Making Cheese.

In conversation with one of the largest whole
sale chcesemongers and provision dealers in the
country, he suggested that there were two great
faults of the American cheese, which somewhat
prejudced its sale in the English markets. He
is person in whose character and experience
entire confidence may be placed.
lie was pleased to say that he had checses
from the United States as good as any he had
ever seen, and that the general character of the
article was greatly improved since the first i'm
portatious.
But the first fault was the sofness of the rind
1t oftened cracked, and the cheese became spoil
ed from that circumstance, This he considered
as owing to the cheese being too rich if So it
is a fault which may be remedied. The English
cheeses soon acquire great frmness. | think
proper, however, to add the directions of most
experienced and successful dairy farmer in re-
spect to this matter. He says that the rind may
be made of any desired hardness, if the cheese
be taken from the press and allowed to remain
in brine, so strong that it will take up no more
salt, for four or five hours. There must be great
care, however, not to keep it too long in the
brine.
The second fault is the acidness, or peculiar
w smart bitter taste often found in American
cheeses He thought this might be due, in part,
to some improper preparation or use of the rem
net, and, in part, to some kind of feed which
the COWS found in the pastures Both these mat
tiers are well worthy of investigation, and that
alone can determine.
He was of opinion, likewise, that American
cheese would sell better if it were colored like
the English cheese. The market for it was fast
becoming more extensive.
In respect to American butter, he considered
that which usually came here as a most inferior
article. Most of it, | believe, is used in the
manufacturing districts, solely for greasing ma
chinery. Salt butter, or butter strongly sailed
is not saeable, in the English Market and es
peciay the salt must not appear. | canno
doubt however, that presently some of our hes
June or September butter, put up in Jumps
would find a good market here,-it, in truth, W,
have any to export. The very best fresh butte
in London Market however does not bring S,
high price as have often paid for the best ar
tcle from the county Of Worcester in Boston
market; and | have frequently known the bes
butter to be sold in Baltimore, and even in Gin
cinnati market, for half dollar little more
than two shlings sterling per pound.

bic spring-houses which are to be found in Penn

Consultations for the Lonely.
BY MARY HOwITT.

There is a land where beauty cannot fade,
Nor sorrow dim the eye;
Where true love shall not droop, nor be dis mayed
And none shall ever die!
Where is that land, o where?
For would hasten there;
Tell mel fain would 90,
For I am weary with heavy wo!
The beautiful have left me all alone;
The true, the tender, from my path have gone!
0 guide me with thy hand,
If thou dost know the land,
For am burdened with oppressive care,
And am weak, and fearful with despair.
Where is it? Tell me where.
Friend, thou must trust in him who trod before
The de solate paths of life;
Must bear in meekness, as he meekly BORE
Sorrow, and pain, and strife!
Think how the Son of God
These thorny paths hath trod;
Think how he longed to 90,
Yet tarried out, for thee, the appointed wo;
Think of his WEAKNESS in places dim,
Where no man comforted or cared for i'm;
Think of the blood-like sweat,
With which his brow was wet;
Yet how he prayed, unaided and alone,
In that great agony, THY will be done!'
Friend, do not tkou despair:
Christ, from his heavens of heavens will hear
PRAYER.

Tending the debate in the Senate of the Uni
States, on the 18th inst, upon the bill to in
crease the army, Mr.. Sewer declared that the
Mexican war was but 'tjust now Commencing
The close knowledge of the views and opin-
ions Of the administration, which the gentleman
is reputed to have, impart a weighty interest to
his averments upon the subject. 1t may be Ia
ken as indicating for the Government an aban-
donment of all hopes of q peace except through
a vigorous and sanguinary campaign. 1t would
have been fortunate had the Government adop-
ted this view Of the case at the commencement
of the war; but in supposing that propositions
for peace Immediately following the battles Of
the 9th and 9th of May would be received with
gladness by Mexico, the Administration only
partook of a delusion which was epidemic
throughout the land.
1t is now clear that the Administration is
basing its acquisitions for men and money upon
the presumption Of protfacted war, though it is
also apparent that an attempt will be made to
abridge it by one terrible blow-a blow which,
it It do not appal the enemy, will be followed
BY others equally whitening. Indications Of
this are seen everywhere. The large amount
DISH piping engaged as transports, the purchase
Of a number ofvessels destined to be converted
in bombboats, the collection Of immense guam
titles of explosive shot at various depots, the
purchase Of steam tugs and the preparation of
mountain batteries, give note Of preparation for
a dreadful %crissis. aThe strategy Of the Govern
ment c%ontemplates the exertion Of this whole
naval and military strength Of the enemy

and prosecuting the Mexican families at o rau-
cho near by. They were on their return from
near Monterey, where they had gone contrary
10 order, and where they had received positive
orders to go back to the mouth Of the Rio
Grande. A large portion Of their officers we're
behind, and the men were left to do pretty
much as they pleased, On arriving at Mier,
we learned from indisputable authority that
this same regiment had committed, the day he
fore, outrages against the citizens, Of the most
disgraceful Misunderstanding, or rather, rob
diag, insulting the women, breaking into hou-
SEES, and other feats Of a similar character!-
We have heard Of them at almost every rancho
up to this place. At Cerralvo, are two compa-
MES of an Ohio regiment (CoI. Morgau's regi-
ment) to garrison the place. Gen. Taylor has
issued proclamaiions, assuring the inhabitants
Of the towns in the conquered territory that
they should be protected and we'll treated by
our troops. Since this place has been garrison
ed by volunteers, the families have been sub
jected TO all kinds Of outrages. At Punta
Aguda it has been the same; ard most of those
who could go, have left their houses. Some
have fallen into the hands of the Camanches,
while flying from the prosecutions Of our volun-
teer troops. Recently the people here have re-
ceiyed treatment from men stationed here, Il
do not know who "commands" them,O that
negroes in a state Of instruction would hardly
be guilty of, The women have been repeated
ly violated-(almost an everyday afIair,) hou-
SEES broken open, andinsults of every kind have
been offered to those Whont zoe are bound, By
honor, to protect. This is nothing more than a
statement Of facts. / have no time to make
comments, but | desire to have this published,

to notice every serious offence of the above
mentioned nature. The American arms shall
not be disgraced without the stigma falling on
the guilty parties, If | can be instrumental in
exposing them. 1t would be criminal in me to
overlook these outrages, and, for the sake Of
our national honor, as we'll as for that Of the
United States Army shall not do So"

A FAIR BUSINESS OPERATION. For a little
matter, says the Springfield Republican, we do
not know Of SO mean a trick as the following,
which occurred in this town a few days since,
a little girl, on her way to school, found a
tenpence SO imbedded in ice that she was I'M
able to pick it up, and she asked ga counter
felt p%resentment'' Of a man that was passing
at the time, if he would get it out for her.
Having done SO, he divided the spells, giving
the child five cents and putting the tenpence in
his own pocket Verify, there are some per-
sons mean enough to steal gingerbread from a

OuTRAeFs or THE VOLUNTEERS. - Under this
head we find in the Picayune some severe char
ges against the ~Pennsylgania and Mississippi
Volunteers in New Orleans. Amongihe char
ges we find murder, rapine, robbery and rape.
u sue crimes are committed BY them, upon
our citizens, in the largest city of the
a~oufh-wesi, they are certainly a we'll selected
corps to cOnciliaie the people Of a hostile ma
ton, and win them over to peaceful %associa-
ton with US. That The charges are true, we
have no doubt, whatever. And this proves
most conclusiYeiy to US, that the officers in
command are totally omitted for thatpurpose,
and unworthy the high trust reposed in them.
Upon them should fall the whole dishonor and
disgrace Of these Outrages. They had the
power to prevent them, but instead Of doing
i, they have lent their aid to shield the crimi-
malls from the civil power. We also give an
extract from q letter Of the correspondent Of
the same paper, Mr.. Halle, which throws a lit
lie light on the cOnaiiatoy conduct Of the
Volunteers in Mexico. The Picayunein ano.
