TIHE TRI-WBKIY NEWS, LFromn the Petersburg Index.] 'lURiNg Sclne of the War-The Evacua. tion of Petersburg, There is not,muoh need to dwell upon the evenes of which these bright, quiet <lays are annivorsaries. No one has forgotten yet; still, some notice may be expected. At daybreak on the morning of the 1st of April. 1865, the cannonading, whiihlalong thd lines on the ininediate front of thu city hid been continuouS -1u1 severe, extendvd along the whole line with redoubled fierceness, until, by ,n6.0i4e, from tho Appomattox to Five V'orks, there was scarely Afty yards of ground along the entrenchments but had its black-mouthed pieces belching forth angry,4moke, and lending the reverbe. ration of its fearful thunders to the mad. dening tuniult. Iarly in the morning, the rattle of musketry began on the right, and soon unceasing roar told that the battle, was in earnest, an4 that the spring campaign hhd begun. Gen. Grant'd forces-two corps of infantry and the cavalry under Sheridan-advancod in sulid lines upon the entrenchments held by Pickett and Vushrod Johnson's divisions. under the command of Lieut. Gen. R. I. Auder. soi, and after several gallant and iier. fectual feint attacks, a 'movement in column was made by Sheridan to force a passage between the left flank of the Confed(trate infantry and Fitz Lee's f4eble cavalry for continuing tant line. 'By some error, a gap had been left, which Sheridan struck, and his troopers poured. 1hrough. Pressing badk towards the rear of Lee's cavalry, they swung to the left upon Pickett's lines, and eko long a wild cheer rung from the troopers i the rear to the inflntry in front, and long lines of empty trenches, roads strewed with abandoned guns, and fields dotted witl hurrying,. beaten mon, showed that the work was done-that Lee's right had been crushd. But this had not been done at once. Night, followed speedily upon its accomplishm nent, and the rumors of disaster which reach. ed Petersburg from the battle-field, though glooirly enough, were 'hot expli cit of the total overthrow of our forces, and slumber in the city was assured of safety that night as ever. No one knew what real ruin bad come. Night brought with it no quiet, but insteid the itreaming fuses and burst ing shells o( a new bombardment. Morning came, as bright and smiling as any day of any spring-time. With light came sounds of conflict., which grew louder and more frightfid. Did they not draw n'earer? It sounded so. And soon strange rumors filled the stroets. Thq vbmrch bells rung out their ,firsi qall tq prayer, but no one hesded the auuimons. The clear, sWeet tones fell opbn the agony of, hearts that listened, it the , bird-notes sounded to those who 61oirli the dead. Mun gath. irUd in gr9ups arounkd the corners, and lWke4 with,trawing eyes, toward the clonds of battle-smoke that hiig tLrotind t'he tdwn.--tood sliefitly, and listening to the dull reports of heavy ordinance, .ard the"I' rp 4ioi mnketrvr upon which,sh9ir;fate; hun$iptredibling, Meb gvw White Iln the 1goiy of ans.

"'Ti. so," was the speech of every white cheek and stream. ing eye. F,1w words told how like a wirlwood of wrath came to the. thous ond hearts the death of the hopes of years. The groups dispersed and sought their homes. Agonizir.g sus. 11ei,e had become certainty, and they could weep now. Any attempt to tell of that day, with its hours of dull, deai hopelessness. its moments of wild hope, its feelings of ut ter wretchedness. is the end of all things to be desired. God sparo such another experience. Now and then would fly from house to house som" good report. . "We are pressing them back-General Lee las re-established his lines," and for awhile the feverih wish would he parent. to be lief. About 11 o'clock the Confode rates did recapture the lines at Rives', and a ray of real light'caie in upon the anxious soul. But tie real danger was not there. On Ih right the work went resistlessly on. Peort Gregg fell, des pite the most heroc. defence. Thie Union line advanced from Coghill's to Turnliell's, from Turnbull's to Wood worth's, and there, in a stone's throw of the corporation limits, marshalled their enthusiastic masses. At last Longstreetcnme. A strength. ened line was formed, and at 4 o'clock the dispatch from General Lee to his commanders across the Appomattex and JAmes wAsq, " can hold out until night, and shall'then withdraw." Its t-rms are noi.qed abOad, and there was no dout of hope. Th1e time pass ed in silent preparation. The Federal officers seeing the inevitable result of their snecesses, wiselv and humanely forbore futhe' assault, and the compa. rative stillness was oppressivo. - Disk earni-, and with it, begoan the evacuation. Noiselessly from the lines they had so gallantly defended the Con federates withdrew, and the long dark columns passed through the streets un attacked, unpursued. We were spared the horror of a fight though the streets, which hed 11een fosted. Now -6ogat the wild farewells and long embraces with which mothers sent forth theirsons to unknown fates, and perchance endless parting*. - We draw the cn7tain over them. The darkitess fell ; the milent march con tinued until the old bridge at Pocahon. taR had re-echoed to the tread of the last Confederate soldier. A signal gun sa.id: "It is finished." From right to left of the empty trenches rang deaf. ening explosions, while bursts of angry light shot upward to the bending sky. The army held on its track of retreat along the river bank, the citizens awoke to their chaned condition, and the long agony was3 over. How To Acr WIM4 Tri. CuvT1n. Ali.

Cookery 9elentifically Trented. Professor Blot, a famous authority in I culinary matters, has been giving illus. trated lecture oii cookery In Bo ton, where his sabject and manner of treat ing it attracts much attentiton. lie cooked on the stage the dishes of which he discoursed. Vrom a report of hi. third lecture, published in the Boston Post, we extrac- some general observa tions, which w'1l be found interesting and useful by the ladies : An omelet may be made more flaky by being set in the oven as soon as done. Never bring fat to the table. Potatoes, when cut into thin slips like a pencil, make them potatoes Fran caise. Tho quicker broth cools the longer it will keep. Many people inistake rich food for high seasoned food. Rich food i. healthy - high-seasoned food is tin. healthy. Rich food is not stimulating -hot food is stnulatiig. In summer, make broth every other day. In baking ment, no matter what kind, always put in some broth. The top of an oven is always the warmest. To prevent from burning, grease a paper with butter anl pitt on the top of the article baking. Thia will keep the top of the meat or bread as moist as the bottom. The paper prevents the steam from rising. You need only to baste the paper occasionally. Some meats re quire less time to bake than otheri. Pork and veal, to be healthy, should al ways be overdone. Speaking of the trichnw in meat, the Professor said that, if the meat is over cooked, there was no danger from it. Many people have eaten diseased meat. without injury. A whole brigade of the French nrmy, in 1793-and it was an historical fht-was fed on diseased meat, for four or five months ; and at the end of that time the men were appar ently as healthy as those of other brig. ades who eat wholeaonie meat. The fact of it was, the diseased meat was overcooked,' and idt men did not know the difference. The Professor could not recommend diseased meat, but the object of referring to the subject wsis simply to show the importance, someti:nes, of over-cooking meat. At the close of the lecture, the ladies cnme forward to the platform, and with s)ooi tested some of the Professor's cocking. It was evident that they relished, as on the two previous occa sion, the result of his gastronomical ex periiments. The outfit making in New York for a Nitshville belle who is soon to he mar. ried, conRist of twentV -five dreses. and tl.e bride's dress will be in material and stylo, like the dress worn by Queen Victoria when sho opened the last Par Iiament. It is composed of white satinj, and is made in the new Emrwess shape, with plain and tight front, pointed back, gored skirt, and trail, ono yard iii length, trimmed with a liberal suppty of rich point lace. A dress for the bride's si;-* ter cortsists of green striped and spotted silk, made with new style or waist anld pnf'ed sleeves, trimmed with Cluny lace.. The brisdsmaid-i - dresses are, of pink. tarTatan, overskirt of same material, waist ta-tefully adlorned with lace with a proftmion of silk ribbon running round the skirt. Then thero are grenadines, bareges, and some fighter dresses, as well as choice under skirts and other "mysterios of' the toilet." SILK WORM.-A curious dicovery hasu been made by General Faiherbe, Govenor of the Colony of' Senegal. The General hadl remarked, on the trees of that oountry,. numbers of grubs of' a specie. of silk-wornm, and he was in'. duced to take some pains ims observing t,bem. He was soon sa.isfied that t,bey were it superior. species of silk-worm to those known heretofore. The worm, it appeare,d waal known,. and was described by ento,mologite amany years ago, but nothing was known of its habits not the valne 9f it.s cocoons, It is now disetiver. ed that the coeon of ti silk-worm weigh., lqlpoh 4 avrerage six, handred and't.hi%y-three milligra;mes, whilat that of the eenidnoj' silk-w9m weigna two htmndred ifli niety, and as the esatne tiffre thM silk is of nm:ch be tter quality.
