Pure Water for Stock.

A good draught OF good water,
is, probably, as refreshing to
beasts as it is to people. But,
in the month of August, nearly
ali domestic animals suffer far
more than we imagine, for want
of good water. Sheep will thrive
far better if they can have access
to pure water. Teams will en-
dure the heat far better if they
can have a plenty Of clean pure
water; and if mich cows must
drink stagnant water wherever
they can find it, how is it pos
sible for them to give their usual
flow of good milk. 1t is imprac-
iicable for them to do 1T.
Some people allow water to
stand in troughs, day after day,
many times compel their animals
to drink it all up. Did such PEG
pie ever drink water from an ola
dirty slop pail, after it had been
allowed to stand in the sunshine
for two or three days? Let them
try the experiment of drinking
such water, and wait the result;
and they will be prepared to ex
press a correct opinion, whether
or not such water is as good for
stock, in the sultry days of Au-
gust, as pure cold water would be.
Water troughs and water tanks
should be cleaned frequently, ou-
ring the hot days of August, and
fresh water pumped in to them
several times during the day.
Milk cows require a vast guam
tity of pure water in hot weather,
in order to produce their usual
flow of good milk.

The Enl of the M Clellan
Plans.

The Withdrawal of McClel-
lan's army from the Peninsula
comedies the disastrous military
mistake of the plan OF marching
10 Richmond by that route. The
general anticipation of the pub
lie when this route was chosen
have been fatally fulfilled 1t
might as well be said that Napol-
cons invasion of Russia failed
for want OF re-enforcements, as
TO repeat this s~enseless cry in this
case The needed and available
force was part of the original
plan. The attempt had over Tor
w thousand more troops than the
original plan contemplated. But
on the defensive plan oflnvaslon,
it would have failed all the same
with twice the number. The ar
my of the whole country might
have been sucked into this horri-
BILE maelstrom. Successful IN
vasions are impossible without
prompt advances. The General
who gives three months warning
OF his approach, and sits down
to fortify at every show of re-
slstance, until the enemy..haS time
to draft and organize troops from
a population of eight millions,
will always be outnumbered, and
must inevitably fail.
The terrible sacrifices of this
failure, in brave, disciplined men,
in money, and in delay which
has given a year to the establish
ment of the Southern Coniedera-
cy, have been suffered that a Gen
eral who had not the confidence

as it was expressed. The exist
ence of the nation has been stalk

sacrifices which the Admin stra-
ton is calling upon the people to
MAKE to retrieve this disaster, de-
mand that it shall relieve the ar
my fromthe incompetency which
has destroyed a great army, and
periled the cause. The Govern
ment which lays its strong hand
on the lives Of the loyal people
and devotes them to the salvation
of the nation, should be equally
stern in cutting off the military
incapacity in every quarter which
wastes their blood to no purpose.

The Contrabands at Washington.

Now that the weather is growing cool, the
question naturally arises what is To become of the
numerous contrabands in Washington and vicn-
ty this winter? Will the poor wretches be per-
mitted to starye or freeze to death, or will the
Government undertake to support and provide
for them? Their present condition, even be-
fore cold weather has set in is miserable and
abecT in the extreme. What 1t is likely to be
couple of months hence, it is not difficult to i'm
agine Hundreds of the contrabands here have
had already quite enough of liberty and Abo
lition philanthropy. They would gladly return
now to their masters and mstres>es but they
have no power TO do so, and indeed are not
permitted any opportunity to carry such desires
into effect.

AsHINGToN, Nov. D.
The great conservative gains in the State cleo
tons just held have created a profound impress
sion here and the radicals are very, very blue
1t is apprehended by them that the President will
hereafter pay less heed than ever to their coun-
sells, and that the measures they have been urg-
ing upon the Administration. and which they
hoped by the coming Congress TO carry through,
will be negatived. Not only that; it is feared
by them that the President will fail to issue the
emancipation proclamation he promised OH the
first of January A significant article in the
National IRtetiigeRcer supposed to represent the
views OF leading member of the Cabinet is
taken by them TO indicate a discussion OF this
very point in Cabinet councils Should the Pres
ident insist upon hereafter pursuing conserva-
tive course it is deemed not improbable that a
recast of the Cabinet will be made, and that four
or five of the well known radical members will
retire. IL is now deemed certain here that the
next House will be opposition Political specu
lators are already casting about for Democratic
candidate for Speaker. Among the different per-
sons named is ex Mayor Wood, of your city.
who, being familiar with the rules of the House
and representing the heavy Democratic vote of
the metropolis, would, it is supposed be entitled
to the first offer of the Speakers chair Specu-
lation is also rite as to who will replace Preston
King in the Senate. providing the Democratic
majority IN the Legislature is secured.
1t is thought here that the choice will fall on
John Van Buren,, though there are many who
hope that Charles O'Connor may represent the
great StateDf New York in the trying crisis the
country is now passing through. Men of the
stamp of Charles Conner are very much need
ed in the councils of the nation. The almost
certain re election OF Sumner from Massachu-
sets, snd Lovejoy. of Illinois, is not regarded
with favor even by the radicals in this city, as
they will do more hurt than benefit to their party.
In addition to this gossip. all agree that the re-
suit will be to inluse life and energy into the
dormant parts OF the Administration. Prominent
Republicans openly rejoice at this tremendous
rebuke 10 the imbecile management of public
affairs, while but few radicals-those of the Tri

causes of their defeat and generally place all

The shinpIaster Party.

We take the following from the New York
World:
The farmer who sells wheat, eggs, poultry and
vegetables, and purchases with the proceeds half

what mr. douglas Thought.

The position of Mr.. DOUGLAS, before his
death, in regard to this Administration, has been
greatly misunderstood or perverted by the Repub
licans for the most unworthy party purposes.
STEPHEN 4. DOUGLAS never had the most distant
idea of encouraging this war for anything less
than the grand object of putting down the rebel
lion by force Of arms, and then restoring the
Union as it was before the rebellion broke out.
He was utterly opposed to every unconstitutional
and violent measure which looked to the destruc
ton of the State Governments, or an interior
ence with their established institutions. He was,
indeed, uniformly opposed to the declared doc
trines of the Republican party. In his speech
before the Illinois Legislature, delivered a few
days before his death, he made the following
declaration:
have no apprehension that any man in Hi
nois, OF beyond the limits of our beloved State.
will msconstrue misunderstood my motives,
so far as any of the partisan questions are con-
cerned | stand in equal, eternal and undying
opposition to the Republicans and Secessionsts.
This sentiment was no doubt the one that gov
erned him in his support OF the war. He con
scented to arm the country to put down the
bellon, not to overtuIn State institutions nor the
individual liberty of the citizen. Those who pre-
tended to be disciples of DOUGLAS in the late
canvass. and yet advocated the ferocious and
ultra measures of the Republicans, departed from
the faith of that great Apostle OF Democracy.
They have their reward in the result of the cleo
ton. Let them repent of their political sins and
transgress no more.

Assa,Iing the Administration

A statement recently appeared in the New
York Independent, Henry WARD BEEcHKRs pa
per, to the effect that GoverRor MORTON, of lndi-
ana, shortly before the election in that State pri
vately informed the President that he expected
Democratic victory at the polls. He was asked
the reason for such a change in popular feeling.
and replied promptly, the Independent says, as
follows:
They believe that the Administration has
grossly mismanaged the war. They think that
irresolutiOn imbecility and dishonesty have char
acterized its management; and whether the fact
be so or not, they believe it; and under such cir
cnmstances it will be impossible to carry the State
for the Administration.
We suppose the independents statement is
correct, for it is religious paper, and therefore
not expected to lie, but the impression here is
that His Excellency did not expect Democratic
victory in Indiana. His ex-Excellency ex-Gov-
ernor WRIGHT was confident up to the day OF cleo
lion that Indiana would go Republican, and he
even wrote to Washington day or two before
the election that Republican victory might be
expected beyond doubt The result came upon
him, Governor MORToN. Secretary SMITH and
company as unexpectedly as a clap of thunder
from clear sky. If the Governor made the
statement to the President. as reported by the
Iadepeadent, it must have been for the purpose
of bullying him into some scheme he had in
view or some measure he wished adopted
