To Make Butler In Five Minutes
Wi lit out a C burn.
A correspondent,highly recommends the following
recipe : ' , .
. .After, straining the milk, set it a^ay for
a. i n 1 j-_ iL. x. J? /Ui't
huou'. iz^nours iorxiuo cream 10 rree.
* dishes onght-to have good strong handles to
lift them by.) . 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. Butter raado in
thw ajanner wi)l be.mnch firuier and less oily
in hot weather than when made in the ordina
ry tffy .-?Field and Firesrde.

whose terra of service has -expired, and, who are
detained in captiyity because Lincoln, having no further
use for them, will not excliango th.em for oar own
vmen, have entered our service and are now Aiing duty
on 'James' Island. We bolieve, with that paper,
that thousands of them would gladly accept the same
proposition, if properly, made to them, the disgraceful
conduct of th? ir own Government having released
them from all obligations to it,

The Macoh Telegraph is permitted to make
the annexed extracts from a private letter from
Wheeler's command. 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. I
think the damage we have done the railroads
wij! require at lyast thirty days to have
it repaired. In the meantime how is Sherman
...k.i.t i.:~ i ~c ? i i ?
hj oufaiob ins aiin; xtuiii ujc wsl miorraation
we could obtain, twenty days rations was
t^e utmost of bis supply. I can but think
Gen. Sherman's army must retreat?at least
to Chattanooga, if not further.
I ^ r#i ^
From'Northern Mississippi.?The Yan!
kees seem t<J he quiet above. It is said Marmaduke
and Price are giving them as much as
th'ey can attend to across the river.
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. New issue, although exI
tremelv scarce, has'not. reduced nrieas at. all
i -j ' rr ? ?
Ou the contrary, cveiythmgjs nigoer dow than
it was twelve months agp, when the country
was flooded with Confederate treasury notes.

I he ifriU prore himself fully equal to the emerI

FROM PETERSBURG: '
Petersburg, Oct. 2.?Telegrams received
yesterday, lh represcnting'that oar forces had
for a while fecaptored and tk^n relinquished a
portion of our breastworks, captured from the
cavalry on Friday^. is calculated' to mislead.?
The facts are, our ibfdntry charged aud drove
the enemy from tjie lihe of breastworks whioh
they had thrown up in advance of onr last
works?these our fortes lield yesterday, with a
large number of the enemy?* killed and wounded,
but relinquished possession last 'night, and
fell back a 6hort distance. No further effort
was made to dislodge the enemy from the lost
works near Fort MeRae. Yesterday evening
^he enemy's cavalry pressed forward still furlh-;
er on our right, some eight miles below here')
driving back our cavalry some distance. Our
cavalry however.being^rcinlbrced, reformed, and
after a ~bard fight, drove the enemy back and
reestablished the lines from which for a while
our men had been dislodged. .During the
fight our cavalry captured about two hundred
prisoners. Our loss slight?that of the enemy
heavy. Among the slhin is Gen. Dunovant
and Dr. John Fontaine, Hampton's Medical
Director. Our losses since Thursday are not
over seven hncdred. Our cavalry host one
piece of artillery, when dislodged from Fort
McRae, on Friday morning. Total number of
prisoners captured thus far, amounts'to -seventeen
hundred. The enemy have been shelling
our position near the scene of bnerations for
last few clays, and for several hoars this forenoon,
but amounted to nothing.? Fighting may
be renewed at any moment.
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. Their army also
cheered a good deal last night. It is the impression
that the euemy intends to move on
our lines. Our troops are in fine spirits, "and
ready for the enemy. Rain falling this evening.
FROM RICHMOND.
