MAKING SoAP.-IIave the lye strong
enough to bear up an egg and put it in your
soap barrel. Put a little in your kettle, and
put in your grease and melt it. Have tin
pan with holes punched in the bottom, and
strain the grease Though this to get out all
the Jumps, then turn it in the barrel with
the lye. 1t wants about three pals of lyc
to one of grease. Stir it up once or twice
day for Il few days. and you will have fine
barrel of soap. If there is too much lye it
will settle to the bottom, and if not enough
the grease will rise, and more must be
added.

In speech at Rockville, Maryland, some
days since, Ex-Governor Thomas said that
slavery is etfectually dead in that state. No
lot of one hundred slaves in the state will
sell on the block for one thousand dollars.
No slave in the state can he made to render
to his owner more of his labor than he
elects to reader, or to remain under his
jurisdiction month after he elects to fee
from it. Such are the results of the war
for the benefit of slavery made upon the
legal and constitutional rights OF white
labor throughout the Union.

JAPAN AND ITS PEOPLE.
The Country----gapnncs Houses.
C,Istulncs and Diet.

The following extract from a private
letter, dated Yokohama, June IA, from a
medical naval officer now on service in the
Japanese waters, to his friends in Manchester
England, will be read with interest
"Nagasaki is beautifully situated at the
head of deep day and at the foot of green
hills, backed up by lofty mountains. The
scenery is most BEAUTIFUL, the land is most
fertile and almost every available spot is
cultivated with rice, barley, &C., somewhat
in the terraced manner of the Chinese. The
approach and the passage to Yokohama is
among innumerable islands, all clothed with
cultivation or forests Of every shade of
green, with the white sandstone peeping
out here and there. Each island is gem
in itsclf-the brilliant green of the young
rice was beautifully contrasted with the
many colored forests, and the whole was
set in a broad frame of the purest blue
water, dotted in every direction, as far as
the eye could see with islands or capes
The whole scene recalled to me the travels
of Sinbad the sailor, ana was more like
dream from fairy tale than an actual
reality. The shores were very populous; :;
we passed numerous large towns with their
toy like temples and sombrc- -colored low
houses. rs clean aud neat as those in China
are dirty and untidy innumerable junls of
all sizes, whose captains threw up their
arms us we passed in token of friendship; /;
innumerablc fishing boats, with two men,
or man, or, perhaps, single urchin, who
grinned good humOred smile; innumcrablc
pretty villages and houses to the waters
cd9e-Onc | well remember where we passed
within Gable of II sort of balcony, which
was crowded with japanese girls who
chuttering in a way That women only can.
THE people at Yokohama do not appear
so hostile Us at Naga>aki, probably because
there are here no Daimios. The trading
classes are, indeed, everywhere for us, end
some of the Diamios but the majority OF
the Daimios are decidedly against us, and
they hold all the power in their hands.
One thing is quite certain, if we wish to
extend, or even preserve, our trade with
japan, the power OF the Dauiios must be
broken, and war of II very bloody and
expensive kind ensue sooner or later No
one of the fleet wishes war; the coolies and
common classes are 50 civil ana good that
we should be sorry TO fire a single shot at
them, for they, and not the Dairnios, would
suffer. All we eau possibly do is to bonn
bard their towns, OF which, indeed, they
are now SO afraid that Jeddo is nearly
deserted. We cannot march into the in
terror, oT force Miakdo, without IA very
large army. The japanese light desperately,
and are in such respects totally unlike the
Chinese, for whom they entertain profound
contempt.

CABBAGE PLANTs-A farmer near Chica-
go, adopts what to us is a novel way of
raising early cabbage plants. lie takes an
old hog trough in the fall and fills it with
soil and puts off the top of a fence, or any
place that will be five or six feet from the
ground. Here it remains all winter The
frost mellows the soil, and in the spring it
will be fit to "work" much earlier than the
soil in the garden. He sows the seed in the
trough, and has all the plants he wants, and
some of his neighbors, and earlier, we are
told, than they can be raised in any other
way a frost which will kill tender plants
on the surface OF the ground does not
trouble those on the fence in the hog
trOugh.

FooD FOR FATTENING PoULTRY.-The
cheapest and most advantageous. food to
use for tattening every description of poul-
try is ground oats. These must not be CON
founded with cat meal, or with ordinary
ground oats. The whole of the grain is
ground to fine powder; nothing of any
kind is taken from it. When properly
ground, one bushcl of the meal will more
etfectually tatten poultry than a bushel and
a half of any other meal. The greatest
point in fattening poultry is to feed at day
break.

Scott, of a threatened attack on Fort Smith,
Gen. Blunt left the former post for the latter
one on Sunday last.
The rebel Gen. Cobcll, with about ten
thousand men, from Gen. Cooper's.srebel
force crossed the Arkansas river, east of
Fort Smith, on the 1st inst, and joined Gen
Coffee, at Crooking Prairie, Mo.
Gen. Cobell was determined to make a
raid into Arkansas or Missouri.
On the receipt of this intelligence, all the
Federal cavalry in the Kansas district, and
a battery, were sent to Fort Scott.
a letter from Fort Scott, dated on the
7th, says lieutenant Tappan, of General
Blunt's staff, has arrived here. lie reports
all Blunt's staff and body guard as having
been captured by the rebels also the
command under Lieutenant Pond, at Bax-
ter's Springs.
Gen. Blunt had succeeded in getting ten
miles away, but it was uncertain whether he
had escaped or not.
The rebels were under Quantrell, Hunter
and Gordon, and were moving towards Fort
Scott.
There is no danger of Fort Scott being
taken, it being abundant!y strong enough to
resist any attack.

GEN. BURNSIDE VS.. GEN. HooKER.-The
New York Herald publishes what purports to
be copy of the order of Gen. Burnside re-
ferred to in Gen. Cochrane's late letter against
him. The order dismisses Gen. Hooker from
the United States service-subject, of course,
to the presidents approval-'for unjust and
unnecessary criticisms on the actions of his
superior officers" and ''for endeavoring by
the general tone of his conversation to excite
distrust and disaffection in the army" For
similar reasons the same general order dis
misses major generals Franklin and WE.
Smith, and brigader generals Sturgis, New
ton, Cochrane, Brooks, Ferrero, and Naylor.
The whole affair is obviously a forgery.
There is nothing in Gen. Burnside's character
or military career that harmonizes with the
style, temper, or spirit of this order. How
ever he may have been tried, he would not
have manifested his impatience in form like
this. But whether genuine or not, there can
be difference of opinion as to the baseness of
parading such an order before the public at
time like this.
