that another, numbering nine hundred men, has

taw Nation, this outpourng ofits braves n defences
OF cause no dearer to them than To Ia should
rouse every county in every State Of the Corifed-
eracy to generous emulation. With a pouuIa
ton, including the cognate tribe of Chickasaws of
only twenty thousand exclusive of $500 slaves,
they have raised three regiments, numbering about
three thousand soldiers, for the common cause |!
What other community of equal size has done so
tnobly2 These sons of the Western forest have. at
one step, taken the preeminenee in the sacrifices
which patriotism Imposes and inspires. Let them
have the honor which is their due. Aye let them

The Choctaws and Chickasaws claim to have M
less than five thousand fighting men. This il a
very Large ratio compared with the population !:
but they say they have no snperanuates. Men OF

This is an article for which, strange as it NAV
appear we have heretofore been chiefly depend
ent on supplies from abroad, while the material
for manufacturing it is right at cur doors. 1t is
made from resinous wood, such as the twigs ebips
etc., of the pine, and could be produced in much
greater abundance from rosin itself, which the
blockade has made almost a drug. II that even
in present circumstances, should heconsidered too
valuable an article to be employed for this pur-
pose, the refuse, which goes to waste about tur-
pentine works, might be saved by manufacturing
lampblaek from it.
The process of making lampblack is simple and
requires but little apparatus. It consists essen
TALLY in burning resnous substances with the. ad
mission of the least possible qusntity of air. and
conducting the products Of the combustion through
q moderately long f1ue into a chamber where they
are condensed, or rather where the sooty portion
is eollec ted the gases being permitted to escape.
The method pursued in Germany is to pass the
smoke through fue about Is feet long into a
chamber containing from 1000 to 5000 cubic feet.
or say l3 feet square, and of the same height.
The roof is made of woolen cloth of thin texture
to permit the escape of the gases, thus furnishing
draught, and the chamber is also hung with iron
sheets. The lampblack Is condensed upon these
and upon the walls and roof, and is scraped off
when the cloth becomes SO elogged as to impede
the draught. The liner quality Of lampbaek is
collected in the chamber, the coarser in the fues
Another method is to receive the smoke in a series
Of bags arranged vertically and side by side The
coarser substance is thus deposited in the bags
nearest to, and the finest in those farthest from,
the furnace-thas saving the trouble of sorting it,
K Lampblack freshly prepared is liable to spon-
'taneons combustion, and is purified by ignting it
inclose vessels, by which process all the Inpuri-
ties and small portion of the lampblack are COR
sumed. eYY --,.f .a.e,.s5. s-75s I,.z 10y

SKIRMlsHEs ALONG THE PoroMAc.--From the
Washington correspondence of the New York
Times we take the following :.,-,.,
Ever since the great review, Beauregard has
been pushing up detachments towards various
points on the line of Gen. McClellans army, and
number of reconnoissances and foraging expe-
ditions have also been made upon our side. The
result has been these skirmishes, which have been
the consequence of the collision of these advanced
parties, no decisive advantage being gained by
them on either side. Beauregard knew already
the exact locality of each division of our army !;
and Mcclellan has learned that the Confederates
have moved up closer to him on several points.
All of these skrmshes have resulted disastrously
to US, 50 far as loss of men is concerned.
great many have been Killed, wounded and
taken prisoners but it is impossible to tell how
many. In one of the earliest of these skrmishes |
was assured that we had not lost any in killed,
had only had two wounded and three taken pris-
oners. Two days afterwards | ascert8ined that
four men had been killed and fourteen badly
wounded. | kept memorandum of the occur
renee, and few days ago I succeeded in getting a
late Richmond paper, in which were the names,
residence and regiment of thirty-two prisoners
taken by the Confederates in that same skirmsh.
So much for the accuracy OF the information which
is sometimes furnished to newspaper correspond
ents here on the spot.

REACTION IN EAST TENSEssEE.-From the Knox
vile Register of the goth, we learn that the
Union men of East Tennessee, under the influence
of Liucolns late manifestations, are coming over
in crowds to the Southern cause. They give proof
of their sincerity by the voluntary manner In which
they come forward and especially by the fact that
they bring their guns and give them up to the Con-
federate service. The subjoined letter from one
of them shows that many of these people may
have been acting from sincere conviction, and the
whole affair is another proof that moderation and
not blood thrstness should rule in dealing with
the frailties of our felow-men: " -..

A SECOND "BULL-RUS. THE Alexandria cor
respondent of the Baltimore News Sheet writes
We were somewhat startled this morning at
witnessing second Bull-Run in miniature. Some
five regiments passed through our town yesterday
evening en- route for Springfield Station, where
they intended locating their camp. This morning
way back-others that they returned in the same
cars that took them out. At any rate, they came
back minus ythng-tents, provisions, arms,
etc. Some in answer to questions, say that
they had unloaded the cars stacked their arms,
and were about pitching their tents, when the
Confederates, with yell, charged them, and they
broke and run to town without firing a gun.
Springfield is about nine miles from here. 1t is
rumored, with how much truth cannot say, that
FIVE other regiments were cut off yesterday and
made prisoners. You may certainly look for
stirring news from this place before long as it has
become absolutely necessary to the preservation
of the army here that the Potomac should be
opened, and have no doubt the effort will be
made soon as the weather will permit the trans
portation of cannon,

A Northern paper makes the following state
ment about political affairs in Oregon: .5

The tories of Oregon are rampant, and are mall.
ing all sorts of trouble for the Uuion men. Gov.
Whitaker is an avowed sympathzer with the re-
belliou and, has named such officers for, the re-
cruits he proposes to raise that no loyal men will
submit to serve under them. Old Joe Lane lives
at Winchester, and takes. much interest in these
things but he is said to be anxious to sell out and
quit the State for some more c0ngena climate. 1t
would pay the Union men to raise fund and buy
him ont, if he will leave. Ben. Stark appointed
to Bakers seat in the United States Senate, is no
better than the gang, although Connecticut man
and former resident of New London. He Is one
of the 'blue lights order of tories.

The large force Of workmen at the Petersburg

1t was the opinion of the hands, that as the south
is now fighting to be independent of the North, 1t
is due to Southern citizens that Northern man
should not be placed in high position over US.
Matters took such a serious turn at the foundry,
that it became necessary for Mr.. Myers to resign

little delay, everything resumed its wonted sereni
