Eating Economically.
What kind of food has the most nourishment
and coats the least?' is a question
of great practical importance.' aEFbe following
table mayiie studied with considerable
interest by every family. They will show
the mode of propagation, the amount of
nutriment, and the time required for ,the
digestion of the most common* articles' of
food placed upon onr tables. A dollars'*
north of meat, attweoty five cents a pound,
goes as far as fifty eents' worth of batter, at
half 8 dollar a pduhd.' Three pouddt. of
flour, at ieight cents a pound, is said to eon
Cain aatoiuof? nutriment as ttfbe pounds of
roast beef, whicfi, at .25 otfnts, Is' $2.25;
that is, 25 oeota' worth of flour "goel ss-tar
*s nine times that'mnoh mbriey spent for
roast beef, as Weighed at the butoherVstall.:
( - A pint of white beans, weighing one lb
ana oostiog seven cents, contains aw muen
nutriment as three pounds and a half "of
rdlst beef, "oosttntf eighty seven and a half
cents. Of air the articles that cstf-be eaten
too cheapest are bread, 'batter, molasses,
beans and rice. A pound of corn meali
Clndiao) goes as ferns a pound7of floor; so
that fine family floor at sateen dollars a bar-'
re!, aod'ooro meal at four cents, the"Tatter
is jaft one .half less expensive.*If eorn
and wheat were groaod, and the whole pro
duct, bran am] all, were made info bread,
fifteen per oentfr of nutrimdfct^ would be?
saved, with muolrgreater healthfulness.?

The Yankee Prisoners'ai Undersonv-ille?A
correspondent of the ^Atlanta
Confrdenact/ says : ? . '
"Andereonville was Sn interesting pod
novel spectacle to me. The Taoke^ prisoners
within the, stockade, about SO,00Q io
number, when olosely viewed, resemble
more in their motions, a hive of befesleeo
through a glass opening than aaytbiog^else
I can think ob The area of the stockade
is being rapidly increased by Geo' Winder,
who is evidently desirous of d^ing all in bia.
poWet- to make theni* comfortable. They
have thousands of little huts and tents, variously.
constructed, whiob'seem to protect,
them from the scorotriog rays -of the sun
and the inclemency of ttfefeweatber generally.
Geo.- W. informed, me tharvery soon

temporary shanties for tbdir oomfort. A

the stockade, supplying them with wkter
for-bathicurand other oornoses/'I saw ban

00 the. whole, their condition, as it'is,
and had as it deserves to "Be, seethed better

however, of every effort to treat them with
hamaoiry, thoiwDtfrtalUyjk great, averaging
about one hundred. perTday. About
2000 are in hospital. Over. 36,000 have
beeo received since the establishment pf.
Aodersonville as a military prison. .
The, prisoners are said to be~ very docile,
bat greyly exasperated at tha Royal
Ape for not exchanging them They were
greatly plated last evening at finding a paragraph
in one of our oewspapere stating that
a general ezohaqgeiof prisoners would soon
be resumed.. *
The defences of Addereonville are admirably
planned by the skillful veteran, Gen.
Winder. Formidable batteries of^artillery
bear directly on tbe prisoners, in the event
of au emeutie ; and Strong works, with ar
tillery, defend tbo place against hostilities
from without. A strong force of in Bin try
is there also. Raiders would find tbltnselves
wofulIy deceived if they were to at-'
tempt tbe liberation or tbe prisoners. >

An Armistice Pressed at Washington.?The
Washington correspondent of
the New York Hem Id, writes : . .
The armistice question is almost the only'
topio in Washington, It i^kaewo post
lively that prominent republican party managers
regard it as vitally important that
Mr. Lioebltj should immediately take steps
to open negotiations io this respect.
A conference was held a few days ago of
New .Eoglanfl leaders,.in which it'waa concluded
that the only safety of the administration
party, under existing-cireaQjatnoces,
is io proposing negotiations for a terming
tibo of the war. These necessarily involve
an armistice, which-will allow? postponement
of the draft notil after the.electioo,
and will also permit soldiers to be sent
home to vote. Senator WfUoa, of Ma*sa
ohusetts, has paid a visit to Washington, to
ro nMoon t '-fn ?ka President. the imir.ion of
the R-publicum of New Eugla&dthat this
necessity exists. Mr. Fessaodeo, the new
Secretary o' the Treasury, t?Jjo is, engnieuut
of the movement, is understood to have
deohred that if soaiethiog of this kiod is j
