J- B. ALEXANDER, P. M. 23 si 1 Blackberry Wine and Vinegar. The importance to oflr couDtry, in a moral as well as.economical point of view, of the production of a cheap domestic wine, i3 universally admitted. Great efforts have been and ore still being made to introduce varieties of grapa, and will be likely to supply this want. I have no disposition to disparage these efforts or the value of the grape, but it is.nevertheless the fact, that the frnit for the manufaotnre of a good, clreap, domestic table wine, for the Q3e of "the million," and of which every family in the country can have a barrel, grows an.4 nann in kn /^ncnionrl UUX CVOljfUJWj O uvoc UUU 10 IIUC uyopioev blackberrj. Ibis common fruit is, in fact, a member of the grape family, and though it Las long been considered a sort of vagrant and its education has been very tnjaoh J neglected, we are beginning tafind out that | with any kind of deoett treatment, if will exhibit as good "bloOd" and make as good wioe as any of its more fashionable r'elatives. ? ". THE WINENMAY BE MADE AS FOLLOW.S : The blackberry oontafns a very large quantity of Jbice, but it is contained in numerous small cells, all- of which must be broken-in order to effect its perfect liberation. This may bo done by robbing tho berries in a tub with a wooden pestle, if no , hotter means are at band, though a wine press-might, no doubt, be osod to great ad: vantage. The berries shotrtd be ripe, fresh and clean to make the fljcest product Take then as m&Dj ripe, fresh and olean blackberries-as you please, and, as faat as you rub them up so as to break the cells, throw them ii^o a vat or tub of sufficient size to hold all you propose to use at one time. When they are tfans prepared, add to the whole mass the quantity of sugar you intend to nse. Ordinary brown sugar will ?1U veity nt*11^ auu iuu piup?viuuo ujuj w -from half a pound to two pouads for each gallon of berries. If you desire a very flight wine of the olaret order, use very little sdgsr?if a stronger, heavier bodied wine, use more, but be careful oot to use too muoh, ?r yen will have a supply of cordial and not'Wine. According to my experience two pounds is the extreme limit. It is very probable a good* light wine may be -made without any sugar at all, but this I have not tried. Having mixed the sugar with the berries, then add for each gallon of berries, one quart of bbiling water, and stir the whole well together. The heat thus oommuoica ted to the mass will cause a fermtnutiou to commence without the use of yeast or any other substance whatever. After standing about twenty-four hours, the seeds and skins will, most of- them, rise to the- top and may be skimmed offhand the olear liquid may be drawn off into the casks or other vessels destined to receive it The vessels containing the wine should now*be removed ioto a cool cellar or vaolc, and nothing remains to be done bat to allow the vinous fermentation to go tbrongh its regular course. This it will do iu the course of three or four weeks, and the vessels may then be stoppered or bunged up. 1 have lost two five gallon demijohns by' putting in the stoppers too soon. They exploded and went to pieces. Wiue made in this way will keep' well without bottling. Any family, therefore, that cau have acce? to berries (and a'mosi every farmer's family can obtain them) may have a five, ten, or forty gallon cask of excellent wine?worth ten times the same quantity of cider, and a great deal better than the foreign wines which cost them from one to.two and three dollars the gallon ?at a very small cost of money aod labor. Bat this is not ail, they may also have, PLENTY OP CAPITAL VINEOAR, Bo not throw away the seeds qod skins after drawing off the most Poor warm water of er these until they are entirely covered, and let tbem stand in an open vessel three or four days. Then draw off the liquid and let that stand ootil the acetous fermentation takes place. A small quantity of coarse sugar or molasses will hasten the process. In this way a most excellent arti clo of wine vinegar may be obtained; and those who have used the delectable stuff commonly sold by the grocers under the name of vinegar, will consider the quantity thus obtained from the blackberries worth more than the cost of all the materials need **??!?{??/?

Perseverance Under Difficulties. ?Illustrating what oau be ocoouijiiohed towards making the country self supporting, oven in the midst, of a .desolating w;r, Gov. Vance of North Caroiiou, (who, by the by, i understands that the mission of a Governor has as much to do with the material welfare of his people as witb the writiug ol politicometaphysical messages,) in a recent speech, narrated an instance that came under his immediate observation, where a poor widow with three children, the eldest incapable of taking caro of tho youngest, cultivated, loof t aor a rotnh rontpil ornnnrt roirh IWV JWWI ? f ...... | the assistance of a Ijttle steer not much lar- i ger than a calf. Afraid to lea,vc her litilo ones at home iu her cabio, she would take them daily to the field, build for thetu a small pen, cover it with.leaves to protect them from the sun, and when she had plowed a distance from her little brdod, would move the pen to a m'ore convenient spot,* that she might watch over them and nurse her babe at the end of a weary row . She raised three hundred and sixty-seven bush els of corn, had plenty to support herself and children, and sold to ber neighbors, j "The brow of that woman (continued his Excellency) is worthy the.proudest lau rels that ever regarded the virtue- of the. i patriot or testified to the endurance of. the 'hero. * .'/ v _ ' :f." . The Cry still for War. * It was the general impression at the ] tforth that this oaujpaign would close the v war. It was pretty .distinctly stated in lea* g ding Yankee journals, that one grand, cod- 1 centrated effort under "thif tnan on horse- a baq?," would be made, and that -it would c beHhe final one.. If successful,^ all Yan- v keedotn was positively assured-it would be, the rebels would have no other alternative t than to throw down their arms and beg for ti peace. If unsuccessful, as all Yankeedom ]< was assured it would not and could nf)t>be, i then tfio subjugation of the Soath would be e i J : i! lk i.1 i j considered impracwcauie add sue ausuru u soteme would be abandoned. The New t York Herald said iu plaid terms some two p months ago, that if Grant failed to take t Richmond and thereby crash the rebellion s at a single blow,'it never could betaken, o and therefore, by logical doduction, the re- p bellion could neverdje crushed. We have, f: no manner of doubt that this was the feel- 'ii iog and idea prevalent at- the North when c Grant was pat in command of the army of 'the Poiomao. It was to be the playing out a of the last card-in the game, whether it won f or lost, the wtr.was to be bronght to an im- a imediate close. To swell.the multitude of e Grant's forces, every other army was de- -o pie ted and every garrison and post drained t from Maine to Florida. ii Now, since Grant's signal failqre to take s Richmond fa tho repeated/attempts he had ti made to; do so,?now, since he haslaban- t: doned line after line and base after base, o under pressure of bloody defeats, until be ]j has reached a place of refuge, rendered * memorable by McCIellan's occupation of it c in the summer of 1862, under precisely e the same circumstances the Lincoln press, ti as wo know they would do, arc urging the 1 prosecution of tfoe#war, just as if it was not a a week bid, and just as if it had cost them s; not a dollar or a life. The Herald is foremost, of course, in this cry for more blood fi and more debt, in contemptuous disregard p of its own eoinmittals two months ago to ti abide the result of Grant's campaign, as a o finality. Tnis is the way tho venal, lying, o wicked Yankees press is constantly endeavor- g iog to keep the people of the Jtyorth from ti turning aside from the road-to rain over ti which they are rushing with rail road speed. Wc only wish that these editorial brawlers ti for war, with Lincoln and Seward, and tho t! whole brood of shoddy contractors, could all f, of them be put in the forefront of the.bat- ^ tie, so that rebel steel and gunpowder could g have a chance of ridding the world of such i monsters. If they bad to do any part of b the fiyhtiny, in their own persons, there fll would be peace in twenty four hours. They tl want the war continued, not because they 8 expeot to suooeed in crushing the rebeliioo, J but merely for the gratification of -their c devilish mahgnity. They'know that they. a have nothing to gain and everything to lose t< by persisting in hostilities,* but they are f< utterly reokless and desperate?and see not, rj heed not in thoir frenzy the abyss into*which they are hasteniug to preoipitate themselves., ^ Well, we say, let them have war?as they certainly will have it until they are siok of it. The South is willing to accommodate t hem to their heart's contend in this matter, uud will do so to a certainty, untill her in iiunoiirinn(r<> is fnllv and unreservedly ac ?J ? ^ knjw! edged by tbe Yankees. As much as <*110 values peace, she values liberty and ? honor iulirjitely tnorc?and "she will never ^ sacrifice the latter to the former. Petersburg Express. ? A Most Horrible Outrage by the ^ Enemy.?The Richmond Exdminer"gives ^ tbe particulars of an aot of brutal-lawless- * ness committed by the enemy id New KeDt coanty, which, while it perfectly illustrates ^ the Yankee character, is too shocking to ' humanity and morals for recital here, but for a desire to vindicate history, ancient and modern, from the supposition that their ^ 'records blush with a deed eqnal to it-in tbe j God defying atrocity. Two young ladies, daughters of one of the most wealthy and ! respected citizens of New Kent,-were seiz- ^ ed by a squad of the enemy who invaded the residence, forced into a chamber and j3 their maiden persons violated by the fiends , ' incarnate in the' presence of their parents, who could do nothing but implore tbe wretches fo Kill tuem .ana com mow a iaie worse tbao death. We woold cover op this deed, crying as it is, and appealing to all ^ the dictates?of social life, bat for the eonscioasness that facts sovdamoiog should go upon the record to be handed down as evi- n deoco agaiust those examplars of philanthopy who arc warring against liberty, virtue ? and the social system of civilization. Is a 1 ; Chiiatian government, such ds the Confed- 0 erate States uphold, to do nothing in Vindi- ^ cation of Jaw, virtue and humanity wbeo ^ outrcged by bhrbarism ? Cannot General Leo make a demand upon Grant for the 1 persons of the brutes who are the guilty ^ perpetrators of this great crime ? We are . triad ro know the authenticated foots in the above case are about being laid" before the J G'veruuient for its aotion. Speedy, stern, ^ summary action is demanded; if Dot, virgin purity is a byword, and liberty a mockery.

From reports of his coflree here, it woald appear that he was quit? faithful to the reputation which he had built in other places. We learn that there were scarcely any exemptions on aoconnt of physical disability?that there are now in the entire District of Lancaster bat aboat fourteen persons who retain exemptions from this cause. Many of those who had held exemptions for disability upr to this time were assigned to lightservice; and many others were . accepted For fall service, who are known to be very unfit for field duty. We have in our mind a number of per sons of the latter class, who in the present dearth of men at home, were usefully em ployed io superintending "the farms and bahinesa of families and widows of soldiers. Though clearly unfit for field duty, tbpy could in this way tender important service to the country..
