An officer, just arrived, states that
General Grant had, on Friday, fourteen
Illinois regiments that had not been in
the fight At all.

The P, tersburg Express informs as how
the chivalry tried to secrele their horses
during an impressment in that neighbour
hood by order of King Jefferson:
The stlble-tbat haven If rest for the
horse after the tolls Of the day--wherein
he was always accustomed to cat his
daily mesl4 aud lie upon his bed Of straw,
was entirely too uncertain aud insecure
on the day of impressment. No stable
escaped espionage, and consequently no
horse found therein was allowed TO re-
main by tie Unsuitable officers. There
fore, we understand, tavOrite animals
were introduced into the cellars and din-
ing rooms OF private residences, and
kitchens. Even the church, we hear,
opened IT'S doors 10 receive a religious
horse, while those more rurally inclined
concealed themselves in the budding
woods around the city. Nor was the to-
baccO factory forgotten. But in many
instances the retreats were discovered,
and all was over with owner and animal.
We venture TO say that on this occasion q
new intelligence dawned on these horses.
For the first time they gained some view
of the manner OF mans living and of the
construction of bis house, and many
other Mates which they took due notice
of. Who shall reveal their impressions

The uattIe Of Armageddon.

Grants possession of Snyder's Bluff
gives him large advantages in his pro.
posed siege. IL enables him to shorten
his line OF communication with his base
of supplies, and avoids the danger OF
running the batteries on the river front,
o. the expense and delay of long trans
portatIon around Vicksburg on the Lou
isiana shore. Meantime, the interest OF
the situation deepens, and the eyes and
energies of both the beligerenis will, in
all probability, DO turned and concen-
trated upon this point. 1t is not unlikely
that the great battle of the war-per-
haps the decisive battle-will be fought
within cannon hearing of the Hill City
From the death. like qui, tude of Rose
Grams lines, il is promised that Grant
has been reinforced from the Tennessee
army.
The FederaIs will need great numbers
for tue work b. fore Thorn, aud they will
send them. We shall want them, and
they are Como and going. We should not
be much surprised to lind both Ro.ecrans
and Bragg transferring their long ex.
peoted fight ia Tennessee to the soil OF
the Mississippi Valley, and then may be-

pairing works OF defence on the opposite

be made II troops were here TO man the

good humor, was blue patch-bag, con
tanning numberless balls of yarn, of all

Thus, the thoughtful mothers, and the
little children, the young maidens, and

and as day after day, we receive fresh

we feel strengthened to "lend ourselves

AsPARAGUs.-No family in the country, that
has square rod of land to spare, should do
without bed of asparagus.
l. Because il is wholesome as food
.. Because it is profitable.
8. Because il is easily aud eheapy produced
A bed once well prepared and tended will last
for many yeArs-we do not know how MANY
perhaps twenty years.
If one has an old bed, ii would be advisable to
preserve seed and SOW it, to start a new one. II
not, it would be cheaper to purchase the roots
than to wait for plants from the seed.
The seeds may be sown us soon as the ground
will permit in the Spring or just before the
frost sets in, IN the fall. Cover the ground with
muck or litter, and with branches to keep it
from blowing OF. Take the litter in tue Spring
aud tue plants will soon appear. In planting the
roots, set the plants ten or twelve inches aplrt,
in strait lines, and the rows fifteen or twenty
inches apart Put the crown of the root three or
four inches below the surface, then level the
bed with the rake. The bed should be spaded
fifteen or twenty inches deep, and manure
plentiiuly mingled with the earth. If il were
throughly trenched, two feet, it would pay we'll
the plant should not be cut at all the first year,
and but sparingly the second. The third will
produce II bountiful crop, In cutting, let the
knife pass down under tho ground nearly to the
crown Of the root. Every autumn he bed should
be cleaned of the dead stems an the ground
covered with manure au iuoh or two deep In the
Spring, this should be carefully forked in and
we'll mingled with lhe soil, and the bed kept
entirely clear of weeds.
How To Cook ASPARAGUS. Boil it in salt and
water When young it will cook sufficiently in
fifteen or twenty minutes, toast white bread and
dip it into the water The asparagus was boiled in.
Lay the toast into the dish, and the asparagus
on top Of it, adding a little butter to each as
you proceed. Such a dish, with some traing
aecompauments, will make an excellent dinner,
