The Richmond papers of the 9sth ult. have
been received.
The Richmond Examiner charges that the
Richmond Government has treated John Nor
gan with Jealousy and injustice, and says that
two OF Morgan's regiments, every man OF
which was recruited by himself In Kentucky,
and for special service under himself, have
been transferred TO the command of General
Grlgsby, the special pet of JEFF. Davis. Nor
gan Is therefore now with command OF only
about 500 men.
A letter from Mobile states that eight Fed.
eral vessels are still lying of Fort Powell and
two of Fort Morgan.
The E1dmiILer has an editorial berating jeff
Davis and his Cabinet for an alleged intention
of recognizing Butler under flag OF truce, and
to treat with him in regard to the exchange Of
prisoners. This, says the Examiner, will ne
cessitate the withrawal by the Confederate
Government of Its deliberate proclamation Of
outlawry against him. The E1aDsiasr does moi
believe the Confederate Government can have
sunk so low as TO trample upon the BolemnlJ
uttered proclamation or be guilty OF what Il
designates such an act of ablect meanness
The editor consoles himself with the though
that If JEFF himself chooses TO make his proc
lamation a nullity, the people themselves art
determined that each proclamation shall be full
filled.
The Examiner of the Goth notes from infor
nation In New York papers that Gen. Gran
is moving reinforccments to the Army of tn
Potomac, thereby, as the editor blnts, weaken
Ing the army at Chattanooga.

MARYLASD.-Eight or nine regiments of
slave blacks-over eight thousand men in all
have been raised for our army in Maryland.
Some of these regiments have been sent down
as far as South Carolina, and others will soon
follow. These eight thousand men were nearly
all slaves, and were enlisted voluntarily, mainly
from the plantations. Very few of the free ne
groes of Maryland have entered the ranlIs. Our
onlistments already must comprise three fourths
of the able-bodied slaves Of the State. Tho re-
mainder arc enlisted as rapidly as they can find
opportunity.

Experiments in Feeding.

To ascertain tie results of feeding un-
der various circumstances, the most care
full experiments were made upon sheep,by
selecting those of nearly equal weight,
and feeding for four months under the
following conditions. One was wholly
unsheltersd, another in an open shed, and
another in close shed in the dark The
food was alike, one pound Of oats per
day, and as many turuips as they would
eat. The first consumed nineteen hun
dred and twelve pounds of turni9s, the
second thirteen hundred and ninety-four
pounds, and the third eight hundred and
cghty-six pounds, less than half of those
eaten by the first. The first gaind twenty
three and one-half pounds in weight, the
second twenty-sevsn pounds, and the third
twenty-eight and one-fourth pounds. For
every one hundred pounds of turnips
eaten, the FIRST gained in weight one and
oue-eighth pounds, the second two pounds,
and the third three and one-sixteenth
pounds. The one confined in the dark
eat much less, and gained more ttan the
uusheltered one.
If the farmer wishes to make as much
manure as possible from a certain quantl-
ty Of hay, straw or turnips, the stock
should be kept in cool place, where the
external air is not entirely excluded, and
SLOWED to take great deal Of exercise.
If fed on rich food, like oil or Indian
meal, the manure of the animal i. OF far
greater value.
In general, it may be stated that food
which has been crushed or ground,i more
easily and completely digcsted by stock,
and furnishes more nourithment. Three
pounds of ground corn are equal to about
four unground, and three Of cooked lndi-
an meal, to about four of the same un-
cooked. Meal and roots are usually
cooked by boiling.
But where animals are already fattcn-
ed, i. Is found to be better to keep them
on dry, hard iood for a few days before
sending them to the butcher, as the fat is
thus mad harder and the meat is more
readily salted through, keeps better, and
shrinks less in cooking.
An animal in coed condition will usu-
ally lose IRON thirty-two to forty per cent.
Of its weight in dressing. If very fat
and we'll formed the loss will be about
one-thrd, or thirty-three per cent. In a
fat sheep, on an average. it will be from
thirty-6ve to forty-dye per cent.-Manu-
al Of Agriculture.
