correspondence contains the following from
North Edisto:
We have stirring intelligence. The re-
bells have come down in considerable force
and succeeded in cutting off the other
night nearly AN entire company, belonging
to tue 50th Pennsylvania regiment, which
was on little Edisto Island as pickets.-
Strangely enough they neglected to guard
the bidge between them and the main
force. The enemy succeeded in burning
that and then surrounded the pickets'
killing 3, and wOunding dozen and cap
turing about 80 of our men, the balance
escaped to North Edisto. Since then there
nave Oeen several skIrmlshes but with no
result. Ample reinforcements will be sent
to Col. Moore directly by Gen. Benham.-
No further particulars than the above have
been received.

From New York.

NEW YORK, June ..
The Times in an editorial says: 1--WE under
stand that Rev. DR.. Stiles, late Of this city, and
who has for the last year resided in Richmond,
states IN private letter recently received by a
friend in New Haven, that the Confederate army
there numbers 100000. and that it is well dislrib
uted, and determined to make q desperate fight in
the de.ence Of the city. One or two rebel Off
who have been taken prisoners, are reported to
have made statements to the same effect, and so
far a. we aware, the whole testimony entitled
to credence, says the rebel army is approximate If
it does not actually exceed these figures.
letter dated aboard the gun boat Alabama off
Charleston, May 29th, says the rebel steamer Ca
tawba was chased ashore in goisg into that place
by tho Alabama and Pocahontas, riddlcd with
shot and sunk. The woods on Suliiyan's Island
were also sbelled.
The Fort Monroe correspondent Of the Philadel
phia E.7nirer gives this On board the Stepping
Stone. Among others Who had come down with
the rebel flag Of truce train from Richmond, b.
served Mems Depruyn, vice Consul Of ths Meth
erlands at Charleston, and his family, and NJ Le
compe DeahrisseuI, French Consul at Charleston
accompanied by his wife, child and servant
mae inquiry 81 TO the reason OF their leaving
their posts at this present moment, when they are
so much needed to look after the interest Of their
countrymen in Secessia, but could not obtain any
satisfaction. Two things are pretty certain, first,
they did not leave the Confederate ship until she
sinking, ard secondly, that they did not leave
without inStTucti IIom tHeiI TtspcctlSc novcFH
ments, and it may yet appear that n Me- cier's
visit to Richmond had something to do with the
matter.
The Richmond Dispatch Of the 5.h, states that
the rebel loss in the late battle is 5000, inclu-
ding five Generals, % ColoneIs, 10 Majors and
81 Captains.
The same paper complains that the Fedsrals
can at any time cut off the retreat Of the Con-
federates by sezing the railroad at Petersburg,
and intim ises that the retreat to Lynchburg
and the mountains was the only one left them.
special to the Post from Washington says
that Colonel Polk, Of Tennessee, declares that
the flower Of Beauregard's army is at Richmond.
The steamer Guide, Capt. Vail, arrived this
morning from Newbern, n. c., with 45o released

MODEL REFRIGERAToR.--Dr. Burtis
has Just completed a refrigerator at his hotel
which is considerable .ahead Of anything in
shs line. He took . room 10 the north east
basement. 16 by 25 feet in size, covered the
floor with tin to keep out rats, then laid on
pulverizsd charcoal several inches deep, and
covered 1t with q tight floor, the walls were
cei!ed up and filed up with charcoal. as also
was the ceilirg. A three inch tin fue passes
up to the top of the house, to carry off impure
air. On one side is IN ice box elevated about
four feet, lined with zinc with the bottom in
clining. and lead pipe to conduct the water
into.ths sewer. The box will hold couple of
tons Of ice, which will last two weeks. Around
the inside are shelves for butter, preserves
ETC., and hooks are fastened into the walls
whereon to hang hams and fresh meat Under
the ice box is q rack on which to put poultry,
eggs and vegetables. The arrap cement is per-
feet For such q hotel this improvement is in
valuable. The ordinary Temperature IN the
hottest summer weather will be about 45 de-
grees-cold enough to keep fresh meat for four
weeks il necessary. This advantage will be
greatly appreciated. Every thing will keep
perfectly sweet. Not fly nor CLEAN OF
light can penetrate it, It was built by the
Huot brothers, who are capital workmeD.
About $lOO worth Of charcoal was used in its
construction, and the e:.tirs Improvement cost
about $4OO. 1t was little the cleverest ar
rangement for keeping . hotel that can be
found in this latitude, and will pay for itself
every year the hotel is run.
