To the Editor Of the Press:
Political news in this section of the "OLd Do
nliniOR" is scarce. Nothing OF note has trans
pired in the political arena of Virginia.
We are rejoicing in the receipt of the news
OF the late glorious triumphs OF loyalty and
treason in the North and West, and are wait
Ing patiently with renewed encouragement
to-day (slnce the news from West Virginia, for
the maj overthrow of the party of revolution
and disunon.
The news of the late elections has wrought
great change among the people Of this seq
tion. The loyalsts are now hopeiul and iubi-
liant, the disloyal quite the reverse. Many Of
them, however, try 10 smooth the matter over
and console themselves by saying Grant loill
not make a bad President dny lody and he man
dlcetce the Radicals" DC. They clearly see and
generally conceive Throughout the State that
the election OF Grant ans Coliax is now "un
ydtt dcconlp6" and are toning down in their
abuse of f"cdrpet bdggers" and "scdl[d1udg0ers"
ana the Congress OF the United States aud the
hepuohcan party in general. plainly see
we are to have a large number OF "elepenth
hour men" now that they see that the Demo-
cIatlc party is in its death struggle
Virginia of course, will not be able to take
part III the forthcoming election, though be-
fore the late elections it was recommended by
,ome OF the leading papers that an election be
held any way. But now not even the Presi-
dents late order to the Military C0Dnldndarts Of
me south seems to have any effect upon the peo
pie, and it is agreed all around TO remain
quiet aud take NO part in what they term Dis
trlct No. l. Mastery inactiuity" is the word
now going the rounds. l am inclined to
think it would have been quite the reverse, IL
the late elections had been decided favorably
to Seymour and Blair.
Joytdlly anticipating the grand result on

1t is supposed by many, and perhaps by
most people, that coal ashes are good for
nothing as manure; but we entertain diff
ferent opinion. In fact we know from act ual
experience that they are valuable as a mulch
about gooseberry bushes, and if good there,
we cannot see why they may not be valuable
in other places. No doubt they may be i'm
proved in various ways as fertilizers. The
Utica Herald says they can be improved by
being mixed with lime. Cover up one bushel
of lime in its hottest state in every cart load
of ashes, and after it has stood ten or twelve
hours the lime will be entirely Stacked The
whole is then to well mixed together and
turned over two or three times. when the Gin
ders, or half burned pieces of coal, which
would otherwise be of no use, will be reduced
to as fine a powder as the lime ITSELF But
in order to obtain such result, the coal ashes
should be kept perfectly dry. Thus prepared
they are said to improve swampy soil very
materially and in very short time.
Incorporated with night soil, they rabsorb
its effluvia, but to be thus used efectually
they must be dry and fresh, not those which
have been exposed to the weather and be-
come saturated with rains. The farmers in
the vicinity of this city would do we'll to col
lect coal ashes and try the experiment 1t is
painful to see how much valuable manure
runs to waste in this city every year. 1t
seems to us much OF it might be saved by our
farmers and at an expense which would fall
much short of its real value. Farmers. your
lands need manure, and why not attempt to
save some of that large mass that finds its
way to the docks every year?
AGRICOLA.
The Portland daily press., 1868-10-30


Ifpeople will drink something besides pure
water which vas created to quench the
thirst OF both man and beast, perhaps it may
be interesting to know how to keep cider in a
puie state. A writer in the North Western
Farmer gives some information upon this
subject. He is quite positive man and says !:
Il speak what l know therefore we pre-
sumo his remarks are entitled to credit. He
says: ''Cider, if taken when first made and
brought to boiling point and canned pre-
cisely as fruit is canned, will keep from year
to year, without any change of taste. Canned
up in this way in the fall, it NAV be kept a
half dozen years or longer, as good as when
first made. 1t is better that the cider be set
tied aud poured off from the dregs, and when
brought to boiling heat the scum that
gathers on the surface taken off; and the only
precsution necessary to the preservation Of
the cider is the sealing it up air tight when
boiling hot"
No doubt, apple juice treated as above di-
rected will remain about the same as when it
comes from the press; but we very much
question whether old topers and hard cider
drinkers would esteem it the right kind OF
beverage for them; such are seldom seen
about cider mills sucking the juice Of the ap-
pie through straws as children are often seen
doing. No, they want the juice exposed to
the air awhile so that alcohol shall be mixed
with it, and then it produces that kind of
"fuddle" they like so well. Preserved accor-
ding to the above directions, it would be a
very insipid drink for them, but we think it
would be a more wholesome beverage for
them than it is after fermentation takes place
We approve the mode of preserving cider
recommended by this writer, and hope our
readers will try the experiment. 1t would
make very pleasant and wholesome drink.

Recent Publications.

Messrs. Lee & Shepard, of Boston, have
just published, under the title of The Pdnlpas
and the Andes, book of travels of more than
ordinary interest, and OF character quite
unique. 1t records the incidents and observa-
tions of a thousand miles walk across the
continent of South America, undertaken by
youth only seventeen years of age, who on set
ting out upon his journey was possessed OF a
cash capital of Just torty-fve dollars He sail
ed in merchant vessel from Boston TO Buenos
Ayres, and walked from there to Valparaiso.
OF course this energetic and daring young
ster is Yankee. His name is Nathaniel H.
Bishop, aud he is native of Medford, Mass
By dint of perseverance, backed by an enthusi-
astc love of nature and of adventure, he not on
ly accomplished a task which would have SEEM
ed impossible to many older than him 4selfbut by
his shrewdn ness and closer nessof observation and
industry in the collection of facts he CLEANS
results from this journey which are valuable
in the same way as those of more mature and
scieE tific travellers. His journal, which is ed
tied by Mr.. Ed. A Samuels, the well-known
naturalist, is very interesting reading. We
may add that though he started with but $45,
he returned home with $50; thus proving that
for lad who wishes to see the world. energy

OF the deeper motives and passions of humani-
