THREE HOURe ONLY TO TAKE ISLAND
No. lo.-The lively correspondent Of
the Chicago Tines, with the Mississippi
flotills, states that cit 10 expected that
80 soon a. the gunboats perfect their
rep.ir., and the information from other
sources, the lack Of which has contribu>
ted to the hardness Of operations here,
is received, active operations will be
commenced here on most grand and
terrible scale. Com. Foote is confident
that be can dislodge the enemy 10 three
hours when he shall bring oil bis guns
to bear upon them. He las no doubt
OF the result Of the contest. He shares
with the naval and military officers Of
the expedition the utmcst anxiety to
hear from the Southeast. How long we
must wait depends upon the movements
OF other divisions of the army Of the
West. It may be but day or two; it
may be = week or two"
It is to be hoped that those "three
hours " will turn up pretty soon.
GEN. BANKS has justified the highest
hopes of bis most enthusiastic admirers.
His victory At Winchester will occupy
place, 10 the history Of the war, BY the
side Of Pea Ridge and DonelsoD.-AI-
dany Journal.
The Journal misrepresents. General
Banks may be very good General,
and possibly might have won . victory
had he been in command at Winches-
ter, when the battle took place; but as
he was no nearer the battle ground than
Washington, it is hardly fsir to accord
to him the honors Of having achieved
the victory. Gen. Shields was the lead
ing spirit Of that contest, and General
Banks will not assume the honors that
the old veteran so nobly won.
Hon. Emerson Etheridge made q
etirring speech at Nashville, Tenn, on
the l4th Of March, from which the fol-
lowing sentences are extracted:
"Let me tell the people Of Tennessee
a plain truth. You have to live in the
Un,on-with your negroes if you soiH,
without them if you must. The Union
is worth more than all the Secessionists
and negroes in the world"
"Itather than see the Union severed,
l would to-day have slavery destroyed,
and the last slave liberated"
"Tho Government aoiN maintain its
authority. Will you re,urna ! am for
the war going on forever, until the re-.
belion is subducd."
IA benign Government offers pardon
to all that were misguided and deceived.
Ii you do not accept it, and return to
your allegiance, your every town will
be converted into an arsenal, and your
pastures into fields of blood"

rn...h,s on Herse.shoeinx.

We and in the Prairie Farmer the following
communication from the distinguished veteri-
nary surgeon, DR.. q. H. Dadd, who, we be.
Eeve, now resides at Chicago. The subject OF
Aorse-shoeing 10 nos half as well understood by
those following it as business as it ought 20
BE- We think DR.. Dadd assumes position in
regard 70 the form Of the shoe that. cannot be
Kain.ai and we therefore invite to IL the at
oenfion of all shoers.
An iron shoe affIed to a horses foot is one Of
the unavoidable evils Of domestication; yet,
when undsrstandingly applied, the addition of
an iron protection TO the horny substance of the
foot is not so great an evil rs some persons
One of the principal objects in applying a
shoe, is TO rotect the foot; next, must aim 10
preserve the natural action and tread of the foo.
With this object in view, the shoe should be
made cencdre on the ground service.
An un shod horse, or one in an aboriginal con-
diton, has a concave solar surface to the foot;
and wisely is IL 80 ordained; were it otherwise,
the animal would be unable TO secure foothold
when climbing emineRces or travelling over
level surfaces.
The action of concaye feet may be compared
90 that of the claws OF a cat, the nails on the
fingers and toes of man; the nails and toes are
the fulcrums; they grasp, as IL Were, the bodies
with which they come in contact, and thus they
secure fulerum Of resistance when travelling
or graspinS.
Now in order to preserve the natural, me chan
ical actions of the horn and sole, the ground
surface Of the shoe must correspond exactly
with the ground surface of the FOOT that is 10
say, the ground surface Of the shoe must be
heveled, cup fashion, its outer edge, being prom
inent, CORES ponds TO the lower and outer rim
Of The roof while the shoe being hollow, il
resembles the natural concasiIy OF the sole of
the loot.
Notwithstanding the various opinions which
now prevail. in regard 10 the general at OF
sho ing horses. think all will sooner cr later
confess that a shoe with concave surface next
the q ound, is the only proper one to apply.
No matter whatmay be the form OF the foot:
whe Their il be high or low heeled; contracted Z,
the heels. heightened shortened the
or, having ccncaye, or convex sole; il mat
tiers not, the ground surface Of the shoe must
be convex, -.-
In every other part Of the shoe alterations
and dew iations. from any given rule. or form,
are often needed, IN consequence VI the ever
varying form of the feot, and the condition OF
the same, both as regards health and disease:
hut the sole of the foot being concaye presents
a pattern for the ground surface of the shoe.
which the s'smith'' with all his skill, cannot
improve on, and if all such craftsmen We're to
follow this pattern more closely Than they do.
there would be fewer accidents in falling
and a less number Of lame horses.

A New Whipplrtree.

Many accidents occur from horses getting
frightened and running away. caused by the
whippletree being detached and droppin Lupon
the horses heels. An invention to obviate this
difficulty has been made, and model OF the
whipplerree. forwarded us by the inventor,
Jacob Muzzy, Of East Eddington, Me. The
whippletree is hollow, ana is strengthened bv
an iron fastened upon the under side, of the
same dimensions as the whipplctree. Through
the wood part a leather strap passes, playin q
strap the fastenings for the traces are firmly
placed. The whippletree is designed TO renal,

each end, and all noise or clatter is done away

Cut Off the Back Legs Of -your Chairs.

will tell you a secret worth knowing A
thousand things not worth half as much have
been patented and elevated into a business. 1t
Is this: If you cut off the back legs of your
chairs, so that the back part of the seat shall
be- two inches lower than the front part, il will
greatly relieve the fatigue of sitting, and keep
your spine in much better shape. The princi.
pal fatigue in sitting comes from your sliding
forward, and thus straining the ligainents and
muscles in the small CT the back. The expedi-
ency have advised will obviate this tendeh-
cy, and, as i have suggested, add greatly to
the comfort and healthfulness OF the sittin 2
posture. The 'front.' edge of a chair should not
be more than fifteen inches high for the aver
age man, nor more than fourteen for the aver
age woman The average chair is now seven
teen inches high, for all, which no amount of
slanfing In the seat can make comfortable
