JLbg subscriber congratulates the breeders of fine horses, on tlac opportunity now offered thorn of im proving their stock, by a valuable cross. That the American and English race horse !ms gr**aily deti r ioratnd in the last eighty years, i«* a fact that must be conceded all intelligent nnd candid sportsmen; and that, that deterioration has iieen produced by tlie practice of breeding »»» nnd in, us it is called, (that 13, from the same suffk.) it is presumed will also bo admitted. Af er the most diligent inquiry and care ful investigation, 1 believe the most successful rais ers in Virginia arc pursuaded that an occasional re sort to the original stock of oriental horses is as ne cessary to preserve an improved breed, as it was in the first instance to obtain it; and so far from the direct cross not producing the finest animal.' both lor strength, speed and beauty, it is capable o! proof, and the history of the English race horse will demon strate it, that the best racers nnd breeders England ever had, were the sons and daughters, and at far thest. the grand sons nnd grand daughters of the Arabian: and that they have depriciated in propor tion as they were removed from these points. The first evidence I would offer, in support of the asser tion is, the established weights on the English course at different dates, from the time of the introduction of the Darley Arabian, until the death of the Go dolpinn Arabian; which included a .period of about ■tiTly years. They were breeding extensively from oriental horses, including Barbs and Turks. During that entire period, their horses continued to improve in speed end bottom, while the weights were greatly moreasedi aged horses then carried 168 pounds, nnd urn. >oat ran four miles, from seven minutes twenty 8ecr**nH», to seven minutes fifty seconds; from that time say from 1770 to 17*75 to the days of Eclipse, they discontinued tho breeding from the Arabian, and their weights linvc been gradually decreasing; on some tracks to 119 pounds; and on none, I believe, nro they highor than 133 pounds; yet there is not nowin England or America a rarer that can run the distance in the same time in which i> was formerly done with thoir heavy weights. The next evidence fs, the horses themselves. Darley Arabian got Fly ing Childers, who is said to have run four miles in six minutes and forty seconds Flying Childers got many fine racers; but none that equalled himself, (iodolphin Aratiian got the dam of Eclipse, blit Eclipse never got his own equal, though begot many line racers—viz; Rcgulus, Volunteer, &.c. ltegulus oot many champions of the turf, hut neither luui nor his progeuy produced another Ilegnles. Vcrtumnus got Baronet, but liaronct never got a horse as suc cessful on the turf as himscif or sire. Volunteet got Snreud Kagle, Sterling, See.; but Sterling and Spread Eagtenevcr got their own equal, much less the equal of Volunteer. Janus and Fearnought were got ny C.u dolpliin Arabian. During the days of those horses, Vir rinia was famed fop fine saddle horses, as well as distintruisneu racers; now, u in ...-i tlie blood horse of Virginia rarely produce* a fine saddle horse: nor have we, I believe, a single turf horse capable of running four mnes with 168 pounds (the former weights) in good time. Our best races are made by yiltinjf hor"*8 Carr) ing light weights; and it in a fact, and drtc which is u * ! worthy the consideration nf raisers, tlint with the sent light weights many of our first horses break down in training, und very few remain longer Ilian two years on the turf. Tlieir hone, sinew, and musrle are not in proportion to their size and weight—and their legs of ten give way in training exercise. It is believed there is not now in the United States a single high-blooded horse that has not descended from the same stock, viz: the Godolphin Arabian, and generally speaking, hntliby dam and sire Cm a strong, active, healthy and vigor ous horse he reasonably expected by propagating Irnm such near connexions? Every farmer knows the effect crossing in and in has on rattle, sheep, &c; hut we seem not to have anticipated the consequence to the most noble and useful of animal?, by tli violation of the law of nature, which forbids incestuous connexions; hut it carries with it its own corrective, in the slow but Certain destruction of the species. Such being the con sequence of our system, it would seem strange that we continue to pursue it Many attempts have been made to alter it—many fine horse* have been imported from England, but they have furnished no remedy for tile evil—the English and American race horse being ilf the same stock. The difficulty and enormous ex pense of obtaining the true-blooded Arabian, has pre vented the importation of many of them into this country. It is affirmed by writers and travellers, that those of the sacred blood, 'as they are railed, are va|. urd from 500 to (5000 pounds sterling they are con. Sidcred a consecrated breed, designed for the use of the Prophet and ha descendants; and a great preju dice exists to selling them at all. Taplin, in Ins Sport, ing Dictionary published in IK03, vol. 1, page 17, re murks—‘"hat they arc mostly consigned as presents to hi* Majesty or some of the Wnyal Family, and their pedigree of their blood is recorded with as much care and tenacity, as the genealogy of the most ancient English Nobility.” Hut, it cannot be necessary to en logize this matchless breed of horses, to recommend them to the American sportsman; he must know, that it was by crossing on this stock that the sluggish and cold-blooded horse of England, was converted into the beautiful and high mettled conrs« r H is only nr cessary to satisfy linn that the tVIN t I'll AIIAlil \N is one of true stock — so many attempts have been made to impose on public rrcdnluv by palming on them spurious horses lor the Arabian, that the «•» idence in the true Mock should he Satisfactory an I com lu-ivc.

I purchased a jug I of N. Shepherd's Patent Specific Ointment of Sir. Elisha Jackson, applied two plasters at one time, one 1 on h?r thigh and one on her leg. eneli extending near j ly around them. I'pon applying the first plaisters, in a few momd|iis she stated i» appeared to feel like theio wore small needles passing from the bone to the skin, in half an hour she commenced a most agreeable perppiration. became oolite easy of the pain and h id an agreeable night's rest winch she had not | enjoyed for several days before The next evening I removed the first plaistrr. which 1 found had much abated the swelling I then applied two other plais- [ \ ter>. which entirely relieved her at that time. How I ever, in a few days she began to complain of the : small of her back and her right leg. T immediately . Replied the ointment to them and u had all the dost- | red cfTcCt. find she is now in good health. Had I I not met with your Ointment, it might have coFt me' many a doctor's visit, and much costly medicine to no purpose —Yours with much respect. ap 13 “ROBERT T.
