liberty. There is no natural liberty under
that Declaration of Independence. Our lib
erty is regulated by law. Neither is there
any thing like perfect equality, however much
we may desire it under this form of govern
ment or any other. / say of these men who
are insisting on liberty and equality, that they
have in the last few years of our history done
more for the destruction of liberty and equality
in this country than if George the Third bad
succeeded in subduiDg Jefferson and his
compatriots. (Applause.l Jefferson never
for single moment entertained the idea that
the negro should take part in our Govern
ment. (Cries of ''That's 50; never, never. y
In his own declaration on that subject he says
he only favored the emancipation of the negro
on the ground that the negro should be colo
nized in some distant p4tt of the country or
sent out of the country. : (Applause and cries
of ''That's so.") If at any time the trustees
of the Government usurp powers that do not
belong to them, as we see is the case at the
present time, then the people are called on to
say whether they will be transferred like
cattle in the market from one set of rulers
to the other without interposing an indignant
re1nonstrance, and, if necessary, something
more than a remonstrance. If the people do
not stir themselves in this crisis, then [ will
be compelled to say out of the depth OF my
heart and in sackcloth and ashes, God has
given you over to the tyranny which you de-
sire. (Applause.) If on the other hand
you will prove your courage and fidelity to
the great principle you will achieve the
victory that is within your grasp, and the
time will come when we will celebrate the
redemption of this people as people in the
years past celebrated the election of Thomas
Jefferson with bondfres and illumination,
taking up the hymn of that day with which
7 will close
Rejoice Columbia's rejoicei
TS tyrants never bend the knee;
But Join with heart and hand and voice
For Jefferson and liberty.

FIELD AND FIREsIDE.
Raising Pigs.

One Of the most important requirements in
raising swine is TO produce thrifty, docils
breed, aud such as will fat readily. requiring
but little food, and at the same time large in
natural size, aud early in majority. The food
Of sow when rearing litter of pigs, should
be varied dry corn and cold water are not
sufficient. Nothing is better than Slops from
the house, with some milk aud corn meal
1t is advisable, it the SOW does not have a
range OF field, TO give charcoal and a little
salt aud sulphur every few days
The breeding sow should not be closely
confined. She should at least have the libeI-
ty of yard, besides her sleeping pen, so that
she eau get at the earth Do not By any
means change, her nest. Give plenty ci clean
wheat or oats Straw-never hsy-and let her
arrange the bed to her own liking Ifchar-
coal, vegetables, salt aud little fresh meat ia
fed to the sow about the time she is going to
have her young, there will be no danger of
her eating her progeny.
When the pigs get cid enough to 60 TO
the trough and eat. they should be fed by
themselves. Make passway for them, into
another apartment, where the mother cannot
20, and feed them with milk containing lit
tie boiled and mashed potato. The trough
is best made Of two boards nailed together in
shape, with cross Stats once in four or
FIVE inches, to keep the pigs from getting in
to their feed,
The best of the litter should always be Sc
lected, and kept for breeding and different
Breeds of the first order brought together by
exchange. 1t is reasonable to believe that
in-and-in breeding deteriorates the race yet
we know farmers who have practiced it for u
number of years; and without any apparent
deterioration.

hero and Christian lay dying;
The friends In his chamber were hushed,
To his faint but calm breathing gs replying
Low sobs from their bOsoms that eushed
Already he seemed with the angels,
So brightly his pale features shore;
They were showing him-hoIy evangals-
Their home, which would soon be his own.
Thus, ere ha was client forever,
The last words he uttered were these.
s'Let us cross,'' SAID the hero. ''the river
And rest in the shade Of the trees

But the vision by angels GiSeovered
Suggested the stream and the trees.
Though thinking of duties still, even,
While drawing his last feeble breath
Yet he spoke Of the lite-t trees of heaven
Beheld o'er the river of death
Seeing heaven-his home hence forever,
With angel companions like these
"Let US cr0ss,'' said the hero, ''the river.
And rest in the shade OF the trees"
Then follow his noble example.
Till life and its conflicts are o'sr:
And like his your reward rhall be amplS
When treading eteTnity's shore.
Like him all the wise and good, knowing
The issue IL anguish or bliss,
Seek for peace in that blest world by doing
The warfare OF duty in this.
Deaths cold and dark current can never
Have terrUrs for spirits like these;
They will cross, like the hero. the river,
And rest n the shade of the trees.

There were Baptist and Methodist Church
es in all the counties, Lutheran in all but
Warren, Presbyterian in all but Page, E pis-
copal in all but Rockingham, Shenandoah
and Page. The Mennonite Churches were
in Augusta and Rockingham, the Tunker or
German Baptist in Augusta, Rockingham,
Shenandoah and Page, the Friends in Shen-
andoah and Frederick, the German Reformed
in all but Shenandoah. Warren and Clarke,
the Catholic we're in Augusta, Frederick,
Jefferson and Berkeley.
The upper and lower portions of the VAL
ley were settled largely by Scotch-Irish and
English people, and there are found the Pres
byterian and Episcopal Churches, while the
central portion of the Valley, settled as it was
by Germans, contains most of the Mennonite,
Tunker, and Lutheran Churches. The Bap-
fists are most numerous in the lower Valley,
the Catholic Churches are in Harper's Ferry,
Martinsburg, Winchester and Staunton, towns
upon railroads, and the Methodists are about
equally distributed throughout the whole Val
ley.
These statistics could be extended through
the whole range of production, with alike
satisfactory results, and we may appeal, with
out fear of challenge, to the census of the
United States, for 1860, to verify the follow
ing assertion, viz That there is no portion
Of tie cottntry toitk The same area and popu-
IatioH, that yielded as much from Agric.tI-
ture, t6th the same amount Of labor, and
1chers there aoas as much exemption fran
sickness of all kinds, as the Shenandoah Tak-
ley Of Virginia.

WooD ASHES FOR STRAwBERRIEs.- Tho
Journal Of Horticulture is our authority for
saying that there is no better fertilizer for
Strawberries than ashes We remember that
one of the best crops we ever had was raised
when the only mannre used was wood ashes.
All soils will not alike be benefited by such
an application, but it is always safe to use
ashes in connection with other manures.. If
ashes only are used there are fewer weeds, as
no seed can be introduced by the manure

How TO GET RID or RATs.-It has been
discovered that rats can be got rid of by
covering the floor near the rat hole with u
thin layer of moist cdusiic potash. When
the rats walk on this, it makes their feet sore,
these they lick with their tongues; it makes
their mouth sore, and the result is that they
shrn this locality. rot alone but appear TO
tell all tue neighburing rats about it aud even
tually the house is entirely abandoned By
them, notwithstanding the neighborhood may
be toeming with rats,
