The Congressional Convention.

We give on the fourth page the full
proceedings of the Union Congressional
Convention held at Sparta, Aug. %.
That Convention was the largest in
numbers and the strongest in point Of
ability and influence which has ever met
in the Sixth District.
The Convention was presided over by
Judge GEORGE w. CATE, who there for
he FIRST time publicly took ground in on
sitiOn to the Democratic party, and sta
ted the issue of the day and the duty OF
patriots in speech of stirring impulse
and unanswerable argument.
Brief and eloquent speeches were made
BY Judge GRAHAM, S. III. ALBAN, Hon.
MILToN BARLOW, Hon. WM. I. PRICE,
|. L. USHER, Gen. L. E. WEBB, J. T.

% The La Crosse Weekly Demo
erat Of August 90. in an article headed
"Is Lincoln a traitor :" says
We cannot, for the life of us, discov-
er any difference between Lincoln and
Davis, except to the advantage of the
latter"
Mr.. Pomeroy, two years ago, while an
aspirant for the Union Congressional
nomination, made patriotic speeches
through this district, and was well re-
,eived by Union men. Since then. he
las been ordered out ofour army lines
publicly branded as a traitor; and the
frequency. of utterances similar to the
aboye, has sunk him as low in political
~ he is in social life. If be had any ron.
Tietions he would merit some respect. but
a mere soldier of fortune-utterinr dis
loyal sentiments just to satisfy a craving
ior nOtoriety, his vileness and unworthi
ness are too great TO be estimated.

The Chicago Convention.

The Democratic Convention has NOM
mated Geo. s. Mcclellan for President,
and Geo. H. Pendleton. Of Ohio, for
Vice President. Ne CleIlan has many
warm friends, and personally, is n much
better and more ioyal man than the ma
jority of the malcontents who placed him
in nomination. The platform adopted is
brief, and if it means anything, means
Peace on the basis of disunion, if the
South will not give better terms. That
platform will damn any man who puts
his foot upon it. The people are in ear
nest in their determination TO preserve
the integrity Of the territory of the I'm
ion. They have suffered too much and
are too concious Of their strength-too
profoundly mindful of the disaster which
would follow separation-they are too
near the goal of their endeayor to relin.
quish it now. That platform, and its
authors and supporters will be buried in
contempt by the votes of the people -
We shall print the platform next week.
The convention was largely attended,
and was presided over by Hon, Horatio
Seymour, of New York.

Hon. Walter ID. McIndoc.

Hon. Walter d. McIndoe has been re-
nominated by reclamation rs member of
Congress from this district. The choice
was unanimous not only in form, but in
feeling. This fact speaks in the highest
praise of the satisfaction which the con
stituents of Mr. McIudoe feel in regard
to his course.
1t is rare thing in district IS large
as this, with so many sectional interests,
and where nomination Is equivalent to
an election, that candidate should re-
ceive the undivided vote of convention,
but Mr.. McInloe has done this, and the
action Of the convention will be ratified
by the people at the polls. Mr.. McIn-
doe will visit this portion of the district
during the canvass.

England spent many years in determining
the relative value CT the various articles of
st0cktood known i'll that country, and some
years ago published the result. 1t is a mat
ter of great interest in o country where so
mucE attention is given to- the feeding of
stock as distinguished from grazing. He
then made an estimate Of the relative money
ed value OF tie manure made from feeding
these several substances, which he also pub
lishcd. Leaving out such as enter very lit
tie into consumption here, we call attention
to some of the leading ones familiar to our
practice:
He takes ton of decorticasejl cotton seed
cake and pat Ut the head Of his list worth
at that time S27 Sc; linseed cake, same
quantity, $40 2ibeans, SIT rs; peas, Sl3 3s;
oats, 81 40; wheat, - 0S, Indian corn $6 Go;
barley, Sc &c. cloyer hay, 50 Ga; meadow
hay, SO 43; oat straw, 81 90; wheat straw,
80 6SS BARLEY straw, So %; potatoes, 81 so;
mangolds, 81 OF; Swedish turnips, 81 cents;
common turnips, SO cents; carrots, S5 cents.
Some of these figures will no doubt, cause
surprise. Indian corn we have been in the
habit of looking upon rs the most substan-
tial article of food given to our animals, and
we naturally expect from it tie most valua-
BILE manure. We find that, as compared =
with the same weighs Of BEANS it stands as
S6.oD tG. 5 20. 20; TO the same WDlgnt OF oats
as $6.65 to S9.64.-This last comparlson we
feel hardly able to credit. Bat the truth OF
it depends upon the fact that the Indian
corn while it contains oily matter--a fat
forming principle-and salts, contains far
less proportion Of nitrogenous matter, so
powerful an element in manure. So we find
the same weight Of oats much exceeding
Indian corn in the manure, for the same rca-
son, and its afTording nourishment and
strength to the muscles, where corn affords
more fact; fact which enables horse to
stand more haEd work on the same weight
of oats than of corn, while the corn may
make him look better.
What is to be particularly remarked in
connection with these facts is that we should
get rid of the habit of speaking of stable ma
nuro as Being stronger than the manure of
cattle or of hogs, and of poultry mannre as
being nearly equal to gaano, &C., without
reference to the food on which the animal
feeds. 1t is this, in fact, that determines
its value. The manure of hog grazing in
the pasture, is very different thing from
that Of the same animal feed on corn in IL
pen. the same difference exists in that of
COW highly fed, is much richer than that
of horse at pasture. Poultry manure, the
result of grain feeding and animal food, is
very rich, but it is different thing under
different circumstances, and the same may be
said of all manures.
