Sheep and /" ool.

MesSrs, Editors AS there has been,
for the last year, much experiment upon
the subject of sheep and wool growing,
| wish to say few words in regard to
what my sheep have done, and then let
every intelligent farmer Judge if sheep
and wool growing do not pay as we'll or
better than other branches of farming,
In the fall of 1860, brought from
Vermont "a full blooded Spanish Merino
sheep, the best | could get from some
Of the finest focks. Since then / have
purchased from Vermont 26 more, MAX
ing 100 in all. From that flock and
their increase, l have sold bucks to the
amount of 1922, ewes to the amount of
$278, and wool to the amount of 1884,
making in all, $1434, and I have yet on
hand my this years clip of wool, 924,
lbs, and 1873 sheep of the best part of
our flock, being, aside from what / have
sold, an increase of 23 sheep above the
original number, besides my last spring
lambs, AZ in all. Ny sheep are heavy
shearers, as facts will show. [ have a
buck lamb, IA years old, from which l
clipped 13 lbs. II OF. of leng, beautiful
wool. His weight is 73 lbs, being one
pound of wool to 81 pounds Of carcass.
Some persons object to the Spanish
Merino, on account of their small size,
but is it not better to get large feeces
small sheep, than to furnish from 25 to
so per cent. extra feed for large sheep,
and get no more wool? | also sold
buck lamb to one of my neighbors, Mr..
Brown, which sheared the same, 138
lbs, and l have several other labms
which sheared from 10 to liz lbs. each,
The 123 sheep, as [ said above, sheared
924 Tbs. of clean, washed wool, making
an average q lbs. per head, 100 of
which sheared 500 lbs; AZ ewes of the
100 went 78 lbs, and 29 of said ewes
averaged 81 lbs. per head. My sheep
were all washed as clean as could be in
clear running water, after being well
soaked in long rain, except some
eight or ten. My sheep have only oc-
cupied at most 80 acres of land, as fol-
lows: 25 acres for pasture, 10 for hay,
and 4 to raise their grain. Now, broth
er farmers, what branch of agriculture
pays better than this?

Some time ago, on the Sabbath day.
we wended our way to one Of our churches,
and instead Of sermon, heard an ad-
dress upon some missionary or other
benevolept subject After the address
was concluded, two brethren were sent
around with the baskets for contribu-
tions-Parson L., who was one of
the basket bearers, taking the side upon.
which we sat, Immediately in our front,
and upon the next seat, negligently re
clined our friend Bill H, a gentle
man of infinite humor, and full of dry
jokes, Parson E extended the bas-
ket, and Bill slowly shook his head.
"Come, William, give us something, .

THE PARTY OF FREE SPEEcH."-The chief
organs of the republican party in this city-the
party which obtained power on the pretext that
one of its cardinal dogmas was the right Of
"free speech"-have so ignored the distinctive
principle of which they claimed monopoly in
1860 that they pass by without word Of COM
ment the outrageous order of Gen. Schenck
suppressing in his department three New York
papers and two Western journals, and prohib-
iting the Baltimore and other local papers
from making any extracts therefrom. The edi-
tors of these journals recently held meeting
at the Astcr House, in which they protested
against the right Of the government or Of the
generals of the army to interfere with the
legitimate business Of a newspaper. But now,
when another attempt is made to suppress
journals and abrdge the liberty Of the press,
these watchmen are like dumb dogs which can
not bark. Indeed, the Times yesterday again
attempted 10 defend the stupid course Of Burn
side. This Is not to be wondered at when the
recent tone Of that paper indicates the desire TO
establish monarchy or consolidated military
empire upon the ruins Of liberty and Of the
sovereignty and Independence Of the States.
But fortunately the ability IL not equal to the
will There 10 not leader in the radical rsvo.
lutionary party who has the capacity for such
an undertaking.

| WHAT WILL VALIANDIGHAM Do?-We learn
that vallandigham has run the blockade from
Wilmington, NJ c., to Nassau, whence it is
stated be will proceed to Canada. This is just
as we predicted. What will he do when he ar
rives in the British provincesy He will no
doubt take up his abode in Chatham. opposite
Detroit, where a ferry connects the two cities
From Detroit 10 Dayton, Ohio, there ia railroad
communication, and the distance is short. Ii he
does not think 1t prudent to return just now he
can easily keep up communication with the
democracy of the State, and issue telling ad-
dresses, which will be published in the news
papers. If he should return we think il very
questionable If he would be further interfered
with by burnside, as long as he kept within the
limits Of the law. Certain it is that If be should
be elected Governor of Ohio, as it is highly
probable he will be, he will boldly GROSS the
frontier at once; and to NEEDLE with him after
that would be out of the question. Thus does
the foolish policy pursued by the influence of
Stanton and Chase and the satanic Committee
on the Conduct Of the War react to the preju-
dice of the government and the destruction Of
what remained Of is popularity. r-go
It has been suggested that Vailandigham will
GROSS the Canadian frontier into the State Of
New York, and remain here as his safest posi-
ton, under thsprofsction Of Governor Seymour,
until his State calls him to administer It's gov
eminent; and there can be no doubt that he
would feel more at home In the Empire City
than be would be In little Canadian village;
and we feel assured that Governor Seymour
would not permit him 10 be arrested here con-
trary to law. But, as the democratic candidate
for the Governorship Of Ohio could render more
aid towards his own election by posting himself
on the frontier Of the State than by remaining in
New York, he will probably be found at Chat
ham, Niagara Falls, or somewhere on the north
ern shore of Lake Erie, till next October, where
he will do infinitely more damage to the admin
istration and its candidate than If he were per-
mitted to return unmolested to his home in
Ohio So much for the vain attempt to violate
with impunity the prohibition Of the constitu-
ton against the abridging of the liberty of
speech.

UNION LEAGUES OF BALTIMORE IN THE FIELD
We notice that the members Of tho Union
Leagues at Baltimore do something besides
talk and intrigue for Presidential candidates.
When the alarm was sounded q few days since
of the invasion Of their State they turned out
in body, ready to meet the enemy. They are
reported as having force Of some eighteen
thousand. They have enrolled themselves in
the military service, received their arms and
equipments, and are prepared to protect their
city against all enemies, and present equally as
bold front to the army Of Lee or the seces-
sionists in their own midst. Will not our New
York League men follow their example, and
stop their quarrelling over Presidential aspi-
rants for short time, shoulder their mus kets
and march to the defence of Pennsy vania
They will have plenty of time to fight over
candidates for the Presidency after they have
aided in driving che rebels from tho soil Of the
Keystone State. ttf ia tlasiiI

AN IxPRovrsED PRrvATEER AT One or THE
PASSES OF THE MIssissrPr.-By our New Or
leans correspondence, published yesterday, IL
appears that ting steamer, named the Boston,
while towing bark over the bar at Pass-a-POu-
ire, was boarded by small boat containing
number Of men, and captured. They were
merely armed with pistols. and had rowed In
an open boat from Mobile, lying in wait at the
pass several days TIL they got an opportunity.
They took her 70 Mobile. Thesame or similar
party captured the Fox short time before, at
the pass, under similar circumstances Yet no
heed was taken till the Boston fell into the
trap and then great fuss was made BY send
ing the Holyoke in pursuit when too late. Afser
leaving the pass the Boston captured the bari
Lenox, bound TO New Orleans with cargo 81
MERCHANDISE, and set fire to her. The day fol.
lowing she destroyed the bark Texana, thirty
Eve miles distant from the pass. There was re.
port from Ballze that she had also destroyed an.
other bark and transport steamer. Thus by a
daring exploit Of the rebels, and by the care
lessnese Of the Navy Department in not guard
ing the entrance 10 the pass, this privateer has
been permitted to do thriving business, as the
Fox did before her. When will the Rip Van
Wrinkle Of The Department awake TO sense Of
his responsibility and TO the real condition OF
things around htmf
