The government is seriously embarrass

what new plan be adopted, the rebels are
sure to hno " of it before the first steps
have been taken to carry it into execution
Gen Joe. Johnston knew of the proposed
advance of Mcdowell from Fredericks-
burg several days before the time appoin
ted for the army to set cut on the march.
The Republican this morning alludes to
the embarrassments of the government in
this respect, and suggests that the treason
IS somewhere in the families of high Off
cials 1t is a notorious fact that the re-
eellion has some Of its most devoted sup
pqrters among the aristocratic women of
Washington, and some Of them are wives
ami daughters of loyal men who sustain
confidential relations with the administra-
ton. 1t is thought that this is the avenue
by which secret information goes is Rich

The Nashville Union gives the early life
of jeff Davis as follows
trifing little rebel pafer in Kentucky
processes 70 doubt the truth of our state
ment respecting the origin Of JEFF Davis.
What we stated Is well known to hundreds
of the best citizen. OF Christian and Todd
counties, Kentucky. JEFF Davis father
lived for number of years in log csbir
situated in what is now the town of Fair
view, twelve miles from Hopkinsville, Ken
tucky. The house is new weatherbosrded
and used as a tavern, Old Davis was a
man of bad character. horse trader, and
swindler and of very low habits. A fine
horse was missing on one occasion in the
neighborhood, under such suspicious cir
cumstances that he found it safest to leave
the county Immediately and fly to Aissss-
ippi JEFF. Favis is his illegitimate son,
born some miles distant from his father $
house, and taken home by him when seve-
raj years OF age. These are notorious
facts. Some of Davis relatives still live
IN that part of Kentucky We would new
er have alluded TO the sinister bar of JEFF 5
escutcheon, were not his friends contiual-
ly prating about southern geutility and
the low breeding of Union people Our
own opinion is that jeff S birth does him
more credit than any portion of his subsc-
quent life

Receipt for Curing Meat.

The Germafstoun telegraph gives the
following receipt for curing meat, and
says that after using it for about twenty
years, and comparing the hams SO cured
with others cured by dozen different
processes, we are more than ever con-
vinced OF its superiority 1t is this:
10 one gallon of wafer take laths. of
salt, 3tb- sugar, J or. OF saltpetre, and J
or of potash. In this ratio, the pickle to
be increased to any 4uastity desired Let
these be boiled together until all the dirt
from the sugar rises to the top and is
SKINNED off. Then throw it into tub to
cool, and when cold, pour it over your
beef or pork, to remain the usual time.
say four or five weeks Tie meat must
be well covered with pickle, and should
not be put down for at least two days
after killing, during which time it should
be slightly sprinkied with powdered salt
petre, which removes all the surface blood,
ETC., leaving the meat fresh and clean
Several of our friends have omitted
the boiling of the pickle, and found it to
answer equally AS well /; will not, how
ever, answer quite SO vel. By boiling
the pickle, it is puylfed-br the amount
of dirt which is thrown off by the opera

The Nashville correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette saws
Yesterday a gentlemen gave me the
facts, as they came to him, of a little ad-
venture near Huntsville, Ala, Two indi-
viduals invented an expedient for cheap
cotton purchases. They wentto the house
of a widow lady. and informed her they
were sent by General Mitchell to purchase
her cotton for the Government, at the fix
cd price Of $50 per bale. If she refused
to SELL her crop would be taken by force
The lady, whose mind had been so abused
as TO believe the Government would do
anything, gave way to their demand, and
actually sold them all the cotton she had
at $40 bale.
Next they went to the house Of gen
tlemen III the same neighborhood. who at
first believed their falsehood and sold his
cotton, but the second sober thought con-
vinced him he had been humbugged, and
he repaired to General Mitchell with a
statement of the case When the General
heard the statement he sent guard with
the planter to arrest the spectators. and
when they were found caused them to pay
both partie $50 per bale, and then having
thrown the cotton over to the United States
threw them into Jail

DRY Foop FOR HoGs.-A correspondent
Of the Country Gentleman says: Many
hogs are kept comparatively poor by the
high dilution oStheir food. They take IN
so much water that there is not room Tor
a good supply of nutriment Hence the
reason that those farmers who carefully
feed ur.dil,tted sour milk to theft hogs,
have so much finer animals than those who
give them stop The hog has not room
for much water and if food which con-
tains much is fed to him, 1t makes him
big -bellied but poor Hogs, as well as
other animals, should be allowed all the
water they will drink, but it should not
be mixed with their food in excessive
quantitv-the hog should not ! obliged
to take more water than he wants in order
to get the food he requires

them up that they con !ered themselves
