MOSBY'S WORK.

We have received the following account of the
late operations Of Mosby, the gallant Confederate
scout, near Alexandria, Virginia:
On the night Of Monday, the 28th ultimo, the
boarding house of Col. Daaiel f. Dulany aid to
Governor Pierpont, the bogus Governor of Vir-
ginia, was ascertained. 1t was within a mile of
Alexandria. Selecting few of his men, among
them Son of Col. Dulany and gallant man and
true patriot Mosby repaired to the quarters of the
aid He presented himself to the Colonel, and
told him he was Mosby. The Colonel supposing
that he had been taken prisoner, and that the sol
diers around were his guard, told the Major that
be was very glad to see him but when Mosby told
him to pack up and come along, he changed his
note and told him he was very sorry to see him.
Recognizing his son, Col Dulany told him there
pair of old shoes up stairs which he might
have, he supposed such articles were very
in Dixie. French (the SOM presented his feet to
his father, showing pair of cavalry boots captured
from a sutler, and remarked that he was the bet
ter shod of the two.
Mosby then proceeded with several men to the
railroad bridge over Cameron Run, and set it on
fire in several places, and left it in flames. This
bridge is commanded by the guns of two Yankee
forts.
Duany's papers were brought of, as well as
himsel lf.-RichmOnd Sentinel.

From the Salisbury Watchman.

BGg~ With perhaps one single important 'excep-
ton, the present prospect of the Of the Con-
federacy is decidedly encouraging. We have
strong and confident armies confronting the enemy
at all points, who is compelled to- pause in his at
tempts to advance. The recent conflicts of arms
have taught them that the Confederates are yet
terribly in earnest Our army corps are fuller
now than they have been for year, and there is
unity of sentiment and better spirit
amongst the people at home. Indeed, there is
but one very important point on which hangs a
reasonable fear of serious consequence, and that
is the question of supplies for the army. From
every quarter we hear the complaint that farmers
will not sell their produce. Some unwilling
to take the Government price, preferring to throw
their products into the markets and get the highest
possible rates Others are unwilling to sell now,
because they know by waiting, prices will run up,
and they may make fortune out of single crop.
Others have as much Confederate money as they
want, and prefer to hold on and wait for something
to turn up. Altogether there can be no doubt Of
the fact that the lack of supplies consequent upon
these and others similar is the most threat
ening danger which at this time mars the prospect
of the Confederate cause.
Now, all will admit that this ought not so to be.
All who know the consequences of the failure of
our cause know that we will be utterly and forever
ruined; and they also know that it is impossible for
success without an army we'll supplied with the
provisions and clothing necessary for their heati,
and efficiency. How dangerous is our situation !!
1t depends the faith, the patriotism Of the
people at home. The courage of our troops has
been 50 thoroughly tested that that is out of the
question: Can it be possible that the people at
home will prove themselves unworthy, and thus be
the cause of their ruin ! Surely, surely not. We
ought aU to feel that we have personal response
billty-as if the entire result hung our lndlVId
ual exertions and sacrifices and come up to. the
work of the weak against the strong with full as
surance in God as our help. Shall any hang back
and complain that the Government has taken
tthe of ther produce already, and that hey oag ut
to be allowed to make all they of the remain
der? If the Government could do the work re-
quired of ii and permit this, there is no doubt 1t
would be done But let such. persoLs matnreiy
consider the work required of the Government and
the means they have to do it,, and if he be true
Confederate he will see that there is great need for
every man to put his hand and heart into the work,
and help the Government to the extent OF his abi-
ty. There is room for avarice in our struggle,
but it abounds, and, it may be, VII prove our
overthrow.

LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Tenn, {

| LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Tenn, Oct D.
The dull monotony which has prevailed in camp
since our arrival in front of Chattanooga was re,
| lieved yesterday by a bombardment ofthe enemy 8
works. Several of our longest range guns were
/ placed in position-some of them on the side of
Lookout Mountain--and slow but regular FIRE
was kept up from IL o'clock in the morning until
1 s in the afternoon. This fire was maintained at
intervals dsIins last night The guns put in posi-
tion on the side of the mountain were the 20 poun-
der PARROTS of COL e. p. Alexander, chief of ar
tiliery in Longstreet's corps. The enemy replied
to our fire from three points only. None of their
guns, however were able to reach batteries On
the mountain, on account of their great elevation
Ihe distance was too far for our guns to pro-
duce any particular effect. Several of our Shot
were seen to explode above the Star fort aud over
the Federal lines; but far as 1 could see, with
the aid OF an excellent glass, no unusual commo-
ton was created thereby in the camps of the ene-

their positions in the forts and behind the breast
works. and stood firmly to their posts THROUGHOUT
the day. A few of our 12-pounder howitzers were
placed within twelve hundred yards of the Federal
lines, but the guns chiefly relied upon were not
nearer than two and two and half miles.
Our casualties were few and slight, not exceed
ing five or six wounded from Shells The enemy
doubtless suffered heavier loss, inasmuch as his
troops were more closely massed in an open plain,
deSerter; VINO swan the river yesterday and
delivered himself up to pickets, says that re-
port prevailed in their camps that cavalry had
destroyed between four and five hundred of their
wagons with their contents He says also that the
Federals suffered very much for food for week af-
ter the battle of Chickamauga, but that they were
now receiving full rations, supply train having
arrived.
With the exceptions noted above, no change
has occurred since the date of my last letter.
There is still some doubt felt in regard to the re-
Inducements alleged to have been received by
Rosecrans. One day we hear that the forces lately
in East Tennessee, under Burnside, have certainly
arrived, and again that several trains loaded with
troops have been seen by our pickets below to ar
rive at Stevenson; and on the next it is affirmed
most positively that no reinforcements whatever
have come up, either from Burnside Grant, or
Meade. My own opinion is that additional forces
have been received, and that the time has passed
when could hope to force Rosecrans out Of
Chattanooga except by flank movement upon
Nashville, or the destruction of his line ofcommu-
ncations to che rear. Twenty thousand men, if
properly provsioned, hold the place indefinite

THE PROSPECT.

Col. Duncan K McRae, who has recently re-
turned from Europe, made speech in Goldsboro
N. C., RECENTLY, of which correspondents of the
Salisbury Watchman speaks as follows:
He prophesied the early termination of the
War-said it was in its last stage His reasons
were these: We have twelve masterly vessels
building in Europe, eight in the yards of Great
Britain, four ip those of France They will soon
be ready-tbe officers of "the right STAMP" are
there to command them, and those that Col M.
saw, he thinks capable of knocking the most for
mldable OF the Yankee craft into the most con-
founded confusion. He has no doubt of their be-
ing allowed Dy both GoVernments to sail unmoiest-
ed-having ascertained the opinions of legal gem
tlemen during his recent visit to England An
other for his opinion is the evident exhaus-
ton OF the enemy's resources-as proved by the
utter failure of the Yankee draft and the pitiful
dependence of the North on negro soldiers to finish
the struggle. Further, he is assured that recog-
milton is certainly at hand. From plausible argu
ments, he concludes that Maximilan's accession
and the announcement of our recognition will! be
simultaneously y on the 1st Of January. Seward, in
his famous circular, objected to European inter-
ference in Mexican affairs to anything like con-
quest, as violating the Monroe doctrine. Napoleon
replied by conqucring Mexico. Seward added that
if they should get ..hold and establish govern
ment in Mexico-that government should be Re-
publican. Napoleon replied by establishing real
monarchy. Seward contended that foreigner
should be placed over Mexico in any event and
Napoleon replied by making an Austrian-one of
aHaation especially odious to the United States
Emperor of Mexico. He stated the real object of
France to be to secure Mexico for her small grain
products-it being true that France cannot raise
enough wheat for her own people, She also prizes
the Confederacy for her cotton-and would like.to
have her for ally. She would think it grand
advantage to have her Mexican interests protected
by the inteyposition of our young Republican. All
this shows the Emperors designs. The whole
speech was refreshing and hope, inspiring. Let
cherish the hope that his prognostications are
true p'

The process is simple and easy, and ms plain as

the must not only be ripe, but fully ripe, and
the best test of its ripeness is the hardness and
britteness OF its seed, being governed by its
general appearance Would you attempt to make
meal flour Of your corn and wheat while il is id
a milky or doughy state Then apply the same
test to the Chinese cane. 1t is my opinion that
the prime cause Of thin, dark sour syrup, is owing
to the greenness of the from which it is made.
The cane being fully ripe, it is ground and the
juice is boiled in the usual way. After it is put
on to boil some alka should be added, either lye,
soda, or lime water, yet know special quantity
to be added. 1t makes very well TO add half
pint OF lime water occasionally Cor three or four
times for q kettle of go or so gallons, until the

moved with strainer as fast as IL rises All the

you choose to do so. The fire should never be too

choose until it is ready to take of, which should
not be too soon, as thick syrup is much TO be pre-

When it has reached the stage of thick syrup very
little more boiling will convert il into sugar, which

you will always know at what stage to remove Is
from the kettle better than can tell you, though

from the kettle, place il in some vessel n short
while until some of its heat has left, and then pour
it into your barrels with the hoops little loose in
order that the molasses may drip from il, of which
