A Washington correspondent gives the fol-
lowing account Of the process Of embalming
adopted there:
The body is placed on an inclined platform
the mouth, ears, nose, etc, are stopped with cot
ton if wounded, cotton is put in the wound,
and a plaster is put on an incision is made in
the wrist, the attachment is made from an air
pump, and fluid injected into the arteries. The
wound is then sowed up and the body hOisted
up to dry. To save the eyes from sinking in,
wax is put under the eyelids. The hair I found
to come out very easy, but after the embalming
it could not be removed. The bodies take on
an average about seven quarts, but Gen Ian
der took seventeen quarts. There were some
eight bodies ON hand some had been there thiT-
ty days. The operators say in four months the
body will become sOlidi6ed like marble, but no
chance has yet been had to prove it. Col. Ba-
ker's body, on arriving at San Francisco, was IN
an advanced state Of decomposition. DR..
Holmes, late Of Williamsburg, Long Island, is
the oldest in the business here, aud am inform
ed he has made thirty thousand dollars.
Messrs. Brown and Alexander are trying to
get a bill through Congress for the exclusive
right to embalm bodies, and 20 have Congress
authorize a corps of embalmers for each dIvis-
ion. The charges are $50 for an officer and 3,
for u private, and l must say the bodies look as
ifs-lika as if they were asleep.

Sunshine they are certainly not worth % per

died. | am confident that there is not a brigade
in the Onion that has been so much exposed,
and suffered so much from exposure and the
want of necessities, to say nothing of the little

the most Of them, have been accustomed to.
The wasted fences, and sometimes large guam

An Official FisticuG.

The bogus Federal Senator from Western Viz
ginia, has lately been INDUCING in a fight, as
will be seen by the following from the Wheeling
HatelligeHcer
On Saturday morning about II o'clock, Z.
NJ. Norton, United States marshal, and John 5.
Garlic, United States Senator, met near the
Merchants and Mechanics Bank, when the
former struck the latter with his fist. The two
distinguished gentlemen then clinched, and pro
ceeded to strike and wool one another for about
two consecutive minutes, when some gentlemen
interiered and they were separated. The affair
created a ripple of excitement upon the quiet
RialtO where it occurred, and there was some
running to and fro on the part of the populace.
The cause Of the difficulty, as far as we are able
to learn, is about as follows Some time ago
Marshal Norton addressed Senator CaTile a let
ter, charging him with acting in bad faith in the
procurement of certain military appointments de-
sired by deserving young men of this section Of
the country. Mr.. Garlic feeling offended at
Marshal NOrtOn's letter, wrote a reply in which
he intimsted that the Marshal had not acted the
gentleman, and did not understand or appreciate
the relations which one gentleman should sus-
tain toward another. Mr.. Garlic procured the
publication in the Press newspaper Of both the
letter of Mr.. Norton and his reply.
Some other letters passed between the parties,
and a protracted effort was made on the part OF
the marshal TO induce Mr.. Garlic to withdraw
the offensive language which appeared il the
published letter. This, We understand, Mr. Car
lie refused to DO. Accordingly on Saturday
morning Mr.. Norton sought Mr.. Garlic upon the
street, and asked him if he intended to withdraw
the offensive language. Mr.. Garlic replied that
he would not, wheTeupon he was assaulted by
Mr.. Norton, and the scrInmaee took place as
/ aforesaid.
A warrant wac served upon Mr.. Norton by the
city sergeant, which he is to answer to-day be.

Cumberland Gap-A Hard Country for
campaigning.

The father Of Capt. Wetmors of the 9th Ohio
battery, having been Oh a VISIT to the camp Of the
18th brigade near Cumberland Gap, writes to
the Cleveland LeadcT a report that shows the
great hardship these troops have undergone:
Though at one time only six men of the bat
terry were reported fit for duty, (and but two
men have escaped sickness from measles, diar-
rhea, camp fever and such diseases), at the pres
ent time all are recovering and but two are so
PROSTATE as to need much assistance. So many
have been sick that extra duties have necessarily
been imposed on those who were cOuvalescent.
The roads have been in such a wretched state,
so destroyed by six days and a half of rain out
of every seven since the LIST of January, until
tine 25th Of March, that at times it was impOssi-
bic to get necessary supplies, and the horses and
mules have consumed all the forage in this part
Of the country. Government is now paying,
with the improved condition of the roads, equal
to from two to three dollars for oats in the straw.
The products of this miserable country are
completely used up, and forage is brought one
hundred miles and more, over roads where from
three to four miles was the average daily pro
press. Butter, eggs, meal, chickens, etc, are
about FIVE times their usual price, aud within the
radius of thirty miles not enough could be pro
cured TO furnish the brigade one week. In
coming here, l saw in the last sixty-fve miles
onIy two buggies, and neither OF these had beer
used in the last sixty days.
The three thousand mules, used by the govern
ment for transportation, and about an equa
number Of artillery, cavalry and officers horses
) are now almost y~alueless for want OF food anC

sent her compliments to the rebel Gag ship N tie
shape of a shell from her bow rifles. The eieVa.
ton was excellent, and the shell exploded III
rectly over her. The Carondelat followed SUIT
and the Benton sent another, the latter taxing
effect. but with what result is not knOwn. I'm
mediately after the last shot, the rebel flag snip
returned fire, their shell exploding directly over
the Benton, the fragments dashng into the wa
ter between her and the -CsrOndelet. Again the
Benton returned the fire, when 1t was evident
that the rebel feet was leaving. The hre be-
came animated for a few minutes, the Clncin-
matt, which had come dOwn in range, Joining H.
As the enemy's boats disappeared down the
bend, they fired one more shot which struck the
water a few feet in front Of the Benton. All
steam was crowded on cur feet, but the rebels
could outsail us, and were soon out OF sight
around Plum Bend.
A courier was then sent up, ordering the NOR
tar dOan, and the feet steamed along more
leisureIv, and rounded to in Plumb Bend, Just
below the town of Osceola, the county seat OF
Mississippi county, Arkansas. The afternoon
was spent in recOnnOiseTing, and at O'Clock the
boats moored to the Tennessee shore awaiting
further orders.
We are living in the Plum Point Bend, probs-
bly the most difficult place in the Mississippi to
navigate. The channel here IS constantly chang
ing, and new bars are yearly thrown up in
which immense amounts OF DRIFT collect and be-
come imbesded, rendering navigation extremely
difficult.
The Arkansas shore makes a bold sweep here,
running down to a narrow point, behind which
is the first Chickasaw bluff, six miles below US.
A few cabins skirt the Tenn essee shore, the i'll
mates of which are regarding US with curious
eyes, but we can learn nothing from them, as the
commodore has strictly forbidden communica-
ton with the shore.
Thus ends the tirst day of the expedition; hay
ing tor its attainment the capture Of Fort Pillow.
Prompt action is expected, and decisive work is
ahead. 6. !. Il.
