Well as wool is up and a great many inquiries sre made as to how to mako tbe most wool and mutton, I will say tbat my plan would be to put from three to five good Cotswold bucks with hundred evressod let them run with the evfes all the time. Let them have good blue grass, timo- i thy, clover, or any other kind ofgrass ; let thim i hare plenty of good water and wtil ea'ted. In ! addition 1 would say, about the last of Nov. or first of Deo., early every morning I would give j them half an ear corn each, the oars broke In two i and scattered about on tbo grass ao that they ail j can get to it, as tbey-wilt pick every grain np ex cept muddy or reiny mornings. 1 would oontinue : the feeding until epring. You will find tbat it I will pay, both in wool and mutton. At tbe be i ginning of winter I would bare shelter of some ! kind near my bouse, so tbat tbe weak lambs could i be cared for. If there should bo any weak ewes | with twin lambs, have a lot of early rye or wheat and turn them Into it, and give tham corn and eheltar aa the others bare. The lota should be of blue grass or timothy so tbat they would ba dry and comfortable for them to sleep on during the night except it should be raining or snowing, then put theca onder shalta r. During very cold dry windy weather, give plenty hay and oats in the •traw. i( you have no bay, oats, Ac., good wheat straw, or rye, or oat straw will do very well, as they will eat it in cold dry weather, but ia wat rainy weather they will not tonch it. Be sure tbat in cold dry days they have water every day. The sheep should be turned out of the lots they ! stay in of nights, into an adjtininr blue grass . pasture, and brought up every night. By hav-! ing a few belli on them they wiii toon learn to ! come up themselves to their lota. My plan for sbeltors would be to have a plaok fence or post and rail, on the north sido of tho ! Jots they stay in of n'gbts. Then I would set up eommon rails ten or twelve feet long, one end on | the ground and the other extending to the lop of j the fence; then take cornstalk fodder, commence | at the bottom and gonp like the roof of a house ; I make it three or four feet thick, and it will keep; as well as shocks in the field, and will do to feed out fn rprirg to cattle. I would say tbia plan fully carried out, would j bring two litters of lambs every year, and would , be as good as one litter eath year, and I think you j would have more twin lambs every time and be i as apt to raise them and your sheep better from the care in keeping. Try it. Now for my experience for a few years back.— Since f htve been kevping two or three bucks, I fonnd some .f my ewes had two litters a year, and thay Increase more every year, and last year the most of my flock had their two litters, and they appear to do aa well and grow as well a when tbey bad but one litter a year. If I am oorrect, this will be a fast way of getting along with sheep. I would say that to commence, I would as soon have one half good healthy moun tain ewes, as I find they have the eai liest lambs. I think the Cotswold would be more likely 10 bring tbia result than any other, aa 1 think ihcy are a hardy race of sheep, producing more wool and mutton than any other that I know of, and I think more prcT.flc. I notica ray thrifty ewes very often take the Duck from 8 to 10 days after dropping their lambs, and the lambs are coming at mil seasonsof the year. KENTUCKY FARMER [Frcm the Country Cent'cman.] BEST MUBE OF SEEDING AND WIN TERING CAITUS. I bave been much interested lately, In reading the erticlea in your columns on the subject ot wintering and feeding cattle. My own practice differing somewhat from yonr correspondents, I give it to you for what it is worth, and no more. Yonr excellent Oeneva correspondent, John Johnston, gives a decided preference to yard feeding, with ample ahedding, over stable or stall feeding, foi the reason obit fly of economy n labor And this, fortified by bia long experience and suo oesa, entitles bia opinion to great weight. 1 do not propose to eentrovert this opioion, bat ruber to commend bil system of eiople shedding end warm bedding to mil who aspire to be good far mers. own experience, although not prorided with at extensire and comfortable eheds and bedding aa Mr. J. reoommends, it tbe rererse of bit. For sereral years I triad to fatten oattle in tbe yard, tbe cattle going under sheds, (contidertbly lets, however, tban thirty-six feet wide,) and roaming tbe yard at pleasura, with free aocest to water ; bat the retail was not satisfactory. I do not arsr tbat every other prerequisite, such at regu- JarltT In feeding, dose attention to appetite, and Careful watching to prevent tbe stronger and moat Toraetooa from driving tba weaker and more timid from tbeir feed, war fully attended to.— Perbape not; bat I attributed my want ofaocceaa to baring adopted a tptfeat which waa liable to, and tended to theae very errors and neglecte.— Had these cattle been tied up in tbe alalia in tbe atable, tbeir confinement of itaelf would bare im puted watobfulneaa and attention aa a neetnit]/ upon tbe herdsman, wbercaa their freedom in tbe yard, with perhaps access to some lood, rendered clove and punctual attention less absolutely ne cessary, and habits of irregularity, postponement and neglect are in meny initaccsa too apt to be the consequence. This is tbo theory of my fail ure-in yard feeding. It may not be, and I bope is not trae and applicable to all farmers and feed ers. It certainly is not to Mr. Johnston. 11l 1' a man of industry, system and pnnctnali y.— These important qualities are unfortunati ly found in but few who aspire to follow him in the impor tent profession which be so conspicuously elerates by both precept and example. I therefore advo cate a system wbicb Irom its nature rendtra abso lute and imperative tbe cultivation of babite of industry and punctuality aa tbe price of success, or inhumanity and disgraca at tbe penalty oi ne gleet. . For tbe last six years, having previously ftiled in yard-feeding, 1 built another stable for toy cows, and appropriated tny cow stable, under a large . verj-eiing b ro, to my feeding bullocks.— My practice is, towards tbe clom of tbe grazing season, to leed a lit.le meal oneea day in tbe did to tbe fattening oettle. From tbe Ist to the 15 b or 20th Nov., according lo tbe season, my fat or graied cattle are brought to tbe stable end titd up in the stall at night, and fed at llral suit corn or nubbins and bay, alternated occasionally wub fodder. When apples are abundant, L prefer to •tart them upon de ayed or rotten applet mixed with tbeir chop, composed of wheat chaff and meal (corn and cob ciu.hed.) This opens the bowels, end puts tbe cattle in what iba neidrmcu otll a good suftenir g condition—tbe skin becomes loose and glossy, when tbe feeder litis e ootiraged and assured be baa gained an important point.— A wall grazed bullock brought to ibis condition, may b fed with pri lit; a lean steer cannot in my judgment be fattened in winter on grain with out loss. My cattle tbus conditioned, are k' pt in a stall cDtantly,gxcept for an hour or two a ter th tr mtddayfeed, when they are let out for exercise and water. It will thus be SWD that my eattla get water but once a day. This lam aware is contrary to the generally received opinion- ol the ntctssity and importance ot fri qui nt watering, but an ex perience of six yenre has convinced me that in winter season, cattle will thrive and fatten with water but once a day, when their feed is all dry> vx: mval, bay and fodder. In this way 1 bare brought cattle that would not tell lor more than thirty live or forty dollars from grass, up to sixty bve autf seventy dollars by lb February maiket. Toe syetetn of stable etding over yaid feeding bas this advantage. First it imjiotit the asesoiry of atlentioa. Vour cattle must be watched— like the Dutch baker, wbo being asked the secret of bis success in baking good bread, laconically replied, ' I watch hint." Secondly, it conduces to repose and quietude, tbe very condition most fsvorsbleto the secreiion of tat. Thirdly, acb animel can oousume without molestation and fear his own lood ; and fourthly, it gives the herds man a b tter opportunity to watch the tppe ite and condition of each bollock, and thus to in oreate or diminish bis toed accordingly—or a change ot food when necessary. tibould you deem ibe above worthy a place in your valuable weekly, it is at your service.

Tbe IUD bad nearly sunk behind tbe hills, leav Ing tbe valley in sombre thadow, as f to w rn t\ e iravelle. that night came early tbesedark Lfaoem her days ; but Alice Lee sat weeping beside a stile at tbe road side, regardless ot the gathering gloom, only now and then looking helplessly at a bundle of sticks that lay beside her. liow long she in tended to sit there nu one knows, but soon a rutt ling noise was beaid in the wood she had jut l pissed through, and a girl about her own age clambered over the stile with a heavy burden ot slicks on her back. 14 Why, Alice 1" she cried, "how can you cii there in tbe cold ? You'll be frozen to death 1" "And who woulJ care V" said Alice. "1 would," replied her friend, laughingly ; "and you would'nt much like it yourself eitnet ; so come, cbeer up, and let us sue wbo will be Unt borne." But Alice was too 9ullon to bo persuaded, and at last Ellen Wilson went on ber way more quick ly than before, to make up tor lost time. Alice sat watching her retreating Ugure until a turn in tbe road hid her from view ; then slowly raising her own bundle, she began to walk in tbe same direction, but very sloaly, and still weeping bit terly. Tbe road stretched along the valley, and both tbe girls were mak.ng towards two oottageo wh.oh stood apart Iroin tbe vilage, and a good way up tbe bill j but the difference was great between tbe two children wbo were thus fallowing the soi path to homes that seemed o mucu alike, limb Were very poor, aud neither had what could be called a happy borne; but tbe one loved Oud, and the other knew him not; or in other woras, the one was happy, and tbe other was miserable.— Alue had never fait tbe contract between beiaelf aud Eden jo strong y as tuis u gut, and sQe was inwaidiy wishing ehe kutw what Ellen's secret was* wben some one, wbo had bceu watkiug much more rapidly than heraell, urew near, and the was joined by a kind looking eldeily gentkmau. lie ucked her why the was crying; and wlun she told him because ahu was coid, and weary, and was aliaid that ber mother would auola her wbeu she leached heme, be looked very sorry ior hei, but said he did uot think cry iug wouia do any good. "1 am at raid, little girl," he adued, "thai you don't know how to he happy." "1 am not always crying, air," said Alice. "I daresay out," be replied, with a kind smile ; "but it ia uue thing to be sometime* merry, and quite another thing tube always happy." "Always happy I"—the avoids sounded very strange to the wearied child. "X would like to be always happy, sir," she said. "N ne are bappy on earth," be answered, "cx oeptii'g those wbo lore Uod, and the L ud Jesus, who died to sare us. Ibis makes thcui contented with their lot in the world, w baterer It may be, because it ia Qud'a choice for them. Do you see those two cottages high up on the bill side?" "teasir," said Alice; "we ire tu one, and Edeu Wil.-on and ber falber lire in the other." "Well," be said, "at 1 came aloug tha ralley tbia craning your collages were quite blight in the beams of the setting ,un ; but as it weut down, they giew darker and darker, till 1 could scaiceiy find them out on ibe bill aide, liut now, don't you see bow bright one of tbein ia again? Can you tail roe the reason of this?" "There la a light within, air," said Alice. — '•Ellen baa got home, and she baa kindled tbe Bra t" "Yea," be said, "that is It; tbere ia a light within 1 And so it Is with ourselves, whether old or jouog. It Is easy to lock bright when the sun la shining outside ; but when dai kness and trou ble come, then we envy those who have a *fgLt within. And mark tbia, my child, the only Ugbt for these dark, sinful bearti of ouia is the love ot Jesus, and the sweet spirit of contentment which this love always brings with it." Here bo stopped, for ha road now lay in ao op posite direction ; but be gave Alice a little hymn book, and told her to keep it in remembrance of au old friend who prayed that Uod would him ell teach her the only way to be happy both bere atd hereafter. ▲lieu w eat on, pondering over tbe strange words •be bad heaid.. She paused at the Wilsons' cot tage, and watched her irieud Ellen busily engaged in making ail tidy before her father's return.— "On," sue thought, "1 am sure that E.len has the light that the gentleman spoke of, because she loves Gjd, and that will be why she is happy, while lam miserable." Hut she had no time lor lurcher thought, for she heard the angry voice ot her mother screaming, "Come along, you laie, little vagabond, or I'll see it 1 can: make you walk smarter I" I'oor Aiice-hastened on with her burden, but did not escape an angry blow as she eu e.ed ihe cottage. The slicks would not burn, they only euiuuldertd among ihe embers, tor ibey had b.tn gaibeied lioui the nearest aud dampest corner 01 the wood; and after a iiesh torrent of abuse, ILe poor child wa sent supperiess to bed. due fay sbivoiiug on her straw ;a.et, thinking that "he could never sleep, and feeling that all was vary dark bo b without and wiihm. r but children do not often lie awake even when cold and hangry ; so Alice Jell asleep, aud she ureamid a dream. # due igncitd it was day, and time for her to take Nancy, the cow, to the hul side ; but when she 1 cached the door, there was scarcely any light coming from ibe sun, lor a dark shadow seemed over it, and there was a mysterious chill in the air, just as she remembered feeling when there had been a wondwla-l eclipse. "Mother I mother 1" the ctied, running into tbe cottage agaiu, "why w it so dark 7" "D*ikl" repealed her notbei, "and tbe sun shining so bright. You'ie not awake yet, or you're blind, or idle, aud that's inure like to be tue way ot it. Uel tp your woik, child, or I'll give you a heating that'll make you sdb right." Alice uid not wait a eeconu bidding ; but as she went out again, she met eeveral people, and wbtA sbeepoke to lbm ut ibe darkueis, sue saw that lUry only wondered, and thought that she was blind ; but t ere was au uuu*ul stir iu the VV il sons' cottage,-so ati. turned in tuere. Ellen stood with htr little bonuetand hood on, and a sinuit bunolo and lauteru in her baud. "Ou ! Ellen," she said, "where are you going?" Kiltii looked as if surprised at the question. "1 canuot stay bre," she said ; 4 this place is too daik ; i au. going to the beautiful country you have beid about, that cecda neither the san nor the moon to lighten it." Alice asked, "Are you going alone ?"' "On, no 1" said Ehen, ••that would never do.— I have a irieud with me, though you canuot see him and he has promised to take uieaaicly there." Alice a.kud ii it would be a Jo. g journey. "1 am not suie," Etien replied ; "hut it is a pleat auL road, and you see what abi igut light 1 have." boe held Up the lauteru, aud Alice read in gol deu letters ail round it, "lb/ wuid is a lamp unto my leet, and a light unto my path." ''Father is gomg to follow me," continued Ellen, "and you must come too; but 1 have to time to wait lor you." Cio she tiimmtU her little lamp afresh, and left her home* Alice watched her as she hastened on through a 1 tigged defile among the billsy eomelimts ILe roadluuked very loagb, sometimes.-mootner again butahessw that the light, which had burned d.rnly among tbe toga of the valley, grew blight er and brighter as Elen ascended tne hill, till it threw quite a glory over the pathway and ioun> her little figure ; and Alice could see that the wav was covered with golden inscriptions. Une was, "Her ways are wsys of plefcSautneas, and all her paths are pence another was, "This is tne way, w-lk ye in it." Baltbe one that pleated Alics'best was this, "The path of the just is ao . be sbiuirg ligt t (bat chinelb more and more unto the peifect day." She gazed and g>ized upon the glittering words until she forgot to lock any more at Ellen. At last tbe seemed to bear cou.usid noises, and dreamed something about a thunder st>rm, till avvakeool by a vio.ent shaking hum her mother, and a storm of angry, reproach for having slept so long. The pour child rose in a momsnt, and bAitencd t) bcr morning work j but though her dieatn was g.ioe, its pleasant memory remained. She eager ly toU it all to E ito, and said she thought it meant something like the "Tilgriui's l'rogrea," but asked if it would not mean tbat Ellen was to die soon. Ellen smiled, apd said, "i'erbsps it means that 1 b*ve begun a pilgrim age to heaven, t.ke Christian-" -1 * " v "And w ho is your friend ?" asked Alice. "That must mean Je us," saiti Ellen ; "and you know he has promised never to leave any that come to him." 4 But I can't love Jesus \" ezclaimed Alice.— "I can't love him w hen 1 have not seen bun, aud wnen be makes me so poor aud wretched." "I used to think all that," eaid Ellen. "Moth er used to tell inc a great deal out of the Bible, bat 1 did not care lor it till she was dead.

As day light began to break, the sudden and arrival, with ghastly countenances, ot persons woo l ad with d fli-uliy escaped ihe maaancie, and fi.wn 10 tbe town for protection, brought at dreauiui colli inaiiou ut thw fatal tidings. The rebellion first broke out on a plantation caded Nue, iu the parish of Acul, nine miles only frtm the cilj. Twelve or torn letn ot the rug leaders, tbuul tbe middle of the night, proceeded to the nfi jeiy or sug<-r house, and seized on a ui*D, the retiuer's appreutioe, dragged him to the front ot the dwelling house, aud.theie bewtd bim into pieces with tbeir cutlasser; bis screamss brought out tbe overseer, whom inty insiautiy shot. Tbe rebels now lound tbeir way to the apartment of the refiner, tLd massacred him in bis bed. A young man ly ing sick in his ch nnber was ieit apparently dead of the wounds it dieted ny their cutltises. lie had strength enough, however, to crawl to tbe next plantation and re late tbe hoi roia be bad witnessed. lie reported that ail the whiles of the esiate wh.ch be had let were murdered, except only the surgeon, whom tbe rebels had compelled to accompany th*Q), on the idea that they might stand in need of bis professional avlisUnce. Aiaimed by this intelligence, the persona to wboiu it was commu nicated immediately Bought tbeir safety in fl.ght. The revellers (consisting now of all the slaves belonging to that pl-ntrMon) proceeded to tbe honsc of Mr. Clement, by whose negroes they were immediately joined, and both he and bis re finer were ma>acred. Tue murderer of Mr. •Ciemeut was his own postillion, (coaohiuan,) * man to whom he bad alwa;, s shown great kind nets. The other white people on this estate con trived to make their escape. At this juncture the negroes on the estate of M. | Faville, a fear miles distant, liktwise rose aud | murdnied fire white person.*, one ot wbt ni (the attornej tor the estate) had a wito aud three daughters.

For themselves, tbey Were devoted to a more horrid fate, and wero carried away captives 0j the assassins. The approach ot daylight served or.lj to dis cover the sights ot horror. It was now apparent t at that the negroes of all the estates in tie plain acted in concert, and a general ina*sacre of of the whites took place in every quarter.

To Such 01 tLp distant parishes as were open to communication, cither by land or by sea, uo t.pe of the revolt had been transmit.ed within a few hours after advice of It was received at tbe Cape, and tbe white inhabitants of many of thote puti*bs had therefore found time to establish ceil); a, and form a chain of posts, which, tor a short time, set-mid to prevent the reb lliou from spreading beyond tbe northern province. Two of ibtfse camps were, however, attacked by tbe negroes—who were here opeply jointd by the mulaitoes—and forced wih great slaughter. At London tbe whites maintained the conLst for Seven burs, but were overpowered by the infin ite disparity of numbers, and compelled to give wav, with the loss of upwards of one hundred of their body. Tbe eurrivors took refuge io the Spanish territory.
