AN INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE OF
SHILOH.

The Adjutant General of
Ohio has recently received the
following letter
"CHAkLEsToN, S. c., March %, 1877.
S1R-In conversation, yes
terday, with an ex-Confeder~
ate soldier, | learned the fol-
lowing facts, which I deem Of
sufficient Importance to lay be-
fore you
At about s o'clock on the
first morning Of the battle of
Shiloh, after the Confederate
infantry under Gen. Breckin-
ridge had driven a body of
Federal troops from their po-
sition toward the river, a bat
terry Of &c rgia artillery fol-
lowing close behind came upon
the dead body a lady lying
outside Of a tent in rear Of
what was supposed to be the
camp Of the 55lh Ohio Volun-
,eers-many of the dead of that
regiment, dressed in 10 ave
uniform, beng On the ground
By the side of the dead lady
was a little child, beautifully
clad, who seemed to be uucon-
sc;ous of its mothers DEATH
Some of the men Of the bates
ry covered the child with their
blankets and placed it in
charge of two of the Federal
prisoners, and then passed on.
What became Of the child af>
terward cannot be positively
asccrtalned, hut it is thought
that the Confederate Division
surgeon saw to its weltare.-
The breastpin, having the Ia
oy's likeness on one side a d
that OF gentleman in citi-
Zen's dress on the other side,

am assured would be glad to
return it to the husband or
relative of the deceased lady.

part OF your State the Doth
Ohio game, bnt the records Of
your office will show that fact.
A knowledge OF the above
made known to any Of the sur
vivlng officers in the district in
which the regiment was raised
may be Of interest to some of
it's living members, as would a
knowledge Of what became OF
the child to the survivors OF

weigh from 9 to 10 lbs per gallon, which

the Pelican State. In many
respects the fairest of the
Commonwealth Of the South,
the lot of Louisiana has by
perversity of fate been most
pitiful. Her lands laid waste
by neglect, her treasury strips
ped again and again by those
who claimed to hold her hon
or in their keeping, her credit
made by-word in the mar
kets of the world, her soil Of
ten drenched in the blood Of
her sons, crushed to earth by
military power and kept
PROSTATE that her ravishers
might trade in her agony, for
twelve years she has been a
shame to herself and a re-
proach to the American Re-
public. The story Of the suf-
ferings of the people of Lonis-
lana, sometimes through their
own folly, but oftener by rea-
son of the sins of others, will
always constitute a page in
history which every good citi-
zen of a nation hoasting its
freedom will long to efface.
but ever it will remain lnef
faceable. It will be good for
tune as great as we may dare
anticipate if the lessons writ
ten on that page are remem-
bered as a warning and but
for profit.
The decision Of the Cabinet
yesterday quickly followed
the disintegration Of the
Packard Legislature, aud the
Presidents order for the re-
moval of the troops from the
State House will be the signal
for the supremacy in name as
we'll as in fact Of the legally
elected government repre~
sented by Governor Nichols.
Thus Louisiana is accorded
right Of which she has long
been deprived, a right denied
no other State in the Union
since the close of the recon~
struction era, except to South
Carolina during the five
months ending on the 10Th of
April, the right to be governed
by persons chosen by a popu>
lar majority in accordance
with the ferns Of law. Three
times have the people of that
State gone to the polls with
the assurance that their voice
would be respected, but each
time their disappointment was
the same so that for FIVE
years, ever since the election
of McEnery in 1872, Loujsi-
ana has been pinned to the
earth by the bayonet for the
benefit of her despoilers. 1t
has been said that she has
shown herself incapable of
self-government. 1t is libel.
She has never had the chance.
Here and there through the
long period Of oppression the
people, goaded to desperation,
have arisen against their un-
rulers, but the wonder
is not that such things have
occurred, but that a free peo-
pie should have patiently
borne so much. Never was

Eject OF Potatoes on MiIk.

We do not think the partial expert.
ments upon this matter are properly in
terpreted, even by those who have made
them. 1t has been found that a large feed
Of potatoes lessons the percentage OF hay
digested; but we think the large amount
Of starch contained in the potato causes
loosenesS Of the bowels, and thus impairs
the digestive function. We have often
fed potatoes to cows in milk with great
benefit. Our plan has been to run pota-
toes through root-slicer, and feed four
quarts at time, mixed with cut hay and
u pint Of oil-meal, or pea-meal, or a quart
Of oats. And since the experiments men
toned, We have again tried this mode OF
feeding and found it to work admirably
well. The potato is very imperfect
food, being principally starch, having too
little nitrogen and phosphate of lime to
make milk; but it is the richest root
raised on the farm, and when fed in small
quantity, raw, will regulate the bowels
and have similar effect TO green grass.
1t is 4 very laxative food in the raw state,
and that is, probably, the cause of its Pc
culiar effect upon the digestion Of hay.
When the potato is cooked the effect
is quite different and its value is greatly
increased. A small quantity Of potatoes,
say four quarts as a food, will increase
the yield of milk nearly as much as so
much grain, provided they are fed with
other food rich in the constituents of milk.
The American dairyman is prone to feed
one thing at time, almost wholly, instead
OF giving variety in food which will fur
nish all the elements required in the pro-
per proportion. We found an objection
to the use of oil-meal when fed above MO
pounds per day to a COW, as it is too lax
alive. We found one quart per day the
most profitable, and have also found one
peck Of potatoes per day, in two feeds, the
most proftable,-Ex.

Hay for Hens.

The Poultry World advises the use Of
hay in the diet of fowls in winter, as they
eat grass to advantage in summer. "Bulk
in food is required for health as well for
poultry as man or animals. Rich and
concentrated food is not readily digested
and invites disease. 1t is stated that. in
importation, the life Of valuable horse
was saved on shipboard by feeding to him
cut shavings in the absence of hay. in or
der to dilute, so to speak, his grain diet.
Some think a craving for bulky food is
one chief cause of feather eating in win
ter, or among fowls confined. Now just
try and secure good supply Of second
crop hay, short, and, if possible, contain
ing clover Cure only enough to pre-
serve, and your fowls will eat portion
OF it all winter when they would turn
away from stale cabbage. What is not
eaten will furnish untold amusement In
scratching over Remember in winter, II
poultry stand on one leg, unemployed, oil
day, they are disposed to have the "blues. y
Idle meditations leads always to bad hab.
its; while healthy mind, in vigorous
body, suggests business, which, with fowls,
means winter eggs and early chickens.
Secure your rowen this month before 1t Is
too late, if you have not already attended
to the matter, and before severe frost II
possible, for it is injured in quality by be-
ing frost.bitten." The above advice Is
good although few suppose hens would
eat hay if given them but this is because
they have not watched the habits OF their
poultry. We have noticed them often
picking short bits of cut hay of almost
any:variety, and hay cooked for cattle j.
eaten greedily by them. We advise short
cut clover well boiled for them. Let them
have the water it is boiled in. Clover is
better than any other hay because it pos
sesses eeg-making nutriment, besides fibre
to separate the particles of grain. 1t Is
not bulk, as mere quantity that is needed
but coarse fibre to separate the concen-
trated food in the stomach, so that the
gastric juice can circulate through the
mass. 1t is the porOusness Of food that
facilitates digestion That is the point
in the ration Of shayings with the grain
in the food Of the horse. The stomach
cannot well manage solid food. Only u
few minutes will be required to prepare
this hay for a large number of poultry

The CtiIifU of SMOic.

We have now throughout the central
and western parts of this State about
three and half feet of snow on an aver
age, and nearly that perhaps in other Sec
tons This under ordinary conditions
means a good year for farm productions
Ia follow. 1t Is to be considered that II
the snow lies as it is now for any consid-
cradle portion of the winter, it furnishes
protection for every variety of root and
plant in the soil, and that when it melts
1t is to fill the soil with water sufficient
10 carry us along till June almost indie
pendently OF spring rains 1t will raise
every spring aud every stream, as well
as supply the requisite moisture to the
soil itself, and the effect of this will be
to secure to Us favorable conditions OF
moisture at 4 season when it is essential
to the success and effectiveness Of all
kinds of manures that will be applied in
the spring for the crops Of the coming
year.
Ga digging down to set telegraph poles

ago, though every kind Of soil from the
lightest sand to clay, the workmen no.

or thereabouts, and if the deep coating Of
snow continues even that will disappear,
so that when the ground opens it will be
Just right 10 drink in the moisture from
the melting away Of this deep covering.
We can hardly conceive of conditions that
bid fair 10 be more favorable for the open
ing of the'period Of rapid plant growth.
We need not allude to the many incl
dental advantages to be derived from such
a depth of snow lying continuously for
some weeks or months through the win
ter. Snow is Of itself, something Of fer
tilizcr and besides it holds many organic
substances, leaves, &c, in place, thus per-
venting some loss TO the land from driy-
ing winds that sweep over the surface Of
our fields. 1t is Of immense advantage in
protecting our roads from wear and tear.
To our raral and suburban districts it
means thousands Of dollars Of saving in
this direction, to say nothing of the ccono
my Of teaming with heavy loads on run
ners as compared with wheels. With all
the inconvenience sometimes attending
it, we hold that such a covering Of snow
is of immense advantage 10 the farmers
