fourth mucIlage with three-fourlhs milk,
progressively increasing 1t, so that by
the end of a fortnight il willhe in equal
parts: by, the end of the third week, one
and a-half mucilage to one part milk
! by the end Of the fourth week the muci-
Iage may be given in.double the quantity
of milk, and skim milk substituted fol
new milk; and by the end of the sixth
week, the mucilage will be gradually in
creased in the proportion of two and a
half to one of milk; and from that on till
the tenth week the milk may be grada-
ally reduced, so that by that time they
may be fed wholly on mucilage, till they
are fifteen or sixteen weeks old, when
they may be weaned.


During all this time, if too early in the
season to put out the calves, they should
be comfortably housed, we'll ventilated,
and kept perfectly sweet and clean; a
little sweet hay tied in bundles and sus
pended, so that they may play with it and
learn to nibble and eat it; and littls
pounded chalk, mixed with salt, given in
trpughs to lick at pleasure, which pre-
vents acldity in the stomach, and the due
formation of cud. Small Jumps of linseed
cake should be given in other troughs,
which they will soon learn 10 suck, i; a
lIule pains are taken to put bit in 'helr
mouths after they have taken their meals
OF milk and mucilage. When housed il
will be advisable TO have separate pen
for each calf of sufficient Size to walk
about, so that they do not get into the
habit of sucking each other and swallow
ing the hair, which, united with the Curd
by the regurgilating process going on in
the stomach, form round balls which are
indigestibIe, AMI is the fertile cause Of
the death of many promising animals
The following scale of quantity of milk
or milk and mucIlage combined for each
calf may be useful, but should be altered
according 10 circumstances: For the first
week the calf may get from three to four
quarts daily; for the second week, four
to five quarts; fifth and sixth weeks,
eight TO ten quarts; six to eight weeks,
ten to twelve quarts per day, and so on,
increasing the quantity about one quart
per week per calf lll weaving time. "


Some parties dc not give so much
liquid food per day, bat make 1t up by
giving them finely cut ROOFS, dry oat meal
&c; but the animals are much too young
for such food, though they may get the
minced roots so as to train them into their
use. Hay tea is an admirable thing also
TO mix with the mucllage and milk, as II
contains large amount of nutrIment in
a soluble form.


In the summer time the calves may be
left out onthe grass, both day and night,
in fortnight after they are ealved (and
fed as already described they should be
in the house); but warm sheltered pad
dock should be provided for them, and in
wet weather they should have access to
a covered shed.-Irish Farmers Gazette

depecated the custom that prevails
not only among the poorer classes,

was nothing more dismal than to be
shown into fine but what be might

the largest and best rooms should be
used for ordinary purposes. His
object was that there should be no

document, and presents calm, dispassionate

hereafter to be pursued by the government in
dealing with the gigantic rebellion with which
the federal powers are now graphing.

We get nothing further from Buell. and

both Of them in a few daye Evidently
a vast deal of dissatisfaction exists among
our people, and we are not surprised al
it. Confident expectations are disap-
pointed. High hopes are blasted. Every
one feels that things have occurred which
there were means 10 prevent and which
should have been prevented, But let us
be patient, bear and scrutinize all the
facts bearing upon the case, aud then
pronounce the Judgment that shall seem
to be deserved. We still hope TO find
that no confidence has been misplaced.


Bragg is by this time we presume, in
Tennessee. We are anxious TO learn
whether he is followed across the line
by Buell.. If he is not, we shall no doubt
hear soon Of his striking a heavy blow
somewhere. His army cannot afford 10

common-sense and history indicate the re-
verse? can conceive that slave might kill
his master to secure his own liberty or from
revenge. Indeed l wonder there are not more
such cases. But it is hardly conceivable that if
he had refrained while slave he would do it
because his master had given him his freedom
Such result of voluntary emancipation is I'M
natural, and has no parallel in history. 1t was
the farthest from it possible when England
emancipated the slaves in the West Indies
And as for the horros of St Domingo, il was
not emancipation that melted them to rise
against their masters, but the attempt to re-
enslave them after they had promised them
liberty on condition that they would help de-
fend the country. That there is danger of in
surrection among slaves is not doubted but
the object would be to emancipate themselves


Isit not strange that the opponents of eman-
cipation can find no valid argument against it,
except by grouping together all the evils and
dangers which attened slavery, and assuming
they would all to be multiplied ten fold by
emancipation. 1t reminds me of the woman
who said she could not think of combing out
her hair every day, for it almost killed her
when she did it only once fortnight. L.

1t is objected that the negroes will not work
olish slavery would be just to let the slaves
loose, to cut their masters throats, and run riot
generally, and finally starve themselves; and
we are referred to the horrors of st. Domingo,
etc. But is there any proof or any probability
of such result? 1t is indeed difficult to dis
prove bald assertion, of what ciu be in the
future. Ifmy neighbor should affirm that al
ter the first Of January, water would uniform
ly run up hill, don't know how l could dis
prove his assertion. That the shiftless and i'm
provident habits which centuries of slavery
have generated, would be at once overcome is
not to be expected. But that blacks are nat
urally any more indsposed to labor than
whites in the same circumstances, or that the
stimulus of wages would have less effect on
them, remains to be proved. 1t is said that
the emancipated slaves in the British West
Indies refuse to work on the sugar plantations.
1t is true many of them refuse TO work for the
low wages offered, but the reason is they can
do better to cultivate land on their own ac-
count. But does this prove that they will not
work, or that they cannot take care of them
selves? The free negroes in our country, other
things being equal, are at least as industrious
as the whites. In the South they are more in
dustrious, aad live more comfortable than the
poor non-slaveholding whites. In our north
ern cities many of them are wealthy-and in
proportion to their numbers fewer of them are
paupers or criminals: and all this while they
are by law, or public opinion, excluded from
the more lucrative employments. Indeed it is
only few weeks since there were riotous at
tempts by other laborers in some of our cities
to stop the negroes from work, on the
ground that they would supercede white la
borers.

Much has been said about emancipation and
abolition and their probable results, and much
that indicates very little knowledge of what
they are in themselves. Some tell us they are
emanciptionists. What is the difference?
Sidces are emancipated and slavery abolished.


Every STAKEHOLDER in South Carolina, might
emancipate all his slaves to-day but, the laws
remaining the same, they might, tomorrow.
purchase from other States, and there would
be emancipation of slaves, but not the aboli-
tion ofslavery. 1t is generally thought that
the abolitionsts of the last twenty-five or thir-
ty years, have held some very unreasonable
and impractical notions on this subject. What
are they? They have maintained that slavery
was not only inexpedient, but morally wrong
and unjust, both as a system and practice;
and consequently that IL is the duty OF the
slave States to repeal the laws which sustain
it, and thus abolish the system; but if they
will not do this then it is the duty of individ-
ual owners to emancipate. When asked how
this could be done, they have told us that they
would prefer to leave the mode, in its details,
to those who are more Immediately interested
and have the power TO act; that where there
is a win there will be found way; but in sub
stance that the laws should be so changed that
the negro should no longer be held as a slave,
chattel, mean article Of property as now,
but recognized as human being-a person
with such personal and natural rights as be-
long to men-the right Of a man to his wife
of woman to her chastity-of parents to their
children-of the laborer to his just wages-of
all to cultivate the intellect and keep Gods
commands; that laws should be adapted to
their condition, protecting them in their per-
sonal rights, and also restraining vagrancy
and crime.


Whether they should have political as well
as personal rights-the right to vote and hold
office,-is another question with which abo-
litionists as such do not concern themselves
They suppose that such change of the legal
status Of the negro from a chattel to person,
with corresponding practical change, while
it might involve some present Inconvenience,
would not only be right and just, but ultimate
ly be Of great benefit TO all concerned; that ne
groes would still be the laborers, and the rela-
tion Of employers and employed,or master and
servant, each legally protected in their mutual
rights, wonld supercede the relation of owner
and chattel This is the sum Of the abolition
doctrine on collateral questions they may and
do differ more or less. Unless slavery is right,
as is now taught by the South, can see moth
ing unreasonable or fanatical in it. If it is i'm
practicable, as in one sense it is, it is only be-
cause shareholders are unwilling to yield up
the irresponsible power they have held so long
and abused so much.

She is native of Scotland, but for many
years lived with her family at London, CIV.
where they now reside. About five years
ago she left home and went to Kentucky,
where, on the breaking out Of the war, she
became enamored with the military display
and enlisted in Kentucky regiment. She
served in the army three months, and she
was present and took part in the battle of
Somerset, and saw Gen. Zollicoffer fall. Dur
ing her term of service she was often ordered
to do extra service, and used frequently to
steal out of camp at nights and fight on her
own hook At last she became tired of the
drudgcry she was called upon to perform,
and made known her sex. She was imme.
diately discharged and arrived in our city on

The SPRING TIME.--At length we wake.

is smile of soil and leaf in the air. The
poplar buds are fragrant as balm. The air is
warm and moist. The birds are surely hcrc
they answer each other; the sparrow, tho
blue bird, the robin, and afar off on the edges
of the swamp, the harsh twanging notes Of
the blackbird. 1t is spring! It is the time
Of the singing Of the birds! Nobody forgets
the wild thrill Of the heart at the first sound
of birds in the spring.


Oh, with what a sense Of emancipation do
we hear the birds sing again God sends
his choirs to sing over night and death for US.
Winter, that buried all, is herself put away.
Death Is swallowed up in victory, and nature
chants the requiem Of the past and the Joy of
the future. Now, days shal! grow longer and
warmer. Now, industry shall move freely.
Now, flowers shall come up Seed shall be
sowE. Doors and windows shall stand open
all day long. Around the barn the hens
shall cackle and crow. Children shout
Spring has come; and all things rejoice at
their release. No more inhospitablc snow
no more blight and cold All is prom ise.--
Men go forth with seeds, and roots, and
scions. The orchard, and garden, and field
are full of life!


The winter is past, the rain is over and
gone; the flowers appear on the earth the
time of the singing Of birds is come, and the
voice of the turtle is heard in our hnd.---
