General Cameron has returned from
Russia. The feeling in Europe, he says, is
strong in favor Of Intervention, and this
sentiment is daily increasing in conse-
quence Of inactive military operations
In England, no active Intervention will
take place until Parliament meets. The
success or failure of the present campaign
will probably decide the matter. Decided
victories on cur side alone will dispel the
idea. It is generally understood in Eng
land, that rebel naval attack On the At
lantic cities is in preparation. Three i'm
mense iron-olad rams, the most powerful
ever constructed, arc building in the Eng
ish ship-yards, and with these, it is sup
posed, the rebels viii attack the northern
cities.
In this view, as well as that afforded by
q glance st our own internal interests, the
removal Of Mcclellan and the substitution
Of a man OfvigOr, is gratifying. We must
crush this rebellion, or We shall have a
foreign war upon our hands. The peace
men would daily until intervention made
the prospects better for a compromise, but
the people at large want sharp, stern, un-
relentlng war to the end.

Of humane provision by the Government:
"a board, consisting of Professors Mott.
Gross, Van Buren, Pancoast, and Warren,

Bache Of the Navy, recently assembled by
Surgeon General Hammond to decide upon
the merits Of different inventions and i'm
provements in artificial limbs submitted to
the Medical Department for adoption in the
army and navy, have made their report.
After careful examination Of the various
models presented for their inspection, the
board have decided the inventions Of the
following manufactures to be the best now
in use, viz: Messrs. Palmer, Jewett, Hud-
son, Selpho, and Bly,.
Arrangements have already been made
TO carry out the plan Of furnishing an ar
tiheisl leg to every soldier who has srffer-

costs about fifty dollars each, isconstructed
in the emost substantial manner, resembling
the natural limb, in all its varied move.

on the fourth of Ootober-I cannot state

and did not entirely disappear for several
days. Again in 1S44-eighteen years ago,
there was, On the twenty-eighth day OF
September, month earlier in the season
than this, fall of snow which exceeded
this in amount and duration. It was pre-
ceded by rain and as the forest trees were
yet in full foliage, the snow adhered to
them to such an extent that much valuable
timber was broken down and destroyed by
the great weight Of snow. This will be

Curious Accident and Mo- Escape

We learn that few evenings since a
young lady of this city retired to bed.
This fact, isolated and alone, is not in
tended to produce any extraordinary as
touishment in the minds Of our readers )
but before retiring she laid box of match
es upon a table in her room. Some time
during the night, either through the
agency Of a mouse, or some unknown
cause, the matches ignited. The fire was
communicated to the young lady's clothing
which hung upon chair, and before the
fact was discovered her dressing apparel
was completely destroyed and the carpet
Of the room was in flames. The young
lady upon discovering her terrible situa-
ton screamed like an American eagle, and
soon the household came to the rescue.
The fire was extinguished without any
further damage than we have Indicated

IETEzEAI Merchant tailors
sre required 10 take out license as manu-
faeturert, but as such they have s right to
sell their own goods on their own premi-
sss, without taking out license as dealers.
In some parts Of tho country assessors arc
requiring merchant tailors to take out IL
eense for both. This is mistake, unless
the tailor sells goods other than those he
manufactures to the amount Of 81, 600 per
snnum. A tailor is not required to take
out license as manufacturer, unless his
sales Of goods, after they are made up,
amount to 1000 or more per annum. The
tax Is on the tailor, and not on the pur-
chaser.

Another dispatch says that this report is

St. Louis on Saturday night, in (which three
men were injured. In consequence OF high
water in the river, the inhabitants stopped up q

to prevent the town from being submerged
The roadmaster fearing the track would be
washed away, proceeded with track hands to re-
move the obstruction. They were met by q
crowd who ordered them.of. 81.
The matter was referred to the provost mar
shall, who sent over guard Of sixty men to
quell the disturbance and protect the railroad
men. They found seventy FIVE or one hundred
men assembled to prevent distractions being
removed. The crowd was ordered away, but
refused to 60, and the guard advanced. Several
shots were fred at them, but no one was injured
The guard then charged bayonets on the crowd
and three men were injured, one seriously.
Yesterday Col. Parsons and Mr. Bacon, Pres
ident of the road, went over to examine into
the matter, and decided to allow the obstruc
tions to remain, as their removal involved the
destruction of q vast amount Of property. II
is doubtful whether the embankment Of the
road will prevent the town being submerged, OF
