The Prussian Army.
70 the Editors Of the Erening Post:

~ We IttttOTS " Wc ACenEU9 4 OSt.
One of the most distinguished of our
generals in the West, during the civil war,
who travelled in Germany and France on
the eve Of the war between Prussia and
Austria, has recently sent letter to this
country, from which the following extract
will interest the public: ..s
"There is no doubt that the two main
factors of the amazing success of the Prus-
slams over the Austrians have been the &C
tual nationality of the army (which in Prus-
gently as well as stringently organized, and
inspirited by the great cause of Germany
The universal system of education estab-
lished for the resuscitation of Prussia, after
the ruin of the battle of Jena, has borne
its fruit at Sadowa. These two great ele-
mants, however, are wanting in the Aus
trian army. .,.......

and from what have seen I can understand
very readily that they were victorious
everywhere. Brilliant spirit, most perfect
discipline, bravery and general fitness for
soldering and campaigning, above all, in

istic sign of that nonparell army to which
every able-bodied man belongs. .a'

mics of the Austrian and 4 say it without
hesitation) the French armies all nicely
dressed and splendidly set up, true enough,
but no books and no maps and no news
papers, no discussion on political topics
among them. All this is universal in the
Prussian army. The Emperor Napoleon
this all very well, and he there
fore is the most peaceful man in France !;
but at the same time he is making breech-

NEssEE.-BostOn, Sept. 12.-The South
ern Loyalists" from the Philadelphia Con-
vention had a reception this evening.
Horace Maynard advocated the perpetual
exclusion from political power Of all who
voluntarily participated in the rebellion.
Governor Brownlow spoke of a conven-
ton OF rebels and copperheads that is to
meet at Nashville to overthrow the State
government. He had notified Seward of
this convention, but he had replied in
sneering and contemptuous letter, which
the speaker would shortly publish to the
world. However, he would call an extra
session of his Legislature, and would meet
that convention, III their efforts to over
throw his government, fully armed. He
had already applied to a Governor of a
Northern State for ten thousand arms, and
backed by thirty thousand boys in blue, he
had no fear of the result, unless the federal
government sent down its troops, led by
a copperhead general, if such could be
found. He concluded by declaring that
the hope of the South was in the elections
of the North, and he conjured the citizens
that if two Radicals we've before them as
candidates, to vote for the one that was
most radical.

Meeting OF the Governors-Is There Not
Revolution Ahead

meeting Oh the SOVernOfS-AS 1here rot
Revolution Ahead!
Tom the New York Herald of Saturday.
The secret conclave of the Radical Gov
errors of the Northern States in Philadel-
phia, after the adjournment of the Con-
ventiOn on Tuesday last, is one of the most
significant and alarming signs of the times.
4 portion of the proceedings leaked out,
and the correspondent of the Herald gave the
public the benefit of that on Wednesday
last. But we have the strongest reasons
for saying that the question then ventilated
aboutdoGging suffrage was notthe only
or most important one discussed by this con-
clave. 1t is understood that a revolutionary
programme was entertained looking to fu-
ture political contingencies that is, to pre-
pare arms and efficient armed State organi-
cations for a conflict with the Conservatives,
and possibly with the President in the
event of the Radicals being in danger of
losing their power through the result of the
fall elections. It is evident that these really
dangerous leaders of dangerous party are
determined to hold on to their power at all
hazards for, as Governor Cony, of Maine,
said, if they lose it now then all is lost"
They are doubtless prepared to impeach
and remove the President and to place Ben
Wade or some other violent Jacobin in his
place, and would resist the legitimate pow
er of the Executive to the extent of calling
out the militia of the States.
Eleven Governors of States, besides ex-
Governors and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES COM
posed this new secret Jacobin club. The
violent deciamatiOns of the miserable fire
brands, male and female, black and white
in the Convention and at public meetings
in Philadelphia, might not be regarded as
very serious but it is far different with the
secret meeting of body of men who have
the executive power of eleven Northern
States in their hands.
There is danger ahead, and it behooves
the Conservative masses of the North to
look to it. As to the South, there is no
danger there. The people of that section
have experienced the horrors Of civil war
to such degree and are so thoroughly
subdued that they will not try rebellion
again. The danger is at home We may
have, before we are aware of it, bloody
civil war in every State, county and city of
the North.

Care of Store Hogs in Winter.


Store hogs, especially shoats, re-
ally ought to have warm and dry apart
ments during cold weather. Their
thin coat of hair offords them but
little protection, hence, the import,
ance of warm pig-sties, well Uttered
with dry straw, and so tight that cold
winds will not blow directly on them
IL is far more economical to keep the
animals warm in snug and we'll
ventilated piggery than by extra
feed, and this will promote faster
growth, if they are kept comfortably
warm by good building. When a
piggery is spac; ;ou-, with one end open
to the wea'he so that winds make
their sleeping place uncomfortably
cold, portion shou d be partitioned
off with boards ha ing the edges well
iointed, and a narrow entranse made
at the point least exp pnsed. Then nail
board 6 or s inches high across the
bottom of the entrahc to keep the
straw from beiog worked out. Let
liberal supply of straw always be
prov ded.
1t will pay we'll to cook the feed
for store hogs, as well as for those
that are being fattened. Swine will
rot extract all the nourishment from
dry corn unless it is first ground to
fine meal; and even then It will be
much more econ mical to scald it
AS farmers must necessarily keep a
good fire in the kitchen for a large
proportion ofthe time during the day,
the expense of cooking feed for a
small herd of swine in cold weather
is much less than the gain over feed
ing with uncookcd food. Raw pota-
toes are frequently fed to store
shoats. If the same quantity W re
boiled, and few handfuls of meal
mixed with them as they are masht d,
and warm dish water mingled with
the mass, not more than two-thirds
the amount would be required to keep
pigs in growing and thrifty condi-
tion. The cooking costs nothing, as
farmer or some of his help can at
tend to the business when there arc no
other duties to perform. If grain is
not ground, let it be boiled until the
kernels cracF open. Those who have
never practised cooking feed, will be
surprised to fnl the marked differ
ence there will be in the quantity of
feed consumed, and the condition of
the animals.

Sowing Rye Late in the Season.

Winter rye, though not properly a
biennial PLAN, nevertheless requires
a portion Of two seasons 70 come to
perfection. To secure remunerative
crops it is usually necessary to put
in the seed earl y in autumn or very
late, just before the ground freezes
up. With this statement we think
all who have much experience will
agree as also. to the statement that
the rye most apt to winter kill is that
which being sown in the intermediate
time October or November,) makes
only a small growth Of either tops or
roots before the ground freezes up.
Even his sometimes does very we'll,
especially if a heavy fall of snow
blankets it during the winter. How
ever, when che seed is put in after
the growing season has past, so that
it will not germinate until the spring,
and com ng up at almost exactly the
same time, would not. We have
practised raising winter rye n this
manner with the most satisfactory re-
suits. Plow the ground as late as
possible in the season before it free
zes. narrowing in thin top-drsssing
of well-rOotcd barnyard man re, and
SOW the seed broadcast or in drills. -
The manure should be as well rotted.
or composted for rye, as for a crop
of wheat. lfthe manure is rather
coarse, better plJw it under, as it wi
be more completely covered than if
narrowed in, unless, indeed, you use
a Shares harrow and go over the
field twice before sowing. Wherever
the ground is very wet, it should be
underdrained, if practicable. 9th
ervise let it be plowed, and the mid
die furrows cleaned out before seed
ing. one of the be crops of rye
that the writer ever saw was raised
by sowing the seed in December, only
one day previous to the falling of a
deep snow which remained on the
ground until the next spring. Soon
after the snow disappeared, the rye
came up, having suffered no injury
from the freezing and thawing Of the
soil.
This mode of raising rye can be
followed with better success on wet
land, than if the seed is sowed early;
still, better crops can be raised by
ee1ing with spring rye, if good seed
can be procured. White winter rye
can now be obtained in most of our
large cities at the seed stores. One
an a h If bushel per acre is suffi-
'cient if distribute evenly, provided
the seed is good and kernels small.
If the kernels are unusually large,
seven pecks will be none too much
for one acre.
