ELKTON. JANUARY IL. 1869.
A Presbyterian Minister on The
War.

We invite the attention of our readers
to the following extracts which we make
from an able article by Rev. Robert J.
Breckenridge. This eminent Presby-
terian divine, who is distinguished
throughout the country for his intelli-
gcnce and picty, is an uncle of the traitor.
John q. Breckenridge, and his words
should possess more than ordinary
interest for every sincere member of the
religious denomination of which he is
such brilliant light, and for every
earnest believer in the doctrines of the
political organization of which bis nephew
was the chosen leader:
Whoever will look at the map of the
United States will observe that Louisi-
ana lies OH both sides OF the Mississippi
river, and that the States Of Arkansas
and Mississippi lie on the right and left
banks of this great sream-eight hun
bred miles of whose lower course is thus
controlled by these three States, united
ly inhabited by hardly as many viii e
people as inhabit the city of New York.
Observe then the country drained by
this river, and it's atluen's, commencing
with Missouri on the west bank, and
Kentucky on the east bank. There are
nine or ten powerful States-largc por-
tions Of three or four others-several
large Territories, in all as large as all
Europe, as fine as under the sun, already
holding many more people than all the
revolted ,ates-and destined to be one
of the most populous and powerful
regions of the earh. Does any one
suppose that these powerful States--this
great and energetic population-will
ever make peace that shall put the
lower course of this single and mighty
neutral outlet to the sea, in the hands
of foreign government far weaker than
themselves? If there is any such per-
son, he knows little of the past history
of mankind and will, perhaps, excuse
us for reminding him that the people of
Kentucky, before they were constituted
State, gave formal notice to the FEEDER
al Government, when General Washing
ton was President, that if the Uni ed
Safes did not acquire Louisiana, they
would themselves conquer it. The
mouths Of the Mississippi belong, by the
gift of God, to the inhabitants of is
great Valley. Nothing but irresistible
force can disinherit them,
Try ano her territorial aspect of the
case. There is bed of noun. aims Adult
ting on the lief, bank of the Ohio, which
covers all Western Virginia, and all
Eastern Kentucky, to the width, from
east to west, in those two Safes, Of three
or four hundred miles. These mountains
stretching enthusiastically, pass entire
ly through Tennessee-cover the back
parts of North Carolina and Georgia

Attention te the Feet.

If cold and dry, the feet should be soaked
in hot water for ten minutes every night, and
when wiped and dried, rub into them well,
ten or fifteen drops of sweet oil; do this
patiently with the hand, rubbing the OF. into
the soles OF the feet particularly,
On getting up in the morning, dip both
feet at once into water, as cold as the air Of
the room, half ankle deep, for a minute in
Summer; half minute or less In Winter,
rubbing one foot with the other, then wipe
dry, and if convenient, hold them to the tire,
rubbing them with the hand until perfectly
dry and warm in every part.
If the feet are damp and cold, attend only
to the morning wash,ngs, but always at night
remove the stockings, and hold the feet to
the fire, rubbing them with the hands for
fifteen minutes, and get Immediately iuto
bed.
Under any circumstances, as often as the
feet are cold enough to attract attention, draw
off the stockings, and hold them to the fire;
if the feet are much inclined to dampness,
put on a pair Of dry stockings, leave the
damp oncs before the fire to be ready for
aHOt1GT CIlaHhc-
Some PERSONS feet are more comfortable,
even in Winter, in cotton, others in wooden
stockings. Each must be guided by his own
feelings. Sometimes two pair Of thin Stock
ings keep the feet warmer, than one pair
which is thicker than both The thin pair
may be 81 same or Of different materials, and
that which is best next tho foot, should be
determ ncd by the feelings of the person.
Sometimes the feet arc rendered moro
comfortable by bastisg half an inch thickness
of curled hair on piece of thick cloth, slip
ping this into the stocking, with the hair next
the skin, to be removed at night, and placed
before the fire to be perfectly dried by morn
ing.
Persons who walk a great deal during tho
day, should. on coming home for the night,
remove their shoes and stockings, hold tho
feet to thu fire until perfectly dry; pnt on .
dry pair, and wear slippers for tho remainder
of the evening
Boots and CATERS keep the feet damp, cold
and uncean, by preventing the escape of that
insrnsible perspiration which is always escap-
ing from a healthy foot, and condensing 1t,

land are hardly cxcusable when thoy
punish insignificant men, when so many
of great distinction have been allowed to
escape, or are still unques;ioned. The
legality of particular modes of arrest,
the proper legal treatment af.er arrest,
and the whole doctrine about the writ of
haOtaS corpus are matters. no doubt,
of great Importance in their place. AS
for US, we are ready to stand by the
chief law officer of the Government, the
Attorney General of the United States,
who, as we unders; and the matter, has
given the explicit sanction of his high
professional standing, and that of his
great Office, to the course which the
President has taken. And we suppose
all loyal men will agree with us, that
if the American people can endure the
pretended violations Of law, which their
enemies say are daily perpctrated in the
arrest and detention of suspec ed, and
indie ed, Spies and Traitors-it is no
great thing to ask of those who declare
the Constitu' LION to be already nullity,
and all lawful government at an end,
that they will bear with composure
Irregularities which loyal men do not
complain of. And, perhaps, all earnest
patriots would agree, that, at the wors+,
the salvation of the country from the
reign of anarchy and the despotism of
traitors, is worth all the human laws and
constitutions in the world. We can
make governments for society is supreme
over them. But we have only this one
country. And it is audacious hypocrisy,
for those who are seeking alike the over
throw of our government, and the degra-
dation of our country-to revile US about
some pretended Irregular y, in our
attempt to subject them to punishment,
for their crimes against the existence of
society.

The Importance of Currying Animals.

1t is we'll known that every hair,
whether long or short, is covered with
numerous little barbs, like the barbs of
fshhooks, and, therefore, when number
of hairs are brought in contact with
each other, and moved back and forth,
they will work in among each other, and
often form mass so tangled-like the
name of colt, which our anccs ors, have
often taught us to believe were the
stirrups~f witches, which were accus-
toned to ride them in the dark nights
that it is difficult to disentangle them
The only means that cattle have of
scratching themselves many times is to
apply their tongues and when the hair
comes off, as it many time does, by the
handful, more or less Of it will adhere to
their tongues, and many times find its
way into their s.omachs and the recip-
rocating motion of the stomachs Of
animals which chew the cud would soon
form bunch of hair into pellet; and;
as more hair was taken into the stomach
from day to day, it would be very sure
to all collect in one mass. Now, when
an animal begins to shed its coat of hair
there always appears to be more.or less
irritation of the skin, and if the card or
currycomb is not used pretty freely the
the tongue must be applied ; and if an
animal is well curried every day, when
it is shedding its coat, it will be far less
liable to collect hair in its stomach
A ball of hair--being indigestible--in
the stomach would be very likely to
injure its energies so as to produce
disease, and eventually, premature death.

Three Score and Ten.

Old farmer John leans over the gate,
And gazing down the glen,
Seems with his lips to enulnerate
His three score years and ten.
"Three score years and ten,' says he.
9 1t seems i'll my heart it can scarcely be
SO much as three score ten;
But the old red spire peeps over the hill
And quiets the rising doubt;
And further away, the rickety mill,
With its loose arms Tapping about,
Is telling tale to the farmers heart
And | know by the tears that swell and
lis the tale of three score ten. start.
The mills is n tale Of the long ago,
When his tender years were few
When the click of the hopper down below,
His childish footsteps drew.
"Oh, those were joyous days says he,

SO much as three score ten
Through the tear that stands in his dim blue
lie sees the miler's face, eye,
And close by her father, timid and shy,
His beautiful daughter, Grace.
"Oh, that was happy day." says he,
" Yet it seems in my heart it can not be
SO much as three score ten
The neat church altar rises in view,
And he thinks of the day with pride,
When Grace, with her simple heart and true,
Was given him for his bride.
"TwO score years and ten, says he,
81 little dreamed that it could be
SO much as two score ten,
But the old red sp,rc peeps over the hill
Aud he drops a burning tear;
For it causes his aged heart to fill
With memories sad and drear.
