Quiet prevailed on Wednesday at Peters
burg with the exception of occasional shots.
The Express says:
With the knowledge before US that Grant,
has depleted his Army, to o considerable ex-
tent by sending troops up the Potomac, it is
believed by many that the explosion beard
Yesterday proceeded from the blowing up of
some of bis rear fortifcations, preparatory to
his leave taking. But the probability is that
it was the accidental destruction, of one u
his large magazines, Of the triS Of some ex-
perimentby the Yankees. We shall learn
the true Cause in d. few days.
Between five and six O'Clock yesterday af
ternoon, some activity seemed to prevail on
the centre. Picket firing increased to much
heavier degree than usual, and q very lively
shelling was in progress for the space of an
hour. Towards dark, however, everything
became quiet, and at'this writing not sound
from the lines can be heard.
The Richmond Enquirer of Thursdaysays
We have no further details Of the affair at
Moorfeld than we're given on yesterday. The
War Department received official information
on yesterday that nearly all of McCusIand's
men, who had escaped TO the mountains bv
scattering, had returned, and also many who
were supposed to,have been captured. The
command, though smarting under the sur.
prise, were in good spirits, and anxious to
obliterate the blemish upon their vigilance
and gallantly. We will soonlhear from them
Through authentic sources We have some
interesting and important news from the low.
er James river and the York Peninsula. All,
the Yankeeetroops hithsrto holding Williams.
burg and Yorktown, and overrunnine the
Peninsula, have been withdrawn and sent to
Washington.
Great activity prevails in Grants shipping
on James river, and appearances encourage
tie belief that he has within the past few
days sent off considerable force. There are
large numbers Of Yankees sick and wounded
at City Point. The place is one vast Laz-
aratto.

4 AGRfgHITU URAH,
Keeping Potatoes.

The following from cotemporary
makes some suggestions which may be
of interest to our readers:
We find great care used to prevent
potatoes and other roots from freezing.
Freezing does not hurt them, it is the
THAwING that does the mischief Po-
tatoes may be frozen and thawed three
or four times during the winter, pro-
vided the thawing be properly conduc-
ted, and not be injured thereby in the
least.
If a member of the body, such as a
hand or foot, be frozen, and be sudden
ly thawed by fire or warm water, the
flesh will mortify and drop off; but let
the frozen member be rubbed with
snow, which is little lower in temper
ature than the frozen foot, and thus be
gradually thawed, and no inconveni-
ence will ensue.
Only last spring planted potatoes
which were kept in heap in the open
air, and covered with three inches of
earth all winter. They were twice at
least frozen solid, and twice thawed,
but were uninjured.
In the spring, if early vegetables,
such as beans, peas or tomatoes, should
be frosted, or completely covered with
a white frost, they may be saved by
being sprinkled with cold water, if ad-
ministered before the sun shines upon
them. The water reduces the temper
ature gradually, without any bad eff
feet. lfpotatoes, apples or other veg
etables when frozen solid are placed in
cold water, they will be thawed grad
ually, and no harm will be done them.
Vegetables may be kept all winter
by making them into conical heaps
and covered with three inches of earth
and a sod ontop to shed rain A thin
layer of clean straw may be placed
over the vegetables, to keep them from
the DIRT. When put up in this manner
apples or potatoes may be taken out
at any time during the winter, and il
thawed in cold water are as good a:
ever. ......
If your potatoes freeze in the cellar
don't wait for them to thaw but throw
them in a conical heap, either where
they are or in the open air, ard cover
them with dirt, straw, shavings, ole
clothes or chaff, packed tight arounc
them and they are safe. The cover
ing will prevent sudden changes, whiel
do all the mischief | have saved fro
zen potatoes in this way, and it may
be new to some of your readers, anC
of use to them as it has been to me.

three-quarters of pound of candied
lemon and citron; the grated rinds of
two lemons; one grated nutmeg; half
an ounce of salt; one teaspoonful OF
pounded ginger; half that quantity OF
pounded mace; half a pint of the best
brandy, and half pint of sherry
These ingredients must all be minced
separately and we'll mixed with each
other, before the brandy and wine are
added. Those who like meat introdu-
ced into their mince meat should add
to the above quantity of fruit, one 10.
of unsalted ox-tongue, boiled tender,
or the undercut Of a sirloin Of beef.
The mince meat should be kept in close
covered Jars, and should be made some
days before it is required for use.
Ginger Bascuit.-Rub half a pound OF
fresh butter into two pounds of fine
-four, add half pound of sifted sugar,
and three ounces of pounded ginger.
Beat up the yells of three eggs, and
take little milk, with which make
the above ingredients into paste.
Knead it all well together and roll it
out extremely thin, then cut it into
the form of round biscuits with paste
cutter Bake them in a slow oven un-
til crisp, taking care that they are
pale brown color.
Griddze Cake "A very nice cake can
he produced by rubbing some butter
into -four, as you would for pie crust,
rolling it about half an inch thick, and
baking on quick griddle. These
cakes should be opened and buttered
hot like mullins.
Short Breod-Rub one pound of but
ter and twelve ounces of finely pow
dered loaf sugar into two pounds OF
-four; with your hand make it into stiff
paste, with four eggs, cut it into round
or square cakes; pinch the edges, and

some caraway comfits on top; then bake
them on iron plates in warm oven.
