thoughtless and rude habits toward the mem

AN UNCLE ON HIS NEPHEw.-In the last
number of the Danville ReYiew, Rev. DR..
Breckenridge thus expresses his opinion OF
his nephew, John c.. Breckenridge:
The conquest of bis own state by arms was
one of the points in this attrocious scheme, to
the defense of which the Kentucky senator
lent himself, at Washington, in his vehement
opposition to the Federal administration; and
in the support OF which, on his return to the
state in August, 1861, the conspirator be-
came a refugee and the refugee general, an
invader Of the land to whose defense he owed
every drop Of his blood. His expulsion, as a
traitor to the nation, from the Senate Of the
United States, few months later, was the
Just and natural result. He has not even the
poor excuse that he was loyal to Kentucky
lie was traitor 60 her also, and that with
treason aggravated almost beyond historic ex-
ample and destitute of every pretext ever
plead by traitors before

and one that will BECOME memorable in the
future. Two sons of Leonard johnson, Esq.
not far from Elyria, had enlisted in Capt.

He was told that it was his duty TO stay with

The rules for drafting adopted by Governor
Morton. of Indians, are eminently just, and
should be adopted 10 every State. The num-
Der to be drafted in any place is regulated by
the number Of volunteers which the place has
sent to the war. Towns which have already
sent, or more than their quota, will be visited
much more lightly than those whose inhabi-
tants haze shrunk from enlistment themselves,
and perhaps st-iVen to prevent others from do

In a recent number the London Times pre-
diets: first, that we Gao never raise three
hundred thousand more volunteers; and second,
that a draft will only be talked Of" 1t may
interest the prophetic Times TO know that our
three hundred thousand more volunteers are
already been raised, and that draft has al
ready been ordered. Try again.

The Governor of Ohio in Bad Fiz-News by way
Of England.


We naturally look for some change in such
a war as this. The successes of the confede-
rates have been for many weeks 80 frequent
and continuous that we have been expecting
something, at least Of minor kind, to make
the beam vibrate or keep up the usual see-saw
Of military events. But, although the Union
lists have the lens in their own hands, nothing
seems to have occurred which they can even
magnify into victory. We might have al
ticipated that the audacious attempts to iu-
wade a Northern State would have been
promptly repelled and severely punished
But IL s2ems the Confederate force is still up
on the sacred soil Of Ohio. The GoUernOr Of
thai free State is at his lcisends. The citi-
zens seem unwilling to volunteer even to resist
an invader and PROCLAMATION threatening a
concription has been found necessary even in
an invaded State undoubtedly loyal to the
Northern Confederacy.-Lndon TIm.s dug,

SALT FOR CABBAGEs.- Edward Carpenter, cor
respondent of the Farmer and Gardner. says,
that last year he tested the value of salt on cab
bages. and with satisfactory results. After
planting them out he watered them some two or
three times week, with salt water containing
about fifteen grains of salt to the pint. The cab
bage grew beautifully. and headed up very finely,
while those which had no salt water given them
produced loose. open heads, which were unfit for
any purpose than boiling. Rain water was given
at the same time, and in the same quantities as
the salt wafer. He does not know how strong a
solution of salt the cabbages would bear without
injury, but is fully satisfied that solution no
stronger than that which he used is decidedly ben
