Cuftiyatine Prairies without Fences.

Guilty. ating Prairies Without Fences.
Daniel E. Rodgers, Watham, La Sale Co.,
ILL.,, sends the following good sense to every
resident of the Prairie State:
81" wish the Club would continue to keep it
before the people and the people before the
Club, that farm fences are one remnant OF bar
barism, and a man who runs his cattle, hogs,
or other stock upon the highways or commons
without herdsmen, is another. have no faith
in legislaiing reforms, but the press and other
agencies that can reach the ear, and influence
the action Of public sentiment, are the tools to
work with. The periodical minutes of the
Club are more welcome and are read with a
deeper interest than any farming paper in the
land, and their enormous circulation give them
Q power second to none. Through their means
we hope to some day rid this prairie of the
two nuisances mentioned, peculiarly trouble
some here, where lumber is so high, and farm
labor SO scarce, and at present SO worthless.
alt costs to day $4,000 to surround and
cross fence into eighty acre lots section (640
acres) of land, saying nothing about dividing
it into lots for pasturing, &c.-enough to build a
good, yes, a fine house and barn on every
quarter, and nine-tenths of this expense Of
feeding is useless waste of lumber and time,
rs far as the owner is concerned; only if he
don't build this barrier-this Chinese wall

upon him, and eat up his crops, trample bis
meadows, rub down his fruit trees, and howl
at his front door for the little he may have in
side the house. And this in a country to which
we are proudly inviting those who are seeking
homes, cheap bomes-to come, and find plen-
ty. Some counties in the State have, by com.
mon consent, adopted the rule of no fences
no law about it, except that sternest Of laws
public OPTION. Livingston County is just now
the poor mans paradise; for, though he may
be fifty miles from wood, coal, stone, lumber
lime, tree, bush, or stream of water, and have
to burn rosin weed for fuel, he can ride all day
of Summer through miles of stalwart corn
its tassels almost brushing him on either side
or through a sea of wheat, aud all perfectly
defenceless, and then great peace shall come
over him, and he shall realize that millennium
when the cattle, and the hogs, and the corr
shall lie down together. and small boy shall
tend them. The subject is exhaustless. Blu
have written too much about it already"
We don't think so. The subject can neve
be written about, too much. We wish a hun
DIRE men would write hundred letters ever,
day, until the weight of their arguments would
overwhelm the baibarians who turn their cattle
loose to prey upon honest men who are dis
posed to dispense with the foolish fashion o
fencing such a country as the Illinois prairie.-

f. NJ. SrANroN.-"Occasional," WASH
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press (Col. Forney) vindicating the war
minister, says:
"The great crime Of Edwin N. Stanton
is that he has gone too far in his strong
devotion to his country. This, however
they may attempt to conceal II, is his
offense in the eyes Of the enemies OF free
government. l do not deny. while l
deeply deplore, that there is at least one
brave soldier. covered with unfading
laurels, who has allowed himself to be
BETRAYED into open ~denunciation of Mr..
Stanton but, if he will not see, what the
country now realizes, that the Secretary
of War, in his relation to the subject
which has awakened the resentment OF
that oficer-I mean General w. I. Sher-
man-was actuated by no other motive
but that of warding off the consequences
of what ninety-nine Union men out OF
every hundred believed to be q disastrous
arrangement-if he will not now admit
this fact, the time will come, l predict,
when the natural candor and magnanimity
of that great soldier will constrain him TO
see it and prompt him boldly to make
known this conclusion. When Edwin
NJ. Stanton's record is made up, the good
men who have been misled by the clamor
of his enemies will be mortified that they
should ever have doubted him. There
is not a blot upon his character, public or
private
