70 Our young friend John Simms
has lately arrived, and called upon us
with package of late papers lie left
Port Hudson two weeks ago last Monday,
and crossed at Natchez, last Sunday a
week ago. He reports that one of the
enemy's gunhoats came down to Natchez,
last Monday week, and anchored in front
of the city, Several of our steamboats,,
bound down the Atchafalaya and Red river
had been telegraphed of the fact, and =
turned. 1t is rumored that two others
had passed Vickstrg; but of that he
was not assured. These boats will cause
US much embarrassment ia cutting off our
transportation of supplies.
1t seems that the enemy are devoting
their attention to the capture Of officers,
Offering little disturbance to citizens and
privates The rumored secession Of ken
lucky is fully confirmed; but it is condi-
toned that Lincoln fails to retract his
emancipation proclamation. The vote of
the Legislature on this question, was five
to one.

T1eed Sor FarYn Horses.

w.R. Lewis of Milford. Mass, gives in the American Aericnturist, the following hints npon the management of farm horses:
 When was a boy, in the North of Yer mont, we used to feed dry hay and oats, unless ths horse had the hcaves, which was very com mon dmong them at tha. time. owing to feed
 ing too much dry hay and oats, and driving them too fast when full. We then supposed they ought to have hay before them all the time. This is . falsc idea; all kinds of ani. mals will do better on regular meals. Far mers usually feed too much dry hay. You may keep horse eating all the time, and not have it thrive. I came to Massachusetts about twelse5ears ago, and engaged in the teaming business about seven years. began to feed cut hay and corn meal, and found the horses would do more work end last longer, and be in better condition than when kept on dry food. Cracked corn and oats make very good feed for noon, when. in q hurry. I would feed car rots all wintcrin small quantities., especially young horses and breeding nares. This keeps then in . healthy condition. Team horses may De fedon them once each day to advan- tage. am not able to state the amount each horse should be fed this depends on the size of the animal. I would advise all owners to keep their horses. especially those they usc, in good condition; it costs less in the end. Colts ought not to have much grain unless very thin in flesh they are often injured by graining. A fcw ground oats, with hhay or straw, wet and mixed, and half pint of ashes added, once in two or three weeks, is all colts need, besides hay. The ashes keep the bowels open, and, it is said free from worms. If living where hay and oats are cheap, would have the oats ground, and cut . portion of my hay and straw to mix with what grain I fed, and consider myself well paid for the time and trouble.

Bwns aud Scalds are of such frequent oc currence, that every family shoulc know what to do for them immediately. The following have been Thoroughly tested, and may be relied upon as eficacius If the Burn or ScdlI is not very deep, or the skin broken, though it may be blistered some apply raw cotton spread out or caried and laid in considerable quantity di- rectly over the burn. Bind it on slightly, and let it remain some time. When it is removed the fire will be found to be all drawn out and it may be dressed with the Salre recommended below. Simple as it may appear this is the best application for burns of this character, that has ever been tried.
 If the burn is very severe, apply to it poul- tice of ground Slippery Elm Ba,k and sluilk This poultice is made in the same way as q Bread and Milk poulticc.

When it has been spread Mick on a cloth, cover it well with Olire or S,oeet OI, The poultice should net be suffered to get dry. but must be changed often.
