The burning Of a rebel schooner IN Chnco
trIgue lnrt, 10y Acting Master furness and
two boats crews OF the steamer LOUISIANA was
very gallant and useful piece oil work Ac'
curuing 10 the official report of Commander
Murray, Of the steamel, 10 his superior, Com
GuidsOorOugh it appears that the boat eApeuh
ton sent to cut out the schooner He'll ihio
trap. When the boats, containing twenty
three men, had got within three hundred
yards OF the Scho Jner, they were alta ID from
the shore by a force Of three hundred rebels.
Instead Gi retreating under the peItlng lre OF
the enemy, the spirited lealer OF the expedr
tion, FurnUsS, gave the order To pull ahead,
and the boats were rushed through the fre,
until they got alongside, under cover ol
the schooner's side They found her to be
aground, and so they made a breastwork OF
her, and opened destructive fire upon the enc
my. This and few shot from the long gun
of the Louisiana, which had prudenlIy followed
her boats in as hlr as the depth OF water would
permit, Obliged the rebels to retire; whereupon
the schooner was burned All concerned in
this exploit deserve great praise for their cool
ness and bravery. Cutting olt vessels is the
most desperate and dangerous work the navy
has to do There is much more risk about 1t

beyond the depot building, upon which is
piled large amount OF freight which is receiv-

sentinels are constantly on guard here, but
these are not vigilant enough to prevent about
one third of the freight sent here from being
stolen. Many thin have been taken within
the last few days. Back OF the hotel building

with tents or wagons At the eastern end Of

COMING EVENTS.

There is good reason to believe that the po
sition of the armies on the Potomac will be
greatly changed very soon. 1t appears quite
certain now that the rebels will not attempt TO
cross INTO MARYLAND. They dare not make an
at,empt 10 do 50. All the signs show that
they have had such purpose, but that they
ceased to entertain it several weeks ago. II
will probably appear ere long thlt they have
OF late been stealthiy making preparations 10
retire towards Richmond, and that they have
no longer any thought either of crossing the
Potomac or OF fighting a great battle near
Washington. Gen. Mcclellan has several
times offered battle To tie forces under Beau
regard, but they invariably retire without ac-
cepting the challenge.
For some days our troops near Washington
have been advancing slowly aud successfully,
and they will continue 10 advance. They IN
tend that the rebels shall fight or retreat, and
if they presume TO stand and fight, they will
certainly retreat in great disorder soon after
wards. for Mcclellan has an army that will
compel them odo so, those Of them at least
who are not compelled to lay down their arms
and surrender We shall have no more
Bull Run affairs near Washington, nor any
where else ON the Potomac. Probably
we shall soon hear of an advance of
the federal army along the whole line
from Alexandria 10 Willamsport. We shall
not be surprised to bear, within few days,
that a large federal force has crossed the Poto-
mae at or near Williamsport above Harper'S
Ferry, aud started down tie river on the Vir
einia side If johnson will not come 10 them
we may hear Of them ON the move to find
johnson and when they find him, they will
he in force sufficiently strong to compel
him 10 retire swiftly in order to escape being
surrounded and cut of.
Those in the camps who ought to be well
informed, and whose study OF the indications
Of coming events is usually most careful ana
sagacous, feel sure that such a movement
along our whole line is about to take place,
and that twill certainly overwhelm all oppo-
Sition. There is not much expectation that
the fighting will consist of anything more
than few small skirmishes. Many officers
OF the army, who have watched the move
menls of the rebels very carefully, do
Lot believe they will make stand,
or accept any challenge TO great
battle anywhere this side Of Richmond. II
cur toopa should cross the Upper Potomac,
and johnson should undertake to make head
against them, movement Of Mcclellan to
ward Leesburg would be almost certain TO GU
him off. y few days will develope the policy
of our military leaders and show what thC
rebels are disposed to do. For some days W.
have had seven or eight hundred men acroS
Tie river at Harper's Ferry, and the latcs
report from that quarter is that they hav,
very galanlly fought and repeled a superio
rebel force. 1t is our belief that more vii
croys there ,.ad 49, si'--t Fvi"t bsfvrv tii'
week is out. These movements, and the
naval expedition that is about starting for the
south, Will presently give the telegraph some
thing TO talk about.

INTRODUCING ITALIAN QUEEN BEES
Most methods recommended IN this country
for introducing Italian queens, says CORES
p1ndeut OF the Bee Journal, are attended either
with considerable delay or great danger of
losing the queen In two instances this sea
son, have had queen stung in Introducing
her. One was killed instantly, the other, al
though partially paralyzed, recovered entirely
ON returning to her own colony, and appears
now to be as fertile as ever took away a
queen from a colony of half.breeds this SUM-
mer, and offering them an Italian queen they
refused to receive her. then placed her in a
cage and suspended her in the hive for four
days and nights, offering her to them every
day, and they still refused to receive her, but
went on making new queen cells as fast as
could destroy them. On the third evening,
took from the colony all the brood and eggs /
could find. The next morning, as they still
refused to receive her, / examined the hive
again, and found few eggs that had over
looked the evening before. l removed these,
and that evening they received her very quiet
ly. One OF the best ways l have found of in.
Producing tie queen is to make an artificial
swarm in the usual way, by removing the pa.
rent stock. The bees will usually receive her
in Two or three hours without any Difficulty.
