EMBALMISG. Last night visited the en-
baln1ing establishment of MeSsrs. Brown and
Alexander Stretched upon board, awaiting
the coming Of the anlbulances, was tho body OF
Gen. Kearney. The pale but marked features,
changed only in their appearance by their un-
natural color. proved how speedily the fatal
ball had sped its way.
The process Of cmbalmment was by making
an incision, four inches long, i'll the temoral ar
terry, inside Of the left thigh, and injecting
there Il certai- liquid, which, in three hours
permeate every vein in the body, and Will
render it Of a yeIloWiSh tinge, but marble like
in hardness.
Near his body, at the embalmer's, was that
Of Captain Beattie, Of Bristol, Pennsyl lvaria,
calm and very life-Eke, as also two others, one
OF whom was a young private, who had been
embaImed six months ago in high state OF de-
composition, but whose body, though bearing
the black and blue marks of putretaction, Was,
nevertheless, now perfectly hard and sound.
The number altogether, from various States
embaImed at this establishment, has amounted
to three thousand since the War conmenceu.-
Letter from Washington.
A gentleman who has been on the recent
battle fields reports to the Washington Star
that, although the Confederates were not able
to do much in the way of feeding the Federal
wounded, they treated them kindly otherwise,
as far as in their power; and Mr. Emery noted
many instances where Confederate soldiers di-
vided their scanty fare with the Federal wound
ed men, changed their positions to more COM

"One man 10 that vicinity intends planting
some two thousand acres. The Illinois Central
Railroad Company talk Of putting In from nf-
teen hundred 10 two thousand acres, and the
farmers generally are going 70 try H. expect
10 have ten acres. The intention Is 10 get most
Of the SEED from Kentucky and Tennessee, q
II Is thought II will do better than seed coming
from further South.
"If The season proves favorable, a large
quantity Of cotton will be raised in Illinois
The people ere positive that Il can be raised q
prohtably as any other product in the southern
half Of the State.
MANY are raising sorghum, which Is more
profitable 10 raise than corn or wheat. Other,
are cultivating tobacco, which grows very lux
uriantly. So you see the West Is 10 try It's owr
