although the original intention was to de-
stroy and abandon the works, but now it
will be made a rendezvous for army and

EnEIish Arttsts in Rome.
The New York Eveaing Post says:

The New York Eve'ing Postsays:
A letter from Rome states that the English
artists in that city are preparing for the ex-
hibition of 1862. Mr.. Gibson is at work at a
statue of Diana, and also on statue of Pam
dora, in which he has freely INDUCED his
prediction for color. The flesh represents
ivory, the hair gold, with a wreath of white
flowers encircliDg the head, and the eyes are
colored delicate blue. Her under dress is
not colored, excepting narrow blue border,
which contrasts we'll with the purity of the
marble, and the box which she holds is re
lieved with gold and color. Mr.. Cardwell
has also figure of Diana reposing after the
fatigues of the chase. Mr.. Galley is engaged
on two colossal relieves, sixteen feet by eight
feet, which will form the two panels of q
tomb to be erected in Edinburg. The sub
jects are the overthrow of Pharaoh aud his
hoast in the Red Sea, and the song of Mir
riam and Moses. Mr. Adams is working at
a very pleasant subject taken directly from
nature-a youth playing at "castaletti," o
game much in favor with the Roman boys.
The English painters have been all hard at
work.
MIR. Penny Williams, although his sight
was for some time in jeopardy, has been able
to resume his brush; and the pictures he has
painted during the last Winter show no fall
ing off in his old dexterity and brilliant
cOloring. His Peasants Winnowing Corn
on the Mountains of Sorrasenesco, in the val-
ley OF the Anio, is full of picturesque beauty,
and is most agreeable transcript of every
day Italian life. He has also picture Of
Lake Albano, afternoon effect which may
probably grace the Exhibition Of 1862. NJ.
Dessoulsvy is also working bard in his own
peculiar department portraying little domes-
tic incidents. Mr.. Strut has just finished q
fine picture of the Appian Way. Mr. Strut
has also received a commission to paint q
picture for the exhibition, which is to be ten
feet long, and is to be a truthful representa-
ton of the desalate Oampagna, with the
mountains that bound it, and in the fore.
ground is to be shown the Roman method o
winnowing corn, which is effected by horses
being driven through the heaps at full gal.

Tho Earliest Oopy Of the Scriptures.
The London Literary Gazette, Of August

The London Literary Gazette, of August
10, says:
During the ensuing month work of rare
interest to the Biblical scholar will be pub
lisbed. 1t is a fac Simils of the earliest copy
Of the Scriptures ever yet discovered. The
manuscript contains portion of the Gospel
of st. Matthew, and was written by Nocho
laus, the seventh deacon, at the dlctation Of
the Apostle Matthew, fifteen years after the
Ascension. The manuscript together with
many others, was discovered by the Rev. Mr..
Stobart in a sarcophagus, at Thebes, and
was brought by him to England. On his ar
rival in this country he sold a portion of his
collection to the British Museum, and con-
siderable number of the remainder he dis
posed Of to Mr.. Meyer the celebrated arch@-
ologist of Liverpool. Those in the British
Museum remain unrolled and unread to the
present day, but Mr.. Meyer, having obtained
the assistance of DR.. K. Simonides, pro-
ceeded to unroll the various papyri, and,
among Others of great interest, was discov-
cred one in fragments, containing portions Of
the Gospel of st. Matthew, and bearing the in
scTiption: "The writing by the hand Nicho-
laus the Deacon, at the dictation of Matthew,
the Apostle of Jesus Christ it was done in
the fifteenth year after the Ascension of our
Lord, and was distributed to the believing
ews and Greeks in Palestine"
The papyrus is much damaged, and the
fragments preserved are not very numerous,
but they supply two lost verses, furnish a
much puIer text than any other known yer.
sion, and clear up many passages that have
hitherto been doubtful and obscure. The
manuscript is written in the Greek uncial
character, and in all probability was the
| identical manuscript that was copied seven
| times by Hermodorus, during the life of the
| apostle, and likewise seven times after his
death. The copy from which the Englisf
version of the Gospel is chiefly derived is thu
eleventh copy made by Hermodorus, pre-
served in one of the monasteries of the East
and in this several errors have been made il
the transcription. The publication of this
work is one of the greatest interest to the
Christian world, and will probably excite
more attention than any similar discovery
| during the present century. Messrs. TribneI
have undertaken the publication OF the work
and a very large circulation is anticipated fo
it both in Europe and America.

DIsafIectIon AmonE Troops
The Albany Evening Journal says;

Inc Albany evening journal says
The recent instances Of insubordination
among several OF our regiments in the vi
cinity of Washington have awakened alarm
and distrust in many patriotic hearts. 1t
may serve to quiet forebodings and reassure
the public mind to know that thisexperence
is not peculiar to our own ranks, but is
common incident in nearly all great military
operations. Well disciplined veteran SOL
diers, whose subsequent career has been
marked by bravery and success, have ex-
hibited a like unhappy tendency to mutiny.
We cite a single examples
In the year 1912, at the request of the Duke
Of Wellington, F. S. Larpent, Esq, a mem
Der of the English Bar, was sent to Spain to
in that country. While serving in that
capacity he kept q journal of passing incl
dents, and wrote letters home describing his
daily experiences. These-the journal and
letters--were subsequently published in
three voiumes-reprinted in 1853.
As his first audience the Duke placed in
his hands fifty cases against oficers-re-
marking: "a pretty army have herel They
all want TO go home; but no more shall go
except the sick.n Early in this journal we
find it stated: "The breakings, hackings aud
floggiDgs for the recovery of discipline have
been very painfully frequent" A short time
afterward Lord Wellington complained of
the difficulty of obtaining convictions "How
can you" he asked, 'expect court to find
an officer guilty of neglect of duty when
every member Of his command is guilty Of
the same offense?" "Yet, in the very month
in which this remark was made,n says Mr..
Larpent, tive have hanged six, broke several
officers, and fogged sixteen or eighteen men,
and we are still at work" At the end Of an
other fortnight he speaks of having changed
eight, transported eight or ten, hogged sixty
severely, and broke several officers
All this, and much more of like character
is told of an army which met and con.
quered the veteran troops of France, led by
the bravest and most skillful Marshals of the
Empire
Doubtless the history of every large army
would show similar occurrences. While,
then, the recent outbreaks among the soldiers
are to be deplored, they do not afford
| grounds for serious apprehensions of disaster
to our cause; especially when we know that
our antagonists must encounter still greater
endorsements of the like character, since
their soldiers are less carefully provided for
and are burdened with much greater cause
for disaffection and discomfort.

DR.. ]. D. Hooker writes to the London
Times as follows:
India, it is believed, will eventually be-
come the greatest tea-producing country in
the world. Central Asia, from Thibet to
Siberia inclusive, is the largest tea. consum-
ing area in the world, but it does not produce
leaf of tea. Sixty miles only intervene be-
tween Thibet and the British tea plantations
in Sikkim, but all the tea consumed in
Thibet comesfrom China, one thousand miles
to the eastward, and over numerous chains
of lofty mountains. The Russians are as
great tea consumers as the Asiatics, and they
are rapidly pushing their outposts South ward
and Eastward, toward the Himaylaya; but
neither does Russia contain in all her vast
domiRions one acre of tea-producing land.
The Thibetans are, further, most eager to
procure broadcloth, cutlery, aud a great
variety of English wares and Bengal pro
duce; for which they barter shawl wool, salt,
borax, musk, -four, gold dust, amber, tur-
quoises, copper, sheep and ponies of breed
which is invaluable both in the plains and
hills Of India.
With regard to the alleged difficulties Of
the passes, it is enough to state that every Bit
of wood used in house building in Thibet
goes across the Himalaya, and that in one
day have counted several hundreds OF
yaks, mules, ponies, sheep, goats, dogs, men,
women and children crossing pass upward
of eighteen thousand three hundred feet
high; every biped and qusdruped loaded
according to its powers, with planks of wood
rice, millet, Indian corn, sugar, tobacco
spices, bsmboos, rattans, cotton and silk
stuffs, and numberless other products of the
Himalaya Valleys, to be bartered for brick
tea, Chinese crockery, and the articles havt
enumerated above. Again, no circumstance
that came under my observation in India 81
surprised me as the fact that upward of ouu
thousand miles of British frontier wert
closed to British trade and enterprise;
frontier, too, that divided countries NOR,
diverse as to their physical characters, thei
natural products, and consequently as Il
their several wants, than any other two OF
the face of the globe. have never ceased
to urge, when opportunity offered, both il
India and England, the importance of open
ing up this frontier by a route throug
Sikkim, believing as do that the trade i
tea between India and Thibet will eventI
ally do more to benefit the latter countr
than, perhaps, any other whatever.

Especial Correspondence OF the Memphis Appeal
From Richmond.


RICHMOND, VA, August 20, 1s6l.-The
movements of the "Army of the Potomac"
and of our forces generally, are kept more
secret than ever. Many gentlemen who have
come on here from your neighborhood, both
in Tennessee and Mississippi, for the purpose
of visiting their friends and relatives in
General Beauregard's army, and of furnish
ing them with supplies Of money and cloth
ing, have been refused passports to Manas-
sas; and as for any ones coming from the
camps beyond Manassas back to Richmond,
that is just now thing next to impossible
All this indicates, or seems to indicate, that
some momentous demonstration is about to
be made in the direction of Washington
City, or at least in the direction of down.
trodden Maryland. At all events troops are
constantly moving up from this city and
Lynchburg to join the victorious banner OF
Beauregard, and it is estimated now that
the "Army of the Potomac can not number
less than one hundred and twenty thousand
effective men. This army is scattered from
a point four miles this side of Alexandra on
the right, and to Leesburg, fifteen miles
above Washington, on the left.
may be mistaken, but when "put this
and that together" l feel very much like
saying to you, look out for stirring events
in the neighborhood of Arlington Heights
and beyond-perhaps all over Maryland
during this and next week.
General Wool has superseded General But
Ter in command of the Yankee army at Fort.
ress Monroe. This change, it is said, be-
tokens active hostilities in that quarter, as
Wool comes down expressly to fight. TC
give the old gentleman as lively time a
possible, several bodies of fresh troops have
been recently sent down to Yorktown
among the rest famous fighting regiment
from New Orleans, under the command o.
Colonel Marigny, one thousand strong
went down yesterday.
There is undoubtedly much sickness
among our troops in the neighborhood o
Manassas, consequent upon exposure before
and after the battle. The rain of Monday
the 22d ult., and the subsequent cold nights
have disabled more of our men than the en-
emy's guns. Six thousand men are on thu
sick list; most of them in hospital.

A sEcrssroN1sr ARRESTED IN BosroN.--Th

a SECESSlOhIST ARRESTED IN bOSTON.--Ine
Boston Traveller of recent date says:
For some days a man has been floating
about in this vicinity who has relations in
Mendon, Mass, but who for some time pre-
viously was a resident in Arkansas. His
name is F. E. Williams, and as his Secession
talk had excited some suspicion in regard to
his business here, it was deemed expedient
by United States Marshal Keyes that he
should be taken into custody for examina-
ten. Accordingly Mr.. Keyes notified his
officers, and yesterday he was arrested. He
had been boarding at the American House,
where his trunk was found and examined.
1t had been rumored that he had been buy
ing swords and other warlike weapons for
the South, but nothing of the kind has been
discovered. The only suspicious articles
found in his possession were fifty dollar
Confederate bond and a passport from Gen
eral Pillow, passing him through the rebel
lines.
He last came from the Choctaw Agency,
and was partner of Major Hale. He brought
on his wife and had left her here, and when
arrested was about to leave for the South.
They have no evidence that he has purchased
any thing for the rebel army. He has shown
his bond to several persons, but they knew of
no attempt to dispose of it. They have tele-
graphed to Washington to know what they
should do with him.
He is man about thirty years old, and
has many friends in this city. He does not
pretend to hide his Secession sentiments.

LICE ON FowLs.--A correspondent of the
London Field says fowls may be kept free
from vermin as follows;
First of all, if in confinement, in the dust
corner of the poultry house mix about half
apound of black sulphur in the sand and
lime that they dust in. This will both keep
them free from parasites and give the feathers
a glossy appearance. If infested with the
insects, dampen the skin under the feathers
with little water, then sprinkle a little
black sulphur ON the skin. Let the bird oe
covered with insects, and they will dIissp-
pear in the course of twelve hours. Aso,
sliohtly snrinkled with the sulphur there is
no fear Of the hen being annoyed during in
cubstion, neither viii the chickens be trou-
bled bV them, Many fine hatched brood
pines away and dies through nothing else,
and no one knows the cause.

TIE ESEMY DESTITUTE OF FLANSEL.-ThS


charleston Courier says; W"
The stock of flannel having been pretty
well exhausted in Southern markets, we will
be doing the public and especially our brave
soldiers in service in pointing to cheap and
complete substitute, if not better article,
for the purposes to which flannel is usually
applied. A physician Of high reputation in
coarse Georgia osnabergs afford even greater
protection against exposure than flannel, and
are far preferable in rheumatic and othel
similar affections. Apart from this theory
we know several gentlemen who have beer
wearing them fer years, even in summer, In
preference to flannel, and they express aper'
| feet satisfaction with the result,
