FOR The past three years have tried TO sell goods

determined il possible, to break up this credit Susiu
ess. To accomplish it, purpose selling for one year
without any profit what will pay freight and
peuscs selling. BY SO doing shall place our
selves position that must refuse no matter how
anxious may be 10 accommodate. And ON the other
hand prices will seem much lower to parties pur.
chasing that they have regard for their own ia-
teresI>, they will make fort pay cash tor what
they buy. Thus by the end OF the trust, par.
ties VIII in the habit of paying cash for what
they nuy. and fully satisfied The saving will be
them that they could not be induced TO buy on cred

from the Country Gentleman
eighb0r Graw---Nintering Stock.
Nv neighbor Graw.
Feeds "lots" of straw,
How plain his cattle show il!
They're rough and lean,
And look quite mean.
But still they have TO "go H."
He thinks that straw.
Will fill the NAV,
That being his great object;
And thinks that heat,
Will be complete,
And 50, his cattle go it."
To feed them hay,
He says, won't pay,
So starves his cattle to 1T:
Corn, beets and straw,
Fed long and raw,
IL their chief food and diet.
A crop of roots,
He always boots,
A. being without profit:
And shorts and meal,
lie does not feel
HOW much his Cattle nesu H.
His cows are dry
Good reason why,
Before Old San.a's visit;
For milk, there's none
In straw ton:
If unbelieving, try il.
Yet neiglbor Graw,
Is true as law.
A type of many others
Numbers are found,
The country round.
Who do this thing like brothers.
But "Straw is strdtr,"
So saws the law,
No matter how YOU fix it,
Stew'd, steamed. or raw,
1t still Is str1.r,
Tho with corn meal you mix il.
Now neighbor Graw,
Regard the law.
And exercise some reason;
Yeur stock want hay,
Just twice day,
At this cold blust'ring season.
Don't sell your hay,
Before next Nav,
Unless You have barn full;
And FIJI the NAV,
But not with strar---
Such stuff for stock is harmful.
(For neighbor Graw,
I've shown that law,
As well as sound good reason.
Fix straw to be,
Unchanged you see.
Tho cut and highly seasoned.)
And then. next spring,
When robins sing,
Sow carrots for your cattle
To feed next year,
And do not fear,
Twill cause their bones to rattle.
Open your eyes.
And be more wise
Such doctrine do not utter;
Meal roots and hay,
you'll find will pay,
II fed for beef or butter.

Shall they have Comforts

The way to "aid and comfort" the enemy to-
day, Is for the Republicans to be Indifferent as
to whether they vote or not. What would
give the seccssionists of the South, and Of the
North, too, more joy, than to find, when the
ballots are added up this evening, that Bon
Bradbury and his coadjutors have received
respectable number, and the Republicans have
felt so confident in their strength as to give
meagre vote on their part?
Would there not be joy in Richmond on that
occasiona Do you suppose it would wait the
slow progress of the mail to convey that de-
lectable news TO that arbitrator JEFF Davis I?
Wouldnot the Geographic wires be made avala-
bic to comfort this man, who would ruin his
country to crafty his ambition? A vote show
ing strength in the North, about which. they
would insist, a growing discomfort would ac-
cumulate, would send as much joy to the re-
bellious villains who domcie i'm Richmond. ms
did the war of the angels. make BeeIzebub's
battalion sing for joy in the Internal regions !,
The "safifon tea" with which this tottering
man sustains his sinking frame. would be ex
changed for the sparkling champaign. and the
revels OF those princes in villainy might well
be compared to the triumph of Lucifer and
his satellites when the rebellion broke out -
Let these men have no such consultations for
their aching souls. Throw every vote that
can be thrown, and show that the Union is
first and foremost with us, now and forever.

From the 5th Maine Battery.---Death of
Lieut.. TwitcheIl.

We are permitted TO make the following ex-
tracts from letter written by a private in the
9TH Maine Battery. The letter is dated, Fort
Ellsworth, Alexandria, Va, Sept. 2. &
after fighting daily and nightly, changing
our position, followed up by Jacksons immense
force--our Division always bringing up the
rear, under Gen. Ricktt of McDowell's corps,
we arrived near Manassas, where, last Satur-
day, a terrible battle took place, mostly fought
upon the left where our Division was placed,
and where the enemy had concentrated his
strongest force The battle ragged furiously.
Our Battery was ordered into very danger
Gus position by Mcdowell in person, and the
boys fought like tigers. We rot between two
fires, and our horses were all shot at the guns,
and our men fell fast. Lieut.. w. L. Twitchel
was killed, also two sergeants and from ~ to
20 privates. The infantry fell back and did
not sustain us. Gen. Towers was wounded
severely while trying to rally them to assist us.
Lieut. Twitchell behaved nobly during the en-
gagement, and A. Ii. Twitehell fought like IL
hero, cool and self possessed all the time.-
Our Captain (Leppien) was sick and not in
action, but he has proved himself ''true blue"
during the last fortnight and full of courage.
| was taken prisoner with some others. We
We're paroled and released, and sent here.
What they will do with us do not know at
present, as we have just come in. Our Battery
got off only one gun, and is entirely used up.
What there is left is ordered in here. Gen.
Towers remarked that if he had had two Brig
AIDES of Maine boys he could have whipped the
enemy all alone.' j. A. p

That the election to-day is as important, to
say the least, as any that has occurred. The
quiet in regard to it, only grows out of the inn
minent position of the rebellion. The vote to-
day, will show how warmly the administers
ton is to be sustained in its trying position
Every voter should be at the polls, who loves
his country and hates secession, TO show by
his vote that he win sustain the administration
and of consequence, The Union. The Union is
to be sustained by ballots as well as by balls.
a meagre vote of the Republicans to-day, will
be claimed as a halfway confession, that the
time-serving, timid men, are right, when they
say you are too harsh and hard with our South
ern friends that persudsioRs and compro-
misses are just the thing, at this hour, and that
bons-bons should.bepresented to these despera-
dos instead Of bayoncts and bullets.

70 Our friend Stackpole and the Tempe
rance Journal are informed that we always
have published the proceedings of the Tempe
rance Conventions when they have been fur
nished Us. The Temperance journal il seems
to us, makes the same mistake that is often
made by radical reformers-that of blaming
every body who don't think exactly as it does
upon it. Nothing is gained by such a course
We have often known men to be driven from
the support of the Temperance reform by such
a course on the part of its friends. In the alb
senee of our Senior, we have only to say, that
the Press intends to mind its own business II
will always be found, we hope, upon the right
side. The Junior Editor takes this occasion
to say, that his position upon this question is
well known in this State. We have never
hesitated, npon any proper occasion, TO avow
the principles which govern our life in this re-
garland have cndeavored to make our ex-
ample accord with these principles. We have
frequently noticed, however, that many who
make strong and loud professions fail to live
up TO them, and for this reason, more than to
any other one canse, is To be attributed the
failure of the Temperance reform to reach its
desired and desirable obiect-that of rescuing
from destruction the victims of morbid APP
petite for strong drink.
