I SALT FOR SToCK.--Having shown the necess ty
for the artificial supply Of salt to stock under Or
binary circumstances, We have one or two pecu-
| liar instances to mention which 20 to confirm the
views We stated IN previous number. A horse
belonging to friend of ours kept dozen miles
from Boston, was observed to lick bis blanket, Of
ter he had come into the stable 10 heated cor
dilon. This went on for some time without al
trfc,ing much remark, TIL he had actually de-
| suoyed a wooden blanket with which be was Gov.
cred. He would also lick the perspira,ion from
all part, Of his body that he could get at actually
keeping himself wet Tor a long time,
Now it is known that preparation actually con-
tains very considerable amount of salt Every
person has probably noticed it, asst comes in con
tact with the tongue. The owner OF this horse
made enquiries as to the salt which WAS usually
kept in the barn chamber, and from which he hal
directed small portion to be given him twice a
week. lie found that it had been all gone for
some weeks, without his knowledge. When the
requisite quantity Of salt was again furnished, this
habit Of the horse ceased. Again, another &C
quantance found that his horse would con-
SANITY lick himself and often appear to be wet all
over. Being surprised at 80 sing lar a habit be
applied to veterinary surgeon, and was at once
informed that il was owing to the want Of salt.
o. giving salt tins habit OF the horse ceased.
These are facts within our knowledge, and they
are suggestive ones, too. We know all the par
ties under twhose eyes they occurred, and can
vouch for Their accuracy. They add to the
"prooi" which our correspondent called for
| We took occasion to caution farmers against
giving too much salt, as as after it had been kept
for some time from stock Of any kind they would
be l.able to take too much. A lump of rock salt
kept constantly before the animal, or where be
can have access to it, Is the best form in which
to supply it. 1t may be fastened to some rock in
the pasture, where the cattle can go and lick it as
they require. The rains do 10! dissolve it.
But our correspondent minated that some
farmers could not recognize salt as to0d. Ger

system, and - important to supply artificial

claims rank as food 1t exists in the muscles, il

an accident there, but constant anatomical con

known that without salt man would mserabl,

Indeed, so very important are the vices 0

The Peace Hission of Frank P. Plair.

Our readers arc uware of the recent presence in
Richmond of GOLD BLAIR as he is familiarly
and generally known, on mission of some sort,
which the wiseacrcs have pronounced that OF
Peace. 1t was said he came with the approbation
of LINCOLN, to induce our authorities to send
Commissioners 10 Washington and open negOtia-
tons on the subject of bringing the war to an end,
However this may be, and whatever reply may
have been given to his supposed overiurcs, is a
matter WHICH will end in naught. The whole al
fair is ended, in our opinion, and We wish TO direct
the attention of our readers TO the comments from
the Northern press on the subject, in our columns
to-day From the spirit and temper CT these lead
ing journals We may well conclude that there IS
only one path for US to pursue, and Hat is in
sole reliance upon ourselves to blaze the way to
.indepcndcnce. Less than independence We cannot
agree to- and this the Yankees know full well.

The Recent Freshet.

7 The damage done by the heavy rains, some three
4 Yeekssago, was incalculable. From almost every
4 section we hear Of enormous losses sustained and
particularly upon the railroads in North Carolina
and this State. The. interruption Of communica-
tion and forwarding of supplies to Gen. LESS ar
my he's caused serious inconvenience; and as the
people Of this section have received only partial
accounts We think It proper to advert briefly to
the extensive damages sustained.
The long tres!le at Kingsville, on the South Ca
rolna Railroad, WIS washed away, but we presume
! has been repaired ere this. The Charlotte. and
South Carolina Railroad alsosuFsrod, but has been
repaired. Two bridges on tie North Carolina
Central Roa,, were carried OF, and we learn that
twcnt y-four miles Of the Piedmont Road from
Greensboro, N. c., to DanYille, Va., entirely
demolished. The latter IS probably rebuilt.
The Grecnville and Columbia Railroad suffered
greatly All the trestle work between Aston and
Coumbia was swept completely, and we learn that
in some places the track yas left in deep 1ayines'
resembling an old railroad cut Between Chap
pell's Depot ard salYla B-iags the trestiing was
removed, and that about Hurricane Greek, between
Wiliamston end Greengillo, wes destroyed. The
carr, 6oveyer, aro now running from GrsenYille to
Aston. Theshcayiest loss sustained by this Com
pany is upon the Anderson Branch. Tho rock
masonry splendid piece of wOrl-at the trestle
over Broadway, caycd in, and is nov totclwreek.
It will require some months to repai. the damage
at Broadway and erect even e temporary affair
We understand thut repairs are being energeti-
cally made between Aston and. Columbia, and in
few weeks, it is believed, the trains will make reg
ular trips over the main line. The great incon-
yenience 10 our people and to soldiers arriving
home on furlough, should induce the authorities to
hasten its completion. We presume a temporary
arrangement will be effected to-ransport the mails
and passengers frora this point to Bolton.
Thropghout.the up-country, there has been con
siderable loss in the injury done 10 mills and
bridges. Tie weters were higher then since 1852,
and in some instances sTsept cT bridges and broke
l!-dams that remained mistaken ct that period.

Lata and Interesting Rumors.

For the past week our town has been favored
with an unusual quantity of fintcrestiag rumors,
brought by the ssreliable gentleman" who is nov
making regular trips over the Grccnvilie Railroad
he is quite industrious in supplying the want of
mail facilities, and seems determined on keeping
us alive with exciting itcms. A few days ago it
was hcralded amongst US, as positive and un-
qualified fact, thatan arntsticO of sixty days had
been agreed upon, and Commissioners appointed
by both begcrcnts, to settle "thc little existing
difficulties % between ourselves and the Yankees. Ii
tyue this would be very good, provided our cunning
enemy did not outwit US in the bargain to be made
in the settlement. This runor is yet aapat, and
we give it for what it is worth.
Recognition rumors are again on the tapis incon-

Ncarly four years ago the Iatclligencsr was sus-
pended indefinitely. Both editors had volunteered
in the army, and her-thought of returning to
the editorial tripod until circumstances rendered it
: Just and necessary: oneof them has been disa-
sbled from service in the field; and in accordance
with the expressed desire of many citizens of the
District the publication of this journal is hereby
resumed.
We think it entirely unnecessary to enter into
detail as regards the positions shall assume on
the several existing political questions, which are
being agitatedi some portions of the COnfedera-
Soy. Suffice it, that we are in favor of manful
sistanoe in this struggle for liberty and indepen-
dence; that oil our energies and resources should
be employed TO render usforever free from the do
minion ofatyrannical majority, who seek to en-
slave us and our posterity; that. in our opinion,
the, struggle, which has been so nObly sustained
during four years of war, unparalleled in ferocity
and dmagnitude, will decide our very existence as e.
people, and either make us Independent and pros.
porous as o nation, respected for its power. and
Importance, or degrade the survivors to the condi-
ton of yassals and dependents. No intermediate
point can be reached and there is only delusion
( sand danger when We begin to think otherwise. To
complete our independence and attain the full
measure of success, it is only necessary that the
spirit of fhe people be not weakencd-that the gal
= liant heroes of an hundred battlc-felds, WHO have
so often defeated enemies in conflict and whose
infexible purpose has never been subducd, be not

81 at home-that though defeat and disaster may cause
ss to drink yet deeper of the bitter dregs, there
:ill never be found any less determination on our
art to secure the blessings of liberty and transmit
oposterity the glorious heritage of freedom. This
IS the spirit which will carry triumphant through
the fiery ordeal, intensified beyond all that has
been presented heretofore. And this may be re
qIsed of the Southern people, ere the dawn Of
lighl breaks through the sombrc clouds now hang
