CLEAN MILKING. 1t is sometimes for
gotten that the last gill of milk drawn from
the cows udder is tine best part of every
milking. Careful experiments made in
England show, laccording to a report lately
published) that the quality of cream obtain
ed from the last cup taken from most cows
exceeds that of the first in proportion Of
llessly leaves but half pint of milk undrawn
would be afforded by six or eight pints at
the beginning and loses too that part of
the cream which gives the richness and fla
Yor TO the butter.

TIE "grard confidence" as regards the
smashing out of this rebellion is becoming
as visible as sunlight. There are very few
people We opine who doubt the result now.
The situation is mathematical. A clear
case of compression is obvious. The
strangula,ion of the armed confederate
power is daily imminent. 1t may be post
poned few weeks-perhaps two or three
montbs-but we doubt it, The odds are
too tremendously on our side and every
day increases the disproportiOn. lit were
not for the fact that Robert E. Lee is in
chief command of the rebel forces there
would be scarcely one who still doubts
He is tower of strength to the waning
prospects of the rebels, if so be that we
can speak of tower of strength appropri.
ately in such forlOrn connection. Bot
Gen. Lee cannot create anything out of
nothing. He cannot number that which is
lacking. He cannot save rebellion from
which the arms and legs have been cut,
and from which the thighs, shoulders and
entrails are being taken. The heart of the
coufederacy barely beats. The head is
dreadfulIy bruised. The vital spark may be
extipguished any day at all now.

THE loyal State OF Virginia, represented
DO Gov. Peirpoinrs government at Alex
hndriu, has right to complain of breach
OF faith iu tho refusal Of the Senate to ac-
cept its Senators. Congress recognised
this government two years ego, and there
by West Virginia came into existence as
State, and it now holds on to the child
but repudiates the mother. Senator Will
son stated the case truly when the matter
was before the Senate on the 18th ult;-
Il understand this question to stand in
this way: The Congress Of the United
States recognized political government
IN Virginia, or portion CT it; as the State
Of Virginia proper. On tho strength of
that recognition, men were admitted into
this Senate and into the other House. On
the strength Of il we made West Virginia a
State, and brought her into the Union, and
she is in the Union to day. 1t seems to
me, therefore, that We are bound by ali our
votes during the last three years to con.
slider the Governor and Legislature of Viz
GINA as existing.
'As regards the proclamation of the
president, so much of Virginia as was not
occupied by our forces was declared In re.
belion but that portion Of it held or to be
held by our armies Was not declared in re-
helllon; and the moment a square mile of
Virginia is occupied by our armies, by the
very terms OF the proclamation it Is no
longer in rebellion. This great part of Viz
gina is at war with the government of the
United States, and ut war with the state
government of Virginia precisely as much
as tits at war with the government of the
United Statss. These rebels are at war with
Gov. PierpOiut aud the legislature that has
sent this gentleman here who claims seat.
just as much as they are at war with Mr.
Lincoln aud the Congress of the United
States. am willing TO have this question
examined, because l think the Committee
ought to examine it, and ought to report
the facts; hut my understanding of the
facts is as have stated and unless some
thing il shown to the contrary, 1 feel bound
TO recogniEs Gov, Pisrpoint and the leUis.
lature and the political government Of the
old state OF Virginia."
The reply to the argument lately much |
used 10 the Senate, that senators aud rem. |
resen'atives ought not to be admitted from |
any state until the president prOclaims it |
no longer in insurrsction, lis well answered
by Mr.. Wilson. The fact that they are not
in resurrection, but sustain loyal gov. |
eFuuens Of their own, is sufficient without
a proclamation.

tbs unwillinguess of the United States
Senate to consent to an increase of sala-
FieS of the House employees las provoked
some comparison of the expenses of the
two bodies, and it is found that it costs
$4,000 to furnish the SO senators with
stationery, while the lO2 members of the
House get along with $4,000; and that
the senatorial mileage is big thing, it
costing Senators Lane and Pomeroy of
Kansas S2l6o each to reach Washington,
while the Kansas representative, Mr.
Wilder, comes City miles further for s127s
Other similar comparisons are made, which
do not show superior economy or virtue

We are assured also that the difficulty
arose with one or two Students firing at a
mark too near the residence of a proni-

noyance into an intention on the part OF
the students to persecute him. A report
from WelIsburg yesterday stated that the

Free Trade,

We trust that the day is not far dis
tant when the taxes and burdens which
so seriously embarrass our trade will be
removed. We desire and would have
absolute free trade with the loyal oiti-
zeus of the North The Government
tax on importations into Memphis, is q
serious imposition on our mercantile
pursuits. Our merchants are required
TO pay all the Government tax which is
exacted elsewhere, and in addition an
enormous burden of three per cent upon
the gross amount of supplies brought
here. The present policy seems to have
been devised in an exceedingly ilhberal
spirit 1t started out on the assump-
ton that the people in the rebellious
districts had no. rights except to be
made to bear burdens, and in no other
way could be reached by taxation; but
soon the officers of Governments came
along, and began to collect here as else
where, whatever the Government exact
ed, in the shape of taxes on incomes,
salaries, &c. We claim, therefore, as q
matter of Justice and right, our people
should no longer be required to bear
burdens that are grievous and unjust
AelspAis Bulletin.
We do not clearly understand the
cause of this imposition on the business
Of Memphis.
We understand that Tennessee is q
loyal State, regularly organized in the
Union, and We can see no proprie.y in
burdening her people with extra taxes,

The Committee say: "Any article of
the most triaing value that comes from
the willing hand of a warm-hearted
child, will be welcome. Let each child
devise something that will be attractive,
and it will meet witb~a ready sale.
Let each child contribute ten cents,
