WAsHINaToN, Sept. 49,
A special meeting of the Cabinet was held to-

through Adjutant G ,neral Townsend to General
Emory at New Orleans, officially approving of his
action, except so far as they appoint Col. Brooke
to " the command of the city of New Orleans. "
at would have been better to name him as
commanding the U. s. forces now in that city.
The State government existing at the time of
the instruction must be recognized as the law

ment is legally supplied.
"Upon the surrender Of the insurgents you will
inform Governor Kellogg, and give him oil nee
essary support to re-estahish the authority of
the State Government II at the end Of the five
days notice given in the Proclamation there still
exists all armed resistance to the State
authorities, you must demand surrender, or If
it is not done quietly, it must be enforced at all
hazards. 1t is not the province of the U. :.
authorities to make terms with parties engaged
in insurrectlon."

The Comparative Profits of Various
Farm Products.


From the Agricultural Department of the Delaware
Tribune.l
Our city friends who take sufficient interest in
the tillage of Me soil to read the columns of
agricultural papers, often express surprise that
formers are still discussing the comparative
profits of beef, milk, or butter and cheese. From
a mercantile point of view, they fail to see why
we have not settled this question long ago, and
governed ourselves accordingly. And why have
we not done 80 : Is it not because the question
will not admit of so plain and business-like 60
luton Admitting that all men are free and
equal, it does not follow that they could equal
each other in these four most important branch
es of our calling. Some farmers cannot see why
others do not see that milk gives the most prof
it, while another thinks his neighbor equally
blind, because he fails to see the great superior
ity of butter.
That butter milk, and cheese yield greater
profit than the making of beef, mutton or pork
is not denied, but they do so simply because
they absorb more labor and care there is but
little skill needed in the production of beef Or
mutton, but to make pound of good butter re-
quires peculiar art or talent Where the size.
health, and disposition of the family permit of
all taking an active part IN the production of
profit butter or cheese is individually the pro-
per commodityb but when we deduct the proper
value of this labor from the profits of the dairy
it brings them much nearer an equality with
those Of the cattle feeder.
The relative profits of butter, milk, and cheese
must hereafter as heretofore be governed by
the family and the distance from market In
the manufacture of these three supervision of
the owner or some one directly interested, is
quite an important item and often constitutes the
difference between profit and loss. The facilities
| for changing from one to the other are so easy
that any diminution in the profits of one will
cause portion TO connect their fortunes with
some. other branch of the dairy and thus pre-
serve the balance even. A noted New York farm
er has said that especial crops demand special
brains," and the same will apply to dairy FARM
ing; any of its branches to be eminently SUCCESS
essful require u special management not pos
sessed by all, and the calling will of course prove
most profitable to those who possess the largest
stock Of this desirable commodity.

The RerIss County II IL.

IN THE sHERIFF's HANDs-AN EFFORT BY THE CRED
IToRs TO DEFER ITS SALE.
On Wednesday last meeting OF the creditors
of the Berks County II. H. was held at Reading
to take action to prevent, il possible the sale of
the road by the sheriff. On Tuesday Of the week
previous an alias fl. ia. had been awarded by
the Court, and the Sheriff of Berks County di-
rected to sell the Railroad with all its properties
rights and franchises All the preliminary ar
engagements for the sale have been made and it
has been advertised to take place next month.
After the organization of the meeting and an
interchange of opinions by the creditors, reso-
luton was adopted authorizing certain gentle
men named therein to represent the creditors in
any action which they may deem proper to take
for the purpose of securing their claims or col
| Letting the same, and in vesting the committee
with absolute power TO do all acts and things
| whatsoever which in the opinion of the MEM
bers thereof may be necessary to place the cred

their claims, and to this end TO make any ad-
iustment with the said Berks County Railroad
Company, or with any person or persons natu-
raj or artificial, to prosecute and defend any
| proceedings at law OF in equity-to purchase for
them and in their names the property and fran
chises, rights, liberties and privileges of the

A further resolution was adopted excluding
from the benefit OF all action taken all those
| Whose names were not affixed Ia the above
agreement.
Some further discussion ensued, in the course
of which Miller d. Evans took occasion to criti-
else quite sharply the action of the Messrs
ljushong, saying they had deceived the people
| and were ready to sell out their friends. A com
mittee had been appointed previously to wait
upon the officers of the road but reported theil
inability to get any information from them. One
gentleman accused the Messrs Bushong, witt

the road be sold 40 AZ to buy it themselves.

The Louisiana poIiticaI situation.

more votes than kellogg in 1872, but there is a
question whether he received more legal votes
