The Sulphur Springs RumOrs.

From The ~. y World.
General Rosecrans, the new Minister to
Mexico, deters his departure until the season
is a little further advanced, prudently
avoiding exposure to the deadly climate of
Vera Cruz, while the dogs shoots down
pestilence. While thus waiting, he makes
visit to Sulphur Springs, the fashionable
watering place of Virginia, where some dis
tipguished, and more undistinguished citizens
OF the South are sojourning daring the op-
pressive summer heat. A circumstance so
natural, and seemingly so trivial, as this visit
of General Rosecrans to the Sulphur Springs,
has filled the air with rumOrs which magnify
his visit into the importance of a mission. The
newspapers are filled with accounts more or
less imaginative, of long political conference
between General Rosecrans and General Lee,
of a political conference not quite so long, but
of the same tenor, between General Rosecrans
and Alexander Ii. III. Stuart, another inf uential
citizen of Virginia, and of q detention OF
General Rosecrans for further political consul
tations with other leading Southerners with
view to some sort of an address, to be signed
by the chief men OF the South, particularly
the officers of the late Confederate army
setting forth their views OF the political
situation.
These rumors are of little account; and yet
they suggest possibility of usefulness which
ought not perhaps to be entirely overlooked.
Such an address as has been hiuted at, setting
forth, with the manly fraukness which belongs
TO the Southern character, what consequences
of the late unhappy war the Southern people
do and what they do not accept, might have
beneficial influence. 1t would help contute
the calumnies which are the chief electioneer-
ing resource of the radicals. few indiscreet
expressions, uttered by one or two men who
formerly had some prominence in Southern
politics, are constantly paraded in the radi-
cal press as expressing the deliberate views
of the South. Men like Governor Wise, who
has always been regarded as somewhat erratic
and hair Drained, or Mr.. TOombs, who never
weighs his words bat blurts out the most de-
fant things that occur to an ardent, naughty
mind in heat of public speech, cannot with
any candor be regarded as representing the
sentiments of the South. The mass of no
community is erratic or hot-headed. How
ever they may be amused 10y the vivacity of
that kind of men, their own sober views are
more truly expressed by cooler and more dis
passionate speakers. Spouters who are quaint
and extravagant easily catch public attention,
| and when they make slips, their words are
caught at by political opponents, and unfairly
held up as expressing the sentiments OF the
party with which they act. II the warm ex-
! pressions to which we allude do not Gas we
are sure they cannot) represent the views OF
the great mass of the Southern people, an
! authoritative exposition of their actual senti-
ments would do good.
OF course, the Southern people do not be-
| lieve that "the lost cause" would be reganed

Grnnt,s Resignntinn.

From The Washington National IateJLtgencer,
The Radical organs generally maintain a
guarded silence in reference to Grants resig-
nation from the army in 1854. The Chronicle,
however, has attempted, with most ludiorous
feebleness, not to answer, but to evade the
questions as TO the reason why the ''man with a
dozen and half lives' left captaincy in the
regular army for the position Of common la
borer in a lanyard. The Chronicle bubbles
about his having become common la
borer. Well, concede that he was an "uu-
common" laborer. All this, however, is an
avoidance of the main question, which is,
"Why did Grant resign Y'
All that the Chronicle can say upon this
point is the following:-
"In regard so the terrible disgrace alluded to
the question occurs whether, If mis- offence had,
been so terrible, Grant would have been allowed
severely punished and dishonorably dismissed?
Military law is not quite so lenient as to allow
would have us believe he had committed to 20
unpunished; and 1t will be remembered that at
that time Grants rank was only that OF captain
and that he could not have commanded any
such powerful influence as might have secured
him from punishment had he deserved IT,"
This may be to the Chronicle a most clear
and Ineligible explanation of why Grant did
resign; but few will be able to see wherein the
explanation consists. The question is not
whether he ought to have been allowed to re-
sign, but why, and for what reason, and under
what circumstances did he leave the army in
1854? 1t is certainly a plain unequivocal
question, and the Chronicles silly attempt to
dodge it only serves 10 show that there is
something about the answer to be concealed,
some terrible plague spot in the character of
the mapy-lived hero that not one of his life
makers has dared to touch.
If the question had been asked previous to
the Chicago nomination, it might have been
answered by Theodore Titon, or Wendell
Phillips, or Anna Dickinson, who boast
of more than ordinary independence in
daring to speak out and bear testimony
against wrong doing; but even their vaunted
independence in speaking of Grant has dwin-
died into abiect subseryience since the Chi
cago Convention set him, like the sold Man of
the Sea-" astride of the neck of the radical
party, to ride to death.
The silence of all the other radical journals
and radical life-makers, and radical song writers
and radical stump speakers, only render
more prominently ridiculous the very feeble
attempt of the Chronicle to divert attention
from the realsquestion, which still remains
unanswered-"Why did Grant leave the
army in 1854 P'

last year against the Congressional policy has
no more substantial meaning or force than the
reaction equal in degree aud amount) which
was exhibited in 1868, after Lincoln's Eman-
cipation Proclamation. The latter did not
then save the Democratic party from humiIi-
atpg defeat in 1864; the former will do them
no more service this fall.
The Republican party must hold its position
firmly and move without hesitation or any
consciousness of weakness upon the enemy's
works. Its victory now is as necessary to the
salvation of the republic as it was in 1864
Then, under General Grant as a military
leader we proposed to conquer the Rebellion,
same leader, we propose to secure perfect
peace and reconciliation.

BUTTER MAKING IN TIE WINTER.-For
some unknown reason, cream skinned in
cold weather docs not come so quickly as
that from the same COW in warm weather
Perhaps the little sacks Of butter in the
cream are thicker aud tougher. There are
two methods of obvating this One is, to
set the milk on the stove, or some warm
place, when strained, and let it remain until
quite warm-somc say until bubble or two
rises, or until cream begins to rise. Another
mode is to add tcaspoonlul Of salt to a
quart Of cream when skinned. Cream
thus prepared generally comes in few
minutes when churncd. 1t is thought the
salt acts upon the butter globulcs and makes
them tender, SO that they will break more
easily when churned. Boston Cu'tirator.

SrocK FEEDlNG-RAw AND COOKED
FOoD.-The question as 10 which is the
most profitable for feeding stock, raw or
cooked food, still engages the attention Of
the agricultural press The majority are in
favor Of the cooking process. A Kentucky
farmer fed raw corn for time to his hogs
weighing them at the time Of commencing
the experiment, and again whon a change
was made to cooked food. The result was
81 to ia large balance in favor Of cooked
food after deducting the expense of prcpar-
ing the latter. Even one-half Of the above
difference would justify the feeding Of the
cooked material in preference to that in u
raw state.

time become convinced that your stock has

We fed six or seven cows and five horses

meadow hay and barley straw. 1t was all

At the end Of two days, one end olthe heap

The season for feeding stock in the barn

economy with the farmer more important
than the use Of the hay cutter.
II roots are used instead Of grain, they
flavor the mass Of dry fodder, so that cattle
