantity OF
hay from, and the other half can be ap-
propriated to something else This
agrees with the opinion of the Maine
Farmer upon the subject, but a corre-
spondent of the Valley Farmer gives the
reason for an opposite course. lie
says;
My experience is that pasturing mead
ows of this kind in the fall season of the
year, is a decided advantage to them,
provided that they are not pastured too
much, and for the following reasons =
II meadow is left to stand after harvest
without pasturing in the months of Au-
gust and September, if there be any fall
rains, the wild grass and weeds will
spring up, and as they grow much taller
than the full growth of timothy or blue
grass and if the weeds and wild grass
are allowed to remain all winter and
spring, they will be materially in the way
of the following harvest. | have made
ample experience to prove this in our rich
bottom lands. My opinion is that mead
ows should be pastured after harvest, say
in the months of September and October,
sufficiently to keep down the weeds and
wild grass. / have noticed, particularly
in our bottom meadows, where a parti-
ton fence ran through the meadow and
where one side was paStured regularly
every fall season, and on the other side,
being a cornfeld, or in some way not ad-
mitted pasture by stock, that while the
side of the meadow regularly pastured
every fall would keep good set, the 9TH
er side, not being pastured, would in a
few years be taken with wild weeds and
become worthless, unless broken up and
newly set.

THE PROFESSOR PUZZLED.

In the certain part of certain city il
the United States, not very far from New
York, there lived once upon time, a sour
Grabbed, and anything but sweet dispo-
sitioned professor of physiology, who
kept school, with the express intention
of teaching noting but that science.
During one of his previous lectures on
that science, he happened to mention the
fact-in a physiological sense--of people
not being the same in the morning as they
were in the evening-that is, the body
undergoes several transformations during
the night, and, in fact, in not many min.
utes.
One day, the professor being irritated
at not receiving correct answers from one
of his promising pupils, genuine son Of
the Emerald Isle, insisted on his staying
away from his lectures.
All went on very well until the day of
the next lecture, which was to take place
during the following week, when, as usual
instead of staying away, as the professor
wished, he presented himself in readiness
for the next lecture.
The professor being engaged in some
writing, did not perceive bis arrival until
he was about to commence his lecture,
when observing Pat snugly ensconced be-
tween two companions, in the farthest and
most obscure corner of The room, he thus
addressed him:
Patrick McMahon, thought | told
you at the last lecture, never to show
yourself within the walls OF this ROOM"
You never told me anything of the
kind before shure. Och! murther, to
say that to my mothers own son p
What Do you mean to tell me that
didn't order you never to come here
again? Explain yourself!"
Well, you must know, sir, at the last
lecture, you said we weren't the same
people in the morning as we were atnight,
aud shure / can't be the same person |
was last week, can |, sir 7" asked Pat
with the utmost noncbalence.
The professor tried to look hard at
Pat but after looking at him for a few
seconds, his countenance relaxed, and he
laughed long and loud, together with his
pupils, at the singular manner in which
he was caught.
1t is needless to add that Pat was al
lowed to visit the following lectures, and
the professor often relates to bis friends
how he was puzzled

COLONEL MULILGAN.-Col. Jas. A..
Mulligan, the gallant though unsuc-
cessful defender of Lexington, was
born in the city of Utica, N. Y, in
the year 1929, and consequently is
in his 32d year. His parents were
natives of ireland. His mother, af-
ter the death of his father-which
took place when he was child-re-
moved to Chicae o, where she has
resided with her son for the past %
years. He was educated at the
Catholic college of North Chicago.
He is a strict member of the Catho-
| lie Church. In 1852, '53, and "a
he read law in the office of Hon.
Isaac n. Arnold, Congressman from
the Chicago district. For short
time he edited the UesterR Tablet, a
semi-religious weekly newspaper in
Chicago. In 1856 he was admitted
an attorncy-at-law in Chicago. The
winter of 1851 he spent in Wash
ington as a clerk in the Department
of the Interior.
After his return from Washington
he was elected Captain of the Shields
Guards. On the news arriving of
the bombardment of Fort Sumter,
he threw his soul into the national
cause. The Irish American compa-
nies held a meeting, of which he was
chairman. Shortly afterward he went
to Washington with a letter written
by the late Senator Douglas on his
death bed, to the President, tender
ing regiment to be called the Irish
Brigade, He was elected Colonel,
and Immediately went to work with
a will. The course of the Brigade
up to the battle of Lexington is well
known; it has nobly, bravely, and
honorably done its duty.
Col. Mulligan is worthy of all
praise, A purer a better man does
not live in the state of Illinois,
Since he was able to tell the diff
ference between ale and water, a
glass of spirituous or malt liquor has
not passed his lips. He is a rigid
temperance man, although he is
jocund and whole-souled to fault.
He is six feet three inches in hight,
with why, elastic frame, a large,
lustrous, hazel eye, an open, frank,
Celtic face, stamped with courage,
pluck and independence, surmounted
with a bushy profusion of hair,
tincturcd with gray.

A FIGHTING CLERGYMAN.-Rev. b
G. Ward, pastor of a Congregational
church in the village of Ganese, Illinois
conceives it 20 be his duty to forsake the
pulpit for the field. He has received
authority to raise a company of infantry
but proposes to enlist clergymen only
an appeal to his clerical brethren, pub
lished over his own signature, calls upon
" the fighting stock of the church mill
tant" to prove to the world their willing
ness to seal with their blood what they
talked in their pulpits," and closes with
this extraordinary passage:
Much as we have said and done to
prove our loyalty, we have not yet re-
sisted unto blood striving against sim
Shall we now, at the call of Christ come
out from our velvet cushioned barracks,
whence we have so often hurled bold,
indignant words at the giant niquity of
the age, and meet it face to face with the
bot shot of riAed artillery; with the
cleaning bayonet, or with clashing sa-
bres in hand to hand encounter?"
