and add three spooniuls of good yeast or yeast
cakes. Place the cask in a warm place, and in
ten or fifteen days add sheet of coulmon wrap
ping paper, smeared with molassss, aud torn into
narrow strips, and you will soon have good vine
gar. Any sweet fruits roots, such as fgs beets,
water melon juice, the skimmings of the sugar
boiler; &c, add to the bulk and quantity, when
exposed to the oxygen of the air for the acetous
fermentation to be effected The scientific mode
of making vinegar rapidly is to pass the liquor
repeatedly through barrels perforated at the sides
with holes, and filled with wood shavings, 90 that
it may be thoroughly permeated by the oxygen OF
the atmosphere.
The unripe canes can be used for making syrup
and alcohol, but will not yield sugar The alco-
hol produced by only one distation is nearly des-
titute of foreign flavor, having an agreeable taste
somewhat resembling noyau, being much less fiery
than rum. A beverage analogous to cider is also
made from the fermented juice of the sorgho.
1t should oe recollected that to make sugar, sy-
rup, vinegar alcohol cider, the juice Of the sor-
gho must be first defeated or clarified by lime
(three Of lime in five or six times its weight
of water to each gallon Of uice) aud heat aud then
filtered. At the proper temperature, and with the
addition Of little brewers yeast, or yeast cakes,
the juice will undergo the vincus fermentation in
from three to FIVE days. Il.

ALL FEMALES ARE NOT WOMEN.

There is something noble, glorious in woman
She is the impersonation Of spiritual beauty. But
all human females are not women. There
scores Of them who are only female humanities;
and scores more who only ladies. A lady and
woman are two different things. Ooe is u1ade
of the hands of fashion; the other the handwork
of God through the nstrumentaty Of useful en-
ployment. A lady is parlor ornamedt, walk
ing show w-gallery, a mistress of tongue-ted eti-
quette A woman is a consecrated Intelligence
a love baptised-a hand employed in the work Of
good. To be a woman rcGGc1s eIc-i;3a Gai pru-
dence. Womans virtue blossom 10 tue .-.4 Of
industry Her fruits ripen in the bouph ~ toll.
Her treasure grows on tho tree OF Labor. Ii re-
quires labor to develop men; why should it not to
develope woman!
Young ladies should not be made to feel that to
be useful would be degrading No matter if they
art-rch, they need employment. Woman has her
part to act in life Why should we excuse her,
for her riches? Idleness is the ruin Of her body
and mind Employment will give both activity
and strength What torment to live life OF
idleness. / do not contend for degrading toll
But for honorable, mind-d developing, sOulredeem-
ing, heart-adorniDg employment. Our powers are
made for usefulness; Why not develope them? One
idle woman is a base -bee-a nuisance, eech, a
moth. | knoy s0ne young women have rehued
ideas Of decacy. Sometimes Imagine il vulgar TO
be useful that delicate hands are evidence Of lady
ship. They ought to know that oitimes, delicate
hands are evidence of a soft head. LadysbiP, and
womanhood, are two things. Womanhood is put
on by industry in the pursuit Of good 1t is made
in the field Of noble employment. Thca let US all
try to be useful for if ever there was timc 10
ubich we should be useful, it is now. Let be
useful, energetic, and show to the world that we
arc not dependent other resources for what we
can make our selves. Let every lady 80 10 work;
let none be idle while country is struggling for
her freedom; let US try who car do the best.

THE CONFEDERATES SPRING MINE

Some few days since, il was discovered that the
enemy were mining in front of Gracie's Brigade,
Johnstons Division, near centre Measures
were Immediately taken to counteract this move
ment, and gallery" was soon run, and mine Dr.
ranged beneath The enemy's gallery" Yesterday
at twelve o'clock was fixed upon to give the enemy
"blow up" but the sensation did not take place
until half past six p. AT this hour, some of
our men went out and effected an exchange of
newspapers with the enemy, and the latter, to the
number of 25 or 30 clustered around the lucky
man to hear the latest news from Dixie. The sig
nal was now given, the fuse lighted, and in less
time than it takes to write it, up went the solid
earth to the height of about 40 feet, carrying the
news gatherers along with it. Others in the vicn.
ity fed to the breastworks, badly frightened, and
communicated the alarm. The enemy immediate
ly opened their batteries, and their infantry mann
ed the breasworks Our artillery replied vigor-
ousy, but no charge was ever intended TO be mado
by US, and consequently the enemy were greatly
disappointed. They doubt hoped to serve US as
we had served them Saturday, but the rcbels
were too smart for brother Jonathan this time.
Our experiment accomplished all that it waa ex.
pected to accomplish aud our officers expressed
themselves highly satisfied at the result 1t has
at least efectuay erpLoded The "coal 1iggers" ef-
forts at this particular point and taught the enemy
that while be may "mine," we can countermine,
and that "sapping and mining" is game at which
two eau most efectually play.

CHANGE OF TERMS.

In consequence of the rapid advance in the price OF
paper and printing materials generally, find it ne
cessary to again advance terms We fix the rates
for the present at $40 for six months $40 for the
year. We are now paying than twice much
for paper as we paid months ago. We have been
wearing out our type and machinery without making
enough to replace them although list of subscr-
bers has nearly doubled within the last Is months
But if any persons should think rates too high
we hope they will remember that willing to
trade in the old way" We will put the paper atthe
old price, two dollars, and allow old prices for prodice
We will take two bushels of corn, wheat, peas
for one years subscription. Is not that fair
EyH The cross mark a paper indicates that the
time paid for has expired or soon will expire.

THE NORTH CAROLINA ELEcTIoN.-To every
man who really loves-h country, the news from
this election will be refreshing would be the
tidings of great victory in Georgia or on the Ap-
pomattox The old North State has crushed trea-
son like an egg-shell in her mighty hand. Here
after let no man imagine aught against the staunch
fidelity of her adhesion to her sister States, or her
zeal in prosecuting tho war which we are was,ng
for the salvation Of US all 1t is astonishing what
a noise small faction can make with a newspaper
or two at its disposal A little knot of disappont-
ed politicians had half persuaded the rest of the
Confederacy that old North Carolina was untrue to
the cause But she has put end forever to all
doubt upon that subject. Her response to the no
bic army which she has in the field is worthy OF
that army and of herself All honor to the glori-
Gus old State-f'ichnaond Dispatch.
