How TO HAVE COOP CIDER.-Prof. Hors-
ford, or Harvard University, has recently
published a recipe for improving and preserv-
ing cider, by means of which the progress of
the vinons and acetic lamentations may be
arrested at pleasure, and the cider preserved
in Just such state as may be desired. A
correspondent of the Boston Journal says:
Put the cider in clean casks or barrels and
allow it to ferment from one to three weeks,
according as the weather is cool or warm
When it has attained to lively fermentation,
add to each gallon three-fourths of Il pound
of white sugar, and let the whole ferment
again until it possesses nearly the brisk pleas
ent taste which it is desirable should be per-
manent. Pour out quart of the cider and
mix with it one-quarter of an ounce of sui
phite of lime for every gallon the cask con-
tains. Stir until it is intimately mixed, and
pour the emulsion into the liquid. AgItate
the contents of the cask thoroughly for few
minutes, then let it rest that the cider may
settle. Fermentation will be arrested at
once. and will not be resumed. 1t may be
bottled in the course of a few weeks, or 1T
NAV be allowed to remain in the cask and
used on draught. If bottled it will become
a sparkling cider, better than what is called
champagne wine.
Prot. Horsford, of Cambridge, was the first
to use the sulphite of lime for this purpose,
and to him is due the credit OF first calling
attention to its usefulness. 1t Is In no re-
speet deleterious, as the sulphite, into which
the sulphate is changed by the liberation of
suIphureus acid, is entirely insoluble. and re-
mEins at the bottom of the vessel.
The writer has cider prepared in this way
two years since, which has remained an
changed, and is now beverage of unsur-
passed excellence. The sulphits OF lime, not
the sulpAms must be used.

BARGAIN AND SALE IN NEW YoRK--SHAME-
LESS CONFESSIONS OF Political INTRIGUE
The New York Herald has some strange and
| singular confessions of the political intrigue
| of those noted spoiismen, Thurlow Weed and
Horace Greeley. "When rogues fall out. -
&C.. &c. The Herald says:
The most singular political confessions
| perhaps ever made, are those of Thurlow
Weed and Horace Greeley, Just made by
those politicians in their own journals. The
one has been engaged for some forty years
and the other twenty in the dirty work of
party corruption. and both confess they have
had large share in it, though We cannot
expect them 10 tell us all the truth Weed
has been in league with the Albany Regency
In the railroad operations, both in the State
and the city of New York. The Third Ave
nue. Railroad stock is particularly referred
to by Greeley, the richest of those places
IN which Weed has mined, and Weed re-
spends by admitting the fact and giving
Greeley "a Roland for an Oliver" "ObnOx-
iOus," he says, ''as the admission is to just
sense of right and to better condition of
political ethics, we stand so far impeached.
We would have preferred not to disclose to
public view the financial history of political
life, nor should the Tribune have constrained
such disclosures. Public men know much
of what the rest of mankind are ignorant.
If we have sinned in this way, Mr.. Greeley
ought not to ''cast the first stone" He has
not always been fastidious in the use of
money at elections or in legislation. He
knows how much it cost, and out of whose
pockets the money came, to elect speaker
in Congress. He knows how he expected to
be reimbursed; he knows for what purpose a
thousand dollar check was handed to him."
Thus does the pot call the kettle black,
and the kettle returns the compliment, and
both acknowledge the soft Impeachment.
Quoth Weed:
Painful as the confession is, we are bound,
in truth and from knowledge, to say that
James Buchanan was elected President. and
this great and then happy and glorious Re-
public ruined, simply because Messrs. Wen
dell, Forney and Belmont raised $4,000
more money, to be expended in Pennsylva-
MA than William A. Hall, Truman Smith
aud the writer of this article could procure
for the same object.
This is making clean breast with ven
geance. Weed and Greeley, it seems, were
exceled by Forney in 1856, and they conse-
quently lost the election of President; but,
to compensate for that defeat, they carried,
by dint of money, the election of Speaker
in Congress. Such are the shameless confess
sions made by these politicians in their GRIM
nations and recriminations. They are highly
edifying, and illustrate the proverb that
when rogues fall out the public gain by the
quarrel.
There is moral in these revelations for
the study of every honest man; and we all
ought to ask ourselves, how can we expect
that the the country should be in any other
condition than the deplorable state in which
we now find it, when men who stOop to
such rascality, and blush not to confess it,
have been permitted so long to control the
political destinies of the nation?

From the Richmond Enquire
SuhiuOatiON =Where1

If Lincoln and his supporters really sup
pose that the Southern people will ever pass
under the yoke of bis despotism, they are
criminally blind. not only to the dictates of
reason and the teachings Of history, but to
current events and facts, as obvious as the
sun in the heavens. But we believe they
now expect no such thing. The purpose and
temper of the Southern people, their spirit.
their strength and their proves, have been
evidenced on the battle field, and displayed
before the world, until Europe has learned
the lesson to which Lincoln labors to be
blind, but which he is constrained to under
stand.
The Southern people have, indeed, never
tolerated the bare idea of being conquered
and bound as the prey of Northern avarice
and tyranny. Men, women and children have
vowed the irrevocable VOW, end would die
before they would yield.
EWhen Kossuth sought refuge in the Turk
ish dominions from the blood-hounds of ty-
rannical power, the Turks proposed to him
protection on condition that he would en-
brace the Mahommedan religion. The noble
Magyar rising to the full dignity of his pro-
portions at once answered: II decline; be-
tween death and dishonor the choice is neith-
er dubious nor difficult" So answer now the
united Southern people to the proffers and
the threats of the boosted eighteen millions
of John Hickman.
Lincoln and Seward cannot now fail to see
that re union is impossible. The idea on
which they commenced the war is forever
dissipated. They press on in their mad work
because they do not know how to stop. We
do not believe that they have now very
definite understanding of their own move
ments. They are drifting or driving, they
know not whittier. They have missed the
port for which they set sail, and are now on
the unknown ocean. Bv what poiicv will
they steer? Their despotic courses conclu-
sively show that our old Government was in
compatible with their notions of power. Con-
stitutions and laws, judges and law makers,
are Knocked and set at naught by their men
OF war.

that foreign Intervention is prayed for by the
whole population, with sthe exception of the
military or political robbers by whom the
existing anarchy has been created. Under
the circumstances, too, it is to be assumed
that the Federal Cabinet at Washington will
be disposed cordially to Cooperate in the
work, so that it shall permanently conciliate
all rational claims. Whether the question is
to be dealt with by the general combination
winch seems thus in prospect, or by France
and England alone, it is evident that the pos
sipI i OF further delay is at an end.
The London Shipping Gazate. of September
IL, referring to combined French and En-
gilsh expedition to the coast of Mexico, says
II is surmised, in some quarters, that the OBJ
lect OF the two Powers is to have strong
force in the Mexican waters, and thus to take
advantage OF any contingency which might
arise during the pending conflict between the
Northern and Southern States (of the United
States.)

Gov. MOORE, of Alabama, has issued the
following proclamation:
PROCLAMATION
BY the Governor.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,


Montgomery, Ala, Oct. 2, 1861.
l have credible information that sundry
persons, in the cities of Mobile and Mont
gomery. and other parts of the State, are buy
ing up the limited supply OF the articles which
are indispensable for the subsistence, cloth
ing and maintenance of our soldiers and peo-
pie, for the purpose of monOpolizing the trade
in such articles, and realizing large and IN
reasonable profits. | deem it my duty TO
protest, in this public manner, against such
conduct, and pronounce it unpatriotic and
wicked; and hereby notify all persons au-
thOrized to make purchases for the State OF
Alabama, not, under any circumstances to
buy at the unreasonable prices which may be
exacted by such person.
Those who would take advantage of the
necessities of the country and its army, to
enrich themselves by such means, cannot be
regarded as its friends, and will meet with
merited retribution in due season. have no
condemnation or rebuke for merchants who
are engaged in legitimate trade, and only ex-
act just and reasonable profits. They snb-
serve a purpose of unquestiOnable usefulness,
by procuring and supplying the things which
the people and the Government need ; and
they manifest alike their patriotism and in
tegrity by continuing to pursue course of
legitimate trade, uninfuenced by the oppOr-
tunities for monopoly and extortioq. 1t is
due to the community which has patronized
such merchants, as well as to the country,
that they should sell their merchandise only
to persons needing them for consumption,
and in such quantities as may be needed for
that purpose; thus contributing to defeat the
designs of the harpies. who would speculate
upon the necessities of the times.

News from the Border.

We are Informed by gentleman directly
from Overton county, who reached this city
Yesterday. that a deplorable state of affairs
exist on our border in that region. Since
the little affair at Albany, in which a compa-
ny of Confederates dispersed the Lineolnites
and seized some guns, they have been con-
centrating their forces at that point and now
have 1900 men at that place. They have
been sending out scouts into Tennessee and
committing depredations upon the people
Last Sunday squad entered Fentress coun-
ty, killed peaceable citizen, and afterwards
robbed the corpse of a cravat, shirt-buttons'
few pieces of silver, &c. They also appre-
hended another, who seeing they were ioi
plumber, threw OFF his coat and told them 10
search him and take all he had. They did
So and then turned him loose He, however,
had six hundred dollars in his coat pocket
which they failed to get. for the reason 'na'
he had pulled off his coat and threw 1t down
before the search was commenced lhere L.
in consequence of these and ike depredatlohs'
great excitement, indignation and alarm
amongst the people. There IL an ehcahp
ment Of Confederate soldiers IN O'ef'on
county. but they have not the strength 10
meet and drive the LincOlnites away.
Our informant, who was the late Repre-
sentative from Overton, in the State Leglsia-
ture, also informs US that the ayowed OBJECT
of the Federal force at Albany, is to march
through that portion of our State, and take
possession of the Railroad leading to VIZ
ginia, and thus cut off the communication
This they will not be able to accomplish; out
It is a matter that deserves our attention.
The latest advices from Albany state that
they were fortifying the place by entrench-
ing, telling trees with the tops southwaBd, and
forming stOckades.
From another gentleman, also late rep
resentative in the State Legislature, from
jackson county, we learn that the enemy are
collecting a force in Monroe county, Ky
have gone into camp on Spring Creek, and
already have 700 men under arms. They
have not commenced their depredations; but
the people of Jackson constantly expect raids
similar to those being perpetrated in Over
ton and Fentress. The late Union men IN
that region, We are glad to say, have deter
mined TO acguiesce in the action of the State,
and all those who will take up arms in behalf
Of the babboon despotism at Washington,
have left the State already They will get
no more recruits from those counties.
While giving publicity to these facts we
desire to call the attention of The Confederate
authorities to them, and to suggest that they
should be looked after. The assemblage of
so large q force so near our border is not
without significance

The New YORK HERALD ON THE LONDON
TINES CONSEQUENTLY New York Her
aid does not hold Mr. Russell in very high
esteem since his graphic account of the rout
of the Yankee army at Manassas. 1t says
There has been a great deal too much fuss
made about this fellow Russell. He is merely
literary loafer, paid so much by the column
for his trash, like any other London penny
liner. He made reputation by his letters
from the Crimea, because there was no one
to cIiticise their accuracy. The Russians
never saw them. aud, if they had, would not
have troubled their heads about them. His
India letters were received as gospel nara
tiges for similar reason. The Hindoos, a
few educated persons excepted, do not speak
or read English, and were utterly unconscious
of the existence of such-a persnr- - ~ IS
SELL O"~- - out here. however. ne
found himself rather differently situated. He
could not write one sided history of the
campaign, as he did abroad. In the South
as well as in the North, he found press as
intelligent, as enterprising and as well posted
as any of which he had had eXperince. He
could neither lie nor pervert facts without an
immediate refutation of his misrepreSenta-
tions and calumnies finding their way back
to England.
The consequence has been that his whole
course here has been one of the most incon-
sistent and laundering that has been pursued
by any Englishman who has attempted to
write about America. The total absence of
fairness and honesty exhibited in his letters
has rendered his name by-word of contempt,
even among hts own cOuntrymen. The de-
fence that he has attempted to set up, that it
is our sensitiveness to criticism, and not his
want ;of impartiality, that is at fault, is dis
posed of by the manner in which we have
received Prince Napoleon's letters. They do
not spare US where We are open to censure.
but they deal fairly with US where we are en-
titled to it. While, therefore, their judgments
are narrowly canvassed, no one doubts for
moment their sincerity aud candour. The
course of the Times correspondent has been
directly the reverse of this, not only in res
pect to the Government, but individuals. 1t
is to his obnoxiousness to those whom he has
slandered, personally, that he now probably
owes the necessity of his MAKING himself
scarce at Washington.
In reply to a memorial addressed to him on
the subject, Secretary Seward has devoted
longer and more carefully written letter to
the vagaries of Russell, of the London Times,
portant and gratifying communication of the
Emperor of Russia. The public will fail to
recognize the correctness of the Secretary's
estimate of the relative Importance of these
two potentates, the more particularly as the
former, apprehensive OF consequences other
than those resulting from the interference of
the Government, has taken himself off TO
Canada on a pretended sporting excursion,
and will probably not make his appearance
in Washington again.

Especial Dispatch for the Knoxville Registerl
LYNCHBURG, Oct g.
Intelligence to Saturday last from Big Sc

tack on orr forces bad been made by the en-
etny since Tuesday week last, when they
were repulsed. Heavy skirmishes occurred
however, on Wednesday and Thursday, re-
sulting in some loss to the enemy.
General Loring joined Gen. Lee on Friday
last, with 5000 men; and the latter's COM

fighting men.
1t is understood that General Lee intends
making an attack Immediately on Rosecranz,
and no doubt is entertained of his being able
to defeat him, and drive him out of the coun-
try.
The Richmond papers to day contain a re-
port of the defeat of Rosecranz on Friday
last and that the whole Northern army was
retreating from Northwestern Virginia; but
the above Intelligence, which was later, shows
the report to be unf0unded.
