Whcthor this 'cnrcM, economicul, practical style of inoat-cookiu"; cuu over to any great exleut be introduced into our kitchen now i'h a question. Our butclicroaniuguinst it ; our servants are woddiid to tlio old wliolosule wttstoful wuyB, which wem tq thcin eiisjer be-ciuiRe tlioy nra acciwtonied to tliein, A cook who will kuep and properly tend a soup-kettlo which bbull receive uiul utilize all that tho course preparations of ho butcher would re-qnirp her to trim uwny, who understands the ar( of making tho most of all these remains, is a treasure scarcely to bo Loped for. If such things are to bo douo, it must be primarily through tho cducuted brain of cultivated women who do not scorn lo tnru their culture and refinement upon domestic problenirj. When meats have been properly divided, ho that ouch portion cuu receive its own appropriate stylo of tteatuieut, next comesi the consideration of tho modes of cooking. These may bo divided iuto two great general classes: thoso where It is desired to keep the juices within tho incut, as in baking, broiling, uud frying, and thoso whoso object is to extract tho juice and dissolve tho fibre, as iu tho making of soups and stxwS. In the lirst class of operations, the process must be as rapid as may consist with the thorough cooking of all the particles. In thin branch of cookery, doing quickly is doing well. The fire must be brisk, the attention alert. The introduction of cooking-stoves offer to careless domestics facilities for gradually drying up"nioats, und despoiling them of all flavor and nutriment, facilities which appear to bo very generally laid hold of. They have ulmont banished tho geuuino, old fashioned roast meat from our tables, and left iu its stead dried meats vitu their most precious und uutrative juices evaporated. How few cooks, unassisted, are competent to tho sjmplo process of broiling a beefsteak or multou-chop 1 how very generally ono has to chooso between these meats gradually dried away, or mimed on tho out-sido and raw within 1 Yet in England theso articles never eomo on tablo dono aini.n j their perfect cooking is as absolute a certainty as the rising of tlio sun. No one of these rapid processes of cooking, however, is so generally abused as frying. Tho frying-pan baa awful sins to answer for. What untold horrors of dyspepaia Jiave urispn frpm its smoky depths, like tho ghosts from witches' caldrons 1 Tho fizzle of frying meat is us a warning kuell on many uu ear, saying, "Touch not, taste not, if you would not burn and writhe 1" Yet thoso who have travelled abroad re-! member that somo of tho lightest, most palatable, and most digestible preparations of meat havo como from this dangerous source. But wo fancy quite Other rites und ceremonies inaugurated the process, und quite other hands performed its offices, than those known to our kitchens. Probably tho delicato cotelelks of France nro not Hopped down jnto half melted grease, there gratlaally to warm and soak and fizzle, while Uidily goes in and out on her other ministrations, till dually, when thoroughly saturated, and diuuer hour impends, 6ho bethinks herself, and crowds thofiro bolow to roaring heat, und liuishes tho process by a smart burn, involving tho kitchen and surrounding precincts iu volumes of jjtygiuQ gloam. . ... From such preparations has uriscn I ho very current medical opinion that fried meats aro indigestible They aro indigestible, if they ure greasy j but French cooks havo taught us that a thing has bo more need to bo greasy because emerging from greuso than Venus had to bo salt because she roso from tho bea. There nro two ways cf frying employed by the French cook. Ono is, to iminorso tho nr-ticlo to bo cooked in boiling fat, with on cm-pilosis on tho present participle, and tho philosophical priuciplo is, so immediately (o crisp overy pore, at tho first nioineut or two of immersion, ns ctTectually to seal the interior against the intrusion of greasy particlos ; it can then remaiir as long us may be necessary thoroughly to cook it, without imbibiug any more of tho boiling fluid thuu if it were inclosed iu an egg shell. The olher method is to rub a perfectly smooth iron surface with jnst enough of some oily substance to prevent the meat from udheriug, and cook it with a quick heat, ns cakes are. baked on a griddle, lu both these cases there must be a most rapid application of heat that can bo made without burning, uud by tho adroituess shown in working out this problem the skill of tho cook is tested. Any ono whose cook attains this important secret will find fried things qnito us digestible and often moro palatable than auy other. - In tho gcuond department of moat-cookery, to wit, tho glow and gradual application of heat for the softening uud( dissolution of its filir. and tho extraction of its juices, common ,t:ooks aro'ipqualiy iintraincd ' Whei-o is the so-called cook W'io uuucrstaiiqs now to prepare soups und stews ? Theso aro precisely the articles in which a French kitchen excels. The soup kettle, mado with a double bottom, to prevent burning, is a permanent,ever-present institution, and the coarsest and most impracticable meats distilled through that alembic come ont ngainin soups, jellies, or savory stows. Tho toughest cartilage, oven the bones, being first cracked, are hero made tq give forth their hiddon virtues, ODd to fiso iu indicate and appetizing, forms. Que grout law governs all theso preparations : tho application of heut must be gradual, steady,Iqng-pro-tracted, never touching iho point of active boiling.' Hours of quiet simmering dissolve all dissoluble parts, soften the sternest fibre, and unlock every minuto cell In which Naturri has sfored away her treasures of nourishment. This careful and protracted application of heat and tho skilful uso of flavors constitute the two main points in oil those nice preparations of meat for which the French have so runny names, processes by which a delicacy can bo imparted to the coarsest and chenpeft food superior to that of the finest arjicleg under less philosophic treatment French soups und stows are a study.and they would not be an unprofitable one to any person who wishes to live with comfort and oven elegance on small means. John liull looks down from the snblimo of ten thousand a year on French kickshaws, as ha calls them ; "Give me ,my meat cooked so I inay know what jt is !'' An ox roasted whole is dear to John's soul, and his kitchen arrangements are Titanic. What magnificent rounds and sirloins of be"f, revolving on self. roguliitingiBpits, with B rich Click of sutiefac-tion, before grates piled with roaring fires I Lef qs do justico to tlio royal cheer. Nowhere aro the charms of pure, unadulterated animal food, Bet forth iii moro imposing style. For John is rich, and what does he care foi odds and omls and parings f lias he not all the beasts of the forest, and the cattle on 'ft tbonsnnd hills f What does he want of economy T Hut his brother Jean has not ten thousand pounds a year, notliing like it j Lilt ho makes up fur the slend"Mi',ss of his purso by boniiilli'fls fertility of iuvoiftiou and delicucy Of practice. ' John bewail riioci ing at Joan'f soups and runouts, bit all Johu'a mod- u . , . ..... era sons and daughters send to Jean for thoir cooks, and the sirloins of England rise up and do bbeisuuco lo this Joseph with a white apron who comes to rule in their kitcheus. Thero is no animal libra that will not yield itself up to long-continued, steady heat, liut the djfliculty with almost uny of the common servants who call themselves cooks is that tli'y havo not tho smallest notion of tho philosophy of tho application of limit. Such a ono Will complacently tell you concerning certain meats, that the harder you boil them tho harder they grow, an obvious fact, which, under her mode of treatment, by an iudiscrini in ate galloping boil, has frequently come under hor personal observation. If you tell hor that such mcut must stand for six hours in a heat just boiow tho boiling point, alio will probably answer, "Yes, Ma'am." and go on her own way. Or she will let it stand till it bums to tho bottom of tho kcltlo, a most common tormiiintion of tho experiment. Tho only way to niako suro of the matter is cither to import a French kettlo, or to lit into un ordinary kettle a fnlso bottom, such as uny tinman may muko, that shall leavo a space of uu inch or two between the moat and the lire. This kettlo may be niuiutainetl as u constant habitue of tho range, und ino it thircook may bo instructed to throw all tho fibrous trimmings of meat, ull tho gristle, tendons, and bones, havingpreviously broken up these others with a mullet' Such a kettle will furnish the basis for clear, rich soups or other palatnblo dishes. Clear soup consists of the dissolved juices of tho meut and gelutiiio of the bones, cleared from tho fat nud fibrous portions by straining when cold, Tho grpase, which rises to tho top of tho fluid, may thus bo cusily removed. In a stow, on the contrary, yeu boil down this soup till it permeates, the fi'uro which long ex posing to heat ha3 softened. All that re-Inains, alter tho proper preparation of the fibre 7 !. ..... it 1 ! :.. !.:- uuu jincud, is uio unvoting, tiiiu u i iu iuir, particularly, that French soup? excel thoso of America and Kugland and all tho world. English and American soups nro often heavy and hot with spices. There afe appreciable, tastes in thum. They bum your mouth with cayenne or clovo or allspice. You can tell at once what is in them, oltentimes to your sorrow. But a French soup bus a flavor which ono recognizes nt once ns delicious, yet not to bo characterized as due to uny single condiment ; it is tho just blending of many things. The same remark applies to all their stews, ragouts, and othor delicnto preparations. JVo cook will ever study thoso flavors ; but perhaps many cooks' mistresses may, and thus be ablo to import delicacy aud comfort to economy. As to thoso things called hash?, commonly manufactured by unwutched, untaught cooks, out .of tho remains of yesterday's repast, let us not dwell too closely on their memory, compounds of meat, gristle, skin, fat, and burnt tibro, with a haudl'ul of pepper aud suit flung ut them, dredged with lumpy flour, watered from the spout of the tea-kettle, and left to simmer nt tho cook's convenience while sho is othorwiso occupied. Such aro tho best performances n housekeoper cuu hope for from an untrained cook, . But tiio cunningly devised minces, tho nrt-ful preparations choicely flavored, which may bo made of yestorday's repast, by theso is tho true domestic artist known. No cook untaught by an cducuted bruin ever makes these, uud jet economy is a great gaiuer by them. As regards tho department of vegetables, their Dumber nud variety iu America aro so, great that a table might almost bo furnished by thesa alouo. Generally speaking, thoir cooking is a mora simplo urt, aud therefore moro likely to bo found satisfactorily performed, thau that of meats. If only they are nut drenched with rntjeid butter, their own' nativo excellence makes itself known in. most of tho ordiuary modes of preparation. Thero is, however, ono exception. Our stunch old friend, the pututo, is to other vegetables what bread is on tho table, hiko bread, it is held as a sort of siiic-qiM-non ; like that, it may bo made invariably palafjiMo iiy a littlo care in a few plain particulars, through neglect of which ik often becomes intolerable. Tho soggy, waxy, indigestible viand that ofteu apeurs in tho potato dish is a downright sacrifico of the better nature of this vegetable. Tho potato, nltrilive nnd harmless as It appears, belongs to a family suspected of very dan"crous traits, i It is a family connection pf the deadly-nightshade ami other ill-reputed gentry, and sometimes snows strange proclivities to evil, now breaking out uproariously, ns in the noted potato-rot, and now more covertly in various evil affections. For this reason scientific directors bid ns beware of the water iu which potatoos nrq boiled, into which, in appears, the evil principle is drnwn off; nnd they caution us not to shred them into stews without previous suffering the si ices to lie for an hour or so in salt and water. These cautions aro worth attention. Tho most usual modos of preparing tho potato for tho table ore by roasting or boiling. These processes are so simple that it is com monly supposea every cook unnej-smnos mom without ejiocial directions ; and yet rhero is scarcely an uninstrncted cook who can boil or roast a potato. ' A good roasted potato is a delicacy worth a dozen compositions of tho cook book ; yet when wo ask for it, what burnt shrivelled abortions nro' presented to ns I Biddy rushes to her potato basket and pours out two dozen of different sizes, some having in them three times tho amount of matter of others. These being washed, she tumbles them into her oven at a leisure interval, nud thero lets them lie till it is time to servo breakfast, whenever that may be. As a result if the Inrgest aro cooked, the smnllest are presented in cinders, and the intermediate Bizes nro withered and watery. Nothing is so utterly ruined by a few moments of overdoing. That which at the righ moment wns iilump with mealy richness, ft quarter of an hour later shrivels and becomes vjatery, and it is iu this ttate that roast potatoes aio most frequently served. ' Iu the same manner we have seen boiled potatoes from an untaught cook coming npon tho tablo Uke lumps of yellow wax, aud the I sumo nrticle, the day after, nnder'the directions of a skilful mistrcfs, appearing in snowy balls of powdery lightness In ,thO one case, they were thrown in their skins iut) water, and suffered to soak or boil, as the case might be, at the cook's leisure, and aftor they were bolied to stood in the water till she was ready to (icel them, ln the other case, the potntoes being first peeled were boilod as quickly as possible in salted wnt'r, which the moment they were done was drained off, and then they were gently shaken for a minuto jr two over the fire to dry tlietu still more thoroughly.

At the distniico of two miles or moro, on our approach, tho surfaco was visible, owing to its slight southward slope. It had precisely the appearance of being deeply covered with snow, save in ono part, about a fourth of its area, where it was bright green. Wo knew that this snow was no other thau tho female gaunets, crowded together in tho act of Bitting ou thoir eggs ; but by no inspection wuu powenul glasses could we discuru a single point where tho rock appeared between them.

It is just as choap fly ing, he thinks. His true homo, like that of tho frigate-bird is tho air. This is iudicated in his structure.

Tho steamer California arrived hero at a late hour last evening, 58 hours from Fort Puhuki, bringing important dispatches from Sherman, and glorious confirmatory intelligence of tho capture oi onvaunan on tlio 2lst inst. Ou the 20th, Sherman had nearly comnlo- tod tho investment of the city and captured Fort Leo nud several other' minor oi;t-works in the immediate vicinity of the priucipul on-trcuchineutj surrounding the town, anil planted his soigu batteries iu such close proximity to the rebel lines ns to command effectually evory position held by the force's under command of Gen. I ardce. He then sent a sum mons by flag of truc'o to tho effect that if tho' pluco was not m a certain time surrendered, a bombardment and assault would at once ooui-mence.To this summons tho wily rebel General sent back a reply that, as bis communications wore yet open and his nion fully supplied with subsistence and stores of evory kipd.ho was enabled to Aiithstacd a lougseige.tmd was do- lurmiuon to uoiu we city to ttie very last mo-uiciil nud defend Iho citizens and property which bud bcou placed undor his protection, until his forces were overpowered and compell ed to surrender. Every preparation had been made by Sher man to assudlt the rebel position the next day, but when the morning of tho 21st inst-, dawned, it was ascertained that thO enemy ' had evacuated their ontrenehmonts. Sevortd, regiments df infantry woro immediately advanced who took possession of thorn, diid shortly' afterwards Sherman entered the city at thejjhend of his body guard and received, from tho hands of u deputation of citizens the surrender of tho placo; It appears that Gen. nardoe on the night of tho 20th, seeing tho impossibility of holding thy city, and fearing that tlio ouly moans of esedpo left open across tho Savanuuh"'wn3 likely to be cut off at auy moment, determined to avuil himself of this routo for his retreat His troops immediately set to work to par. tially destroy tlie navy yaid and Govoniuieot property, and at twilight under protection of two iron clads Rams, succeeded in crossing the Suvanuah River, over the Causeway to tho north side, intending to push forward to Charleston. Thirty-two thousand bales of cottou were stored iu tlio city, which the rob-els in their liasto neglected to destroy. The two iron-clad rams were suuk and all tho government property and stores which they could not get rll'with thorn they burned or threw into the rivei . Fooj small Btonmers and one gunboat were captured, which, together with the cotton and a largo amount of rebel munitions of wur, form a part of tho spoils of Sherman's victorious army. ' . - ' .
