Good Advice. . . The Eat on ton Countryman gives a little wholesome and well-timed advice to its read ers in the annexed style. SAVE YOUR-MEAT. We urge upon the people of the Confedera cy to begin early in thc year to economize their provisions, bacon particularly. Of meat, few people have more than half allowance, and they ought not to have auy more, and don't need any more. Thc balance should go to the army. We doubt, in fact, whether peo ple who stay at home are entitled to even half allowance of meat, when they can get so msny vegetables as are tobe had by proper management. But what we say is, save your liieat. Don't go to work and eat it all up by June, aud then have no meat at all. Make a nice calculation, divide it oat properly, and run it through the year, so as to have a little all the time. "When you eat up what you have now, it will be impossible to get any more for love, or money. RAISE UOG3. Now Ls tho time to feed and attend well to thc pigs which tame last fail. At twelve or four teen months ok:, you will have to, kill them, and make your meat,, next winter. By p-oper care, you can make them wci^h from 100 to 200 pounds, at tro ega mentioned. Dou't let them j?et poor, stunted and mangy now, for if you do, it will be almost impossi ble to get them started agnin. There is no telling how much meat can.be raised by proper management, even v. hen corn is scarce. Thc slops and waite from the kitchen will make many a pound of mehi, livery house keeper, whether he or she has much or little of this world's goods, can go fur towards rais ing his or her own meat. If you have no pigs, obtain oae or more, as soon as you can. and go to feeding them. You eau accomplish wonders with them in twelve months. WORK TI?E CARDEN. Begin early to werk your garder, and work, it weil. No one has a-rjj?bt to talk ubouta scarcity of food vvhoowiis or tenis a quarter of an acre pf ?tra?do ?round. A quarter of an core, well cultivated,, will support a family through the spring, summer and full. mue probability is, that we ato going lo have a good crop year thia year.. Hut rou ought not to depend on that. Preparo your garden, by stiring tue soil deeply, i'.ir uny I < drought that may como; and don't, depend I upon the plough, nor thc hoc, but use thc spade. Trench your garden deep!j-. Drive the spade in, np to tho handle, and prepare thc sub soil well for receiving and retaining the moisture. If your gardon has not been well tn inured during the fall and winier, that important duty should be attended to inmediately. Give your soil a bountiful supply of manure, and be sure to let it be of the right kind leaf mould well rotted, or stable manure, thoroughly decayed. No manurC should be | put upon thc ground for late spring or sum mer crops, which has tc undergo the procos? of fermentation', or decomposition, after it :.3 put upon the seil. If so, "it will lire, and de stroy the vegetable*. " Early peas, cabbage, radishes, lettuce, ?rc, should bo sown the first cpleassnt day .that comes. We have had excellent weather for attending to these thing?. ? But we wish to urge upon our people tho necessity cf having good gardens during thee times ol'seareitj-, and beg them to remember that in order lo kavegoodigardens, they must Efir tho soi', deeply-mnst resort to Ihr* ppade -and must mnlch their vegetables to protect i them sgainst the heat and drouth. ? -- - -- From thfc'Cohtm'iia Guardian.

Their wagons were all left behind. Buggies and carriages which they had stolen were left with fires built in them, but farther on they were so hotly pursued that they didn't have time to take this precaution^ bat left the ???vehicles unharmed with the trace*,cut. The. | number of killed, wounded and prisojaera was very rjreat--our. losa small. Goueral Forrest foushfthe battle with about 2,000 men-thc reinforcements expected by hi;? did* not ar rive in time. The enemy had three times his number. Gen. Forrest led most of the charges himself. This victory of G*eu. Forrest prevented tie junction of the large column of' cavalry and mounted infantry under Grierson and Smith wi;h Sherman at Enterpriso, and thus com pelled the retreat of the whole invading forces, and thc savage desolation of a still greater por tion of the country. Among tho foceos of Griersoo: which lately received such a signal defeat in North MissL sippi, were a large number of Duteh and oth er foreign mercenaries whoso outrages np*n the unarmed citizens and defenceless women of the region through which they passed, is said to be without a parallel in thc history of tho war. Everything of value that they could lay their hands-on was either stolen or destroyed ; jewelry was ruthlessly torn fron j tho persons of ladie? amid the jeers and t-.unts of the savage vagabonds, and family relics, of | no value to any one but the owners, were de strojed'with a fiendish delight. As an evidenco of their brutality, wo "are informed that a Ur. Jarmau, a highly roppec table sud gallant gentleman residing in 'th?'j neighborhood-of Aberdeen was captured and shot ty them. After ho was dead, the fields severed his head from bis body, quartered him and left his remains banging .by. the roadside ! Their excuse for the helHah act was that Mr. Jarman and a few others, had fired on them in their passage through the country, and was, tkcrdbre, a bush-whacker. The ra-cal< received their reward when they met Forrest. The citizens of Columbus, Mississippi, have presented Gen. Forrest with a fine horse,' as a slight tcken of their feelings ; towards him for his recent victory.
