mixed with water, and to appearance
no effect whatever is produced. Thus
in a nail of water we may dissolve and
render invisible more than ten pounds
of silver, lead and iron; but every oth~
er metal can be treated in the same

Tho repetition by the President of this
proposal in his recent manifesto, shows con-
clusivcly that his feelings are thoroughly en-

so, let the tclegraphic dispatches for the last

because when we glance at the ncighboring
newspaper column for current news, on the

another item challenges attention from the

correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
whose letter is dated at Hamburg 18th inst,
says of tho robcl position at Corinth:
at is regarded by o'r engineers as hav-
ing been we'll chosen and well Fortified
Its natural defences are strong. and the in :

or two miles in front of Corinth and run
ming semi-circularly around exactly in front
of our line Of advance, protects their rifle
pits. These are further defended by nbat-
tis of fallen timber and by the swampy
ground which stretches along a great part
of their front. Above these are redoubts
protecting their heavy siege guns. Much,
however, Of their Notifications may be de-
scrbed as simply a rude breast-work of
logs and earth for infantry. Major General
Pope, who was in full view of the fortifca-

PROGRESS OF THE New MoHIToRs.-The
three iron gunboats of the Monitor model,
which were ordered by the Government i'm
mcdiately after the engagement of the Mon
itor with the Merrimsc, have been commenc-
ed at Grecnport, near New York. They
are to be built very much like the Monitor,
except that they are each to have two re-
volvng shot-proof turrets instead of one
The model is also slightly altered, so as To
make them better sen boats, and to give
them greater speed. Like the Monitor, they
are to be propcllers, the deck being but little
above the water line. Their length is to 10
three hundred and two feet over all, with a
breadth of beam of forty-one feet, and q
depth Of hold Of twelve feet. The armor is
to be six inches in thickness. There are at
present but two Of them commenced, but
the blocks havc been laid for the reception
Of the keel Of the third. The work is we'll
along on the first one, however, which is
inside the ship house. The frame, which is
entirely Of iron, is up, except at the bow
aud stern, and the work of putting on the
first layer Of iron plates has already COM
menced. The iron ribs and plates are fors-
cd in separate workshop, but small forges
are set up all along each side for heating
the bolts. AS large crew OF men as can
work with convenience are husily engaged
in rlveiiug tue plates. 1t will be at least
some four months before the first boat is
lauuchcd.

THE FIaHT AT PRINCETON, VA.-Frank-
lin, Ia, May 2O.-Reports from Gen. Cox
from the Kanawha District, are favorable.
The battle Of Princeton was, according to
these reports, severely contested engage
ment, but we were decidedly Victorious
The town, which had been taken by the en-
cmy, was rctaken by Cox, though the force
which sheld it was considerably superior to
that which Gen. Cox could bring against it,
There are, as yet, no details of the con-
test 1t is only known that the enemy was
driven out and that the loss on both sides is
severe.
The headquarters Of the Mountain De-
partmcnt arc now at this place. The gue-
rlIa parties in this region are tolerably ac-
tive; bnt our cavalry are continually on
their tracks, and the bushwhackers lead m
uneasy life.
4 few days ago train with four officers
and convalescent soldiers was attacked by
cuerilas, between Morcfield and Petersburg
and the whole party was killed or captured,
except surgeon, who got away, and brot.
in report of the affair.
Lieut.. Col. Downey, with dstachment
from the Sd Maryland Regiment, who was
sent after the bushwhackers, reports to-
day that he got on the trail of the party,
overlook them, killed their captain and
three men, wounded number, and took
twelve prisoners. Lieut.. Col. Downey and
his party did not receive n scratch. Thus
one more band Of guerillas is broken up.
