George Francis Train, the high pressure

discussion with a secessionist in London. Mr..
Train wound up his final speech, one night,
as follows "The secessionist made one state

rectify. This is the same old brag that one
southerner is equal to three or four Yankees,
and said that he himself was good any time

he has done intellectually" cloud and con-
tinued cheers and laughter.) The challen-

Mr.. Trains proposition, however, was not
accepted; aud, during the excitement created
by the novel offer, the question was adjourned

From Washington.
Washington March 9!

Washington March 25.
The commission appointed by Gen. Wool
to inquire into the condition of vagrants or
contrabands say in their official report that
they started with the general proposition
that the military power has not only the
right, but 1t is among its highest duties to
avail itself of any and all means within its
control to perfect its discipline, render its
position secure or make il effective for an
advance against an enemy, and for these
ends it has the right to compel service or use
from anything animate or inanimate which
a military necessity may demand. At the
same time they consider that necessity is the
only proper measure of the extent to which
such power can be exercised.
The commission state that a considerable
amount of clothing had been sent by chari-
table persons which had been distributed
among the contrabands, while with the funds
derived from their labor the quarter master
has issued clothing up to March lst TO the
amount of 835 dollars.
For the five months ending with the LIST of
January rations were drawn to the extent
of 3S3 per day, which we're issued to about
six hundred and fifty women and children
and old and infrm men. .. -
The number of contrabands is given as
1903, thus distributed: at Fortress Monroe,
691 at Camp Hamilton 743; al Camp But
Ter and Newport News IA.
Some Of the contrabands are EMPLOYED
trading and oystering, and about enc hum
dred by officers and suffers.
Some have accompanied as servants Off
GERS going South while others have uncere-
moniously disappeared
Little inclination is manifested 10 90 North.
Comparatively few contrabands now come
to our camps. The Navy is decidedly pop
ular with them, as therein they are treated
as boys, and receive ten dollars per month
| The Commission point out various abuses
| and suggest remedies.
| 1t further appears from the report that
Gen. Wool has issued an order that hereafter
all wages earned by them will be paid to the
contrabands for their own use and support
under such regulations as may be deemed
proper.

DEATH OF HENRY NJ. CHASE. - The
many friends of Mr. Henry M. Chase in this
vicinity will read with painful regret the in
tellgence Of his death which appears among
our telcgraphic dispatches this morning. Mr..
Chase was telegraphic operator at Aspin-
wall, and died at that place on the 18th inst
He came to this place, with his father, from
Mortified, Vt, about twelve years ago, and
was clerk in the Drug Store of Pond &
Morse for about two years, and afterwards
became employed in the telegraphic office at
this place. About seven years since he went
to California, where he remained, if we rec
ollect Alright, but short time and then re-
turned as far as Aspinwall, where be engaged
as telegrahic operator for the Railroad Com
pany. He returned to this place, and was
marri ID to sister of Mrs. Newman Weeks,
about two years since, returning soon after
ward, with his wife, to Aspinwall.
Mr.. Chase has favored us formerly with
much interesting correspondence which has
duly appeared in the columns of the Weekly
Herald. He was young man of more than
ordinary intelligence and was much respec-
ted for his moral worth aud his goodness of
heart. HIS age, we believe, was about 2s
years.

wool growers adopt some other line OF farm
ing the better. But the statement is all non.
sense. An intelligent gentleman from Illi-
nois assures me that he can grow wool on the
prairies Of that State as cheaply per pound
as they can grow cotton at the South-that
is, for eight or ten cents a pound. Years
ago one of your Vermont wool growers as
sumed that all over twenty five cents pound
on wool was clear profit; and this at time
when fine wooled sheep cost much more than
they do now, and when their management
was not half as we'll understood,
You are doubtless aware that the question,
"ls Farming profitable ?" has of late been
largely discussed in the agricultural papers.
Some writers undertake to show that almost
all kinds of farm produce costs more than it

trine. | believe that almost every kind OF
farming interest, if pursued with proper
economy, judgment and sagscity, will pay in
the end. When see farmer trying to show
by figures that he can purchase his corn, OIL
any other farming product, cheaper than he
can produce it, the influence is irresistible tc
my mind that the sheriff will attempt to make
his acquaintance at no very remote day. The
truth is, there are twenty failures in othel
kinds of business where there is one in farm
ing; and this of itself is a sufficient answer
to the question whether farming is profitable
