It is nni uncommon for one man to own from nine to ten and even forty thousand head, which, cost them nothing but the clothing/and feeding of two or three Indians to herd them ; the range bt ing so rich, that they keep perfectly fat during all seasons^ Situated, as this country is, on the coast of the Pacific—possessed wilh many of the best harbors in the known world—a soil inferior to none—a climate far supe rror lo any,—such a/ountry, in- the hands of an industrious arfd enterprising people, would, at no distant day, compare wilh ihe most flourishingcoutrtfies of the globe !

Frightful as this picture la, the-details, as*'given by Captain Bingham, are even more appalling. Let unmake for, exam- ple his account of tbe frightful and sav- age slaughter at Niogpo. " About 12,000 (Chinese) advanced upon the southern and western gates, the guards retiring before them! O n the Chinese penetrating to the market place in-the centre of the city, they were receiv- by a heayy fire ftcm our troops drawn upl This sudden check so damped their ar- 'or, that the only object appeared to le to gel out of the city as fast as they could, in doing which they were crowded in dense masses in the narrow streets. The artil- ery now came up, unlirabered within one hundred yards of the crowded fugitives, and poured in a destructive-fire of grape and cannister. So awful was! the destruction ofh uman life, that the bodies were obliged to be removed to the sides of ihe streets to allow the guns te adpancevand the pursuit was followed up^ by them (the artillery) and the 49lh regiment for several miles." We almost doubted the evidences of oursense when we.first met with the preg- naDt illustration of the character of this miserable war, and cannot trust ourselves to comment on the conduct of those with whom the responsibility of so frightful and fruitless a massacre may happen to rest. On the arrival of the general, he put a stop to the slaughter, or twenty thousand in- stead of eight or nine might have been .massflcredL The British troops is said to have amounted to two or three killed and some dozen wound- ed ! But if a few guns employed ashore could have produced such terrific results, what -must have been the effect of the bombardment of densely populated (owns by the powerful naval armament by which our troops were supported? Let Capt. Bingham answer for us. The scene fie now-etescribes is Amoy i " The Gerwral had this day a good op. portunify of displaying bis skill in milita. ry tactics. Perceiving that the enemy had 5,000 men in an extensive encamp- ment on the southern bank of the river, while the city was on the northern, he de- termined^to attack the former first (tho all fours, and bobbing their heads as'they -saw the flash of the^guns^but escapiti" Scylla the fell into Chnr.ybdjs, for they no sooner got clear of the""ships-tba.n they became exposed to the rocket boats. The discharge followed the poor wretches into the vildage, Truly it was an awful day for the black haired rage ofjiarn_." - In anoiherpart ofjiie book, weljave an account of a sirfffal mancevre, which plac. ed a large bod/of Chinese between two fires£a>y which BOO were slain, wilh a loss To the British force of only one killed. The Chinese (says Capt. Bingham) could 'do nothing against the terrific broadsides of the ships, the shells, and the rockets. In numerous instances the Chinee, hav. ing no notion that quarter should be el- tended to them,lrushed upon the bayonets of their invaders, or destioyed thernselvea before theirieyos. But wo shall not har- row up the feelings of our christian readers by any further extract from this "narra- tivo," which is, we regret to say, uuufinii- » ^ Feeding Cattle.. - "/ It is important to a farrnerjo know not only how to re.noer the soil, the most pro- ' - ductiy 9 of grass pit grain, but alsat»4niow ( how they can be fed t o animals so as to* keep the"nvin~gQod condition at thfe'least possible expense.orhow the greatest pos- " sible quantity of meat can be - laid on- them in the 1 shortest period of time, and- most economically. - T h e process of .nutrition" is now so well understood lhat it is admitted by all, that in order to obtain the greatest advantage from food ofany.kind,iLshould be so pre par. ed that the organs of digestion may obtajri ' complete coptrollover it, so that all tbe. flutriciotis- pa-rts-ef-- i¥*tnay "be -absorbed- and carried into the circulating systenl^ and deposited in the form of flesh oi: fat.

Nankin is next to be visited, where the slaughter will, in all probability, treble lhat of our preced ing war. Such is the nature of the war. The campaign" is, therefore, evidently, one of extermination wtseresoever rests, tance is offened ; and the Chinese Iiaving ascertained this factj^will be rendered valiant by despair, and may inflict serious losses on our small army in that neighbor hood.

Novel Reading, T h e fbrlowiog-benmiful extraGt isfrom the last Boston Quarterly Review. Ii'ie apart of jli£preface of Mr. Brownson'6 review of Zunoni: ,. It is never good to excite the'mind or the heart overmuch, save when ii c a n find immediate vent in actions which concern real hte. A confirmed novel reader is always morbid; on some sides perlemalu- rally sensitive, on others perternaturully callous.; capable, it may be, of talking much fine sentiment, but wanting in (hut spiritual strength, in that moral robust. ness, which is equal to the performance of a useless but difficult part in real life, The less fine sentiment we have on our lips, the more genuine feeling shall we have in our heart; and the more noble and generous action shall we perform* lie who stops" to sentimentalize about pover/ ty, will be the last to ibrowntd cloak ov*> (he tattered (gabardine of tbe beggar/— This is no doubt all very antiqnaied/snd altogether old fashioned.

O , mv young lriends,.there is rot such an ovef- plus"ofgenerou3 sentiment, of warmaml is supposed tp arise from continual apprehension of danger, so that theV nei- ther feed well or'sleep soundly, and tho lattor is as necessary to the taking-on fat kindly as the foijrrier.' The same laws .gavjexii-U^JuinisjLJtmi^^^ ation, in "taking, on flesh, for we never seeT fat-persons who are trot gO"od. and soundv„., sleepers. wV good farmer and grazier, 'whose land is passed' through by-a'rail- roiif., stated theft his stock did not feed or fatten well when in the fields adjacent to- it, in consrrfUeifce of tbe excitement w\d alarm produced by the passage of the lo- comotives and the trains in their frequent transits over it. T+brio some may appear ridiculous, but those who have carefully investigated the*causes which retard tho fattening pro- cess will be inclined to admit, that it may exercisea veryjtirportant influence, par. lipnlnrly lv itb v, n r y wilrjnrvery timid an- imals. A circumstance having a very important bearing on this subject, was related to me by a worthy and excellout. - farmer of Montgomery ootinty^— He stat- ed, that ho had a shed in bis barn-yard adjoining rrpablte road, under which be had for two years past undertaken to tit»11 feedsome-caUler-but-wJtliout sucoeas^al-.. _ though the plan of feeding was according to the most approved rules. It was final- ly supposed that something pernicious was .given to them from, malicious views which retarded theinindrease in flesk) in oorirsequence of thi^ one of them was put into a stable and kepT^otoseiy—confined and fed as usual, whenjie did well and and soon became excellent beef. On further examination and reflection respect- ing the cause of the fnilu're under the shed, it was noticed that the poultry roosted there, and that the vermin from them had been communicaTedr tOThe cat- tle, which kept the-naina continual, state of uneasiness and irritation, and this was no doubt the reason of the failure to fatten them in that location. An adjoining neighbor fedaaox early all the past win- ter, contiguous lo the hen roost with pre- cisely the.snme result, having lost all the winter's feed before he discovered the cause of his want of success. T h e same person experienced a similar result in lhe~ca^-~oTtT bog last' autumn^and the cause was not discovered till he was kill- ed, jhough ho was very thin, whenjl was ascertained tIMt he was lousy.

You wi l l alwayslind them remarkable for a gene­rous confidence in themselves—in o ther words, for-a hearty self-reliance.

Frightful a s this p ic ture la, the-details, as*'given by Captain Bingham, a re even more appalling. Let unmake for, exam­ple his account of tbe frightful and sav-age slaughter at Niogpo.

" About 12,000 (Chinese) advanced upon the southern and western gates, the guards retiring before them! O n the Chinese penetrating to the market place in-the centre of the city, they were receiv-by a heayy fire ftcm our troops drawn upl This sudden check so damped the i r ar-'or, that the only object appeared to le to gel out of the city as fast a s they could, in doing which they were crowded in dense masses in the narrow streets. The artil-ery now came up, unlirabered within one

hundred yards of the crowded fugitives, and poured in a destructive-fire of grape and cannister. So awful was! the destruction ofh uman l i fe , that the bodies were obliged to be removed to the sides of ihe streets to allow the guns te adpancevand the p u r s u i t was followed up^ by them (the ar t i l lery) and the 49lh regiment for several m i l e s . "

We almost doubted the evidences of oursense when we.first met with the preg-naDt illustration of the character o f this miserable war, and cannot trust ourselves to comment on the conduct of those with whom the responsibility of so frightful and fruitless a massacre may happen to rest. On the arrival of the general , he put a stop to the slaughter, or twenty thousand in­stead of eight or nine might have been .massflcredL The British troops is said to have amounted to two or three killed and some dozen wound­ed ! But if a few guns employed ashore could have produced such terrific results , what -must have been the effect of the bombardment of densely populated (owns by the powerful naval armament by which our troops were supported? Let Capt. Bingham answer for us . The scene fie now-etescribes is Amoy i

" The Gerwral had this day a good op. portunify of displaying bis skill in mil i ta . ry tactics. Perceiving that the enemy had 5,000 men in an extensive encamp­ment on the southern bank of the river, while the city was on the northern, he de-termined^to attack the former first (tho

all fours, and bobbing their heads as'they -saw the flash of the^guns^but escapiti" Scylla the fell into Chnr.ybdjs, for they no sooner got clear of the""ships-tba.n they became exposed to the rocket boats. The discharge followed the poor wretches into the vildage, Tru ly it was an awful day for the black haired rage ofjiarn_." -

Novel Reading, T h e fbrlowiog-benmiful extraGt isfrom

the last Boston Quarterly Review. Ii'ie apar t of jli£preface of Mr. Brownson'6 review of Zunoni:

,. I t is never good to excite the 'mind or the heart overmuch, save when ii c a n find immediate vent in actions which concern real hte. A confirmed novel reader is always morbid; on some sides perlemalu-rally sensitive, on others perternaturully callous.; capable, it may be, of talking much fine sentiment, but wanting in (hut spiritual strength, in that moral robust. ness, which is equal to the performance of a useless but difficult part in real life, The less fine sentiment we have on our lips, the more genuine feeling shall we have in our heart; and the more noble and generous action shall we perform* lie who stops" to sentimentalize about pover/ ty, will be the last to ibrowntd cloak ov*> (he tattered (gabardine of tbe beggar/— This is no doubt all very antiqnaied/snd altogether old fashioned. But we ""hope our young friends, seated on rich •otto­mans, or reclining on Soft couches, with tbe last new novel still moist from the press, will forgive^ thisrour antideluvinn-ism. ft is w(lh no> vinegnr visage, not priestic Cant, that we tell them in throw that hovel asidej to* ToUsfi rtrfrrns"ehrB< from their indolence, and gnforih and de­vote the sensibilities of (heir hearts , ihe richness of their fancies/and the creativc-ness of their imaginations, to the greni and ooble work of relieving uc u 1 dis­tress, and of upbuilding the cause of truth and righteousness on earth. O , mv young lriends,.there is rot such an ovef-plus"ofgenerou3 sentiment, of warmaml

is supposed tp arise from continual apprehension of danger, so that theV nei­ther feed well o r ' s l eep soundly, and tho lattor is as necessary to the taking-on fat kindly as the foijrrier.' The same laws .gavjexii-U^JuinisjLJtmi^^^ ation, in "taking, on flesh, for we never seeT fat-persons who are trot gO"od. and soundv„., sleepers. wV good farmer and grazier, 'whose land is passed' through by-a'rail-roiif., stated theft his stock did not feed or fatten well when in the fields adjacent to-it, in consrrfUeifce of tbe excitement w\d alarm produced by the passage of the lo­comotives and the trains in their frequent transits over it.

T+br io some may appear ridiculous, but those who have carefully investigated the*causes which retard tho fattening pro­cess will be inclined to admit, that it may exercisea veryjtirportant influence, par. lipnlnrly lvitb v,nry wilrjnrvery timid an-imals. A circumstance having a very important bearing on this subject, was related to me by a worthy and excellout. -farmer of Montgomery ootinty^— He stat­ed, that ho had a shed in bis barn-yard adjoining rrpablte road, under which be had for two years past undertaken to tit»11 feedsome-caUler-but-wJtliout sucoeas^al-.. _ though the plan of feeding was according to the most approved rules. It was final­ly supposed that something pernicious was .given to them from, malicious views which retarded theinindrease in flesk) in oorirsequence of th i^ one of them was put into a stable and kepT^otoseiy—confined and fed as usual, whenjie did well and and soon became excellent beef. On further examination and reflection respect­ing the cause of the fnilu're under the shed, it was noticed that the poultry roosted there, and that the vermin from them had been communicaTedr tOThe cat­tle, which kept the-naina continual, state of uneasiness and irritation, a n d this was no doubt the reason of the failure to fatten them in that location. An adjoining neighbor fedaaox early all the past win-ter, contiguous lo the hen roost with pre­cisely the.snme result, having lost all the winter's feed before he discovered the cause of his want of success. T h e same person experienced a similar result in lhe~ca^-~oTtT bog last' autumn^and the cause was not discovered till he was kill­ed, jhough ho was very thin, whenj l was ascertained tIMt he was lousy. In the case of lice, on domestic animals, tobacco juice it is believed .would destroy ihem ) but every precaution should be used to prevent animals from being brought into a situation where t h e y would be likely to become infested with them. K all your animals clean ; it ig"- only ,..t>n "brought under the- dominion of man and,, their habits are changed, and it become"* impossible for them in compliance with their natural instincts to preserve them­selves free from filth, lhat they suffer much by it. Don't permjt poultry to fre-quent -or: most-in your stflbles, or, near your cattle or hogs, or yuu will soou sui=-lajh a o-rcaler lo.vs by it than they are all worth. A suitable henroost should ler pro'vidpd by every farmer, remote fiom 44iothe:r animals, and a pfdper pfrace al­lotted for (hem to rub.and"tlust themselves, .toiree them from veianiniit.all seasonsof the year—of course it should be under cover.
