After standing as above, set the milk, without disturbing it, on the stove; let it remain there until you observe the coating of cream on the surface assume a wrinkled appearance, but be careful it does not boil, as should this be the case, tho cream will mix with the milk and cannot be again .collected. Now sit It away till quite cold and then skim off the cream, mixed with atfjittle milk as possible.? When sufficient cream is collected, proceed to make it into butter as follows: Take a wooden bowl, or any .suitable vessel, and having first scalded and then rinsed it with cold spring water, place the'Cream in it. Now let the operator hold his hand in water as hot as can be borne for a few seconds, then plunge it in cold t water for about a minnte, and then commence ( to agitate the crfeam by a gentle circular motion. In five minutes, or less, the butter will have come, when, of coarse, it must be washed and salted according'to taste, and onr correspondent guarantees that do betterbutter can be made Jby the hest churn ever invented. . ) .To; those who keep only one cow, this method of making butter will bo found really valuable ; while quite as large a quantity of butter is obtained as by the common mode, the skim milk'is much aweeter aud palatable, *In the summer season it will usually t?e "found necessary to bring the cream out of the cellar (say a quarter of an hour before churning) to take the exeessive chill offin winter place the vessel containing the cream over another containing # water to warm it then continue to agitato the cream until the chili has doparted. Before washing the butter, separate 'all the milk yon possibly can, as the latter will be found'excellent forteacakos.

It is dated Athens, Ala: "We are just returning from our grand raid on Sherman's lines of communication. The expedition thus far is a most perfect success io every way. We have destroyed effectually some.fifty tnilcs of "the Railroad in Middle Tennessee, and Georgia. We have captured hundreds of prisoners and an immense amount of U. S. Government property of every sort. In every fight we have made with the enemy, we have beeD victorious.? We went in about two and a half miles of Nashville. Our trip throughout Tennessee was a continuous grand ovation.?and has given us some 2,000 recruits of most excellent material for cavalry. The people of Tennessee arp very cheerful, and have the finest crops known for j years, which they are very anxious for the ( brave boys of our gallant army to come and , consume. In the midst of our brilliant sue cesses, a cloncPof sadness covers the 6cene, in the case of Gen. Kelly, who was wonnded on the 2d inst, neaf Franklin, while arranging his line of battle. is wound was so severe that we were compelled to leave him in the-enpniy's lines, but in the hands of kind friends. Dr. Gait, the surgeon of the division, thinks he may possibly recover. His gallantry and bis ability as a soldier was of the first order, and we never lost a more useful officer. Do not supposo the good people of Tennessee?and they arc a host?are subdued.? By no meabs. Milk and honey, and every other good thing to tempt the appetite,- was lavished upon us everywhere?and the "God bless the Rebels" was on every tongc.

Last week five or six hundred came out within a few miles of Hernando, and squadron of one hundred and fifty dashed into the place.?v | They remained in the vicinity ten or fifteen days, dui nnany went Dack to Memphis. It is said that Gen. Morgan L. Smith is to he place in command at Memphis, but this is not ' generally believed, for Washburnc is a great favorite with Lincoln, and the command at Memphis is a very soft, shady place, except when Forrest gets scarce }f horses. Blockade running is. pretty-well broken up, and some of the old operators have sold out and gone South. Goods are higher, iere than they are in Mobile. The fact is, they are too high everywhere.

Petersburg, Oct. 3.?No fighting to-day f and no change in position. The Yankee forces was busy running trains along their lines all last night, as if reinforcing.
