....When the steamer had gone down

opened fire upon it. The steamer re-
turned the fire. and the fire between the
battery and the steamer was kept up
while the steamer vas anchored for
repairs. Meantime Colonel Wilson,
with a small party took tour guns and
landed 90 the right hand of the river.
The party marched down the river till
they were directly opposite the battery,

Much assistance was thus rendered to

STORING CABBAGEs.- Cabbages are as
easy to raise as turnips, and twice as
valuable; yet ten acres of the after are
grown to one Of the former. For dairy
cows throughout the winter, and tor
landing ewes ID spring, they are simply
Indispensable. One of the hindrances 10
the extension Of cabbage culture for cattle
feeding in winter and spring is the mis-
taken idea that they cannot be preserved
against from except 10 a barn or other
building specially prepared for them. In
another to-day we show that the crop is
oaa which can be perfectly secured ia the
field or elsewhere without much trouble
or eXpeuce.
The successful plan is as folIows:-Make
a sort of tdnd or ridge with the plough,
and make 1t pretty level at top. Upon
this land lay some straw. Then take the
cahbages, turn them upside down, and
place them (irst taking off all decayed
%leavesl about SIX abreast upon the straw
Then cover them not very tbickly, with
leaves raked up In the woods, grass, or
any other such material, ~flnging now
and then a little dirt (boughs or any
sort would be better) to prevent the
leaves or grass from being carried off BY
the wind; so chat, when the work isdone
the thing Is bed Of leaves, &c, with
cabbage roots sticking up through it.
Only put enough leaves to hide all the
| green. If frost N and prevents the
taking up OF the cabbages, roots and all,
they must be cut off close to the ground.
The root IS Of no use in the preservation.
Stored in this way, cabbages of all sous
will be found to keep perfectly good aud
fresh until April or May, or even later.
And not only do the cabbages keep bet
ter in this than in any other way, but
they are at all times ready. They are
never lacked up by frost, as often hap
pens with those covered by earth; and
they are nel er found rotttng, as is often
the case with those which are laid with
heads upwards and their roots in the
ground. Farmers Gazette.

FIsH.--lt will be an inter esting talk,
no doubt, at the State House tomorrow
evening; when State Commissioner Ste
phen g. Worthwhile tell of past mistakes,
present work, and future hopes Go by
all means to hear him. We irave lad
the biennial report of his Dept. and
must admit that it is full Of interest. and
gives stronger hopes of final success in
the experiment than we had believed
possible. The fact that our North Care
lima fisheries have had an average catch
the past year in spite of losses in SO many
other adjacent waters, and the increasing
number CT fisheries, is at least worthy OF
consideration, even if not convincing.
We opine that the defect of the &c
partmental work is largely in two direc
tons: viz-Too early turning loose Of the
young shad Il. e. before they are cid
enough to avoid the perils of iife) and
second, not carrying them far enough up
stream to retard their early escape into
the great body Of the ocean.
These be mere surmises: but il stand,
to reason that if shad spawn can be ar,i-
fcially fertilized, and Matched and
brought to Raleigh, and raised to the
dimensions of 6 inches 10 length, there
ought to be a method of utilizing thi,
process and making it Worth tens OF
millions of dollars 10 the State.
Capt. Worth's report contains special
papers on 'Oyster Planting" that have
an especial interest for North Carolina.
We see no reason why immense tracts OF
eastern lands (subject to overflow by tide
water might not be converted in Oyster
Orchards, and made to pay better, and
more safely than the turtle farms near
Morehead City, aud on Masonboro
sounds, as described in the State papers
last week.

that his zealotism is based upon patriot

not only for what it has been tand no
