that at one time the Federal and rebel
pichets used to communicate with each

out !:
"Say, Yanks. if you can't talk, jist
write us somethin' and chuck it over"
One Of our men made motion of as.

the paper under the blade of a jack knife

the disgust of the Confederate when he
read:

ssy- The news from the theatre Of war
indicates that stirring events are in pro-
gress. A combined movement will prob
ably be made upon the rebels early in the
spring, engaging all our armies, from the
Potomac to the Lower Mississippi. The
forces under Meade aud Butter constitute
the left wing of this grand aggressive
movement; Grants armies, with Chat
tsnooga and Knoxville as their base,
compose the centre, and the great expe-
ditions from New Orleans make up the
left. The plans Tor the campaign are
complete, and execution will not long be
delayed.

OUR CONFIDENCE NOT MISPLACED
We had thought for the past few days
that the implicit confidence which We
had placed in the sagacity of the ground
hog had been misplaced, for when on the
second day Of February this sagacious
little animal retired into his domicl, we
confidently expected six weeks of unusu-
ally severe weather, and so certain were we
OF this that We made every preparation to
meet it. But we thought until Monday
evening that We were the victims of mis-.
placed confidence. Now, however, We
shall still put faith in the weather prog
nostications of these polkeTs.

DEsERrED.-A couple of boys who's e
parents reside on Sugar Greek, some three
miles from this city, ran away from home
and came here some four weeks ago and
enlisted and were sworn into service, but
before they were sent to Burlington their
parents came after them and took them
home.
A few days ago these same boys ran
away again and came here and enlisted,
and were taken to Burlington and mus
tered into the U. S. service. The first
night of their stay there they deserted
and started for home, having in SO short
a time become tired of soldiers life
But they were allowed to enjoy the qui.
etude of home for only short season.
Yesterday morning they were both arrest
ed and brought to this city. and are now
confined in the guard house.

BROKEN AND DAMAGED FRuIr TREES
The late unprecedented hard freezing rain
has more or less injured the fruit, orna-

W. ". Beebe, writing to the Dubuque
Times, gives the following advice in re-
gard to repairing the damages
With as little delay as the weather and
other circumstances may make necessary,
cut of with sharp knife or a saw, all the
parts or branches that are broken or Split,
cutting entirely below the splntered part
Then thoroughly cover all such wounds
with liberal application of compost
made OF equal parts Of common soil and
cow manure, wrapping the whole with
we'll fastened cloths or other suitable ma
terlal. For covering small wounds on
upper limbs of ineonvenient access use
wax made by melting Que part OF tailow
with four or five parts of rosin, or gum
shelac. For damage near the surface of
the ground, good banking up around
the trunk with mellow earth will exclude
drying air and be found sufficient protec-
tion. Promptness in this matter will save
much loss.

COrresp0m4ence Between Generals

We copied yesterday from Northern
papers correspondence between Lieut..
General Longstreet aud Major General
Foster, commanding the Yankee forces in
East Tennessee. Designedly, no doubt,
the most important letter Of this CORES
pondance was omitted in the journal from
which We copied the letters which have
already appeared. As the letter speaks
for itself, and terminates the correspond
ence, We submit it without comment

Sra: / have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt Of your letter Of the 1ih of
January, with it's enclosures, dc.
The dlsingenuous manner in which you
have misconstrued my letter of the Sd has
disappointed me. The suggestion you
claim to have adopted was 10 words as
follows, viz:
81 presume, however, that the great
object and end in view was to hasten the
day of peace. | respectfully suggest for
your consideration, the propriety Of com
municating any views that your Govern
lnent may have on that subject through
me, rather than By handbills circulated
amongst our soldiers
This sentence repudiatcs, in its own
terms, the construction which you have
forced upon it. Let me remind YOU, too,
that The spirit and tone Of my letter were
to meet honorable sentiments.
The absolute want Of pretext for your
construction Of the letter induces me to
sdmonish you against trifling over the
events of this great war. You cannot
pretend to have answered my letter in
the spirit Of frankness due to a soldier.
and yet it is bard to believe that an officer
commanding an army Of veteran soldiers,
on whose shoulders rests, in no small
part, the destiny OF empires. could SO far
forget the height of this great argument,
at arms, and SO betray the dignity of his
high station, as to fall into a eontes. ofI
jests and jibes.

favorable terms ON which deserters will
be received. Step BY step you have gone

EgWe find the following to the Tio.
ga and Bradford Democrat and would
call the especial attention of the younger
of our numerous readers to it all Young
men and young women too should follow
its teachings
HELP Your MoTnER-We have seen
from two to six great hearty boys sitting
BY the kitchen stove, toasting their feet,
aud cracking nuts or jokes, while their
mother, a slender woman, had gone to the
wood-plle for wood, TO the well for water,
or to the meat house to cut frozen steak
for dinner. This is not right. 1t should be
done by those more able. Boys, don't
let your mother do it all, especially if she
is feeble woman. Dull, prosy house
work is irksone enough at best. 1t is a
long work. too, it being impossible to tell
when it is quite done, and then on the
morrow the whole is to be gone over with
again. There is more of it than Que is
apt to think. We wish some busy all day.
houseworker. would count her steps for
one day, and let US have the result in
miles; let it be noted how many times
from the stove to the woodpile, to the
pump, up and down the stairs, and espe-
cially how many times from the stove to
the buttery.
Young men think of this.
