FOREIGN NEws.-The Emperor Napoleon
has been making another speech, in which,
whilst he alluded to past reverses as dark
spots on the horizon, he spoke encouraglnely
Of the prospect of continued peace. 1t is also
reported that the Government Of France has
given assurance of peace TO Prussia, that pa
ci6c note will soon be issued. An Austrian
official paper denies that the subject of South
German Confederation was discussed or even
afluded to at the Salzburg Conference. The
resolutions of the u. S. Congress, expressing
sympathy for the Cretans, recently presented
to the Sultan by our Minister, have created a
sensation st Constantinople. Advices from
Brazil, via Lisbon, report chat the Allied army
hal succeeded in crossing the Upper Parana
into Paraguay, thus hanking the stronghold of
Currupaity, and great battle was looked for.
The position taken by General Grant in the
Cabinet had caused speculation in United
States securities.
SWEET Corn FOR WINTER As this is about
the time to commence putting up sweet corn
for winters use, the method Of curing it will
probably be acceptable to many OF our readers.
,iet your corn when the grains are in prime Or
der for the table-when the corn is tenderest
and the juices are sweetest. Boil the corn a
Jew minutes (uot above fVe)--tbree is better
than i've Then cut out and lay away to dry.
Take any method that will soonest dry your
corn being Away careful not to burn it, and
DO not lay in humps, or too close together when
drying, crit will soon mould Around stove,
or where there is fire. is a good place, always
avoiding dampness, steam, etc. Put in sacks,
and hang 1t away in a dry place, and your corn
is fit for next winters use. In using, you are
to restore it ss near as possible to the original
state. This is best done by first washing it to
get out dust and husk, aud then thoroughly
soaking in water, using the same to boil it in. I"

ALEXANDRIA.
SATURDAY EVENING, AUGUST 81.

The Richmond Wing, in an article on the
result of the recent registration, and the vote,
in this State, says: "We are warranted in
placing the aggregate vote at 100000. OF
these, 10000 are whites and 10000 colored.
The law of Congress authorizing the holding OF
a State Convention fixes the apportionment ac-
cording to the number of delegates which the
counties were entitled to send in 1860 to the
House of I'elegales The fact that some of
the counties now a part Of West Virginia were
then Incorporated with border counties of Tir-
ginia as legislative districts, will render the APP
portionment somewhat difficult, but We feel safe
in placing the whole number at one hundred
and four members. There will be difficulty
in the apportionment of representation among
the various counties, owing to the change
brought about by the acknowledgements of freed
men. For instance, anterior to the war, Eliza
beth City had only little over 800 voters );
TOW it has 400 negro and 800 white voters
Richmond city has now 1870 colored and
j,05S white voters The same change is OBJ
servatle in the returns of many other counties
and towns. AS a consequence, while the ag-
gregate OF the State representation will remain
the same. the apportionment as far as the
counties, especially those of Eastern Virginia
are concerned, will be materially altered

WILLow-WARE.-It is a surprising fact that
upward Of Ave thousand different articles in COM
mon use aro manufactured of tho ordinary willow.
The American willow is probably as good as tho
German and French varieties for all practical
purposes, but IN insufficient quantity Of it 10
grown, and hence no depend chiefly on the foreign
supply. Tho French aro famous for tho produc-
tions Of "fancy' articles i'll willow but tho
Germans, and especially tho Bavarians, excel in
tho general excellence Of tho work Of this kind.
They devise ell sorts Of useful eontriyances, and
display much ingenuity in inventiug curious nrtl-
c!es which arc OF particular utility, but servo to
ndorn spare corners Of apartments, or to piquo
curiosity as to the purpose for which they are in
tended.
In Bavaria, fathers hand down their knowledge
Of this art to their soDe and when tho Sons become
fathers thcir progeny follow tho same limo OF
business. Willow-working ia fLmily affair, and
long praclice makes perfect. Expert aud nimble
fngcrs are required to split and weave tho 1.-the
willow wands into SO many shapes aa these facile
" bigger than o ady's himble but complete in all
it's paris which ia to go to tho childs nursery up
to tho ponderous hamper with the capacity OF
bushelB, there is wido leap-but tho Bayariau
worker knows how nnd when and whore to stick
bis awl and thread the willow in and out. Some
oil his work is 90 airy that breath blows 1t away
another piece ia strong enough to hold heavy
man, with no danger that he will break tho plated
HtrawH.
In this country heavy willow work is chiefly
produced-such as clothes baskets, chidren's
chairs and wagons, market-bRskets md the like,
and tho blind oxcGl in this industry. But somo
very neat and protty patterns are made in tho
Shaker settlements.
