spirit exhibited in enduring the hardsh'ps OF the
most arduous and brilliant campaign on recora
Well may North. Carolina, our noble old state, Do
proud Of such gallant sons. At tie conclusion IL
was hard to prevent the "three times three cneers
which tho Generals old regiment the 2Sth. wished
to give him, but the officer commanding at tue Time
thought it would appear rather out OF taste, ana
$50 oil was over" Many officers crowded around
to shake hands, and chat with the General Some
accompanied him to headquarters, where, perhaps
he was able to give them little medicine, after
standing so long in the cold Whatever it was

General Lane has the happy faculty OF winning
the esteem and hearts of those associated with MIN

reason there was no occasion to include them they
were bound before and the true meaning and in
tent Of the act is to increase the army by calling
into service men no were not before liable Sup
pose the act contained a provision giving bounty
of 5000 to all men called into service under its ope-
ration, or providing that conscripts should not be
ordered out of their respective States, would it be
imagined that men who had previously volunteered
for the war; or were substitutes for the war; would
be entitled to the extra bounty, or to the special
privilege of remaining in their own States ? Ger
tainly not because there was no need for legisa-
ton in order to make soldiers of them.
A decent respect for our law lnakers-forbids the
Court from adopting construction which leads to
the conclusion that it was the intention, by the use
of general words to include within the operation of
the act substitutes who we're already bound for the
war, not for the purpose of efecting them but for
the indirect purpose Of reaching parties who had
furnished substitutes, and in that way asserting
power which is at least doubtful and certainly in
wolves Reputation and want of good faith. As
the conscrpton act does not include substitutes the
conclusion that Gedhart is no longer sufficient as
substitute and that Twins discharge is of no further
effect fails.
It is considered by me, that John n Irwin be
forthwith discharged with liberty to 60 wheresoever
be will
1t is further considered that the cost of this pro-
ceeding allowed by law be paid by James Irwin to
be taxed by the clerk of the Superior Court of Rock
ngham county according to the statute in such case
made and provided.
The clerk will file the papers in this proceeding
among the papers of his Office.

HOG RAISING.

We know Of no business more profitable on so
small . capital Our people are happily situated
and ought to avail themselves of the rich harvest
that will continue to await the man of energy in
this business.
The pork business of the great Northwest has
taken millions Of dollars from the South, and now
that that source. OF supply has been cut of, We
think that all that portion of the Cohfederacy de-
nominated the BREAD States" ought at once to
exert their energies to produce those things upon
which the cotton planters are to live
Among such necessary articles none will be
found more profitable than hog raising. Not as it
has been generally practiced. But we will en-
deavor to state the system as to be understood.
L. get from two to six good breeders. Have
them OF good stock long and large, with tenden-
cy to roundness II you would select a good
breeder from pigs select the one that has the most
teats.
g. When yor have pigs, do not let them starve
on the supply furnished by their continually weak
ening mother. Feed them on dough. mush. Kitchen
slop, corn and clover when at all practicable.
Change from one diet to another, substituting but
termlik and boiled vegetables, as often as circum-
stances require. This will be deemed expensive,
ana some will prefer the landpike razor back look
ing hogs, to large, plump, round intelligent looking
porkers. We would prefer that the pigs have an
open lot and access to water rather than thus early
pen them.
3. When you would fatten your hogs for market,
select such most thrifty and place them in 3
close pen. Give them just what they will eat and
no more, having about half the pen sheltered, and
then by cleaning the pen every day land the ma
nure. thus saved will be worth a. large porker or
two) and supplying them with water and salt and
small quantity Of turpentine in some form, or sui.
phur, You may count on good hogs
But do not raise too many. It is easier and
cheaper to make ten hogs weigh 5000 pounds at
eighteen months old, than It is to make twenty
weigh the same at three years DID,
We would be pleased to have some contributions
on this subject from some of our practical farm.

Rrsr In WnEAr.-lt haa been long known and
the idea acted on among the Spanish agriculurists
in Texas and Mexico, that the rust in wheat is pro
duced by showers of heavy dews followed by . hot
sun. during that period of vegetation when the
wheat is in the bloom and milk The effect of the
sun upon the wet plant produces the rust To avoid
this result, two men take heavy rope say twenty
thirty feet long, or longer, and walking at that
distance apart draw It over the wet grain, thereby
shaking Of the drops Of rain or dew and thus pre-
vent the usual effect of the sun upon the plant
After heavy dew the rope should be drawn over
the wheat early in the morning. Wheat planted
on hills, or windy positions generally escapes rust
when in low fat grounds, where there is less wind,
the rust takes effect Smut is probably produced
in the same manner. The people of the cotton
States should notice this

A CALIFORNIA STORY,

In the northern part Of this State California; is
q stream called Yuba river. Across it some enter
prising individual built bridge, and on the banks
somebody else built three or four houses. The III
habitants called the place Yuba Dam. Three bars
were instantly erected and the "town" increased
rapidly. About noon, one cool day, sojourner in
the land passed this Furnishing locality, ano seeing
lone. legged specimen of humanity, in a red Shirt
smoking before one of the bars, thus addressed him
"Hellor
"IIello!" replied red shirt with yigor, removing
his pipe from his mouth
"What place is this p demanded the traveller,
whose name was Thompson.
The answer of the shirt was unexpected:
"Yuba Dam"
There was abont fifty yards between them, and
the wind was blowing. Mr.. Thompson thought be-
had been mistaken.
"What did you say?" he asked.
"Yuba DAM" replied the shirt, cheerfully.
"What place is this :" roared Mr.. Thompson.
"Yuba Dam!' said the shirt in a slightly eleva-
ted tone of voice."
"Lookee here!" yelled the rate Thompson, III
asked you politely what this place was, why in the
thunder don't you answer"
The stranger became ex ,ited. He rose and se-
piled with the voice of an eighty FOUNDER:

IN m"ute, fhompsou, burning with the wrath
OF the righteous, jumped off his horse and advanced

taken. The shirt arose and assumed posture of
offense and defense
Arrived within yard Of him, Thompson said:
ask you, for the last time, what place is this p
Putting his hand to his mouth, his opponent
roared:
"Yu-ba Dam
The next minute they've at it.. First Thomp.
son was down; then the shirt; then it was a dog
fall-that is both were down. They rolled about
and kicked up tremendous dust. They sqnrmed
around so theoretically that you'd thought they had
dozen legs instead Of four Itlooked like a prize
fight between two pugilis,ic ccntipedes. Finally,
they both rolled on the bank and into the river
The water cooled them: They went down together,
but came up separately, and put for the Shore Both
reached it about the same time, and Thompson
scrambled up the bank, mounted his warlike steed,
leaving his foe gonging the mud out Of one of his
eyes.
Having left the business portion of the town
that is, the corner where the three bars kept
he struck house in the suburbs before which
little girl of about three years old was playing.
"What place is this. sissy he asked.
The little GIRL frightened at the drowned rat figure
which the stranger cut streaked it for the house.
Having reached the door she sioppsd-turned and
