WHAT WE CAPTURED AT MANASSAS.

It is now ascertained that stores and munitions
to the value of one million of dollars were captur-
ed by troops from the enemy in the recent bat
tie. Sirty-seuen pieces of artillery were taken,
among them one long rified 80 FOUNDER, which, by
the way, has already been moved in direction
where it will render good service. The rest of the
pieces are light field artillery, and IL Founders,
more than half riaed and superbly sighted, among
them several Parrot-guns, and several made on
James celebrated patent, The fortune of war put
into our hands, along with these carriages and
munition sufficient to them for days steady
firing.
1t is impossible to state anything with accuracy
as TO the quantity of muskets and small of all
sorts left the field. The number could not have
been less however than fifteen or twenty thousand
half of which the ordinance officers, charged with
their collection, think have disappeared into the
possession of unauthorized individuals Some OF
these latter may, through the vigorous measures
taken by the Chief of the Bureau, Major Gorgas,
be yet recovered he having ordered a thorough
search Of the surrounding country, and taken 9th
steps to reduce them into possession of the Gov
ernment. The most Of the arms found are very
fine, but much widowed and rusted by exposure.
They will nearly all have to be brought here and
thoroughly cleansed before being fit for use.
From fifteen to twenty thousand blankets were
undoubtedly LEFT on the field and strewn by the way
side. This is probably too moderate an estimate.
About one half of these will come in possession OF
the Government Haversacks cartridges boxes
knapsacks canteens and overcoats in immense
quantities were also thrown off by the flying enc
my, and now lay in immense piles before the Quar-
termasters Office at Manassas.
About one hundred and fifty wagons laden with
stores and ammunition, together with twenty pat
ent ambulances, the like of which, for convenience
and comfort not in the Confederate States also
form no nconsiderable portion of the spOld opbnd
of the recent victory. ...
Among the munitions captured are probably
quite two millions of cartridges, manufactured with
great pains and cost, and including a full assort-
ment of all calbres and kinds.
The Commssariat stores are represented to display
great thought and regard for the welfare of troops
and neulculate several valuable lessons in both the
quality of food and the arrangements for its prepar
atOn which II is hoped will not be lost on our own
Conmissaries. Each of the Federal soldiers was
supplied in his haversack with three days provisions
Among other things he was furnished with his cot.
fee in neat paper ground and mixed with sugar
so as to be ready for without further trouble
than the cooking. In word, all the appointment:
of the "Grand Army" in the various branches Of
staff arrangement were such as probably never en-
joyed By any expedition in the world.

! from generous and magnanimous people, yet
l feel it my duty to recommend the passage
OF JudciouS law to prevent the sacrifice of
property by forced sales in the collection of
debts.
You meet together at this special session,
surrounded by circumstances involving the
most solemn responsibilities the recolections
OF the gories OF the past, the reflections of the
gloomy present, and the uncertainty of the fu-
ture, all alike call upon you to discharge your
duty in spirit of patriotic courage, compre-
hensive wisdom and firm resolution. Never in
the history of our peace-loving Commonwealth
have the hearts of our people been so stirred
in their depths as at the present moment.
And, feel, that need hardly say to you, that
in the performance of your duties on this oc-
casion, and in providing the ways and means
for the maintenance OF our countryS glory
and our integrity 4 nation, you should be
inspired by feelings of self sacrifice, kindred
to those which animate the brave men who
have devoted their lives to the perilS of the
battle field, in defence of our nations flag.
Gentleman, place the honor of the State
in your hands. And pray that the Almighty
God, who protected our fathers in their efforts
to establish this our great constitutional liber-
ty-who has controlled the growth of civiliza-
foresake us; that He may watch over your
counsels, and may, in His providence, lead
those who have left the path of duty, and are
acting in open rebellion to the government,
back again to perfect loyalty, and restore
peace, harmony, and fraternity to our dstrac
ted country. A. q. CURTIN.

life. But as you value your life and liberty,

me your marriage certificate. / send you fif-

which perhaps you know is not a hundred

never told any one but myself, under the
promise of secrecy, the story of his Fleet Mar

CALICO PRINTING

No description of machinery at the present
day is more ingenious or interesting than that
for calico printing. AS it leaves the power
loom, calico is fabric without any pattern,
and of a dull, light buff color. In this state
its uses of course, very limited. 1t is
fit for outer apparel, for furniture, or in fact
for any purpose for which an ornamental It's
sue is required. 1t has also hairy or downS
tissue, and thus presents coarse and unfin-
ished appearance. The hairy .ilaments re-
quire to be removed, and the fabric must be
made of snowy-white before it is likely to
become of use to any extent. The dOwny fila
ments are removed in the same manner as
those of lace, either by rapidly drawing the
material over a sheet of copper at bright red
heat, or by passing it through gas flames and
the bleaching is accomplished by the rapid
agency of chemical force. The calico is boil
ed, washed, soaked in solution of chloride
OF lime, then in weak acid, and so alternately,
until at length all its impurities are removed,
and it becomes as white as could be desired.
Thus, in few hours, by the combined assis
tance of chemical science and few simple
mechanical expedients, the process Of bleach
ing is effected, which formerly occupied days
and even weeks, and was then often imperfect
ly employed or performed. After this the
bleached calico is ready for the reception of
its ornament, and this was formerly impressed
upon its surface by means OF engraved blocks,
charged with color; but more rapid process
is now employed. The patterns on printed
calicoes and similar figured cloths consist, as
is apparent on the slightest examination, of
continual repetition of the same figure. This
figure. whatever it be, so far it consists of
asingle color is engraved upon copper roller,
the length of which corresponds with the
breadth of the calico, and the circumference
of which corresponds with the length of the
pattern. In general in such cases, the breadth
of the pattern being much less than that of the
cloth, it is repeated many times in the width.
This pattern is therefore engraved upon the
sur face of the roller, the length extending
completely around it, and being repeated
throughout the length of the roller in the
same manner as it is intended to appear on
The cloth. This roller receives the coloring
matter by certain apparatus which first smears
and then wipes it, SO to remove all dye eX-
cept what fills the tncisons of the engraving.
The cloth is then pressed between this roller
and another which has soft surface, the two
being pressed severely together in their line
of contact. By this process the color deposit
ed in the lines of the engraved roller is trans
ferred to the cloth, and the printing is COM
pleted.

The following is too good to be lost. If is
often made subject of complaint that minis
ters OF the Gospel participate in political mat
ters. An anecdote of Mr.. Field, who lived
In Vermont several years ago, contains good
reply: AS the-reverend gentleman went, at a
time, to deposit his vote, the officer who re-
ceived it being friend and parishoner, but
opposite politics, remark ed-ssf am sorry. Mr..
Field to see you here" "Why 70 asked Mr..
Field. Because" said the officer, s.Christ
said his kingdom was not of this world. -
ssHas no one right to vote,'' said Mr.. Field,
ssunless he belongs to the kingdom OF Satan 2"
This at once let in ray of light to the dark
ened chambers of the officers Uranium, which
he had never thought of before.

PRIvATEERING.-We trust that the Govern.
ment means to adopt no half measures with
prvateers. The instant execution of the first
crew of privateers taken will do more to check
this atrocious system than the destruction OF
ten times the number later. If the first crew
escapes through any mistaken ciemency, it
will be accepted by the whole South as proof
that the Government is afraid. Too much
mercy has already been shown to traitors.
Judge Robinson ought to have paid with his
life for his audaciOus tempt to seduce over
General Scott. The impunity with which this
sort of thing is permitted passes with the reb-
els for imbecility, and the conclusion is very
natural.

WHAT THE MEEK HEART DID.

Look out, oh weary heart, look out
In the wide world and see
Ifthere thou find st a laurel wreath,
Ora great work for thee.
Then the weak heart looked sadly out,
On scenes of change and strife,
And saw no fame wreath for its brow,
No great work for its life
So. little deeds that thronged its path
That heart took neekly up;
Its need of suffering humbly drank,
And drained the bitter cup.
The quiet life was truly lived,
To have done more it would;
But there is written this of such
.'She hath done what she could"
