were sent through that place to Culpep-
per Court House, from the battle in
Maryland. tits now established beyond
doubt that Lees report Of a loss of only
5000, isgrossly false, and that it amounts
70 at least five times that number.

Williamsport. lie also states that a large
number of bodies of dead rebels are
lying on the Virginia side Of the Potomac,
at the point OF the late skirmishes, near

composed that none care to touch them,
while the rebel commanders assert that

about dead men.

the breaking of the rope, but before the
boat could be stopped she run on large

thirds across the saloon, and passed
through the ceiling into the texas. The
crashing of the wood and the escape of

News about the Draft.

The Boston ItqUeiier states upon good
authority that the New England Cover
nors have received no orders of any kind
from the President for a second draft
The story Of 100000 more men being
called for as soon as the 100000 ake OBJ
tanned is therefore unfOunded The.
Chicago Journal says this should noe
check local organizations for military
drill, as the men may be needed very
soon. By pursuing such SYSTEM,
the rebels have been able to replenish
their army so frequently with disciplined
soldiers. A few weeks drill gives an
immense advantage to recruits.
Drafted men are treated as follows in
Connecticut: they are allowed 20 choose
what companies they will go in, if the
Captain of the company gives his con-
sent. They have no voice in the cleo
ton Of officers, and can only obtain a
furlough by giving sureties for their APP
pearance when wanted. The conscripts
from Hartford were sent to camp on
the 18th. One of them had secured a
substitute for $500, but the fellow took

The Terrible Battle of Iuka,

The fighting at the battle Of Iuka was
terrific. A letter says
The rebels charged and took the Elev-
enth Ohio Battery four different times
and it was as often retaken by our boys.
Every horse in the battery was killed,
and there were only eight men left I'M
wounded, and fit for duty. Every officer
was wounded, and Que 1t. killed 1t
was supported by the Fifth Iowa, who
fought like tigers-their first battle, too
they met the rebels every time they
charged, and fought them at close quar-
tiers. The desperation of the enemy was
astonishing Several of them endeavored
TO tear our colors from the hands of the
men by main strength, and either per-
ished in the attempt or were taken pris-
Oners.
In one spot next morning l counted
seventeen rebels lying dead around one
of their Colonies. Sixteen feet square
would cover the whole space where they
died with their commander. Between
two casions of the Eleventh Ohio Battery
lay sixteen dead horses, and the battery
| lost ninety three in the fight In one
place Law rebel and Union soldier, the
Unionist shot through the breast, and in
falling he had plunged his bayonet into
the breast Of the man who shot him, anc
they fell together, the rebel clutching oul
boy by the throat. They lay in this
position on the field next morning, and j

it has been fesrfully bloody. Never

RETURN OF A PRIsoNER.-Mr. A. S.
Nourse, Of the late firm Of Levitt,
Nourse, & Co., who was banished the
city about SIX months ago and immur-
ed in prison at Columbus, Miss, reach
ed the city yesterday. Mr.. Nourse
was regarded as a Union man when
the Confederates held sway, and one Of
the charges alleged against him was
that he thought the Federal army
would be in Memphis in three months.
For that, and other equally heinous
offences, be was sent into exile at Co.
lambus, Miss, where, with some 40 or
so others from Tennessee and Ala
bama, he was confined until within a
few days past, when he was paroled.-
He gives an interesting account of his
treatment and fare while in prison
says that provisions are scarce and fare
very indifferent-that few weeks ago
the prisoners were brought out and
asked to take the oath. that all refused,
when they were put back in prison.

finally they could feed them no longer;
when the prisoners were again taken
out, and all who were from the North
ern States, Kentucky, or Missouri,
were paroled, while Teunesseeans were
required TO take the oath. Mr.. Nourse,
on being released, had to walk TO Mem
phis, a feat which, in his weakened
condition, was well calculated to have
deleterious effect upon his health

FLANNEL.-Flannel should be worn
in summer and winter, during the day,
but should be taken of at night. In
summer it allows the perspiration to
pass off without condensing the skin,
and prevents the evil effects OF the
rapid changes of temperature to which
we are liable in our changeable climate,
when out of doors. In winter. as a
non.conductor of heat, it is protection
against cold. at night the flannel
jacket or jersey should be exposed to
a free current of air, and allowed
thoroughly to dry; it should never be
put in a heap Of clothes by the bedside.
Flannel is usually only worn over the
chest and abdomen.
