There are Some Things that must
be cared for in times Of War. rs
we'll ms in times of Peace.

There are very many ways that individu-
ais, communities, states and nations may
practice economy in time Of war. The in
dividual may commence by looping of many
articles that are worse than useless. lie
can, if the hard times affect bis business and
reduce his income, quit the use Of tobacco
in all the forms Of which it is used. -
Here a great saving can be yearly made
The small sums daily expended in purchas-
ing this oae article, would foot up large
one, in a twelve month. From this worse
than needless expenditure. We can come closer
home and learn to do without those articles
that habit has compelled US TO call, necessa-
ries. Take tea aud coffee for instance, wh ich
are now denominated necessarics and how eas :
lily We all can learn to do without them. -
Soon the habit Of using cold water instead
Of these articles will become confirmed, and
no doubt to the manifest advantage Of health
Certainly our pockets, and the patient Betty
that prepares these beverages will be the
gamers by the change. So We may 60 on
enumerating articles of consumption in most
families, that can be dispensed with, there
by efecting saving, Our wearing apparel
may be less costly or subjected to more ser
vice; and We can in thousand ways during
a twelve month find opportunity to practice
economy.
There are ways, however, and these are
the first rcsorted to, generally, in which We
cannot afford to practice retrcnchment. In
fact it is not retrenehment, but JUS. the OPP
posite. We cannot afford to take any back
ward steps in any Of the means or applian,
ccs employed to promote agricultural
knowledge, and the advancement OF all the
industries which characterize our commune
ties. All these interests must be fostered
and cared for literally and wisely. The
rearing of improved stock, and the intro
duction Of improved cereals, and the manu-.
facture of improved farming tools. must be
encouraged. Every method suggested by
the activities of the day every conceivable
plan for bringing out the resources OF the
earth in greater abundance, and turning 70
advantage the restless energies and inventive
genius Of the people, must be resorted to,
Our agricultural societies, and our mechan-
ical associations must be encouraged. The
farmers must be encouraged to raise larger
crons on smaller parcels Of land. and to de-

DEAR SIR As tie report may hare gone
abroad that Pleuro Pneumonia had made its
ape nee among my stock, viii give you
a history Of the cases that have occurred up
to the present time About two weeks since
two year olis were taken sick within few
days Of each other, all Of which died. The
first one was sick II, the second As, and tho
third SO hours
The symptoms were difficult breathing oc-
casioned by phlegm, followed by swelling of
the throat and rapid prostration Of strength.
The one sick SO hours had copious bloody
discharges from the bowels a few hours be-
fore it died. We had not time to effect
much by way of remedies Since the above
mentioned died, had COW taken appar-
rently rs the others, and We gave salt pc,re
internally and allowed her to inha.e the
smoke Of burning tar, the animal soon got
better. Whether the case would have prov
ed fatal, had nothing been done, Is unccr-
tain.

We have sent our young men to fight the
battles of freedom over again, now let those

something towards making home, our town,

Yet TO us, who claim no military
knowledge, it appears incomprehensible why,
II these representations Of the strength OF
Yorktown be true, that place is selected for
an attack. When we had once been foiled
in an attack upon Manassas we allowed sew.
eral months TO pass, white we had an army
Of more than two hundred thousand Of the
brayest men that ever lived within few
miles OF 1t, who had nothing to do bat OBJ
serve the motions OF the enemy, and who
were restrained from attacking il on accoun,
OF its supposed strength, which after all
proved To lie much less than our imaginations
had made il. II it would have been deemed
mad and rash act to assault Manassas, we
cannot see why the storming Of Yorktown,
the strength OF whose defences is attested by
history, should not come under the same
censure. II the enemy are too strongly
posted there, it is our business to draw theIn
from their pJsition-to make cur attacks
upon points less f5rmidably defended-tc
give the rebels work to do in places where
our advantages will be more nearly equal tc
theirs. We suppose it is a ruls in the art Of
war not to attack an enemy when be has us
at disadvantage, if We can possibly avoid
1t. Ii 1t be not, tiien the art Of war and
common sense are utterly at variance with
each other.-EoeHia1 Posi-.

WASHINGTON, 18th.
The Navy Department has received dts-
patches from Com. Dupont, enclosing a COM
munieaton from Commander Gordon, dated
L. 5. steamer Mohican, March Goth, from
which it appears that on the Eth ult., with
the launches and another armed boat he en-
tered Jekvl Creek and proccede1 to Dabig-
nous place, where he discovered battery
of three guns commanding that station, and
the remains OF a camp of some DO men. A
considerable number of cattle remained on
the Island, but were very wild upon our men
approaching them.
On tae 22i the Bib made her appearance
and Capt. Boutelle at once commenced plac-
ing buoys for the bar and channels.
Commander Gordon says contrabands con-
tinue t. cone to us. sent a number BY
the Potomski to Feruandina, and also sever
al by the Connecticut.
We landed our field pieces and n strong
force on Colonies Island, and obtained wha.
we needed, and that night after again firing
a she'll or two a. Fancy Bluff, We proceeded
to ST Simons
There Landed all the contrabands with
their corn, provisions, tools, &c, and having
housed them, set them to work. Alre dy
they have planted potatoes Tomorrow
they will begin to prepare the land for corn.
they have set up their mill and have told
them that tley are to plant cotton, thus to
become of Use to themselves. They seem
contentei, but without vessel at the other
end of the Island they are in danger OF be-
ing luteriered with, soldiers landing in that
direction and approaching them at night-
