This has been another exciting day in stocks
At the opening the market was quite pancky, and
decline of one per cent was realized in the lead
ing fancy stocks, the bears Offering their options
with their usual bodness. After the board an eff
fort was made to buy stocks for delivery, which
caused a general rally of q "a per cent. At the
second board every one rushed in to buy, and an
advance OF Ia per cent was realized on the

TRANSFERRING THE WAR TO SOUTH CARO-
LIMA FOR THE WINTER.-A body Of troops
nearly equal to that which sailed on the great
expedition is being concentrated at Annapo-
lis, and will be ready for departure by the
time the transports return and have taken
aboard coal and supplies for another voyage
This Is certainly forward movement of most
formidable character. 1t may mean nothing
less than the shifting of the most important
scenes Of the war for the winter from Eastern
Virginia 10 South Carolina If good standing
Is effected and important positions are secured
on the southern coast, il will be easier to send
supplies TO the troops that may be employed
on the most distant stations than it is now to
supply the Army Of the Potomac. A single
track railway, now that the Potomac is effec-
tually blockaded, is the sole chance of commu-
nicstion between the loyal States and the
capital and grand army Of the nation. Our
transport vessels have the ocean before them
for the work Of conveying supplies to the army
Of the southsrn coast. Besides, the campaign
can hardly be conducted with vigor during the
winter in Eastern Virginia. while in the ex-
treme South winter is the only season for ac-
tive military operations. The chances are,
therefore, IL q fair commencement is made
that at least SO, 900 Of our troops, and perhaps
many more, will be speedily sent upon coast
expeditions. Ifit is not proposed to move for
ward directly from Washington, $4,000 men
would be an ample force to hold that city and
Maryland, leaving about 100 900 of the force
already collected for operations elsewhere.

RLoATISG Batteries FOR TIE MISSISSIPPI.
The floating batteries building at st. Louis for
opening the navigation Of the Mississippi are
distinct affairs from the gunboats, and are to
be towed by the latter. The batteries are of
solid timber twelve inches square, and lying
In three tiers Of this timber deep. This Is
strongly bolted together, and forms the hull of
the vessel. Wells are cut through the two
upper tiers about four and half feet square,
and lined with zinc to keep out the water.
These wells serve for magazines or places for
keeping the ammunition. There are four of
these in each foat. This solid platform is so
BY Is feet, being logger in the middle than at
the ends, each ed being sharpened. The
whole Is covered with thick plank. Entirely
around the outside Of the foat is q parspet or
bulwark Of iron three-eighths Of an inch in
thickness and six and q half feet in height
This is Inclined inward, % as to give a giancing
direction 10 any shot ths may strike It. The
armament Of these hoals is TO consist of a.
pound mortars, three upon one side, and % ar
ranged as TO deliver their charges over the
iron psrapet that surrounds them. and which
protects those who serve them There are
thirty eight Of these mOnstrous batteries to be
built, twenty-six Of which are nearly ready for
use, and the remainder are begun.

GATHERING AND KEEPING APPLEs.-In or
der to secure soundness and good preservation,
1t Is indispensably necessary that the fruit
should be gathered by hand. For winter fruit
the gathering is delayed as long as possible
avoiding severe frosts, and the most successful
practice with our extensive orchardists is to
place the good fruit directly, in a careful man
ner, in new, tight -four barrels, as soon as
gathered from the tree. These barrels should
be gently shaken while filing, and the head
closely pressed in; they are then placed in q
cool, shady exposure, under a shed open TO the
air, or on the north side of the building. pro-
teeted by covering Of boards over the top,
where they remain for a fortnight or until the
cold becomes too severe, when they are care
fully transferred to q cool, dry cellar, to which
air can be admitted occasionally in brisk
weather. A cellar for this purpose should be
dug in dry grayelly or sandy soil, with, if pos
sible, slope to the north, or, at any rate,
with openings on the north side for the admis-
sion Of air very rarely in weather not exces-
sively cold. Here the barrels should be placed
in tiers on their sides, and the cellar should
be kept as dark as possible. In such q cellar,
one OF the largest apple growers in Duchess
county is able to keep the Greening apple,
which, In the fruit room, usually decays In
January, until the 1st of April, in the fresh
est and finest condition. Some persons place
layer Of clean rye straw between the layers
OF apples when packing them In barrels.

The present year is undoubtedly the most event:
full the political history of this country and the
record Of occurrences transpiring at the Fed
eral Metropolis is naturally Of striking and re-
markable interest. The public desire to receive
prompt, fs'I Gna -slid6!s aesOsnts Of all that
passes here is most intense, aud we have
consequently made alterations and Improvements
in the weekly issue OF the washington star to
meet this want most satisfactorily. In compli-
ance with the wish Of the public the paper has
been changed from a quarto to the more conve-
nient folio shape, and now appears a handsome

and carefully prepared Reading Matter, and bear
ing the name of the

tant topics Of the times; the news Of the week;
