ton.
After dev0tibg some space to affairs of
local interest, he refers to the report of Sec.
rotary Chase, and dissents from his plan of
national currency as liable to many oDee-
tons and impracticable as measure OF re-
lief to the Government. He likewise o.
jects to the income tax imposed by Con.
gress as making an unwise discrimination
between people who are willing to cOntribs
ute for the support of the Government in
proportion to their means, and also dis
criminatory between United States and
State securities.
Referring to military affairs he states
that on the first call of the President % 600
volunteers, and the number now in three
years service is " ,844 of which As, 1856 are
in active service outside of the State. This
does not include citizens of Ohio who have
entered military organizations of other
States, because of want of authority to re-.
ceive them in Ohio, contingent the number
of which estimated 10000. The total
amount expended for war purposes to JAN
uary Let 1862, including unpaid liabilities
is $2.339,45l. Whole amount refunded by
the United States to Ohio is SLOT, 900.
The Governor thinks the ultimate effects Of
the war will be the extinction of slavery,
but deprecates immediate emancipation. 4.

health.
A YOUNG LADY REVEALS ARMY Sc
CRETS TO HER REBEL LOVER.
In connection with rumors representing
leakage of news from Washington to the
rebels, it is said the daughter of high
official is one Of the guilty parties.
1t is now understood from the movements
of the rebels, they were aware of the desti.
nation of Burnside's expedition. The story
goes that it was talked of in the family of
the officer alluded to, and this the daughter
communicated to her lover who is with the
rebels. The destination of this expedition
has been changed in consequence. The
young lady left town recently and has not
since returned. Her father, it is UNDER
stood, will shortly leave for Europe for the
benefit of bis health.
THE UPPER POTOMAC.
The Cabinet is in session tonight. 1t

neither have been able to reach the object
aimed at. No later dispatches have been

GENERAL LANES EXPEDITION.
Yesterday telegram relative to the mill

made it appear that General Lane is to hold

case. The expedition is second to none, if
equalled by any, in numbers or character,
and is to be under the sole and exclusive
command of General Lane, who proposes to
demonstrate, with his western crusaders, the
ways and means through which the rebel
lion can be crushed and the republic re.
stored in all it's integrity. TO carry out this
purpose General Lane is supported by the
active energies of the Administration.

would be effective if the whole of Virginia
was not under the heels of 100000 ruffians

bones from the butchers and some
chip manure from the woodshed were
mixed in with the soil; also a barrow
load to each hole of we'll rotted ma

of soapsads and dish water applied
from time to time since, is all the fer

dug and filled, as above described, l
obtained six Isabella grape vines two
years old, and we'll rooted, at a cost
Of 371 cents each. These were care
fully set, spreading the roots. The
first year about six feet of vines were
made. In Autumn | cut them down
to within two feet of the ground
The next Spring single shoot from
the bottom eye of each stalk was
trained up the frame, and grew about
II feet. About four feet Of the tops
were cut off in Autumn, and the re-
naming eight feet simply laid down
upon the ground at the bottom Of the
trells, ont of the way.
In the Spring, when the buds be-
gan to swell, the canes were tied up
on the frame or trellis. All the eyes
sent out one or more side bearing
shsots, but where more than one star
ted from the same eye, it was rubbed
off. The others mostly set fruit, of
which only one cluster nearest the
main stem was allowed to grow on the
same side shoot When the frnit was
about the size of peas, | stopped the
further growth Of the side shoot by
pinching off two leaves beyond the
cluster. The result was, fine large
punches of grapes along the whole Of
the eight feet of the previous years
growth. In the mean time the vines
extended upward over the trellis, and
enough side shoots were allowed to
grow to partly cover the trellis frame.
In November | cut off about two feet
of the ends Of the main stems, and Oi
the leading shoots. The bearing side
shoots were cut back to one bud from
the main stem. The whole vines were
then coiled up and laid down for Win
ter on the ground. In Spring, the
vines were used up, and the same
course pursued with the mainstems
and branches as with the main stem.

Grapes in Cities and villages.

1t is surprising, Mr.. Editor, that so
few farmers raise grapes, even for
home use. The Agriculturist has said
good deal on the subject, but not
enough yet, l find for only last week
some of my friends living on a farm
of one hundred acres were in ecstasies
over nice basket of grapes, receiv-
ed from my three year old vines grow
ing on a city lot of only twenty-five by
seventy five feet, and having only 20
feet square for garden. They had
grown no such luxury, and yet they
subscribe for the Agriculturist The
fact is, they confessed that they had
always skipped over all the grape
articles as something for amateurs or
horticulturists, and not for farmers.
| showed them how easy it is to get
good grapes in abundance, and at lit
tie cost and trouble, and they at once
decided to put out few vines without
delay. They thought l ought to tell
the readers of your paper just what l
told them; so here it is:
Three years ago last Spring, built
at odd hours, a rude framework on
the southwest side of my house which
answered not only as trellis for the
grape vines, but also as a serene to
keen off the sun, on hot afternoons.
Six posts, six feet above the ground,
were set FIVE feet apart, and ten feet
from the house. Strips were nailed
across, and small rafters run from the
tops of the posts slantipg up against
side of the house, with strips across
them also. Such framework, though
convenient, is not necessary, as the
vines may be trained up against the
side of the house, or on fence, or
almost anywhere that anything can be
found for them to run on.
Now for the vines. -Four holes, 3
feet across and three feet deep. were
dug at the outside of the frame, and
one at each corner of the house.
These holes were filed up with good
surface soil obtained from the top soil

Keeping Winter SQuaShes.

First in importance, they should be
we'll ripened before harvesting. This
will occur in the Northern States a.
bout the frst of October. They should
be picked before hard frosts have in
jured the rind; and the gathering done
in the middle of a dry day. For a
month or more after being harvested,
they may be kept in barn or other
ont-building, not laid in large heaps
to accumulate moisture and heat, but
spread on the floor, little straw be-
ing laid under them to prevent bruis-
ing. On cold nights, late in Octo~
Der and during the first of November.
cover them with little straw. When
there is real danger Of freezing, car
ry them into the cellar for winter.
But there is a great difference in
cellars. One that is warm and damp.
is a poor place to preserve any sort OF
fruits or vegetables from decaying.
Some persons maintain that warm
and dry basement or stove room is the
best for all sorts of squashes. A
horticultural contributor to the Tri
bune holds that a dry store room, or
furnace heated apartment, that new
er gets cold enough to freeze, or a
closet near a fireplace, are good pla-
ces in which to keep squashes and
pumpkins. They also keep well when
hung up in baskets or bags overhead
in the Kitchen, or on hanging shelf
In our experience, such warm pla-
ces or closets, where the temperature
varies much, are poor places for the
purpose. We succeed best with squash
es kept in a cold, dry cellar, and not
exposed to too much light. Theoret-
ieally and practically, heat moisture
and light are found to promote rapid
decomposition. The sguashes should
be placed on shelves separately. and
with few thicknesses of paper IN
der each.-Agricultarist.

Cost of Tobacco and Strong Drink.

There are in the United States thir
ty millions of people. We will sup
pose one-third of these chew TOBACCO,
smoke, or take snuff. A few consume
dollars worth daily, others so cts,
others 25 cts, others 10 cts, others
cts, others to 2 cts. The average
is, say cts. each daily. Ten millions
at 5 cts. each, is S500,000.
Half the people of the United States
drink other beverages than water, milk
tea, cocoa and coffee. The wines and
brandies of many cost daily IS, others
$3.50, others 81, others so cts, otheys
