A CtiastuE.—We omitted last week to
notice a change in the Engineering detail t
went Atli° Reading and Columbia Rail
road. Coleman P. Fisher, Esq., \am has
so satisfactorily conducted the construction
of the road since the departure of Mr. Lyons,
and who, in fact, has had eh trgm of the
!cation and construction of the whole line
front the beginning, having been offered the'
responsible position of Resident Engineer'
t•n'tlte Northern Central Railway, has re-'
signed his position as Chief Engineer on the
Beading and Columbia. In his plFee John I ,
, Sheaff. Esq., of Laneaster,.has been elected
by the Board of Directors, Chief Engineer.
We cannot part ‘vith Mr. Fisher nit hout
wt o.Fpres,sion . of the genorial regret at losing
an officer from the road who has given such
Aborough satisfaction in every respect. Ips
.work on the road speas for itself: but his
,universal courtesy and urbanity is best told
'by every man who has come into business
contact with Mr. Fisher during his sojourn
,sunongst.us: all unite in giving Min this
praise. As an Engineer his standing may
be judged by the responsible position ho left
.and the one lie now oceup.ies—bestowed
without solicitation. We Wish him every
good fortune.
Mr. Sheaff, the present Chief of our road,
is known as an Engineer of ely.perienee and
II man of the highest character. Beside
more important stations he has occupied
{probably now occupies) that of ,Chief En
gineer of the Columbia and Maryland Line
Road. On this as well as other account we
.P.ro &fa to have Mr. Sheaff brought into
more immediate relationship with our town.
As our Reading and Columbia Railroad has
:been perseveringly crowded through in face
.of difficulties, so may we hope to see the
“Maryland Line" some day brought to a
completion. We congratulate Mr. Shealfon
Jtia appoiotment, and the road on the happy
,selection.
THE Dr:Am—The Draft, after go many

heard in claim fur exemption. On that day
tiolumbia borough, West Ilcutpfiold and
Manor were disposed of. We are enabled,
through courtesy of 11. M.. North, Elsol., to
give our readers a list of the names drawn
for

Upper Ward and sixty-six in' the Lower
Ward. 'fu curer all nemptions among
those drawn nod avoid the necessity of a
,supplemental draft, ten names were drawn
in the Upper and severity-six in the Lower

in which they were drawn, consequently
those numbered higher than six and sixty
six in the respective Wards (marked thus')
are extras, and will only be called upon in

Wine Making from the Catawba Grape
As this is the season fur making wine,
and many persons have naked me to give
them instructions about the same, I will
here give them the 'benefit of my experience
—very limited it is true, yet much of my
success in the manufacture of wine, I ac
credit to Mr. Lungworth, the great Wine
Merchant and grape grower of Cincinnati;
with whom I corresponded, in order to per
fect myself in the manufacture of wine from
the Catawba grape alone, and I owe him
everlasting gratitude; for he was always
ready and willing to impart to me any know
ledge I asked of him in reference to this im
portant subject. Skill has little to do with
wine making, but to keep it after it is made
is the trouble. To make good butter is ap
parently one of the must simple operations,
yet nut two dairy-women in ton makes but
ter of the first quality. To make good wine,
much depends on gathering the grapes and
the care and neatness in the manufacture.
Never gather the grapes till they are per
fectly ripe, (dead ripe) then pick out all
green and imperfect ones, and do not gather
them while wet or the dew is on them. If
you have no machine mash the grapes in a
tub, being careful not to break the seed, and
immediately press theta off, and fill into the
casks to within throe or four inches of the
top, and put in a cool cellar fur fermenta
tion. Use no sugar or water when the grapes
are ripe and perfect, as the pure juice of the
grape alone deserves the appellation of wine.
Great care shottid be token in the selection
of casks; bo particular to have them soaked,
cleansed and fumigated with sulphur, before
putting wine into them. After the fermen
tation whiah generally lasts two or three
weeks, fill the cask and . put the Aping in
tightly, and aspilp-hole made, and sir given
from it once or tyke a day, and q 4 peon as
1
it can be done safely, all sir exoluded until
the wine is clear, when it should be racked
ulf, say about the first of February.

is apt to be commenced, the white mould is
formed viv er the top - ,"tved the - winels"ttpoilett
never to be-restorea. , A moderate fermeo- :
tat ion will take place late in the spring—say
middle of April or
,first of May; Or about
the time the 'grapes are putting fuith—then
you should esamine your casks or the head
or bottom may be forced to yield under the
heavy pressure, and your wine lost. Pull
out the vent plug at least every day or two,
and let the gas escape. After thie.the wine
fines itself and is ready fur use. •If the
casks are kept well filled and•the bungs
tight it will improve by agelor many years;
but the safest way to keep it, is .in bottles
well corked (use velvet corks) and sealed
and laid on their side in a cool place: but
never bottle before the second fermentation.
There is an improvement in the fermen
tation of wines which I have never tried,
but will this season. When the wine must
is put into the cask, and filled within about
five inches of the top, (to leave room fur
fermentation)—a tin syphon is fitted tight
in the bung with the end of the tube in a
bucket of water, iiithout the wine coming
in contact with the atmospheric air. Seine
of the strength and of the fruity aroma is
thus retained in the wine, that would other
wise escape by exposure in the methods
formerly pursued; I have no doubt but the
plan is a good one and deserves attention.
I usually make from three hundred to
five hundred gallons of wine per year, out
of the Catawba grapes alone, and have never
yet had a cask to spoil, following strictly
the above directions, and my wine is read
ily sought after at seven dollars per dozen;
and is considered equal to the very best
Hoek or Madeira.
Our Army Correspondence
POINT OF ROCKS, MD., Oat. 13, '62
DEAR Spy:—We are again on the tramp
—after that body of cavalry that did Clam •
bersburg so nicely. On Sunday evening
our Brigade was ordered to proceed to
Frederick. We were soon under way and
arrived at Frederick at midnight. Found
sentinels and everybody else sound asleep;
we bivouacked on the sidewalks; at day-break
moved to the north side of the town. Word
then arrived that the rebels would enter by
way of New Market. We then moved in
that direction. Another courier arrived—
they were approaching by way of Monocacy.
To Monocacy went we. After trotting from
place to place during the entire day, our re
giment and the 36th Massachusetts were or
dered to Point of Rocks. We took the airs
at dusk, and arrived at 9 o'clock. The -15th
then advanced during the night to Nolan's
Ferry, and learned that the Hubs, with all
their booty, had crossed into Virginia dur
ing the afternoon—closely watched by our
cavalry. And here we are—two regiments
orinfantry, (1400 men)—racing 5.000 cav
alry through Maryland. Ilad we been on
good horses and the Rebq on foot, we 'night
have helped our own cavalry to—watch
them closely; but we were not mounted, con
sequently never got a sight. It really seems
rascally that our cavalry under Gen. Pleas
anton permitted this marauding party to
pass through and around his cavalry lines
without destroying them, his force being
double their number.
Our Colonel is swearing a little about it
this morning, having run his Brigade of
foot soldiers through the country day and
night after them, and without success,—
What do you think of this raid? Isn't it
lucky that the Columbia militia got home
so soon, else they might have been en route
for Dixie. I could not help hut rejoice at
their good luck—l mean the Columbia mili
tia—the knee-deep in blood and cannon mouth
den p 5.
The management of our army is done on
scientific West Point principles. The inva
sion of Pennsylvania and the surrounding
of our army of 200,000 men by 5.000 x. Reb
els, would in Ireland be considered a joke
but we, sir, believe it to he profound stmt.
e;.ty, and is in accordance with that "grand
anaconda" of the Herald for the immediate
suppression of the rebellion. Your readers
may nut see the point, but lot me assure
them, that of this system of strategy that
has been steadily pursued by the young
Napoleon during the last year is permitted
to develop, the rebellion will certainly be
crushed within the next fifteen or twenty
years—providing the Rebs can then be con
vinced of the grand plans of our Generals.
I We are generally in good health.
Yours, &c.,

Cant.tnE, Pa., Oat. 11, 18G2
The recent raid of Stuart's Babel Ceval
ro into Pennsylvania, as far as five miles
north of Cbambersburg, and from thence
towards Gettysburgh, to which point can
, not yet be definitely ascertained, is with
out exception the boldest act of the war,
and far surpassed in 'audacity and daring
the celebrated raid on the White. house, at
an earlier period of the war. It is difficult
to conceive that the feat would - be attempt
ed without positive . previous knowledge of
just where they : ware going and. just, the
amount of opposition likely to be met with.
It is beliovnd herenbouts that guides ac
companied tbato xrho knew as much, about
the condition of affairs at *ercersburg.and
iChambersburg as the citizens of these towns
themselves, and Perhaps more.
I pa ceed to furnfsh yep with the follow
ing particulars regarding the occurrepee,
the, maid points of which have already been
telegruphed to you.
The , f eavalry,: about .three thousand in
numberaalthough accounts differ as to their
. ttrerimtb, some parties insisting there were
not mere than seven hundred of them,), and
six pieces of artillery, crossed the Potomac
at' Tlancia Cl ea s t. "Sp ring, — on - Tridity .
morning, and proceeded at once to Mercers
burg, without committing any depredations,
1 or in the least degree interfering with the
inhabitants along:the route,,it,evidently be
ing their.intention,.at,the outset, to spare
the persons and property of private citizens,
horses excepted. In fact, this was commu
nicated by some them to parties in Chem
bersburg. They entered Mercersburg about
noon, to the great astonishment of the citi
zens, who at first thought it was a body of
Union troops. No damage was done at
Mercersburg, with the exception of pressing
a number of horses, there being no railroad
depot, public workshops or Government
stores in the town. They passed through
the town, and took the Pittsburg pike for
Chamberoburg, arriving near the town just
before dark. One of their first acts was to
plant three pieces of artillery on a hill back
of the town; after which a detachment of
fifteen men were sent into the town,,bearing
a flag of truce, and requesting to see the
chief personages or authorities, stating that
they had an ample force at hand, and that
the town must be surrendered or shelled,
at the same time stating that guns were
in position for that purpose. [lon. A. K.
31cClure and Provost Marshal Stiminel then
accompanied them to the officer in com
mand, and all resistenee being impossible
the town was surrendered and soon after
wards fully occupied. Previous to their
entrance, however, a number of the militia
of Chambershorg proceeded to arm them
selves and made a show of resistenee, but
their projet was abandoned as entirely fu
tile. One of their first acts, on entering.
was to plant two pieces of artillery in the
square of the town commanding the princi
pal thoroughfares, and placing guards at
different points.

OCCUPATION OF CHAIIDERSDURG
The town was fairly occupied about seven
o'clock in the evening. Shortly afterwards,
a large portion of them made. directly for
the warehouses and cars, in which were
stored a large quantity of Government
goods, consisting principally of uniforms
and a small quantity of boots. Not long
afterwards, the whole town was converted
into one vast dressing room. On every
hotel porch, at every corner, on the greater
portion of the street door steps, in fact, all
over town might be seen Rebel cavalry don-
ning Yankee uniforms, and throwing their
own worn out and faded garments into the
street. In many instances, one man would
ensconce his pedestals iu two or three new
pair of pants, as many coats, and with the
same number of caps hanging about them.
The streets became full of dirty Rebel
clothing. It is a noticeable fact that many
of them had on Union uniforms when they
entered the town, and a number of their
horses were marked "U. 5,"
I During the night, until daybreak, a por
tion of them scoured the country around in
quest of horses and captured about six hun
dred. Ten of the number belonged to the
lion. A. K. AleClure, and were fine animals.
Among the horses taken was a colebtated
black stallion owned by a gentleman in
Chambersburg and valued at $l2OO. It is
a remarkably large and fine animal, and
had quite a reputation in the surrounding
country. The Rebels fed their own horses
at the corn-fields around Chambersburg.
The road for fire or six miles towards Har
risburg is strewn with corn stalks that were
gathered in the fields and brought to the
edge of the road for the horses.
CONOUCT OP TIM REBEL IN CLIAMIIERSLIVIW
The horses of those that remained in the
town were ranged along the streets, facing
the sidewalks, and remained there for the
night, the riders lying around in different
directions. It is not known that they made
an attempt to enter u single private house.
The taverns were all visited directly after
they arrived, and a considerable quantity of
whisky was punished, for which payment
was generally proffered in Confederate
script. The men were, as a general thing,
friendly, and even socially disposed towards
the inhabitants, entering into conversation
with the citizens in the taverns, barber
shops, &c.
PREPARATIONS TOR LEAVING CIIANDERSISURG
\Vith the exception of the occurrences
above related, the night was quietly spent.
Preparations for leaving town were com
menced about daylight. Combustibles were
placed in the Itailroad depot, the warehouse
in which Government stores were kept, the
machine shop, and a train laid to the pow
der magazine at the warehouse. The stolen
horses were got together, a large Govern•
mutt wagon with four horses and two or
three ambulances found in the town, were
well filled with military clothing, 4 - 0., and
each cavalryman had a quantity of clothing
piled up before and behind him, on his
horse, in many instances the pile reaching
to his chin.

Three locomotives and the s tate number
of passenger cars belonging to the Cumber

long enough to else that the destruction
would be complete, and at eight °Meek in

of the powder magazine was so great that

CITAMBERPBURG, Oct. 13.—There has been
a "high old time" in the town during the
past three days, caused by the sudden ap
pearance of the Rebels, but the excitement
has now somewhat subsided, and business
is beginning to assume its wonted sway.—
The visit of the Rebels was short and sweet
but they stayed quite long enough, and all
but a few of their sympathizers and there
are many here) we were delighted when
they departed. They came in rags and filth
but went away like gentlemen—that ,is, if
good, new clothing will entitle a man to be
called a gentleman—for the stores and two
car-loads of now clothing were seized and
distributed among the party, and their ap
pearance was bright as a "new pin;" in fact
their appearance was highly creditable to
Philadelphia tailors and seamstresses, who
made up the uniforms for "the boys" in
McClellan's army.
The damage by the conflagration will ex
ceed two hundred thousand dollars, of which
amount the Cumberland Valley Railroad
Company suffer to the extent of $30,000.
Mr. 0. N. Lull, the Superintendent of the
road, had all his furniture destroyed, upon
which there was no insurance. The car,
engine, wood and water houses of the Com
pany were totally destroyed, and, for a
space of three hundred square yards, there
is now nothing left but the blackened and
smouldering remains. The track was un
injured, and the trains to day are running
as usual.
Ihe warehouses of 'Messrs. Wunderlinch
Neid contained a large amount of ammu
nition and stores, among the former seven
hundred thousand cartriges, seven hundred
muskets, and a quanity of shells, loose pow
der' &c.,&c. When the building blew up,
there was no one near; but those in the
other sections of the town made some of the
tallest travling that over has been seen in
this section of the country, or anywhere else.
Fortunately no one was injured. One car
was loaded with revolvers, which the rebels
carried off with them. Two long trains of
cars; loaded with goods consigned to private
individuals, were not disturbed.
Gen. Hampton appeared to be in com
mand, and appeared anxious that the cit
izens should not suffer. One of the of
exhibited•a long list of the most prominent
Unionists of this place, and said lie was
fully posted in regard to the feeling of the
people of this section.
The Rebels were accompanied by one res
ident of this place and several from Hagers
town, who acted as spies and pilots. They
departed with the company in which
they came. If they had remained here
their necks would have been circled with a
hempen cravat.
Additional Particulars
FREDERICK, MD., Oct. 12-6 o'clock, P. M.
The following is a special despatch to the
American:
When the inteligence was receival here
that the crossing of Staurt's cavalry into
Pennsylvania, it was generally anticipated
that they would endevour to make their exit
from this State by way of some of the fords
near the mouth of the Monocaoy, and Gen.
McClellan immediatly ordered a movement
of troops to intercept them oa the roads lead
mg in that direction.
On Saturday afternoon we bad inteligence
of their baring reached Emmetsburg, by
way of the Fairfield road, were they halted
for some hours.
During Saturday afternoon and evening
large bodies of Federal troops, consisting of
cavalry, in ftntry and artillery, were ordered
to the vicinity of Frederick, to protect the
immense stores there, it being anteiipated
to be the purpose of the Rebels to destroy
these as well as the railroad bridge at Mon
°cony station. Other troops wore also sent
out on the dtfferent roads leading from the
Pennsylvania line, and hopes were entertain
ed that the invaders would be intercepted
and captured.
Inteligonco was received on Saturday
night at 12 o'clock that the enemy Was
moving towards Frederick, and had reached
‘Voodsboro, which is about eight miles
northeast of the city, they having diverged
from the direct road from Etnmetsburg, so
as to be able to chooso a route eustof Fred
erick on- their way to the Potomac, if it
should be necessary for their safety.
On reaching Woodsboro,' General Staurt
ascertained from his scouts that a large
Federal force was stationed to intercept him,
and that General Slcelelian bad discovered
his moveinent eastward io time to afford
ample protection to the Government prop
erty at Frederick and its vicinity. This
made it necessary that ho should move rap
idly, to avoid capture before reaching the
Potomac.
On receiving the information that the rich
priae they anticipated at Frederick and the
Monocacy Junction was safe, consisting, be
sides the bridge, of twelve looomotives, two
hundred loaded cars, and great quantities
of hospital and army stores and wagons,
they started uff in an easterly direction, by
the Liberty town road, to Wow Market, on
the Baltimore turnpike. This movement
required a wider detour to reach the Poto
mac, of ten or fifteen miles, making it neces
sary to push for the fords below instead of
above the month of the Moneeatty.

"PERRYVILLE, KY., VIA BARDSTOWN,
October 10.
..1 or General Balleck, General-iu-Chief:
1 have already advised you of the move
ments of the army under my °tut:mond from
Louisville. ➢lore or less skirmishing has
occurred daily with the enemy's cavalry
since then. It was supposed the enemy
would give battle at Bardstown. My troops
reached that point on the 4th, driving out
the enemy's rear guard of - cavalry and art'',
lery. The main body retired towards
Springfield, wither the pursuit was contin,
ued. The centre corps, under General
Gilbert, moved in the direct road from
Springfield to Perryville, and arrived on
the ith within two miles of the town, where
the enemy was found to be in force.
The left column, under General McCook,
cause up on the Knoxville road about ten
o'clock yesterday. the Bth inst. It was or
derd in position and a strong reconnoissance
directed. At four o'clock I received a re
quest from General McCook for reinforce
ments, and learned that the left Lad been
seriously engaged for several hours, and
that the right and left of that corps were
being turned and severely pr_.sed.
Reinforcements were immediately sent
forward from the centre, and orders were
sent to the right column, under General
Crittenden, which was advacing by the
Lebanon road, to push forward and attack
the enemy's left, but it was impossible for
it to get into position in time to produce
any desired results. The notion cuntinned
until dark. Some skirmishing also ocoured
in the centre. The enemy was everywhere
repulsed, but not without some motnentry
advantage on the left.
The several corps were put in position
during the night and moved to attack at siz
o'clock this morning. Some skirmishing
occurod with the enemy's rear guard, but
the main body has fallen back in the direc
tion of'llarrodsburg.
I bad no emirate report of our lasses yet.
It is probably pretty heavy. including val
uable officers. Generals Jackson and Terrill,
I regret to say, are among the number kill
ed.
