RUBY VALLEY, 420 miles East of Sacra-
mento City.-Pony arrived at IL A. NJ.
CAIRO, Sept. 26th.-Capt. Stewart, with IS
cavalry, to-day encountered 40 rebel cavalry
at Lucas Bend, whom they pursued into JEFF.
Thompson's camp at Belmont. Four rebels
were killed, FIVE captured, and many wound
ed. None of the Federals were injured.
JEFFERSON CRY, Sept. 26.-A special to
the Missouri Democrat says Gen. Sigel ar
rived early this morning, and has gone for
ward by the way of railroad with his force.
The information now is that Mccullough
has formed junction with Price between
Warrensburg and Georgetown, and their
forces are now 40, 900 men. The rebels have
not got the money from the Lexington banks
as reported. 1t was safely secured before
the fight. The whereabouts of Mccullough
still excites much attention.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26th.-The advance
movement yesterday is regarded by the high
est military authorities here as one of con-
siderable Importance. Our army is supplied
with excellent forage. The 10Th New York
regiment went into Lewinsville and occupied
a position within $50 feet of where rebel bat
teries were. The Highlanders behaved with
great gallantry. Grifin's battery was work
ed with great effect, and it is believed to have
carried great disaster into the enemy's camp
The fast was observed with great propriety
here to-day.
A New Yorker who deserted from the reb-
els at Free Stone Point, says the enemy is
10000 strong at Free Stone, and 5000 be-
tween there and Manassas, and large num-
ber along shore to Matthias. They have
plenty of cannon and food. Yesterday a
Lieutenant of one of our regiments deserted
and went to the rebels, giving them, it is
supposed full information.
The President has given assurances that
no drafting for the army shall be resorted to
in the West until the Eastern States have
furnished their full quota of the 500, ,OOO
men. A special from Washington says the
rebels have appeared to-day on the Potomac
opposite the Great Falls, and opened with
battery of six pieces on McClellan's Division
Both sides have been reinforced. Our bat

teries opened and the rebels dispersed. The
Federels took possession of Lewiston this A.
NJ. The rebels retreating after slight
skirmish.
FARTHER PoINr, Oct. lst.-The Great Eas-
tern has arrived. A gale which she encoun-
the passengers sustained fractures by ire
mendous rolling of the ship. The accident
is mainly attributed to building the rudder.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The Herald's dis.
patch says, upon charges made by Colonel
Blair, Gen. Fremont has been ordered to re-
port himself for trial by court martial.
Gen. Wool, of Fortress Monroe, has been
ordered to supersede Fremont in the Depart
ment of the West Gen. Mansfield left for
Fortress Monroe this evening to supersede
Gen. Wool. Capt. Drake De Kay accompa-
nies Gen. Mansfield, and will continue an
Aide.
Gen. Fremont will proceed to this city at
his earliestconvenience, leaving his forces in
command of another who is considered COM
petent to meet any foe that Gen. Fremont has
been marching against
Affairs at the Navy Yard and down the
Potomac to-day are quiet.
The Tribune's dispatch says the number of
volunteers now entering the service from the
loyal States is about SO, 900 per week.
WASHINGTON, 3d.-Rumors being preva
lent involving military charges, it is ascer-
tained, on inquiry at the War Department,
that no order has been issued to Gen. Ere
mont to report for trial by court martial. 1t
is true that Gen. Mansfield has been ordered
to command at Fortress Monroe, but General
Wool, whom he superscdes, has been assign
ed to no other duties.
New YORK, Oct. Sit is stated that the
rebels intend an immediate advance upon
Paducah.

McCLELLAN's REPUTATION IN ENGLAND
The London Globe, in speaking of military
operations in the United States, says:
In all the combats that have occurred, the
best General has been triumphant. Lyon,
Sigel and Mcclellan, with troops Of the same
stuff as those engaged at Manassas, have de.
feated their opponents. Mcdowell was in
ferior to Beauregard, and failed before him.
The new leader, Mcclellan, is of a different
stamp. He has shown his mettle. Every
order he issues, every measure he adopts,
proves that he is real soldier.

MORE WoxEN THAN MEN IN GREAT Brit
AIN.-From the recent returns of the British
census we learn that the increase of women
in that country during the past ten years is
l.I56. .4S9 while the increase of men In that
time is 977 7,627. Thus the female increase
is l78. .S6I in excess of the male increase. By
the census of 1851. the proportion of males
to females in Great Britain was 100 to los.
The proportion now is 81 to lis. The wars
in Russia and India are supposed to be the
main cause of this inequality.

YANKEES FILLING TIE OFFICES AT RIcH-
soSp.-The mode by which such a number Of
Yankees have screwed themselves into the
departments Of the Confederate Government
Is not little curious. It is an instance of
patented combustion, double acting toad yism,
quite worthy Of the Yankee invention
We are fully advised of it, A discarded
Yankee from Washington, trained In the sub
servient arts and dirty lodges Of Office seeking
there, and, perhaps, representing himself as .
southernsr to the manor born, when the old
editions Of the "Blue Book" show him to have
been an unmitigsted Yankee, and applies for
Ofics in some department Of the Confederate
Government. The toadyism commences; the
dirty dodge Of nativity succeeds; the cheap
accommodation Of Southern letters" predis-
pose the COED -natured Secretary to favor; and
few well-put adulations secure, from the
vanity they solicit, prominent ofice for the
ingenious tesdy.-RseAppond Ezomaasr.

How SOUTHERN WAR CoRRssPoSDENcE Is
MADE UP.-The Cleveland Leader states on the
authority Of one Of the members Of the Clsvs-
land ARTILLERY, lately returned from the army
in Western Virginia, that among the letters
found In the rebel camp, be saw one written to
the Richmond Enquirer, evidently by the cor
respondent Of that paper. The raey writer
went on TO give detailed account Of the doings
Of the Confederate forces in that locality, and
their successes. ''The Yankee abolitionists, {"
he remarked, "sre within q mile and half
Of rs, and fight Is hourly looked for" He
also gave the details Of the skirmishing during
the last two or three days, in which the vera
ate loss had been two, while 100 Yankees have
bit the dust, and it was not probable that they
could stand it much longer" At the bottom
OF the letter, however, was private note to
the editor, In which he rather thought the
Yankees had got the best Of them so far"

AFFAIRS IN RICHMOND A letter from Rich
mond, dated July IS, to the Memphis Argus ),
says:
A feeling Of morbid sympathy has begun to
spring up In some quarter here in behalf Of the
cutthroat scoundrels who were captured at Man
assas. Ely, the Abolition uiemb Der Of New York,
has already several sympathizing friends, who
think and try TO make others think, that he went
over to Manassas Just to the battle without in
tending to take any part therein. They do not
know Of whom or what they are talking. This

A STRAEss SrATsHsST "A letter from Louis
Vile says that James Hewett, Esq Of the firm Of
Hewett, Norton Co Of Liverpool, New York
and New Orleans, has lately arrived from Rich
mond, and 10 authority for the following strange
city:
Since the battle Of Manassas the utmost demon.
aliIation and disorganiEation among the army
and financial distress among the people have
existed. The city was filled with men and women
from the more distant States hunting informa-
ton OF relatives-information which, owing to
the secrecy maintained by the Government, they
could not obtain No report Of the killed and
wounded, have been made up, nor was Il likely
that arv ever would he. The greatest distress
pr vailed: and complaints were loud, deep and
earnest. Soldiers were demanding their release
and their paw, refusing TO fight again, and ex-
pressing their determl nation to return home
There was no money In the city except current
notes OF the State banks cOin especially British,
being particularly scarce article.
To these murmurings Of the mob Of Richmond
CITY there were added other IauFmuu, not 50 loud
nor so insolent, but murmu:s distinctly uttered
and distinctly heard that were coming up from
every part OF the Confederacy, complaining Of the
existing state Of sffairs. These complaints and
the financial troubles OF the Government were
had on hand. Mr.. Hrwet teIegraphed to Richard
Atkinson Of this city, his agent, to write bv the
drst steamer TO the house In Liverpool TO sell all
the cotton on band At existing rates soon al

Grape Wine,


Wine may be made from the Isabella grape
on q small scale. by picking the fruit in clear,
dry weather, when perfectly ripe, and after
picking out all the immature and unsound
berries, put them in a tight box or tub and
mash them with pestle or FOUNDER, having
the lower end square. Reduce the fruit In
this manner to fne mass, but do not break
the seeds while pounding. The next process
is the extraction Of the juice, which may be
done by placing the mass In q coarse bag sack,
and submit it to pressure. If q cheese or
portable cider-press is at hand, make use Of
1t; otherwise, place the bag between planks,
and lay stones on them. When the juice
ceases to run, remove the pomace to q tub,
and after breaking the cheese fine, sprinkle
on quantity of clear, soft water, to dissolve
and draw out the remaining juice. When all
the juice is expressed-whish Is usually from
IL to l6 quarts per bushel Of grapes--to each
quart of the juice add half pound of white
granulated sugar, stirring and shaking it until
the sugar is completely dissolved. Put the
liquor into cask, (clean of course,) which
should be full, in order that the impurities
may flow over by fermentation at the bung
Some Of the liquor should be reserved in
pitcher or bottle, to fill up as often as it sinks
below the buDg. After it ferments eight or
ten days, put in the bung tight, and let 1t rest
in a cool, dry cellar; there to remain until
March, when it should be racked off into q
clean cask, we'll sweetened with birthstone
match burned within. As 1t undergoes several
changes the first year, it is we'll to let IL re-
main in that state until late in the fall, when
it should bs again racked off into oask, and
If 1t is not fue and bright, 1t wouli be well to
hue 1t with sweet milk, or with the whites OF
eggs beat up with sand. In the course Of a
few weeks, if everything works favorably, it
will be fine and bright, and fit for use.

SIAHBsE IN rHB BIOLOGICAL GARpEys-A
good joke is told here on one of the Siamese
ambassadors. A number Of the embassy were
walking together few days ago, in the Zoo
logical G arden, when one Of them strayed away
from his companions, and was accidentally '
mistaken by keeper for some animal that
had escaped. Away went the keeper full tilt
after our poor SIamese. who, beholaing this
strange onset, took to his heels and ran for
dear life; with such speed, too, that the keeper
was entirely relieved of any misgivings he
might previously have had. He was, if posi-
BILE, still further convinced of his suspicion
when he saw the unfortunate Oriental leap like
wildcat into the branches of a plane tree and
chamber to the top. There the two remained
for moment, the Siamese above and the
keeper below, staring at each other. There
they might have continued all day, too, had
not the crowd Of saunterers, attracted by the
noise OF the race, gathered around and pointed
out the ludicrous absurdity Of the mistake
The keeper, who was at first obstinate, was at
length convinced, and very patiently besought
the noble stranger to descend. Not bit of it !,
This worshipper Of the white elephant, with a
very expressive gesture, merely got up little
higher on the topmost branch, which he sue
cseded in straddling and there held on until
an Interpreter arrived. After an explanation
his highness concluded to descend. He left
the garden still trembling, and by no m cans
relieved Of bis dread Of his pursuer.-Paris
