Major Emory.

Among the later designations in the
army is that of Lieutenant Colonel
DIETER known as Major Emory. The
Major is a native of Maryland, and
some time since, before proceeding to
duty at q Western post, left his resig-
nation in the hands Of his brother-in-
law, to be sent in whenever Maryland
should secedc. Ten days ago, when
Baltimore flew to arms in consequence
of the passage of Massachusetts troops,
and it seemed certain that Maryland
would sccede rs soon as her Legisla-
turc met, Emory's resignation was
promptly filed. Since then Maryland
has recovered from her madness, and

q protracted debate in this Convention it
was resolved:
THAT we respectfully recommend to the

may be necessary to authorize the Coafede-
rate Courts to enquire into the bona fde Of

A Macon, Ga, correspondent of the S. G.
Advocate, in noticing this action, SAYS:
"Unless there is an important modifca-
ton Of the Sequestration Act, great distress
and ruin will be brought on thousands of
our people. There is little doubt, however,
but that the Government at Richmond will
look carefully into the Act, and make such

Preservation of Meat by Freezing.


Everybody knows, or ought to know,
that meat will keep perfectly sweet, SO
long as it remains frozen.- Witness, for
example, the moth which was found
some years ago in the north Of Siberia,
preserved by the eternal frosts Of the
arctic circle, from the time it was en-
closed in the ice, after the deluge-a
whole carcass covered with skin and
flesh; some of which was cooked and
eaten by the enterprising discoverer, and
found to be palatable. But rybody
does not know that their meat will be
tender or tough, according to the method
Of thawing it.
If frozen meat is brought into warm
room, and thawed by heat-if you have
not good teeth, and the digestive pow
ers Of an ostrich, you had best leave that
part of the dinner for those who have
Therefore, bring from the larder, the
night before it is wanted, the meat or
poultry intended for dinner, and plunge
it into cold water. The next morning,
thick coating of ice will be found en-
crusting the whole piece. Take it off,
and change the water, anS let it remain
until the hour for dressing it. If to be
boiled, put it over the fire in cold water
If for a roast, put it not before too
brisk fire, as there is always danger
that the heart of large piece may not
be completely thawed, in which case it
will be spoiled.
Vegetables should be thawed in the
same way, and, with few exceptions, they
will be better for having been frozen.
Potatoes, however, acquire disagreea-
BILE sweetness.
