LATE LETTERS FROM LEnrHI.

BY permission of the persons to whom they
are respectfully addressed in this city, we are
enabled to lay before our renders extracts from
two late private letters from Leesburg. Mr..
/. H. Winfrey, formerly of this place, an ex-
perienced miner, and honorable man, in let
ter to j. w. Wood Il Co., of May 10Th, says
of the diggings;
We have got to work, and ] do not know
just what will be the result, but this is not so
good camp as my friends think it is. / do
not know any more than Chinaman how we
will come out when we clean up"
Another, writing from near Leesburg, May
18th, says:
"When we took up our claims, after pros
pect, we were very much elated at our good
luck; but that was before we had worked
them, for we could not get into them on ac-
count of snow. But we have tried the ground
pretty fairly now, and feel quite discouraged.
1t don't pan out like we expected I hear the
same complaint from -, and the - boys
They oil thought they had big thing. but
nothing half good has been struck yet. Some
say there is plenty of twelve-dollar claims here
Iii there are they have got to be proved up
after this. don't know of any. John Clowry
has good claims, hear, few miles from here,
but there are not many of that sort There is
plenty of water, and Marion More has the best
ditch property here. Goods have taken an
awful fall in prices lately. Awhile back every
thing was high, but the Helena merchants
have rushed in goods, and large quantity
have come from Boise and Idaho cities, and
Walla Walla, and prices have gone right down.
A great many are leaving here; some of them
had claims they expected big things of, but on
opening them this season they didn't pay, and
they have gone. Almost every day we have
new excitement, and crowds rush to them, but
have not heard of any turning out well.''

Weeds salutatory on taking editorial charge
of the New York Commercial Advertiser fills
four columns and a half of its ample pages. He
makes the paper conservative. e., he will
try to sit between the two stools of Democracy
and Radicalism. Such sitters generally come
to the ground. He says:

four years to establish, viz: that the UNION is

ment abolishing slavery, and now deny that
they were or are States And this bold con-
tradiction raises the grave question whether

they were not States, then the amendment did
not receive a three-fourths majority"

RICH CAsE.-Mrs. Mary L. Schell, who sued
Gen. Naglee of San Francisco for breach OF
promise, with damages charged at 100000,
has put his letters to her in the hands of pub
Usher, to be issued for sale. It is said they
cover space of more than two years, were
written to the lady while Naglee was q General
in the Federal army, during the war, and con-
tain not only very free and scathing criticisms
upon many of the conspicuous Military and
Civil officers of the Government, but also
great deal of scandalous and racy comments
upon many of the ladies who are prominent as
leaders Of fashion and great bellies. Gen. Nag
lee has applied for an injunction to restrain
Mrs. Schell and the printers from publishing
the letters. The case promises to furnish the
morbid appetite of the people with much spicy
and interesting insight into private life among
many of the elite of the country, ladies as well
as gentlemen.

SOiling Cows.

Z
Perhaps some farmers do not even under
stand the meaning of the phrase at the
headOf this article, as it hasthad but little
practical illustrationin the West. ) Itmeans
simply feedingcows with green fodder in
the latter part of the season, usually raised
for that special purpose sf9 al ~ ~ 'oF
1t has generally been supposed that soil
ing, is a necessity only.of old farming com
munities where the land is allareduced to
farms and every man is confined tohis own
acres which are generally few, and is not
adapted TO the West where there is so much
land lying about loose and affording wide
range for cattle. 4&f &c 'Sf9fWgGa.,
But this supposed reason against soiling
in the West is the very one which proves
its necessity Comparatively little land
among us has as yet been seeded down,
after cultivation, to cultivated grass for
pasturage, and that which has been thus
seeded does not produce that thick, luxu-
RANT growth of grass that we find in past
ures on the more tenacious and damp soils
OF the Eastern States. Our Western lands,
If not too, rich, are generally toolight and
porous yet to form good sod and it dries
up badly in August. But farmers depend
much upon the native grasses and weeds
found ina the open ranges, and this
fails in August, and unlike the cultivated
grasses, it does not recover in September.
Then cows begin to ramble far and vile,
cropping the seeds ID. weeds and when the
best season for butter making arrives they

grass becomes so tough and wirery that

/ The Importance of keeping cows well in
milk during the fall months, il you would
make buttermaking profitable, is too obvi-
Gus to need argument; but this cannot be
done, especially in the West, without com
mencing soiling,. certainly by the middle of
August, and following it up as long as a
green thing can be given them to eat. An
acre of, clover, you have it, cannot be
better disposed of If you have a few cows,
than by cutting square rod or two of it
every day and giving it to them in August,
