1t may not De known, as it should be, that
peaches can be preserved in good favor by SIM
ply cutting in two, extracting the stone and dry
ing the skin or peel downwards. If very large,
it may be as well to cut the peach into three
parts. 1t is not neces sary to peel and to cut up
into small pieces, as some suppose; much of
the juice and flavor are lost by this mode, and
are retained by the plan above stated. We COM

they can find immediate use for, as the preserva-

Gov. Clarks residence, on the suburbs of the town,

THE STOCK OF COTTON IN THE CON
FEDERATE STATES.

On this subject the following letter appears in a
late number Of the Manchester (Eng) Examiner {:
In the several communications recentlypublished
concerning livestock Of cotton in the Confederate
States, no allowance has been made for that con-
sumcd by the people Of the South, who have de-
pended since the 1st of May, 1861, on their own
manufactures for their, dry goods. The quantity
of the raw material thus taken up to the lst of Sep
tember WILDE equivalent to at least 100000
bales, cotton having been used for almost every
conceivable purpose. As nearly the whole crop
of 1860 was exported, shipments continuing up to
July 1861, the following statement, based upon
in formation from the cotton States, may be regard
ed as a fair approximation to the number of bales
at the commencement of the next commercial
vaar. BQleS.
