correspondent OF the Country Gentleman,
a Lewis county farmer, writes:
After your horse is harnessed to the
carriage procure piece of webbing as
broad strap about ten feet long, fasten
it securely around the off foot below the
fetlock, then pass it up through the
girths and lay the end over the dash
board; see that everything is right ;
then, standing on the otf-side OF the wag,
on, take the strap in the right hand, and
proceed to get in; if the horse attempts
to start pull on the strap, at the same
time saying whoa" the strap brings
his foot up and makes pretty ettectuai
whoa :" slack up on the strap as soon as
you have stopped him, and if he at
tempts to start again repeat the opera
tion. When you have got ready to start
give the horse the word and go along
Repeat the operation until the horse
will stand perfectly quiet at the word
who" always remembering not to whip
your horse, but always treat him as you
would a friend-with perfect kindness,
and never say whoa" unless you want
your horse to stand perfectly still: No
man should undertake to break . horse
who cannot control his own temper.

War
Press Dispatch.]

New YORK, May 19.-The Tribune's
Washington special correspondent has
seen the forthcoming report OF the com,
mittee on the Conduct of the War, and
says the testimony on the Red River
campaign is of character most damag
ing to any military pretensions of Gen.
Banks. 1t demonstrates him to have
been guilty of mercenary motives, either
for the benefit of himself or friends, by
cotton speculations, Gen. Butler, in the
Fort Fisher affair, is substantially vim
dicated. Gen. Burnside is exonerated in
the Petersburg mine failure, which is
attributable to the lack of confidence on
the part of Gen. Meade The failure to
capture Lees army after the battle of
Gettysburg, by Gen. Meade, is attributed
to the same weakness. The massacre OF
the Cheyenne Indians. iu Colorado Terri
tory, by Col Cherington, is known to
have been brutal affair and a disgrace
to the country.
