VEGETABLE CELLARs.-It is difficult to under
stand on what principle so many market gardeners
endeavor to carry on their business without the
necessary convenience of vegetable cellar.
Without this, even in the summer, he must of ne
cessily be very much al the mercy of trucksters,
who TOO lazy cultivate for the nselves, manage TO
pick up smart living on the industry of others -
With he keenest judgment, 1t will frequently hap
pen that gardener gets large quantity ofproduce
together, with the expectation Of quick sale, and
finds to his modification that everybody else had,
like him, brought great load and the consequence
is that lie must sell at any price, spoil his goods
for want of storage for night or two. In the fall
again he sell out there is help for him, and
that p per cent below actual prices and 90, and
often 100 per cent below winter prices.
His produce once disposed of, then he has nothing
10 do TOR four or six months but squander what be
roiled so hard for and all for the want of
patton which the selling of his own produce would
give him, surprising be had cellar to store it in
during winter.
For a market gardener, we consider good warm
cellar as necessary part of his eonvenences as
horse and wagon.
The following method of preserving vegetables in
winter by the Russians is given in an early number
Of LoudoH's Gardeners Magazine, and may not be
ill-tmed at this season. We have known cellars Of
the best description built under ground, the roof
trched with brick work, and covered with at least
three feet of soil:
'sCabbages are preserved in the gardens (set close

OF old boarks, covering them with the old dung of

and the shoveling over of all the earth from
the adjacent beds. If the ground is dry, and ii is
possible dig downwards, the house lif it may be

sENATOEIAL-HoN. G. W. JONES.

We believe that Andrew johnson is the first
choice Of the Democracy Of Tennessee for L. ).
Senator. One issue before the people in the last
canvass was the election Of two [. $. Senators by
ne next legislature. This point made by the
Hon John B-u in his speech at this place just be-
fore the election We see the name of Hon G. W.
Jones iavOraby mentioned by several Of our cotem
poraries. There is no man ia the State we would
prefer e. see elected over G. W Jones' U. .. Sen
ator. He is a faithful public servant, and his
Democracy is Of the jefferson and Jackson school OF
politics and his abilities a statesman, and pOltl-
clan are not surpassed by any man in or out of the
State. There are many other Democrats IN the
State of high standing and position, but none more
deserving of a ceat in the Senate than our talented
Congressman George " Jones Mr.. Jones has
acquired for himself q national reputation, as an
able aud ar seeing statesman. He has made the
most faithful public servant the Stale of Tennessee
has ever mad IN tine national legislature. His course
ID public lie has ever been characterized by a
strict and due regard 10 the wants of the country,
and in 10 iusra has he ever pursued policy to
elevate himself He is guided by no selfish motives,
but his whole public lie has verified the fact thai
he has ever had at heart the good Of the country
and the constituency he represented We are for
him our choice Tor L. Senator. We believe
Andrew johnson and George W. Jones, the maker
Of their own fortunes, one a tailor and the other
sadicr are the choice Of the Democracy Of TeHnes
see for u. 5 Senators. The Hon Geo &c W. Jones
has heretofore had more influence and weight in the
Federal Legislature tuau any other man, aud the
tauactcs and aboltiouists North fear and dread him
more than any other man in the country, and he IS
IN our estimation the man for the time. We there
fore urge his claims upon the consideration Of the
public and hope that the Legislature Will elect him
rs one OF the TWO to be elected Mr.. Jones, ia
as we know, is not a caJd date but the people Will
make him one, and he is their FIRST chOise.-She.5y

ced some time since the capture Of fifteen of their
number-six squaws and nine pappooses-by Capt.
Jacob Mckler We find the following particulars
Of the capture in the Tampa Penasular Of the 10Th
instant:
Capt NJ, with twenty-five men, was approaching
an island in saw grass swamp when he heard sounds
of wood chopping. The command was divided into
two parties, the island was surrounded and charge
ordered, which was promptly made. But one war
rlor was seen; he was pursued by three men, and
probably would have been captured but for the ac
cidontal dis sEarge Of a gun, slightly wounding one
Of the pursUers. Fearing attack and the loss OF
his captiyes Capt. NJ speedily left the ground H.
afterwards returned with five men and burned the
nuts, and, as be supposed, the effects Of the In
dams.
The squaw captured by Capt Sparkman, on the
18th ult. Two days after Mi1kler capture, made
IN substance, the following statements, which may
be taken for what they are worth:
She was one Of the party attacked by Capt Mick
Ter, Of which Fussewah was chief-the party com
prised seventeen warriors and a large number OF
women and children. The warriors had no ammuui-
ton; when attacked they secreed themselves in the
grass, and witnessed the capture Of their wives and
children, without charge of powder or a ball 70

A CRITICLSING HUSBAND.

A contributor to the Independent gives graphic
picture Of very unpleasant and annoying phase OF
domestic life:
"Quite dishful of raw eggs" said Mr.. Ellery,
he turned the third one from lis shell into the
egg cup. The remark was make in no ill-humored
Tone His face wore sour, no fault finding
preston. Nevertheless, his poor wife, who had
deiiy Boiled eggs for him during the last twenty
years, and always by the minute hand, had never
heard once the expression, in all that time, "My
dear, these eggs are just right"
Daily had Mrs. EIlery varied, and daily did the
objections vary. "You forgot you eggs this morn
ing, didn't yOu?" Next mOrniug-'.Your eggs are
pretty soft, but they Il do" Morning afrer-"Bet-
ter save these eggs for bulets; and thus the poor
woman never pleased. Still he could manage to dis
pose of two three or four at breakfast.
Misfortunes never come alone; and Mr.. Eerys
eggs were not his only mishaps. His shirts never
hIIed right about the shoulders. The bOSOms were
stiff as a board, or lmpsey handkerchief His
meals were always a little too late or little too
early, and the forever too hot or too cold
But we are not pretending to follow the poor man
through all his trials; have only to do with the
eggs Mr. Ellery is not an epicurc or a gOrmandI-
ger; he is only at his own table little particular,
cr as he expresses it, he 'cannOt what is not fit
to eat" From home he can relish whatever is put
before hiB, aud is ever deemed pleasant guest
Perhaps, should the truth out, it would appear
that Mr. Eery has fallen into habit of home fault
GndIng-a sort o. domestic criticism; and from this
unconscious habit his wife, the labor Of whore life
Is to please him, is doomed to undergo perpetual
disappointment.
Mr. Euery is upright man. lie values him
self on being good husband a man OF Purer mo-
rails never lived. Down, away down in the bottom
Of his heart, his wife occupies a warm place; but
is so far down as be matter Of faith, not Of
sight.
Her young days overfowod with cheerfulness and
that In her fathers house. if she cooked anything,
why Bessie. what toast you make! give me an
other slice. And these eggs. it is something to have
fresh eggs at this season and it is more still to
have a daughter that can cook them just right,
Bessie has faded young, as American women are
wont to do Her brown curly hair has given place
to many a silvcry thread, aud her meals give few
limitations of the gleesome board that Bessie Wolcott
gladdened IN her girlhood.

own, illustrative Ofthis remarkable instinct in this
noble animal He purchased a horse in portion Of
he State separated from his own region by noun
taiAs and rivers and took him home by route
extending nearly hundred and fifty miles. He
placed him in pasture lot for the night, but in the
morning the horse was gone. In few days it
was ascertained that he had returned that very
night to his old home, reaching there by daylight.
He had taken straight course across the country,
swimming rivers and crossing the mountain. On
his arrival he showed signs of great fatigue, having
travelled sixty seventy miles during the night,
following unerringly the point of the compass to
which he desired TO 60 His memory would of
course have served him in retracng the route by
which he had come. But guided by the same in
