/ Lord Russells Beply.
The following is Lord Euasel's reply, rel
alive to the steam rame in the Mersey.
FOREIGN OFFICE, Aug. 18th.
Gentlemen:-I have received your letter
calling my attention to subject of very
grave and pressing Importance, namely -
The fitting out or equipping of two power
ful iron-plated steam rams which am il :
formed are intended TO commit hostilties
against the government and people of the
United States. My attention has long been
directed to these subjects. Both the Treas
ury aud Home Departments have, at my
request, made most anxious enquiries upon
the subject of these steam rams.
You are aware that by the foreign enlist
ment act, ship is liable to be detained and
the owners are subject TO penalty, when
the ship is armed or equipped for purposes
of war, and the owners intend to use her
against some State or community in friend
ship with her majesty.
1t is necessary to prove both the equip
ment and intention.
1t is necessary for the conviction in a
puclic coutr to have the evidence of a
creditable witness, was in hopes when I
began to read your memorial that you
would propose to furnish me with evei- !
dence to prove that the steam rams in
question were intended to carry on
hostilties against the government and peo-
pie Of the q. S., but you have made no pro.
posal of the sort, and only tell me that you
are informed that 50 and SO, and it is be-
leved that SO and 50. Youmust be aware,
however. that according to British law,
prosecutions can not be set on foot upon
the ground of violation of the foreign en-
listment act without the affidavit of cred
ible witnesses. In other cases Of INSIDE
n,eanor and crime such likewise is the law
and use. Yours, &C., SUssELL.

Knoxville.

NEW YORK, Sept. IA special to tn
Tribune from Cincinnati confirms the ova
ton our troops received at Knoxville. o.
its occupation by the Federals the town wa
decorated with flags, which had been hidde'
for wears. Burnside made an address to

The procession was nearly mile long.
Valuable machine shops and foundrie'
were found in Knoxville, also two million
pounds of salt and large quantity of wheat
The prisoners captured at Cumberland
Gap were the Second North Carolina, First
Virginia, and, and First Georgia, with sew
cral companies of artillery. They surren-
dered Internationally.
The Georgia Regiment was eight nun
dred strong and was captured once before
by Gen. B urnside at Roanoke Island.
The night of the 7th two companies OF
our troops stole through the rebel plckets
and burned mill that had supplied the
rebels with meal in the sight of the rebel
camp. -,
Burnside was to return to Knoxville on
10th. where he will remain till the decision

A few small bodies of rebels are still

hospital at Knoxville asked to be relieved
for want of work.

Anderson which he had with him at Sum

not true. Peter Hart, the hero, who had
so much to do with it at the time the rebels
bombarded Sumter, says the flag is in his
keeping here,

Rntter in Winter.

How very difficult it is to find good but
ter in winter. Where one farmer makes an
attractive article, one hundred give it to US
white and tasteless. How is this Why can
not general mode be adopted by dairy men
in manufacturing butter We are assured
by one who does make delicious butter in
the midst of winter, that there is no solid
reason Why butter generally should not be
good throughout the year. He says all that
is needed is, first, to adopt his mode, and
then to give it proper care and attention. II
We remember correctly, this mode Is as fol-
lows:
Every farmer should raise as many car
rots as his mich COWS will need Throughout
the winter, giving each such quantity as
may be judged to be proper. This has ar
excellent effect upon the freshness and rich
ness of the milk. Before churning, two oil
three middle-sized orange carrots are grated
the juice pressed out through cloth, over
the juice boiling water Is poured, and then
again passed through the cloth. To this
add pint of new or sweet milk, stir and
throw into the cream before churning This
juice is sufficient for ten or twelve pounds
of butter. Made in this way, there ii
IS scarcely any difference, either in color Oh
flavor, between it and the best summer but
ter. This We state from our personal knowl
edge.
We have no doubt that good butter cal
be made by preparing the cream in this way
without the feeding of carrots. At least
those who have only small quantity Of
hand, or eau buy them in the market, shout
try it erRldRfOtgn Telegraph.
