of seeing his cattle in condition credit.
able TO his care and skill as a grazier
Pastures of such long standing as to
have formed a close, compact, and heavy
sod, of the indigenous grasses, will fat.
| ten larger number of cattle than the
same extent of similar lands recently
laid down in grass. The size of the cattle
is likewise another consideration to be
taken into the account, as the same fields
will pasture we'll greater number OF
small cattle than of large ones.
The excellence Of "old sod" for the
purpose of grazing is due rather, l an
inclined to think, to the greater quanti-
ty and better condition of the grass it
furnishes, than to any instrinsic superb
ority in its nutritive qualities over SINH
lar grasses recently set Upon rich
land, which has long remained undis-
turbed by the plough, the artificial will,
in great measure, have given place to
the natural grasses, and these rarely
attain such size and rankness of growth
as TO render them distastefnl to the cat
Tie. Again owing Ia the number and
vlgor OF the roots of these indigenous
grasses. they are able daily to furnish n
fresh supply of food, however closely
they may be grazed.
The relative fattening qualities of diff.
erent pastures, however, seem TO depend
more upon the character of the soil upon
which they grow, than upon the kind of
grasses composing them or the age. In
this country, the best grazing farms are
composed of what is popularity denomin-
ated Slate lands. They are heavy clay
loan, generally underlayed by stratum
of so p-stone Ofcourse the richer these
lands are, the greater number of animals
will they sustain to a given area; yet
the nutritive qualities of the grass they
yield, seem to be independant of the fer
tility of the soil. l know some lands Of
this class, which arc by no means rich,
yet they fatten cattle admirably.

tive rather than exhaustive of the sub
ject, l shall trespass no farther upon

Seizure OF n Supposed Chiiiaui FTiva-
1spr.

NEv Y0RT, Jan. 23-The Commercial
gives further particulars regarding the
seizure of the supposed Chilian priva
teer Yesterday. A clearance for a splen-
did propeller was applied for at the Gus
tom House, and after a careful inyesti-
cation OF the case by Surveyor Water
man the clearance was granted. The
vessel was about leaving eport to-day
when she was seized by the Provost Mar
shal, under an order from Judge Belts
which was granted on the representa-
tions made by the Spanish Consul who
stated that the vessel was going to sea to
enter into the service of Chill against
Spain She had no armament on board,
but was we'll manned and in 4 proper
condition to receive full compliment of
warlike materials. The vessel is the
Meteor, which was built by Forbes, in
Boston, for the purpose OF chasing and
capturing the pirate Alabama She is 4
magnificent vessel, 800 feet in length
and is a perfect model OF ship Her
crew consists principally of American
seamcn, and no doubt is entertained by
those who have right to know that she
was going to sea TO receive at some place
her armament for the Chilian service
The fact of her having received clear
ance created great excitement among
the Spanish honses down town, and
the Spanish Consul showed by his
prompt action in the matter that lie
really entertained serious fears of her
hostile character. She is now in tn
charge of United States officers.

HoUsE.-The House resumed the con-
sideration cf the constitutional amend
ment reported yesterday with regard to
the basis of representation.
Mr.. Stevens moved the previous qucs-
ton, but several gentleman having pro-
tested thHt an amendment of this im-
portance should not be thus hurriedly
made on its passage and forced through,
he withdrew the demand.
On motion of Mr.. Grinnel it was re-
solved that the select committee on
Reconstruction be. instructed to enquire
into the expediency OF providing by law
for taking the census OF the United
States during 1866 and report by bill or
otherwise.
Mr.. Henderson offered series of reso-
lutions that the constitution and gov.
ernment were ordained and established
by the people and not by States in their
individual character, therefore the doc
trine of State rights strikes at the toun-
dation ofall government.
The House then proceeded to the COLI
sideration of the proposed amendment to
the constitution in relation to apportion'
ment of representation and direct taxes,
and after considerably ie debate on the
snbject adjourned.
