General mcclellan found his Level.
The friends of ex-Major-General Nc
Clellsn will be glad to learn that, after his
military and political career have both
been concluded in utter and disgraceful
failure-the former by his resignation on
the eighth Of November, the latter by ms
overwhelming Presidential defeat on the
same day-he has found a position which
he can fIlwith credit and ability. He has
been appointed Engineer-in- Chief Of the
Morris and Essex Railroad. His salary Is
s25,O ,OOOs year just the same that hewould
hsve received had he been elected Presl-
dent of the United States. Financially
therefore, he is ''even"-and he has the
satisfaction Of knowing that he will give
infinitely better satisfaction to his employ
ers in his present position than he would
have done in the one to which he aspired.

One of the immediate results of the
great Union victory in Illinois must DO the
abolition of the infamous black code of that
State. Under the existing Law free color
ed men who enter the State are punished
by being sold as slaves for twelve months,
and heavy penalties are incurred by those
who hsrbor colored persons, whether slaves
or freemen. We presume this shameful
law must be now a dead letter, but 1t still
disgrsces the State, and one Of the first acts
of the Legislature should be its absolute re-
peal We are sbOut to prohibit slavery in
the Unitsd States by an amendment to the
Constitution, but We must also rid our
selves Of the slave spirit in the free North.

THE FEELING AT MACON.

The Macon Confederate, of November

and will not attack it, and announces with
a defiance that, under the circumstances,
is very ludicrous, that Macon will oe de-

Lieutenant General Hsrdee arrived in
the city this morning.
General Beauregard will probably be in
town tomorrow afternoon. The clarion
voice Of this gallant Louisianian, like the
blast of Rhoderick's bugle, will be worth
q thousand men.
Since the dste mentioned it will be OBJ
served that communication with the East
has been interrupted by Sherman, aud the
aforementioned gallant Louisisnian and
the Georgian Hardee are left far in the
rear of Sherman.
The Southern Confsderacy and IqteIl'-

parts unknown. Governor Brown and
Generals Beauregard and Dick Taylor are
at Macon. Wheelers cavalry corps are

THE ExCrrFMENT IN AUGUSTA

General Fry has issued an order i'm
pressing every male citizen of Augusta.
From the Augusta Register, Nov. 22.l
It is high time that our citizens looked
the stern emergency in the face and pre-
pared themselves accordingly to ward of
the danger. The worst feature prevalent
in our midst is q universal apathy. A
frightened multitude may reach to deeds
and sentiments of heroism; but apathy Is
like the silence that broods over the Dead
SEES. The enemy can be thrust back if we
will it.
From the Register, Nov. 22l
General Fry issues an order this morn
ing calling on all the men in Augusta to
prepare Immediately for the defence Of
their homes by uniting themselves with
some local organization. We have no
neeu tosays n word of the Importance of this
call. It can no longer be doubted that an

10 CURE BALKING.-If you have
balky horses, it is your fault, and not
the hors IS; for if they do not pull
true, there is some cause for it, and
il you will remove the the cause, the
effect will cease.
When your horse balks he is oXct
- ed and does not know what you want
him to do. When he gets a little ex-
cited, stop him five or ten minutes;-
let him become calm; 90 to the halIsy
horse, pat him and speak gently to
him; and rs soon as he is over his ex-
citement he will, nine cases out OF
ten, pull at the word; whipping and
slashing and swearing only make the
matter worse. After You have sooth-
ed him awhile, and his excitement
has cooled down, take him by the bit;
turn him each way as FAR as you can;
pull out the tongue; soothe him lit.
le; nnrein him; then step before the
balky horse, and let the other start
first; then you can take him anywhere
that you wish. A balky horse is al
ways high spirited, and starts quick;
has his pull out before the one starts;
by standing before him, the other
starts too. BY close application of
this rule you can make any balliy
horse pull.
If a horse has been badly spoiled,
you should hitch him to an empty
wagon, and pull it around awhile on
level ground; then put on a little load,
and increase it gradually, careSsing
as before, and in short time you
will have horse that will work with.

Legal Intelligence

A countryman walked into the of.
nee OF Lawyer Barns one day, and
began his application:
"Barns, | have come to get your
advice in case that is giving me
some trouble. Suppose now that q
man had spring OF water on his
land, and his neighhor living below
should build n dam across q creek
through both their farms, and it was
TO back the water up into the other
mans spring, what ought to be done2
Sue him, sir, sue him by all means
said the lawyer, who alw ays became
excited in proportion to the aggrava-
tion OF his clients. "You can recov.
er heavy damages, sir, and the law
will make him pay well for it, just
give me the case, and IL bring the
money from him, and if he has not n
great deal Of property, it will break
him mp, sir"
"But stop, Barns" cried the terri
fed applicant for legal advice, sit s
] that built the dam, and it s neigh
Dor Jones that owns the spring, and
lie threatens to sue me"
The keen lawyer hesitated a mo-
ment before he tackled the ship, and
then kept on.
"Ah. well, you say YOU built dam
across that creek. What sort of q
dam was that sir?"
at was mill. dam"
"a mill.dam for grinding grain,
was it2"
"Yes, it was just that"
"And it is a good neighborhood
mill, is it2'
$50 it is, sir, and you may well
say So
so tits, sir, and you may we'll say
So
And all your neighhors bring their
grain to be ground, do they?'
Yes, sir, all but Jones
Then it is general public conve-
nience. is it not?'
TO be sure it is. Iwould not have
built it but for that. 1t is so far su.
perior to any other mill, sir
And now said the old lawyer,
you tell me that man Jones is com
planning just because the water from
your dam happened to put back into
his little spring, and he is threaten
Ing to sue you. Well, all l have to
say is to let him sue, and he'll rue the
day as sure rs my name is Barns.

day in this city. A, an early age, with
his parents, be returned to England,
where, it is said, he took an active,
though not prominent part in politics.
The same papers also announce the
death Of the Earl Of Aberdeen. He held
several important Offices Of a diplomatic
character under the British Ministry,
and was,in 1928, appointed Secretary for
Foreign affairs, and afterwards iu l84i,
he became Prime Minister. As a diplo.
maist he was shrewd and successful, but
not so absolutely great as TO leave name
as such, or TO be remembered as other
than a useful worker and faithful serv-
ant OF his Government. In literature he
is only known as the author of a work on
Grecian architecture, and as contributor
for the Edinburg-a fact which would
probably have been vuite forgotten ere
this, but for Byron's cas,igation. He is,
however, the most eminent man who has
died in England since the death of Prince
Albert, and bis decease will, therefore,
attract much attention abroac.

Rebel Bar barity to Union Prisoners.

The condition OF the released Union pris-
oners who have lately arrivec at Baltimore
from Richmond, is serrble. They arc vast
ed TO mere skeletons. Few complain of any
disease; but the weak ness which results from
starvation, of which many have died. John
Oliver. sergeant Of Co. X, 69,h Ohio regi.
ment, a native of Frankfort, Ross county,
fell iuto absolute INSANITY, and died shortly
after reaching the Baltimore hospital. Men
weighing when in health $50 to 200 pounds,
are reduced through want of food alone, to
100 younds. One of the men reported toa
visitor that out of $50 sick persons taken in =
to q Richmond hospital, in a month, sos
died. In Belle Island the suffering was un-
! paralleled. MaDy-a dozen or more-bad
their feet, fingers, hands and toes, frozen off
whilst exposed to the severe weather in this
desolate abode. To keep from freezing en-
tire they we're often compelled to bundle
dozens together, and change positions, as
those undor got warm and those on top be-
gan to freeze. 1t wos no uncommon thing
TO see twenty, thirty, forty and fifty dead
bodies carried out in day, or to behold
taem strewn around like carcases of dumb
animals. Dogs and rats were caught when
opportunity offered, and eaten by prisoners
on this island as choice morse,s, and an old
bone discovered there was gnawed as del
icacy, What came of the many gifts of pro-
visions sent from home, prisoners with few
exceptions, could not tell, save whom they
saw them at times eagerly devoured by tho
rebels themselves.

WATERING HORSES Tho quantity as well
as tho quality of tho water given horse
will greatly affect his condition. Perhaps
no animal is moro distressed by thirst than
the horse, fact not generally known, or il
known not generally appreciated. Horse:
should bo watered regularly, when not al
work as well as when at work, provided, il
the attor case that caro- is ;aken not to lie,
him have it when overheated by work. Ir.
regularity in the supply of water is often
followed by refusal to partaka of solid
food, and more frequently by collie and
founder, in consequence of his drinking in.
ordinately whom an opportunity offers. For
horses, when they are not at work, it is per.
fectly safe to keep supply of pure water
always within their reach but, as before re-.
marked. there is some danger in this plan
when they are worked or driven, and are
likely to become overheated.
There is very certain way of determining
when horse has been neglected. If the
master, on entering the stable and lifting
tho water bucket, finds the animal placing
himself in an attitude of expectation, and
eagerly gszing at the vessel. it is point blank
evidence that his usual supply of water has
been withheld. Whenevor it is possible let
the horse have water from running stream.
