ity of the commander. On the terrible
goth Of July, when his Aies sank under
the heat and excitement Of the task they
were accomplishing, I saw him, writes
the Prince, =" stop to rest for a moment
end sit down in the verandah of country
house on the road. The mistress of the
house came up and complained that the
soldiers were eating her cherries. With a
smile the General rose himself and went
out TO stop the pillagers."
For the last effort at Malvern Hill Gen.
eral McClellan's preparations eeceived the
highest praise. This battle, says the
Prince, wars "for the Confederates use
less butchery. The Federals success was
due to two causes: first, to the fortunate
foresight Of the General, who, in spite of
numerous natural obstacles TO the passage
of artillery, had spared nothing to bring
his on, and next to the firmness OF his
troops. Men do not make such a cam
pa;gn. and 60 through such experience as
they had endured, without coming out
more or less formep to war. If their
primitive organization had been better,
the survivors of this rude crmpaign, do
not fear to assert, might be regarded as
the equals Of the best soldiers in the
world
1t is for achieying this result with the
troops confded TO his care, we presume,
that the General whose persistent effort.
to do his duty 10 his country, though all
the intrgues and against all the obstacles
upon which the Prince de Joinviiles calm
and impartial statement throws so cler and
convincing 8 light, has been ordered to
reienqui.h the command Of the one army
which stands to day between the ambition
of jefferson Davis and the life of the ma
tional government. The Prince de j, in
Vile winds up his sketch of the compaign
with few pages of well considered and
sensible comments upon the political as
poets of the struggle in which he has taken
so frank part. That his sympathies are
wholly with the North and the Union is
plain. and these sympathies must have
grown up, we beg the critics of LcCirllan
to observe, in his daily intercourse with
that General
lie thinks the failure before Richmond
must greatly prolong the strife, and that
a proclamation Of emancipation would be
more likely 10 divide the North than to
appeal or pursuade the South The re-
Cancellation which f.e believes might have
followed the fall of Richmond he now
regards as very difficult
But, he concludes ! am net one OF
those, however, who will thence infer that
the Federal cause is lost Compared to
those Of the South, the resources Of the
North are far from being exhausted; and
who knows all that in 4 day OF peril can
be done 5y the energy OF free people.

WINTER CARE or FRrIT.-The editor OF
the Gndere's Jioafhy says, whenever q
quantity of fruit is piled up in \ heap, it
begins what is called in common language
q" to sweat" This sweating brings an oily
substance 10 the outside. Sweating will
also occur without the fruit being piled up
rs spoken Of, but it is more slow ard if
it be thinly on a shelf, it is in l;s most
legitimate way. Thus sweating coats the
skin with a sort of varnish, which resists
the action of the atmosphere and certainly
promotes the keeping qualities OF the
fruit This varnish ought not to be re-
moved by any means, handling being one
of the certain ways of doing so. Let the
fruit, therefore, be placed at first simply
on the shelves. and little else will be
wanted but looking over them and picking
out decaved ones, and the place being
kent cool and well ventilated, there is a
,olerabie certainty of their keeping well,
other things also being favorable.

: SINGULAR lNcIDEST.--i correspondent
of the Cincinnati Times, writing flom Bow
ling Green, says:
A singular incident occurred on the
railroad cars during the passage to this
place a day or two since A lady and gen.
tleman, strangers to each other. occupying
the same seat, soon got into lively chat
with each other The gentleman being
habited in military uniform, their conver-
sation quite naturally led to the war and
military matters in general. Daring the
conversation, the lady remarked, What
a horrid thing the killing OF Gen. Nelson
was l do not think so, remarked the
gentleman. oh, do says the lady. 1t
was hosrid ho.rid horrid l cannot
view it in that light replied the gentle
man. i had hand in it myself" The
gentleman proved to be Jefferson C. Davis
himself. 1t would readily be supposed
that from this surprise the conversation
soon turned upon other subjects.
