BITTER REGRETS. Among the correspon-

izen of Southern State to his wife, who was
sojournng at distance from home The
writer of the letter had just returned from a
visit of week or two at Richmond, and was
writing his wife what he saw there. The bit
terness with which be condemns the rebellion
and bewails the misery and desolation of his
once happy and prosperous section Of the
Union, is poured out with all the fervor of
sincerity, and we doubt not that he expresses
the feelings and hopes of thousands of others.

4Lh Weaken the rebel strength in all posi-
bic ways; take away their sources of subsist-

4 Singular Quarrel.

In one Of the suburban streets Of Boston a
gentleman of enterprise and wealth recently
erected a magnificent palace, of a grand exte7
rior and internal adornments rarely edualed,
with many features to be proud OF, and among
the rest a cupoa which commanded a very
fine and extensive view Adjoining his estate
was lot belonging to another wealtf3 and
enterprising citizen, portion of which natu-
rally belonged to that on which the house of
the slightly cupola stood. One of the parties
was anxious to buy, and the other was desir-
Gus to sell, but they could not come to terms
and each thought the other little obstinate.
Finally, the one who had the vacant lot put
an end to all prospects Of trade by comnen-
cling the erection of massive edifce, which is
now completed, and stands two stories CHER
than the adjoining one. completely shutting
off the view from the cupola on the most de-
sirabiG side. The owner of the rivaled edifce
was exceedingly wroth when he discovered
what his neighbor was up to- but there was
no remedy, and clay low until the structure
was completed, inside and out. Now he
has made a contract with parties TO move his
house a couple of feet or so toward the front
street. The operation is to cost him the mod
crate little sum of $1,000, and will leave the
adjoining building in a bad predicament in
front, as 20 the view, and in the rear by the re-
moval Of support from portion Of the ad-
joining wall, which is thus Unexpectedly left
standing alone. This is the way the matter
stands now, and should the removal take place
as contemplated, it is uncertain which party
will b ave the hest of it.

TRUE AND ELOQUENT WoRDs FROM JUDGE
RANNEY.-The following remarks of Judge
Ranney at a recent meeting in Chiicothe,
should be read by every man in Ohio:
Whether we voted for the present Admin
istration or not, we are equally interested in
preserving the Government. Administrations
are but for a day. Thank God, this country is
ours We had better expend all we have in
preserving it, and leave it to our children than
to leave them anything else.
We are under obligations as citizens to bear
arms in defense of the Government, and to do
SO voluntarily. Should we wait to be forced
into the field we would not be doing our du-
! ty; and the moral effect of popular support
would be lost to the Government. This call is
addressed to us ALI do not look around you for
poor man who may be obliged to go. Let
him who is in a situation to enlist step forth
and say to others, come. 1t is great matter
with us to know that we are in the right
"Thrice armed is he who hath his quarrel just.
| Without discussing the past, say to You that
this rebellion was produced by ambitious mer
in the South without reason or excuse. We
do not deny the right of revolution, but those
twho undertake such movements can be justi
fled only by such reasons as our fathers had
such as are recorded by Jefferson in the Dec
laraton of Independence. But there is NJ
shadow of excuse for this ntrocious attempt o

PastariGE.

1t is poor economy to feed pastures
very close. They will yield much.
more, if the grass has a fair start,
than if fed down so low that it can
scarcely grow. Cattle which pick
field to the bone, nearly always run
largely to bone. John johnson sup
poses a. case, founded on repeated oh.
aervation, in illustration of this TRUTH,
He says: GA. has q field which he
thinks Will keep twenty cattle, and
he puts them into it, b. has a field
of the same size end quality, buthR
puts only ten cattle into it. Now it
will almost always be found that in

rate pasture should gain four hundred
pounds each, and it is doubtful if-the
twenty would have gained two hun

make extra beef, and bring an OK
ira price, while the twentg would
make only third-rate beef, bringing
little more per pound that when they
were turned into pasture. The ten
paved $25 each for their pasture, or
perhaps more. This I have often

confscate their quadrupeds and their bipeds,
their men servants and their maid servants,
their oxen. their horses, their nsses and all
that is theirs. IIo appealed to every man to
enlist in the Union armies who possibly could
