President. but Gen. Mcclellan, that he
should drive slavery before him, and if
possible destroy every rebel STAKEHOLDER, un-
less be should lay down his arms and b come
loyal subject. No objection was made to
his plan OF operations BY either President or
Commanding General. Slowly but surely
the Administration is drifting into the right
attitude toward slavery. Already our lead
ing statesmen perceive that We can never
have an enduring Union 50 long us slavery
exists upon the continent. and that il slavery
is to continue as political power in the
country separation is inevitable.
The news which comes from the South Is
encouraging, and men who have been dis
couraged begin TO be hopeful and Confident
Of the ability Of the Government - over
throw the rebellion. The crisis i un-
doubtedly at hand. Il is admitted On all
hands that in three months the question
will be decided. 81 certain Is the Admins
tration that this is the case, that foreign
diplomats here have been urged no. to Judge
the Government by the present aspects Of
the rebellion, but to wait quietly ninety
days lon,er, and then report to their res-
pectivc governments the condition OF affairs
this side Of the Atlantic. If this is good
advice fo- European diplomats aud govern
ments, it is equally good for the people OF
this country. w. B.

ROUGH NoTEs on MIIKING. The first Iro-
ce-s in the operation Of milking is to
" iOndle' with the cow-make her acqusint-
ance, and thus give her to understand thst
the man, Ur maid with the milking pail,
approaches her with friendly intentions, in
order % relieve her Of the usual amount OF
laeteal secretion. Il will never do to sp-
prOach the animal with angry feelings and
Intentions; should the mixer swear ,scold or
kick, and otherw ise abuse the cow. she may
probably prove as refractory as mule, and
may give the urcouth and unfeeling mixer
the benefit of her heels-a very pertinent
reward, % which be, the uDcouth mixer. is
Justly entitled.
Before commencing to milk, COW should
DO fed, or have some kind Of fodder offered
her, in view Of divertio ( her attention from
the otherwise painful operation of milking
by this means the milk is not held up"
as the saying is, but is yielded freely.
The mixer should be in close contact with
the cows body; for in this position, If she
attempts 10 Kick him, he gets nothing more
tian "push' whereas, If be sits of at a
distance, the COW has an opportunity to
iuhIct u severe blow whenever she feels
disposed to do %.
DelOre commencing % mix cow the
teats should be washed with water, warm or
cold, according to the temperature of tho
atmosphere. the object Of which is to remove
filth which might otherwise fall into the
milk-pail, to the disgust Of persons who
love pure milk and hate uncleanliness.
Mixers Of cows should understand that
the udder and teats arc highly organized,
and cOnseqently very sensitive, and these
facts should be taken into consideration by
amateur mixers. The hard tugging and
squeezing which many dumb brutes have to
submit to, IN Consequence Of the application
OF callous fingers, is btrbarity Of the worst
kind, for it often converts dOcIle creature
INTO vici US one, from which condition
she may not easily be weaned.

A letter from BrattlebOro' TO the Rutland
Herald states that Col. Thomas has taken up
Z sharp line Of practice with the rum sellers:
1t appears that some Of his soldiers had
been furnished with lquor-the Colonel had
demonstrated, but without effect. Again the
soldiers returned to camp intoxicated. Col.
Thomas, indignant IN view of such lawless-
ness, ordered out an armed company, and,
with pledge IN hand, led them TO the village,
visited each hotel and grocery suspected, and
demand d OF the landlords to sign the pledge
10 eel no more liquor to his soldiers. A reiu-
sal to comply would would make their liquor
e. contrablnd Of war; and consign It to
destruction. We understand that all signed
the pledge.

rests ON Brsttleboro', that the civil law

L. ". h., the intelligent Washington

The Institution Of slavery j. still the

of all the adyicu given by the timii and hes
itating IN and out Of Congress TO let the
subject alone. It canuct be let alone, but
comes up every day IN connection with some
resolution VI bill which affects slavery. Mr..
Bingham OF Ohio, has made a very able ls-
gal argument in the House in favor Of an
emancipation measure by Congress which
shall set every slave in the land froe. MIR.
Julian Of Indiana, occupied similar ground
in a speech On the other hand, Mr..
Wadsworth Of Kentucky, followed these
gentlemen in u pro-slavery speech, taking
the position that IF the Government should
uake the war the occasion 10 overthrow tie
institution of slavery, he would be against
the Government and in favor of the rebel
lion, Two or three of the Kentucky deleca-
tion agree with Mr.. Wadsworth, but the
majority are with Mr.. Mallory Of that State,
who declared few days since that if slavery
was Incompatible with constitutional liberty
and the Union, he would give it up. Mr.
Wadsworth represents district which has
a large slave population. "If slavery ID
