A\ EIUUiH VIBW OK THE WAR FROM A
WORTH ERT PTOITIOH.
Under date of New York, May 13, (he cor
respondent of the Ix>ndon Time*thus give* hi»
▼lew* ofthe war from the Northern standing
point :
Shonh) of “victory’' resound in the streets
from the voice of the newsboys. The word
“victory, ’ in large type, stand* at the head of
the flaring column* of the second, third, fourth,
fifth, arid tenth editions of the newspapers:
and in still larger letters, that he who runs may
read, at the corners of the street*, where the
bulletins of battles are exhibited to the crowd;
hut victory nevertheless is not achieved, and
seems as distant as ever. Hitherto the march
of Grant—though if it lie ultimately success
ful, it will he considered heroic—is the ad
vance of a piece of mechanism. He Been
no obstacle, and goes Mindly and ruth
lessly on. He trusts to nothing but superior
numbers and hard fighting, The lives of his
men are of no value. He throws them away
by thousands, to gain half a mile of jungles.
He has pushed on lor five leagues and paid
about 9(XX) lives for each.
At every step be fights at disadvantage, on
ground of the enemy's cboeing. But he fights
on. lli* men are picked off by unerring sharp
shooters from behind every tree, but his order
is still to push forward. Hi* generals fall as if
they were of no more account than private
sololers. Up to Tuesday evening, the seventh
day of the conflict, he bad lost thirteen of them
in killed, wounded and prisoners, and at least
45,090. TbiH loss is admitted by friend* and
admirers, white those who aro incline to add
15,000 to the enormous estimate.' But still he
hold* his way undaunted, seeing nothing, car
ing lor nothing but Richmond, which, if he
ever reach, upon theterrn3 of these seven days,
he will reach withoutso much as a body guard
—a solitary piisoner. The havoc committed
in his ranks was sickening to reflect upon.
One New, York regiment, the pride of the
city, which not long since marched down
Broadway amid flaunting banners, wuvlDg ker
chiels. loud huzzas, and tle music of drum
imd life, .suffered so terribly, that out of its
full complement but four officer* and fifteen
men were left after half a day’s fighting.—
Whole brigades have lost their officers and
two tliiid* of their rank and file, and, having
none to lead them, have been incorporated
with other brigades, only less cruelly decima
ted than themselves in having a brigadier left
to recognize their shattered remnants. And
ail this time the desperate struggle has only
been waged on thu outskirts of thy Confeder
ate works, and in such positions as Gen. Lee
would prefer to see an enemy iu whom he wish
ed to annihilate.
But it ii all one to Gen. Grant. With the
sublimity of genius, or of madDess, the for
tune of war must determiue which, he has
declared to Mr. Stanton, who has communica
ted the news to the public, “That lie will go
to Richmond by that line, if it takes him ail
the summer to do it.’’ Impulsive and easily
led as the people are, and apt to bo astonished
at nothing, they are astonished at this audac
ity. They do not know how to account for it
on any other supposition than that Grant is
the greatest os well as the most daring general
whom the world ever saw and aro content to
wait a little longer for tho results before they
change their opinion. But the voice of wail
ing and lamentation is heard in too many
thousands of households in fids and all the
cities of the North to permit unqualified ap
probation of a system of war so costly as this,
or to silence the buzz of adveise criticism.
If Grant’s army, instead of a, throbbing
think ng mass of human beings, wo but an ag
glomeration of steel and iron—a monster
steam engine, cunningly put together for tho
purposes of destruction, its driver could not
more deliberately urgo it forward in its piti
less career. People begin to ask themselves
what will happen, if, alter ail, thu machine
shall be dashed to pieces by the obstructions
that it will have to but agaiust if it continues
to advance. They ask in vain. No one can
answer, or no one will, except by a shrug of
thu shoulders and a look of resignation
Amid all the terrible excitement of the war
news it is easy to perceivo there is an uuder
cuirentof deep feeling. Tho people are not
so vain glorious as formerly. They are not so
certain of victory as they have been on previous
occasions, and the brilliant strategy of Lee,
ami the unconquerable heroism of the South
ern army, export ml mi rat ion on every side.
The fact is that the North, even in this day of
extremity, is proud of the noble qualities ex
hibited by the Southern army and people, and
feels, possibly not for the first time, a misgiv
ing that the war was a mistake, and that if it
were possible for the North and South to shake
hands, and to be each other as once they were,
it would be a glorious privilege and a blessiug
to both of them. Never before did the peace
party speak out go boldly, and so mauy agree
with them.
Kven Mr. Wendell Phillips*, as blatant a
war trumpeter ns the land ever produced, in
clines his heart to better impulses. No living
American orator is so eloquent as this gentle
man. lie is as direct as Mr. Bright, as calm
us Mr Cobden, as persuasive as Mr. Gladstone,
us elegant ms Lord Carlisle, and when occasion
demands, can boas fiery as Lord Derby. His
language is the ptlrert English, without the
slightest taint of the Yankee idiom or accent, or
the least approach to American slang. He
never “speaks to buncombe,” or indulses in
the rbodomontade which his countrymen call
'‘•preadcagleism.”
i!is sathe cuts like the polished razor, and
draws blood with the scaicely perceptible touch
that shows the thorough master of the instru
ment. If ha seldom condescends to be passion
ate, and loses in this respect some of the pow
er which lm might otherwise wield over mis
cellaneous multitudes, he makes amends for
the defect, if it be one, by a wealth of illustra
tion and a cogency of argument that show the
lull mind, the trained intellect, and compel ad
miration, if they do not carry conviction. He
has, as is w«dl known, been among the most
rabid of the supporters of the war, though he
has never been much of a friend to the Gov
crem“iit by whoso agencies it has been con
ducted.
In ihe days when the Democrats governed
the country, and when the idea of a dl-truption
of a Union was scouted alike by the Northern
and the Southern leaders of that long domi
nant party, he did not hesitate to proclaim that
separation was preferable to the continusDce
ot slavery. Long after the outbreak" of the
nvar he confessed that for nineteen years he had
beena disuoionist and a secessionist. His whole
governing ide»has been the scandal, the wrong,
the horrors, the iniquity of slavery, tor the des
truction of which he would cheerfully have
sacrificed tho integrity of the republic; and con
sumed to split ihe country into a heptarchy.
Yet an soon ns hi* party came into [lower,
he—so cool, *o steadfast and so liberal—was
carried awav by the madness of his country
men, clamoied for the restoration of the Union,
Y, hieh he Lid denounced and despised as rot
ten and uunatni>l. and spoke and acted as if
the preservation of the freedom of the North
was not worth a thought. Events, however,
have wrought a change in his mind. The preach
er of war has suddenly become .the apostle of
peace. The philanthropy in which hi* was nur
tured lias reasserted its power to govern his
conscience. He has gone back to his ti.st loves;
lie has remembered—it will uit do say Kc has
discovered —that the liberty of the white man k
worth something, not only to the white man
himself, but to the cause of civilization. He
Ims recanted his errors aud has become as
nearly a statesman ns Festus was a .htistian.
In a speech delivered on Tuesday last at the
Church of the Puritans, on occasion of the
thirty-tiist Anniveisary of the American Antl-
JSlavery Society, he avowed opinions which
plait'd him in the same rank with Mr. Val
fandighaui, Mr. Fernando Wood, Mr. Benja
min Wood. -Mr. Long and Mr. Harris, and every
other man in the country who believes that
the war can neither restore the Uuion nor
preseive liberty and in full sympathy with the
impartial public opinion of England aud
Fiance, aud ot all Europe, which saw from the
tirst what he only *ees iu this day ot awful con
flict. He mournfully confessed that the
youngest American would not live to see a
lestoration of the Bepuhlic of his forefathers;
that if peace came, of which he saw no
pr< speot. whatever Grant might do, 800,000
men would be thrown upon the community
'unfitted for the ordinary avocations of life,
and therefore a standing menace and danger
to the public liberty; that for half a century
mo one but a soldier would have a ehauco of
tho Presidency ; that the right arm of every
man in the country ami of every male child
that was h-iealter to be born into it, was and
would be mortgaged to pay the Interest on the
bebt. ,
Mr. Phillips confessed his shame and humil
iation at th-* thought that twenty nr.; lions of
white people in the North had gone down on
their knees and implored the assistance of
black men and slaves tor the work of conquer
ing half the numl er of white meo iu the South.
It might be thought that Mr. Phillips, enter
taining such i-entimerts as these, is ready to
do now what Mcssars. Lincoln, Seward, G'eely.
Everett and others were ready to do in 1860—
let the South depart without further hindianc",
recognize its independence, snd advise Lis
countrymen to do the same. But no word to
(hat effect is to be found iu bus remarkable
speech. He compared North and South to an
eagle and a fish chained to each other. The
eagle could not live in the water, nor the fish
in the air ; and one of the two had to die, in
order that the other might live. But why, it
-might be asked.-' should either die. Cannot
Pa'-h return to its own element bv the sever
enee of the chain that connects them? Mr.
i Phillips meant as much, but seems to have
lacked the courage to .av so. But, haviDg
gone so far, b» will some day or other be
obliged to go farther. His speech was for
p eac e, os far a* it went; ahd, coming from a
man of his character, it was a sign of the
tin: * Reason has long been silent in the
council? of the North. It is of good angury
Pott its voice begins to be heard above the diu
even of this awful wreck, and the men of
thought are learning to take counsel of tbe.r
conscience, instead of their passions, and dar
ing ouce again to tell the people unpalatable
truths.
F..M) OK THE KAUMSII HAM CASE.
Court of £xcktq>ier, ilny 26 —1 kt Attorney Gen
eral v. Laird and Othars — Jht kiteom Hams.
At the sittings of the Court this morning,
the Solicit** General said that he had to inform
their Lordships that the case of “The Attorney
General v. Laird and others,’’ in which a trial
at Bar hs.d been appointed, would not now be
tiied. In pursuance of an arrangement come
to between the Crown and the claimants, the
case had been withdrawn, and judgment would
pass lor the Crown. It was proper he should
state that the object of the Government was
not to punish individuals by fine or forf- iture,
but to prevent vessels issuing from British
ports to make war upon countries with whom
the nation was at.peace. In the present in
stance that object has been attained, and there
fore the case was at an end.
Mat 27.—The Attorney General and Sir
Hugh Cairns, Q 0., came into this court this
afternoon, and the former, being asked by the
Lord Chief Baron if he ha 1 anything to move,
said—l have nothiog to move; but I wish to be
permitted to make a statement to the Court
with reference to a subject mentioned .to the
Court yesterday by my learned friend the Solici
tor General on my behalf. He stated that he
attended in consequence of an arrangement
that had been made in the case of the “Attor
ney General vs Laird,’’ about the steam rams
at Birkenhead, that be believed tbo judgment
of the Court would pass for the Crown, an ex
pression which, no doubt, was meant by him
merely to convey tire impression of his own
mind as to what would be the formal mode
of giving effect to the arrangement that had
been entered into by the parties and certainly
not Intended to convey any other idea.
The Lord Chief Baron—What we understand
from the iioliciter General’s observation was
this —that the claim had been withdrawn on
the part of the claimants of the rams ; that
somebody had come in and mud# a claim. We
understood that the claim had been withdrawn,
and therefore the seizure on the part of the
Crown remained uncontented.
The Attorney General—lt would be prema
ture. The learned Solicitor General did not
mean to convey to your Lordships’ minds the
impression that those formal steps had either
actually been taken at the time, or that the
form had been finally resolved upon. He sta
liis impression us to what would he the conse
quence of the arrangement which had been
made, and as it might be possible that an erro
neous construction may be put on what he
said, I am most anxious to comply with the
exceedingly reasonable wish which lias been
felt on the oilier side, that there should be no
misunderstanding at all us to the time position
of the matter; and with yeur permission 1 will
state, in a* few words ag possible, the true state
of the affair. The Crown has to the last assert
ed that there was a valid seizure for a valid
cause of forfeiture.
The claimants have to the last asserted and
still assort, that there was no such valid cause
of forfeiture ; but the matter had been by ar
rangement withdrawn from the cognizance of
this court, so that no determination of it
should be necessary, and that has been done
upon the footing that the Crown have agreed
to pay to tho claimants the value which tiie
Crown themselves have placed upon the prop
erty ; that is, to be entirely without prejudice
to the position of the Crown or the claimants
with regard to that question that would have
been required to be tried, as if the arrangement
had not been made. The mode ol doing it
and giviDg effect to that arrangement had not
been finally arrived at; hut no mode will be
adopted that will in any degree whatever au
thorize any one to say there is any admission
by the claimants that it was a valid forfeiture.
Sir Hugh Cairns.—l take leave to say it is im
portant that Lhtre should be no misapprehaii
sion in a matter of- this kind, and that, inas
much as a misapprehension has arisen—l
am obliged to my learned friend the Attor
ney General for so dearly and distinctly
removing the cause of the misapprehension.
The Lord Chief Baron. —Certainly, the expla
nation does become necessary fiom what, was
stated yesterday by the Solicitor General, for
undoubtedly his statement was that the claim
ou the part of the claimants was withdrawn,-
and therefore the seizure stands as an uncon
tested seizure of the vessels.
The Atteruey General. —My friend meant
that as to tho matter of form—with respect to
the mode of and ting it.
Sir Hugh Cairns.—l am sure the Solicitor
General did not intend to do otherwise.
The Lord Chief Baron.—Tho Sol icitor Gener
al unquestionably used the woms '‘the olaim
had been withdrawn;’’ there is no doubt about
that.
Sir Hugh Cairns.—Tlistt might have given
rise to tho misapprehension. lam veiy glad it
has been removed.
Baron Martin.—l can perfectly well under
stand how the misapprehension did arise in
the last two or three words used by the Sol
icitor General.
The Attorney General—l am very sure that
the language of the Solicitor General is ex
plained in a very simple way. The negotia
tions and letters that passed between the par
ties involved this form of expression,— “so
much money would be paid for the relinquish
mentrof the claims of tho olaimants,” aud be
used the same language.
Baron Bramwell—l should say that he did
not convey to my mind that the claimants had
done anything like acknowledging that he
was in the wrong.
The Attorney General.—No.
Baron Bramwell.—l wish to say that.
Thus the matter ended,
Decision Under tub II »bkas Corpus suspen
sion. Act. —On Friday last writs of Habeas Cor
pus were granted by tho C. K. District Judge,
directed to Capt. John Cunningham, acting
Provost Marshal, commanding him to brhig
before the Court, next day, the bodits of Dan
iel Fry and eight others, who, iu their peti
tions, for the writs, averred that they were im
prisoned without lawful warrantor authority.
On the return day of the writs, Henry Wil
liams, Esq, for the government, presented be
fore the Court a written statement of the Pro
vost Marshal, to the effect that tho prisoners
had been arrested by a military officer, and
were now detained by order of the command
ing Geueral, for the offence of encouraging
desertions to the enemy, and asking for time
to make a move complete return and commun
icate with the War Department for instructions
as to the proper answer to be made. His re
quest was resisted by petitioners’ counsel on
the ground that ihe General Order directing a
military officer to refuse to produce the bodies
of prisoners was not in pursuance of the Act of
Congress, which requires a certificate under
oath ts the foundation of such refusal. The
Couit mled that the bodies must be produced
before a motion for delay could he available.
The cases were then postponed until Monday'
On the call of the cases on Monday. Mr.
Williams presented such written certificate, on
the oath <.f Capt. Cunningham, stating mat
the prisoners were held in custody under the
authority of the Secretary of the War, and for
the offeuse of encouraging desertions to the
enemy, and that the officer declined to appear
in person or return the bodies in answer to the
writs of Habeas Corpus.
After argument, the court held the return
sufficient under the ’’Act to suspend the pri
vilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus in certain
cases,” and ordered further proceedings sus
pended.
The constitutionality of the Act was not
brought in question, but the Judge >n deliver
ing his opinion thought there was no doubt of
the power of Congress to suspend the writ in
the emergency and on the conditions specified.
In answer to a suggestion as to whether the
, certificate under oattx of the mi'itary officer
was traversable, the Court promptly ruled that
such certificates was not traversable.

SEA MOH«A*rS CAMP AIWA I\TO Rl\-
TCCKY.
Annexed will be found a full and interest
ing sketch from the Richmond lA&rainer of
Gen Morgan's late campaign into; Kentucky :
Many persons, ignorant of the actual military
situation, haveexpret>sed the opinion atidare still
under the belief that General Morgan's laet
campaign into Kentucky should never have
been undertaken, and that, in a m litary point
of view, it was barron of results. They think
that he would hare been more serviceably em
ployed had he been in a position to operate
against Hunter and harras* him in his retreat
from Lynchburg. With the facts then before
the public these opinions were natural. Had
only Hunter been menacing Southwestern and
Middle V irginia, these views would have been
sound.
But, to understand Morgan s campaign and
appreciate its importance as a military move
ment, it must be known and borne in mind
that, while .Sheridan and Hunter were let loose
with their hordes, upon the central part of the
State, a formidable army was preparing to
burst over the Kentucky border udou South
western Virginia. Burbridge, with six thous
and men, was already rout to destroy our
salt and lead works, to operate against the
Virginia and Tennetsee railroad, and then, if
practicable, to cooperate with Hunter. To
guard an exteusive and important region of
country against this formidable storm of war
General Morgan had a comparatively small
force, and was under tiro disadvantage of be
ing ignorant at what point the enemy would
strike. The question which required to be de
cided promptly was, whether it were better to
await the enemy’s onset, or to prevent it alto
gether by “carrying the war into Afr ica”—
dashing into his country', capturing his towns,
destroying his supplies, tearing up his railroads
and, in short, giving him enough to do at home.
General Morgan adopted the latter plan, and
tnat he acted wisely is abundantly shown by
the result. Burbridge never got to Virginia.—
He was detained in Kentucky by Morgan un
till Hunter’s campaign culminated in disaster;
the time when hi.-, expedition could have been
made with any hope of success was past. Our
troops who had defeated Hunter would have
defeated and, perhaps, destroyed him. Our
salt and lead wonts and our important rail
road in Southwestern Virginia remain untouch
ed, monuments to the military enterprise and
sagacity of General Morgan.
That it may be seen General Morgan accom
plished what we give him credit for. we give a
lesumeofhis campaign, made up •of facts
known to us from thoroughly authentic sources.
Most of tho facts up to the time of the capture
of Lexington we published tome days ago, but
a brief recapitulation of them will not be found
tedious especially as they explain what is en
tiieiy new, that portion of his campaign which
followed his meeting with Burbridge. •
He moved into Kentucky at the head of
twenty one hundred men, half of whom were
dismounted. Colonel Giiiner commanded the
horse, and Colonel D. Howard Smith the foot.
At Bound Gap he encountered two Yankee
regiments, numbering about seven hundred
men; attacked them in an Intrenched position
and routed them, capturing their stores and an
inconsiderable number of horses. The routed
enemy reheated towards Pikeville, whereat
the time was. Burbridge, with six thousand
men, on tbo point of starting into Virginia.—
From Pound Gap. Geneial Morgan, with his
mounted men, moved rapidly on Mount Ster
ling, thirty miles from Lexington and one hun
dred and twenty from the Virginia border,
where the garrison, after a stubborn resistance
were driven into the town and surrendered.—
The fruits of this victory were four hundred
prisoners and immense quantities of military
stores, the latter of which we destroyed. In
the engagement he lost some valuable officers
ami a good many men. From this point Gen
eral Morgan sent raids against different impor
tairt lines of railroad, alt of which were suc
cessful. Major Chenoworth dtstroyed the
Kentucky railroad; Captain Jenkins that be
tween Louisville and Frankfort. Captain
Cooper took the fortifications around Nash
ville. Captain Evorqit moved upon and cap
tured Maysville, which was held by five hun
dred negro troops, who succeeded in escaping
west ofthe Ohio river, leaving their stores and
camp equipments to be destroyed by our men -
On the 9th of June General Morgan concen
trated his small force upon Lexington and cap
tured the town. Here he took horses enough
to mount his whole command. Having destroy
ed tho Government depots, stores and stables,
he moved on Cynthiana, a town thirty milts
north of Lexington. The place was defended
by a force of five hundred men. After a biisk
engagement the enomy took shelter in tho hous
es, from which they kept up the fight. Oar men,
having no cannon with which 10 drive them
from their cover, were obliged to fire the hous
es. When a large portion of the town had
been burnt the enemy surrendered.
Immediately after the capture of Cynthiana,
General Morgan ascertained that General Hob
son was coming to the relief of the place at the
head of abrigsfie. The gallant Giltner, with a
thousand men, was ordered out to meet him.
Giltner held tho enemy in check until the rest
of our force, not more than five hundred men,
were brought into action, After a desperate
fight ot three hours General Hobson surrender
ed himself and staff' and two thousand men.
Remark upon this briiliant victory were super
fluous. General Hob3on was paroled upon con
dition that he should exert h.mself to secure
the exchange and release of such of General
Morgan’s men as are now confined in Yankee
prisons, where they have been languishing tor
eleven months. General Hobson promised to
use his best efforts for their release, and declar
ed that, in the event ot failure, ho should con
sider himself bound to como into the Confeder
ate lines and report himself to General Morgan
as a prisoner of war. Genera! Morgan sent him,
with a deputation, from bis own command,
consisting of Major Chenoworth, Captain Calvin
Morgan and Dr. Good, to Cincinnati under flag
of tiuce.
On the 12th Burbridge, who, abandoning his
designs upon Virginia to attack him with, over
six thousand meu. General Morgan was en
cumbered with two thousand seven hundred
prisoners and a large number of wagons, which,
under the cover of heavy skirmishing, he suc
ceeded iu moving off in a northeustly direction
towards Augusta. When they had reached a
safe distance, after skirmishing with the enemy
for an hour or more, he retired by the Augusta
road without the loss of a single prisoner or
wagon. This affair displayed not less military
skill than the defeat and capture of Hobson.
Geueral Morgan then moved towards Fietn
ingburg, a town forty miles east of Cynthiana,
paroling his prisoneis as he went and dropping
them in squads at different points, so as to pre
vent their being speeuly collected and re organ
ized in case their paroles were disregarded.
At Flemingbuig he destroyed large quantities
of bacon and other supplies, and retired thence
into Virginia with all the wagons he had cap
tured during the expedition, and after having
lost an inconsiderable number of prisoners.
The command reached Abingdon. Virginia, on
the 21st day of June, after an absence of two
weeks.
From Rome.— Little Master Jones came into
our office Friday, looking sunburned, and
nearly worn down with fatigue. He resides at
Rome, Ga., and left ten days ago. He walked
te the Atlanta & West Point Railroad, a dis
tance of eighty miles, alone and unattended,
e.inying a little sack of clothing and several
letters tor refugees from their homes, all of
which he had faithfully delivered or was ma
king anxious enquiries as to where they should
be sent.
He gives a sad. sad, pictnrc of the city and
•count;y around Rt me. The Yankees had in
discriminately forced every negro man into
their armies aud sent all the negro women and
children North. They had literally and com
pletely robbed the citizens of all their provi
sions, their horses, their hogs, their cattle, their
sheep, and destroyed their crops. He told in
his simple style the tule of his suffering coun
trymen.
The Yankees having consumed the food of
the people, wtre nor suffering alike for food,
but the ravenous wolves were constantly
prowling through the country looking for eve
ry article of sustenance that might be l-y mere
chance left. They had no respect whatever
for tho feelings or virtue of women, but out
raged them everyday and everywhere, and in
stead of the brutal wretches being restrained
by their officers, the officers led them in their
hornd crimes and heartily joined the laugh la
the fiendish carnival.
No one had taken the oath of any standing,
and the great body of the people'hated the
enemy now with seven fold more bitterness
iban man ever hated bii fellow before. They
confidently believe that our army will drive
the enemy back and will once more welcome
the sight of our soldiers. —Macon Confederate.

FOREIGN ITEMS.
The Manchester Eng.) Guardian referring
to the feeling in Great Britain in regard to the
p si i ion of the German Powers, observes that
a year or two ago a rumor Vo the effect that the
French were preparing to extend their fron
tier to the left bank of the Rhine, would have
created thegieatest excitment in England and
the! almos unanimous sentiment, among all
classes, would*have been that such an aggres
sion and such an aggrandizement of the chief
military monarchy on the Continent mmt not
be tolerated for an hour. Even the first steps
in the realization of such a scheme would
have been the signal for a rupture ot the friend
ly relations with France, if not for open oppo
sition Now, it says, that if Louis Napoleon
were to move for that object, tho first remark
of nine out of ten Englishmen, we believe
would be. “It wiil serve Prussia right; she
has set the the example of spoliation and op
pression, and we at least will not interfere to
save her from the merited punishment of her
wrong deiDg.”
The New York TObserver contains a letter
from its correspondent at Larusca, in the Island
of Cyrus—Turkish dominions,—describing a
most remarkable lusus natur recently discover
ed there. It is nothing less than a woman with
horns growing out of her head! She has one
large horn on the side of her head ofthe size
and consistency of an ordinary ram’s horn,
besides three or four cornicles on otherparts of
the head. The writer states that he has seen
her, and that she has been visited by ne-rly
all the Consuls and Europeans in that place,
some of whom are making an effort to secure
her for exhibition.
Another exciting” Prize Fight’’ is to come
off on the 4th of October, in England, “ac
cording to the rules of tho ring of the Pugi
listic Benevolent Association." Joe. Coburn
and Jem Mace are expected on that occa

The Savannah Republican makes the follow
ing extract from a letter dated Nassau, June
23 : t
A large Yankee transport, the Courier, leafl
et! with provisions for Banks’ army, was wreck
ed near herS. I sec some of the officers here.
The Yankee Consul at this place was turned
out of his office; the people would not rent,
him one, and he refused to move, so they turn
ed his things into the street. The Confederate
agent then hired the office, and moved in in
mediately.

and Monteiioci, of Florence, have invented a
new mode of producing motive power Their
engine may he described as ,m atmosphere en
gine, a vacuum being produced in the cylin
ders, under the piston, by the exo'oshm
mixture of atmospheric aie with inflammable
gas. The explosion ie said to be without noise
and free from danger. The result of a long se’-
nes of experiments upon two machiuss-one*
them b„iug of twenty horse power, and tho other
ot .our, pioves that the consumption ofthe gaa
used is one third of a cubic met.e per
power per hour. The gas is Mid l>e _
dined at a cost of less than a penny the cubic
metie consequently the horse power can be ob
tained at about one-third of a penny the hour,
the machines constructed are reported to work
satisfactorily, and the principle to be squally
spp icabie to marine and locomotive engines.
Several patents b ive been taken out in this
country f-.r machines of this class Hitherto,
however, all explosive engines have failed to
fulfill thu promise of the inventors.—London
