—— Thy THatchman, STORY OF A FE ALY REFUGEE FROM ALABAMA. The correspondence of the Cincinnati Commercial from Bottle Creek, Tennessee, gives the story ofa Mrs. Vanseiver, formerly of Philadelphia, but now from Montgomery, the late traitor capital. She had been doing a fancy dry goods business in that city for two years. She accuses the rebels of fiendish barbarity to the prisoners: When they reached Mont- gomery, the sick ones were left tor several hours in the streets ; totally uncared for while the young ladies of Montgomery passed them with the mocking jest and derive laugh, ‘ Good, good, you Yankee dogs, why didn’t you stay at home?” One lady by the name of Bard, a strong secessionist, acted the good Samaritan part. She went into the street, raised sev- eral of them, and assisted them to one of their own hospitals, provided them food and medi- cine, and was rendering them every assistance in her power; but this was too much; the Vigilance Committee called on her and very quietly told her that she must stop. She still persisted, and though one of their kind, was threatened with banishment if she did not desist from all labor of love, She was assisted by Mrs. Kady, | another kind hearted Nightin- gale. Every desert hasits oa- sis, so with this Sodom of seces- sion. Many sudden deaths oe- | the bonds of the fierce Pharaohs of the South; betrayed and captured they have fallen. A few days ago shesaw what she calls the shadow of one Yancey, the great conspirator, who boasted In the streets of Montgomery ‘that he was will- ing to drink all the Yankee blood that was shed in the war, for they were too cowardly to fight.’ the Yancey who strutted his brief period in the Court of St. James, and, like Pope, Walker, and many others, goes mourn- ing around whangdoodle like, rin the valleys of Alabama, over the fate of his glorious Confed- eracy, finding relief at the mouth of a brandy-bottle. So far as other reports have been received they confirm Mrs. Vanseiver’s statement and she offered repeatedly to take oath to them. a Planting Trees in the Fall. We find that transplanting fruit trees in the fall is prefer- red by many, so far asit re- lates to apples and cherries. IFor pears and small fruits, spring is better. Our own e.= perience would make the local- ity, rather than season, the cuide in making the selection, In uplands, or other lands of a we should choose autumn; but in moist, héavy or argillaceous soils spring is undoubtedly the variety of the fruit.

His men were ncar- ly perished with hunger; he had wandered forth trom his prison in search of scmething to sustain life. In his ramble he approached the house of an- other female Samaritan, who had at times. by bribing th 2jne- groes or disguising herself, se- cretly conveyed food to our wen. He was closely follow- eb by one of the Provost (ruards. She was at the win. dow; he made known his er- r.nd ; she inquired his name, he gave it. * Certainly you can,” was her answer. She turned into the house and pro- | cured it; was returning, when she neard Bliss exclaim: ‘ You certainly won't shoot me for trying to keep from starving!’ ‘ Yes, you Yankee i a gun was fired, and she reached the window in time to see poor Bliss in his death struggle up- on the pavement. Mrs. Van- seiver then turned to the guilty murderer with the expression, ‘You wretch, God will hold you guilty for your diabolical act ;’ he turned cooly away, leav- ing the dead body of Bliss ly- ing there. The Provost Mar- shal was duly notified of the terrible deed, but no further notice was taken of it. A few days afterwards this murder- er was taken very sick; the la- dies of the city vied with each other in restoring him to health. His name is George Sanders of Perryville Alabama. She also confirms the hang- inglof twenty-seven Ohians who were captured at Atlanta. Tour were hung at mid-day, the remainder in the evening. - One of them, in his dying strug- - gles, broke the rope and fell, piteously exclaiming, ** Oh my neck—oh, my dear mother!” They gave him another trial, and with the sacred name of mother upon his lips, our pet soldier was launched into eter- nity. They died like true men, they denied not their fath, but uttering prayers for their coun- try, home and friends, passed away, adding another foul crime to the already long cat- alogue of damning wrongs, No common soldiers were they, I have seen them on the field of danger, no fear blanched their cheek, no quiver of the musele; but like true Ohians, they went into the contest to die, if necessary, in defence of their fatherland. I saw them on theeve of their departure for East Tennessee, to assist her suffering sons in breaking as spring. The best time to transplant trecs are done growing, which can be determined by the cl arge of the leaf. By this ear- ly operation the roots have tim: to seize upon the soil be- fore winter sets in, and the tree is thus roady for an early start prepared to stand the severit es of winter. Large trees, espe- cially, should be transplanted very early, or not until the ground is frozen hard. —Gei- mantown Telegraph. rr rt pm A Cheap Smoke House. A Western New York farmer publishes his plan ofa small, cheap and good smoke house, { which, as it may contain some practical hints for our own read- ers, we append: ‘No farmer should be with- out a good smoke house, and such a one as will be fireproof and tolerably secure from thieves. Fifty hams can be smoked, at one time, in a smoke house seven by eight feet square. Mine is six by seven, and is large enough for most farmers. I first dug all the ground out below where the frost would reach, and filled it up to the surface with small stones. On this I laid my brick floor, in lime mortar. The door should be made of wood, and lined with sheet iron. For the top I put on joists, two by four, set up elgewise, and eight and a halfinches from centre to centre, covered with brick, and put on a heavy coat of mortar. I built a small chimney on the top in the centre, arching it over and covering it with a sin- gle roof in the usual way. An arch should be built on the out- side, with a small iron door to shut it up, similar to a stove door, with a hole from the arch through the wall of the smoke house, and an iron grate over it. This arch is much more convenient, and better to put the fire in, than to build a fire inside the smoke house; and the chimney causes a draft through into the smoke house, Good corn cobs or hickory wood are the best materials to make a smoke for hams. The cost of such a smoke house as I have described is about twenty dol- ars.
