Editor BrookhdUen Ledger:
Some one wrongly informed the Conn.,
ct, that Col. Ben. King, in his speech
near Caseyville, encouraged the Farm>
ers' League. The speech was just the
reverse. He told the people that such
a movement would bring ruin and STAR
walton to the doors of many a family.
That Deeds of Trust could be enforced,
and would be, if the movement did not
take a better turn than he was afraid it
would. He advised them, that all mer-
chants ought to be liberal, and would
be, if approached in a regular business
way. His speech was listened to with
much interest, and by most persons
present, it was thought to be good ad-
vice. NATHAN.

Congress-.

Congress meets on the 18th inst The
House will be Democratic and the Sens
ate very evenly divided. The COM
plexion of the Senate is thirty-three
Democrats, th%irty-nine Republicans
and one Independent-Judge Davis
who will vote with the Democrats.
Three additional Democrats will pro-
baby be admitted, which will. increase
their strength to thirty>seven. Morton
is confined to his room, and Spencer is
off on a bridal trip; SO the chances are
that the Senate will be about equally

Editor BrookhaUen Ledger!
Perhaps a short communication from
here in regard to the opening Of the
University, would be of some interest
to your readers.
The University opened here on last
Thursday, under the most favorable
auspices. Something over two humid
red and fifty students were present at
the opening, and the number has been
increased to over three hundred. 1t is
thought by some that the number will
soon reach three, hundred and fifty;
others believe it will reach four hund-
ref
The law class is composed of twenty
six young men and, Others are expect
ed. This is an excellent showing for
the University, and a very decided inn
provement on last year, there being
present at that time only one hundred
and twenty-five pupils. 1t seems as
though the school Is now on the road to.
prosperity, and ere long it will be al
institution of which not only Missis-
sippi but the entire South will pc
proud. It has taken a start forward,
and having, as it does, a corps of pro-
fessors that compare favorably to those
of any other college, there is no sound
why it shonld not regain it's for
mer renown and usefulness. The pro-
fessors all have the interest of the col
at heart, and use their most earn
est efforts for its success.
Three hundred and fifty, perhaps
four hundred, boys at n school a
large attendance and no mistake. A
day undoubtedly dawned for the
University of Mississippi, at the open
ing of the present session. The dawn
has grown brighter and let us hope that
soon it will be a MONDAY sun.

The last Aberdeen Examiner says:
There was a colonization meeting Of
freedmen. called in this city a few days
ago by old Saunders Flynt, who adj
dressed it. He told his hearers, we are
informed, that all that they had TO do
was to make up their mlnds to emigrste
and the 9 would be forthcoming;
that the Government had plenty OF
lands in Texas and Arkansas which
would be appropriated to their USE
Now, in the first place, the Govern
ment does not own a single acre OF land
in Texas, and never did, and in the
second place the United States Govern
ment can make no distinction based
upon color or otherwise, between its
subjects, and has no more power to
donate lands to the freedmen than to
the whites, and there are not half a doz-
en- Congressman in the Uuion that
would dare to vote for such a PROPOSE
ton.

The Season Of IntermlttentS.

- All miasmatic complaints, in other words all
generated by unwholesome exhala-
tions from the earth or water. are prevalent at
this season. In every section subject to the Wis
itation OF fever and ague, or other forms OF in
termittent disease, the canses which produce
these maiadies are now actively at work. This
therefore, is q period OF the year when the in
habitants Of such districts should prepare their
systems to meet the unwhOlesome condition OF
the atmosphere by a course of tonic and altera.
tive treatment. Foremost among the invigor-
means of terrifying the system against all en-
demic and epidemic maladies, stands Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. By a timely use Of the Bitters,
tho teeDlesL resident OF an unnealJny SOIL may
escape the sickness which, without the aid Of
this potent ally of nature, will be apt to overtake
the strongest. Oct. Aim.

in INDIA.

LONDON, Oct. IA Times Madrni
correspondent, writing of the actual eff
fects in that Presidency of famine and
the diseases consequent on famine,
says: "The registered deaths of the
present year up to the end of june, were
1000 above the average. This is
according to the opinion Of the District
officers, and does not represent more
than two-thirds of the actual mortality;
besides, the deaths that have since oc-
Cured have not been officially report
ed" The correspondents conclusion
is. that not less than 750, 600 persons
have fallen victims, and that even
these figures will probably be largely
incfeEsed beforethe famine ana its a.
ter wave Of suffering has finally passed
aHay.

The Coming Man, Possibly.

Gen. Mcclellan is now probably the
coming man. Should he be elected Gov
ernor of New Jersey, and there is no
doubt that he will be, his chances for
the Presidency in 1880 will be very fair.
He is a Democrat of many years stand
ing. He was the boldest General in
the Federal army during the late war,
but should he be nominated by the
Democrats for the Presidency, he
would receive the support of the ''solid
South"

Ohio POiiticians

The politicians are hungry for office
in Ohio. AT the present time there are
six State tickets in the field, as follows:
The Democratic, led by Bishop; the
Radical, led by West; the anti-Admin-

led by johnson; the Workingmen, led
by Bond; and the Prohibition, led by
Stewart. Bishop seems to be leading

Why GIVE SALT TO STOCK.

OF late quite a discussion has sprung
up among slock-raisers and others, rela-
tive to feeding farm animals with salt,
and strange as IL may seem, there is a
goodly number who claim that cattle and
other animals, as sheep, horses, pigs, etc.,
thrive just as well without salt AS with.
One fact. all at the outset OF this discus
sion must admit, namely that the desire
tor salt among animals Is almost univer-
sal. aud thai desire is also very great,
leading them to travel long distances. and
often ln,urring great risk 10 life. in order
to reach saline deposits. This physical
demand is Instructive aud natural, grow
ing out OF the organic demands Ut the
system. In all the mamalia, especially
the vegetable feeders, who from the ma
tare OF their food require u powerful di-
gestion, the necessity ior salt is absolute.
la the healthy human stomach OF most
animals, there Is ut all times, and particu-
larly when the organ is empty vi food.
considerable amount OF Tree muralic
acid, which acts rs powerful solvent OF
all vegetable ingesta. This acid, which
according to physiologists is SO essential
10 good digestion, Is chiefly furnished by
The decomposition OF salt. Chemically
speaking. common salt is q chloride Of
sodium. formed by the union oil murs.ic
acid and soda. In the stomach, by some
mysterious process, salt taken in the food
otherwise. is decomposed and the murat-
ic acid sec Tree, and thus We have 1t ready
in the stomach to do duty in the great Vi
tai process OF digestion. Instincuvely all
animals call loudly for salt, and II there
were no other reasons for feeding it, this
would be sufficient. Without other and
better guides it is always safe to follow
the animal instinct, for to say the least of
them, they always point toward the truth.
Aside IRON reasons above given, it is pos
ilively cruel TO withhold this condiment
from animals that SO strongly desire it.
