THE ARMY OF THE POTOMAC AND THE
ARMY OF VIRGINIA INTERMINGLED


New YORK, Aug. q. The Fredericksburg
correspondent OF the Tribune, dating Monday,
says musketry firing was heard this morning.
An Intelligent contraband came in Yesterday
and reported that our troops were licking the
rebels, and that We had captured l3 guns. A
Lieutenant OF the cavalry arrived last night,
and he corroborates the contrabands story, but
says that the number of guns captured was IL.
he also states that when StonewalI Jackson's
force reached tue Rappahannock at Bennett
Ford, some Is or 20 miles from here, party
OF Gen. McDoweli's forces were on the South
bank OF the river. He says they secreted them
selves under cover Of the woods and that Jack
sons forces passed them and attempted to ford
the river. While in the attempt, Gen. Pope
troops opened destructive fire on them, and at
the same time McDowel's men threw themselves
on their rear, thus bringing them between two
fires. This officer says that this portion Of Jack
son forces, he cannot say how many, We're ut
ter!y annlhllated, and that the river was red
with blood.
The army Of the Potomac is now interminged
with the army Of Virginia
The Alexandria correspondent of the 25ih
says, by 20 night the entire line of the Kappa
hammock will be impregnable, and it is not I'M
poss bic that before the close Of the week the
army OF Y;TglAla may again axe the offensive.
Gen. Mcclellan and staff are expected here this
afternoon 1t Is not yet known whether he is
to take command OF his troops or is to be trans
lerred 10 some other department.

Saturday the enemy commenced operations
early, and went to work with IA will, using
their artillery on the Rappahannock Station.

This side of the Rappahannock was entirely
clear of rebel forces, or was at last accounts.
Gen. Sgel captured large number of rebels

An Incident on the .sKeers.'

4 young lady from the rural districts o.
Hoosierdom lately visited Chicago with
her beau. Getting into a city railroad cal
fer the first time, she took a seat, while
her lover planted himself on the platform
with the driver. Pretty soon the conduc.
ter began to collect fare, and approaching
the rustic maidez, he said "Your fare,
miss?"
The Hoosier rosebud allowed a delicate
pink to manifest itself on her cheeks, and
looked down in soft confusion. The con-
Auctor was rather astonished at this, but
ventured to remark once more:
"Your fare, miss"
This time the pink deepened to carna-
ton, the rustic beauty replied:
wall, if l am good lookin,' you had't
ought ter say it out loud afore folks -
The passengers in the car roared with
laughter, and the lover coming in to sec
what was going on, at once settledthe fare.

Napoleon and KnaTish Commissa-
risS,

Just before the great battle of Wagram,
while the army was encamped on the Is
land of Lobau, Eear Vienna, Napoleon,
walking day with one Of his Marshala
on the shore, passed a company of grena-
diers seated at their dinner. well, my
friends" said lie, 81 hope you find the
wine good!" at viii not make us drunk
replied one, "thefe is our cellar" point
ing TO the river Danube. The Emperor,
who had ordered a bottle of wine to each
man, was surprised, and made an immedi.
ate inquiry. He found that forty thou
sand bottles sent by him a few days be
fore, for the army, had been purloined,
and were IN counted for by the commits
saries. They were Immediately brought
TO trial and condemned to be shot, which
sentence was speedily carried into execu-
ton. Here was a venal offence, ~insignif-
cant indeed, when compared with the
frauds upon the urgent wants and neces-
sites of our soldiers recently brought to
light, but it received a severe and merit
ed punishment. A few such examples in
our army would do q world Of good.

What Rattle Phrases Mean.

Think only of the common hackneved
expression which pass so lightly between
the lips, when speaking of a great battle.
We talk exultingly, and with a certain
fire, of "a magnificent charge" of ga
splendid charge" yet very few will think
Of the hideous particulars these two airy
words stand for. The splendid charge"
is a hegdlong rush of speed, riding down
and overwhelming an opposing mass of
men on foot. The reader goes no further,
being content with the information that
the enemy's line was "broken" and gave
wav." 1t does not fill the picture. To do
so effectually, we must first think of an
ordinary individual run down in the pub
lie street By a horseman moving at an
easy pace. The result is usually fracture
and confusion. We may add to the tones
Of the picture by setting this horseman At
full gallop and joining 10 him u thousand
other flying horsemen. How will il be
then with the unhappy pedestrian ? So.
when the splendid charge" has done its
work and passed by, there will be found a
sight very much like the scene Of a fright
full railway accident. There will be found
the full compliment of backs broken in
two, of arms twisted wholly of, of men
AAAB-AEa GHOll lltlE ONu bll OltlS. VI ltZS
smashed up like frewood. of heads split
open like apples, of other heads crushed
into soft jelly by iron hoofs of horses, of
faces trampled out of likeness to anything
human. This is what skulks behind a
splendid charge" This is what follows,
as matter of course, when ''our fell
lows rode up at them in style" and "cut
them up famously."
Again, how often does the commander,
writing home through official dispatches,
particularly dwell on the gallant conduct
of Capt. Smith who, finding the enemy
were annoying our right a little" got his
gun in position and "held them in check"
Both expressions are fair in drawing
room phrases, to be mentioned cheerful
ly by ladies lips. 1t is, as it were, a few
flies buzzing about our right wing"
teasing and fretting "'our" men. And
yet, properly translated, it signifies this
That stray men Of the right wing are now
and then leaping with a convulsive start
into the air, as a mimic bullet flies with
sharp sting through their hearts that
stray men, suddenly struck, are rolling
on the ground that q man here and
there is dropping down quite suddenly
with a shrek, his irelock tumbling from
his hand ia short, that there is a series
of violation death-scepes being enacted up
and down the long line.-AH the Year

FRESH MAPLE MoLAssEs.-A correspon,
dent of Field Notes, gives the the following
Maple molasses well made and put
up in cans right from the kettle, and
Theoretically sealed, as you would can and
seal fruits, will keep as fresh as when first
boiled from the sap, and this is decidedly
the best plan for keeping, as when made
in cakes, if exposed to the air, it loses
somewhat of the peculiarly delightful fla
vor for which it is so priced, and is often
injured by insects. Allthis is obviated by
canning while hot. To many families who
do not make on a large scale, this need be
but little expense, as the ans that have
been emptied through the winter can be
used until autumn fruits demand them
again Put up your best in this way
Where large quantities are made for mar

themselves.
