KEEP IT UP.—The Unionists, so j
far as we can hear, are well at work,!
and if the work is kept up—as we
have reason t will be—the Novem
ber election will find them thorough
ly organized.
In the late canvass too much was
taken for granted, and too little of
tilling work done. The opposition,
on the contrary, were well organized.
T1« le-ult was full on tin ir side,
while thousands of I nionist did not
vote. Let the work now going on be
kept up for the two weeks that re
main, and the Keystone State will
give a rousing I • ion mojority on
♦.ho home vote. Let every ward, bor.
and precinct resolv# to do better—
much better—than before. Let us
not leave everything to be done by the
soldiers, although they may be safely
trusted to do it.
BRITISH GVINEAS AGAINST US. —At
tho creat I nion meeting in New-llaven.
on Wednesday, the Bev. Dr. Pattern, just
returned from Europe, made a speech, iu
the course of which ho said that he had
hurried home to vote for Mr. Lincoln;
and that his haste had been stimulated
by having observed how deeply interested
the aristocracy of England are on our
election, and how anxious they are that
McClellan should succeed, lie spoke of
noblemen who freely admitted they were
sending gold to this country to influence
the election in favor of McClellan, be
lieving that his election would bo follow
ed by peace and separation.
fiST* Ex-Senator Browning, of 111.,
vho has been very extensively claim
ed as a supporter of McClellan, has
written a letter denouncing the Chi
cago platform and the whole Copper
head party, lie comes out irely
and fairly for Lincoln and Johnson.
B&~ Gen. l'avid B. Birney, almost iu
the hour of his death, presented an ex
ample of patriotism which should be a
reproach to all the lukewarm and a spur
to all the careless nominally iu the Union
ranks. lie was brought to Philadelphia
on election day, with the impression of
death upon his features. Before allowing
himself to be taken to his home, he insist
ed upon beinjf carried to the polls, to vote,
as a citizen, for the cause for which ho
had fought as a soldier.
AGS" Victory can only be lost by
going to the rear. Let every man
continue at hie post, and hard at
work. So shall Itebeldom and Cop
perhetdism be ours, and fairlv won.
Confidence must not beget apathy.
The Copperheads complain
that the Administration influenco is
used against thens. But they cer
tainly should not complain at that,
inasmuch as the influence of the Reb-'
el Administration is used for them.
Every one helps his friends.
The result of the State elec
tion shows that the copperheads were
well organized. They brought out
their full vote by organization, and
we must do the same.

Storing Celery-
We have said a great (lea) latterly
about the cultivation of celery ; and
now, as the crop must be pretty well
grown, we shall proceed as usual at
this season, to give some reliable - di
rections for preserving it through the
winter.
Many people complain of their cel
ery—one of the most difficult garden
crops to raise in perfection—that it
does not keep well through the win
ter—-sometimes it withers, but often
er rots. It is recommended by some
that it should be preserved in the
rows where it grows, and that remov
al always more or less injures it.
Where the plant is grown in soil of a
dry nature —and celery never should
grow there—it may be kept well in
the row ; but we deny most emphati
cally that removal injures it in tin
slightest particular.
We pursue two modes and find
both to answer completely. The
first is to remove the celery to high
and dry ground, dig a trench spade
deep stand up a row of plants, then
three inches of soil, then another row
of plants, then three inches of soil,
then another row, and so on until
about half a dozen rows are finished,
then commence another bed and so
on. The soil should be packed in
firmly and banked up so that the tops
of tho celery are jn-t then
spank off roof fashion to turn the
rain. Over this two wide boards,
nailed together should be placed, as a
security against moisture— Fur re
member it Li frost, <is gome tuny, that
rots celery. Frost adds to its tender-
Another plan is to sink barrels in
to the earth, so that the tops are two
or three inches below the surface,
stand thorn compactly full of celery,
put close or light covers upon
them, and then a couple of inches of
soil. By this mode, somewhat more
troublesome than the other, ours kept
well for the last two or three years
until nil was consumed, which was
late in spring.
■—The foregoing will answer sever
al inquirers on the subject, who have
addressed us within the iast few days.

Keeping Winter Pears,
Mr. 11. K. Hooker, of Western
New-York, (we believe this is his n s
idenee.) who has had much experi
ence in cultivating and keeping pears
until late iu the winter, and even in
to March, states that lie packs them
in barrels or ha 112 barrels, and places
them in a barn-cellar. Some cellars,
he says, are too damp, which rots
them ; others too dry, which shrivels
the in ; and that it can he ascertained
only by the experiment, the situation
which is exactly adapted. They
should, however, be Kent where the
atmosphere is always above tho freez
ing point, 110 does not approve of
changing-the fruit to a warmer tem
perature for the purpose of ripening,
and yet says that retarding their ri
pening t,> too long a period will injure
their flavor.
So far as our own experience ex
tends Mr. Hooker's views are gener
ally correct. He lyive tried various
modes of keeping pears, and cannot
i =:iv that we entirely .succeeded with
I any of them. We had constructed a
dark cl oset, filled with shelves, where
I it was dry and:001, but never frost
! Ed, the temperature being as oven as
: possiblewithout artificial means. The
fruit was carefully placed upon cot
; ton. Every attention was bestowed
upon it; and the result was that some
lot' the fruit rotted, some dried up,
! some was flavorless. Also, certain
j varieties said to keep not later than
j November, were in line condition near
; January. The " Easter Buerre" va
i riety rotted or dried up in December
| and January ; and soon.
We next tried to keep them in a
partially but airy closet in the cellar,
where the temperature 40 to
50 through the winter— iuul the re
sult wa« just the same —some rotted,
[ some shriveled np, and none kept be
yond'the middle of January. We
next tried them wrapped seperitely
in paper, packed in barrels, and pla
ced in an empty ice-house. The re
sult was that there were but half a
dozen specimens that had not lost
their flavor; tho rest were perfectly,
tasteless, and had to be thrown away.
W" next year put the barrels in the
house-cellar, and with no better suc
cess. The next year the fruit was
wrapped in paper, packed in boxes,
and buried rnoiT than a foot under
ground in a dry soil— where tliey all
ret ed.
| AN e know of several persons who
keep pears uutil May, retaining their
I flavor, in arched closets
jin the cellar—in garrets—in closets
in the house—but we have thus far
failed everywhere.
\\ e believe that generally pears
can be kept best in dark drawers, in
a tireless room of the house, laid on
something soft, and covered up.
RguUen. McClellan must have a poor
opinion oi Sheridan. The young scape

other sale places for shelter, goes square
iuto the fight himself! lie should bo
cashiered, and probably will be when
Little Mae becomes Commander-in-Chief! I
But what a very old man Sheridan will j
be when that happens!

j Lieut, (ion. Grunt, City l'oint. Virginia:
, I pursued the route: 1 furceof the cuciny
j nearly to Mt. Jackson, which point bo
: reached during the night of the I'.lthand
1 j!Oth without an organize I regiment of
! bis army. From the sieeonnts of our
j prisoners who have escaped, and citizens,
j the route was complete. About 2,000 of
j the enemy broke and made their >vav
| down through the moufitains en the left,
j fourteen miles. On the line of the ro
! treat the road and country wcro covered
| with small arms thrown away by the fly
j ing rebels and other dcl.ris. Forty eight
I pieces of captured artillery are now at
my headquarters. I think that uo less
j than 800 wagons and ambulances were
cither captured or destroyed.
'1 he. accident of the morning turned to
! otir advantage, as though the whole move
ment had been planned. The only re
gret I have is tho capture, early in the
morning, of from HID to I,yt;o men. 1
ia in now sending to the War Department
j ten battle-flags. The loss of artillery in
> the morning was seven froin Crook.eleven
'loin Canbv, and six from Wright, l'loui
all I can learn I think Early's forces were
less than 10,000.

t-Q, "An officer of the 'J'Jth Ohio,
who arrived here yesterday from the front,
states that nearly all the Ohio troops with
Sherman voted at the latj election; that
they were forced to do so while on the
march and subject all day to au attack
from the rebels. The polls were held in
the ambulances following the regiments.
The men were sent to the rear by squads
to fight the enemy at home with ballots,
which they would do with a hearty good
will aud then return to their positions,
and with bullets open out again upon the
foe before them with renewed vigor and
increased zeal. The scene was inspiring,
and will never be forgotten by those who
witnessed it. McClellan was the war cry
of the rebels in their attacks on that day." (Jin.

The rebel raidor Wheeler, is ou ly
twenty-five years of age and very small,
lie is a ladies' man. At a ball in C'ar-
I lisle, Pa., just before the war, he got
! tight, and becoming aware that the la
dies were turning up their noses at him,
he soliloquized thus: "Wheeler, you're
drunk! Wheeler, the gals arc laughing
at you! Wheeler, you had better go
home and he did.
BPX. " Sergeant, you have come home,
■ I suppose to vote the Democratic ticket,"
said a merohapt in New-IJedford to a vet
eran who entered his store.
" I have been shooting Democrats for
three years," said the soldier. " I am
not in the habit of voting for tho game I
killed."
SNETIMAN STILL PLKSUIKU Hoot*.—
Sherman is still pursuing 1 loud, and there
are some indications of tho robots making
a staud at Blue Pond. Our army is in
good spirits, and all they ask is for Hood
to stand and tight them,
Whan the rebels demanded the sur
render of Resaca, it was refused; they
sent a line of skirmishers to attack our
works, and they advanced under the ral-
Jvinjt ery of '• Hurrah for Meridian."

has largely augmented our free pop
ulation by emancipation and immi

new sources of wealth, and lias crown
ed the labor of our working men in
every department of industry with'
abundant reward. Moreover, Ho
has been pleased to animate and in
spire our minds and hearts with forti

for the great trial of civil war into
which we havo been brought by our

dangers and afflictions. Now, there

sign as tho dwelling place for our
selves and our posterity throughout
all generations.

(Yum 1.«.m1i.11 in which lie untold* hi*

1 iii' st nr.hr-ifatiiig manner in support of
! the constitutionality of tho asts of l'resi
tlonl Lincoln during the war for the su| -
|»i nof the rebellion. Of the Euim
| eipatioii Proclamation he says, '-us a war
' I un a nr.; it was perfectly constitutional."
He ask < the soldiers to remember tho
slnnrlerand tho insult awarded them at
' the Chicago <'(.invention, He asserts that,
an armistice would result in the ruin of
our manufacturers of cotton and other
textile fabrics, and our commerce gener-
I ally, ami it would be but tho harbinger
of that foreign recognition so much sought
: after by ho rebels. Me adds that "there
i will bo no recognition of the independ
ence of ihc South by I'ranee or England,
or ouy other J'owur, if Abraham Lincoln
should be re-elected in November next."
In addition to all this " the National char
acter will be iuiuiensly exalted." Tlicso

of Americrn Democrats—a .Southern

Hear Brothers — l received a letter
from you a few days ago—tin-first J have
received for nearly a year. * * *
i see from your fast letter that you are
not awaie of tho fact that lam a veteran.
1 entered the veteran service the loth
day of last February. . Since then I have
seen some very hard service. I was with
(jen'l 11 unter on the celebrated Lynch
burg raid. Since then I have been in the
Shenandoah Valley under Crook and
Sheridan. We have flogged tho rebels
soundly in the two last battles, and we arc
now in hot pursuit up the valley.
I receive your paper occasionally, and
am very uiueh pleased with it. Continue
to figlit treason at home, while we aru
crushing it in the field, aud I think wo
will soon have au honorable peace, with
uuion. and without Slavery.
The army is almost unanimous fur Lin
coin and Jobu.-.un. i'erbap* * f^. w
headed sneaks who always •- limber to the

growing scarcer every day.
I cannot write any more, as I bavo sev
eral more letters to write, aud my time is
limited. My love to you aud yours.—r
