DISCOVERIES IN RoME.-Interesting an
hquarian discoveries have been recently
made on the site of the Palace of the Caesars,
in Rome, where Signor Rosa, who directs
the excavations, for the Emperor Napoleon,
has found the base of what appears to have
been an altar, bearing an interesting iu-
scription, stating that it was erected by
"Cucius Domitius Calvinus," who twice
filled the consular dignity in the years B. c.
SO and 40, and who employed the treasures
granted to him by the Senate, after his
suppression of the Iberian insurrection in
the reign OF Augustus, towards the decora,
tiou of the imperial edi6oes on the Palafine
From this relic having been found close to
the basement of the Temple of Jupiter Vic
tor, raised at the close of the Social War by
Fabius Maximus, B. c. 80, it is possible
that it stood before the statue of that divin>
ity. In another part of Rome, on the site
of the Emporium, between the foot Of the
Aventine and the Tiber, Signor Visconti has
brought to light numerous masses of rich
ancient colored marbles, some bearing dates
of the time of Domtian.

FATTENING CALvEs.-A sensible practi-
cal farmer told us The other day that be had
often noticed that calves would thrive better
on milk that was not rich in butter, than on
what was commonly called very rich milk.
That is fact in accordance with what we
recently stated, that the nutritive elements
of milk reside chiefly in the caseine. If you
have COW that gives particularly rich milk
and one that gives quality poorer in but>
ter, Ii is better in every way to feed the calf
on the milk of the latter The calf will
thrive better and you'll get more butter from
the milk of the first cow.-Mass. Plough.

The DIFFERENCE.-A case was recently
tried in one of our courts about the sound
ness of a horse, in which clergyman, not
conversant with such matters, appeared as
witness. He was little confused in giving
his evidence. and clustering lawyer who

IHE SOUTHWARK mAHCH OF EMPlhE.-
We must not be blinded BY the starcing and
confusing influence of the present state of
affairs at the South to the magnificent posi-
bilties awaiting development in that region
by the simple force of industry In
fact, so rich are the natural resources of that
region, so abundant the rewards it holds out
to the laDorer, there is danger lest the very
abundance should operate as it has done elsel
where, to make the toiler content with the
light toll that suffices to support him from
day to day, and indispose him to those thrifty
habits of accumulation by which the inhabi-
tants of less genial climes guard against the
possible privations of the morrow. In this
connection, the following extract from a re-
cent letter of Mr.. Henry G. Care, is especi-
ally forcibe: "At the South, nature has
provided for the removal of all existing
difficulties having placed the farmer in such
position that not onl y is be nearer to the
great markets for his products in their ori-
giual forms, but that be may convert his
wheat and his sweet potatoes into cotton,
into pork, oranges, or any other of the num-
rous fruits above referred to, for all of which
he fuds an outlet in the various markets of
the world Seeing these things, and seeing,
further, that its whole upland country pre-
Sents one of the most magnificent climates
of the world, can it be doubted that the day
is at hand when emigration 10 the South and
Southwest must take the place now occupied
by immigration to the West, and when power
is to pass from the poor soils of the North
west to those richer ones which now offer
themselves in such vast abundance in the
centre, the South, and the Southwest? As

against Gen. Grant in this campaign, have
not done it-lor a purpose. If he is liz to
be president, long before his term expires
| will be found supporting him, honestly and
cordially, against the leaders Of the party
which expect to elect him in November.
Loud cheers, And you have no right to
cry out TRAITOR against him, you will have
no right to talk about his Tylerizng, or his

it, and be accepted, and | dare say he would
have accepted the democratic nomination

letter Of acceptance, to say that he would
not proclaim any policy. He did not con.
slider it advisable TO do 80 in advance Of the
election-to say what he would do when he
was elected. Now, pray you TO remember
that | told you, on this 2Gth day Of Octo
Der, that Gen. Grant will reject the mad, ia
naticAl, revolutionary radical leaders Of the
organization which put him forward, if he
proves true to demonstration aud the Union
