More then fifteen months ago, in
1862, Gen. Negley's division made an
expedition into East Tennessee, reach
ing the river bank opposite Chattanoo-
GA on June 18th, which place they
shelled, silencing the enemies batteries
at that place. 1t deserves to be re-
membered that q gallant and leading
share in the movement stands accredi-
ted to the Nineteenth Illinois, Chicago
Zouaves, at that time led by the late
lamented Scott, then Lieut.. Colonel un-
der the brave Turchin. East Tennes-
see took heart as the sound OF Federal
cannon gave promise of help at hand
and the return OF the old flag: But
they were doomed to disappointment,
for without amy material result the ex-
petition returned. and Chattanooga has
since been rebel stronghold.
The city OF Chattanooga, which
used to contain abou, 5000 inhabitants,
is in Hamilton county, Tennessee, just
north of the dividing line between that
State aud Georgia, situated on the left
bank of the Tennessee River, and is
the northern Terminus of the Western
and Atlantic Railway, the southern ter
minus of which is Atlanta, Georgia. 1t
is also the eastern terminus of the
Nashville aud Chattanooga Railroad,
and forms the angular connection with
the line of railroad from Charleston,
S. g., to Memphis, Tenn. 1t is one
hundred and fifty-one miles from Nash.
vile, four hundred and thirty-two from
Savannah, and four hundred and forty
seven miles from Charleston.
The city is situated on a high bluff
overlooking the rushing waters of the
Tennessee River, which at this paint
spreads out TO a greater extent than at
many others in the vicinity. Being
the terminus of two important roads,
and the most prominent point on an
other, The Chattanooga and Memphis,)
it became the most available place
where the rolling stock of all could be
repaired and new stock manufactured.
Hence were established here numerous
machine shops, foundries, &c, which,
up to the outbreak of the rebellion,
were doing thriving business, and
contributing in great measure to the
advancement and prosperity of the
place. Tribune.

During the past seven years, we of
the West, have not enjoyed such an
abundant yield of fruit of all kinds, as
the orchards everywhere are breaking
down with, this season. Many of the
most prolific yields are upon trees Of
three and four years growth, hence the
supply is probably increased in proper
ton to our income of population. But
next year the crop may fail from frosts,
or blight, or drouth, or the ravages Of
some insect-there is no certainty that
the supply will equal that of the pres
ent season. Fruit is now so abundant
through the country that its consump-
ton in raw condition is hardly posi-
BILE. The prudent housewife will
therefore provide against all contingent
cies, by following the example of the
industrious bee, and lay up a stock of
sweets ior. winter. The cheapest and
best way to do this, is to preserve the
fruit in air-tight cans, without sugar.
The process is very simple Fill tin
can, glass or earthen jar, holding from
a quart to gallon with fruit, screw
the cap down with the fingers, sub
merge the can in a boiler of cold water,
which is then brought 10 boiling heat
-(by dsing wash boiler several cans
can be heated at once.) After boiling
a sufficient time, the caps are un-
screwed, and the cans left open for one
minute to allow the steam To escape.
The cap is then screwed down light,
and the can introduced into the water
q second time. The second boiling
has been omitted, too generally, and a
loss of the fruit is the consequence.
Should there be trace Of oxygen left
in the can, the second boiling will COLI
vert it into carbOnic acid, which Is i'll
noxious. Youmaus. in his ''Household
Science," gives the following as the
time required for the bOilings

UTeeu peas, corn OF Deans o hours. hours.
None but perfectly good fruit should
be canned, and it is desirable Ia have
the skins aud seeds removed, az the
flavor of the fruit is thereby injured.
Where no sugar is used, gill of hot
water is poured into the quart cans, the
same proportion into larger cans. 1t
To be sweetened, make a syrup of sugar,
and pour it on the fruit, till the can is
nearly full-a pound of crushed sugar
to a pint of boiling water, boiled two
minutes, makes very good syIup.
BY simply heating to the boiling
point as above directed-which pro.
duces no other change than that OF
partial cooking, and afterwards protect
ing from the air, alimentary substances
may he preserved in their natural con.
dition entirely unchanged in both
flavor and properties, for an indefinite

the following singular Incident "I

which had once told history. One
was rebel bullet of English manufac-

The former was fired from a rifle pit at
Jackson, at our skirmishers. The lat

in the air, were welded by the compact,
aud fell harmlessly to the ground.
They are now firm friends, sticking
