ton, and nothing more completely Demon
strates the confidence which Lincoln had IN
Grant than the answer he gave to the i'm
perious Secretary's objection to Grants terms.
Grant in his Memoirs speaks of having had
a spat" with Stanton, and the inference is
that, as ii was about this time, it was this con-
ference he refers to. Stanton's imperiousness OF
will, his habit of almost defying Mr.. Lin
coin at times, are well known to the country.

resembling break between Lincoln and
Stanton. An instance of this kind, the
narrative of which rests on undisputable evil

the basis of all true history, is on the line OF
the one just described.

OUR RUhhl TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers
EXPERIMENT IN FEEDING SHEEP.

The Iowa Experiment Station fed number
of sheep last Winter to test the capacities OF
the different breeds The feeding period COM
DAYS, is all that we have Included in the fol.
lowing notes, as the experiments entered on
the second part of the test into technicalities
not interesting to the average reader:
Four Merino ewes ate an average of z of a
pound of grain and 1.35 pounds of hay each, per
day during the SO days. valued at 1920, the
grain being estimated at l cent per pound, and
the hay at / of q cent per pound. During the
same time four Cotswods ate 80 pounds of
grain and 162 pounds of hay EACH amounting
to $2.S7. Three Dorsets ate II pounds of grain
and 1.76 pounds of hay each, amounting to
S1.93. Four Oxfords ate 80 pounds of grain
and 1.49 pounds of hay each, amounting to
$3.50. Three Hampshiros ate .S5 pounds of
grain and 1.67 pounds Of hay each, amounting to
$500. Three Shropshires ate So pounds of
grain and 1.64 pounds of hay each, amounting
to $154. Three Southdowns ate .27 pounds of
grain and 1.32 pounds Of hay acb amounting
to .95 cents.
The daily cost of feed per sheep in each
breed was, for Merinos, 1.03 cents; Cotswolds,
135 cents, Dorsets, 1.21 cents; Oxfords, 1872
cents Hampshires, Log cents; Shropshires, 81
cents, and Southdowns, go cents.
The gain per day in fractions of pound for
each sheep was, for the Merinos 81; Cotswolds,
IS; Dorsets, .12; Oxfords, ,2i; Hampshires, 10;
Sbropshircs, 10; Southdowns, Z.
The sheep were all coming two years old, ex-
cepting two Oxfords and one Southdown that
were coming one year old ; and one four-year-
old Shropshire; the table shows the gain sepa-
ratey made by the yeariings.
The average gain made by the severa! breeds
varies, and is not large in any case, the inten-
ton being merely to maintain the flock in good
breeding condition. The foregoing figures fairly
represent the relative cost of wintering breed
ing ewes Of these breeds under conditions given
in this experiment.
The flock was turned out only for exercise,
in fair weather, in closed yards, without access
to grass or forage of any kind except as herein
stated Flocks can be most economically win
tered with access to pastures, meadows and
stalk fields during Winter, unless prevented by
deep SHOWS, considerably reducing the cost of
wintering below our fgures but this station
thought it wise to ascertain for the fockmas-
tiers of the Northwest the actual cost of main
tanning breeding flock under rigid condi-
tions.

in putting down the rebellion, composed, as it
then was. of many of the best men of all
parties. When Lee surrendered, and at the
moment the President was assassinated, Lin
coin and Grant were nearer in accord as to
motives, aims intentions, and methods than
any other two men on the Union side IN the
country. Had Lincoln lived Grant would
have been not less his supporter and right
hand man than he was while the war was IN
progress. The native qualities of the two men
and their aims and ideas rs to affairs drew them
together. 1t was this that made Lincoln say
to Stanton, "The General is right; he must be
allowed to have his way! Give him the power
and the responsibility, and he will do the WORK

ditions which he did in accepting the Lieu

HISTORY OF THE CORPS.

wing under Gen. Wright, pushed rapidly
forward and drove the enemy, covering and
protecting the left flank of Gen. Stevens.
Firing continued until about a. m, when
it was decided that any further attempt on
the fort would cause useless sacrifice of
life, and orders for the withdrawal of the
troops were given.
Gen. Benham was relieved from his COM
mand for his action in this affair, and placed
in arrest by Gen. Hunter. His case was,
after a long delay, examined by the Judge
Advocate General of the Army, who on Jan.
&C. 1863, recommended his restoration to COM
mand, and early in 1868 he was placed in
command of the Engineer Brigade, Army OF
the Potomac

of Secessionville was 6S3 killed, wounded
and missing, distributed as follows:

Shortly after the battle of Secessionville
the Union troops were Withdrawn from
James Island, and no attempt was made for
some time to capture Charleston, and no
event of Importance occurred IN the Depart
ment of the South until after the organlza-
ton of the Tenth Corps.
Gen. Mitchell, on assuming command OF the
Department Of the South aud the Tenth Corps,
sent out several expeditions. One, under the
command of Brighten. John NJ. Brannan, went
from Hilton Head up the st. Johns River, Fla,
and reoccupied Jacksonville, which place had
been evacuated April 8 by the Union forces. 1t
returned to Hilton Head On Oct IL, having
been absent ID days. lie also projected an expe-
dition to the Coosawhatchie River to destroy the
Charleston & Savannah Railroad at Pocotallgo
and vicinity, preliminary to the renewal OF
operations directly against Charleston. ms
expedition consisted of about 800 men, under
the command of Brig. Gen. John NJ Brannan,
embarked ON transports, and on Oct. % went
up Broad River, conveyed by naval war vessels,
and effected landing at the mouth OF the 70
cotalgo River, at place known as Mackeys

rected to move with his regiment-the 4oth

He effected landing and marched upon the
village, and when within about 100 yards of

with troops, came up at high speed, and al
though fired upon succeeded in reaching the
village, and reinforced the troops then guard

destroying the railroad, fell back to the trans
port, and successfully reached Mackey'S Point

Gen. Brannan, in command OF the main
column, as soon as the landing had been effect
ed, advanced in the direction of the Pocotaligo
Bridge. After marching about five and half
miles he was opened upon by field battery
from a position On the plantation known as
Caston's. He soon drove the enemy, and, fol-
lowing them up, was again opened upon by
battery posted on Frampton's Plantation about
one and a half miles in advance of the place
where he was first engaged. After severe
fight he was again successful in driving the
enemy. Night coming on, and the movement
having developed the fact that large infantry
force was within supporting distance, he
deemed it prudent to withdraw, and success

command, and arrived at Hilton Head on the

sance was $40 killed, wounded, and missing,

at the helm; for who could tell what ambitions
had been fred by the war; what objects might
still be in the minds of men? These and SINH
lar reasons were put to Grant why he should
not decline the Presidency.
This they themselves testified in private and
public. II has been charged that Grant desired
the Presidency. If he ever did, it was for rea-
sons that very many who had acted promi-
nent part in putting down the rebellion felt,
and so saw that ii was still great duty he owed
TO the Union to be it's first President after the
war was over, and the work of recon
struction still remained to be done. 1t
has been said, and probably with con-
siderable truth, that Grant was not I'M
willing to be the candidate of any party so
long as that party was composed of men who
had been true TO the Union, had fought against
the rebellion, and in other ways done what
| they could to save the Union. Indeed, there
| is warrant for saying that Grant at first
thought that, regardless Of party or any feel
| ing but Unionism as the war had emphasized
| it, if it were possible, the President should be
chosen to succeed the unfortunate experience
| that followed in the four years after Dir. Lin.
coins death. But during those four years hs
became convinced that this was not practicable
