General Hampton.
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

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.?

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. While the

A Petrified Bee Tree.?The Grass Valley j j
National of California says: ^ j'1
There was found a few days since, in the dig-1
gingsof John Chew <fc Co., on Buckeye H.ill, |
in this country, between Greenhofn'JUrcek and 1
Chalk Bluff Mountain, a bee tree and a large j
bee hive, honey and bees petrified. The re- 1
maining portion of the tree in which the .hive 1
was found is 2 1 2 in diameter and aboiif forty
feet loner. Chew Co.,. found the petrified !
bee bivq Go feet beneath the surface while pip- ! 1
ing their claims. The bee hive is no matter of j ;
thncy, but of purp demonstration. Before us
is a sample of the comb full of honey, petrified: (
The normal'thickness of the comb, the dupli- |
cate of cells with , their invariable hexagonial j
shape are all before us as distinctly as if afresh 1
piece of honey comb, all dripping and just cut
from tlie box, had been brought and placed before
our,eyes on a sheet of paper. # '

them by stating,.that we have good authority

The Enquirer itself, the most uncompromi- .

placed the names of McClellan and Pendleton ^

to the thousands who are now preparing to
elect George .15. McClellan our next President,"
