MEN IN BUcKRAM.-We copied, few days
ago, q letter from Charleston, Is. C,) stating
that the rebel forces actually concentrated in
the vicinity of Fort Pckens amounted to eight
thousand men. 1t is now stated in the Colum.
bus (Gs.) Times, which is a little nearer to
Fort Pickens, not that there are now concen.
trated there, either eight thousand men, or any
other number, but that President Davis intends
to "order out" five thousand men to capture Fort
Pickens, of whom, Georgia is to furnish two
thousand. The intelligent reader will under.
stand, that both the eight thousand men re.
ported by the Charleston letter as actually ex.
isting, and the FIVE thousand threatened by
the Georgia Times, are all dressed in buckram
from top to toe.

bY- The Baltimore American of yesterday
says:
"Over one hundred recruits for the regular
army of the Confederate States left here in the
Norfolk boat yesterday, en- route for Charleston,
South Carolina. Some few of the party are
young men of respectable connections, who
have been bitten by desire for military glory,
but the majority of the detachment is made up
Of the worst class OF our population. If the
Coniederacy can put them to any serviceable
purpose, it will achieve what society has failed
TO accomplish here"

No POPULAR VoTE.-In the Georgia State
Convention last Saturday, the Constitution ofthe
Confederate States, as prepared at Montgom
cry, was ratified in secret session, and, as is
reported, by unanimous vote. 1t is evident
that there is to be no submission of this Con-
stitution to the people in any of the seeded
States, and that they are to be invited to the
entertainment of living under form of gov
ernment, in devising which, they have had no
hand. These State Conventions, to say moth
ing of the extreme hurry with which they were
elected, were only elected with view to the
question of secession, and have no authority to
act upon the question of Federal organization.
These proceedings are susceptible Of but one in
ference, which is, that the conspirators are
aware that the people are against them, and
mean to give them no chance of reversing the
hasty and tumultuous decision into which they
were entrapped, in the first flush of passion
following the Presidential election. The con-
spirators have precipitated" revolution, and
they mean now to hold their vantage ground
by usurpstion.

DklJ" A recent number Of the Kichmond
Wing, has the following paragraph:
ave understand that Myers W. Fisher Esq,
secession member OF the Convention, from
Northampton, deliberately proposed to the
members from the West, on yesterday, that the
secession members of the East would yield
what the West demanded, in regard to taxation
Of slaves, prOUi,led the Western members would
vote for an ordinance Of secession. This prop.
osition must strike every mind as most re-
markable and extraordinary one. 1t will es.
pecially cause the shareholders of the East to
wonder and marvel not little. Besides, it is
confession of weakness and defeat on the part
of the secessionists themselves"

A SIX YEARS PREsIDENCY.-The idea Of q
six years Presidency is peculiarly grateful to
shallow people, who see in it a relief from dis
tracing contests. 1t probably never occurred
to them, that the ferceness Of the strife for the
supreme power is proportional to the length of
the term, and that two Presidential elections in
twelve years, might even occasion more COM
motion than three. And the recent experience
Of the reluctance of defeated party to endure
loss of the Presidency for four years, may
well excite doubts of the expediency of extend,
ing the term to six years.
The remark of the man, who had his hair
combed for the first time for year, that the
sufsrings of those who combed their hair every
day must be intolerabe, involves the precise
philosophy of those who seek to diminish the
excitement of Presidential elections, by dimin
ishing their frequency.

The Art of Butter Making.

N. Winslow, in the Maine Farmer, says tina
the farmer should ascertain the character O
his cows milk separately, fattening for bee
those whose milk does not yield good yellow
butter. Then bis frkins should be made Of
sweet wood, ash, maple, oak or spruce, and
thoroughly saturated with strong pickle; worl
out all the buttermilk with wooden ladle; then
take for seasoning one pound of good salt, one
half pound pure white sugar, and two ounces
saltpetre; mix thoroughly together, and use one
ounce Of this preparation for every pound oil
butter. The above quantity is sufficient for
twenty six pounds of butter. The butter should
be put into the frkin solid, beating it down
smooth with a wooden pestle; cover It with a
linen cloth, saturating the cloth with sweet hot
tallow or beeswax, taking care to wiring out all
the tallow or beeswax you can after dipping the
cloth. This cover will exclude the air. No
salt should be put between the layers; simply
stamp down each layer with the pestle, and COW
er with the cloth until the next layer is ready.
Butter packed in this manner will neither grow
soft in warm weather, nor crnmble in cold
weather, and is better one year old than when
first made. It will sell for from five to six cents
per pound more than common butter.-Rsral

Best Depth for Setting Milk.

Best Depth for Setting Milk.
A correspondent of the Homestead relates
the following experiments:
ION the 9Th of April We set two pals of milk
weighing forty-seven pounds ten ounces, in two
pals ten inches Deep"
"The next day We set the same quantity oil
milk from the same cows two inches deep in the
pans. These were placed on the same shell
with the nrst, and of course in the same tenn
perature, which was near 60 deg. In four days
the first milk was sour and skinned, yielded
three pounds two ounces of cream, which being
allowed TO stand one day, made one pound eight
ounces of butter; the other milk, standing the
same length Of time, yielded four pounds eight
ounces of cream. making two pounds one ounce
of butter-a difference of nine ounces in favor
of setting the milk shallow. This ID o gain Of
thirty-seven and one-half per cent over the depth
of ten inches"

To Dress Cucumbers.

Take three good sized cucumbes, pare them,
put them in cool water for an hour, take them
out and cut them in the usual way; sprinkle
salt upon them, and let them be 90 until an
hour before dinner; drain of the salt liquor; put
them into vegetable dish. Take pint of
sour cream. (not too old,) good tablespoonful
of cider vinegar, piece of butter the size of .
hickory nut, put it on the FIRE, and let it come
to boil; pour it over the cucumbers while hot;
set them BY in cool place until dinner. We
think this is the only way to eat them. Try it.

Tomatoes.

This delicious and wholesome vegetable is
too frequently spoiled BY the manner in which
it is prepared for the table, - many housekeep-
ers do not seem to understand the proper man
ner Of having them prepared and cooked. The
chief error is not having them cooked enough.
We often meet with them upon the table after
being barely scalded, and served up only sour,
sickening broth.
To prepare tomatoes properly they require to
be cooked two or three hours or more, and IN
til the juice is evaporated SO that the Pulp be-
come mass of equal conscience. Some per
sons consider it an Improvement to sepcrate
the seeds at the time of peeling them; the
seeds may be strained out and the juice return
ed to the fruit and all boiled down together,
which probably adds somewhat to the richness
of the dish, though it adds considerably to the
time necessary to cook them. When tomatoes
arc scarce, the addition Of some broken bread
or crakers not only increases the quantity but
improves the quality.
In preparing tomatoes to pot mp Tor winter use
it is better TO boil them down well nearly ct for
the table before they are put into the jars, as
less number will serve for q given quantity.
If properly prepared and securely put up 90 as
to entirely exclude the air, they suffer nothing
in quality by age, and form an excellent asd an
economical dish throughout the Winter and
Spring. Stone jugs, if we'll glazed, are very
handy vessels to keep them in, or the COM
mon cheap glass jars, costing but seventy five
cents per dozen, and holding quart each, We
prefer to anything else. No corks are needed,
but stout cotton cloth well waxed where il
comes in contact with the glass, and then thor
oughly covered on the outside with wax, has
never failed with US to keep them we'll.

What is an Ambulance.

An Ambulance is light carriage, the body
being mounted upon two wheels, and supported
BY very light elastic springs. 1t is little over
six feet in length. There are cots for two in
side, with beds, head pillows, &c. The top
is covered with black oil cloth, but the body and
running gear are painted red. The Ambulance
is intended for one horse. with . seat for the
driver in front, and being very light, though
strongly built, can be driven along rapidly, with.
out injury to the wounded.

At Christ Church Sabbath School, an anus.
ing incident occurred, Sunday afternoon. Dr.
Goddard was discoursing to the children on the
beauty of love as developed in the christian
whose leader was Christ, whom he asked: "Who
are our enemies? Who are our enemies7''
A little lad, who doubtless supposed the Doctor
asked the question to have it answered, spoke
out, in manly voice: The secessiouers!'
The effect was electric. The whole room was
pleasantly convulsed, and the Doctor had to
hold his sides.

Wheat-SOil and Situation.


A very important question that the farmers
should do something toward settling, is, "Whai
location and quality of soil is best adapted to
the growth Of the wheat cropT We have in
this State at least two kinds of soil, as distinct
in tine predominant elements which enter into
their composition, as they are distinct in the
character oftheir surface presentments--the deep
and heavy soil of the bottoms-composedm main
ly of vegetable matter, and the thinner ano
lighter soils of the uplands, largely intermin.
gled with mineral matter. Then we recognize
quite difference from either, in the soil of the
inclined and rolling lands which lie between the
bottoms and most elevated plateaux.
We have believed that these several qualities
of soil would be found adapted to the several
varieties of grain and vegetable productions, as
well as to the several kinds of fruit. That is
to say, to the grains as they differ in the require
ments.as to the kind Of both soil and location:
ditto to all cultivated vegetables of dissimilar
habits.
Looking at the situation and composition of
the soil. and reasoning from our experience and
observation, we had concluded that the middle
lands would be the best for wheat. The topo-
graphy is very similar to that of all our best
wheat growing regions, and the soil of deci-
ding with the accuracy of a chemical test, we
should say is the same in its constituents.
But against all this the burthen of the test.
mony which we are getting from the farmers
this year initiates. So far, the deep. heavy
yields Of wheat. How is it, farmers on the up
land7 Let us hear from you it certainly is a
matter, as we first remarked, of very great i'm
portance to decide-where the crop will succeed
the best.-Sfoek Journal.
