"Cow CoTToN."-A friend in Ten
uesee has sent US specimen of "cow
cotton" a novelty among manufactures,
uniting in its fabric both the animal and
vegetable Kingdoms, being a mixture,
half and halt, OF cotton and COW hair
1t makes cheaper and stronger fabric
than all cotton for common clothing. Its
gray color, its coarse grain, its tough
fibre, gave it a little of the old.time home
spun look, when men wore linsey-wool-
sey. The mode OF manufacture is by
the hand-carding, as practised by our
mothers and grandmothers. IF the pure
southern stuff that is fed to the Manches-
ter mill should utterly fail, the English
sristocracy may be glad to learn that
their backs need not go bare, but can be
clothed with COW cotton.--Iadepsndept.

FEED AND CARE OF CoLTs.--A wri-
ter in the Germantown Telegraph gives
the following directions
"Wean the colt at FIVE or six months
old, first teaching him while sucking the
mare TO eat oats. When taken from the
dam confne the colt closely, and put
them out of hearing of each other for one
week. During the first winter feed daily
Two quarts Of oats, and all the hay the
colt will eat. This with good warm shell
ter will keep him growing and imprOv-
ing. Don't turn out in spring till the
weather is settled and warm, and full
bite Of grass. The first year makes or
ruins the colt. 1t is the most important
of his life. Keep him fat the first year,
whatever you do afterwards, for this year
decides whether he is to be full grown
horse or a miserable pony-no after care
can atone for neglect during the first 2
months. Good pasture (mountain pos
sible) the next season, and plenty of
hay the next winter, with a quart of
grain if convenient, will bring you fine

We are confined in Charleston jail.


We are confined ia Charleston jail.
"Etcrnal spirit of the chainess mind
Brightest in dungeons, Liberty thou art
For there thy habitation is the heart
The heart which love ofthee alone can bind.
And when thy sons to fetters arc consigned ;
To fetters and the damp vaults dayless gloom
Their country conquers with their martyr
dom,
And Freedoms form finds wings in every
wind"
We arrived at Charleston on the NOR
ming ofthe gath, and were at once es-
corted to the Jail. The city was quiet,
as it was but o'clock in the morning,
and the time of our arrival had purpose
ly been kept secret.
The Jail is an immense stone and
brick structure, with a very strong tow
er. The cells were small, damp and
filthy. The three cells in which we were
all confined, would not make a decent
sized stable for four horses. There was
no furniture, beds or blankets-no cook
ing utensils, plates or cups. Our rations
were maggoty bacon and mus.y bread /;
the quality was vile and the quantity
stingy. We lay down on the damp floor
with feelings better imagined than de-
scribed. There was little sleep that first
night. We had no candles, and the
moon that shone in through the bars lent
a ghastly hue to every face, and wrought
the gloom which we had felt before,
change into something that cannot be
named. 1t was wild, reckless, rush
ing out Of every fantastic notion. The
songs, dances, speeches and conversa-
tions sounded almost unearthly. Every
one seemed to try to be gayest, to laugh
loudest and longest, and yet there was
more of insanity in the whole affair than
is found in many madhouses.
The next morning the walls were COW
cred with Union Devices snatches of
songs, sentiments and quotations, written
with charcoal, and over all splendid
eagle grasping in his talons Rebellion,
and holding auttering from his beak =
"The Union as it was, or death to all."-
