She's gone; and beckons us to come;
She's passed from earth away:
An angel round His burning throne,
She lives in endless day.
Though called SO suddenly to 20,
Her lamp was burning bright;
And ere one day had run its course
The spirit took its fight
We part, but oh it's pain to part:
Her place, oh who can filli
But memory kindly keeps for us
Her voice and image still.
And others miss thee too, dear friend:
How oft thy feet hath trod
The pathway to the soldiers home,

Farewell we'll meet again. l hear
Thy last kind word, farewell
Well meet thee in happier sphere,
Where saints and angels dwell

of his speech he said something about himself and

The VIEWS OF NAPOLEON ON THE YANKEE PREs1.
DENTAL ELEcTIoN-OFrIcIAL REPORT UPON THEM.-
Mr.. Pennington, the Secretary of the United States
Legation at Paris has just returned home from that
city. The HeraM gives the following result of his
observations:
lie reports to the government that the Emperor
OF France takes deep interest in our present Presi-
dental contest and watches it especially in the en-
dcavor to find in the result the true expression of
the American people, and the real sentiments of the
country upon the questions of union or disunion,
war or peace. The Emperor, 1t is said, will regard
the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln as determined and
unqualified declaration of the American people in
favor OF the Union at every hazard and through all
the possibilities of war. He will regard that re-
suit as confirmation, directly from the people, Of
all the statements that our government has made
to European Powers to that effect On the other
hand, it is said that he will regard the election of
General Mcclellan as an expression of readiness
on the part of the people to make terms with the
Southern States; to make peace even that will
anmlt the independence of those States. In short,
that he will find in the election of General McClel-
Ian, and in the temper that he will suppose it indi-
Gates, that very opportunity which England and
France have waited for-the opportunity for inter-
vention IN favor of the South.

FATTENING SwINE.-Farmers begin to faten swine
too late. Some do not commence till the first Of
autumn and others even later; the consequence is
the animal scarcely gets under way when the time
comes for slaughtering him. Our best managers
make it a rule to keep the animal growing without
intermission from the first period of its existence
until ready for the pork.tu II kept over winter,
they are fed and kept comfortable throughout, and
the regular attening process is commenced early in
spring. bushel of corn given thus early in the
season to q vigorous animal is worth much more
than if fed in cold weather or in wnten One rea-
son that farmers find it Improbable to fatten pork,
is that large part of the process has to be perform
ed when the weather has become so cold that much
Of the feed is required merely for sustaining animal
warmth.
The best pork raiser we know of has in one in
stance grown pig eight months old so as to weigh
about four hundred pounds; and in another four
hundred and fifty pounds in ten months. He has
the corn ground to let at half its value
Farmers who have not begun to fatten their
swine regularly, as they should have done months
ago, should commence Immediately. By attending
to the particulars just mentioned, they will find the
business far more profitable than the too frequent
practice of feeding in the ear giving The feed irregu
lary both to time and quantity and paying at
tenton to cleanliness and comfort. The skfn farm.
erwhose practice We have already described, finds
that the mixture of meal and hot water makes twice
as much pork as corn fed on the cob, according to
careful weighing and measuring.
He prepares it by pouring into a covered tub,
four pals of boiling water to each heaping pail Of
dry meal After standing day or more it all be-
comes nearly solid mass, and makes excellent food.
The animals are kept perfectly clean, dry and COM
Portable, (not in close pen, but in small yard,)
are led with great regularity, and never quite as
much they will eat surfet being carefully avoid
ed. He finds that pork thus manufactured costs
him only five cents pound when corn is dollar
per bushel.

PLYMOUTH IN THE HANDS OF THE EsENY.-We
have the unwelcome intelligence that Plymouth is
again in the hands of the enemy. 1t seems that
small boat containing some sixteen men, approach
ed Plymouth recently in the night, captured the
picket boat just below the place. and then placed
torpedo under the iron clad Albemarle and destroy
ed her. Thirteen of the crew Of the small boat
were captured and the rest were drowned. hard
fight ensued soon after between the enemy's gun.
boats and our forces under Gen. Baker, which re-
suited in an evacuation of the town by our troops.
We have no particulars Of the fight and no account
Of the casualties.
Plymouth is in the County Of Washington, near
the head of the Albemsrle Sound and commands
the Roanoke and Cashie rivers which water the up.
per part of the Albemarle region. its capture may
result in serious loss to that region It is reported
that the destruction Of the iron Clad which is said
to have been equal to five thousand men. was the
result Of gross neglect on the part of those who
were in command.
We learn that Washington in this State has alse
been evacuated by our troops as the result Of this
disaster at Plymouth. The fruits Of the hsrdesrn-,
ed victories of our brave troops under Gen. Hoke,
are thus swept away. Who is to blame for these
serious losses!
