summer Pruning OF stopping Of the grape
Vine.

Our attention has been called, by Mr..
Phin's admirable work on grape culture, to
the great Importance of proper summer care
Of the fruiting vines-in order TO secure
full and satisfactory yield Of luscious grapes.
BY stopping, is meant pinching OF the ends
of the shoots. II the lateral shoot is allow
ed To grow unchecked il will consume its
portion OF TODD in the production OF many
leaves and some grapes, and the more there
are Of the former the less will DO tho weight
of the latter. But il the shoot is stopped
after having formed two leaves, all that
quantity OF food which would have been
consumed in the production Of other leaves,
is applied to the increase Of size in the grapes
and the two leaves that are left, which are
to give flavor. sweetness and color to the
grapes. BY summer pruning we do not
mean the removal of large quantities OF leaves
as is often done to the injury of the fruit, as
il il we'll known that the finest punches grow
and rlpen under the shade of the leaves
But what is required is simply to break oil
the ends of the shoots; this should be at
tended to at this season.-ROehester Demo-

YANKEE ouTRAGEs.

About the 9th Of the present month a squadron
of Yankee Cavalry, Sd n. Y, advanced. into the
country from Newbern as far as Cove Greek
bridge. On their return when within about Ia
miles of Newbern they halted at the house of an
aged man named Wood, whom they dragged out
Of bed and tied to a tree in his yard, where they
kept him all night. They offered all sorts of in
dignities to his wife, but did proceed to per-
sonal violence. But his daughter, the only
one then present, young girl about l6 years OLD
they perpetrated the most fendish brutalties,
stripping her naked, and violating her person in
a room adjoining her aged mother, whose agonies
were only augmented by hearing her cries of de-
spair and entreates for relief which she could not
render.
We had heard, again and again of these fendish
outrages, but refused to believe or record them,
until last Wednesday morning, when commits
stoned officer, who was then and is still on duty
in that region, called at our Office and assured us
that they dread realities. Surely the AL
mighty has day Of terrible retribution in store
for these brutes though concealed from the human
eye What renders them the more aggravating
and deplorable, we are assured that not more than
thirty of the ncarnate fends constituted the bru-
tai force. What ia the name Of Heaven and wo-
mans chastity our troops in that region do
ing? Are they asleep or working farms? or
are they engaged in hunting, fishing and playing
cards? If thirty Yankee rascaIs ride over
the country and perpetrate such outrages, we hope
that Gen. Lee will at once remove every soldier
out of the State.-Raleiyh Daily journal.

FOREIGNERS GOING NORTH

Since the beginning of hostities betw ee the
Confederacy and the United States, every facility
has been extended to foreigners in the South to
enable them to go to the North, whenever they
have desired it; and no foreigner who has, in the
meantime, arrived in the Confederacy, has been
subjected to any process whatever, not even per-
suaslon, to cause him to become citizen 1t has
been the custom in this Department to send all
such persons to the North by the flags of truce
which have been established between Richmond
and Old Point, and, as far as it went, the system
worked with perfect harmony. The Federal au-
thories have, either in thsr desperation to obtain
recruits, or with view of inaugurating, clandes-
timely the Know Nothing principle in their policy,
adopted the expectancy Of refusing to receive on
their truce boats any citizen of a foreign country
who IS unwilling to take the oath of allegiance to
the United States. In q recent communication to
this Department., VIM. p Wood, Commissioner
for the exchange of State prisoners for the Militia
~ District of Brigader General Wadsworth, states
explicitly that "No alien, claiming foreign protec-
ton, can have any demand for TRANSPORTATION or
subsistence on truce boats, without previous ar
engagements, authorized, granted and recognized
by the United States authorities" Thus, it will
be seen, the foreigner in the South must obtain au
thoriy from the North before he can obtain esress
and this authority, for the present at least, must
be based upon the condition alone that he will sell
his soul to the Federal Government.
Meagher and Corcoran are now doing their Mt
most to gain recruits for the Northern army
What can their feelings be and what their ideas Of
constitutional liberty, if they look upon such
an unparalleled monopoly of privilege without in
diguaion? If the Irishmen and Germans of the
North are like those of the South, such preposter
Gus tension of capacous power must prove seriously
injurious it not really disastrous to the Federal
causc.-Rich. Enquirer

AN ENGL1sHMAN's OPINION.

/ The correspondent of the London Times, Mr.
Spence, Qhe successor of Russell in the United
Ststes,) writing from New York to that paper,
concludes one of his letters as follows:
"One nestimable advantage it is in the power
of the North to obtain from the Maryland cam
paign. 1t is now in position to make peace with
out dishUnor. None will dispute the amazing en-
ergy with which another great army was sent forth
after sore reverses, or the valor with which that
Amy has fought, or the skill with which it must
have been handled to foil such Generals as Lee
and Jackson And the campaign not only does
credit to the Northern arms but offers lesson so
plain that he who runs may read. The creation
of overwhelming debt, the 100000 men, the enor-
nous force of artillery, the gunboats, the blockade
what have they all produced? The ejaculation
that Northern State is ''saie." Here are men
without uniforms, with shoes in holes, who march
from Richmond to the Raridan, and fight battle
then on the suburbs Of Washington, and fight
two more battles-then back to the West, and
across into Maryland, and fight two more battles,
ntictins in the last upon the enemy such loss as
the fall of Is Generals may represent then, I'M
daunted, ford the river and perform with complete
success the most difficult operations of war. Some
have got their shoes from the slain and guns from
captured garrsons; but, howsoever armed or cloth
ed, this Is what these men have done. And it
forces this question upon any reasoning minds
it in the power of army or people to subdue "a
country half a continent in size, defended by a
people of whom the men mi ht fight thus, and
the women are as unconquerable in spirit?
But this golden opportunity will be lost, and
for this reason. No peace is possible any other
basis than the independence of the South, and the
North cannot be the first to acknowle ledge that in
dependence. There is no instance on record, in
modern times, where war of this nature has en-
ded by the older power taking the lead of others
In recognizing the one. The Older power
will follow, as all submit to accomplished fact,
but 1t will not lead. 1t will struggle on against
reason, experience, impending ruin, with the
s'u6oOrnness of wounded pride 1t is for Europe
to remove this stumbling block by the recognition
OF the Southern Confederacy, and so long as it de-
lays SO long will this injurious war continue.

FROM GEN. LEES ARMY.

We have some further particulars of the recent
skirmshing along our lines. On Thursday, the
18th, the Stonewall brigade was sent out beyond
our lines to destroy a certain bridge on the Balt-
more and Ohio Railroad, and to tear up the track
The enemy, who, at that time. crossed the river in
force, perceiving this, attacked them with over
whelmng numbers, and they were compelled to
fall back, with the loss of several men. Col Ro-
maids, of the 18th Virginia Regiment, who was at
that time acting Brigadier General is now in Win
chester, severely wounded. On Friday morning
the enemy, seeing the smoke of barn which was
accidentally fired our lines, and surprising
that We were burning our eommssary stores for a
preclpitate retreat, made an advance along the
whole lines; but finding that our forces were pre-
pared to meet them, and that our army advanced
at the same time to meet them, they declined an
engagement, and the main body of their army
again fell back beyond the Potomac When this
was made known, our army wert back to their
camp well contentcd. They arc now resting oui-
etly.-Rich. Dispatch, 23d

IN safety with his army. He lost $500 barrels
Of pork, which was left at Lexington and fell into

was felt among the officers of Bragy's army at the
falling back, and many of them literally went
when the order was given. The letter gives rs
many particulars of the movements of our forces
which it would not be proper to publish. The
conclusions % be drawn from all the news in our
possession are, that Bragg has met an overwhelm

he has been too tmid, and made forced marches,
