KEEPING PorAroEs IN WNrER.-PotatOes
spoil in winter, II buried, from three cause.
FIRST and greatest, want Of ventilation.
Secondly, and nearly allied, daInpneSS.
Thirdly, and more raIe, freezing. Farmers
find mIst Of their P"tat''es spOiled at the
toP ri the heap, where they suppose they
become fnzen; but this is not the usual
cause; the damp, f'ul sieaming air ascendrd
there and could not escape, and this spoiled
them. A hnle made in the top, with u
crOwhar, and closed with . wisp of straw,
would have allowed egress to the confined
air, and saved the pOtatOes. The best way
to secure potatoes out oi duors, Is to make
large heaps, say fifty or sixty bushels; see
that they are dry and clean, by digging be.
fore wet weather cOmes on; cDver them all
over with one fmt Of packed straw, and
thVee inches nf earth. The straw will pre-.
vent dampRsSs, and thu few inches of earth
will favor ventilation. A farmer WIN raises
many putatues, and practices this mode,
does ma loss peck, on an average, In fifty
bushels. ayr.-s ..,, -, u. :, .,-..,,

The Battle at Cumberland Gap.

AS might have been expected, from
their known penchant for lying, the
rebel account of the Federal defeat al
Cumberland Gap, and the cutting to
pieces of Gen. Carriers and Col. Boyd's
forces are utterly false. Capt. ]. H.
Ferry, Division Quartermaster, arrived
at Louisville on the 10th, from Cum
-berland Gap, which he left on the 18th
lie reports that DeCourcy's brigade
was attacked by Stevenson's rebe
division OH the 9th at Tazewell, and
Cochran's l4th Kentucky whipped -four
rebel regiments. Cochran held his fire
until they were within one hundred and
fifty yards, and checked their advance

Colonel, whom we exchanged for the

There has been no fight at Big Creel

false.

The new law authorizing the Presf.
dent to call out the militia contains the
following sections:
Sec. 4. Ind be 1t further enactd, That
for the purpose of filing up the regi-
ments of infantry now in the United
States service the President be, and he
hereby is, authorized to accept the SER
vices of volunteers in such numbers as
may be presented for that purpose, for
faoelce months, if not sooner discharged.
And such volunteers, when mustered
into the service; shall be in all respects
upon a footing with similar troops in
the United States service, except as tn
service bounty, which shall be $50, one
half of which to be paid upon their
joining their regiments, and the other
half at the expiration of their enlist
ment.
From this it will be seen that where
man enlists in an old regiment, he
has only to serve for one year, and
is paid therefor a bounty of fifty
jollars-half. of it in cash upon joining,
and the other at the expiration of his
enlistment. The old regiments requires
on an average at least 400 men to fill
them up to the maximum standard.

Senator ChandIer's Speech.

We commence to-day the publication
of the great speech Of Senator Chand-
Ter, which is now part of the history
of the war for the suppression of the
rebellion. It has already become SO
much a matter of public interest and
discussion, that we need no apology for
giving it all of our available space 1t
seems to have had one happy effect al.
ready. Tne torrent of abuse against
the President and Secretary Stanton
for not reinforcing Gen. Mcclellan has
suddenly dried up. Indeed, since this
bombshell fell into the ranks of the do
nestle traitors, we have not heard n
whisper about Stanton, but they do
yelp at the heels of Chandler in full
chorus, which only conviices the loyal
people that Senator Chandler has been
doing his duty-that he has discharged
broadside of grape, canister and chain
shot into the very camp of Northern
"Secessia."
By this speech the country will see
that the government neglects nothing
in its power to care for the brave arm,
when in peril. 1t has explained man,
things which heretofore seemed strangt
and about which the people dared moi
ask for explanation for fear the blam,
would lie at the door of the govern
ment. But Mr.. Chandler has clearl;
shown that the blame for the failure O
our army does not rest with the gov
ernment and, in consequence, these
treason-sympathisers have quit thei
gable against Stanton and the Presi
dent, and turned it upon Chandler.
Their venom only proves they were
hit in a tender spot. Let them howl
Senator Chandler needs 10 vindicatiol
for this speech. The people sa,
"amen, it's just what we have wante,
to know for long time" The peopl
are with him. He has spiked the Sc
cesh guns upon the administration an,
turned them on himself, but 9heir shell
are filled with sand.

TetTherc he NO More Delays.

The Republic will demand that her
immense armies he at once led into
battle by fighting Generals. The ex-
pense of keeping million OF armed
men in the field for any great length OF
time would ruin any nation on the
earth. There will be no excuse that the
roads are muddy and impossible, for
the army will be in the field long before
the fall rains set in, and this rebellion
must be pretty well crushed out before
that time. The country is now furn-
ished ample means to strangle the
monstrosity at blow, and all expect
that it will he done.
The people demand the most ener-
getic action on the part ofevery officer
and man, from the President down, and
they must not be disappointed. They
are enlisting to fight, and for no other
purpose, and the soldiers demand ia
he led into action at once.
The expense of keeping one million
of troops i'm the field will be some five
millions a month. The necessity OF
getting the army now being raised into
the field as early as possible is apparent
and il is equally important that they
should make the campaign short one
Arms, ammunition, and clothing should
be furnished as rapidly as possible, sc
that as soon as regiment can be got
ready it should be sent forward. There
should not be and probably will not be
any delay. Time is precious.
