James Watson Webb sailed vcstcr-
day for Brazil to resume tho duties
OF his mission.
A preliminary meeting Of tho army
of The Potomac was held yesterday
aud was largely attended and the
sios; harmonious feeling prevailed.
Among those present were Slocum,
Sigel, Franklin, Wright, Mcclellan,
Butterfeld, Ingalls,, Newton, Gibbon,
Plcasanton, Cary, Hointzleman, and
Hancock. The meeting was called
to order by Butterticld, who briefly
stated the objects of the call, and
nominated the senior officer present
as temporary chairman. An execu-
tive committee was appointed to
make necessary arrangements for
the reunion, and to select an orator,
&C., and also committee on perma-
nent organization Of by laws and
constitution was appointed, and the
9th of July and the City of New
York determined upon as the time
and place for the re union.
1t w"s decided that permanent
organization should be made at that
time.

son OF Iowa authorize an unqualified
denial OF the statement originating
with the Dubuque correspondent of
a western paper charging them with
receiving money through an irnprop-
er connection with the Sioux Branch
of the Pacific II. r. They claim
that the strictest investigation will
show they have neither received the
sum named nor any other sum.

At the unoeams shivsred and shattered

For fe,rre it played. where the river

With fair cbeaks, soft and creamy,
And II ea,ed il; my eyes, with sweet sur

The CONGRESSIONAL RIoT.-John
Morrisey had occasion last week to
blush because Of the company he
found himselfin. Those of our read.
ers who have been troubled at times
by our measurement of Gen. Butler,
will find food for thought in the five
column accounts, in the dailies, of the
disgraceful scenes on the floor of
Congress, when the ELECTORAL vote
was counted, of which he was the in
spiration and in which he was the
leader. This attempt to throw fire.
brand into the path of the now ad-
mini1tration, even before Gen Grant
can grasp the reins, is characteristic.
Butler will never forgive Grant for
Buffers military failures! 1t is time
for tho House to take soundings. In
its war against Johnson it has grown
hot-headed and arrogant. 1t is time
for the Republican party to throw off
the leading strings ofthe demagogucs
who would make it machine to
drive personal p;que and generate
power. 1t cannot live long and har.
Dor all the unclean things which it is
observation-disclosures.

Fish Culture.

Nearly all the eastern States have
commissioners appointed to superin-
tend the restocking of their lakes
and rivers with fish, by artificial prop
agation.
Those OF the State of Massachu-
setts have just made highly fiatter-
ing report, in referring to which the
N. Y. Tribune makes the following
instructive comments:
OF the profit Of breeding and grow
ing fish the Commissioners above re-
ferred to state that the curd OF the
skim milk Of a good COW is amply
sufficient for the production of 500
pounds of trout. This will be worth,
in any market, twice the same num-
Der OF pounds Of pork, but the food
mentioned would not produce moro
than onc-quartcr as much pork
Aside from this exhibit OF profit,
which cannot be much below the
truth, the value of fish, and in partic-
ular Of the hard and sweet varieties
of flesh, such as introut and shad, is
of still greater Importance, for fur.
nishcs in the phosphorus the ele-
ments Of brain food, now become an
absolute necessity in the advanced
intellectual development Of our peo-
pie. The truth is, and il is becoming
to be appreciated, that social and IN
telleetnal progress are based upon
varied aud abundant supplies Of food,
and it may be stated as Il law that
there will never b. any high civili-
cation where the diet of peo.,le is
limited to few kinds Of staple food,
no matter hos favorable these may
be for establishing what is called a
condition free from disease. From
this it is evident that the rice diet of
the people OF Eastern Asia, and the
limited elements contained in the
acrid food OF the people Of the trop..
les, will not permit any of these ma
lions 70 rise above the harbaric.

COMPETING Farmers Club
Again.

Since the death of the Farmers
Club, last spring, its few friends have
made several Intellectual attempts to
awaken an interest in the public
mind upon the subject of farming,
and have met number of times to
discuss the matter; but the majority
Of the people seem to think, Judging
from their acts, that they can learn
no more, and stay away; SO those
who think they can still be benefited
by an Interchange of views, have
determined upon Change of base"
They now meet at each others dwell
ing houses, and propose taking their
wives along. They undoubtedly
think that, as the women are SO fond
of gossip, there will be no such thing
as fail, for should their zeal grow cold
their wives will "s,ir up their pure
minds by way of remembrance
The last meeting, by reason of ex-
cecdingly bad travelling, was thinly
attended, but was quite an interesting
ono. The most successful time for
sowing spring wheat was discussed
also, the subject of education, both
highly important and interesting
subjects.
l think, as the old organization is
extinct, this should bear the cogno-
men of the Farmers Fircside Club.
If it should prove a success, on it's
present basis, you may probably hear
from it again.
