Hints about Harvesting Timothy.

Many farmers prefer timothy to
clover. Timothy alone may in some
cases be preferable to mixture of
this with clover and other forage
plants. At least, some farmers may
think it is; and if so they will like
to be informed how to keep it good
for a succession of years. We have
seen crops of timothy remaining
year after year, simple and pure, the
heads of about equal height, looking
more like clean wheat field than
like an ordinary grass crop. A far
mer in Essex county, Mass, tells us
that the time to cut timothy is when
the seed is formed and in the milk.
This is certainly late enough, we
think rather too late. He refers to
this time on account of the roots
being better able to stand the drOuth
He says he cuts it four inches from
the ground, as much timothy is kill
ed by moving too close. We think
there is something in this. AS tim
othy is dubious plant, it would
seem to require the reaction of some
length of stem to support the bulb.
The bulb, he says, perishes if you
cut the stem close to it. The same
has been observed by many others.
But while timothy is often destroy
ed the first year by close cutting, it
may be kept good for five or six
years, by leaving three or four
inches of stem above the bulb. The
farmer, therefore, who prefers pure
timothy to mixed grasses, and wish
es to retain it in bearing as long as
possible, should swing the scythe, or
gauge the mower accordingly.

Heaves in Horses.

Horses fed in part on carrots sell
dom suffer from heaves, they will be
found to have silky coat as well as
a loose hide, and enjoy far better
health than when hay and oats are
used. Three quarts of carrots and
three quarts of oats will sustain a
horse much better than six quarts of
oats. When the carrots form part
of the feed, all the oats will be di-
gested and assimilated; whereas,
when oats alone are fed the dung
will be found to contain whole oat
shells, undecomposed starch amount
ing to more than half the quantity
Of oats consumed.
The floor of every cutting box
should be ribbed or opened so as to
permit all dust to pass down before
the hay reaches the cutting knives.
Many horses are rendered asth-
matte by being fed on dusty hay,
and, consequently, every means cal
culable to remove the dust should
be restored to.

Gen. Logan on the Rebellion

General Logan, who has recently arrive al
Cairo from Vicksburg, talks as vigorously as
he fights, especially in reference to the neces-
sity of compelling every man to show his hand
clearly aud Enthusiastically, in the present strug-
gle. Every man" he says, should be compell-
ed either to take up arms against US or for us.
Then there would be no talk of peace here in
the North, no talk of resistance, no such men
as Vallandigham, no such towards as those
who support such men and say such things
As to Vallandighams assertion that he did
not meet man, woman or child in The South
who does not sustain the war, and who is not
determined to fight it out to the death or to
the bitter end, General Logan says:
"Vallandigham here simply lies. He tells
what is not true, and be knows it. VaIlandig-
bam, aside from the leading men-Jeff. Davis
Toombs and Stevens-did not, 1 venture to
say, speak with a dozen persons while taking
his involuntary trip through Dixie. Had be
done so his report would have been Of differ
ent color. The people who are fighting a
gainst this government-the poor whites COM
prising the rank and file of the rebellion-nine-
! tentbs of them do not know what they are
fighting for-do not know what they are fight
ing against. A majority of them never saw
the American flag in their lives until they saw
it march into Vickskburg 10 triumph They
do not know the Fourth of July, Or anything
else that is good. ..-..
But poor and ignorant as they are, let them
express their own free minds, and they will
almost to man, demand a speedy termination
of this war-would submit to almost anything
rather than fight one day longer as they have
been fighting. 1t is only by the force Of bay
oDets that their army is kept together. Ever
that cannot prevent their deserters from flock
ing into jackson by hundreds to take the oath
of allegiance or to join the Unioa ranks. And
L tell you what know when l say that it will
not be many days before the States of Missis
sppi and Tennessee will be knocking loudly
for readmission into the Union, which not long
since their puny efforts could quickly dissolve

1t is curious to see how much more anxious
some people are to find fault with the Govern
ment than the rebels. TO hear them talk, one
would imagine that "our wayward sisters"
were only indulging in little harmless escap-
ade, while the government was engaged in
grand conspiracy for the overthrow of our
liberties.

until the spring Of 1882. This Depart
ment was charged with the authority Of
granting passes or passports through the
lines Of the Government forces. ~
1t early became q question whether
foreign ministers residing in the United
States should be denied such passports. It
was thought sound and liberal policy
to leave them free to visit any part Of the
country to which they are accredited, so
long as there should be no ground to ques-
ton their good faith toward this Govern
ment. Ithas been uniformly avowed as the
course Of the Government. Accordingly, a
passport was granted in the month Of
April, 1861, to the minister resident here
of the republic Of Brennan. A like psss-
port was granted in August, 1861, to the
French Minister, attended by his ROYAL
Highness the Prince Napoleon Jerome, and
in April last a similar passport to the
French Minister. These passports were
granted at the request Of those distin-
guished persons respectively, and not on
any suggestion Of the Government or Sec
retary Of State. They severally Travelled
in private and unofficial character. They
bore no Communication, whether formal
VI AnAOAAudl1 feEDaA OF HElbJ6Qs IRON the
Government, or from the Secretary of
Stale to any Of these insurgents, and they
brought none from any such persons to the
Government or to the Secretary Of State.
Since the 4th Of March, 1861, no com
munication, direct or indirect, formal or
informal, has been held by this Govern
ment or by the Secretary Of State, with
the insurgents, or their aiders or abettOrs.
No passport has been granted to any
Foreign Minister to pass the military line
except by the Presidents direction, and
each of such Ministers who have received
such passports had, upon his return, wait
ed upon the President, as we'll as the Sec
retary Of State, and given them such an
account unasked, as he thought proper, and
also incidents of his journey. OF course
these statements are to be qualified so far
as to the facts relating to the communica-
ton, and in relation to the exchange Of
prisoners, and other military matters in
charge Of the War Department which may
affect them.

SPECIAL DTSPATG les,
FROM WASHINGTON.
The Bank Bill---Defeat of the
Canal Bill---The Paper Duty,
Another Chance for
Vallandigham,
To the Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.
The President, Seward and Weed were
in long consultation at the War Depart
ment to-day. Weed speaks of things as
looking gloomy for conservative interests.
It is stated that Gen. Phelps, of Ship
Island nOtOriety, has been appointed Major
General, and the commission dated back
to Outrank nearly all the Major Generals
now in the service.
Sherman's bank bill is less strong in the
Senate than was anticipated by its friends
Prominent Republicans, including Trum-
bull, Howard and Grimes, are against it.
The analysis of the vote on the Canal
Bill shows that twenty-five Northwestern,
and seventeen New England men voted
for the measure, while twenty-four North
western and only three New England men
voted against it. Missouri, Kansas, Ohio,
Illinois and Indiana are included in the
Northwestern column.
The figures at ihe War Department show
that we are now discherging from our ar
mics in the field disabled soldiers at the
rate of 1000 a week.
The Ways and Means Committee, at last,
have about agreed to report back the bill
for repeal of paper duty, either without
recommendation or adversely. Morrill, will
make an elaborate speech against. Colfax
has been making an effort to get the measure
hurried forward, and he and other friends
of the bill think if they once succeed in
getting it before the House, they can
passi it.
Secretary Stewards policy has lost US
the friendship of the Mexican Minister.
Mr.. COrwin would have come home in
the last steamer had he be en- well enough.
1t is thought he will soon come.
The newspaper publishers had prelim.
mary meeting tonight, and adjourned
over till tomorrow. The Cincinnati, Lou.
isville and Western Associated Press, and
Boston and New England press, are al.
ready represented.
1t is stated here that Gen. Sshenck viii
probably resign his seat in Congress
being unwilling to leave the army while
the war remains on hand. When he con
sented to run, it was expected the wal
would be over before Congress met. Should
he resign, it is feared that Vallandigham'
chances for the succession will again b
fair.
Private letters from Gen. Grant, re
ceived here tonight, announce that h,
has commenced digging still anOthe
canal, the last one having proved q fail
ure. He says he will take Vicksburg yet
but admits that it is a hard task.

The rebel Colonel Cushman arrested on
Friday at his residence in Ripley, Tennes-
see, was brought to Columbus yesterday
in irons. Cushman burned more cotton,
perhaps, than any other man among the
rebels and has acted throughout without
commission from the Confederate Govern
ment
Vicksburg letters say the brilliant
achievement Of the Queen Of the West in
running the gauntlet Of the rebel batteries
has had a most beneficial effect on the
spirits of our troops.
The Vicksburg correspondent Of the
Jackson Appeal says that it is possible
that Grant will make the canal success,
and suggests that Grand Gulf, Port Hud-
son and other points between Vieksburg
and Port Hudson be fortified.
The latest information shows that the
ram Queen Of the West did not damage
the steamer Vicksburg as first reported.
1t is supposed the width Of the latter's
guards prevented the bow Of the Queen
from reaching her hull.
Gen. Hurlburt at Memphis has issued
an order prohibiting the circulation ofthe

Tn " "ELEPHAET." ."-Y yesterday Jack
Adams, who was recently released from the
penitentiary, caused the arrest of William
Alexander, Calios the " Elephant, y on the
charge of shooting at him with intent to kill
The shooting occurred on Tuesday. The
q Elephant claims that Jack owes him
some borrowed money, which he refuses to
pay, hence the quarrel. Shooting man be-
cause he don't pay borrowed money is setting
a very bad example. If it was allowed, pis-
tol shots would be heard with little intermis-
sion, and the air would be continually heavy
with the grOans of the wounded and dying.
Alexander was bailed out by his attorney,
Prof. Collier, and the examination is to take
place on the 18th.
The friends of this modern Alexander, the
Great, are greatly panied to observe that
since the recent mauling he was favored with
by his Obliging neighbOr, Bartholomew
Sands, his towering mind has seemed to be
impaired. The gigantic intellect which has
commanded the admiration and homage
Of Canal street, seems struggling be-
meath cloud. In short, it is de-
clared that the Elephant ia getting
weak in the head! We don't wish to startIe
our readers or alarm them unnecessarily, but
from what we hear Of his symptoms, we fear
the story is but too true. Certainly the per
sistent application of sled-stake, in the
hands of sinewy man, over an unprotected
head, would have the effect to impair the
soundest and most comprehensive brain and
cloud, for a time at least, the brightest intel
Ieet. B. Sands will have much to answer for
to this community If Williams mental fac
uIties arc permanently impaired.
There are several reasons for believing that
the Elephant is gradually weakening in his
mental powers. He was observed to look
anziously around the watch-house last night
when brought in there. Wiseman asked him
what be was looking for. 4" am looking for
my head, p was his melancholy reply. Poor
fellow, he misses it. The other day he
burst into tears and exclaimed with much
emphasis, "James Buchanan is pure mind
ed and patriotic old cuss Z" Calling for pen
and ink be wrote at once to Sam. Melary to
send him the "Crisis" for six weeks or du-
ring the war. The Elephant is far gone, we
fear.

NITROUS 0xYD, OR LAUGHING GAS, as
used in the army, is artificial air, resembling
that in which we live. Ozygin 9us is the
life giving principle Of air, constituting
little more than One-ffth of its bulk; the
balance being Nitrogen. The only differ
enee in air and Laughing Gas is, that the
Laughing Gas contains just double the
amount Of Oxygen that air does. The gas
purifes the blood much faster; hence its ef-
feets. Under its influence, we live day in
a minute, enjoy the pleasures of 4 year in an
hour. It affords safe bridge over which
We may pass from pain to pleasure, f,Om sor-
row to joy, from Earth to Heaven, for the
time being. A peculiar property of this Gas
is, that it leaves no bad effects even after eE-
travagant muscular exertion, not even a
sense of exhaustion or debility. The reader
will understand that the Laughing Gas is
not ChlOretorm or Ether, which are sometimes
given by quacks, and called Laughing Gas.
To the scholar, no chemical experiment
has half the interest, or produces the one
hundredth part the excitement; and to the
public it affords very exciting and pleasing
entertainment.
We notice that Dr.. J. II. Lille is giving
Laughing Gas entertainments in Eastern
cities.
