WE HAVE really space into which 70 copy all the

it is and where 30 display of i'll temper on the part OF
the Oberver can do more than display its consciousness
of an error which has not sufficient candor to admit

made IN our W,dnesdays issue from the Observer of
Monday word for word without the change OF word,

AesSrs. EditorsSome days since noticed your alusion
to the ICdt Of Battery Batteries of the high
lands near the lower end of the town.
Do you think it would be judiciouS to place Battery

boats Would rather inUtte aggression and furnish
for Smelling the town?
1t is good rule for residents of glass houses throw
stones. think cities do not usually attack armed ships.
WORKS Of defence should, suppose possible be placed
beyond shot of the places they and de-
Tend This principle has governed Us in the erection of
Batteries to cover the approaches to Wilmington
need not tell you 1Cee these Batteries located but
suffice it to say they deemed ample for the defence Of
the place

Chief Eng'r Cape Fear Dist.
We TAKE pleasure in publishing the above commu-
ncation from Col. Fremont, it contains assurances
which will be most gratifying to all,
We may be permitted to remark that we must some
how have failed to express meaning in the brief ar
tce to which COL f. refers since be understands it
differently from what intended it to be understood
We did not speak of tie presence Of battery or
batteries at the point points indicated as means of
covering defending the town from the approach of
gunboata but dsrner resort should ahy tcaV the
covering deences be passed by any portion of the feet
and to be used in the event of this portion taking posi-
ton in river to shell the town. Then surely nothing
could be lost and much might be gained by revealing
the fire OF q sufficient number of guns to make that bu-
siness Improbable.
But of course we defer to those whose Judgment in
such matters carries authority, while we merely offer
suggestions under correction and add these remarks
show that have not been quite forgetfu or un-
think ing as might be supposed.

washington and the Corporal.

Some of our volunteer officers show their
unftness to command by keeping aloof
from their men, instead of setting them the
example of manliness in toll and endurance.
The following incident is in point:
During the American Revolution, it is
said the commander of little squad was
giving orders to those under him, relative
to log of timber which they were endeav-
Oring to raise up to the top of some militia
ry works they we're repairing. The timber
went up with difficulty, and on this account
the voice of the little man was often heard,
in regular vociferations of "Heave away,
there she goes, heave no." An officer, not
in military costume, was passing, and asked
the commander why he did not take hold
and render little aid. The latter, aston
ished turned around with all the pomp and
splendor of an emperor, said, " Sir, am a
corporal y g You are, are you - replied
tbe-cfficer 9 / was not aware of that -
and taking off his hat and bowling, the Off
Ger said, q ask your pardon, Mr.. Corpo-
raj" and then dismounted, and lifted till
the sweat stood in drops upon his forehead
When the work was finished, turning to the
commander, he said, & Mr.. Corporal when
you have another asuch job, and have not
men enough, send for your Commander-in-
Chief, and 1 will come and help you a Sec
ond time" The Corporal was thunder
struck. 1t was Gen. Washington who thus
addressed him.

Milking.

The New England Farmer says: Milk
ing is the most disagreeable work on the
farm at least so think large majority of
the farmers in this vicinity Before a per-
son engages work for the season he is very
particular to inquire how many cows are
kept? There is nothing, to be sure, very
hard about it, but it is a kind of work that
any one, however much he may be pleased
with it at first, dislikes to do after little
experience.
Kicking COWS are very bad to manage.
Not unfrequently the best COWS for milk are
very fond of exercising their legs while a
person is milking, and in this way e great
deal of milk is wasted by the inexperienced
milker A person very naturally springs
back when a COW attempts to kick, which is
exactly what the COW wishes, for she can
then have full liberty of her legs; and be-
fore you know it the cows foot is in the
pail Instead of springing back, sit up as
near the COW as possible, keeping the pail
which should be between the knees-as
high as it will bear. In this position there
is some danger Of the cows starting round
suddenly and tipping the milker over, unless
the head be braced against the COW so as to
resist any such movement. Some recon-
mend tying a cows legs when she is frac
tious. putting machine in her nose, &C.,
but this should never be resorted to except
In extreme cases. Cross COWS will gener-
ally become gentle by mild treatment. They
will be coaxed, but you cannot drive them
much easier than you can men. Cows

A slow mixer dries them up. This is why

such a small mess of milk.

The Hon. Amos Kendall, in denying
that he ever approved of the emancipation
course of Gen. Hunter, utters the following
words of truth:
'There is but one safe course for the
Government to pursue, and that is to disre-
gard all party affiliations and adhere firmly
to the programme originally announced,
viz. the prosecution of the war for the sole
object Of preserving the Constitution and of
Union with the rights of the States intact,
to be followed by peace as soon as those OBJ
iects can be attained. If there be not firm
ness enough in the Administration to do
this, we are on a sea of revolution, with
scarcely hope of ever reaching the haven
Of unity and peace.
