of tho creeping evils soldiers’ flesh is bo-
ruditary heir to. It is a most glorious

courses in the vicinity of the camp are
lined wiLh'n horde of soldiers, who, are
performing tho Healthful rites of bodily
ablution from vermin und terra firm*,
and washing tboir dusty, soiled garments.
The jaded uiul almost worn out homes
of the staff, ambulances, wagons and ord
nance trains are grazing and rolicking in
the old Helds adjacent to us, and tho gt

feel it a most welcome respite from labor
to repose.

Thoro wore in all seven corps. We find

the figures. The loss in that division was
1,107; indicating perhaps about 3,600 for
the carpi. Of the remaining corps, the
6th (Meade's) and J2th (Slocum's) wore
a ;>a’t ot tho force that crosqod at Ivolly’s

Editor Richmond Whig :
The fruqueiit, fttiluro of tho grain crop,
and the scarcity of grain, induced by
some other accidental causes, ha* drawn
the attention of chemist* to the proces-
of broad-baking, either with u view to
finding some substitute for wheat flour,
or olse to find tno mean* of rendering
the whole of tho nutritive principles of
tho cereals available f r consumption.
The latter direction has already fur
nished available result*. It is known
that the bran separated Iron* flour con
tain* a comparative large proportion of
nitrogenized substance, namely, that con
stituent of the flour which contribute*
most to nutrition. Until quite recently
the bran was lost to the nutrition of man.
Now, however, it has been shown thu
this nitrogenized substance may be ex
tracted from the brim without much
trouble and erpensc, mi to obtain tlu*
whole of its valuabl matter. Thi* pro
cess, recommended w y a number of rbe-
mists, was ultimately patented in Franei
by n Mbs. Durut. The manipulation i-
curried out in tho following manner.*—
Bran is mixed up with boiling wuter in a
kettle, OV«r a li.odernto tire, so that tin
mixture has a semi-fluid consistency.-
Tho mixture is now heated carefully un
til tho bran lose* ii raw ttnoll—not till ii
is cooked; it is thou transferred into bag*
and pressed.
The pressed eako is treated once mon
in tho -*8010 manner, mixing it with wuter,
a 1 lowing to boil for a short time, and
pressing. Tho fluid by the second opera
tion is used instead of water, for a freuh
portion ot bran. By the first pressing a
syrup juice is obtained, complet'd v *utu-
ratod with gluten, and which is dostim*.
to replace tlie pur® water in the proce*-
of bread baking—thus gaining for the
broad a largo proportion of valuable nu
triment entiroly lost before. Tho econo
my of the process is thus stated : A bn*.
o( flour of tlie average weight of thr»*<
hundred and twelve pounds made ini*
bread with water in the usual manner,
yields on an average one hundred and
loaves of four pounds each. A bag
of the New York Herald, who witnessed
the “stampode,” writes:
The Hying Gormans came dashing
over the field in crowds, stampeding and
running a*only men do run-whon con
vinced tliHt sure destruction is awaiting
them. I must confess (hat I have no
ability to do justice to the scene* that
followed. It wn* my lot to bn in tlio cen
tre of that field when the panic hurst
upifti us. May I never ho a witness to
another such scant*. On one hand was a
solid column of infantry rotreuting at
double uuiok ; on the othor was a dense
mass uf beings w ho wore flying n* ast a*
their legs could carry tlu m, ftlfibwed up

volleys in upon u* t yelling and hooting,
to increase tho confusion ; hundreds of
cavalry horses, lejt riderless at tho first,

batteries flying from tho hold; battery

pouring in upon them! To add to the
terror of tho occasion thoro was but ono
means of escape from tho field, and that
