IsCoRN SMUT POISONOUS TO CATTLE.
e. Wood of Lester, Iowa, as related
In the Prairie Farmer, lost three oxen,
three cows and three calves last winter,
he supposed from eating the shouts of
cornstalks. He raised one and half
acres OF King Phillip corn, which was
very smutty, "not only many ears with
smut upon them, but occasionally
punches of clear smut-all left ON the
stalks, bound and stacked" When
cold weather came on, the cattle were
fed plenteously on these stalks. On
the morning of the third day he found
one dead-the eighth died within two
days. They were supplied with water
daily. Z" The first symptoms were weak
ness; would reel in walking. If lying
down, would lie apparently easy for
two hours; then begin to twitch or jerk
the shoulders, breathe hard, roll on the
side occasionally and groan. For one
or two hours before dying, would lie
continually on the side, with legs
stretched out, and manifest extreme
PAM would die within six or eight hours
disease N, ., r"' VI p'o'"' - ..' '"
All masses of smut grown on corn ~,
stalks, or any part of the ears &C a.,
grain, should be carefully removed go
as not to faint the fodder or seed of tbo
plant consumed by man or beast.

From the Appeal. Arkansas Troops-Gen. Dandrige McRae

Yesterday an event occurred at Camp Re- tor full of sadness. While the troops were sTrrayed for the purpose of receiving the banner presented by Miss Rozeii, General McRae announced his retirement from the regiment. His speech was most appro- priate and eloquent, and the manifestations on the pat of the troops showed with m mistlkabe certainty, the strong hold ne had upon their affections. Since hls brlel stay at Camp Rector, General Mckae mas been eminentlv successful in winning the hearts of all with whom he has been as- sociated The people of Memphis have watched with pride his movements, and II they have beenn silent they have not been forgetful or unappreciative of his labors. lie has proved himself a high hearted gentle man and an efficient officer. lie IS deserv- ing of the highest position in the military ranks, and we hope to see hm promoted commensurate with his merits.
 Alter General McRae had concluded his speech. three cheers were given for him by the troops with hartiness that made the wekin ring. The following orders were then issued bv Gen. Thos. II. Bradley, who assumed command of the regiment:
 HEADQUARTERS, A. NJ, May l3, 1S6t 7o 7Hos. 4. Brad1ey, Br;godier Gener0t 2d Uipjsion.

 .Sl,1iers of Me 2d Brgdde:
 Delerring until tomorrow any orders l may have to issue, let me as 1 enter upon a command composed of the truest and bravest of the gallant sons of Arkansas, say, that much as l might desire to i'm press upon the mind of each of you, the wisdom and necessity of promptitude, cheerfulnes, and exuctness in the discharge of your many and severe duties, feel that words from me, however earnest, are just now scarcely needed, while the solemn voice of vour country calling on you for defense, and the fierce cry Of the invader even now mingled with the groans of Missouris massacred citizens ring upon your ear and thrill through your heart.
 Rallied with enthusiasm beneath the new flag. your hearts aglow with love and have in part intru~ted to your strong arms the liberty, the honor, Gnd moyhop He VEN CHANCE of the South. as well as the defense of your own tiresdes and the dear ones around them. And besides this sacred | trust vou have still another incentive to gallant action and soberly conduct in the fact t'.at the eyes of the whole State are turned to you with anxiety, and of the country with deep interest.
 | That you. your country's vanguard be not needlessly sacrificed, that the bar ries opposed to the ruthless invader have all the efficiency that art and skill can give, that your headlong barvery and native impetuosity be means of victory and not defeat; that in a word you are and army, not an armed roJJte, discipline, rigid, without being wantonly harsh, must of course be maintained. To this rule of sub ordination no one will consider himself an exception; nor must any one think that the trival character of the infraction will be plea of palliation. Armies ere this have learned to their sorrow that nothing widens more rapidly or ruinously than small breaches in discipline.
 All that will be asked of you is that you will sacrifice on your country's altar a pet ty caprice, an unwise self-will; and surely men who are willing to offer up on that altal their lives and their fortunes will not with hold this. Be subordinate, then, as you are brave; love discipline as you do fight ing and you will soon be ready for the field When you are. l will lead you forward with pleasure, for l well know you will '' return with your shield or on it."

 DEAR SIR: Thinking it will perhaps be pleasure to your readers to know how the regiment under command of Col. Pagan is getting on toward the " seat ot war, l take this opportunity to inform you, that we have arrived at this place safe and sound, without "broken bones," and most Of us in perfect health.
 Nothing of much importance has occur red up to this time. We arrived at Pine Bluff at : o'clock, p. m., the day we left Little Rock, large number of citizens were assembled there to bid the Jefferson company forewel, and see the last of us all. A portion of the "Pine Bluff Guard'' came on board at that place bound for IIopefeld. The Julia Roane and Arkan- saw passed us there We did not oveitake them again until we arrived here. At Red Fork part of a company took passage on olr boat for Hopelield. The three com panies that left on Thursday have all gone forward to Lynchburg. The remaining companies will start this evening at 0 o'clock for that place, and will get there Thursday morning if we have good luck. Thus far we have had most prosperous time of 1t. hope it will prove prognostlc of our future success The boys are all in fine spirits, and very anxious to be at the attack on Washington, as they are desirous to have a hand in taking old Abe's scalp. No news of importance.

Who IS REsPoNsIBLE?-The Toronto (Canada) Leader justly holds the govern ment at Washington responsible for the war which has just begun. It says:
 The cabinet at Washington, in the calm judgment of the world, committed seri- ous error in appealing to the arbitrament of the sword; but it is now too late to adopt the only statesmanlike policy-to recognize secession as a fact, and act ac- cordingly. What has now to be done IS for the two confederacies to do each other as much harm as possible, in the least pos sible time; to kill as many men, to sink as many ships, to cripple as much as pos sible one another's resources. 1t will be war of brothers, and of brothers enraged against one another with an intensity of hatred that only brothers can feel. A less edfying spectacle could hardly be present ed to the world and while the general sympathy of mankind has been with the north the government at Washington will generally be held responsible for the issue of blood.
 And such will be the impartial judg- ment of the whole civilized world.

 The Law of Clothing i'll Regard to Volun-
 teers received into the Confederate
 Service.
 Much misunderstanding seems to exist among the volunteer forces called into the Confederate service, in relation to the sub- feet of clothes and clothing, and yet the law of Congress controlling the question is quite clear, and admits of no two construc- tions. Many volunteer companies, and battaions and regiments, entered the Con- federate service with the idea, that the war department would supply all deficiencies of clothing among them, and would more over be prepared with future supplies to meet the accrung wants of the soldiers; and, consequently, are now suffering in this respect, because of the want of proper ln- formation in the beginning, which their of ticerS and the State authorities should have given. The law of Congress, as set forth in the act "to provide for the public de- fence,' reads as follows, to-wit:
 Said volunteers shall furnish their own clothes. When called into actual service and while remain ing theren, instead of clothing, every non commis stoned officer and private in any company shall be entitled to money. in sum equal to the cost of clothing of commissioned officer private in the regular army of the Confederate States"
 By Mis iop ooiunteers propide, at oN hmes, Heir omn clotAing, anu receive Meretor com mutation W money, and in the passage of the law, Congress evidently had in view those public exigencies that required large forces to be thrown into the field while yet the government was in its infancy and stood provided with no regular quarter master organization.
 We have been thus explicit because it is highly desirable the matter should be thor oughly understood, as well among those troops already in service, as among those who are daily expecting to be called into service And we think it would be well for tine newspaper press generally, to set forth as we have done, the bect in the light of the law and the reason of the law

ARMS IN TIE SourH.-The erroneous opinion seems prevalent in some quar- ters that the South is totally destitute of arms and ammunition for her defence, and such a statement has actually been urged as sufficient argument against the blow which she has recently struck for independ ence.
