The LEGISLATURE.

We publish to-day the message Of Gov Vance to
the Legislature now in session, with the accompa-
nying documents. These documents will be perused
with much interest by cur readers. The message
of the Governor, with the report of the Treasurer
will no doubt receive the cordial approval of the
people generally.
The two houses have appointed their committees
on financial and military affairs and WILL doubt
go actively to work as soon as these committees
make their reports The session will probably con-
sumo some ten or twelve days. The members are
naturally anxious to return to their homes but the
crisis is of very grave character and we have no
idea that they will slight neglect the public busi
ness on account of their own interest or conve-
nence.
In the Commons on Thursday, Mr.. Shepherd from
the joint committee on finance made report ac-
companied by " A bill in relation to the payment of
taxes, and to authorize the Public Treasurer and
other officers of the State to fund certain issues of
the Confederate Treasury notes in the seven per
cent. bonds of the government" We learn that the
committee were unanimous in their report The
bill provides for an immediate collection of the
taxes in any or all the issues of the Confederate
gouernment and such notes as cease to be fundable
in per cents after the first of August are to
be funded by the Treasurer by that time. In order
to facilitate the collection and funding of these notes.
the Treasurer is authOrz ID to appoint agent at
Asheville and such other points he may deem ad-
vsable. The bill passed its three readings in the
Commons on Thursday, and was ordered to be en-
crossed and sent to the Senate.
North Carolina is determined to stand in good
faith by the currency, whatever the Confederate
government or Virginia may have done. Holders
of these old issues need entertain no fears hereafter
that they will not be as good as the recent issues
Remember that there is no difference in this State
between the values of the various issues

We are glad to learn, from the Wilmington Jour-

hope that the report that Capt. Houston, of Dup
lin, killed in Of the recent cavalry engage
ments is unfounded. We concur with the Journal
that the death of Capt Houston would, indeed be
great loss to his friends and to the country The
last Petersburg Express contains report that Cap
tain Houston and large portion of his command
were taken prisoners. The same report includes
Capt. P. G. Evans, of the 63d, who it is said was
wounded and also taken prisoner.

We learn that about one hundred negroes belong

detained at Wilmington, having been there since
April last The impression is that some of these
negroes are employed otherwise than on fOrtifca-

situation in this respect with Rockingham. The
labor of these slaves has been greatly needed the

Salt is essential to man and beast. 1t may not
hejustly censurable to speculate in whiskey, to-
bacco, snuff, "dried apples" and the like, but
speculation in salt ought not to be tolerated. We
learn that one hundred sacks of salt in the hands
of speculator in of the Counties of this State,
was recently seized by the government We re-
cord this seizure with much satisfaction. We trust
this speculator may have just as good luck in the
future in his salt speculations. If it be true that
he was an original secessionist, and that he ought
to be now in the ranks with musket on his
shoulder, the seizure of his salt will give additional
satisfaction to the public.

THE CALIFORNIAN
Facts About Cows.

To prevent a COW holding her milk fill a
sack with meal, and place it across the back.
This will relax the muscles, and the animal
is obliged to yield.
Some inquire "why their cows give so
little and inferior milk" Perhaps, they are
inferior cows, ill.treated, i-fed, and exposed.
When MIXED. they are first treated to the
application of the huge fist and boot, accom-
panied with the shout OF some clumsy farm
hand. The cows dread, instead of greet, the
appearance of the rough fellow, and hold
their milk from fear. One and the same
person should perform the act of milking,
AMI that person should be gentle girl,' and
as all country girls have an amiable DISPOSE
ton, the cows become attached to the pretty
dairy-maid, are kindly treated, and welcome
her coming. Then your cows are regularly,
properly, and clearly MIXED, and you will
get the last milk from the undder, which is
of more consequence than is generally sup
posed.
Farmers are aware that the first milk is
the poorest, and becomes richer till the last
DRAWINGS or strippings; that, if any milk
is allowed to remain in the undder after
milking, you must expect less quantity at
the next milking; that, if the act of milking
is performed irregularly and careessly, the
milk will become inferior and diminish in
quantity.
In careful experiment by filling two
cans, one with the first milkings, the other
with the last dregs or strippings of the I'D
der, ii was found that the quantity of cream
obtained from the strippings exceeded that
from the first milkings eighteen to ten, and,
in particular cases, much more.
In wnterng stock. steamed food is the
most satisfactory. One reason in its favor
is, the animal will drink less cold water,
which is very desirable in winter; for when
you reduce the temperature of the body by
cold water, you prevent the secretions Of
milk. And the supply Of steamed food
prevents the animals filling themselves with
ice water Another advantage is, an in
crease of about one-fourth of milk daily in
favor of properly steamed food and protec-
ton from cold
A we'll man that will make his wife or daugh-
tiers do the milking as regular work. is brute
and no wonder the cows wont :" give down " when
such an one milks them. Let all such men cul-
tlvate little humanity in the family and they
wont have half as much trouble in the barn
yard.-ED.]
