Mr.. Conkling, in explaining the bill, said
there were cases arising in the southern
States, particularly in Georgia, where the
northern stockh olders in express and steam
boat companies were sned for property
taken by the public enemy, and the object
Of the bill was to enable the defendants to
transfer these cases to the United States
courts to the end that they might 90 to the
| Supreme Court and have decision whether
the principle is the same as in the prize
cases, az they are not able to get n ruling
in the State courts on this principle as a
| case of law. A common carrier to defend
himself technically must prove that the
loss of goods was either caused by the act
of Government or of the public enemy; and

Fix Up the IN.

During the winter every implement and
machine that will be required next spring
and summer should be oyerhauled and re-
paired. Examine the plows, and if they
have been neglected and are rusty, wash off
ali the dirt and then apply, with swab
fastened on the end of q stick, q mixture of
one part sulphuric acid and two parts water.
Rub the mould-board and other parts that
are rusty with this liquid until the rust is
all removed then wash it off and rub 1t
dry. Then smear it over with crude pc
troleum or some other cheap oil, and next
spring you will be saved from the loss and
annoyance of clogging. Every farmer
should buy a barrel Of petroleum, and use
it freely on all his wagons, machines, i'm
plements, etc. 1t will keep the iron from
rusting and the wood from decay, and III
cold weather it is useful lubricating oil.
We find it absolutely essential to keep on
hand several sizes OF carriage bolts. With
these and brace and set Of bits nearly
all ordinary fractures can be easily re-
paired. 1t is n great convenience also to
have o vice, and to keep on hand an assert
ment Of uncut nuts, with the tools for
making the thread in them and also on the
Dolts. AL lAe5c thlhSo ehh NC ooloineu CT
hardware store, and farmer who buys
them viii never regret it. But if it is
necessary to take anything to the black
smiths shop, now is the time to do it; and
when it is repaired, clean off the rust, paint
it with linseed oil, and put taway for use in
the spring. If the farmer or his son would
90 over all the implements, machinery,
wagons, hay racks, tools, ETC., paint them
oil and tighten the bolts, and see that every.
thing is strong and in good order, it would
not only greatly lessen the blacksmith I
bill, but would save much precious time
and no little annoyance next spring and
summer. The winter is also the time to
make whitiletrees and three-horse eveners
1t is great advantage to have on extra SCI
of these on hand.-America AgricultWiSt

reported for the Richmond Dispatch.
PETERSBURG, January Is, 1863.
We have ngtn 10 report a good degree OF nc
tivitv in commercial matters. Business appears
TO have been growing steadily better since the
new year, and the anticipations of merchants
that the present winters trade would be hea-
yier than At any time since the war are i'll Il
fair way OF being realized. The receipts OF
produce OF nearly every kind continue to be
liberal.
The cotton market has been very animated,
and even excited. The price has been gradu-
ally but steadily advancing, and to-day has
reached higher point than 1T any time during
the fail or winter. Every day we hear OF large
transactions and the higher it goes, us usual,
the number of buyers seems TO BIZ reinforced.
We cannot forbear TO congratulate the
planters Oh the suspicious result of their la
bors which will doubtless stimulate them 10
plant largely The coming year. At the same
time We trust they Will be admonished by the
painful experience of the preceding year to
make AL ueedful provision for a supplyot bread
and meat. We are happy 10 learn that there
is not likely to be any deficiency of the former
during the ensuing summer. The latter, being
more liable 10 depreciation, must necessarily
be procured by purchase rs long rs The presen;
disorgauiZed condition OF the country lasts.
The receipts Of tobacco are still extremely
moderate. For some days after the re-opening
OF the Exchange the prices obtained were
hardly as good rs before Christmas; but TO-
day there is L tendency 10 rally. A good deal
of loose was sold At improved rates. Only
two of the factories-though both conducted
on the largest scale-are now in operation
and IL is not thought the others will COM
mence work again till the lst OF March The
demand which some eighteen or twenty OF
these will make on the market Will doubtless
have the effect Of restoring prices 10 some
thing like those of the last crop. Until then
or sometime in the spring planters would act
prudently I'VE think in Withholding the
better portion of their crops, and only send
ing the inferior grades TO market.
We note occasional arrivals of wheat, but II
has ceased 10 come forward in the steady
stream which marked its movement during
the fall and early winter.
Corn has been gradually tending upward
and the probability is in favor OF q continued
advance till the spring. Many holders, moi
satisfied with present prices, are holding back
for a rise.
In flour there is no change TO note.
Peanuts nre steady al unchanged quotations
Receipts are somewhat lighter than before the
holidays, and planters are confident they car
lose nothing By waiting. The demand for fill
ing orders rather increases than lessons. Tits
believed that from third TO q half Of the crop
has been sold.
After the most careful inquiry we have beer
able TO make of the state OF the market To-
day, we submit the following quotations
Cotton.- Large transactions OF prime Al
274c.

CARD THE Cows.-One would think that
any kind hearted man, when he sees how
grateful this operation ig to a cow, would
be willing to spend few moments daily in
carding her. It pays as well to clean a
COW as horse. All who have fairly tried
it find great benefit from the operation.
And yet not one farmer in hundred makes
it practice to use the card or curry comb
in the cow stable. We know stupid men
who laugh at the idea as mere notion OF
some fancy farmer. But, in point Of fact
no COW can give the best results at the pail
unless this matter is attended TO, especially
in winter.

In connection with the subject of cereals, we
notice that 4 Liverpool commercial circular
has the following: Zone Of the most extraor-
binary features OF this session is the rush Of
barley from Great Britain to the United
States. 1t appears that American distillers
more especially those OF Chicago have sud
denly discovered the superiority o our growth
and we shipping from the first OF this
month December, 1861 to The present date
december %, 1861 100, 900 bushels against not
II single bushe this time last year. If any evil
dence was wanted of the constant necessity f
Americans and English TO try and rfciprocate
produce it is here successfully afforded. The
value of British barley for mailing purposes
is 6s. to IS. I'd. per bushel Of sixty pounds"
AS regards barley, we, too, have 4 word to
say. Some couple of years ago 1ueugling *
Boyer, proprietors of the James River Steam
Brewery, in this city, made n proposition to
the farmers of the State that they would fur
nish them with seed barley at COST and would
buy from the farmers the whole crop, paying
for it the highest market price. The writer of
this article wrote then several articles on the
mode of raising and saving the crop, but for
some reason or other the quantity raised in
the State has been small, not amounting even
to the requirements of the brewery above
mentioned.
In Great Britain some years ago thow ii is
now We know nop good whiskey was made ex-
clusirely Of barley, and hence the celebrity Of
that Irish punch of which some of our Rich
mond people who have visited Ireland on bn-
siness purposes speak so glowingly and so
charmingly.
