Dried Sweet Potatoes.

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Allow me to invite your attention to recent
discovery which must prove Invaluable to the
South, now that cotton can no longer be profit
ably raised.
Cotton had been known for generations, but
only to supply the family's need, until Whit
news genius responded to worlds demand
So also the sweet potato can be grown in tabu
lo1s quantities, but its pcrishable nature con
fines it to home consumption. -
Experiments have been made, establishing
facts of great Importance relative to the sweet
potato.
A bushel, when pared with the knife, and
this wastes much, weighs 50 pounds, but when
dried only ten pounds, having lost three fourths
in bulk, and tour-flths in weight Hall a
pound, when boiled three quarters OF an hour
in an earthen vessel tin discolors) fills large
dish, in color and flavor, precisely ike the root
| on your table at this season OF the year. -
| Twenty cents dish would not be considered
high, and yet it gives three dollars and seventy
cents to the planter, for ten cents will pay the
cost of drying, and twenty cents that OF boxing
and freight to market. Now strike off one half
for margin and merchants profit, and did cot
| ton ever pay like this? when you consider that
uYo uuuuICu DllollCIo w VIZ ">i1 i'' ""'' -"
common.
You are aware that the sweet potato has un
| dergone chemical change few weeks alter
| being dug At first it is dry and mealy and an
universal favoritc; but then it becomes soft and
soggy, and is rejected by many. 1t is evident
that no such change can take place in the spec
linen enclosed, hard as flint stone This deli,
cious vegetable, therefore, can now be placed
on the table every day Of the year in It's best
condition.
| There must be a great foreign demand, TOR III
Europe it is scarcely known, and even IN our
own country, West and North, it Is seldom
seen.
Youwl also find specimen Of dcscated Irish

| they came forth almost black, and gave it W
| in despair but subsequent reflection suggested
that when boiled they became whitc-what the
difference ?-Accorlingly they were submitted
| for lew minutes to steam, IN order that the
outer surface might be cooked, to form NIL
ciIlage impervous to the atmosphere. The re-
| suit was very gratifying they appeared bright
and almost semi transparent. When boiled
and compared with Others you can perceive
no difference.
1t is evident they will keep during the long,
est voyage. How valuable for sea stores, with
only one-tourth the original bulk, and one-filh
| the original weight! How important, too, IN a
sanitary point of view, for there is no scurVy
with potatoes twice q week.

DOMESTIC RECIPES. -We copy the following
from the American Agriculturist contributed
by lsdy:
Corn Griddle Cakes.--Three cups Of meal,
one cup of -four, one cup Of sour cream, one
cup of sugar, three eggs. we'll beaten, a little
saleratus and salt, thinned with milk.
How to Freshen Salt Fish.-Many persons
who are in the habit Of freshening nackerel or
salt fish never dream that there is right and
wrong way to do it. Any who has seen
works knows that salt falls to the bottom
Just so it is in the pan where your mackerel
and white fish lies soaking; and as it lies with
skin side down, the salt will fall to the skin,
and remain there when if placed with the flesh
side down, the salt falls to the bottom of the
pan, and the fish comes out freshened as it
should; in the other case it is nearly rs salt rs
when put in If you do not believe this, test
the matter for yourselves,
How to Stew Oysters. We suppose that nine
ont Of ten houseleepers will contradict us point
blank, in statement that nine out of ten of
them do not know how to stew dish OF oys-
tiers. BY the ordinary routine that nearly eve.
ry one follows, either tho oysters are stewed
and shriveled out Of all semblancc to them
solves in shape, size or flavor, or else the soup
and ''thickening" has s. raw taste that spolls IT.
Here is the right method. Try it once, and
we'll warrant you won't need telling the second
time. PicE: the oysters out Of the juice thick
ening milk or water of which the soup is to be
made, until it is thoroughly cooked; then drop
the oysters in and just as the cooled soup b.
gins to show signs Of simm ering, empty all out
together, and YOU will have rich soup and
plump oysters, luscious enough to make you
think you new er tasted real oysters before,

As light is an interesting subject, and "kcro-

ing fluid, the careless use Of which sometimes
leads TO such dire consequences, it seems to be
right and proper that the public should be ap-
prised of all the mishaps Of the sort, together
with the causes tending thereto. An accident
occurred in this vicinity a short time since,
which was near being serious. A lighted glass
lamp had been placed on the mantle piece, with
the oil very nearly exhausted, and about nine
o'clock p. H., the lady of the house WAS in the
act of putting out the light by turning the wick
down, when the lamp exploded, with loud re-

GAN OFFICIAL STATEMENT. 1.-The second
instalment of the life of Gen. Grant, by his
father, appears in the New York Ledger, from
which we extract the following:
cit was said OF him that while at West Point
he went by the name of Uncle Sam, on ac-
count of his initials, u. S. A superstitious
person might almost think there was some
thing providential about these significant mi
tials being stuck on to him, for they we're not
given to him at his christening. When the
question arose alter his birth what he should
be called, his mother and one Of his aunts pro-
posed Albert, for Albert Gallatin; another
aunt proposed Theodore his grandfather pro-
posed Hiram, because he thought that was a
handsome name His ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
mother by courtcsy-that is, his mother's step
mother--was great student OF history, and
had an enthusiastic admiration for the ancient
commander Ulysses: and she urged that the
babe should be named Ulysses. | seconded
that, and he was chlstcncd Hiram Ulysses:
but he was always called by the latter name,
which he himself preferred, when he got old
enough to know about it. But Mr.. uamcr,
knowing Mrs Grants Hamc was Simpson, and
that we had a son named Simpson, somehow
got the matter little mixed in making the
nomination, and sent the name in Ulysses S.
Grant, instead Of Hiram Ulysses Grant. My
son tried in vain, afterward, to get it set right
by the authorities; and | suppose he is now
content with his name as it stands
