courts interfere to protect deserters,
and to resist the only authority that
can punish them or prevent their crime;
a Democratic Legislature refusing to
allow an investigation of the mis-
chievous order; Democratic leaders
justifyin,, the rebellion and falsifying
notorious facts to do it; Democratic
papers constantly advocating the Sc
ccssion Of the Northwest from New
England; and every single fact named
operating to support and advance that
secession. Do not these facts, open,
glaring and notorious, call for action on
the part Of the people? II we are not
to be forced out Of the Union by the

we must be ready to act. Friends OF

Abandon the Ieed Corn.

At !, farmers meeting in Ottawa. re
Gently, a grain buyer present urged
farmers to abandon the culture Of red
or red mixed com lie said it would
bring three to four cents less than
either yellow mixed with white, or
either Of the latter pure in the same
market. A letter on this subject was
also received BY the Secretary Of the
meeting, from the proprie:ors Of a grain
elevator in Chicago, and heavy grain
dealers, Messrs. Munger & Armour,
from Which I make the following
extract;
1T has occ ared to us that it would be
a favorable time to present to farmers
the propriety of changing their seed
corn, to that OF yellow or yellow mixed.
The red corn, while it is not more pro-
dnclise or less expensive in its culture
than yellow or yellow mixed, realizes on
an average four cents per bushel less
than yellow, and about one and a half
cents less than yellow mixed, in the
same market. We have had
i large and long experience in handling,
selling, and shipping all kinds Of cereals,
and in doing SO, we have found red
corn difficulty of sale in this ma.ket
still more SO OH the seaboard and il
New England, where corn is wanted
for mealing purposes, it is altogether
unsaleable. It is obvious that where
there is not a ready demand for an ar
ticle, such as red corn, sellers are
compelled to submit to the terms of the
spcculating buyers, and in consequence
the prices realized are often the source
Of complaint and dissatisfaction to the
owner. With yellow and yellow mixed
corn, there is always ready market at
current prices. It may also be men,
toned, that in warehousing red corn,
here and elsewhere, it has frequently to
be mixed in bins with corn of more
desirable color to the loss aud injury q
warehouse men and the holders of the
better grade"

The friends OF this gallant Captain
will regret to learn Of his recent death
from wounds received in the late battle
Of Springfield Mo. We learn the facts
which we are about to narrate from
Captain Bates who was on the ground.
Col. T. Y. Cook with the 18th reci-
ment was placed in command OF Fort
No. l. Some Of the boys of the 18th
had been learning artillery practice and
in the course Of the battle an order
came tor them to take ont small field
piece which they had with them and
make an attack upon the enemy. Four
companies ofthe 18th were detailed to
support the piece, and placed under the
command Of Captain Van Meter. They
advanced upon the enemy and fell into
an ambush; they had hardly got into
position and got the cannon nnlimbered
when the rebels opened mnrderous
fire upon them from all sides; in few
moments every horse was killed and
every man at tie cannon killed or woun
icd. Captain Van Meter received
three balls in the upper pat OF his thigh.
He was good soldier and hras. almost
10 a fault. A hero has fallen, but the
people will hold his memory dear

TEETH SET on EDGE.-All acid foods,
drinks, medicines, and too,h-washes
and powders, are very injurious to the
teeth. Ii a tooth is pm. in cider, vinegar
lemon juice, or tartaric acid. In few
hours the enamel will be completely
destroyed, SO as it can be removed by
the finger na,l, as if it were chalk.
Most people have experienced what is
commonly called teeth set on edge.
The explanation Of it is, the acid OF the
fruit that has been eaten has so far
sottened the enamel Of tie tooth that
the least pressure is felt 10y the small
nerves which pervade the thin mem.
brane which connects the enamel and
the bony part of the tooth. Such an
effect ca..nlt be produced without in
iuring the enamel. Trne, it will be-
come hard again, when the acid has
been removed by the fluids of the
mouth, just as an egg that has been
softencd in this way becomes hard
again by being put IN the water. When
the effect Of sour fruit on the teeth sub
sides, they feel as well as ever, but they
are not as well. And the oftener it is
repeated, the sooner the disastrous con-
sequences will be manifested Scicn,
