General Hampton's late foray upon the larder of Grant whs a very useful, as well as a very brilliant, affair. It furmshes our army with about one million of pounds of t'qe best, beef wbich the Yankee markbts affdrd, and will feed them full for some -time yet to come.? Grant has proved nearly as serviceable to Lee in Bis quality of commissary and quartermaster as Banks did to Jackson in times gone by. . As Hampton is now understood'to be Gen- j oral Lee's Master of Horse, it on hardly be im-! proper to give the public of Virginia,who know ; him only from his exploits, and who arc deeply ! interested in matters of which he will have the principal cliarge, some idea of what sort of a man he is. We speak, ourselves, only from.. heresay, for we do not. recollect that wa ever saw him in our lives. He is said to he, then, in the prime of life, of a strong natural under-' standing, considerably cultivated-, of immense ! physical strength and activity/of wonderful en- ' durance, and of inexhaustible energy, lie lias .j been ali bis life passionately addicted to field j sports and wood craft, in both of which be is j said to excel most men of his day.*Onc faculty of the last importance to an officer holdingsuch a command as his, he is said to possess in a veVy remarkable degree? that, namely, of becoming acquaiuted- instantly, and almost instinctively, with all the features of whatever locality be may happen to pass over ,* To such an extent is this faculty developed that we have heard it said, if he were, blind y folded and carried thirty miles into a forest in v.oA i.. c? i ... ?i,i c? i nmvu lie waet iieier utuu ULlultr, liu y?UUIL| uuu out where he was in five m.nntes after the removal of the bandage. lie never camps a dqy in a neighborhood .without making himself suf_ ' t ficiently acquainted with all the roads, bye' roads aud hog paths, to act as a guide, If is , courage is of that calm, deliberate, imperturbable character which N apoleon described as the "two o'clock in the morning"- courage, and which consists in never being thrown off the' proper balance by any surprise, no matter bow Budden, or any danger, no matter how little foreseen. Yet no man is more impetuous, in the charge, or more rapid in the pursnit. Gen. Hampton possesses another qualification very important in a cavalry officer, and yet not always possessed even by good cavalry officers. He is passionately fond of horses, and uncomlnooly fine judge of them; takes a pleasure In studying their nature and wants, and thus affords the best gnarantee that he wift make bis men attend to them. Whan we add that be is a splendid rider, .a practiced swordsman, and ar excellant shot y?bu,t above all, that he is what Carlyle calls "an earnest man," with no frivolity or childishness about bihi, but devoted with all the deep enthusiasm of his nature tothe cause in which he is engaged, wcr have said enough, we tbsnk,to'show that the cavalry of Gen. Lee's army is in very good hands.? jRichmond Dispatch. - ' To Prevent Molasses from Fermenting. ?Sorghum molasses imperfectly manufactured, is very apt to ferment, and?become sour in hot weather. The cause and rpracdy are both easily understood. The fermentation is #due to ? the presence in tbo first.place of too much wa-' ter; and in the second place to natural acids of the juice left in the molasses unneutralized. k . The remedy for too much water is- simply boill ing of course. This-should be kept up until a thifck syrup is the result, on cooling.
