PBoIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE DISPATCH

FRBDBRIcxsBURs, July g. 1851
Several very amusing incidents occurred on
board the ST Nicholas before and after her
seizure by COL Thomas and his gallant follow *
eTs. Among them, will mention one which
occurred after Capt. HoiIins was taken on
board at Point Lookout: The Captain (Hoi-
hns) was, as a matter of personal safety, dis
snised, and although well known to Captain
kirTan, was not recogn izea by him until af-
the old French woman into the terror i'm part
ing Zouave, Col. Thomas. But before the
disgCises were thrown off, Capt. Kirwan OBJ
sarved "sly' winks passing between the
French woman and the Disguised naval Off
Ger, and very naturally thought he bad dis

Of some OF his friends, predicting ''scne

The Federal t'on9pess.

This day Is to be desecrsted by the assem-
bling of the Federal Congress in Washington,
a body which will be mere register of the
edicts and arprover of the usurpations Of LIN
coin. The Northern press generally under
stands that such will be it's character. List
the world might make the mistake Of
supposing that the Northern people wee ret
ssare Of TIE unconstitutional acts of LIN
coin, they appear determined to prevent any
such error. They shamefully confess the
knowledge that the Constitution and laws
have been utterly disregarded, and declare
tina, Congress will approve all that the presi-
dent has done. The New York Times says:
Congress will act as if invested with the
power OF a National Convent ton; for in merely
sanctioning what the Executive has already
done. in the levying of troops for three years,
in the use OF unappropriated moneys for ex-
Taordinary expenses, and in its appoint
ments, 1t will have TO transcend the authority
of the Cons titution. And there can be no
hesitation, not only in approving these acts,
but, if necessary, resortiDg to other measures
equally nnwarTaDted by The precise letter OF
that instrument" =

Look After the Young Colts.
Calves and Lambs.

These young animals, being weaned
and getting a good healthy growth on the
fresh grass Of the summer pasture, are
apt to get pinched by the sharp frosts of
October and November, if exposed to
them and the occasional cold rains of the
season. With plenty Of food, a frosty
niglt IN dry weather docs not hurt them
But if possible, we would prefer to bring
all the young things 10 the shed at night,
where they can rest under a warm dry
covering, and 90 out when the sun is we'll
up in the morning. No animal, paIticu-
larly a young one, likes frosted grass,
while frozen: therefore they do not eat
1t until the frost nelts away, and they
are quite as well in the stable, with a lit
tie sweet hay before them, which they
will readily eat al this time Of year-and
all the better as change of diet
We have seen a fine lot of calves, lambs
and colts, in nice condition, from being
left out through series of frosty nights,
and October and November storms, with
plenty Of grass about them, run down
their flesh wretchedly, from exposure
alone and when it is so easy to prevent
it care should be taken to do so. A warm
well summered animal young or old should
90 into Winter quarters thriving then if
fed well on Winter fodder, it will keep
thriving. Otherwise it stunts, and ii
takes extra food to start it again; and
perhaps loses half a seasons growth, just
for the want of little pains taking at the
proper time.
Now is'a capital time to domesticate
the young things. if they have boen any
way shy before. Garry them good little
odds and ends Of your garden stuff, veg
atabIe tops-such as beets, carrots, tur-
nips, parsnips, cabbage leaves and pun

The Process of Making Good
WSMGfRF.

Butter.
The first great essential in butter max
ing is cleanliness. The milk house,
epring house, vault whatever the place in
u Ehich milk is kept, should be clean and
,weet in every particular. The walls
should be whitewashed at least every
three or four weeks, and the arrangements
for ventilation should be such as Will
give, whenever desired, full ingrcss to
fresh air. Pure, sweet air is absolutely
necessary to the making of pure, sweet
butter. The milk vessels must also be
kept perfectly clean. This can be done
only by regular and frequent washing,
rinslng, scalding and securing.
Skimming of the cream is the next
point of importance. 1t should be done
with great care, taEing as little of the
milk with it as possible. The purer the
cream, the better The butter will be, and
the easier the churniug. The cream
should be churned, at the fartbest, at
thirty six hours from the time it is drawn
from the cow If left longer time, the
cream assumes a strong taste. which
spoiIs the flavor of the butter. Besides
that it is more difficult to churn.
The temperature of the cream is also
very important, and should receive the
dairy woman's closest attention, if she
wishes to save herself large quantity of
time and labor. From 80 to 60 is about
the proper temperature. If below this,
the buttery PARTICLES do not seperate
readily, aud if above it, the color, flavor
and consistency Of the butter are all in,
jured
When the butter begins to form, lit
lie cold water should be poured into The
churn, and the dasherS moved slowly
back and forth, in order to prevent the
butter from closing too rapidly, while at
the sane time it gives every particle Of
cream a chaDce to furnish Its quota of
butter.
Where, in the winter season, but few
COWS are kept, and it is not convenient to
have the mikroom slightly warmed, as is
usually done in large 1airies, it is advisa-
lie to place the cream by the stove keep
ing il well stirred, so that the tempera-
ture may be about the same throughout
the entire quantity. A thermometer
should be regarded as an indispensable
appendage to every dairy. Where a
therm ometer is not convenient, the proper
temperature of the cream may be pretty
closely determined BY testing it with the
fuger. 1t should feel not quite so warm
as new milk.
Upon the praper working Of butter de-
pends much of its superiority. Machines
for the purpose nave been invented /; but
where the quantity to be worked is not
large, the butter spoon ladIe will answer
every purpose. So as a drop of milk,
however minute. oozes from the mass
when cut down with the spoon, SO long
should the working be continued
There is no fixed rule for sailing but
ter, some prclerring more aud some less
salt. An ounce of salt to the pound is
the quantity generally used After the
salt has been worked in, the butter should
be allowed to stand 24 hours, and then
be worked, ltis not only rendered more
solid and compact, but the salt is more
thoroughly incorporated, the streaks are
avoided, aud the butter will keep sweet a
longer time.

In eases of General Debility, whether the
