The length of time for which the boiling is carried on determines ; the strength of the beer. As soon as the de coction has cooled down to the temperature proper for fermentation, (about 80 degrees) add fresh yeast, one ounce for the two gallons of juice. A tumultuous fermentation will ensue. After it has become quiet, draw off or strain the liquid, and put it up in a cask or in bottles. A little caramel (burnt sugar) may improve the flavor or color. Cheap Soap.— A correspondent of the Fay etteville (N. C.) Observer, says : “A friend in forms us that he obtained from the Observer a recipe for making the article which is worth a dozen years’ subscription. It is simply strong ley and rosin, boiled together till of the proper consistency. Not a particle of grease is necessary. His family was thus supplied with an excellent soap all last year—excel lent as his own faultless shirt bosom showed. If salt was not so dear, an addition of a prop er proportion of that would make “bar tur pentine soap.’’ A worthy old farmer was called on last Satur day, says the Prairie News, for his mules to assist in bringing the captured wagons from the battle field. His enthusiastic reply was: “Yes, Gen. Forrest can get anything I’ve got, just leave the old woman, and he’s welcome to all the balance/ Interesting News fro?,i tije North. —The Richmond Examiner says, “Dr. Kerr, formerly in charge of the Marine Hospital in Baltimore har bor, reached Richmond on Tuesday night, (14th,) traveling in the desolate path of Grant’s advance. The country through which ha came, tho greater part of which he traversed on foot, presented a constantly recurring scene of desolation—burned farm houses, barnes and fencing, dead horses and dead Yankees by the scores and hundreds. Dr. Kerr affirms that the war spirit at the North is dead—swallowed up in the pending Presidential campaign. Maryland has been stripped of every organized force, and hundred day men have taken their places. About fifteen hundred of these held the Arlington defences in front of Washington. Grant had got all the troops he could get, unless troops were recalled from Sherman. The losses sustained by Grant since he set out on his bloody pilgrimage to Richmond, the Mecca of all Yankee aspirations, wage estimated at the North at even higher figures than the Confederate accounts have fixed them. Thousands had straggled and deser ted and our informant encountered hundreds on his way through making their way to the Poto mac, which was filled with guard-boats picking them up. Dr. Kerr has six brothers in the Con federate service.” Murder of Gaft. Anderson. —On Friday night last, Captain Anderson, the venerable keeper of the City Guard House, was mur dered by two Yankee prisoners who were con fined there. He had gone into the room for the purpose of taking supper to the prisoners, when an assault upon him was made. He made a desperate resistance, during which he received injuries from which he died on Sat urday evening. One of the assaulting party escaped during the aifray, but the other was held, and is now heavily ironed. Capt. Anderson was extensively known here and his death is much regretted. We learn that the Yankee who failed to escape, was a mere seventeen j'ear old boy, and was from Wisconsin. —Macon Confederate , list. All Quiet in Florida. —So far as we are advised, the enemy seems to have settled down in perfect quiet in and about Jackson ville—their fancied stronghold. They seem to be calmly awaiting the developments in Northers Georgia and Virginia, and their safety or security in Florida hinges upon 1 whatever turn matters may take at the points above mentioned. With Sherman and Grant nonplussed, we shall witness some gigantic j skedaddling at Jacksonville. With the exception of a few instances of cattle and negro stealing, &c., &c., the Yan kees and deserters, we learn, are impotent in Florida, Our troops are constantly watching and harrnssing them. —Floridian t y Jour., 18. “Here’s yer Mule.” Sturgis and Grierson fled from the avenging For rest on a mule. The North Mississippi correspon dent of the Mobile Register furnishes that paper the following telegraph from Gen.|Buford, which is a ludicrous picture of the “closing scenes:” Guntown, June 14,1564. To Maj. J. G. Bleicett: The enemy were completely routed. "Wo cap tured 2,500 prisoners, 200 wagons. 17 pieces of artil lery, and an immense quantity of small arms, quar termaster, commissary and ordnanee stores. No danger from that source for several months to come. The closing scene of the race was, that Sturgis and Grier?on entered Memphis on the same mule, back to back, each armed with a huge pair[of spnrs. We are all safe, with a plenty of good things of life. The ladies of Columbus will be remeiphered, (Signed.) A. BUFORD, Brig. Gen. Sturgis, it’seems, rode behind to watch the rear, and Grierson would call out to him, "I say, Bam, do you see an: thing of the d—d rebels'?” “Yes, Bill, yonder they eomc,*' and both would gouge the poor mule without mercy and push ahead. Prisoners ?ay that neither of their Generals was within five miles of the battle field at any time, and a lady at whose house they were says they remained there drinking till the firing began to approach and theu they mounted and put. Gen. Lossstrret. —-Some uneasiness being feL regarding the safety ol this distinguished leader, the enemy at last accouois being in fearful nr- limily to bis temporary plact of abode, we are gratifies to be able to state thai he got informaliuii of their approach in time, and was in Danville, Saturday last. His con dition is greatly improved, and he expects to return to his command by the first of the coni ng month. —Savannah Republican. [From th* Petersburg Register, IBth.j Affairs lit Front of Petersburg. On Thursday night up to the hour vre went to press, the new* from the front was satis factory. The artillerj contest continued all night, and towards morning persons living on the eastern outskirts of the city, could dis tinguish at intervals, the volleys of musketry. From daybreak until past 7 o’clock a. m., the cannonade was kept up ; the firing was slow but constant at ix regular intervals of a few minutes each. A few minutes before eight o’clock a. m., the inhabitants of Bolingbrook street were startled by the unannounced ar rival of a threo ineh shell, which glanced against Mr. Wilcox’s house, two doors east of the Telegraph office indenting the bricks and striking and passing through the granite co ping of the cellar door ; exploded below with out damage. Several other shells fell without noticeable damage on the same street in the neighborhood of the wayside hospital. An other of the Union missiles came shrieking diagonally across the Court House and enter” ed the second story of Mr. Brown’s house on Sycamore street. It exploded as it struck therear wall, raakiugan aperture large enough for the admission of a man’s body. A brick bat struck Mrs. McGregor, who was in the room, on the bead, inflicting a severe cut which bled profusely ; no other damage was done, the fragments of the shell falling with the rubbish ou the floor. The most distressing casualty that occurred is the wounding of two slave children belong ing to Mr. James Hall. They were in bed at their mother’s dwelling in Blanford, when the shell exploded over the bed. A girl, aged 4 years, had her left arm broken, tempered ar tery cut, and the cap of the right knee and the fingers of the left hand much injuied. A boy, aged six years, suffered more severely ; bis left hand had to he amputated half way between the knee and ankle, and liis right foot lost the toes and a portion of the instep. The necessary operations for the relief of the suf ferers, were performed by Dr. Smith-, assisted by Drs. Walsh and May. On yesterday, at an early hour, the enemy vigorously .charged Battery No. 16, on our extreme right. They were several times re pulsed, but at length succeeded by a flanking movement, and captured the battery and a portion of the force which defended it. We learn that a part of two regiments, number ing not less than two hundred men, were ta ken , but up to this hour we have been unable to learn what regiments they were. Some say of Bushrod Johnston’s old brigade, others that they belong to Wise’s brigade. We hope the affair is exaggerated. Col. Page, of the 26th Ya. regiment, was mortally wounded at an early hour, and died a short time after. In the early forenoon there was a heavy firing in the neighborhood of Fort Clifton.- We were informed that the stationed at that portion of our lines were briskly en gaged and finally repulsed the enemy. The militia were ordered from tbe'frant, and the order from Gen. Beauregard relieving them spoke of their services in very compli mentry terms. They are now engaged iu guarding, &c., on other portions of our line of defence. j The number of prisoners captured during ! the past twenty-four hours, amount to four j hundred and twenty. Twenty-two commis | sioned officers from Colonel down to Lieuten ! an t, left this morning for Americus, Georgia. The enemy still occupy Battery No 5, and is slowly shelling the woods in his front.— About every two minutes his guns belches forth fire and smoke, but there is apparently no reply from our artillery. There was but little firing after 3p. m., at that hour all was apparently quiet along our front. From 3 to 5 o’clock the firing gradually in creased. At the latter hour, Battery No. 5 and G ceased to fire, and the tide of battle rolled southward. The! space in our front covered by the batteries Numbering from 8 to 12, comprising the line occupied by Hoke’s division, now became the scene of conflict ; the artillery firing was very heavy, and as the enemy advanced a heavy fusillade commenced and was maintained until night set in. Judg ing from our ear the firing was stationary and the enemy had gained little or nothing by their several hours’ fighting. We learned from an official source, at five o’clock, that a fierce attack upon our extreme right had been repulsed. But we did not learn the result of the conflict, which was rag ing at nine o’clock. We have no fear of the result. The utmost confidence prevails at headquarters. Our troops are amply suffi *cient, and no apprehensions of the enemy’s advance seems to be entertained by our citi ! zens. 11 O’CLOCK; P. M. As we closed the last paragraph, a terrific cannonade commenced, jjmd for the first time the unremitting roll of sjmall arms was dis tinctly heard all" over the city. For about three quarters of an hour the battle raged much nearer our corporate limits than ever before ; but the stubborn valor of our brave troops prevailed and the enemy were driven back and all the ground we lost during the day was recovered. There were rumors of i certain regiments giving way, but we will await for further information, lest we do in justice to any portion of our heroic defenders. Col. Tabb, of the 59th Virginia regiment, was borne on a litter with a flesh wound in his leg. It was from him we learned the ! gratifying fact of the enemy’s bloody repulse. We have omitted many things that might be injudicious to publish, and have endeav ored to present such facts as would give our readers some idea of the bloody conflict which is now raging around the Cockade City. Our friends at a distance need not fear us, we are * all right. Beauregard and his army are around j us. Grant’s ILosses. The statement-below confirms the account of the immense losses sustained by Grant in the present campaign. When the truth is fully known, it will be shown that Grant has j sacrificed more men in one month than were lost in the campaigns of McClellan.-Pope, Burn side and Hooker: i Camp Near Mechanicsville. June 11. 1864. Mr. Editor: I clipped the inclosed report of casualties from the Portland, Me., Daily of the 30tn May f 18C4. It may be of interest to ; your readers to see it in print. It does not include, of course, the loss of the same brigade subsequently sustained when. Early turned their right flank about the Ist of June, captur ing ia all about eight hundred prisoners :rom the sth army corps. The regulars have sure ]v found Richmond a “hard road to travel. if the losses of this one brigade can be taken as a fair sample of the losses of Grant's army, how s>reat must have been his casualties.

The Western Virginia Expbditiox. —A gen eral order, issued from the headquarters depart ment of Western \ irginia, by Major-Gen. Hunter, just on the eve of hi* recent march, contaigs the following paragraphs that it would be well enough for our authorities te make a special note of. We copy : For the expedition on hand the clothes that sol diers have on their hacks, with one pair of extra shoes and socks, are amply sufficient. Everythin" else in the shape of clothing will he packed to-day and sent to the rear. In each knapsack there niust bo one hundred rounds ot ammunition, earo fully packed ; four pounds of hard bread to last eight days; ten rations of coffee, sugar and one pair of shoes and socks, but nothing ' else. I This would seem to indicate quick work.J Brigade and all other commanders will be held strictly responsible that their commands are amply supplied on the march. Cattle, sheep and hogs, and, it necessary, horses and mules, must be taken and slaughtered. These supplies, will be seized [stolen] under the direction of officers duly autho rized, and upon a system which will hereafter be regulated. The commanding general expects of every offi cer and soldier of the army in the field an earnest and unwavering support. He relies with confi dence upon an over kind Providence for a glorious result. The lieutenant-general commanding the armies ©f the United States, who is now vigorous ly pressing back the enemy upon their last strong hold, expects much from the army of the Shenan doah, and he must not be disappointed. When Greek Meets Greek, <fcc.—The tele gram says : “A Union National Convention, un der the auspices of a Committee of which Ames Kendall is chairman, is to be held in Chicago on the 4th of July.” This, we suppose, is to be a mass Convention, ostensibly to ratify the nomina tion of Lincoln, but really to overawe the Demo cratic Convention which meets in Chicago on the same day. If for any other purpose why select Chicago, which would be crowded to excess with one National Convention, or way take the precise day es the Democratic meeting ? There can be but one answer, and so we apprehend the opposi tion will regard it and govern themselves accor dingly. In self defence they will swell their dele gates with alternates, supernumeraries and escorts, and the 4th of July will dawn upon Chicago crowded by such a multitudinous host of angry and envenomed politicians as never thronged one western toivn before. VVe respectfully suggest that tlie customary li bations ot Monongahcla and old Bourbon will not put matters in better training for the preservation of the peace, and we may add a lively and, as we think, well-grounded apprehension that tho crowd will be too heavy for control by the local police.— Perhaps Lincoln may take occasion to send an ar my there for that purpose. A few brigades of nine ty days men might possibly be spared for such a benevolent and patriotic purpose. Did that sly Old Fox, Amos Kendall, sb long head of tile Kitchen Cabinet, concoct this scheme to furnish an apology for military interference to prohibit both Conventions as dangerous to the public order ? Who will answer? What man will dare to deny the danger ? Even in the piping times of peace such a proximity would be danger ous, and how much more under the deadly exaeer bation which now prevails ? Is it not the duty o£ Lincoln to interfere, and if he fails to do it would ho ilot be responsible for the disorder and blood shed which might follow? We leave these ques tions for the consideration of casuists; but that there must be some deep purpose in this sudden appointment of a Union Convention at Chicago on the 4th is too probable for dispute.— Macon Tele graph. Funding the Fives. —The public should bear in mind that the time for funding the five dollar Confederate Notes will expire on ■ the Ist proximo. But few days are left, and I yet very lew holders, we learn, have made their deposits and caken out certificates. The fives, it should be recollected, are not receiv able for taxes after the first of July, except at the discount of 33J. Bup.ke’s Charge from his Dying Bed.— ln 1797, when the Jacobins of France were prosecuting the war with England, which terminated eighteen years after on.the bloody field of Waterloo, Edmund Burke, the most eminent statesman of that age, was on his dying bed. In his last hours he gave a charge to England which, with the change of two or three words, is equally appropriate to the Confed erate States: ‘‘Never (said the dying statesman) never succumb It is a struggle for your existence as a nation. I you must die, die with the sword in your hand. But I have no fears for the result. There is a salient living principle in the public mind of England [of this Confederacy] which only requires proper direc tion.to enable it to withstand this or any other fero cious foe. Persevere, therefore,till this tyranny be overpast.” Northern Preaching in a Southern Prison.— A prisoner died a few days ago at Camp Oglethorpe’ in Maeon, Ga., and the funeral sermon was preach ed by a Federal Chaplain, who is also a prisoner.— He said : ~i ; This brave Lieutenant died a martyr; the cause in which ho died was a glorious one, not less glo- ' rious than that for which the son of God gave up his life. «—♦ i iltfp.SES Kiled .by Eating f obn Shoots.— The Atlanta Register of the 21st, says: “A lot of caval rymen on Friday last, let their horses into a field of > young corn belonging to Mr. E. B. Walker, on Peach ; Tree Creek, and allowed them to feed upon the corn all night. In the morning when the soldiers went to get their horses, they found eleven of them lying dead. They thought that they were doing a smart thing in getting ahead of the farmer, but the finale proved that they got the worst of the joke.” Escape of Pbisonf.es. —A few days since, some twenty odd prisoners, among them some desperate characters, were started from here in charge of Lieut, Culbertson. and a small guard composed of boys from 17 to IS years of age, members of the Reserve Corps.

No tinselled bar his collar bears, No epaulette or star. With glitter bright his mind to charm Amid the din of war! But in his soul the sacred light Off Liberty burns clear and ’bright: A private in tho ranks . And not to win the bar or stripe He rushes to the fight; 1 But strong of arm and stern of heart, He battles for the right. He knows no voice but duty's call And breasts the bullets—stand or fall, The private iu the ranks : All, all have come! the nation's cry lias throbbed their hearts among, And mother, wife or maiden fair, Must “suffer and be strong The sire with scarce a year to live, The boy with all his life to give, Are privates in the ranks ’ And when the quick electric flash Proclaims the battle done. How many hearts exulting throb. Another victory won ! And search the death lists eagerly For names they’d rather die than see. Os privates in the ranks The meed of praise we gladly give To all who dare the scars, And care but little what they wear, Coarse grey, or stars, or bars; But most our love to those belongs Who bravely right thoir country’s wrongs, Are privates in the ranks !
