How THE PRESIDENT IyTERpRErs
ELEcTIoEs.-According to the Wash
iogton correspondent Of the New York
Times, there is great cause for encourage
ment in the fact that President Lincoln
rghtly interprets the results Of the State
elections rs a condemnation of the hes
i,aling policy which has controlled the
management of the war. lie is con-
frmed in this belief b. assurances re-
ceived from prominent members OF the
Of their readiness to sustain
him in any policy looking to the speedy
suppression Of the rebellion. These
promises, Of course, come from thor
oushy loyal Democrats, whose party ties
have bound them to their party for the
purpose Of keeping the Democratic or
sanizatjon from wholly falling into the
bands Of sympathizers with treason.

ASSAULT IN RYEGATE On the eve
ming Of the 25ih of Oct, one Martin
Chamberln was met in the highway
leading from Wells River, by four young
men, and an alteration took place, which
has been undergoing an investigation be-
fore c. S3mmtrs, Esq, during the past
week. The testimony for the govern
meut tended 20 show that Chamberlin
was met and way ylaid, and that he drew
a knife and inflicted several severe cuts
upon the person Of Thomas Nelson, one
OF the young men, when the other with
a bludgeon struck him over the head,
knocking him senseless. The young
men claimel, and although not entitled 10
testify, it "leaked out" on the trial, that
they were met by Chamberlin, who had
been 10 Wells River, and was somewhat
intoxicated, and that he comm eneed abu-
siye aud insulting languas se TO which they
made 10 reply, when Chamberlin got out
Of his wagon and assaulted young Nelson
with a knile. and was only prevented
from killing him on the spot by the inter-
ference OF bis comrades. Chamberlin
had the decided advantage ofthe boys in
getting the ear of the Grand Juror in ad-
vance, and tie result was that they were
mulcted in a fine Of $50.

rams of good age, avoiding, if practic-
able, a ram lamb or an aged ram and
fe cd him literally on nourishing and
bone and muscle producing feed, but not
excessively on fat producing feed.
Separate the eve from the ram after
being served. From 25 to 40 ewes is
enough for each ram.
know Of case last season, where
one ram was permitted to run with ITO
ewes the last flock of % lost sc per
cent. of t h e ir Ian bs--they had not
strength enough to get up, though from
ewes strong and in good condition.
We could mention a party in an ad-
joining county whose spirit of improve
ment for purchasing imported South
Downs we heartily commend, but who
the first season permitted bis ram to
serve 200 ewes, thereby producing a
family Of Downs deficient in size and
vigor, leading parties to suppose such
breeding to be fair representation of
this deservedly popular breed Of sheep,
thereby seriously injuring the breeding
of Downs in that section and surround
ings for the next generation.
Seed animals of all kinds should, if
practicable, be accimated before being
used. Last year rented a ram i'm
ported the same season, and not one of
the 25 ewes he had access to, proved
in lamb by him, though elsewhere he
had proved himself a sure getter. We
learn that quite per centage of the
mares in this vicinity, served last sea-
son by seed horse not acclimated,
proved not in foal, though he was re-
liable elsewhere,
If you wish TO have large and strong
ewes, do not breed from them till they
are two years old.
BY all means select the best rams
you can find, even if your unprogres-
5iye neighbors laugh at what may seem
10 them extravaganza in you.
Remember the price you pay for a
good ram is not what he is worth for
mutton and wool, as estimated by an
lnprogressive farmer, but for the pres
mt and prospective good he is capable
If producing in your flock, according to
he amount of purity of blood, or purity
# breed, which you wish to infuse into
'our flock.

PRTSoNERs OF WAR-TuE ExCHAN-
GGs IN OUR FAvoR.-Col. Ludlow, an
able and intelligent officer Of the staff Of
General Dix, has just completed ar
rangements with the rebel prisoners of
war; The result, as given in a report
from Fortress Monroe, is more favorable
to Us than was generally expected. The
boasts Of the rebels, oftLe immense num-
Der OF prisoners they have taken from US,
prove to have as little foundation as
mlny Of their other assertions; and the
account now stands in our favor by about
six thousand priyates and six hundred
and seventy officers.
Thus, though at Harper's Ferry and
on some other occasions we have lost
more than the enemy, and thus given
him occasion for his boasts, it appears
that on the whole, and taking the West
with the East, the advantage is largely
with US. What is thus true OF prisoners
is true equally of the general results of
the war. The rebels may have gained
some slight advantages in the East; but
their blows have been returned with
heavy interest in the West; and our
losses on the Peninsula are made up by
The successes Of the armies under Rose
cram, Graut, Schofeld, Curtis, Mitchell,
Morgan and others. The average Of
success, Ike the surplus of prisoners
held, is on our side; and now that an
energetic and Hitherto always successful
captain is at tho head of our greatest
army, we may hops to see the East re-
rieve for itself what it has lost, and rival
he West in The celerity and value of its
lperations-E1e Post.

RUSSIAN SERFs.-St. Petersburgh
correspondence ofthe independence Beige
states that a public proclamation is short
ly expected which will emancipate the
peasants Of the Crown, whose number
amounts to about 10000. When the
Emperor liberated the 100000 serls
of the nobility, be decreed that the peas
ants of the domains, of the appendages,
and others dependent on the state, should
have the same benefit, and likewise OBJ
tain the same title to the possession of
certain portion of land. To understand
the great significance of such a measure,
it must be known that three fourths of
the land belongs to the state. The COM
munities Of the peasants of the Crown,
who occupy part Of this land, pay to
the public treasury personal tax equal
to that which the peasants of the nobility
were paying to their masters. Besides,
their pay to the Crown, on rent for the
land one ruble for every dsssiantine (two
aud half English acres.) But this land
is ceded to the community only for sim.
pie usufruct; the part given to family
passes never from father to. son, unless
by special favor and temporarily. Usu-
ally distribution of the land takes place
every third year. 1t is made in every
community, where the arabic land is di-
vided into as many lots or parcels as there
are able bodied men.
The forthcoming decree of the Empe-
ror will give to each peasant full posses
sion of that portion of land which he will
be cultiva,ing at the time the decree will
be issued. The peasants will have the
right to purchase, if they can, their little

have sufficient means, or may not wish TO
buy at once, will be allowed to do so by

G17 Benefits Herald pays the follow
ing compliment to the six members oil
Congress elect from the city Of New
York:
THE New York DELEGATION IN
CONGRESS. in political revolutions, as
in great freshets, some worthless brush
wood is always swept along with the cur
rent. In the New York delegation, just
elected to Congress there is grea. dea
of this sort of stuff. Fernando Wood
and James Brooks are the only smart
men-all the other delegates are mere
nincompoops, except Deacon Herrick,
who is worse than a nincompoop. The
places of such men ought to have been
filed by Sickles, COchrane aud other
talented patriots.
For our Two smart congressmen-Wood
and Brooks-we have bit of advice.
They must have now quite small, ped
ding, personal politics, and attend to the
great and grave duties which devolve
upon them as the representatives Of this
tremendous popular revolution"

CURING PORK.

A French chemist has lately asserted
that scurvy will never arise from the use
of salt provisions. unless sallpeter be
used in the curing; that salt alone an
swers all the purposes, provided the ami
NAL heat be entirely parted with before
sailing. He claims that the insertion of
pork in pickle alone is not sufficient, but
that it should be rubbed thoroughly with
dry salt after it has entirely parted with
its animal heat, and that then the fluid
running from the meat should de poured
off before packing the pork in the barrel,
This should be done sufficiently close to
admit 10 unnecessary quantity Of air,
and some dry salt should occupy the
space between the pieces, and then pickle,
and not water, should be added. Great
care must b8 taken to llI the barrel eu-
tire3y full, so that no portion of the meat
can at any time project above tie surface
OF the fluid for, if this occur, a change
OF flavor ensues such as is known with
rusty pork.
The pickle, Of course, must be a sat
urated solution Of salt and water, tLat
SO strong that it is incapable Of dssolging
more salt. It must be remembered that
cold water is capable OF dissolyiag more
sal: than hot water Working Farmer.

SACRIFICES OF A BARBARoUs KING
TO AVERT AN Earthquake. In July
last there was severe earthquake in
Africa. The King Of DAhomey, i'm
agining that it was the perturbed spirit
OF his father, speaking in his wrath, ap-
Peased it by ordering public sacrifices Of
human beings. The first day three
chiefs were beheaded, the next day
twenty four persons Of less degree, the
next day twenty four others. The fourth
day was devoted to leasting, Tut on the
succeeding day sixteen men and sixteen
wou Of Sierra Leone, attired in Ia
rOpean dress, after being faraded about
nj exposed to studied indignlics, were
beheaded with blunt knives, with as
many horses and an alligator, sacrificed
with them, and with whose blood their.
was mingled. One was cruciftd against
a tree, TO which he was fastened by nails
driven through his forehead, his heart
his hands and his feet, and, with horri-
bic touch Of the grotesque, large cotton
umbrella was stuck in the corpse's grasp. |
In the market the King was seated on a
dais, making war speeches to his assem- |
Jled subjects. Around were rows Of
CORY beads---the heads Of prisoners slain
during the night after being fright(uliy
tortured. All this is testified to by
Dutch merchant, Mr.. Euchart, who had
been invited to visit the King, rs he bad
a great curiosity to see a Dutchman.

LAST NIGHTS MAIL.
Special Dispatches to the New York
Press.


New YoRK, Dec. 5.-The Times army
correspondent says the result of Burn
sides interview with the President, is
that he will now be let alone, and allow
ed to follow out his plans in his own
time and way, free from bureaucratic die
tation at Washington, and confident that
he will have from the government all the
assistance he asks for.
The Times Washington special says
a special Cabinet meeting was held to-
day which, occurring one day in advance
of the regular meeting, is regarded as an
event of much interest.
The Committee on Ways and Means
have not yet held a meeting, but will
probably do so tomorrow to consider
the proposed amendments to the tax law
in order to be successful operation.
The Tribune has the following from
Washington:
DR. Barney, citizen of Baltimore,
was recently taken by rebel pickets near
Centreville, and forwarded to Richmond.
He has since stated that he went in the
way for the express purpose of being
captured. While in Richmond, where
he has numerous acquaintance, he had
frequent interviews with members of the
Confederate Cabinet, and was admitted
into many secrets of the rebel pro
gramme.
When the time arrived for his depar
| ture North he was sent by j. p. Benia
min, who handed him letters addressed
to Gov. Seymour of New York, Fernan
i WOol N,il,nItcri,o,Y, n,
| Cox, of Ohio; Bayard, Of Delaware; Rev
erdy johnson, of Maryland, and mum
Der of other noted Democratic leaders IL
the North and Border States.
In the verbal instructions given t.
Barney, no terms were asked for South
erners told him they would consent to NJ
terms. If not admitted to the Uniol
again as equals, they would not come il
at all What they ask is the granting o
an amnesty to all the military and civil
leaders Of the rebellion, so that an cleo
ton for members Of Congress can be hat
during the coming winter, and that bod,
be called together at least as early a
| April.
The Tribune has the following:
The situation is unchanged. The pick
cts fer five miles above and along tb
river are very friendly. Yesterday tire
of the enemy pichets, belonging to al
Alabama regiment, came across the rive
and.talked for an hour with ours They Ell
deavored to trade for coffee and over
coats. Two other rebel soldiers forde
in sight of their pickets and gave them
selves up as deserters. They were sen
to BurnSide's headquarters
The rebel force along the river is SUI
posed to be about $4,000.

The Allianee Confessed.

The Platte County Conservator, a no
torious Secession sheet of Western Mis-
souri,, appears with the name of C. l..
Vallandigham displayed for the Presi-
dency in 81, remarking that "he (Val-
landigham) is the leader Of the great con-
sentative and triumphant Democracy"
The traitors of Missouri, as well as those
at Richmond, know their friends.-St
Louis Democrat
Notwithstanding all the accumulated
evidence of Vallandighams reasonable
proclivities, the Voorhees, Democracy OF
this State seem determined to adopt him
as the standard bearer of their party in
1864. 1t would really seem that his
rebel proclivities is the cause of theil
great favor

By@ The seth Indiana, Col. Charles
D. Murray, marched from Camp Morton
yesterday morning to the depot of the
Terre Haute road. After the usual de-
lay of transferring the men and baggage
to the cars the train left for the West
This regiment was organized in the 18th
Congressional District, and went to Ken
lucky some few months since and was
engaged with others in the defence of
Munfordville, when they were taken
prisoners and paroled by Bragg. They
now return to the field, exchanged sol
diers, with pretty full ranks, and under
the lead of their gallant officers, Colonel
Murray, Lieutenant Colonel Harvey Cra-
ven and Major Cubberly, will do good
service wherever it may be their fate to
meet the enemy.
In the afternoon the 9th Indiana,
Colonel Frank Emerson, marched from
Camp Morton to the same depot, and
soon after departed for the field of blovdy
strife. This regiment was, also, among
those captured att Munfordville, and its
marching through our streets, by compa-
ny, was executed with a skill and regu-
larity of step and dress that many older
regiments are not capable of executing.
The departure of these two regiments
leaves Camp Morton almost depopulated
there being but rs soldiers left there.
These are stragglers from different regi.
