imas seen throughout the country are
not so much the result of in-and-in breed
ing as carelessness and want Of proper at.
tention-mingling promiscuous stream:
of blood-"good, bad, or Indifferent" re
gardlsss of consequences. BY such
practice defects have become heridtary
and deterioration and decay viii naturally
follow. Careful selections, judicious
crossing, with good care and attention, are
the main requisites OF success.
FALL MtEAGEMENT OF SHEEP.
Intimately connected with the i'm
provement of flock is good keeping. II
is impossible to raise animals with all the
fine qualities Of the breed developed to
perfection without plenty Of food suited to
their taste and habits. Sheep are fond
Of frequent change, and desire a variety
of food. Bone and muscle, flesh and fat,
wool and oil are sustained and increased
by the assimilation of different ingredi-
ents by the digestive organs, or a full sup
ply Of these elements of which they are
composed. If a requisite proportion Of
these are not obtained some part of the
system must languish and fail. BY long
continued stinting the size Of any breed
becomes reduced aud the constitution i'm
paired and broken. The increase Of
such Aocks will deteriorate in form and
strength. Between shay and grass is a
very trying season for sheep. They de-
light to get upon the bare ground as soon
as they can and keep upon it as long as
possible, but by neglect and exposure to
storms often lose an amount Of flesh which
they are not able to regain for months
A. the feed becomes short and frost-bit-
ten, farmers generally lee them range the
farm at pleasure, and pick up what de-
caying substances they can find, thinking
to practice economy by saving hay. But

CROSSING.

Cross breeds may be bred towards pu-
rity of blood, and attain an acknowledged
standard Of excellence, almost equallng
pure breeds, by using bucks still better
and better in some respects, 20 each sue
ceeding generation aud such only should
ever be used. Breeding from very close
afIinites should be avoided for the very
good reason that better selections can
generally be made from different focks.
Youatt says: Mountaineering has
many advantages to a certain extent. 1t
may be pursued until the excellent form
and quality Of the breed is established"
If this be true, why cannot the excellent
form and quality Of the breed" be sus-
tained, or even improved by the same
method The superior aocks of Colling,
Bakewell and Barford, resulted from
close breeding through long series Of
years. But it is believed that this prac-
tice, except in very skillful hands, tends
to deformity, reduction in size, and gene
raj debility. The system requires much
practice, skill and discrimination to be

The successful raising of a fine 10. of

The papers contain series OF Ordecs from
Gen. Pope, addressed TO the Army of Viz

and giving receipt therefor, to be paid when

GENERAL STEVENS FORCES ADDED 70 THE
ARMY OF THE POTOMAC.

The National Iatelligencer learns with
much qualification of the arrival 10 Halnp
ton Roads o. another body OF effective
troops. being the division of General Ste
vens, from South Carolina, and intended
doubtless to reinforce the army operating
against Richmond. This division, which,
after its long service in South Carolina,
cannot be presumed to be very strong in
numbers, arrived in Hampton Roads Oh
Tuesday OF last week, Oh board the steamers
Vanderbilt, Mississippi, and Ben Deford.
1t is said to consist in part OF the Seventy
ninth New York, Fiftieth Pennsylvania,
Eighth Michigan, Ninety.seventh Pennsyl
vania, Twenty-eighth Massachusetts, Sew
enth Connecticut, and OF two batteries of
artillery. All the sick and disabled men of
the command were left behind
The withdrawal of these troops from
South Carolina indicates that no offensive
movements against the enemy il that quarter
can be expected for some time, perhaps not
until Richmond has fallen.

The Cause of the Depletion of Our Army.

ing or absent. 1t is impossible to believe
that more than 10000 are dead, wounded
or sick. General Mcclellan expressed the
opinion to the President that more than half
of the 10000 absent soldiers are now well.
How they got away it is almost impossible
to tell. A fact, however, has just come to
light which will seem to elucidate the mat.
ter. A single member of Congress has
succeeded in getting furloughs and dis.
charges for three hundred soldiers during the
present session of Congress This is fact,
and it will show how the army has been de,
pleted, or at least one way in which its
numbers have been reduced. The friends of
soldiers-of regiments-have endeavored to
get of every soldier who was sick of the
service. Members of Congress desired to
be popular in their districts, and answered
every call upon them. Colonies of regi.
ments and generals of brigades had the same
desire--of popularity with their men, and
one and all have aided in this depicting pre-
cess, till the sum total OF absentees is
enormous.
The names OF the miserable de magogues
iu Congress Or in the army, who have been
guilty OF thus depicting Our army, when it is
in face OF the enemy, should be exposed TO
the indignation of the people.

Incidents Of Battle.

The HEADLEss HoRsEMAN.-Durirg the
first days battle, or rather skirmish, at Port
Republic, an incident occurred which shows
how quickly men who can bravely stand up
against Hurricanes of shot and shell, become
unnamed at the sight of unaccustomed
horror. A section of Robinson's Battery,
which had been placed in position to pro-
tect.the advance of our cavalry into town,
received the principal attention from three
batteries, or eighteen pieces, of the enemy's,
after these latter had shelled out the hand.

DEATH ON A PALE HoRsE.--A pale-faced

the second days fight at Port Republic,
was placed behind one Of the orderIies, when
the retreat was sounded, that be might be
carried from the field. 1t was evident that
he could. not live long, but be had face OF
almost sclassic cut, and rare brightness of
expression, and it was not in the heart of
those near TO leave him to the chances of
rebel mercy. So they placed him behind
an orderly, who rode white horse, and be
went oil the field with bis hands clasped
