YET ANOTHER CANARD.-The Baltimore papers
OF this morning contain correspondence from
Annapolis, stating that &C. On Saturday the
employees attached to the Naval School at An
naPolis, We're busily employed in removing all
the feld-pieces from the Armory there and plac-
ing them on board the U 8. practice ship Con-
sntuton, from whence they We're to be shi pped on
board the U 8. steam tender Anacostia for WASH
iDgton; and that the Anacostia was In the Potomac
river on her way to Annapolis with new arma-
ment for the Constitution" There is not one
word Of truth in the statement. In the first place
the Constitution requires no new armament, and
II she did there Ia not gun in our Navy Yard Of
the ca.ibre used on board the Constitution. In
the second place the Anacostia has been laying at
the Navy Yard here ever since last w ednesday,

WobL.-We quote the following from
Walter Browns Monthly Wool Circular. da-
ted June LIST, giving the price current in
New York city:
The Wool market has been more active
in low and medium domestic feeces than du-
ring the preceding month, and in descrip-
tons especially suited TO the manufacture of
military clothing, some advance has been re-
allied. The new clip will, however, soon be-
gin TO come in, and with a good supply of
these grades, We cannot expect to realize
quite present prices. Fine feeces continue
dull of sale, and with full stock in market.
could be sold low for cash. Most of the mills
which have heretofore consumed these woods.
have, either stopped operations entirely. or
changed on TO army goods, and we cannot
look for the revival OF the demand for such
stock for several months. We would, there
fore, advise parties having very fine wool on
hand, not to sacrifice 1t, but to wait till it is
wanted for actual consumption. On the 9th
er hand. We would recommend all who NAV
have wool OF medium and low qualities. to
send 1t forward as early as possible. that il
may have the benefit of the demand growing
out of the present wants of the Government
As to prices which ought to be paid for
wool, and which growers ought to expect. we
think that such portion ofthe wool as is sold
in the West at clipping time, will range in
price from p to 80 cents for the usual quail
tiles in good condition-most of the better
lots probably selling for about 80 cents, and
very choice clips going as high as 35c. The
last are not at present desirable, and we pre-
sumo a4arge portion of the best clips will be
wisely held by growers for an improved de-
mand.
Our annexed quotations are probably from
to cents per ID. above what could be re-
allied for new wool, on a full market. Lots
arriving early may bring nearly or quite our
quotations,

FROM NEWPORT NEWS.

We make the following extract from pri-
vate letter received from member OF the
Allen Grays, of Brandon, now at Newport
News.
NEWPORT News, June End.
We have been employed all the morning
with the shovel and pick, strengthening our
defenses The afternoon is given us to rest
and do our washing queer day for wash
ing. but it is the only time we have had to
do il since we came here. We have been
hard at work throwing up breast-work,
which is now nearly completed. We are now
strongly fortified, and PLEASANTLY situated o., on
the north east side of James liver Inc
weather is very warm, and would be IntOiSr-
able fit were not for the sea breeze which
blows almost constantly. A Massachusetts
Regiment occupies our left, and German
Regiment our right, making in all about
twenty-five hundred men now on the ground.
Many anticipate an attack soon, but do not
think we shall have hard work to whip double
our number, for it is said that our defenses
are not to be easily broken down. The Har-
riet Lane is lying out in the river with several
guns,-and we have five field cannon with
us, 50 We are prepared for any emergency.
The following extracts are from a letter
written by a member Of the Rutland Light
Guard, dated Newport News, June End
" We have got our breastworks finished,
and are ready for fight and with our men
we can whip ten thousand of the enemy.
I'VE are encamped in wheatield-have
plenty OF new potatoes, large enough to bake.
Strawberries are also plenty, at cents
quart also, green peas, cucumbers, and most
kinds Of vegetables. There are about one
hundred negro slaves now in our camp
Seven pieces Of cannon are to-day being
planted on the sea-shore so, think, We are
now safe enough from approach Of rebels,
either by sea or land. We have had no fight

which would convince him that he can return
only at the imminent risk of his life Instruc-
tons have certainly been given by Gen PILLOW
that he shall be hung or shot or otherwise killed

How TO DEAL WITH ESGLAND.-The
Philadelphia Press very pertinently says that
should there be any proof that England, or
rather her government, (for the English peo-
pie are with us,) wishes to side with the
Southern rebels and traitors, the North
would have to adopt and carry out a non
consumption ordinance-to decide, in short,
on dispensing with every article of British
produce, raw or manufactured. We can do
without such articles. We can live we'll
even luxuriantIy, if needed, on American
produce alone, and if England acts unfairly
towards the North, we certainly must exer-
else this selfreliance, and cease all importa-
tons from England. If anything would open
the eyes of "Her Majestys Minister'S it
would be that"
