Hatteras and its Inhabitants,

A correspondent of the New York Tribune
writes:
The island on which Hatteras is tho ter
mination, is a little more than a series Of
sand heaps, interspersed with clumps of
dwarted live oaks, with now and then marsh

there is no green thing to be seen. The pop

A New Kind of Dress Goods.

A pleasant Paris letter in the Courier
des Etots Uns tells this story:
A paper manufacturer has just invent
cd kind of impermeable paper suited for
dress goods. Its manner Of employment
is both simple and ingenious. It consists in
replacing by small frames the hoops upon
which are ballooned the petticoats of our
ladies'. These new-fangled engines are
covered with packing canvass, upon which
you have only to glue, as ona common screen,
the newly invented paper.
Thanks to this invention, when lady
wants new dress, her husband has no
longer to distress himself with the disburse-
ment of five or six hundred francs for twen-
ty yards of velvet. or thirty of more antique ].
all he will have to do will be to buy five or
six rolls of twelve sous paper and send for
the glue man. This is as simple AZ all
grand ideas. r, ,,, -
" The father abont to marry his daughter,
will not bc obliged long time beforehand to
bother himself about her trousaau-he will
limit himself TO asking his wife on the day
before the wedding: What paper shall We

An Exciting Battle Scene.

The correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
mercich gives the following picture Of Dutch
enthusiasm at the battle Of Carnifax Ferry,
where Floyd was whipped: as .7
TIE GERMAN BRIGADE "
Orders at last arrived from Gen. Rosocrans
for Col. McCook to advance his brigade. -
Then ensued a scene battling all description.
The Colonel dashed along his lines, inspiring
his men with his own enthusiasm, and the
hearty fellows shook the mountains with their
wild acclaim. The Dutchmen were seized
with war frenzy, and screamed the stormy
charge with which their ancestors were wont
to 60 into battle. McCook himself charged
up and down his columns, with his hat gone,
none knew whittier, his face blazing with the
light of battle, both arms gesticulating while
ne roared, f" Forward, my bully Dutchmen,
and we'll 60 over the d----d entertainments
if we die on the other side T. aa.
Now that the whole scene is before me in
calm moments, it seemed to me that pandc
monium had broken loose among the brave
Dutchnen, and that McCook was his satanic
majesty engaged in a righteous cause. 1t in
spired everybody, and every spectator flung
himself passionately up and down the lines,
cheering them onward, as the brigade went
doublequick down into the road and poured
their massive column into the field "What
point shall we 80 tor shouted McCook =
+" Ill lead you," said the quiet Hartsuff, and
the Germans who understood it, and apprc-

nobled by the spirit Of battle, grew hoarse
with repeated shouts. Sandershoff seemed
to grow taller as he stretched his soldierly
figure in his saddle and cast his eyes over
the compact form Of the magnificent Ninth
1t was Porschner's lot to bring up the rear
of the brigade, but he appealed patheticaly
to McCook to give him the front, and the

smiles as pleasant as il he was On his way to
