years to come. But few of them, however
will ever fnd their way back to New Eng
land or the West, from which they were ta-
ken so that, for all practical purposes. we
may safely calculate that none of the thou
sands Of horses taken from our farms for
the army will ever return. Their labor is
entirely lost to our farmers.
Prices of all kinds of stock and nroduce
must rule high for a long time to come, but
enormous consumption OF horses must inc
vitality exert double pressure in regard to
them, and We desire to call the attention of
our farmers to the important points connect.
ed with the subject.
This scarcity of horses and consequen:
high prices will stimulate the breeding O:
| horses for some years to come, and our far
mers may be certain that colts will pay better
thai ever before. As manual labor will also
be high, it will generally be for the interes,
Of farmers TO raise those things which re.
qulre the last and in this view, the raising
of colts has some decided advantages. Each
one, however, must be his own judge as &c
whether cuitra!sing may be profitable under
his Circumstance.
F. The second point to which We wish to call
attention, is IN relation to the employment oi
oxen III place of horses upon oar FARMS
, there are hut few farms on which oxen may
aot be kept with decided profit. A yoke o.
oxen can 5e bought for the price of gooC
horse, can be kept almost or quite as cheap
will do early double the work on a farm
and, i: carefully used and well fed, will sell
after the crops ale a.. in, for a profit oyel
their cost 1ne.e are out few farmers who
could not cas- y realize profit of thirty tC
fifty dollars a yeai by purchasing oxen in tht
early part Of winter, ard selling again th'
next fall or early winter. By generous feed
ing and careful usage. they will give nel
profit on their growth, besides doing work
enough to pay for all they eat. We know
farmers who realize profit o. fifty to one
hundred dollars year, by adopting similar
course to tn It We nave recon AIDED.
/ Our object al this time is N rely to Cal
attention to these two points, which seem tc
rs TO be deserving of the serious attention
Of our farmers generally. The question o
ne comparative cost of horse and ox labor
is one of greater importance than is gener
lilly supposed, and at another time we may
consider it at greater lenght. Meantime, W.
should be pleased to hear from ou: farmer
readers upon the subject. -Nas21chuSet!

In the United States Senate yesterday, aflei
the transaction of unimportant business, the
House bin revlying the grade of Lieutenant
General was taken up, and long debate en-
sued. The Senate amendment requiring that
whosoeyer is appointed Lieutenant General
shall be commander OF the army was agreed
to. The recommendation Of the House that
the appointment should be conferred upon
General Grant was objected to, as disrespect-
full to the President, who should be free to
make his own selection. Final action on the
bill was not reached when the Senate ad.
journed.
In the House OF Representatives yesterday
the Committee Of Ways and Means reported
back the Internal Revenue bill, With the recon-
mendation that the Senate amendments be

and an amendment proposed by Mr.. II. W.
Davis, OF Maryland, awarding $500 to the
loyal owner for each slave enlisted into the

NEW BERNR, Feb. Z, 1s6I.-The enemy are
again threatening our communications at va
rious points.
They made another demonstration this morn
ing on Newport barracks, which point they
will evidently attempt to hold.
An erroneous report that we were being
strongly reinforced here for the purpose of as,

brought large force OF the enemy into this
State for the double purpose Of checking the
convention movement, and repossessing them
sible. " F''
The rebel iron-clad Atkinson, on the Neuse
river, Is considered a very formidable affair by
those who have seen 1t. They report that she
Is about ready to act In concert with the moy-
Ing force which threatens New Berne. This
large rebel force will not be idle.
Everything indicates an intention on the
part of the enemy to commence a long siege
against New Berne and Washington. The
presence OF large fleet Of gunboats In these
waters is an imperative necessity.

the effect that parties arriving at Nashville
from Knoxville on the 10th instant report that
Cumberland Gap is cut of, and that nearly all
that part Of East Tennessee Is in possession Of
the rebels, is not confirmed by any information
In the possession of the Government, but, on
the contrary, there is good reason to believe
that the report is not true. If such news had
been received at Knoxville on the 9th or 10th

Gated to the Government here before this time.
