New YoRK, Oct. 1O.-The Tribune's
Matamoras correspondent says on the 18th
Gaudalope Gorcia, who four years ago was
in command Of the forces on the Rio Grande,
arrived at Brownsville. lie reports that .
loan Of IS, 600, 900 has been effected by the
Liberals minister to the United States
He also says that arms and other warlike
material has been bought for the army. II
this be true, the loan will enable the Liberal
Government to raise and equip legion Of
from ten to twenty thousand men, and this
it has had in view for some time past.
Such a corps would enable it to regain all
the country north of Sourit.ten river before
the French force could collect adequate to
stop its progress.

Our Country.
BY ROBERT BON.

My. country, let my feeble strain arise
10 sing the praises of thy honored name;
Whose deeds of justice doth our hearts inspire
To kindle in our breast the patriot fame
Land of our fathers, whose illustrlous names
Shine forth upon the record OF the past,
To thee all loyal hearts their tribute pay;
But they themselves seem but too good to last
This be thy theme, the Country and the cause
For which her noble sons have fought and
died;
To blot foul Treason from our sacred soil,
And spread the welcome tidings far and wide.
Our country firm as granite hills shall stand.
Unsullied among the nations of the World ;
And nations round shall mark its rising course,
And glory shines where'e err that flags I'M
flrled.
Departed statesmen, It's my earnest wish
To praise the lustre of thy bright career;
Thy stirring tones still echo from afar
As thunder's warning the storm is near.
Illustrious dead though meath the sod are laid
Their names still shine upon bright History $
page;
Their noble deeds are praised by millions round
In every cline, by every tongue and age.

Bushels of Indian corn.

It's a curious fact, that lands of Brooke,
and Ohio lone with large city, the 9TH
er having no toWns) are almost precise
ly alike in price, in exact proportion to
the number of sheep kept; while those
of Hancock, with tiocks 40 per cent. less
numerous, lose ten dollars per acre in
value; and those of Marshall, with one
fourth the number Of sheep in twice the
area, have less than half the value, or
twenty dollars per acre.
1t cannot be said here that sparseness
of population accounts for diminished
values and products. Hancock has a
population of 4, 445, and Marshall of 49,
997, giving slight advantage to Mar
shall; Brooke has 5, 494, and Ohio 3, 422;
yet the price of their lands is the same.
1t would seem that the population of
Wheeling have less influence than the
flocks Of the neighboring farms in raising
the price of the lands of the county.
The mountain regions are unexcelled
as sheep walks, and are beginning to be
improved as such. Preston has 1904,
Monroe 1928, Greenbrier 16,O67, Pen
dleton IA, 143. The whole State is walk
ing up to the fact of it's peculiar adapta-
ton to this business. Yet it is only
beginning that has been made. The
number of sheep already there (453, 1884
in 1862 is but a moiety of the number
that will at some time contribute their
triple munificence of fertilization to the
soil, and food and raiment to the people,
to bless this new Alleghanian State.

Il Mule Mare sCSth u Colt.

The Fort Wayne (Indiana) Gazette of
the Goth ult., gives the following remark
able story, for the correction of which it
vouches:
It may be of some interest to stock
growers to know that Mr.. Robert Ben
nett of this city, hasa mule with young
colt, the latter about four weeks DID,
The fact is quite remarkable and worth
remembering. There is no mistake
about the matter-the mule is the moth
er of the colt. Mr.. Conklin, the Photo
grapher, brought us photograph ofthe
animals this morning-a remarkable
good picture-the colt 'imbibing' a
breakfast, and the mother tied to-a post
with a halter. The picture may be seen
at cur office. 1t ought to be secured by
the Agricultural Society.

RIGHTS OF NoN-REPoRTING DRAFT
ED MEN.sAt Philadelphia on Monday,
inthe court of Nisi Prius, Justice Thomp-
son filed the following opinion:
I have been asked to-day my opinion
as to the right of what is called non-re-
porting drafted men to vote. The quail
ifications required by our State Constitu-
lions are the only ones that judges Of
election are to look to. Congress cannot
addt them nor diminish them. In that
instrument no Acknowledgement for any
such cause is found, and no Judge of an
election will be justified in excluding
from the right to vote any person being
otherwise qualified and not excluded by
the very terms Of the Constitution. 1t
would be absurd to expect an election
board to stop the progress of the polls to
try fact like that of an illegal draft and
failure to report. They have no urisdic-
ton of any such question, there being
no Acknowledgement arising in the Con-
stitution for any such cause.

Hon. i. 3. HALL-Dedr Sir: i was
presentat meeting held here on Thurs
day last. Mr.. Chapline, oneof the speak
erswho addressed themeeting stated that
"you had pledged yourself to sustain all
suits instituted against rebels in this
Judicial Circuit, in the event of your
election;' now, this appears to be SO
unwise and unjust, that your friends
here are anxious to know whether you
have SO pledged Yourself, or not. / can
not believe it till 1 Near or read it from
yourself. Solomon says, that "whoso
decideth a cause before he heareth the
evidence, showeth himself a fool."-
Please inform us as to the truth of the
above assertion of Mr.. Chapline, as soon
as convenient, and oblige, your friend,

,SilEs to be more Costly.

The London Pail Mall Gazette says:-
ssThe silk-breeders of France are, we are
told, in position of the greatest distress.
A strange disease, which has reappeared
among the worms from time to time
notably in 1858 and 17lO--has, since 1860,
recommended its ravages, till the price
of seed has risen ten-fold, and the demand
for mulberry leaves has so fallen off that
the planters threaten to cut down the
trees and use the land for some more
profitable cultivation. The disease shows
itself, according to Il petition analysed
i'll the China Telegraph, just as the worm
is about to begin the cocoon, SO that the
breeder has the trouble of rearing, for
nothing, and has to purchase seed, as it
We're, in the dark. Repeated expert
ments seem to prove that the only seed
which can be trusted is that from Japan,
and the breeders therefore pray the state
to aid them by bringing home their
supplies in men-of-war. 1t seems prob
able that this request will be granted,
and also that the evil which has spread
throughall silk-growing countries, except
Japan, is not temporary, but may last
as long as the potato-rot and the odium.
The real obstacle to silk-groWing seems
to be the slow growth of the mulberry.
The worms will live and work in most
countries, but they want mulberry
leaves, and nobody is willing to plant
orchards which will not bear for twenty
five years. 1t would be no matter of
surprise if silk in the next generation
became as costly as under the Roman
empire, and a silk dress as complete a
test Of wealth as it was POO years ago."

An opening in the woods, with the least
exposure OF the surface to the sun, is inn
mediate!y covered with a carpet ofgreen.
Vegetation is everywhere luXuriant as
the farmer could desire.
Brooke county lands are of equal fertil-
ity and value, and show a similar range
of products, with larger yield of woo,
corn, and wheat, and a greater value of
live stock and slaughtered animals.
OF the peculiar adoption of the noun
tain slopes and valleys of Virginia to
sheep husbandry, there is abundant evil
ed population, this interest, by inevita-
BILE gravitation, has settled down into a
permanent and prominent place in farm
industry. The ''Panhandle" furnishes
a notable illustration:

MANY republican papers have omitted
to publish President Johnson'sspeecht to
the Southern delegation. They de-
nounce him for the speech and refuse to
let their readers see the cause of the de-.
nunciation. They condemn him with
out letting him be heard in his own jus
tification. He is their own president,
but they could not treat even Vallan-
bingham worse.

The area of a county of average size,
little more than five hundred square
miles, with PSI ,139 acres in farm lands
supports 1904 sheep-one for every
three acres of the entire tract, inclusive
of wild or waste lands; one for every
two and half acres of the actual farm
ing lands; and in the three counties
above Wheeling, one for every acre and
a half. In fact, for 10, 400 acres of inn
proved land in Hancock, Brooke, and
Ohio, those counties have 1O2, O72 sheep,
almost an acre to each sheep, rivalling
England itself In numbers compared
with area, and far distancing Ohio,
whose productive acres are more popu-
lous with sheep than any State in the
Union, having eight acres to each sheep
in 1860, with a great increase since.
This would look like giving up pasture
and field to sheep, and leaving no place
for cattle or grain; but, no-there is UNI
doubtedly more of these products than
if the sheep were absent, the flocks of
the farm adding more to its fertility than
they subtract from it. The following
table shows that sheep husbandry tends
to no diminution In price of lands, or ex-
tent or variety Of farmproducts:

MuCH Is said in various quarters, of the struC-
gle between Louisville aud ST. Louis to secure the
trade of Tennessee. Doubtless they would be glad
TO get it. even jointly, and the movements of the
railroad company from the State line to Louisville,
show the earnestness Of the latter city, in the
competition. But nature tells Tennessee that its
trade should follow the course of the Missis,ippi
river, both export and import and we hope the day
is not distant when the surplus products Of this
State will all find market ON the Gulf and re-
ecive its imports at the point. Natural adj
Vantagcs and obvious interest point to this as the
true policy and we can not see what particular ad

secure the blessings Of peace, utility and harmony
with great enjoyment Of civil liberty; and,
whereas our Heavenly Father has also during the
past year graciousy averted from us the ealamties

and holiness.
In testimony whereof have hereunto set my
