EVANSVILLE, IND. THURSDAY MORNING,

Thus are we encouraged to write, not
that we would parade literary merit, for
we have none, but indicate that we are
| still jealous for the cause of humanity
and the country, and that the army is a
reading and thinking mass, not an inani-
mate machine, capable of none of the no
bier impulses of life. Yet action, the
very life Of soldering, is near at hand.
The hne weather we have been enioying
for the past two weeks, and the presence
OF the blue-bird and lark, caroling their
Joyous notes around our camp, assure
US that for the present, the season of rain
| and mud has past. And that verdant
spring with all its busy beauty is near at
hand. We rejoice that it is so, although
we forsee marches, fatigues and action,
during the coming compaign, such as
was scarcely ever known before.
For we hear from the Potomac to the
Mississippi the bugle notes of our leaders
marshaling their hosts for another and
final onset against the horde of traitors
that have sprung upon and polluted
American soil, to the surprise of Europe,
the perplexity of oil true Americans,
and their own sure destruction which will
come upon them. The great battle is
yet to be fought, the great victory to be
won, that is to decide the life or death of
seIf-government. We believe that sooner
or later the battle will be ours, and the
victory won to the imperishabla repewn
ofsthe patriots who bore the starry ban
ner in triumph through the fiery ordeal
OF the second revolution, if revolution it
may be called, though on OR part prae-
tical ratification of the deeds of our fore.
fathers. They fought a foreign foe to I
huild that for which we dare to strike our
brothers when they seek to destroy il.
Truly the world with wondering gaze
will admire the tenacity with which the |
people have clung to and upheld the
grand experiment of selfgovernmeht in
America, as we surely will AS for this
immediate vicinity, we will soon be so
strengthened with redoubts and earth
works that it will prove to be an interest
ing time when the rebels burn Salt river
bridge again.
TIE NOR otony of camp life was short
tine since relieved by visit from the

but wish that every honest soldier could
enjoy the same blessing, for we are sure
t would give new impetus to their
'pirit of endurance and courage.

EDITORS JoURNAL:-The monotony OF
dress-parade was relieved on yesterday
evening by vevy pleasant occurrence,
which shows that soldiers are ever CRATE
full for kind and gentlemanly treatment.
Capt Cain, of Company F, has been in

year In all this time he has shared
their privations, and done all he could to
make them comfortable and happy His
bearing has been that of a high-toned
christian gentleman. Both his language
and department have been free from vio-
lence on the one hand and laxity on the
other 1t was, therefore, no great won
der that the men of Company F placed
in the hands of Col. Buell. of the 18Th,
fine sword, to be presented to their high
ly respected Captain. The regiment
vas d-a.pr-~p into squ~re. G~Rt. Ce;r

dressed by the Coloael;

4 ArEoU liz ~. !. LINES OF 10Th JulyJ
Some of our cotemporariess speak of our recent
victories as having ended all thought and ali danger
OF intervention on the part of Foreign Powers. While
the Union was losing ground, France and England,
they say, would have been willing to interfere; but
a. soon as victory inchnes 10 the other side, all no.
tive for intervention disappears. and they will
become anxious again to stand well with the Govern
this view of the subject. On the contrary, the dan
gers Of Intervention were never go near, in our iudr-
meDt, as on the eve OF decisive victories on the mart
of the United States.
Ii must be borne in mind that neither France nor
England, or any other Power will be guided by SEN
timental considerations in their action upon this or
any other matter of equal magnitude. They will
not be influenced in the slightest degree by sympatby.
by regard for the imperiled principles OF free gov
eminent, by Slavery, or by anything else of the
kind. So far as We are concerned they care not
practically one straw whether our Government sur
wives or perishes. They will act in this as in all
other matters, from a paramount and supreme regard
to their own interest. They have sagacious states

look far into the future for the grounds OF their
public action, and least of all likely TO be sgeryed
from their own convictions of their own good by apv
thoughts OF philanthropy or sympathy for other

Agricultural.
Which are the Best Sheep?


From the answesr to inquiries sent out
by the Ohio State Board of Agriculture
we extract the following items in regard to
the question Of the best sheep
BY WM. M. CUNNINGHAM, of Stark Co.
This question may have as many differ
ent answers as men have different notions
and opinions. To the fock-master who
breeds and keeps sheep for the wool prn-
cipally, the Spanish Merino is esteemed
above any other in the climate. Some of
the reasons for which are as follows -
The Spanish Merino produces greater
quantity of wool, in proportion to the size
of the carcass, than any other variety of
sheep.
1t is generally admitted fact, that all ami
mails consume food in proportion to the
weight Of carcass. This being the case,
and the difference in weight between a
Spanish Merino and Leicesershire or
Soothdown being about one-third it will
readily be seen which of the two varieties
is most profitable for wool; for generally,
1t will be found that the well built, close
and compact Spanish sheep of eighty
pounds weight will produce more pounds
Of wool than the Leicestershire or South
downs of one hundred and twenty pounds.
If this be true, it requires one-lhird more
feed to produce pound of wool from a
Leicestershire or Southdown sheep than it
does from Spanish Merino; while at the
same time pound of the Spanish Merino
is worth and will sell for at least one-third
more than the other.
The wool of the Spanish Merino is gem
orally very compact and close, and being
oily, as well protects the bodies of the ami
mails from the inclemencies of the weather
while the loose, open, and light-wooled va
rleties, when exposed to the rains and storms.
the wool becomes saturated, the water finds |
its way to the skin, the animal takes cold,
and perhaps dies from exposure.
Spanish or some other Merinos herd TO-
getether in large focks better than Lei
cestershres, Cotswolds or Southdowns.
They are, perhaps, the most quiet and
docile variety of sheep of all others. This
is a great consideration.
