They have an easy, light air; but are full of point and wisdom: "I thank my fello.v-citizens for the honor they do me by calling to congrat ulate me on the fall of Richmond. Cheers. v I am now about writing my foreign dispatches. What shall I tell the Emperor of China? I shall thank him in your name, for never liaving per init'.cd a piratical Hag to enter the har bors of the Empire. Applause. What thall I say to the Sultan of Turkey ? I shall thauk him for always having surrendered rebel insurgents who had taken refuge in his kingdom. Cries of "That's it!" and cheering. What shall I say to the Emperor of the French? A voice-'To get out of Mexico. 1 shall" say to the Em peror of the French, that he can go to morrow to Richmond and get his to bacco, so Jong held under blockade there, provided the rebels have not used it up. Laughter and cheers. To Lord John Russell I will say that British merchants will find the cotton exported from our porta under treaty with the United States cheaper, than cotton obtained by running the blockade. As for Eirl Russell himself, I need not tell him that this is a war for free dom and national independence and the rights of human nature, and not a war for empire; and if Great JJritain should only be just to the United States, Canada will remain undisturbed by us so lone ns she prerers the uuAomji f the Qui?en to voluntary incorporation into the United States. Cheers and excJutiiations "Thai's the talk; you're right-" Whit shall I tell the King of Prus sia ? I wiil tell the King of Prussia that the Germans have been faithful to the standard of the Union, and his ex cellent Aliniitfr, Baron Gerolt, has been constant in his friendship to the United States during his long residence in this country. Cheers , To the Emperor of Austria I shall say that he has proved himself a very wise man, for he told us in the begin ning that he had no sympathy with re bellion anywhere. Cheers. I tlo not doubt, fellow-citizens, bul that at least you accede to the theory by which I bvc governed myself du iug the war, namely, that the rebel lion will end in ninety days. Laugh ter and cheers. I have lhought.tb.is the true theory; because I never knew a physician able to restore his patient to health unless he thought he could work a cure under the most unfavora ble circumstances in ninety days. Re newed laughter. Finally, to the American people, I will say that our motto in peace shall be what our text has been while in war. Every nation is entitled to regu late its own domestic affairs in its own way, and all are - bound to conduct themselves so as to promote peace on earth and good will to mankind. i:i U R AXO milTE." One of the Committee of Citizens of Charleston, charged with the distribu tion of the rice, asked that. 'an .order should be issued requiring the colored people to meet at specified places on one day, and the whites on -lhe jday succeeding. 'Col. Woodford replied: "Sir :---Yhcn a man approaches mo wiih the shield of loyalty before him, he seems so bright that I cannot see that he is black ; and when he comes with the shield of disloyalty he looks so black that I cannot see that he is white!" That he d d not intend to use the terms "black or white" in any official order.

Of these it is calculated that fourteen thousand have died on the battle-fieldl ' .. . . ' a.M:itOLS view op the . .. ; . . WEST- - A trip of four thousand miles through the heart of the west, awakes a kind ling thought of the greatness' f th re piflilio. The west is the empire ; a fact not acknowledged at the east,-'tecase the east knows not the west. ,$ut, n impartial traveler soon perceives, tbJt the ca-ii is net the country. New Yor- and New England are but the -thumb and forefinger, the west is the rest of the hand. i; jJ A western visit in summer is best for seeing the country; in winter, besi for seeing the people. And 4ire thfj not the heartiest, friendliest, most hosj pilaUe of the . human race i What $ "Scotch welcome"-; may be, we know not ; out. if belter than a western mau'a welcome, it is better than a plain man deserves. Jostle a western man in the street, and at once you are an acquaint ance ; meet him the next day and you are friends. A shake of the hand in the west has more grip in it than be tween New York and Bangor. Child of lhe east, the west is the chief crown of the paient. The universal New England elemeat westward is the best part of New England ; for only . the courageous, the energetic, and the con quering have had the will to quit their eastern homes for the western prairies. Thus the early pilgrims to New Eng land have their truest sons in the latter pilgrims from New England. A Yan kee, therefore, does no: come to his fullest stature in Yankeeland ; the grown Yankee is the .westerner. At the east he is a geraneum in a pot, thrifty and prim ; at the west, a gera nium in a garden, where he grows rank, exuberant and generous. New countries greaten men's souls. Does the west seek a heraldic sign? Tei. ii, ti.cn, choose a shock of corn. O, bounteous land of small Louses and big barns ! So fertile is the great val ley that, as Jerro'd said of Australia, "Only tickle the eanh wiih u hoe and she laughs a harvest !" Though beat en down from their full height by snows, corn stalks are yet standing, in January, so high that one riding among them en a tall horse, and rising in (he stirraps, cannot touch the tops! The prairies common-place, Bad and sub lime are the garden of the world. May they ever make farmers rich and cattle fat. Theo. Til ton. Four Years of War. The rebellion, to use a slightly un dignified phrase, has about "petered out," the predictions and hopes of the Copperheads to the contrary notwith standing. The "Democratic" party, through its National Convention on the 30th of August, in the city - of Chicago assembled, declared "as the sense of the American people," i. e., the Cop perhead part thereof, that "after four years of failure to restore the Union by the expedient of war, during which public liberty and private rights aliVd trodden down, and lire material pros perty of the country essentially impair ed, justice, humanity, liberty and the public welfare demand that immediate efforts be made for a cessation of hos tilities," with a view to an ultimate con vention of Slates, &c." ; The "four years of failure" to "res tore the Union by the expedient of warfare" does not end until the 14th of April 1SC5. The despised and con teiEced 'expedient of warfare' will have nearly, if not wholly, restored the Union and crushed the rebellion with in four years, as matters now look. If the ' Democratic" party were again to meet in National Convention, we sus pect that they would materially modify the second section of their infamous and cowardly " Chicago ; Platform." There is no medicine so efficacious in preserving Republican institutions" as gun powder teat and metalic pills.

The first wonder will be to see so many people there whom I did not expect to see ; the second won der will be to miss many people whom I did expect to see; and the third, the greatest wonder of all, will be to find myself there."

It has been already announced that Victor Emanuel suddenly quitted Tu rin and Uok up his abode in Florence. The French Courrier, published in New York, gives us some interesting particulars totichins this event. The King, who a few years ago was uni versally honored, has recently lost fa vor in the eye3 of the people. The main cause is, that he is , suspected of having lent himself as the tool of the ambitious schemes of Napoleon. So s rong has the feeling against him be come in his own Capital,'- that he was ...i,..i. . ...... hissed on his appearance, at the opera, and greeted with contemptuous epithets as h rode through the cy; A - more systematic indignity was.Xit is said, to be offered him on the occasion of a ball to be given bv a French Ambassador, a few Lights after the departure of his J majesty?: He determined to submit to it no loner, quietly .'made ' arrange ments, anl before the citizens were aware of vbat was going on, had left the city anS'was well" on his way to Floreuc"eV As the future" capital is to be lopated at the latter place, the King only anticipated his departure by a fev months ; but it would certajnly have been more agreeable, if not more dig nified.'to leave the cradle of his fore fathers under mere friendly auspices. He may have succeeded in vindicating his Rojal Dignity, "and turning the ta bles on tne people 't Turin ; but the fact augurs badly for tie future of Italy. It shows that the sovereign is no longer the idol of the masses, and that the feuds and jealousies tlat have so long disturbed that unhappy country have broken out afresh.Z- There is too much reason to fear that the foqpe of a" uni ted Italy was buried in tL Court Cavour. grave with a Mcrrioii.vrsL.E iay i.v utaii.

The inhabitants of Richmond, we are told, received our troops joyfully. They have been so long half carved and shaken with alarms, and the thun der of hostile guns in their city, that they welcomed a change. There will be no occasion to send Ben. Butler to Richmond to regulr.ee the city. The people will manifest a spirit of "intense loyalty." There is very little now, in the southern cities that fall into cur possession, of that rampant blackguard ism that appeared in New Orlrans whea the fortunes of war gave it into our possession, and of which Ben.

The rich, of all men, one would think, should have the freest entrance into the kingdom of Heaven. It costs them little to be gen erous, and rothing to be just. Free from the want that spurs the desperate, resolve, as from the struggle that wears away the heart, it seems the easios; thing in life to be that "noblest work of God" an honest man. ESTTrof.

McCulloch," being asked the cnan causes of our depreciated currency i'ar swered as follows ; , There have been various influences operating upon what is called the gold market. The necessity which the J rovernment has been under of issuing a large wmountof paper money has un doubtedly had an effect In that direc tion; and the uncertainty that has ex isted in the minds of many persons in regard to the ability of the . Govern ment to suppress the rebellion, has, un questionably, had an influence in that direction; and then everybody under stands there is a .great influence ' all over the country in favor of a depreci ated currency, The, use that has been made, by persons who are not in actu al sympathy wjtk the goverument, of our reverses in the field has had a very decided effect upon-the "gold market. The effort that has been made to dis trust the abilityl cf the Government to maintaiu the payment of its obligations is also a cause.' In fact, various caus es have conspired. i : Ex-Gor. Aiken.

The controversy in England about our civil war appears to be growing warmer every day. and strong feeling is manifested on both sides. The anti slavery policy of the United States Government has added larcelv to the , emhusiasra and slrepgih of our Eng- ish friends. At a recent great meet- Ug in Manchester, the Hon. Lyulph Smley, who has recently visited this cdi ntry,:made a long and powerful speech in defense of the Union cause, ine course of which he paid a high tribu e of admiration to the character of Ntrthern officers who had taken by preference the posts of command in the blacklrigades, and among them he mentioned Col.

' i inn 1 ' glgvintlturat. Change of Seed. T. E. Willouh by of Ogle county, III., writes the Genesee Farmer that he obtained some seed corn last year from Joseph Wright of Waterloo, N. Y., and "had a large crop." Mr. Wright sends to the Wt;st for his seed corn, (Ohio Dent,) aud we suppose the object in a Western farmer getting his seed from him is that after it has been grown in this mere northern latitude it will be earlier. Corn ripens earlier as we go North, and when taken South has a tendency for a year or two to ripen at the same time and is consequently earlier. With wheat' the case Is re versed. Wheat ripens earlier as we go Sou.b, and for this reason it is de sirable to get seed wheat from a more Southern latitude. Farmers Paint. Farmers will find the following profitable for houae or fence paint : Skim milk, two quarts; fresh s aken lime, eight ounces ; lin seed oil-. 6i"x ounces ; Spanish white, three pounds. The lime is to be slaked in water, exposed to the air, and then mixed with about one founh of the milk; the oil, iu which the pitch is dissolved, to be added, a little at a time, then the rest of the milk, and afterwards the Spanish white. This is sufficient foe twenty-seven yards, two coats. This is for white paint. If desirable, any other color may be produced; thuj, if a cream color is desired, in place of part of the Spanish white, use the ochre alone. Calves with Sheep. It is well known perhaps, to most cf our agricul tural readers that late calves, when they come to the barn in the fall, wi'l, if confined iu yards with older animals, frequently sicken and become debili tated. Being weaker and small, they are usually shoved about, and depri ved of their due share r rood, and 111 consequence, "fall away" rapidly. Now I never allow animals like this to associate or be confined with larger ones, but put ihem with my sheep, where there is no danger of their do ing or receiving any harm. Sick calves, I have observed, often pick up and devour with avidity the hay and straw from among the sheep dun. It ,, t medicinal, and I know of no article hat has a more immediate and salu Irry effect in restoring diseased calves la health than sheep dung. I have practiced this usage for many years, anti have never lost an animal, though I ha'e had many sick when they came to th barn. dliKiPEST Mode of Feeding Horse.:. J. Fisk, of Baldwins ville, ft Y., wruss us t'iat he has a horse, five yea'ro jk'., tsed as a family carriage horse, am' is frequently let to his neigh bors. Ilfc labor is considerable. In the morning he feeds a bushel basket of cut catisi"aw, moistens it with water, throws in t$ir quarts of shorts, mixes thoroughly atd feed. At noon, gives straw again, and two or four quarts of shorts clear. IAt night, mixes hay and straw equaK arts of each cuts a baskelfull and 'mixes shorts aain as in the morning. 'IIs horse is free from, cough, lively, hea;ihy and fat; and this practice he is con&lent saves him 50 per cer t, of the c'y.of keeping a horse the usual way coftt about three min utes' time per day. f I This is an impor tant item in these da of high feed.
