WASHINGTON, June u.

w AcdINOION, y uuG Il.
1t is learned that the rebels are entirely out
of leather, their movements are restricted for
want of shoes, and harness for the artillery,
&c. There are but few small tanneries in
the South, and if the Government will only
enforce its embargo by land and sea, the rebels
will be greatly embarrassed. They are also
short of material for making percussion caps,
although they have constructed machine for
making them at Richmond. They are also out
of chemicals for making detonating powder,
and therefore cannot employ shells for want Of
fuses. One of the shots fired at the Freeborn
from Aqua Creek was shell from a rifed
cannon similar to the james projectiles, but
the ball was not charged.
Official accounts received from Fort Monroe
report that there were fourteen men killed and
forty-fve wounded on our side in all at Bethel.
Two were killed in the fight before the batter
les. There were three batteries opened on our
troops from the right, left and centre of the
road to Yorktown. In all about 80 cannon
served, many of them being rifed. Lieut..
Butler, who was present during the conflict,
thinks that at least 200 rebels must have been
killed and wounded but four prisoners we're
taken by the Federal forces.

DEAD MEMS THOUGHTS. of the most
eminent Psychologists in Germany and France
have argued the very curious question as to
whether man feels after his head is cut off,
In support of this unpleasant theory facts are
adduced, with grave vouchers for their au-
thenticity Among others is the most unfor-
tunate Mary Queen of Scots, whose lips
continued to move in prayer for at least a
quarter of an hour, after the executioner had
performed his duty. Windt states that after
having put his mouth to the ear of departed
criminals head, and calling him by name, the
eyes turned to the side from whence the voice
came and this is attested by Fontonelle,
Mogore, Guilitine, Feucne, and Aldini. On

a man executed for that crime at Coblentz, the

reproach on those who stood around, d,-Wedicdl

New York CRY. = The London Times
speaks of New York City as follows
The city is certainly the most remarkable
result of wealth and enterprise which the world
has known. In an incredibly short space of
time it has risen from the rank Of tenth-rate
town to the third city in the world in popula-
ton and riches In the last ten years the
larger part has been entirely rebuilt marble
and freestone edifces of great size, beauty and
costliness, have been substituted for the old
brick houses Broadway has been extended
for miles a vast park of nearly eight hundred
acres is being laid out in what will be before
long, the centre of the city dwelling houses
have been built by thousands, far exceeding in
elegance and comfort the average dwellings of
Londoners and New Y York, with its suburbs,
now reckoning more than a million of inhabit-
ants, may look forward to being, the next gen
Grafton, not only the largest, but perhaps the
most beautiful city in the world All this has
been done by private enterprise, and if the
administration of the city had been in honest
hands the result would have been far more
extraordinary.

Toby's Experience with Breech-Load-
ing Rifle.

The Oxford (Mississippi) Intelligencer tells
the following story "Toby is a high private.
His company is armed with the breech- loading
Maynard rifle, warranted to shoot twelve
times minute, and to carry ball effectually
1,600 yards" Men who fought at Monterey
and Buena Vista call the new-fangled thing a
pop-gun." To test its efficacy, Toby's cap
tain told the men they must try their guns "
In obedience to command, Toby procured the
necessary munitions of war; and started with
his pop-gun" for the woods. Saw squir-
rel up very high tree-took aim fired. Ef-
fects of shot immediate and wonderful Tree

But Toby wouldn't shoot toward any more
trees-afraid of being arrested for cutting
down other peoples timber. Walked a mile
and quarter to get sight of hill By the
aid of a small telescope, saw bill in distance;
saw large rock on hill put in big load; shul

started toward hill. After travelling two
days and nights, reached place saw setting
sun shining through the hill. Knew right

closer-stumbled over rocky fragments scatter

CRAMP.-Those who may be subject to that
excruciating pain called cramp, will be glad
to learn that by tying any kind of bandage

PATRIOTS, NOT PARTIsANs.-The n. York
Express states that the New York Twelfth
Regiment have improved the present opportu-
nifty to demonstrate to their countrymen that
they are patriots, and not partisans. When
the President came to visit them, as they fled
past the Capitol, some one proposed =" three
cheers for President Lincoln" but the regi-
ment, to a man, were silent. Three cheers
were then proposed for the President of the
United States, and there was a simultaneous
and hearty response with a tiger y that
made the air resound. There is a lesson read
in this little incident, full of deep meaning
and the meaning is, that in this hour of the
nations peril men are nothing, party is nothing,
but the country everything.

The STARS AND STRIPES IN CAYADA.-A
good story is told of the Grand Trunk Railway
Canada. An engineer on one of the trains,
conducted by man named Latham, affixed
the Stars and Stripes to his eagne, which, be-
ing observed, was cut down by Latham. The
engineer at once replaced the flag, and forbid
Latham repeating the ofense or he would cut
HIM down. Upon the arrival of the train at
the headquarters of the superintendent Of the
road, the facts were reported to that official,
who at once presented the patriotic engineer
with a beautiful silk American dag, told him
to nail it to his engine, and then promptly dis
missed Latham. This action was approved by
the directors, and now every car on that road
carries the Stars and Stripes

CONTROLLING HER TEMPER.-The husband
of lady of fiery temper, says before marriage,
he was warned Of her fiery temper. To test
the accuracy Of the information, one evening,
as he sat next to her at dinner, he managed
cleverly to jog the servants elbow, as a plate
of mock-turte soup was offered her, which of
course was upset over the young ladys white
dress Of tule lace. No complaint, not even q
frown being eyinced, the delighted suitor con-
cluded that what be had heard was mistake,
and the marriage took place. But soon the la
dy's real character displayed itself-as is al
ways the case after marriage, but never before
and his wife, like human Stromboli, was
subject to fiery eruptions every ten minutes
upon an average.
How is it, my DEAR" said the happy hus-
band, " that having such bad temper, you
stood the ordeal by soup so well ?"
Why" said the lady, may have ap-
peared Indifferent at the time, but good hea-
vens you should only have gone into my room
a little while afterward, and seen the marks of
teeth on the bed-post ?"

THE GREATEST WATER FALL IN THE WORLD.
At meeting which took place shortly after
the recent launch of the steamer =" City of
New York at Glasgow, it was mentioned
that Mrs. Livingstone had two hours previous
ly received a package Of letters from her ad-
venturous husband, dispatched from the en-
bouchure of the Zambesi River. DR.. Living
stone and his party had returned to that point,
all well, after having accomplished an arduous
and successful exploration into the interior of
Africa in that latitude. The result of that
journey had exceeded his most sanguine expec-
tations, founded, as these were, on previous
geographical knowledge. The Victoria Falls,
as they had been termed, he had deduced to
be 100 feet in hight and about 5000 feet in
width. When he was enabled to survey the
actual scene, he ascertained that the hight was
30 feet and the breadth about $3.50 TThe
hight of Niagara, on the Canadian side is l49
feet and breadth 2,lO0 feet on the American
side the hight is lO2 feet and the breadth l.
OPS feet The Victoria Falls are, therefore,
about twice the hight and 2,455 feet broader
than the united cataracts Of the western world.
