A DANGEROUS COUNTERFEIT. We
have had shown us treasury note Of
the denomination Of fUe dollars, which
is probably one Of the best counter
feits yet executed. The paper is rather
inferior, and the face in the lower

The WAY THEY MAKE BUTTER IN
FRANcE.--It is we'll known that cream
may be converted into butter by sim.
ply being buried in the ground, but il
is not generally known that this
method is in common use in Norman.
dy, and some other parts of France
The method is as follows The cream
is placed in a linen bag Of moderate
thickness which is carefully secured,
and placed in hole in the ground
about foot and halt deep; it is then
covered up and left twenty.four or
twenty-five hours. When taken out,
the cream is very hard and only re-
quires beating short time with a
wooden maIlet, after which half a
glass Of water is thrown upon it,
which causes the butter to separate
from the butter milk. If the quanti-
ty Of cream intended to be converted
into butter is large, it is IL # more
than twenty-five hours in the ground.
10 winter, when the ground is frozen,
the operation is performed in a cellar,
the bag being we'll covered up with
sand. Some persons place the bag
containing the cream within second
bag, in order to prevent the chance of
any faint from the earth. This system
saves labor aud it is said to produce a
larger amount than by churning, and
Of excellent quality, and is moreover
said never to tails Society Of Arts.

ALL SAINTS DAY.-The annual
recurrence of this interesting period
in the Roman Catholic Calendar,
was appropriately celebrated yester-
day within the walls of pEglisc 81.
Joseph in our city. The services,
conducted under the auspices of the
kind and estimable pastor, were well
calculated to Undue the heart with
profound inspirations of a religious
character and to lead the soul to a
contemplation of that gloria IN cr.
celsis which we are taught is the lot
of those who, "pure in heart" and
preserving the divinity Of their ma
lures" have put off their mortal ha-
biliments and in immortality have
assembled to the Throne on High.
The preparations and arrange
ments for decorating the graves and
tombs in the Cemetery were on the
most ample scale, but as we were
hurried in order to get our paper to
press early so that cur workmen
might repair to the spot and witness
the imposing scenes and ceremonies
promised there, we are unable to
speak particularly Of them in point
of actual observation, at our present
writing. We feel well assured, how
ever, that the spectacle was such as
to touch every heart susceptible of
sense of the solemn and beautiful.

TEA CULTIVATED IN GEORGIA.
A man who has been cutivating tea
as an experiment since 1860 writes
to the Savannah Herald that most OF
bis plants grow finely, that his tea is
of good quality, and the plants will do
quite as we'll in Georgia as in their
native country. The plants require
no culture after the third year. II
we'll taken care of, by that time they
will be large enough to commence the
manufacture of tea from them. The
yield to the acre is from three to four
hundred pounds, and the plants pro
duce good crops for eighteen or twenty
years. The growth Of tea is not af
fected by dry or wet weather, or By
storms, and insects will not modest the
plants.

IMPORTANT LETTERS BETWEEN
GEMS. GRANT AND SHERMAN.
WHAT EACH THOUGHT OF THE OTHER wHES
THE LIEUTENANT GENERALsHiP WAS
RRCREATED

The following two historical letters nrn
taken from the advance sheets of Colonel
Bowman's history of "Sherman and his
Campaign" shortly to be published by G.
B. Richardson, of New York. Colonel Bow
man writes:
GENERAL GRANT TO GENERAL SHERMAN.
On the 18th Of March, 1864, at Nashville
Major General Grant received telegraph
orders to report in person at Washington.
Congress had passed all act authorizing the
appointment of a Lieutenant General to
command the armies of the United States
and the President had nominated General
Grant for the appointment. Before starting
on his journey, Grant seized his pen, and
in the very moment ofhis greatest elevation,
filled with generosity toward those others
to whose exertions he modestly chose 10
ascribe his own deserved reward, hastily
wrote these touching lines:
DEAR SHERMAN; The bill reviving the
grade of Lieutenant General in the army
has become law, and my name has been
sent TO the Senate for the place. now re-
ceive orders to report to Washington imme
diately in person, which indicates connr
nation, or likelihood of confirmation.
" l start in the morning to comply with
the order.

IN this war, in at least gaining the conf
dence OF the public, no one feels more than
how much Of this success is duo to the
energy, skill, and the harmonious putting
forth of that energy and skill, of those
whom it has been my good fortune to have
occupying subordinate positions under me
There are many officers to whom these
remarks are applicable, to greater or less
degree, proportionatc to their ability as sol.
dires; but what l want is to express my
thanks to you and Mcpherson, as tho men
to whom above all others, feel indebted for
Whatever have had of success.
"How far your advice and assistance have
been of help to me, you know. How far
your execution of whatever has boon given
you TO do entities you to the reward am
receiving, you cannot know as well as !.

express, giving it the most flattering con.
struction.

to him, and will some day, but starting in
the morning, do dot know that will find
time just now. Your friend,
"U- S. GRANT, Major General. "
GENERAL snERMAN's REPLY.
Sherman received this letter near Memphis
on the 10th of March, and Immediately re.
plied;--
"DRAR GENERAL; have your more than
kind and characteristic letter of the 4th in.

Pherson at once.
