A Yankee Stable for Fast Horses.
Some lover of fast horses in Connecticut
has been putting: up a mac
w 1 o
nificent "residence" for his stock, of
which a Hartford paper gives the lol-:
lowing accotlnt:
* "Is that, a church or a barn ?"
would be a natural inquiry by a
stranger, driving out on the Wefct
Hartford road, and noticing the large, |
. new Gothic building, with a tower,
on the ridge this side of Vanderbilt's ,
jdace, about two and a half miles;
1 west of the State House. It is Henry
C. Beckwith's new barn, built for
him the past winter by Wm. G. Al

trimmings, slate roof, and ornamental
windows." The main building is
in the form of a Greek cross. An.
open'shed connects with the tower,
five stories high," surrounded by a
flag staff. .The first floor of the- tower,
with its marble mantle and haudsome
finish, is designated for the office?to
be fitted up in elegant style;

stalls are finished in solid oak, polished
and oiled; the partitions, ceilings
and other wood work, are of
oiled pine. The live most valuable
horses have each a box stall, with
alpout as many conveniences as a gentleman
finds in his room at a good

THURSDAY CORNING, SEPT. S.
Relieved from DutY.?Geu. John H. Winder,
I formely the head of the military department of this
district, out for the past few' months assigned to the
? s
| command of the Yankee priBODers at Anderaonyille
Georgia, liqB been relieved from hia command^ together
with the chief surgedn attached to thau place.
Admiral, Buchanan tells a story of hiB Lieutenant,
who, looking into the open port of the Chickasawi
sang out: ''Fire, you d?n Yankee, ?re!" When
the Yahkee replied: "Aye, aye, sir," and pulling
the lanyard, seut an eleven inch shell wbiaaing irio
the open port of the Tennessee, killing the over valiant
Lieutenant and several others:
Amongst the deserters (aaya the Richmond Examiner)
from Gkant's army who have come into our lideb'
on tl>e invitation conveyed in General Ordor 65,. are
certain Germans, probably oftbdke lately imported as
per order of Massachusetts, and credited on her
"quota." It is said that they come in- now from day
to day, carrying a*oopy of "Order 66" in their pockets,
and requesting to he sent back to Germany. It is
true, that tbe order from our War Department does
not engage tor bo much; nevertheless it deserves tho
consideration of the Government whether this request
of theirs'should not be complied with, as matter of
policy. Room could surely be made for thirty or forty
of those men in each vessel running out of Wilmington,
with arrangements to further them from Bermuda
to England, from whenco they might easily make
their own wuy to Bremen or Hamburg. Tho good
effects of such a proceeding would be manifold. A few
hundreds of Germans, after being deluded by tho
falso promises of tho North to crosB'the Atlantic, sont
back to their homes t|y the generosity of the South,
which they had come to ravage with fire and sword?
spreading themselves over the Fatherland, and tellitig
what they had seen, and why they wished -so soon to
return, and who sent them homo?would seem to us
raoro seryicablo missionaries of the Confederate cause
in Europe than all the commissioners and financial'
nrrmitl nnfl ~~?* ~
_0 v.?u^oiiia, rrora Mr. !Slidkll down
to Mr. SpencE/ The unusual nature of the proceeding
would strike, would tell, would make a deep impression,
and would induce many men to think who
now only cant. Tho impression, too, would not bo
confined to Europe; this measure would not meroly
stop up the supply of new recruits from Germany, but
would at once become known in the lines of Gbant'b
army, and produce its impression IW* Tf
ODce known that the late German and Irish recruits,
on coming over to ua, are kindly troated and employed
here at good wages, ODly till their turn comes to
sail for home, it would do more to demoralize and
break up that array than any other scheme vet devised.

NORTHERN NEWS.
Mobile; Sept. 7.?A special despatch to, the
the ifayta/er, from Senatobia, dated tlio 6th,
says that Cincinnati and Chicago p?\pers of the
'31st, and Memphis papers of the 1st had been
received. They are filled with the proceedings
of the Chicago Convention, ^vhich is said to .be
altogether harmonious. The nominations has
given great satisfaction. A. compromise is considered
certain between the peace and war elements
of the Democratic party, Pendleton
and the platform being peaceful, Greely thinks
MeCIcllau is or will be elected, as he- will be
the tool of the party in favor of slavery. The
Chicago Tiulcs says that the platform looks to
the cessation of hostilities, and an amicable
adjustment of the present difficulties on'the
basis of the final restoration of the Union.?
The feeling of a large portion of the Convention
was decidedly for peace, and resistance to
all further usurpation by the administration.
Early is retrograding up the Shenandoah Valley,
and followed by the Federals! Grant's
army is increasing, by recruit", at the rate of
1000 daily. The special correspondence of
the Cincinnati Enquirer gives a gloomy ac.
count of the health of Sherman's army. Great
alarm is felt at Nashville in consequence of the
advance of a Confederate tVn 1

many prisoners, including Gen. Milligan.?
Wheeler is reported within a few miles of tha*place.
The Chattanooga Ouzefte of the 28th
says Wheeler "crossed the llolstein at the
mouth of the French Broad, and was supposed
to be moving towards Kentucky. IIo had inflicted
but little damage to the railroad.
Guorrilias still continue to carry a high hand
in Kentucky. A party crossed into Illinois, and
tore?up a part of the Central Railroad. *A gentleman
of veracity who crossed the Missiasinni
on Saturday night last says.: Krrby Smith and
Price have invested Little Iiock. Marmadukc
has occupied JBrowsville, having whipped the
Federals there, and captured the rolling stock
of the railroad.
The Confederate Loan had advanced 3 per
cent, on the reception of the news in England
of Grant's repulse before Petersburg. The Florida
destroyed a large vessel off Bahai, taking
$70,000 from her. The Tallahassa has capt

Substitute for. Quinine;?An article in the
Medical and Surgical Journal is devoted to'The
External Application of Oil ofTqrpcntime as a
Substitue for Quinine in Intermitting Fevor."
Surgeon Kennedy reports the successful trial of*'
this application, without failure, in over thirty
cases. Of seven cases rdf)ort.cd at the General-*
Jlospital, Guy ton, Ga., the result was immediately
sucecsstnl in all, but in three of them the
chills returned aftctarkrds. The mode of appli^
catiorr recommended is : "Half an hour before ,?
the expected paroxyism, a bandage wet with V
the turpentine, is applied around the body at . '
lower part of the chest, the linen replaced and
the outside clothing buttoned. If convenient,
the patient should bo placed in blankets."? /,
When thero is a probability * of the return- of- 5j
the paroxysm on the seventh or fourteenth day,
the application should be repeated.
