' u : ' . - '"A: ; ' . tie were found most hgnly developea, io the ; '.Thoroug h JBrei," - or ;Englih Ratp-Horse."- He- hadjbeeh bred for centuries, yiih a view.o improve" his speed anu enaurancejjana in accom plishing dais object, poiHs were oa ur ally attained that ; are , recogntzea as style. The- most severe " laoor a horse" could be furnrsqed with -' was a long race'at'the height of speed ; and when a horse was found: able to per , . ; . - - t. . . 9. form this feat and repetit it, two very essential qualifications were developed aud that a ; horse lacking these, was a failure, just in proportion as he lack ed them; if beautiful,, a useless orna ment kept at great expense. In breeding, the first object to be at tained was to produce a horse of fiae constitution, for no horse could - last without' rr; and' endurance was the tadAxiott of a good iiorse '-a ftorse' that could travel over seventy five miies io one day and return the next, was a valuable animal, even if hecoulJ not be driven a mile in four minutes. ' But if speed be added to this quality, he be comes doubly valuable. .No breed ut horses po-sesses euch bououi" as the Thorough Bred. lie aUo excels in fCTTTT's.ri ni-ncl-? JT iitkn th drnrt horse whose bone if stwed so as to present a section, shows a mass of .-ponge-like cells the bone of the thorough-bred, if sawed, shows a fiue grin ed, compact body, susceptible of. the polish of ivory; and although occupying much less .-pace, is usually heaviei than the bone of the largest draft horse, and much stronger, and hence is not so liable to disease. This quality ts nec essary in the Race Horse, for his mo tion is quick and he throws his weight ou his legs with great force. On the other hand, the dray hore, whose mo tiou is 'loiv aud C4utiou, does not tax his legs so severely while pulling at his best The same principal is true of the cord and muscle ot the respec tive horses. Added to these qualities o the Thorough Bred, his clean, tony head; long, spright ear, clear, brigtit eye; i-aucy neck; symmetrical form, and fine, soft hair, and lofty carnage, and you have the highest perfection found in horses. You have a horse able to make a race; and if able to make a race, pound tor pound he is able to draw a heavier load than any one witii less game; and for all purposes, when weight is not the principal object, is vastly superior to any other breed. While he is spirit ed, he is bold, fearless and intelligent, and experience has found him to be bv far the safest and most reliable.. If we look to experience, we find one thing correct every stage prcpri etor or agent he had ever talked with on the subject, prefered them, and al ways secured them when possible. There were Hooded horses on some of :he stage lines in Ky. that had not lost a trip fot twelve and thirteen years, while none except a blooded horse could show such a record Of all the horses that have distin guished themselves as first das- roadster-, there is not one that could not show a strain of warm blood if his ped igree could be traced. In looking over the illustrious list whose pedigree can be tracerl to warm blood, we find Flora Temple standing foremost; her per formance 2:19 3 4 having never been beaten She Las descsaded. on fthe sire's side, from Ke ntucky Hunter. through "One'-Eyed Huuter" horses or unqiicsironcu. , uiu.ua . ueoige j.u. Patcher is another who. combines warm blood; from both kire'eaiid dam. On the sire's side he is traied1to Pahaw, while we find a cross pi "fruster on the da.ui' sir'e,. , He vyes th? most illustri ous ironing stallion of his day, and prrhaps has never berj ; equalled as a sialNon,' unless by thev. famous horse "George W'ilks.. who.ia-j- also strongly impregnated with warm blood, and is also a descendent of Messenger. Truster, '.celebrated 'for making his twenty mile trot in les than one hour, was a son of Imported Truster; and Top Gallant whose name is covered with laurels from many a well contest ed field, was son of Iniported Messen ger. ': JLndy Palmer, qae of Mr. Bon ner's celebrated hor'tes.-and whose reputation is too well known to require any comment, is by Imported Glencoe and Thdroagh Bred ;,and it is rumored that a son of this reioarkable racer is giving evidence of Votling qualities that are surprising. ' - John Morgan is another of this class; 'iiis sire. Pilot, jr.. I wns by : Pilot, a Canadian French horse, but bis dam wfs a Thorough Bred, while thedamaf Morgan was a Thorough-Bred by iMedoc. In every instanceof the horses spo ken of their qualities can be traced to Thorough i blood, aad . in fact every horse that has become distinguished. rrives evidence, either from his pedi gree or blood like warm blood ; ctrcu v i.i appearance, that ates through his veins. As saddle horses, the experi ence of the war shows them to be so fur supepior to cold blooded horses that efforts are being mat e to have this in terest encouraged by Congress, by ap propriating liberal 'prizes for the best race horse, the same as is done by "But,' it is some imes urged, "we must raise horses ; ior the farmer!'' .' - . tt. s This simply means' .hat we must raise indifferent horses for the plow. Now ... It! this is s.rauge philosophy; ju.-t as if it cost auy more to raise a good horse than a poor one, arjd men as if a good horse could not dra- a plow as well as a poor one ; asjf a1 horse capable of endarmg'the severest hardship of the race would give out under the slow and lazy dunes of the plow. Mr. Shrider differed with Mr Walker. He thought we needed two classes of horses, and that for th farm, a horse should weigh from 1500 to 1S00 pound.-; spoke favorably of the Morgan, and thought the Bl.tck Hawk family superior; thought that in selec ting brood - rnares, size should be a feature, while stallions should be small. In selecting Bl od he prefered Black- Hawk, bui thought well of Messengers and Eclipse. In selecting horses he picked for round body full breast broad joint, short between the knee and pasture joint; flat leg and not too close ly ribed up. Had as soon raise a colt as a calf, and showed that it was much more profitable. He waated a long hip, and high head; said the last point denoted courage. Mr. Parcel thought the subject of breding horses was not sufficiently understood, and ihat- efforts should be made to diffuse information on the sub ject. He thought horses more profita ble to raise limn cattle, and under existing circumstances could be bred with greater skill. He had turned his atteni on to horses and had bought mares. Mr. Storking thought it impractica ble to attempt to produce draft, car riage and saddle horses from the same stock; spoke highly of Blood. Some of ihe finest horses he had ever seen were descendants from Duroc, Messen ger and Eclipse For a saddle-horse he prefered a long shoulder extending back we.l, and high withers; but for drafi purposes he prefered a straight, upright shoulder; liked a long hip. full high breast, withers well raised, neck well set up, bony head and prom inent eye; urged on farmers the im portance of the subject. Mr. Mutz said whn he was a boy iluy talked about Thorough-Bred, and thought that more should be said of them in this country. In hi? optsion the Blood horses of Ohio were two small; liked a clean limb, beafy legs, wju Id not last. H liked a horse for the fariu, from 15 v? 16 hsnds high. with weight fuim 12. to 1500 pounds, a long belly and short back; likes a long shoulder extending well back; thought that upright shoulders more I kply to become sore. Mr. Stocking thought that perhaps it was true, but that with a shonlder extending back the horse was more likely to tlioed down. Mr. Mayfield said he had very little scientific knowledge about horses, but found that when he had a horse with a good round body, deep chest, up headed, and fine size he always found plenty of customers, Mr. iiustin wanted to commence with the foot, and have it good from that up, and he was suited. But pre fered "blood" had seen enough to convince him of two animals otherwise equal he would always select with re gard to purity of blood. Mr. Todd agreed with Mr. Walker as to the seventy of labor performed in a race; thought that horses that would make a respectful race could fill most any bill, where horses were required. Thought too heavy horse not durable, and that the expense of keepiug them was much; said that a horse with round body, a shotjback, long belly, high headed and long hipped, would made either a saddle, carriage or farm horse; spoke favora bly of the Magnum Bonum, Messen ger Eclipse. Duroc and other families.

A Noble Act or Honesty- An instance of integrity, unprecedented in this army, aud one .that I am afraid will meet with liule appreciative recog nition among the heron's comrades, was brought to my notice while with the 14th. at Smiihfield. E lwird A. Potter, a yound soldier belonging to company E 105th Ohio, kicked up some loose earth at the corner of a fence, and found buried there some sixteen thousand dollars in gold There are probably many other men in the army aisgraced as it is by incidents of an opposite character who would not (I have heard of more than one m-ijor general who, I believe, would) have appropriated it. Young Potter. in his noble honesty, left it with the lady to whom it belonged, simply say ing: 'Here, madam, I guess this belongs to you. x ou d better take it in, or some of Us Yanks might be for taking it." North Carolina Correspondece N. Y. World. 5SA good story is told of a Yan kee hackman who was engaged to convey two Englishmen about the eu virons of Boston, including, of course. Bunker Hill. After going up and inspecting the monument, the English men returned to the hack where the driver was quietly wailing for them I say, driver," says one of the En- gli.huien, "this is the place where we Englishmen gave you Yankees a dern'd thrashing about eighty years since," ' Well," says the driver, "don't know as I ever heard tell about that; but rho owns h hcis cor I" X Word lo Fartuprie . The last report of the Commissioner of Agriculture is particularly interes ting at this moment, when, the cap ture of Lee and his arm), the rapture of Richmond, the capture of Mobile and the forward march of Sherman seem to have prepared the . waGfror the early peace which will support the Government and the Union ' forever. Then we shall turn to such pursuit a a the Commissioner alludes to with . en tire attention. The point which is of as much moment as almost any is concer ning farm stock, now drained by a long war. The decrease of horses, cattle and swine has been very great. Sheep have increased, numbering 4,300.578, and the wool clip for 1SG5 is estimated at 114.559,076 pounds. As wool has not reached so great a comparative height as other texi'le, . its fall is like to be more gentle, and the cost of beef will render mutton more valuable and more common. Therefore sheep-husbandry holds out great inducements to all our farmers. A very few years will secure a good flock from a small beginning. The probability is, thertfore. that it will be largely entered upon at once. The Commissioners th nlc that breadstuff's will fall oa the close of the war, when the army demand is remo ved. But he is of opinion that there will fully sustain, if it does not enhnoce current prices. Our exports of butter and cheese increase annually. Cut the number of cows has fallen off This must be slopped or the exp .rt fails. Cows should be kept from slaughter. Even with the realization of the promise of great crops of grain, the decrease of hogs will keep their price up. i ne inaucemew tor men increase is consequently great, and should be regarded. These are among the conclusions of the Commissioner, and they are so important to our permauent welfare, as well is to instant personal prosperity, that they demand the notice of ail farmers and stock raisers. It may bu added to the Commissioner's notes that the South has to be repopulated in its pasturts and barns from without; and that the demands of peace from there will swell the competition here. . The facts agree, therefore, in urging upon agriculturists everywhere the pri ue importance and advantage of bestow ing the greatest attention in their pow er upon their flocks and herds. The profits must be very vast for years to come until the census of stock in all departments is restored to what it iva before the war, and enlarged. St. Joe.
