Refugees from Mar insburg bring inteLi-
g nee that there are hut seventy militia in
that town under Madanbush, and that the o
are anxious to throw down their arms and
join the UBion forces. r.. ....
This seems to be q general sentiment
throughout that region. General Jackson
had l7000 men, and a few men, principally
mounted militia, were at Suffield's Station
Boomers Furnace and Kearneysvile Gross
Roads. AT Winchester there were but 200
militia.
The Msrtinsburg Republican of the 18th
inst appeals to the Governor of Virginia to
arm the negroes. II says that at the late
battle near Bath the rebel forces were met
By 7C0 negroes on the Union side, who killed
three of the rebel officers, two privates, and
wounded fifty others belonging to South.

Philnnnnhr Of KnIltInr.

An old lady thus charmingly describes
her Paradise
am an elderly gentlewoman, and, like
many other elderly gentlewomen, very fond
of knitting. Indeed, have often thought
that q liking for this employment ap
proaches simultaneously with old age Ger
tain l am it is very soothing occupation,
and may be considered sort of equivalent
to that great consoler Of the other sex-to-
bacco. ltrequires just onought attention TO
keep one from monotonous thinking, and
the click, click, of the bright little needles
is a pleasant accompaniment to cheerful
thoughts and relief to sad ones. And
what is thinking but knitting or gathering
together stray fancies in sort of shape and
outline? The rainbow-hued scarf an en-
blem ofyouthful dreaming, the somber hose,
of maturer, sadder musings. There is this
difference, however, between the dropped
stitches (or written Words of thought, and
those OF the needles; while those of the
latter are lost, and leave in their places un.
slightly gaps, the former endure and often
reflect beauty on the texture from which
they fell. More especially of an evening do
love to take my knitting in hand, and
when my darling grand daughter Mabel and

FEMALE SECEssIoNIsTs.-Therew was good
deal of curiosity last evening to witness the
departure of the two female prisoners-Mrs.
Grsnshow and Mrs. Baxley-hom the
private prison at the corner of Sixteenth
street and the Avenue, to the old Capitol
Prison. Mrs. Grenshows little daughter
accompanied her. The two women behaved
themselves quietly, and took up their abode
in new quarters without tear or a COM
plant. The secret abettors with the rebel
lion here and elsewhere have endeavored to
get up a false sympathy for these female
offenders, by misrepresenting the facts in the
case. There has not been time since they
were incarcerated in which they could not
have gone South under proper conditions,
but they insisted upon their right to remain
in the Capital to play the spy and traitor
against the Government. The Government
decided that petticoats should not be coYer
and excuse for treason Washington Letter,

YEAsT.-A correspondent writing from
the camp mentions the fact, that one of the
chief bakers of the Thirty fourth Regiment
was formerly the baker Of Lord Lyons. He
makes his yeast from hops and water alone,
and no better, sweeter or lighter bread was
ever tasted. Talking OF yeast, he tells of a
simple recipe for making the same, which
is highly commended by the general OF one
of the brigades. 1t may be of service to
many poor camp baker as well as to a
tidy housewife. Boil one pound Of flour,
quarter of a pound of brown sugar and a
little salt in two gallons Of water for one
hour. When milk warm bottle and cork it
close 1t will be ready for use in twenty

Mr.. HOLT AND The Sioux IEpIASe-Yes.
t.rday we copied from a Baltimore cotempora-
~ the following paragraph, which, or ing uiry,
We find to be erroneous:
1.-THE President has turned over to Mr.. Hoi,
the task OF examining the testimony concerning
the offending Sioux, with q view of determin-
Ing who are the most guilty parties. Some of
those who are moot clamorous for bloody eye
cutisn may have an opportunity Of de signaling
" no shall be the victims"
The only connection whatever that judge
Holt has had with the case Of the Sioux, is that
IN answer to An inquiry from the PRECEDENT he
advised him thst he could not under the Law
delegate his power TO pardon any OF them to
any other person, and TO suSgeet the propriety
Of his requesting the Attorney General to re-
view the proceedings in the case, and to report
on their legality.

(under command OF Capt Wrisht) was on the
way to Porl Royal, her engine broke down, and
she was forced to remain some hours near

Some Rebels, probably thinking that she was
not armed, put of from the south side Of the
river in five or six boats, in which there were
about 50 persons observed, and made towards
the Dragon; but before they had approached
too near, Capt. Wright let 1y shell, which ex
ploded in one Of the boate, and they hastily
turned and pushed for the shore. With a glass
the officers saw that the men were dressed In
various uniforms, and We're probably a guerilla
band. The Dragon was towed down by the
Satellite, and this morning was brought TO the
yard by the Resolute.
