Fences,

As this is the season for building and re-
pairing fences, PROPOSE with your permis-
sion, to offer few remarks on the above OBJ
ject ...l,. H., .....7 ...,.. ..,..J.....,
OF the various kinds of fences, I propose
TO speak of but one namely, the hat-rail fen
CO. 1t is cheaper fence than either the
plank or worm (or zigzig) fence, and equally
az durable The rails are split eight feet
long, six inches wide, two or two and a halt
inches thickG and 'fattened at the end, 50 that
they can be nailed to the post--using six rails
per panel, or twelve to the rod, the fence be-
ing put up the same as the plank fence, tn
rails being put on all on one side, and not as
some do, one onSone side and then onebn the
other. Oak, locdst%o cedar posts CAM be
used prefer locust. The cost Of such a
fence is from thirty to sixty cents less per rod
than plank fence; and it takes from eight
to twelve rails less than tbe3worm fence per
rod, besides difference Of eight or ten feet
less OF ground in its occupation, and the saw
ing of great amount of labor in keeping
the fence from weeds, briars, &c, and if well
put up, looks nearly as well on farm as a
common plank fence, and great deal better
than worm fence.
Let the farmers try it. 1t is growing in fa-
vor among farmers who have seen it used
Some farmers even go so far as to cut off and
fatten, their common rails and convert them
into fiat rail fences; as they occupy so much
less ground and save 80 much labor in keep
ing the fences clear. 1t also adds greatly TO
the locks of farm in giving neat and trim
appearance Farmer. '',''' ',-

If you desire to get large yield of rich
milk, give your cow ttEee times q day, water
slightly warm, little salted, in which bran
has been stirred at the rate of one quart to

have never tried this daily practice, that your

The friends of Mr.. G. w. Blunt, the caDdi-

ted vigorously at Washington against the ap-

This and other things coming to the knowi-

true he resisted the election of the republican
candidates last autumn, and voted tor
Mcclellan and Penileton that if he was APP

tinct understanding that he was q democrat

in conclusion, he asked to be permitted to re-

Can't. Writ and MIR. stanton.

According to the testimony thus far ad-
duced before the military commission trying
Capt. Writ, he is brute and tyrant of the
deepest dye. 1t almost freezes one's blood to
read the evidence exhibiting the treatment
of the Union soldiers at Andersonville. I'm
less the witnesses the most unblushing
per- urers, such record of cruelty has
rarely been made 10 any country. Making
all due allowance for the real scarcity OF food
In the south, and the difficulty of providing
proper supplies for the prisoners, there is
sufficient proof to show that the prison
thorities did not exert themselves TO do what
even they could have done Tor the comfort
and health of their captives. The discipline
was arbitrary and severe beyond parallel
The sick were almost totally neglected. The
dead were allowed to rot without decent inter-
meut, and the unwholesome exhalations from
their bodies to swell the current and volume
of noxious vapors already great and terrible
from the garbage aud filth of the prison.
Medicines and supplies of food furnished by
the rebel government were withheld, and, in
short, if the neglect and barbarous treatment
of the Union soldiers were not actually de-
signed as means of reducing the federal
army, they were pursued in individual cases
to such an extent as to certainly bear the APP
pearanoe of a pre.arranged system.
1t is with no design of attempting to excuse
or palliate the charges against Writ that we
recall the fact that great amount. if not all,
the mortality and suffering experienced by
our troops at Andersonvie could have been
prevented but for the obstinacy of certain Of
hciais belonging to our government. Not
long ago Mr.. Junius H. Browne, who, with
another correspondent of the New York Tri
o"''e' Mr.. Richardson, has been a prisoner in
sne SOUTH published an article in the paper
