FROM THE ARMY OF THE PoroMAc. ga

FROM THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC. "Carl-
ton," the correspondent ofthe Boston Journal
writes from Bosler's Cross Roads, says:
am writing by the fireside of gentleman
who is not fully imbued with Southen feelings,
and after an hours conversation have obtain
ed information enabling me to give you the
status of the Southern army. 1t is south of
the Rappahannock, with the exception of
Jackson's corps, which is now making its way
up the valley. Longstreet passed through
Chester Gap last week. Walker and ID. III.
Hill went south from Piedmont to Cupepper
at the same time, via Bosler's cross roads.
Longstreet, he thinks, has about $4,000; Jack
son not quite so many. The entire army is
estimated at eighty or ninety thousand. This
is the Information, but all information here is
unreliable, and must be taken with liberal al
lowance.
The presence of few troops in Manassas
Gap to-day, or in front of Ashby's day before
yesterday, is no indication that Jackson intends
to remain in the valley, but they are behind
covering his retreat l saw the constant move
ments of the enemy toward the South while
looking down from Ashby's on Tuesday and
to-day. If | could get glimpse from Man
assas Ridge | should doubtless see Jackson's
train in motion. II we get to Culpepper first
we can close Thornton Gap against him, force
Longstrcet, who doubtless is there back TO
Gordonsvlle, cut the railroad and cut off Jack
son from Richmond. The movement is as ex-
citing as one of Paul Morphy's games. Fair
weather, good roads, and ten days more-six
perhaps-will see terrible stroke given to
the rebellion. 1t is the first exhibition of real
skill and genius We have had thus far, and l
am informed through two sources that to the
President belongs the honor of its conception.

The Draft IN Wisconsin.
A RRE EST OF RS.
MILWAUKEE, Nov. II.

MILWAUKEE, NOV. 7.
The Osaka County mob not content, with
destroying the draft box and rolls, attacked
the private residences of several prominent
persons, stealing and demolishing everything
they could lay hands on, and battering all who
refused to side with them. The Provost Mar
shall, with 600 infantry, left here on the steam
ers Sunbeam and Comet last evening, and to-
day arrested some fifty of the rioters.

A BOLD Internationally afternoon
some thief opened the showcase at the door
of the store of Mr.. John F. Rand, Clapp's
block, Congress street, and stole therefrom
goods to the value of four or five dollars
This was rather a bold operation, on a small
scale, as there were many persons in the store,
and others passing at the time the larceny was
committed.

A PICTURESQUE Rebel Army.

A correspondent of the Charleston Cour-
Ter thus describes Gen. Price and his army
AS few people have an idea of the char
acter of the man, give you hasty pen
and ink sketch, as he appeared to me dur
ing brief inserview. He is over six feet
in height, with frame to match, full but
not portly, and straight as an Indian. His
carriage is marked with dignity, grace, and
gentleness, and every motion bespeaks the
attitude of the well-bred gentleman. He
has large Websterian head, covered with
a growth of thick, white hair; high,
broad forehead, forid face, no beard, and a
er fail to discover the iron VIII that sur
mounts all obstacles. r-.N
The army of Gen. Price is made up of
the extremes. 1t is heterogeneous mix
ture of all human compounds, and repre-
sents in its various elements every condi-
ton of western life There are the old
and the young, the rich and the poor, the
high and the low, the grave and the gay,
the planter and the laborer, farmer and
clerk, hunter and boatman, merchant and
woodsman-men, too, who have come from
every OLdJ6, anu O66u DIOuL6u III every 1dI-
itude, from the mountains of the north
west to the pampas of Mexico.
Every man has come from his homestead
fitted with the best and strongest that low
ing mothers, wives and sisters could put up
on him. And the spectacle presented as
they are drawn up in line, whether for
marching or inspection, necessarily forms
an ara beSOue nattern of the most Darti col
ored crowd of people upon which human
eyes ever rested. Some are in black full
citizens dress, with beaver hats and frock
coats some in homespun drab; some in
gray, blue, and streaked some in nothing
but red shirts, pants and big-top boots /;
some attempt display with the oldfash-
ioned militia uniforms of their forefathers !;
some have banners floating from their out
er walls in the rear; some would pass for
our friend the Georgia Major, who used to
wear nothing but his shirt collar and pair
of spurs"

The Florida Reefs.

Professor Agassiz delivered lecture in
New York upon the age of the present
physical world as derived from ancient
coins and animal remains of species still
extant especially from coral reefs. The
lecture was devoted mainly to coral reefs
and the conclusions drawn from them as to
the time taken for their formation. He
said that the popular notion that the coral
was the work of an insect was entirely er-
roneous. The reefs consist of organized
remains of class of radiates, which be-
come rigid by the continual deposits of
limy particles. The corals begin their
work at the depth of twelve fathoms and
work upwards. The Florida reefs are the
best in the world for scientific observations.
From observations made upon them by
Prof. Agassiz, he has found that in four
teen years the growth of the coral about
the coast forts was almost an inch, which
would make about seven inches in a centu-
ry. To be safe, however, he allows one
foot a century. With this as basis, the
youngest reef on the coast-the Florida
Keys-was found to be at least 5000 years
old. But the Keys are founded upon
similar reef which was founded before the
outer one This adds 5000 years more to
the age of the banks. Then landing upon
the main land, a third reef is found pre-
cisely similar, adding another 5000 to the
chronology. But back of this is a fourth
and still older coral reef, which adds 5000
years more. Here positive Investigations
cease, and Prof. Agassiz claims to establish
the fact indisputably that this portion of
the world is at least $4,000 years old, an
age far beyond any record of the race now
inhabiting it.

Japanese Habits.

The women are as fair of skin as most
Europeans, and are we'll formed; their arms,
hands and feet being well moulded. Were
it not for their awkward manner of walk
ing, owing to their sandals, they would be
graceful; when sitting and conversing, the
movements of their arms are particularly
So Their abundant black and rather coarse
hair is bound up into thick masses at the
back of the head, and a number of little
arrows, made of gold, silver or ivory, are
passed through it, something in the same
manner as with the peasant girl on the
Rhine Their cOifire once made, and the
hair plastered with wax, it remains un-
touched for many days, care being taken
not to disorder it in sleep. The teeth are
an object of much attention; the young
girls and the men keep them white and
even; the married women still even, but
glossy black. Brushes, made of soft wood,
and fine powder, are used to keep them
white but the picture of an old woman,
with her kani- box before her, blacking her
teeth, is one of the most disgusting sights
which a stranger can look on. Many girls
also blacken their teeth, but the substance
with which they do it is not very durable,
as l have seen a brush and a little powder
make them white and glistening again in a
few minutes. The women also extract
their eyelashes, paint their lips and cheeks
with safiower (rouge), and use rice pow
der extensively in their toilette Alto
gether, the japanese men and women, if
not strictly beautiful, have much which is
agreeable, and certainly original. The
young of both sexes are remarkably pleas
ing ruddy, laughing, and graceful in their
actions; but though young girl be like
an angel at fourteen, she will be worn out,
old, and ugly at twice that age.-Japan,

Fun AT HoME.-Don't be afraid of fun
at home, my good people. Don't shut up
your house for fear the sun will spoil your
carpets and your heart, for fear hearty
laugh SHOULD shake down some of the mus
ty old cobwebs there If you want to ruin
your sons, let them think that all mirth
and social enjoyment must be left at the
threshold when they come home at night
When once home is regarded as only a
place to eat and drink and sleep in, the
worlze is begun that ends in the gambling
house and reckless degradation Young
people must have fun and recreation some
where. If they do not find it at their
hearthstones, it will be sought in other and
perhaps less profitable places. Therefore,
let the fire burn brightly at night, and
make the home ever delightful with all
those little arts that parents so perfectly
understand. Don't repress the buoyant
spirits Of your children half an hour of
merriment round the lamp and fre-light at
home, blots out the remembrance of many
a care and annoyance during the day, and
the best safeguards they can take with
them into the world, is the almost unseen
influence of bright little domestic circle.
