GEN. HowARD's command struck
the hostiles on the Sth near the head OF
Butler Creek, charged upon them three
times, scattering their forces, and cap
turing their provisions, ammunition and
camp material. The fighting was quite
severe, but the only casualties reported
are five men wounded and 20 horses
killed. The Indian loss is not known.
The brunt of the battle was borne by
Col. Bernard's 1st Cavalry, who are
highly complimented for their bravery.
Gen. Miles had an engagement
with the hostiles near Cayuse Station,
about six miles from Pendleton, Oregon,
on the 14th, which lasted several hours,
but was without decisive result, further
than to hold the hostiles in check until
Col. Bernard came up with reinforce
ments, which were expected on the fol-
lowing day. The main body ofthe hostiles
seemed to be in that locality, although
it was reported portion had crossed
the Columbia River. The settlers in the
valley had all fled to Pendleton, where
Notifications had been erected and other
means of defense provided.

The Missouri Democratic State Con-
vention, held at Jefferson City on the
10th, nominated Hon. E. H. Norton for
Supreme Judge, James E. McHenry
for Register of Lands, r. d. Snan-
non for Superintendent of Schools,
and A. M. Sewer for Railroad
Commissioner. The platform adopt
ed demands the substitution of Gov
eminent legal tenders for national
bank notes, such issue of Government
money to be q full legal tender for all
debts, public and private, except where
otherwise provided by law, and to be
used by the Government in the purchase
and retirement of Understanding
bonds; the unrestricted coinage of sill
yer, and the unconditional repeal of the
Resumption act. The platform also
declares its opposition to any further
contraction of the currency, and to a
protective tariff. The decision of the
Forty-fourth Congress as to the Presi-
dental incumbency is regarded as
finality, but that decision, tits held, should
not prevent full investigation of
the alleged frauds connected with
the election, and which the Electoral
Commission wrongfully refused to in
qure into. An equitable appropriation
by the Government for the improvement
of the Mississippi and its tributaries is
demanded, as both just and expedient.

An absurd disposition prevails among
many impulsive and unrehecting persons in
America, to treat the increase of population
In our cities and towns as unnatural amp u1.
healthy; to deplore what Is called the inds-
position OF our people to engage in agricul-
lure; and to urge the young and enterpris-
ing to leave p0pulous and well-settled dis
tricts to brave the hardships aud perils of a
rude border life. But we have been unable
to find the evidence of this alleged neglect
of agriculture. The Astounding produces of
this department of human art have never
in our age of the Repu bile, been greater
than at this very time. Our exports of
wheat, tobacco, hay, cheese, butter, provis-
ions, cotton and all other matters usually
needed for a foreign markets are in such
masses assto attest the unfagging toll and
enterprise of our countrymen, and sustain
braveiy the vast burthen of our foreign
commerce. Of what use would it do for our
countrymen to raise more of these PRODUCTS
We had au evidence of that folly during the
civil war, when corn was produced at the
west in such prodigious quantities that it was
actually burned in Illinois for fuel, as the
municipalities would not pay the farmer.
And so it would be again in almost any line
to which our agricultursts could turn their
attention. If we raise too much of anything
the losses sustained by the producers are
most disheartening. Hundreds can bear us
out In the statemint that in some seasons,
after all the care and anxiety and labor of
raising crop, they have at last found che
markets glutted and prices too low to paw
their expenses. There is therefore no more
sense In setting everybody to farming, than
there would be in setting them all to making
hats, or boots, or fans, or steam fire engines.

AGRICULTURAL.


A Philadelphia firm are engaged ia the ex-
tensive manufacture of mince meat and plum
pudding TOR the market, A large three story
brick building 32x12O is exclusively devoted
to this business, being provided with all the
most approved facilities and machinery. the
latter being driven by a steam engine on
the premises. Concerning the mince meat,
of which the daily product at this season of
the year exceeds twelve tons or over %, 900
pounds, the process OF manufacture is some
thing as follows: The beef and beef suet which
is always in Its prime, is carefully selected,
cooked in large steam boilers and then soaked
in spirits. On the second floor immense
quantities of apples are pared and cored by
machinery. At the opposite end of this story
are long tables of layer, Sultana and seedless
raisiDs, currants, lemons and other fruits, being
carefully picked and sorted by girls and men.
The currants and raisins are thence passed
to large water sieve, and thoroughly wash
ed and separated from grit and dirt. The
whole of the above articles are then placed
into huge hoppers, with ground cinnamon,
nutmegs, allspice and cloves, and delivered to
the watts containing Cuba sugar and perfectly
pure spirits, where they are united, and the
mass passed through the cutters for the final
process of packing for the market. The plum
pudding is subsequent manufacture, and
for which entirely different machinery is used
It is prepared with great care and cleanliness,
and is composed of sugar, raisins, currants.
citrons, lemon and orange peel, beef suet,
spices, -four and bread crumbs. When these
ingredients are properly put together, cans are
filled out, weighed and sealed and afterwards
boiled sufficient length of time to produce
the article desired. Twenty-Five hundred
dozen cases of this plum pudding will be put
up during the next thirty days Thus are the
arts of the manufacturer gradually encroach-
ing upon the domain of the housekeeper, and
supplying in convenient packages and at less
ened cost the good things of life.-Erchange.
