with no considerable enemy during the
time be has been lost TO view and the
reports received since he has placed
himself in communication with the
North, indicates that he has achieved
important il not complete success since
his arrival in the region Of Savannah.
Ia the present state Of the Confed-
e-acy and disposition OF our forces, we
take a long step towards the end Of
our journey when we capture the city
OF Savannah. We have had posses
sion Of Fort Pulaski at the mouth of
the Savannah river for nearly two
years, and upon the capture Of the
city, that river, navigable as far as
Augusta, Is open to our fleets. Lee
is IN the clutches of Grant Hood is
hundreds Of miles away, harrassedBy
superior foe and the army Of Gen
Sherman, thus free from all opposi-
ton except from the force which it has
already encountered, with its base up
on the coast, and its operations facih-
tated by a nayigable river, can keep
the centre Of the Coniederaey in con-
tinual alarm, and probably sever for
good the railroad communications be-
tween the granary Of the South and
the army in Richmond. The capture
Of Savannah will thus give lew phase
to the war as surely as did the fall Of
Nicksourg; aud as the division Of the
Confederacy by the opening of the
Mississippi was the first great step in
the successful prosecution Of The war,
so we believe a division OF the re-
naming portion by the successful
on the line from Nashville
10 Savannah will go far towards The
accomplishment of the work then SO
sloriously commenced.
The successful issue Of this cam
1aigni is nothing more than might have
been expected from the hero Of At
anita. No one should have doubted
he ability Of The man who carried the
mountain passes from Chattan ooga to
to march across the open
,lains Of central Georgia.

Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-01-07

If you have balky horses, it is your
fault and not the horses; for If they do
not pull true, there is some csuse for it,
and If you will remove the cause, the effect
will cease. When your horse balks, he is
excited, and does not know what you want
him to do. When he gets little excited,
stop him I've or ten minutes; let him be.
come calmi 60 to the bslky herse, pat him,
and speak gently to him; and as soon as
he is over his excitement, he will, nino
cases cut of ten, pull at the word whip
ping and slashing and swearing only make
the matter worse. After you have soothed
him awhile, snd his excitement has cooled
down, take him by the bite; turn him each
way as far as you can; pull out the tongue;
sooth him little; unrein him; then step
before the bslky horse, and let the other
start first; then you can take him any
where you wish. A bslky horse is always
high spirited, and sssrts quick; has his
pull out before the other starts; by stand
ing before him, the other starts too. By
close application of this rule you can make
any balky horse pull. If horse has been
badly spoiled, you should hitch him to the
empty wagon, and pull 1t around while on
level ground then put on little loao, and
increase it gradually, carressing as before,
and in short time you will have gosd
horse that will work without troubling

A Remedy for a squsakIDs Nuisance.

A Remedy for q squeakiDB Nuisance.
A correspondent Of The Scientific Amer
loan has discovered a remedy for squeak
ing boots, which viii prove Of essential
value to ali who are annoyed from this
cause. The writer says:
wish to call your attention to what I
consider grieVsus annoyance, for which
I suppose the bootmskers are responsible.
sllude to the disturbance produced at
lectures and other meetings (where silence
is essentially by those who enter late with
creaking boots. II they made other wear
ers Of them as nervous as they do me when
afflicted with pair, think some remedy
would be adopted. 1t seems to me, how
ever, that the gentleman who comes late
into meetings is entirely unconscious Of
the effect they are producing. Where the
voice of the speaker is not very powerful,
or he does not keep an even tone, and the
closest attention is required from the audi
ence, q creaking pair Of boots often causes
the loss of q statement of link Of sn ar
gument essential to the right understand
ing Of the whole subject on hand. want
you to urge the adoption of a remedy on
your readers. Bootmakers have told me
that French chalk, or something like it,
put between the soles, will prevent the
evil. The last bootmaker from whom |
purchased pair having assured me posi-
lively that they would not annoy me in
that way, agreed that if they did he would
take the soles apart and apply the correc-
tive. But when [ came TO wear them l
found they sereeched horribly; though it
was in q distant city that bought them,
l could not call upon the seller to fulfill
his agreement, so 1 determined to try some
remedy myself however desperate, to cure
them. l had frequently tried satursting
the soles with common oils, but, although
this mitigsted the evil, it did not cure it.
IL occurred to me that boiled linseed oil
might cure 1t. 1 accordingly applied it to
the soles, keeping them quite hot during
the process to enable them to absorb the
more l did not know but that the hot oil
might be ruinous to the boots; but though
could not afford TO throw away such an
article, was determined to sacrifice the
boots rather than to be so sadly troubled
with their noise. / saturated them ac-
cordingly with as much oil as they would
absorb, and am hsPpy to say that my ex-
pertinent seems to hsVe succeeded. l have
worn them now for a number of weeks,
and they have heen ss quiet as the best
behaved boots ever made. 1 can march up
the broad isle Of church without disturb
Ing one serious listener, or enter any other
meeting as noiselessly as a lady in velvet
slippers, and, as far as 1 can see, the boots
are none the worse for the application.
