More session.

Georgia has followed in the wake of
South Carolina and the other seeding
states, and is now out of the Union SO far
as resolutions can place her in that situa-
alton. What the next move will be We
cannot say. Louisiana will probably dis
solute" next, and Virginia undoubtedly will
do the same thing in short time. Then
Maryland will go and some Of the other
southern states, if not all, with perhaps
two or three exceptions, will not be- long in
going through with the same performance.
In the mean time the question remains
undecided as TO what our government in
tends to do. Old Buck is maintaining a
'masterly inactivity in the matter, and
seems to be bent on doing nothing to
thwart the movements of the Traitors We
thought after he had re modelled his Cab
met and got rid Of the vagabonds who
came so near running the General Govern
ment into the ground, that matters would
60 on better, but there seems to be some-
thing wrong yet. Never mnd-the Fourth
of March will soon be here and then we
shall have man in the Presidential chair
who las got backbone enough to aid
him III standing up straight in the dis
charge of his duty.

We Hope Not.

1t is urged by great many Democrats,
and net few weak-backed Republicans,
that Mr. Lincoln ought to come out with
some sort of manifesto, defining his po-
sition and letting the people know what he
thinks of the present state Of affairs, and
if possible throw oil upon the troubled wa
ters by giving the South some assurance
that he, as President, will have no dispo-
sltion to harm them. We hope Mr. Lin
coin will do nothing Of the kind. He is
not President yet, and until he is we trust
he will keep silent and not interfere in any
way with the questions at present agita-
ting the public mind The fourth of
March is the time for him to speak and we
have little doubt that he will do so in be-
coming manner, at that time, and not be-
fore. The South have no reason to feel
alarmed at the advent of the Republican
party into power, however frightened they
may seem to be as the time for it approach
es. Their bullying may scare some of the
Northern people out of their wits, but Dir.
Lincoln is not man 81 easily alarmed,
We want to see him go right straight along,
attending to his own business, and when
the proper time comes for him to express
his views, to do SO fearlessly. Until then,
we hope he will pay no regard whatever
to the demands made upon him to pandsr
to the wishes of fanatics and disunionists,
whether living North or South.

In Good Condition.

According to all accounts some of the
seeding States are in deplorable situa.
ton, and will soon be starved out if they
are let alone. Mississippi, it is said, has
not dollar in her treasury, has not paid
the members of her last Legislature, has no
credit anywhere on account of her shame
less regulations, no military organizati n,
no food to speak of, no money to buy it
with, and nothing but niggers and chival-

The Admission Of Kansas.

The rights Of Kansas have at last been
recognized by the General Government
and she is now one of the States of this
Union, unless President Buchanan shall

we do not think it at all likely be will do.
The bill for admission passed the House of

SHEARING SHEEP.

Few know how TO shear sheep properly. The
following hints will be useful:
First, In shearing time, do not pen your sheep
more than half day at time. To do 40 makes
them week, irritable and difficult to shear.
Second, think the best plan To shear, is on a
platform, sixteen or eighteen inches high. The
sheep should sit OH the table, and rest its back
and head on the left leg, the left leg is on the
table, the right one on the floor. Commence
cutting the wool at the brisket, shearing along
the belly letting the wool roll to the left where
it will be out of the way. When this is done,
shear the flank, then commence at the point OF
the shoulder and run the shears To the right ear:
shear the reck to the left side as far the back
bone. Now change sides with the sheep, stand
ing the right foot the table, ana finish the neck.
Nov shear the right side, finishing on the right
hind leg. In this way, the fleece is kept whole
the sheep is turned but little, thus avoiding
struggling, tearing of fleece and injury to the
animal.
Within the last eight years. have shearea s..
900 sheep without having fleece kicked to
pieces, and seldom cut sheep; there is no ex
cuse for cutting fat sheep. When badly cut
they will always kick, and then the shearer will
pound them with his shears or fist. The kinder
you treat a sheep the better they behave. Many
wool growers want their sheep sbeared very
close to the hide, but this is not so well for the
sheep nor for the next growth of wool. When
shsared close, the hot sun Injuries them material.
