Of silt at pleasure, it is found that IN the
season of the year when the grass is making

Of salt upon the animal system, its use serves

Duusaingault made some observations
concerning the influence of salt upon cattle

does not exert that beneficial influence upon
the growth of cattle and the produ"iuu of
flesh which is usually attributed To it. His
experiments extend over a period of thirteen
months, and were made upon a number of
steers, some of. which ha heir ratious salt

Grerte9 forecer If the South will for twelve months
withhold her cotton tobacco, rice sugar &C., fro..:
the markets of the North, and all commercial
transactions with her people, which the South is
able to do and can do without loss or injury, and
pass laws TO suspend the collection Of debts for the
same length of time. When the servants, laborers,
mechanics and employees, in their manufacturing
establishments would be thrown out of employment,
and would rise in rebellion much sooner than will
our slaves, and demand to know "why they have
been diScharged?" And when told that it was on
account Of the vile "negro equality" doctrine of
their lords and masters and their attempt to deprive
the South Of her property and equal rights in the
Union, such a revolution in public sentiment will
take place there as will hurl from place and power
the vile demagogucal leaders, and put to rest aboi
tionism; and those who have been and are now
preaching it, will be hung by theis own people, and
save as that trouble.
A commercial dissolution is infinitely preferable
to political one because it insures to rights
in the Union without the danger of blood-shed, and
will place us upon grounds of independence and Of
commercial prosperity, and thereby foster our own
mechanics and manufacturers. Had the South as
sumed position of this kline twenty years ago, the
hydra-headed monster, abolitionsm would have been
crushed at once, and the nation would have enjoyed
degree of peace, happiness and kindly fraterna
feeling unexamped in the history of nations 1t is
not yet too late to do this and restore those kindly
feelings once SO happily existing between the Sec
tons of our great country-or in the articles of pro-
duction above named, the South has the power if
she wiH only exercise it udiciously and dscreetly
to dictate her own policy to the world.

You will please allow me to say, that present this Bible in behalf of the lady friends of temperance; receive it then as an expression of our best wishes for the of the noble of temperance. We are interested in an extended sense for the prosperity of the high and ennobling cause which you and your worthy coajutors have espoused for would say with becoming modesty, that we sustain to the opposite sex the several re lations of mother, wife, sister and daughter; and we humbly implore the blessings of kind heaven upon your noble order. May God bless and ex- tend the cause of temperance, until she embraces in her lovely folds the entire brotherhood of men Should God in mercy condescend to hear this prayer, this world of dust would indeed be para dsesober fathers, sober husbands, sober brothers, sober sons-all, all happy. all redeemed, all free.

According to previous announcement, the supporters of John c. Breckinridge met at the Market House on Wednesday night last, for the purpose of forming club. Quite a number of the bone and sinew of the country rallied at the call and pledged allegiance to the gallant Ken tuckian. The meeting was large and en- thusiaslic. A few Bell and Everett men present seemed emhuSed for once in their lives with the glorious spirit of patriotism. We hope the Breckinrilge men all over the State will organize without delay. We believe the State, if properly convassed, will go for the only ticket that recognizes fully the rights of the South, by an overwhelm- ing majority. If those who are true to the South will stand by their colors, and per init no spacious and plausible sophistry to delude them into the belief that to con- promise any of our rights is the proper way to prevent fresh aggressions, then will we carry the State triumphantly for John c. Breckinridge.

 We have just passed through fierce and hardly contested State campaign. We have reason to believe that many who should have been true to democratic prin- ciples and democratic usages, have ignored the one and forgotten the other, but we hope that in the coming canvass they will not sell their principles again, and keeping clear of all entangling alliances with the unprincipled leaders of broken down or ganizations, that they win gather to man in defence of the rights and institutions of the South. Let the dead past bury its dead," and uniting as band of brothers without pickering and jealousy, let us unfurl the banner of John c. Breckinridge to the breeze.

 His chances for the presidency are equal if not superior to those of his opponents Lincoln excepted. In supporting him we stand by our principles, and if we are de- feated, we are not disgraced. Those who desire victory are oftentimes greater than those who win it. The proud conscious ness of having done our duty is sweeter, deeper pleasure than the widest exutations of success. Let the South be true to herself let her sons, regardless of party ties, rally 10 her defence-and let her spurn from her councils and her bosom those who are will fully false to her veal and her interests. Sons of the South, rally to the standard of Breckinridge and Lane, or if you prefer it be ignoble slaves forever.

not forbear again calling the attention of our
farming friends to the admirable facilities
possessed by Mr.. Lamoine for turning their
feeces of wool into durable and beautiful
cloth. The proprietor Of these. works did
not start out under the most favorable aus
pices, for the farmers had been SO long de-
pendent upon the dry goods and clothing
stores for their woollen goods that they did
not think they could be had elsewhere. We
are happy TO learn that Mr.. Lanoine has
been steadily winning his way to public ia

are most encouraging. -I..ge


We can assure all those who keep sheep
that they cannot better dispose of their wool,
than to have it manufactured by Mr.. La
moline. We know from personal trial that
his csssimeres are fine and handsome5o of the
most substantial quality, and of beautiful
and fadeless colors. We have examined
specimens of his tweeds, which would do
credit to the best eastern factories. All his
cloths are made from the best of wool, and
whether coarse or fine, those who use than
will find they are as general thing far supe-
rior to most goods of eastern manufacture,
and at a far less price when the quality is ta-
ken into consideration. We trust those in
terested will not forget what we have said Of
Mr.. Lamoine's establishment, and that they
will be induced to give him a call.

Z ATTENPT TO DRsTRoY A RAILROAD TRAIN.-
On Saturday afternoon, as the S:2O express
train on the Cleveland and Erie Railroad was
nearing Euclid, rail was discovered lying
across the track. The engine was reversed,
the brakes applied and the train stopped as
soon as possible, and 50 narrowly did it es-
cape accident that the COW catcher was upon
the rail when the train was stopped. A
short distance from this rail was another, and
still another, wood being piled upon them
to keep them in their places. Had the
watchful engineer not seen the obstructions
at the instant he did, the train must have
been thrown from the track with loss of life
and limb.


That the rails were placed there purposely
by some fendish villain, there can be no
doubt. 1t is the frat attempt that we have
ever known upon this road to wilfuIly en-
danger the trains.

the kings guards drunk, and carry of
my brother body.


As soon as the answer was given, the
princess, as had been arranged, seized the
youths arm and gave the alarm that he
might be apprehended. But what was
her astonishment and terror when the
arm she grasped came away from the
body, and remained alone in her possess
ion, while the thief quietly glided off
and made his escape. On light being
brought the princess found that she had
dead mans arm in her grasp!


Rhemphis was now in perfect despair.
This extraordinary thief was too much
for even king to contend with. The
daughter could not explain the circum.
stance of the arm, as the thief had ap
peared to be most agreeable young man
with arms the same as other IN ortals.


Fairly baffled, Rhemphis now proclaim.
ed that if the thief would come forward,
he would not only be pardoned but re.
warded handsomely. The young trick
ster trusted the royal word, and immedi-
ately presented himself before the king,
to whom he candidly explained the whole
secret of the movable stone in the wall.


But the arm-the dead arm?' said the
monarch.


The youth smiled, and replied that,
guessing the princess would have orders
to seize him after his confession, he had
brought the arm with him under his cloak
for the purpose, having taken it from the
body of person recently dead.


The old king was delighted with the
manners and address of the young thief.
In fact 'he looked upon him (says Herod.
otus) as the cleverest of human beings,
and gave him his daughter in marriage
an arrangement to which the princess is
not recorded as having made any OBJ
jections.
