''There were as many conflicting

out and out peace-at-any-price Demo-
Gratis. Realizing, however, the utter
folly of Offering a genuine representa-:
tive of their sentiments to the Amerii--s
can people, as they would gladly have
done, they concluded to gid their nau-
seous pill, and nominate some one that
could be twisted and manufactured to
suit all tas es and all creeds. They
could afford to do this while virtually
holding the reins of power, and SO con-
trolling events as to really snbserve
their own sel6sh b interests. So a peace
platform was showed under Mike Lei
Ian, and he now stands on it the puppet
of the peace party-a weaker man than
Buchanan or Frank Pierce-with the
doubtful military prestige Of Autietam
and Yorktown to make him palatable to
the Democracy, and his well-known pill
ancy as cats paw, and love of slavery
to certify him as Zone, Of their sort" to
! the radical peace faction. Already the
! papers begin to sing hossannas in his
praise. He is the greatest chieftain Of
the age,"born of poor but respectable
parents and so on, through the whole
biographical chapter, illustrated with
numberless side-chants, choruses, &C.,

working to admiration Of shouting pit

towl-good Lord and good Devil in ono

Tennessee, on the north
si6e Of the Tennessee; river, Waldron's
Ridge rears itself in. mountain like pro-
portions, and running parallel with the
river for distance Of. eighty miles,
Joins the Cumberland Mountains in the
vicinity Of Knoxville. The valley ly-
ing between this ridge aud the river is
designated the Tennessee Valley. and
is from two to FIVE miles in width. The
country is undulatlng, and where it is
not cultivated is covered With a heavy
growth of timber; on the bottoms with
a slight growth of oak openings. 1t is
very fertile and we'll watered by numer-
Gus creeks, which rise among the hills,
and never failing springs-the most
beautiful aud prolific I ever saw. Large
plantations and small farms dot the val
ley every few miles, while villages Of
respectable size are few. $500

About Sheep Sales.

We have been in the habic of mentioning.
occasionally, in our local column. sales of
sheep-enough 20 give general idea OF The
prices nov paid. We might multiply them
If We chose, but for our loc Al circulation il is
not of great vslue. Besides, some flock
masters are unwilling 10 have in-iI safes
spoken Of in that wav We learn that suca
items coming n the notice of persors a: q
distance are received with incredulity. They
are pronounced fictitious prices, "bcgus
sales" reported in the papers to increase lhe
inf, of prices. We can assure such that
nothing can be farther from the truth. Sales
of sheep here for prices from 800 TO $500
excite less remark than would the. sale Of
horses at the same figures. and they are Ger
tainly much more frequent. We have in
mind one sheep that We kRow can any day be
sold for $4,000. Sheep that viii bring from
$1,000 to 5000 are net plenty, Of course, but
there is nothing fictitious in these valuations.
There is no property that viii pay better 10
keep. Our only object in making thrs-
statements is to meet the prevalent; rotion in
the west that Vermont prices have TO solid
basis. We have never known a man to
make personal Investigations without being
able to fully endorse what We say.-Mtdalc-
bury Reqister.

A Kind Act by President Lincoln.
NJ. G. HENDERSON, Supt.

Our Washington correspondent writes
tha. a few days ago a half-crazy Massachu-
set,s woman arrived at Washington, to make
inquiries in reference to son Of hers. VINO
had been enlisted into the army under the
sge Of IS, and who, it seems. is peculisry
untitled for lie in the army. She made re-
peated attempts az the war office 70 get nm
back, but was met with Fl Il refusal. Fin
ally she applied to Mr.. Dawes. member of
Congress from Massachusetts, who had an
interview with the President ;'and the latter,
upon hearing the facts, and finding it a clear
case of hardship. at once ordered the dis
charge of the young man. His ntne is An
drew Lovejoy of Western Massachusetts.
Though not l6 years old, he was seduced
into the army by a substitute broker, who
took all but SO of the $500 which was paid
by the principal 1t was an Infamous out
rage. The boy, while on visit to New
Haven. Ct, being literally abducted, his
mother never seeing him afterwards; MIR.
Lincoln very promptly set it right.-Boston

will soon be undeceived, and will learn thai
he has undertaken more than he can accom-
plish, and that when ne sees the complete
failure Of the farce which his agents are now
playing in the City of Mexico, he will tind
himself compelled to retire from a country
which he has so rnjustly invaded. With re-
gard to ourselves, therefore, there can be but
one result, which will be verified sooner OF
later. 1t will inevitably be- the triumph Of
the holy cause of Mexican independence.
The French will soon fail of even the
church party. That party hoped, and TO a
certain extent with reason, that when the
French army should occupy the City of Mex
leo, the Imperial Government would annul
the laws of reform issued by the Liberal
Government; of that Republic, and, the frs,
thing, would restore to the clergy the prop
erty that had been taken from them and na-
tionaized and sold.
But it happened that among the persons
who had purchased the ecclesiastical proper
ty, there were a considerable number Of
French subjects, who would be injured by
restitution of that property, if it should take
place; and this consideration has led the
French Government, not only to ahrogate
the reform laws, but to prevent its satellites
who have assumed the name of regency oi
Mexico, from themselves attempting to alb.
rogate them. If, then, the French Govern
ment should persist in the policy " hich they
have commenced to follow, it will not be
long before the chuch party will begin t.,
make as decided opposition to the inierven-
ton, as they did year ago 20 the Constiiu.
tional Government.
In conclusion, there is one remark that
cannot be withheld. 1t is regarding the
striking similarity which exists between the
church party of Mexico and the slavery par
ty of the United States.
The church was there a power stronger
than the state; SO was slavery in this coun-
try. The church has there been the oni,
cause of our civil wars; so now is slavery
here. Tne church party in Mexico. after be-
ing conquered by the people. solicited foreign
intervention, in order to be re-established il
power; SO slavery in this country. as | un-
derstand, has sought foreign aid even before
being conquered by the Government OF the
United States.

Biting Colts.

Farmers often put biting harness on a
colt the first thing they do to him, buckling
up the biting as tight as they can draw il,
make him carry his head high. and then turn
him out in lot to run half day at time
This is one of the worst punishments that
they could infict On a colt, and very
injurious to young horse that has been
used to running in pasture with his head
down.
A horse should be well accustomed to the
bit 'efore you put on the biting harness, land
when you first bit him you should only rein
his head up TO that point where ne naturally
holds it, let that be high or low: he will learn
that he cannot lower his head and that ra;s-
ing it little will loosen the bit in his mouth.
This will give him the idea of raising his
head to loosen the bit, and then YOU can
draw the bit little tighter every time YOU
put it on, and he will still raise his head to
loosen it. By this means You will gradually
ge, his head and neck in the position YOU
wish him to carry it, and give him graceful
carriage, without hurting him, making him
angry or causing bis mouth to be sore.-
