An Immediate Peace.

Our contemporary, The Conmerei1l yester-
day propounded to us the following pos.
err:
"This, we perceive, is the cry OF the
Democratic press belonging to the copper
head variety, which description embraces
our local organ. We would be glad to be
informed just how an "immediate peace"
can be obtained II VS. can see it, we
most certainly shall be for it, as an incalcu.
liable blessing"
Not being in power, it is no, the business
of the Democracy 10 propose plans for
peace or war, because the party in posses
sion of the Govern ment seem determined
TO prolong hosiilities, and not bring them to
termination. Give us power AID we will
soon make blood-leiting cease at least we
would exhaust evets effort for its attain
ment. The means we would use are sims
pie, but they woulJ.bs effective. But the
present Administration and lis party require
40 peace. Have they, since hostilities be-
gan done one single act calculated TO
secure peace : Have not all their acts,
2roclamations and speeches, aimed al the
subjugation of the Southern people, instead
OF crushing the leading rebels ; and has The
Administration, in one single instance, in
limated desire for peace, except upon
such terms as the Southern people could

TAE BRAVE Ar HONE.

The msid who binds her warriors sash,
With smiles that we'll her pain dissembles,
The while beneath her droopilg ls-h
One starry ieat-drop hangs and uembles.
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
Aud lame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As ever dewed the field OF glory.
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
Mid little ones who weep or wonder,
Aud bravely speaks the cheering word,
What though her heart be rent assunder-
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The hplis of war sronnd him rattle,
Hath shed as sacred blood az e'er
Was poured upon the plain OF battle
The mother who concs ais her grief,
While 10 her breast her son she pressee,
Then breaihes lew brave words and brief,
kissing tho patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God,
To know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Fseeddm's field of honor !

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS IN MAY.--An elec-

next. As there seems to be some doubt
as to what officers are to be elected, we
will append the following list of officers,
giving the length of time they viii
serve:
Justices of the Peace, four years !;
Clerks of the Circuit and County Courts,
for six years Attorneys for the Com
monwealth, for four years Sherifs, for
two years Overseers for the Poor, for
four years.
No Judges win be elected this Spring,
the Legislature having passed g law sus-
pending judicial elections during the
continuance of the war.
The present Judges will continue to
act under the following provision OF the
Constitution:
"Judges and all other officers, wheth-
er elected or appointed, shall continue
to discharge the duties of their respec-
tive Offices, after their terms of service
have expired, until their successors are

FEEDING PIGS

ftf
We have few pigs, over which we extend
our editorial supervision daily. During the
severe weather of winter we fed them on whole
corn, and the slop from the kitchen. We were
not satisfied with the result, and, therefore, de-
termined to change their diet. For several
weeks they have been put on half their former
rations of corn-not in the form of corn, but as
meal - sa-
The slop, as it is collected, is poured upon ihe
meal, and allowed to stand for thirty-six hours,
where it will not freeze. By this time the meal
begins to ferment, and becomes much more di-
gestible than it is in its fresh condition. While
one days portion is being fed out, the next
days portion is subject to the fermenting pro-
cess.
3 The consequence of this mode of feeding is,
that our pet porkers thrive better, look neater,
and seem happier on their shalt rations." than
they did when more freely fed on whole corn.
The economy of grain thus realized, We are
sure, will far more than compensate TOR the ad-
ditional trouble incurred. M M
Two tubs or barrels, adapted in size to the
number of animals to be fed, are to be alter
nately filed and emptied on alternate days.
If you have wheat bran, treat it in the way
above recommended, or mix it with the meal.
It is excellent for growing animals.-Ler. Ga
