(Slgheu) L. II. SHERlDAN.
Major General commanding.

ssa. Gan officer of the g9th Ohio
who arrived here yesterday from the front,
states that nearly all the Ohio troops with
Sherman voted at the lats election; that
they were forced to do so while on the
march and subject all day to an attack
from the rebels, The polls were held in
the ambulancos following the regiments.
The men were sent to the rear by squads
to fight the enemy at home with ballots,
which they would do with a hearty good
will and then return to their positions.
and with bullets open out again upon the
foe before them with renewed yigor and
increased zeal. The scene was inspiring,
and will never be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. Mcclellan was the war cry
of the rebels in their attacks on that day. J"

Kneninr Wmtar Pears.

Mr.. ii. e. Hooker, Of Western
New York, 1--WE believe this is his res
idencc,) who has had much expert
cnce in cultiyating and keeping pears
until late in the winter, and even in
to March, states that he packs them
in barrels or haf barrels, and places
them in a barn-cellar. Some cellars,
he says, are too damp, which rots
them others too dry, which sMriycls
them and that it can be asccrtained
only by the experiment, the situation
which is exactly adapted. They
should, however, be kept whore the
atmosphere is always above the frcez-
ing point. lie does not approve of
changing the fruit to a warmer tenn
pcrature for the purpose Of ripcning,
and yet says that retarding their ri
pening to too long period will injurc
their flavor.
So far as our own experience ex-
tends Mr.. Hooker's views are gener-
ally correct. We have tried various
modes of keeping pears, and cannot
say that we entirely succeeded with
any of them. We had constructed
dark closet, filed with shelves, where
it was dry and cool, but never FROST
ed, the temperature being as even as
possiblewithout artificial means. The
fruit was carefully placed upon cot
ton. Every attention was bestowed
upon it; and the result was that some
Of the fruit rotted, some dried up,
some was Aavorless. Also, certain
varieties said to keep not later than
November, were in fine condition near
January. The Easter Buerre" va
riety rotted or dried up in December
and January and so on.
We next tried to keep them in
partially but airy closet in the cellar,
where the temperature 'is:from 40 to
80 through the winter-snd the re-
suit scas Just the same--some rotted,
some shriyeled up, and none kept be-
yond the middle of January. We
next tried them wrapped separately
in paper, packed in barrels, and pla-
ced in an empty ice-house. The re-
suit was that there were but half a
dozen specimens that had not lost
their flavor the rest were perfectly
tasteless, and had to be thrown away.
W" next year put the barrels in the
house-cellar, and with no better sue
cess. The next year the fruit was
wrapped in paper, packed in boxes,
and buried more than foot under
ground in dry soil-where they all
rCt.ed.
We know of several persons who
keep pears until May, retaining their
favor, in arched cellarsLin closets
in the cellar-in garrets-in closets
in the house-but we have thus far
failed everywhere.
We believe that generally pears
can be kept best in dark drawers, in
a freless room of the house, laid on
soft, and covered up.

REBEL FINANcEs.---Tho Rich
mond Enquirer, of Saturday last
has a leading article on the condition
of the Confederate finances, which
opens in the following lively strain
"Money has ceased to be a stand-
ard of value in the Confederacy.
The promissary notes of the Govern
mcnt cannot buy supplies. or labor.
Great manufacturers hold out such
inducements to purchasers who will
pay in produce, that ever the strin-
gcstorders Of the War Department,
forbidding detailed farmers to bar
ter their crops for indispensable ma
chincry, have become powerlcss. Me-
chanics refuse to work for anything
but provisions. Teachers demand a
pittance in eatables or a small por-
ton in Treasury Notes. Worst of
all, Government itself offers an i'm
mense premium on all taxes paid in
Kind by assessing provisions furnish
cd for that purposcat the highest mar

The Enquirer is anxious to know

dition of affairs. We do not wonder

CHANGE OF BAsE.-Gen. Price.

CHANGE OF BASE. Gen. Price, il
seems, says he has come to Missouri
this time ''to stay" The very same
observation was made by Forrest,
some weeks ago, when he entered
Tennessee with sixteen thousand
men. 81 have come north of the
Tennessee river to stag" he remark
epto one of our officers who had an
interview with him. He did stay
but not long. When Rosseau got af-
ter him, he decamped out of Tennes-
see, and considered himself very for
tunate to- get away. We expect an
attempt at the repitition of the same
inanmuvre on the part of Price, when
Rosecrans gets his forces fairly in
motion against him; but we hope
+" Rosy" will compel old Price to stay.
