THE Boston Post, the leading Democratc
journal of New England, thus sums up its
idea of the duty of Democrats. We concur:
We believe the President is endeavoring to
meet the crisis in manner according to his
sense of Justice and that, however much we
may differ from him in some Of the details OF
his labor. it is our duty to ardently support
the principal measures taken by the Govern
ment to suppress the rebellion. We may sug-
gest and adyise-detect and expose errors
and frauds-but we conceive it the first obli-
CATION of every patriotic citizen to do all IN
his power to nerve the arm of the Administra-
ton in its struggle to sustain the Union and
the observance Of the laws. 1t appears to be
the general impression, without reference to
party prejudice, that two or three changes
could advantageously be made in the Cabi-
met but if these cannot be affected, we must
do as we'll as We can with the material at
hand, and abate not jot in the great work
necessary to bring the present contest to
successful and speedy conclusion. To speak
plain and boldly of evident mistakes and
abuses, will teach caution to the imprudent,
and check the unscrupulous; but while we
do this, we should abate nothing in our ex-
ertion to afford every attribute Of power the
ofici authorities Of the nation are capable
of fcxcrcising in restoring the country to peace.
There is momentous issue at stake-it Is
life or death to the Republic in view of
its Importance, all other questions, for the
time being, are dwarfed to insignifcance.-
Therefore, whether the method to accomplish
the end essential to our existence, be agreea-
bic to us or not, we should endeavor to use
the best means allowed us to advance the
main cause, and to sustain its instruments in
all their commendable exertions for the pub
lie welfare.

ly in the following amusing fashion:
"Our neighbor, Bob Mckee, the very
smart editor of the Courier, as soon as he
learned the result of Monday $ election, start
ed off upon fishing excursion. When the
twelve disciples were in great trouble and
pcrplexity as to what they should or could
do next, Simon Peter, with his usual facility
of resource, said, go fishing" and Bob
said SO too. He was so appalled, by the pop
ular vote, that he at once bounded from pole
to pole. Finding that in political conflict he
was out of his element, he went to see wheth-
cr he couldn't haul few pike, bass, and cat
fish out of theirs. Realizing that he could no
longer cheat the people, he lowered his pre-
tentions materially and undertook to retrieve
his selfesteem by fooling the poor simple
fishes. Unable to lead voters by the nose,
he thought he would try and pull fishes by
the lip. His present employment is decided
will have few hills and mountains to scale,
and good many fishes 1t is highly proba-
bic that his fnny victims will swallow his
bait more readily than his readers have swal-
lowed his statements. We protest against
his using nets; let him take his fish as his
Southern friends took the forts, arsenals,
mints, and revenue cutters-by hooking
them. We commend him to the fishing rod,
and we commend the rod to him, for we know
of no Editor that more deserves it or deserves
more of it. In case he drops line to fine
pike just to tell him he would like to see him
TO dinner, he may, if his liquors are good,
drop us line of like import. If at any time
the question shall be whether he shall pull a
big fish out, or the big fish shall pull him in,
both parties will please remember that we
are strict neutrality man. If he shall get
into the river and be devoured by the inhab-
itants of the food, we hope he will agree with
them better than he has ever agreed with
any patriotic party. We presume, however,
there is no danger of his drowning, else there
is no truth in old adagcs. If he does not re-
pent of his sins amid the calm and quiet
scenes of nature, the worst we can have the
heart to wish him is that the mosquitoes,
ticks, sand flies and cross dogs may bite, and
the fishes not. And please remember, dear
Bob, in all your fishing experiences, that the
devil, is the chief of fishermen, and that you
are his Bob"

WE read that upon certain occasion, the
Athenians having appointed many lawyers
and legislators to important generalships,
Antisthenes, in the Public Assembly, moved
that a law be passed declaring all the jack
asses in Athens-horses. Being called upon
to explain the meaning of so singular a mo-
fion, he very gravely said that it was just as
easy to make horses out of jackasses by law.
as It was to make good generals out of mex

CURE FOR GLANpERs.-Spencer r. Paneck,
in the Cotton Planter, gives tho following
account of the manner in which he cured the
glanders:
MY horse was valuable one, and mad
had the glanders some twelve or eighteen
months; so badly did he have it that | offer
ed to sell him for fifteen dollars. He could
be heard breathe from fifty to one hundred
yards every breath; indeed, we could not
sleep well, so distressing was his breathing,
the stable being close by. determined to
kill or cure; so, for experiment, on Monday
/ gave him as much calomel as could lie on a
ten cent piece: on Wednesday did the same;
on Friday gave it to him again. On Sat
urday he could bite pumpkin on Sunday
looked in his trough and found at least a
quart of old mattery scales, with a mixture
of matter all in a lump. From that time he
breathed easy, and was never troubled with
glanders it was a perfect cure. | worked
him in buggy for two years after, and ira
ded him as a sound horse to q neighbor, who
was familiar with his disease all the time he
had it. lie was slightly salivated-was as
good after as before. A neighbor tried the
remedy with equal success.

DIFFICULTY OF HANDLING LARGE BODIES OF
TROOPS The following extract from lale
English letter may be interesting 10 some
editors who think they know more about
military science than do any Of our Generals ::
fear there will be much ignorant impa-
ticnce at the mistakes which must inevitably
take place in handling very large bodies OF
troops. Lord Clyde, after fifty years eXSpe.-
rience, with great ability in handling a diVi-
sion well, in front of the enemy, made some
terrible mistakes when he had 10000 men TO
command; and these were regular troops
What, then, must he the difficulties ot scott
and his officers with such vast bodies OF lr-
regulars to move? The Duke of ellington,
in giving his testimony on the probability OF
a French invasion, said there we're not three
old general officers in the English army who
could handle 100, 900 men without throwing
them iuto confusion. And it now turns out
that the French officers at Solfrrlno made
such a mess with their 100000 men That any
body but the Austrlans could have routed
them. shall not b6 surprised, therefore, to
hear of some serious misadventufes In Gen.

Curious Phenomena.

How is it you raise so large and nice
onions Z? | asked 9t an Iowa farmer, as |
was sitting at the table with him, and OBJ
serving some on the table.
Well, said he, We sprout the seed with
boiling water and then plant it carly in good
ground
Sprout the seed in boiling water! ex-
claimed inqniringly What do you mean,
sir, by that? Won't boiling water kill the
seed?'
Not at ALL he replied, but it will sprout
them 10 one minutes time
1t will it looks incredible = | replied
with surprise.
Well, you try it, he replied griuningly,
when the time comes to plant, aud you will
find il just as tell you.
And sure enough, when spring came, and
my ueigbbor was planting bis onion seed, and
being present, said,
Jewel, last winter a man told me in Iowa
that to pour boiling water on black onion
seed would sprout them ia one minute. Sup.
pose you try it?
very "cii, SAID 0e' ANA laAlDs lnc Tea

water thus boiling on the seed, which he had
in tea-saucer Looking closely at il for a
moment, he exclaimed. Ny conscience
you have told rightly, only LOOK there
| looked, and behold, the little sprouts,
about as large as horse hairs, we're shooting
out Of the opened ends Of the seeds =
He did not retain the water on the seed
above three $ conds, and in less than one.
he'll minute after it was poured Of, the
sprouts were projecting from the seeds
Ny Iowa friend assured me that this pro-
cess would advance the growth Of the onion
from two to three weeks beyond the ordinary
method Of planting without sProuting. Try
lie, farmers and gardeners. Much may be

tinet effect was produced upon the gtoss ;
upon the spot exposed TO the influence Of the

with much moro luxuriance than the grass in

II such efcc's are produced by the escape

must be the loss Of lcrtilizog matter from

But there are still other arguments against
