How TO JUDGE A HORSE A correspon-
Gent of the Country Gentleman gives the fol-
lowing in reference to horses:
I offer the following suggestions, the result
o: my close observation and long ex perieues. If
the color be light sorrel or chestnut, his feet,
legs aud face white-these are the marks OF
kindness. If he is broad and full between the
eyes, be may be depended On a horse of good
sense, and capable of being trained to anything;
as respects such horses, the more kindly you
treat them, the better you will be treated in re-
turn. Nor will horse of this description stand
whip, if we'll fed. you want safe horse.
avoid one that is dish faced He may be so far
gentle as not to scare, bu. he will have too much
go ahead in him TO be safe with everybody. 1t
you want fool, but a horse of great bottom,
get deep bay with not white hair about him.
If his face is little dished, SO much the worse.
Let man ride such horse that is not 40 ex-
pert rider: they are always tricky and unsafe
If you want one that will never give out, never
buy large ovcrgrown one. A black horse can
not stand heat, nor white one cold. If you
want gentle horse, get one with more or less
white about the head-the more the better.
Selections thus made are Of great docility and
senilcnees.

GERRIT SMITH AND HORACE GREELEY
These two life long abolitionis.s spoke in Rich
mond. on Tuesday night last. The Richmond
papers speak in high terms Of the remarks If both,
and predict that great good will result from their
efforts.
Gerritt Smith. while earnestly advising the
white people to conform to the laws Of Congress
and grant Suffrage to all, also said to them and
all others. South that if he had his way he would
exempt them from direct taxatinn.-that he
wanted the disfranchisement {" Cease now, and
submitted proposition for the blacks to petition
against the disfranchisement of their white
neighbors.
Mr. Greeley also said that since he had been in
Richmond. he had heard the impression among
c"ored men that there would be a confscarion
law passed, and that they would get their lands
for nothing. The sooner. he added. the colored
people gave mp these ideas the better for them.
They would find that it was cheaper to buy lands
than to wait and get them for nothing.

UNION CoUNTY.We regret to learn that it
IS probable that some of the farmers of Union
county will have to stop working their crops for
the want of corn for their families and horses.
The corn heretofore sent to that county has
been distributed for bread to the destitute, while
those who carrying on farms have looked out
for their own supplies; but the difficulty now is.
they have no money to buy with, and but few
can obtain credit Men who. in former years.
sold from three to ten hundred bushels corn,
have not now months supply of food of any
sort. and no money to purchase what they need.
Relief. to accomplish good, must be given
speedily.
We hope our exchanges in the Eastern and
Western part Of this State will copy the above .
We suggest that any contributions may be sent
to J. Mclaughlin at Charlotte, who will see that
It is conveyed to Union county.

RELIEF FOR THE SUFFERING PooR.-A week
or two since Mr. Gage, OF Boston, passed through
this City on his way further south, and while here
he kindly inquired into the condition of our suf-
fering poor. He was charged by Committee in
that City, raised for the purpose of aiding desti-
tute persons in the South to make this inquiry;
and before he left he designated Gen. Nelson A
Miles, Col. r. w. Pulliam and w w. Holden to
receive and disnehse such amounts as m ght be
placed in their hands These gentlemen have
just been informed by William Gray, Esq, Chair
man of the Boston Committee, to whom Mr. Gage
reported that their draft will be honored for a
handsome sum, to be applied as we have stated.
The gentlemen designated by Mr. Gage have
held a meeting and appointed Gen Miles their
chairman. 1t is their purpose to take such steps
as in their judgment will be best calculated to
dispense this gift SO to do the most good to
those who are suffering in our State. So far as
food is concerned, Gen Miles, who is at the head
of the Freedman's Bureau in this State will furn-
sh that in every prope. case that may be brought
to his attention. While the government will not
encourage eness or vice, it is its wish to relieve
promptly all who are actually suffering for food
But there are many cases among the desolate,
the aged, and the infirm, in which other aid be
sides common food is necessary. Medicines,
clothing and light food for the sick and feeble,
are required. Such cases will be relieved as far
as practicable. Boston has acted noble part in
this matter-RaleiQh Standard.
