SIGNS OF THE TIMES.


No Desire to Serve the Government
mere are already about 800 Fire Zouaves in the
city, and the balance Of the regiment is expected
to return In day o. two. They enlisted for three
years OF the war, but so dsorganized have they
become since the battle of Bull Run that the rem
nant oi the regiment will be sent home for reor-
ganlZaticn, or perhaps for disbandment The men
nave Iot received their pay, and complain that
their treatment, in comparison with that received
6oy other egments has been SO shabby, that they
nave no desire to further serve the Government
". y. Dan Book
The same paper adds:
The members of the list were only partially
paid off on Saturday, and instead of receiving SAC
apiece Tor their services, as they expected, they
are only allowed S23 II for, two months service
and and twelve cents day for rations for ten days
they remained over the specified time. The mem
bers cannot understand bv what horitv the pay
masters allow them only y cents day for ratiors
when the Army Regulations specify that they sha
be allowed SO cents per day; why they should
not be allowed one quarters clothing to which,
by the Army Regulations, they consider themselves
entitled.
The case of the Sixty-ninth is verv similar, only
little harder. Many of their number are from
other States and have not the means to proceed to
their homes, while others are out of employment
aud in many instances without means of support
and consider it very hard case to be kept so long
without receiving the few dollars which they have
so hardly earned

who, though they have been back for months, have
never yet received dollar for their services.

The Great Bethel Affair--The Statement OF
General Pierce.

B0sToN, August 5.-Brigadier General Pierce
publishes statement in regard to the Great Bethel
fight in which be asserts that he advanced under
explicit orders, but that the plan Of attack and
ders accompanying it betrayed want of knowl-
edge of the enemy's position and numbers; that his
command was composed of raw recruits, with only
twenty rounds of ammunition, his small artillery
force having but twelve rounds, hardly sufficient
for five minutes fire; that the cause of the firing
into friendly regiments owing to the neglect of
General Butler to notify the detachment which
joined him from Newport. News to wear or recog-
nize the white badge worn on the arm.
GeneI al Pierce, in conclusion, that after the
battle had taken place, and public opinion had
fastened on me the opprobrium of the defeat, ap-
piled for court of inquiry, that the facts might
be set Alright, ard the blame, il there any, rest
on the proper officer. In answer to my applica.
tion, nay, my demand, l received but one reply,
that court of inquiry would reveal far too much
that would injure the service.

USEFUL INVENTION MIR. Rimmel. the great En-
gsh perfumer, has invented a perfume-evaporizer,
intended to be used as sanitary agent, as well as
for the diffusion Of merely pleasant odors through
apartments, hospitals, halls and theatres !t con-
sists of vessel heated by small lamp below it,
and acts by the vaporization of steam impregnated
with the odors of flowers, aromatic vinegar and
other acids and sanitary agencies, such chlorine
and ammonia. Some perfumes are said to act as
the air, converting it into true vital air; the oil
of cloves, though heavy as perfume, has very
singular property of destroying musty mould, as in
paste or gum, for example, keeping it fresh and
sweet for months. Such an agency diffused by
the new evaporizer in close and musty apartments
could not but sweeten them. .s1
