ArrLEs,-There is scarcely an article
of vegetable food more widely useful and
more universally loved than the apple.
Why every farmer in the nation has not

srou At all, Is ono of the mysteries. let
every family lay in from two to ten or
more barrels, ana it will be to themthe most
economical investment in the whole range
ot caliaarjes. y raw mellow apple is di-
e,stel in an hour and a half; while boiled
el5baaa requires five hours. The most
heathiul dessert which can be placed on
h. table, is baked apple, Iftaken freely
at breakfast with course bread and butter,
without meat or flesh Of any kind, it has
aa admirable effect on the general system,
often removing constipation, correcting
abilities, anl cooling off febrilc condit-
ions, more etfectually than the most ap-
proved melieine. If families could be in
dacei to substitute the apple, sound, ripe
aul luscious, for the pies, cakes, candies.
AMI other sweetmeats with which their
chi, lrea are too often indiscrectly stuffed,
there would be diminution in the sum

sufficient to lay in crop Of this delicious
.fait for Il whole seasons use.

The Scientific Balloon Ascent.


Monday the 18th ut, two scientific
gentlemen named Glaisher AMI CoXwelI
undertook the perious experiment OF
ascending to the highest possible altitude
in balloon Of immense size, which 1t had
been said by many Intelligent persons was
too huge to be manageble. The scene OF
the exploit was in the vicinity Of Birm-
ingham, England. The height attained
was four and half statute miles, or %
( 80 feet, greater distance than any 9TH
er aerial navleators had ever before at
tanned. The temptraturc at four and 4
! half miles was twcnty-four degrees, the
/ barometer was thirteen inches, and the
deY points was minus ten. At this height
tie hands became OF blue color. ard
the brain anl stomach labored under sey-
ere nausea. These sensations continued
to increase in intensity later in the day, and
they seemed to have arrived at their acme
between / and l. o'clock at night. Mr.
/ Glaisher, not being habituated to the bus
in9ss, suffered severely, but Mr.. CoXWeil,
his acronaut, did not experience the disa-
greeabIe sensations so intensely The form
cr, notwithstanding his debilitated coudit-
ioa, rcsoluteiy took notes and observations,
which as member of the balloon conf
mttce of the British Association he had
agreed to do. The popular belief that

Of the muscles Of the face, and a bleed
ing at the nose being all painfully per-
ceptible, was on this. as it had been on
another occasion, eXplod ID By experience.

reaching the highest altitude, the throb-

no with 10000 Dfsny with every prospect Of success whsr
an order came N m superior officer to hsltw
We presume this to be true, as il has not
been coutradcteN. But that 10000 men, about
the number which Fremont was on the eve Of
leading out against Price. many Of whom were
ordered ont of White, quarters, should again
bs marching South Westward in pursuit of that
rebel General. and this at the command Of
Fremont's successor, in less than htty days. Is
as complete justification a. could possibly De
given BY military men on the spot OF Ere
mont's campaign. But that recognition was
still wanting at Washington. Mr. Uur'eys
"superior officer" whoever he may be, was
no more reconciled to an end being put to
Price by Haeck, than by Fremont.
But even that justification seems to have
come at last, or so, at least. we infer from
our latest dispatches. At Sedala, which lies
due north of Springfield, column under Col.
Fuller has moved forward-southward, it is
evident. From Upton, we learn that Gen.
Daviss Division has been retarded BY bad
roads, but that it has passed the Big Gravler.
This stream is few miles south Of Upton,
aud Upton is little east of Sedalia. But
Gen. Davis, it is added, will advance rapidly,
az the roads are frozen, and the direction OF
his march is Lebanon, where we learn pres.
eutly Gen. Prentiss with his command is TO
join him. At that place, it is said, the mum.
Der of troops is constantly increasing; Slgel
was about to march thitber with portion of
bis division, and the rest was to follow. Cur
tia had already reached there. At Lebanon,
then, it is clear, the scattered forces Of Mis-.
souri, are concentrating, and, Of course, it Gun
only be with one purpose, for Lebanon is only
about thirty TO fve-and-thirty miles northeast
of Springfield. aud connected with it by rail.
Price must be the aim Of the expedition. The
late order from the "superior officer" must
have been revoked, and all Central Missouri is
alive at this moment with moving troops;
doing, by orders from Washington. precisely
what Fremont did in November, and with pre-
cisely the same purpose-to drive Price into
the southwest corner Of the State and compel
him 10 give battle. Ia not the man whose nil
itary plans are thus tardiy adopted, and bis
military skill thus trumpbantly shown-tor, it
must be remembered, his successors have not

ville--is not General whom events have thus

ability may be made available for the service
of his country. Two or three weeks ago.
when the news reached us that Gems. Halleck
and Pope were getting their forces ready to
move upon Springfield, where the rebel
General Price awaited their coming, We took
the occasion to show that the relative positions
of the hostile arrays would, in that case, be
practically the same as at the time of the
removal of Gen. Fremont, six weeks before,
but with this essential difference of prelimi-
naries-that whereas Price had been forced by
Fremont to tho verge of the State, cut of
from succor and supplies, his troops democrat
lied and panic-strickcn, and about TO become
an easy prey; that NOW this same rebel. per.
uitted then to escape by orders from Wash
ton, has ranged ut will through all Western
Missouri, burning bridges, destroying houses,
numbering Union men, and spreading terror,
devastation, and death through all that region,
had again turned at bay, not because he is
compelled to do so, but because he chooses at
point where he can command q cOmmunica-
ton with the Mississippi, whence supplies may
reach him, and where he may DO and has
been reinforced from the South. He is at
Springfield now, instead OF at Cassyille, and
the mere position alone il an evidence of all
the other difference.
But Price has not been attacked ut Spring

Wby9 Was there another order from Wash.

No reality in the entire range Of human
experience can be more grandly solemn than
70 stand on a battlefield and gaze around
upon the bloody picture Of mangIed, dying
and dead humanity, which the red hand Of
carnage has left behind. The sounds Of
strife have been hushcd the ground no lon.
ger trembles under the tramp Of legions; and
the air has ceased to yibrate with The rolling
Of musketry, the thunder Of artillery, and
the wild shouts Of men. Naught disturbs
the silence Of the spot save The whispering
Of the leaves, the carolling Of birds. and the
subdued voices 81 friends searching for the
dead, mingled with the means Of the wound
ed and their pleadngs for relief.
The excitement Of the battle has passed
away, and before the bodies over which you
may have carelessly troddcn few hours
before, you now bend in reverence and read
lessons whose imprint will never leave your
memory, Hearts buoyant with hope and
fer,or have been forever stiIled iips with
