LETTER FROM COLONEL. JOHN
II. WHEELER.

Upon our third page this morning
will be found an interesting letter from
Colonel Wheeler, upon matters of in
terest connected with the history of
North Carolina. Il will repay care
ful perusal.
We publish Colonel Wheeler's letter
with great pleasure not, however, be-
cause We think there is need of any
thing to give strength and support to
the faith of North Carolinians in the
genniness of the Mecklenburg Declar-
ton of the Goth May, 1875, but because
the letter is very interesting and in
structive one, and because we desire
to avail ourselves of an opportunity to
show every courtesy in our power to
gentleman who lras devoted almost the
whole of long life time to praise
worthy efforts, to inscribe in it's right
ful place of honor upon the roll of
American States, the name of North
Carolina, and to put upon imperisha-
ble record the noble deeds of her sons.

FATHER RYAN,S PROTEST-THE
BEAUREl:AIID RESOLUTIONS
REPUDIATED.

The eloquent poet and patriot, Fath-
er Ryan, in a late issue of his paper,
the NeW orleans stu, and Catholic
Messenger, protests against the pro-
posed "unification" movement in the
following earnest manner. He says:
As editor-in- chief of this journal,
which, in its humble sphere, endeavors
to represent and advocate the temporal
interests of our Southern people and
the spiritual interests of our Catholic
church, we enter our protest, at once
and forever, with all our energy of
conviction, strength of will, and power r
of word, against the resolutions adopt
ed at the unification meeting held
week before last in New Orleans.
Our protest is personal. We have
no right to speak in the name of any
one beyond ourself. 1t would be an
act savoring of cowardice on our part
did we for any reason remain silent.
1t would be a dereliction of duty to-
ward our readers, from many of whom
we have already received letters asking
for an expression of our opinion.
But had we been asked by no one,
we would have, none the less, said our
word upon subject so grave.
The meeting, the new movement
Wilmington journal., 1873-07-18

The Raleigh ISt7tinel acknowledges
humor that the JOURNAL is disposed
to be magnanimous in this, the hour
of its triumph. It must be confessed,
too, that the JOURNAL is strengthened
in It's virtuous resolution by the recol-
lection of its own fallibility. as dis
played in its error of week, in fixing
the date of an event that occurred
more than one hundred years ago.
Yes, we, too, are fallible. We said the
affair with the sloop Diligence occur
red in 1865, when, in in fact, it occur
red on Or about the 9th January, 1866.
We rather think we were a trife toe
greedy. Had we done justice to the
teachings of our venerable legal pre-
ceptor, we would have acted upon the
old maxim, dC Haini1?is non c,natIer.
The Sentinel does the JOURNAL in
justice in saying that we did not quote
the scant praise it gave to Wheeler's
works. We quoted the very words of
the Sentinel that there was informa-
ton in his volume that could not be
obtained elsewhere, &c" And we did
50 with malice aforethought, for the
purpose, among others, of cutting off
any escape for the Sentinel upon the
plea that it were better to have no
history at all than to have Wheeler's.
Testing aside, we would regret that
the Sentinel had seen proper to recall
Judge Pearson's old vulgarism about
",the Democratic stud book" did
we not feel satisfied that the statement
that the vulgarism was one of Pear:
sons, would be sufficient antidote to
any poison it might contain.
The e.Sentinelintimatest that we ''cram-
med little for the occasion" and asks
us to say sub 1O sa if it is not so, and
further to say "upon honor what we
think of Wheeler's work. Upon this
point distinguished friend, who hap
pens to he in our Office just now, and
who by the way, is much pleased with
the tone of the .SentineFs reply to the
Journal, says he thinks it is highlyre
freshing to hear one newspaper calling
upon another newspaper to make {
statement upon honor. He enjoys the
naivete of the request hugely, and sc
do we.

during the entire war. Col. Thurston

Dairy Stock should not be Stinted

Mr.. l., B. Arnold, secretary OF the
American Dairymen's Association, and
one Of the most intelligen. farmers in
New York, gives this testimony in the
n. Y Tribune on subject on which
there is some misapprehension. We think
Mr.. Lewiss experience agrees with that
of many dairymen who have given at.
tontion enough to the subject to under.
stand it.
The statement in former number Of
the Tribune, that cows which have been
allowed to shrink in their messes can not
be brought up to their former flow the
same season by atter.feeding, has been
proved most emphatically true in the ex.
perience Of the present year. The large
shrinkage that occurred in June and Ju.
ly has not and cannot be recovered from,
no matter how good the feed may be all
the fall.
Upon visiting the farm Of The Hon.
Harris Lewis, Of Frankfort, Hcrk timer
Co., n. Y, early in September, good
opportunity was offered for noting the
effect of full feelings all the milking sea.
sou to prevent any shrinkage at any
time. Mr., l., is one of those dairymen
who believe that grass is the cheapest and
best food for producing milk, and that it
pays to give milk cows all they can con.
sumo of it at all times. In accordance
with this belief he has fed his COWS all
summer, with one little exception. BE.
coming alarmed in June about his supply
Of winter feed, he cut and stored in his
barn the first growth of orchard grass
that had been designed for early soilng,
aud in consequence, his cows fell off a
little in their milk in the latter part Of
June. Though another field of grass was
soon in readiness, and the cows were soon
ofterward fully supplied by soiling with
grass what they failed to get by grazing
yet he says he has found it impossible to
restore that loss by the most ample feed
ing, and that his COWS carried the shrink
age through all July and August, and
Of course, will carry it to the end Of the
milking period. He now looks back up.
on the short pinch as an error which he
cannot afford to repeat.
The little failure was not long enough
nor severe enough to make large shrink.
age, and as the feeding was abundant
aiterward the flow has continued with
very little abatement since Mr. l.. has
thirty.four head that he milks. Six o.
them were two-year.old heifers, two are
iarrow cows and two others were being
dried off, and were giving less than the
heiiers. These ten were averaging twelve
pounds day, and the other twenty-iou
head were averaging twenty.!our pound,
day,the dairy giving nearly 700 pounds
day. This product makes strong con
trast with the messcs of the surrounding
dairies, and affords an instructive lessor
to all who have occasion to profit by it
The difference, which amounts to over
pound of cheese daily,is due only to feed
ing fully and evenly, with nothing bu
grass. Mr.. LIS herd is composed o
natives, with sprinklipg of Short. Horl
grades, and are not different from tn
cows generally kept in the county. Tn
whole cause Of this superior flow lies il
feeding to maintain it when others al
lowed their cows to shrink.
