MAKING SAURKRAUT.-As several
ladies within the past two weeks have
desired US to repubGsh our recipe for
making this much esteemed dish by
many persons, we herewith comply
with their request, in order that it may
be in time for this years crop of cab
bages. 1t is this: :: In the first place
let your ''stand," holding from half
barrel to a barrel, be thoroughly scald-
ed out; the cutter, the tub and the
stamper also well scalded. Take off
all the outer leaves of the ccbbage.
halve them, remove the heart, and pro-
ceed with the cutting. Lay some
clean leaves at the bottom of the stand,
sprinkle with handful of salt, fill in
half bushel of the cut cabbage, stamp
gently until the juice just begins to
make its appearance, then add another
handful of salt, and so on until the
stand is full. Cover over with cabbage
leaves, place on top clean board fit
ting the space pretty well, and on the
top of that stone weighing twelve or
fifteen pounds. Stand away in a cool
place, and when hard freezing comes
on remove to the cellar. 1t will be
raadv for uSa I'm c.oD, f,,,r ., ,;-1
The cabbage should be cut tolerablv
coarse. The savoy variety makes the
best article, but it is only half as pro-
ductive as the Drumhead and Flat
Dutch.-GeTmantocn Telegraph.

% d. .aH B..
The following letter was written by Cen
eral Grant FIVE years ago, in response to an
invitation from the Memphis Chamber of
Commerce to complimentary dinner at the
close Of his great Tennessee campaign:
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. %, 1868.
Gentlemen I have received copy of the
resolutions, passed by the ''loyal citizens of
Memphis, at meeting held at the rooms of
the Chamber of Commerce, Aug. Is, 1863"
rendering me.a public reception. ~
In accepting this testimonial, which do
at great sacrifice of my personal feelings,
I simply desire to pay a tribute to the first
public exhibition in Memphis of loyalty to
the Government which represent in the
Department of Tennessee. I should dislike
to refuse, for considerations of personal con-
venience, to acknowledge, anywhere or in
any form, the existence of sentiments which
I have SO long and so arolently desired to
see manifested in this Department. The
stability of this Government and the unity
of this nation depend solely on the cordial
support and the earnest loyalty of the peo-
pile. While, therefore, thank you sincerely
ward myself, am profoundly gratifed at
this public recognition in the city of Mem.
phis of the power and authority of the UNI
ted States. 4iqa hrr '4 ii ~ ~
! thank you, too, in the name of the noble
army which have the honor to command.
1t is composed of men whose loyalty has
been proved by their deeds of lieroism and
their willing sacrifices of life and health.
They will rejoice with me that the miserable
adherents of the rebellion, whom their hayo-
nets have driven from this fair land, are be-
ing replaced by men who acknowledge hu.
man liberty as the only true foundation of
human government. May your efforts to re-
store your city to the cause of the Union be
as successful as have been theirs to reclaim
it from the despotic rule of the rebellion.
/ have the honor to be, gentlemen, your
obedient servant, .r.-.3 i,as. W

State to sccede?" did not You are on a

these:
Ialways opposed secession it meant
war; and the moment 1t began. told the
people to put their houses in order, and to
prepare for gigantic struggle. In the
winter of 1860 81, went to Cuba. On my
return in March, 1861, found the Wing
leaders getting up a silly clamor tor Mid
die Confedcracy. said this was delusion
and snare; and that our only hope was
for all to go together; forget party; do our
whole duty in square out fight, and trust
the result to God. AT Oxford, Miss, while
visiting brother, 1 was serenaded, and
speech was called for-I gave my views
briefly as above. 1 did the same thing on
my return to North Carolina. These views
were perverted in the interest of secession.
Mississippi had then already gone out. Mr..
Davis was at Montgomery. and all, to any
but a bigot, told the conflict before US.
Twas always a Federalist. A mere boy

Clay Wing, for Gen. Jackson, when the old
Hero electrified the country with the bold
and patriotic declaration "The Federal
Union; it must be preserved!" My first
public speech lin 1S42 at college, was tin
defence of the old Federal party" And up
to the last moment l deplored the theory OF
secession as the source of all our woes. l

ma; and to an intense desire, to prevent
conflict among ourselves This was, of all
things to he dreaded, as the result in Ten

me will bear witness to my intense devotion
to the peace and order of society. In this
spirit, have ever written and spoken. |

avoid even the possibility of collision
among our own people.

of rousing demonstrations and immense

there is still more telling work going on at

this act of treachery, she shouts aloud to

entrance. Fort Pillow Forrest, rashly au-
dacious among the first applies the incendi-
aries torch to q collection of Bibles, spell
ling-books, arithmetics, globes, and other
paraphernalia of the school room, emblem

vance Of Seymour, appears grimly vicious,
sword in hand, ready for any sanguinary
work. Seymour himself, breast-plated with
the Ku Klux insignia, and bearing aloft the
red, white and red flag of the ''lost cause"
while he brandishes the chains of chattel
slavery, stands in the front rank. Hoffman
holds aside the curtains of the pcnetralia,
that all may obtain better view. Lee,
sword in hand, hangs back, expecting to be
invited to the symposium of the Democracy,
and conveniently near, so as to be ready to
answer the summons at an instant's notice.
A bloodhound breeder, penetrated with en-
thusiasm, stands, in the dim distance, in
vociferous admiration over the scene. Other
congenial spirits are to be seen in the near
distance, hurrying to swell the triumphs of
disloyalty. Andrew johnson is typified as

pandemoniac hubbub, presses his left hand
to his delinquent hair, like one awak ening
in amaze out of some hideous dream.

The New York. Irish People, hitherto
strongly Democratic, i'll its last weeks issue
gives its reasons for supporting Grant They
are, first, that the Democratic party is allied
to the Anglo Confederate party in the South;
second, that the Southern planters formed a
real aristocracy as fragrant as that of Europe;
third, Revcrdy johnson, the Democratic
Minister to England, has assured the Eng.
lish in advance that whoever may be elected
President will be friend to England /;
fourth, the Democratic party are now tories

reprisal clause in the original bill, while
seven Republicans voted for it; sixth, be-
cause the Democratic party is mainly re-

CONDITION OF THE GREAT DEMOCRATIC
STATE.-It has been ascertained that in not
more than forty counties of Kentucky con-
siderably less than one half the whole num-
ber-forty-eight murders were committed
during the last year. In seventeen instances
no arrests we're made. Nineteen negroes
were killed by white men, and in no single
instance has white man been punished by
State court for the crimet In most the
cases, a negro was killed, that was all, and
no officer took the trouble even to inquire
into the matter, much less to arrest the gull
ty party. Itused to be said that Kentuc-
khan was "half horse, half alligator" but
such record as the above would seem to
show that the alligator in his composition
had about eaten up the horse. But the sug-
gestivs and pertinent inquiry is this: If the
clear preponderance of the Democratic party
in any Southern State produces such fearful
criminality and denial of Justice as are here
shown in Kentucky, what would be the ef-
feet of National Democratic triumph Let
the people learn from this one sufficient ex-

The Copperheads Advising the Rebels.


We learn from an authentic source that
Tyler, editor of the Mobile Register, has re-
ceived letter from Manton Marble, editor
of the New York World, counseling a change
of tone on the part of Southern politicians,
and stating that hundreds of Democrats in
New York city alone were daily going over
to the Republican party in consequence of
the extreme opinions and bitter feelings
manifested throughout the South Mr. Mar
BILE said that the people of the North were
apprehensive of revolution, and that unless
the Southern people should moderate their
tone it would not be possible for the Demo-
Gratis to carry the State of New York.
We are informed, on authority which we
consider entirely reliable, that the editor of
prominent Democratic paper in Cincinnati
Just before the Maine election wrote to a
leading Democratic editor in the South,
whose name we purposely withhold, giving
advice similar to that of Mr.. Marble, and adj
hitting in the same connection that if the
Republicans carried Maine by majority of
nIoro than five thousand the Democrats
could not hope to carry Ohio Many prom.
inent Southern politicians have lately re-
ceived letters of the same kind, begging them
to be more prudent in their conduct an,,
warning them that by exasperating the peo.
pie of the North they are running the Demo
cratic party WASH Chronicle. .-r...r
