ABOUT CATTLE.-The way TO summer your
cattle well is to winter them well and half
the secret of good winterng is to keep them
warm. Animal heat is generated in proper
tion to the abundance and excellence Of their
food. Exposure to the cold air withdtaws
heat rapidly, and of course makes more food
necessary to resupply 1T, just as an open
door makes it necessary to have more wood
in the stove. If your stock run down in the
winter and come out lean and feeble all the
SUNNI er will not bring them in condition
again.

LOUISVILLE, September 26.-Burnside was at
Knoxville Yesterday. Military authorities say
that he did not know of an impending battle be-
tween Rosecrans and Bragg. and that he could
not have reinforced Rosecrans if he had known
il. The battles had been long concluded before
the news reached Burnside.
A Kentucky ex-oficisl left Norristown Mon
day night. Burnside was at Norristown, which
is forty miles east of Knoxville.
Rartsuff is ut Knoxville. There are no rebels
this side of Greenville. ~
Burnside is entirely safe in his present position,
and, by concentration at Cumberland Gap, can
repel any force. His supplies are abundant. and
not liable to be cut off.
The rebel telegraphic line from the Gap to
Norristown is not in order, but there is telegraph.

NEW ORLEANS, September 10 via Cairo the
26th.-Gen. Grant has recovered sufficiently to
be moved to Vicksburg, and leaves for that place
to-day. Adjutant General Thomas accompanies
him. 1t will be some time before he can resume
active duties.
Several stea mhoats from st. Louis arrived
within a few days. laden with produce, have
greatly relieved markets.
Military matters are still active.
The expedition OF Gen Heron has been heard
from. He has cleared the country between Red
river and Port Hudson from guerrilla parties
who have been firing on Transports, and has
driven Gen. Green to the west OF Atchafalaya
river. with onsiderable loss.
Among the captured was an agent of the rebel
government with important papers.
An officer states that Heron is quite sick and
will be brought to New Orleans. Banks order
removing restrictions on trade is received with
great satisfaction. The health of the city is
good.

CONTRADICTORY.

The Geographic reports TO the press are getting
more and more unreliable. although it is an
nounced that they are supervised by government
officials. Through that medium of intelligence
facts only should be given to the country. That
is all the people want-not comments by news
agents incapable, at the best, of enlightening the
country. and who, in addition are generally bitter
partisans, and color the news to suit their OVID
notions. The telegraph of this morning in refer
ence to Gen BURNSIDE is an illustration of the
contradictory news which tine telegraphic report
ers send over the wires, and il is of daily occur
renee too. In the first place is states that the
late battle of Chickamauga would have had
a different result if Gen. BURNSIDE had
obeyed the positive orders he had received
to reinforce RosEcRASs, and that the Government
is not satisfied with his proceedings, nor is the
necessity manifested for his neglect to obey the
order given him in express terms The same
channel of Information then, in another para
graph, relieves BURNSIDE from all responsibility
in the matter. IL says that that officer was at
Knoxville on the 25th; that he did not know of
an impending battle; that he could not have re-
inforced RosEcRANs if he had known il, and that
the battles had been concluded long before the
news reached him.
Then again the telegraph states In one place
that great anxiety is lelt in the army circles in
Washington Tor the safety of BURNSIDE, and
under the same date. with great posiLiveness, it
states that BURNSIDE is entirely safe in his
present position"
What confidence can the country place in an
institution which should oe entirely reliable and
unbiased. when it daily circulates such contra.
dictory reports? The people have but little faith
in it now, and a continuance of the present man.
agement will destroy it altogether.

The New York World detects in Mr.. SEwARD's
recent circular letter a variety of amusing blum
ders. The Secretary speaks of Cardinal RICHIE
LTEU's occupation of a large portion of "the
continent from the Gulf of Mexico to the Straits
Of Belle Isle." though the Cardinal had been
dead a quarter of a century before the Mississippi
was discovered. He makes a mistake of about
fifty years in reference to the age in which the
Portuguese poet, CAMoESs. lived. and he even
blunders as to dates in reference to the emanci
patton ordinance passed in Missouri. Zine
feathers do not make fine BIRDS" nor do fine

A word To Subscrtbers and FRIENDS.
We call the attention Of the subscribers to the
Weekly Sentinel. and its friends throughout the
State. TO the fact that a large number of sub
scriptions will expire within a few weeks. We
hope that the old subscribers will not only renew
their subscriptions, but that all who take an in
terest in the success of Democratic principles
will make an effort to largely increase the cir
culation of the Sentinel. Our political opponents
are making use of every agency to misrepre-
sent the motives and actions of Democrats and
the Democratic party, and the best means to
counterfeit these efforts is the circulation of Dem.
ocratic papers; but the press can not live withou,
material aid. and its usefulness will depend in q
great measure upon the support it receives. Let
our friends throughout the State act as voluntary
agents in procuring subscribers for the Sentinel
and the more liberal the encouragement we re-
ceive in an increased circulation, the greater will
be our efforts for the success of the common
cause.

PHILADELPHIA. September 2I.-fhe report in
the New York papers of Saturday evening and
Sunday morning, that the Government had taken
possession of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
has been ascertaIned, from the best sources, to be
incorrect. The Government, to some extent, has
availed itself of the facilities of the road, but has
not interfered with the running Of the regular
through trains.
