In a few days after wards the cattle were restored to health

 The tail may be saved to the animal by splitting the skin about ? or inches, just at the upper edge of the brush or long hairs, filling with handful of salt, wrapping cloth round so as to hold the salt to the proper place. Tie tight enough to secure the salt but not to stop the circulation of the blood. Let the cloth remain round the tail some weeks We have known cows double their quantity of milk in A hours after the above application.

EXCITEMENT IN MIssIssIPPI. - Thrss Mea
LyRchsd.-The Nashville Gazette publishes a let
ter from a merchant at Friar's Point, dated the
1lth inst, giving the particulars Of the recent
hanging there of three men. The writer says: On
yesterday evening two gins and a negro quarter
were fred simultaneously, doubtless by the pro-
curement Of these wretches. The night was lit
up for miles around. The vigilance committee
were soon under arms, and proceeded to the room
Of three carpenters, one by the name Of Ramlin,
the others unknown, and took them and hung
them to a tree, and afterward cut them down and
burned them. The town is now under arms, the
military parading the streets, and all In excite
meAt and alarm. This morning the remainder Of
the northern men were sent up the river on the
steamer Peytons; some of them were branded
with the letters Z. (gin burners) before shipped
Fourteen gins have been burned in this county
during the last six weeks and the people have de
termined to stop it. An aboIitionist was hanged,
bareled up and rolled into the river at this point
last week, and II was probably TO ayenge his
death that the last gins were fired. A negro i'm
plicated the men who were hung. He said they
had told him all the negroes were to be free next
March, when Lincoln becomes President, and
that there will be general rising of the negroes
then. The vigilance committee have sworn to
hang every northern man who comes here from
this time until the 18th Of March, and all such had

ask this question with reference to the
Breckinridge party in New York, and we re
ply that they certainly will. Since the elec.
tions in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
they feel that those States may go for Lincoln
They know that if they do and he gets New
York also, he will be elected by the popular
vote. Their only hope is to throw the cleo
tion into the House, and they feel that that
cannot be done, if Lincoln wins New Y York
1t isa matter of vast Importance with them,
therefore, to prevent New York's going for
! Lincoln. For our part, we believe that Lin
coins defeat in New York will do Breckin-
ridge no good, for we are Of the opinion that
he will not be able to get into the House Of
Representatives at all Douglas, Bell and
Lincoln will be the candidates going into the
House, if the election goes there. But then
the Breckenridge party imagine that Breck-
nridge may get into the House, and so they
are working for it. They will devote their
best energies, we think, for the success of
the fusion just made against Lincoln in New

From what know of it, 7 would as soon

true way to happiness is to take the drops
of happiness as God gives them to us eve

be happy when he is plodding over his

NEGLECTED DUTY.-No man has any
right to manage his affairs in such way
that his sudden death would bring bur-
dens and losses on other people. There
may be rare cases where man really can
not help entanglements, or where, from
ineXperience, or lack ofjudgment, he has
brought his affairs into such state that
the interests of others depend upon his
life he should make all possible haste to
extricate himself from such position.-
Honorand honesty demand that he should
so conduct his business that his death
should cause no one to be wronged And
as to dying, although all mon every where
believe that all other men will surely die,
yet they unite in thinking that they them
selves are exceptions to this rule; or, at
least, they act as if they thought so. This
is radically wrong 1t is every mans du-
ty in every transaction in life, to be inilu-
enced by the fact that at any day or at
any hour he may die. ....

The Herald recently announced itself in favor
of non-intervention with slavery both by Con-
gress and the Territorial Legislatures. We ask
ed the editor to tell Us, if neither Congress nor
Territorial Legislature could legislate upon
the question, how he proposed to give slave pro-
perty the benefit of legislative protection? To
this question he found himself unable to reply.
He therefore again assumed the role of the "Art-
full Dodger," as he did in replying to "Douglas
Democrat touching his former Know Nothing
ism. He lodged the question, by partial and
unfair quotation of an article in the COURIER of
June I'd. Why does not the editor answer like
an honest disputant? A plain and proper ques-
ton, put in q respectful manner. deserves a
plain and frank answer always. Besides, the
Herald editor knows that is low scale of mo-
rality which justifes him in quoting portion of
an article in order to misrepresent the author S
meaning. Why did not the Herald quote the
words preceding the extract from Mr. Latham
speech? Why2 Because such words would
have shown that our sole object in making the
Quotation was to prove that Mr.. Latham would
not JOIN the eQllOT OI tue otoftuH" AZ DNAtiHS
the Baltimore nominations, unless the platform
adopted at Charleston be changed, so as to
pledge the party in favor of Congressional in
tervention" This was the point that we were
treating. The editor of the Herald knows it
The editor of the Herald knows that we did not
mean to be understood as endorsing Latham's
riewsin favor of Congressional Intervention. For
in the very same paper we stated that the Standard
had furnished the interior papers with toplc
"by denouncing the doctrine of Congressional
non-interference with slavery anywhere in the
Republ;c-a doctrine achich is one Of the ctief
planks in the Cincinnati platform" !" sand by
endorsing the Black Republican doctrine OF the
right and duty of Congress tolegislate upon the
subject of slavery in the Territories"

that he msrepresented our position in this mat
ter, will doubtless descend from his dignity
sdits, upon which he cuts so comfcal figure,
and vouchsafe that I" further reply" And that
he may do it the better, we again repeat our
question: If you are opposed both to Congress
sional and Territorial legislation upon the sub
ject OF slavery in the Territories, how do you
propose to give slave property the benefit of
zegistatire protection? Now give us plain and
frank answer. Remember that you are now in
California, and that therefore your "Yankee ar
guments" out of place, and that the role of
