Saving Cabbage.


A correspondent OF one OF our exchanges"
asks for good method to preserve green cab
bages through the winter; aud the editor calls
upon others for information.
The plan we have adopted for number OF
years seems to answer the purpose as well as
any with which we are acquainted. This we
have made known on several occasions and it
may do no harm to repeat it:
Select a dry part of the garden--dig
trenches Of sufficient depth to receive the cab
bage roots and stalks up to the hesd-into
these trenches transplant the cabbages, heads
up of course-6ll in the dirt carefully about
then up to the heads-plant four short posts,
two of them being higher than the others to
give pitch to the roof-nsil shinglng, lath,
or strips of old boards from on post to the
other, and another board half way up-lay
upon this number Of bean poles, and upon
these throw straw, corn-fodder, or bean haulm,
protecting also the sides--and your cabbage
will keep good until May. ..f..
Where there is fence, only tive posts will
be necessary, that being used as the apex Of
the cover or roof.-IGer. Telegraph.

WHAT CESSATION 0E HusTILITIEs MEAns.

IL a recent speech at Cincinnati, Lieut.
Gov. Chas. Anderson thus gives his view of
what would result from the cessat tion of hos
liliies. Ii is worth remembering:
What was to follow a cessation of hostili-
ties? A convention, with view to Union
Convene with whom? JEFF Davis, Toombs
Keitt, Yancy, and the like Were they to be
trusted in a convention, while the memory of
the Charleston Convention lasted But jeff
Davis declares he does not mean to treat for
a convention until separation has been agreed
to as the basis of negotiation.
How long should the army and navy be
kept up waiting on the assemblage and action
of this Convention Look at the expense;
it would cost more than war. But the cessa-
tion of hostiities involved the removal of the
blockade, and when that was done England
aud France would say, you have thereby ac-
knowlpdged the Conlederacy as a national
power, to be treated with as other nations;
and they would at once recognize it as a Gov
ernment. The ports of New Orleans, Mobile,
Savannah, Charleston, etc, would be open for
trade. Trade in what Cotton. What for !?
Gold. Gold for what? To buy more pow
der, percussion caps, more shells, the casting
OF more cannon, the hireing of more soldiers,
all Europe could then supply the South with
soldiers. To do what? To kill more of your
sons, brothers, friends, make more widows and
orphans, create more despotism, destroy more
liberty and happiness. This was what the
cessation of bostilities meant. This was what
the election of George B. Nc ClelIan would
lead 10. This was the salvation offered by
the Democratic party.

ASSASSINATION OF An ENROLLING OFFICER.

Capt. McCarty, formerly of the 42d Iudi-
aua, an enrolling officer for Reeves town
ship, Daviess county, started, on Monday last
to notify the drafted men of the township. In
the afternoon, while riding along the road in
tie southwest part Of the county, he was shot
by men in ambush, and, as it appears from
the confession of one of the conspirators. by a
detachment of eighteen who banded together
for this purpose.
After killing McCarty they placed the body
on sled and dragged it the distance Of one
and half miles to White river, aud tying a
large stone to the body, sunk it in the river
lis horse ran to a house not far off and was
taken up, but not recognized. On Tuesday,
his family becomiHg alarmed at his protracted
absence, inquiry was made in relation to his
movements, and his horse was found, and ira
ces of blood was discovered on the saddle
One man was arrested on suspicion of having
committed the murder, but no proof Of his
guilt could be addueed aud he wRs liberated.
On Thursday the place of his assassination
was discovered, and the track Of the sled ira
ced to the river bank. The man who had
been arrested, accompanied the party ou the
search, and when the body was dragged from
the water stricken with remorse, he burst out
CRYING, and declared that though his hands
were clear of McCartys blood his heart was
not, and then proceeded to make full confess
sion of his guiit, and of the damnabe coUspir-
acy that bad been set on foot and thus coward
iy executed. Eighteen had banded together
for this purpose, and on Monday, knowing OF
the movements Of Capt. McCarty, had divi-
ded into squads and waylaid the different roads
along which they supposed he would pass
Five men formed the squad that did the kill
ing. He gave the names OF the entire band
and seven Of them have been arrested and sent
to Indianapolis, and it is hoped by this morn
ing the entire eighteen will have been secured.
Captain McCarty is represented by all who
knew him, as an excellent and estimable man,
and even the men who murdered him so cow
ardly and cruelty bore this testimony to his
character.

PENlLETnNs REenRn.
His Opposition to War and Sympathy with tn {
Rebellion.
(From the New York Tribune)


(From the New York Trbune)
We believe we are not mistaken in saving
that Mr.. Peudeton voted in Congress against
every bill intended to supply men and money
for carrying on the war. Take the following
specimens of the support be has given the
government in the efforts to maintain the
Union
He voted against the bill to provide in
creased revenue from imports, etc, which
passed the House Aug. 2, 1861; yeas SO,
nays SO.
He voted against the bill to provide inter
nal revenue, support the government, and pay
interest Oh the public debt, passed April 2,
1862 yeas 126. nays only l5; among the
latter such patriots as Kerrigan, voorhees,
ard Valandigham, but the vast majority,
even of Democrats, voting for the bill as es-
sential 10 carry on the government. Impell-
ed by the same motive of hostility to the war,
PendIeton voting against the internal revenue
act of 1864, against the tariff act Of 1864,
against the bill to tax insurrectionary districts
ard against the treasury note act Of Feb. g.
1864.
Consistent in his friendship to all the open
friends of Rebellion, Mr.. Pendleton was one
Of the twenty who voted against the resolution
censuring Harris of Maryland, for treasona-
BILE language on the floor of the II ouse.
He was willing to repudiate the debt due
from the Government to portion Of its SOL
diers, and voted, March 81. 1864 for Har-
ding's proposition that the colored troops
should be cheated out of their wages earned.
June 80, 1864, he voted for LIE Blond's
"a
ers the campaigns in Virginia and Georgia
then actively going forward.
- He declared by his vote on the 18th of
January, 1864, as be had in his speech above
cited, that he does not believe in the right to
crush the rebellion. Mr. Green Clay Smith,
Of kentucky, offered this preamble and reso-
luton:
WHEREAS, 4 most desperate, wicked, and
bloody rebellion exists within the jurisdiction
d The Uni,ed States. and the safety and Sc
curity Of personal liberty depend upon its u
Ter aud absolute extinction ; therefore,
ReyoZesd That il is the political, civil, moral
aud sacred duty Of the people to meet it,
asht it, and forever destroy it.
This passed with but 16 nays; among them,
Harris, Long, Pendleton, VOORHEES, and Fer
uandO w God.
Three resolutions were offered in the House,
Decembe II, '63. The first declared for the
prosecution of the war MIR. PendIeton voted
squarely against it'd other Democrats with
him. The second resolution was as follows
That we hold it to be the duty of Con
gress to pass all necessary bills to supply men
aud money, and the duty of the people to rem
der every aid in their power to the constituted
authorities OF the Government in the crushing
out of .he rebellion, and bringing the leaders
thereof to condign punishment.
This resolution was agreed to-yeas l53,
nays 1, Harris of Maryland. Mr.. Psndleton
lodged the uo,e, although he had just voted on
the preceding resolution, and appears imme-
diatey afterward voting on the next.

Democratic Rally to the Chicago Convention.
By KRIS. n. r. HAYNES.
A1R-s.Bonapars's Harch.
We are in a tight place, and what shall We do!
From a couple of evils we cannot chose two:
But wen stuck to our party, as ii we were ticks,
For all the world knows that we're in a bad fix.
But the first thing We do, is 90 nothing at all,
For if can't rule, then the nation shall fall;
we'H grumbIe at everything, and put on the sulks,
Though the truth Of the matter is, we're cowardly
skulks.
And the oopperhead party has now got to s.rnix'
With the 'sBack Aboiitionists' with all their 'sbad
tricks:''
But the Democrat party shall still be the name,
Ne odds about principles. 5 all just the same.
Wen stick to our party, and that mighty cool,
Though all the world knows that act ike fool;
And the old Constitution wen still highly prize,
Though it hangs every T4IroR as hign as the Skies
Wen go to Chicago, ''rag, tag, and bob-taI,"
We Will take all along there FOR lear that fail;
But as for principles, we don't care a fig,
The main spoke the wheel is the wonderful "nig.''
They talk about washington-and who pray is her
But an old fogy at best, as soon you shall see;
And what is our country? Why nothing Al all
If the Democrat party and slavery fall.
If we don't own Niger, and amt worth a dime.
We Will croak, aud we'u croak. and we'H croak all
the time
No odds what's the Platform, its all just the same
The democrat party shall still be the name
Then copperheads rally, big effort make,
For you that party and savery's at stake:
But the niger, the Niger, no odds who We send,
It's our Alpha, Omega, beginning and ent.
Wen show the Blue Yankees some wonderful tricks
For wen all vote together, On both sides Of Dix;
Old Jen. is the man, just the for the times
Fer our party the same on both sides the lines.
We will keep mp the war, no odds who is lost,
And to break up the nation wen pile up the cost;
We don't care larthing fo- our country SO dear,
For the Democrat party is all that wo ''keer,"
We've 7vatcned over the border, and keep watching
stiH.
For something TO up. we hope that there will;
Perhaps in cur armies many thousands be slain,
Bat what is their loss there viii be clear gain
Let US pray for our armies, !sut pray for defsat,
For if they're successful We surely are beat:
And then there's the Ilgger, as sure as he's Tree,
Wen be sent 10 the sod Scratch, ,, where we all ought
to be.

CaMINa OVER.

Our exchanges is full of cheer from all parts.
Men who have taken no part in the elections
for years, are coming out for Lincoln and
johnson. Newspapers heretofore neutral and
independent, are hosting the banner. The
following is taken from the Lancaster (Pa) }
Evening Express:
1t is only upon extraordinary occasions that
we place ticket at the head of our editorial
columns. We regard the impending Presiden-
tial election as such an occcasion-on which
demands the uneqvocal support of every in
dependent loyal journal, as well as every pat
riotic citizen. The Express, although entirely
independent of all party organizations, is an
organ of principles of the great National par
ty, whose mission is to wrest the nation from
the peril into which it was plunged by the
traitors who had secured control over the Gov
ernment under the last Democratic Admins
tration The men whose names appear at the
head Of this column we have accepted and full
Iy endorse as the representatives of these
principles. We therefore nail the national
and county Union tickest TO our masthead;
where they will remain until the candidates
are triumphantly elected by loyal and patri-
otic people.

How to PlOw Among Tress.

A gentleman writing TO the Farmers Club
of the American Institute, gives the follow
iug method of plowing among trees in rows :
Hitch the traces full length directly to the PlOw
then take crooked stick, like piece Of old
scythe snath, two aud half feet long, sharpen
each end so it will go into the Inks Of the
trace chains; then put it under the horse just
forward Of his hiud legs and stick each end in
the chains then get stre,cher about eight
inches long, and put it as close to the plow az
you cani this will give the horse plenty Of
room Tor his hiud feet, and he can walk righg
against The tree or bushes and never ipjure
them.

Is MCCLELLAN An ARnLl1InKIs1I

The Democracy have had go much to say
against Mr.. Lincoln for his acts looking to
the freedom of slaves in rebel States, that we
ask them 10 look at the record of Mcclellan
on the subject OF freeing the negroes. In bis
letter to the President, from Harrison's Land
ing, July Z, 1862, he used The following lan-
guage:
''Slaves, contraband under the act of Con-
gress, seeking military protection, should re-
cieve il The right of the Government to ap-
propriate permanently TO its own service
claims TO slave labor, should be asserted, and
the right of the owner to compensation there
TOR should be cOgnized."
This principle might be extended, upon
grounds of military necessity and security, to
all The slav YES within particular State, thus
working manumission in such State and n
Missouri, perhaps in Western Virginia also,
and possibly even in Maryland, the expeden-
cy Of such a measure is only a question of
time"
"A system of policy thus constitutional and
conservative, and per vaded by the influence of
Christianity and freedom, would receive the
support Of almost all true loyal men, would
deeply impress the rebel masses and all for
eign nations, and it might be humbly hoped
that it would commend itself to the favor oil
the Almighty"
So it seems that Mcclellan was in favor OF
freeing all the Slaves in the States of Missou-
ri, Western Virginia and Maryland "upoR
grounds of military necessity" That is ex-
actly the ground upon which Mr.. Lincoln is
sued his proclamation of emancipation-.'m
tary necessity" and by virtue of his position
as Commander in-chief OF the military forces
Of the United States
we suppose that letter is part of the record
of his public life

Cheap Paint.

We think that farmers will fnd the follow
ing profitable for house or fence paint -
Skim milk, two quarts; fresh Stacked lime
eight ounces linseed oil six ounces; white Bur
gundy pitch two ounces Spanish white three
pounds The lime is to be Stacked iE water,
exposed to the air, and then mixed with about
oue-fourth milk the oil in which the pitch is
Dissolved added, little at q time, then tho
rest of the milk, and afterwards the Spanish
white. This is sufficient for twenty-seven
square yards two coats. This is for a white

produced. Thus. if a cream color is desired,
in place of part of the Spanish white use the
