WY GENERAL SooTT RESIGNED. - The
Snrinpfield Mass. RepubEcaH says:


We find in the papers, without any clue to
its origin, the following statement confrma
tory OF some suspicious published in the Re.
publican several weeks since: sit is said
that some months ago, when the rebels were
in force on Munson's Hill, Mcclellan laid a
plan to surround and capture them. This
plan was only known to Mcclellan, General
Scott and Colonel Scott "a relation OF the
Generals by marriage) As the troops
started out at night tor their assault, signal
rocket went up from Washington. On their
arrival at Munson's Hill the bird had flown.
Mcclellan being informed of this, immedi-
ately called on General Scott, finding there
Colonel Scott. He Immediately said to the
General, the enemy have been warned OF
our movements by rocket; they must have
been 80 warned by one of us. Which is the
traitorp' No answer was given. Mcclellan
then called on the President, stated the
above facts, stated his conviction that Colo
mel Scott was the delinquent, and insisted
upon his immediate imprisonment, or his
Punishment, or his own resignation. Then
followed General Seotts resignation, then
his journey to Paris, and the self-banishment

PUBLIC FUNERALS IN ENGLAED.-The
Prince Consort of England had q decided
aversion to expensive OF extensive obsequies,
and it was in accordance with his known
wishes that his funeral was conducted in
such quiet, unpTetending manner, and ia
this connection it may be remarked hat the
aversion to public funerals is growing in
England. The last Duke ofPortlsnd, one of
the Wealthiest noblemen in England, ex-
pressly directed in his will that the expense
of his funeral should not exceed fl00. The
mortal remains Of the late Lord Herbert
were carried by his own servants from his
mansion to the Byzantine church, which he
had built, and were followed by his widow,
his children and his tenantry, all on foot
The body of Sir James Graham reposes in q
country churehyard, under a plain stone,
bearing only his name with the dates OF his
birth and death. The late Duke of Sussex,
the Duchess of Gloucester, and the Princess
Sophia, the uncle and aunts Of the Queen,
VITO wese entitled TO a royal funeral in the
Chapel ct Windsor, chose TO be inferred in
one of the public cemeteries in London. The
Duchess of Kent, the Queens mother, desired

her funeral was quite private, with no Of

FoOLHAaDr.-A letter from Lieutenant

FooLHARDY.--A letter from Lieutenant
Colonel Aawley, of the Hartford Press, from
Tybee, gives the following incident;
Day before yesterday party of Germans
went up to Goats Point. One of the privates
stood on the summit of sandhill, perhaps a
hundred yards less than mile from Pulaski
(that is as near as we can get), and waved
his hat. The others went back out OF sight,
but could see the rebels bringing Q gun to
bear, They warned their comrade, but he
would not heed. As he stood with his back
to the fort a barbette gun sent out little
cloud. Then came the thunder, the rushing
ball, and the rash man lay disemboweled and
cut in two on the sand. 1t was a splendid
shot, and could not be equaled in a months
practice.

ESCAPED PRISONERS VERsIoN.-The editor
of the Mount Sterling Whig has conversed
with several young men who belonged to
Marshal's rebel army, but made their escape.
They give deplorsble account of the suffer-
ipgs of these troops. To use the language Of
one of them, he says: THE boys will fight
the devil when they have whisky, but when
they have not got this their condition makes
them unhappy and miserable, and there is
not much fight in them them" These same
young men say that hundreds among them
would run off but they were afraid of being
arrested if they went home. The world, he
says, will never know the half of the suffer-
ing which those men endure and have
endured 30 far. Nearly all curse the day
when they listened to the willy counsels of
the leaders, and went in search of "their
rights" He says nearly all the Kentucky
boys under Marshall would come home aud
behave themselves as loyal men if they could
do so with safety. If Marsballs men have
had hard time of it before this, what must
be their suffering now, without tents, with
out wagons, and camp equipage-all Of
which they had to burn lately to save them
selves from being bagged. The Union soldiers
complain of want OF comfort with an excel
lent commissary department. fine tents, and
tent stoves. These men have neither, and
are in a country where there is virtually
nothing to eat.

the late Sergeant Dixon, who was murdered
by soldier in the Seventy eighth Regiment,
at the camp at Aldershott, Rev. Mr.. Healitt,
who preached the funeral sermon, said he
would not call the murderer soldier, be-
cause the word soldier was an honorable

A novel method of stopping bleeding at
the nose was RECOMMENDED twenty years ago,
by a DR.. Negrier, of Algiers. 1t is so simple,
and is said to prove 60 certain to stop the
beeding, that il may be tried with more than
the usunl confidence. 1t consists in elevat.
ing both hands high above the head, so as TO
grasp SOMETHING, and keeping the hands in
that position until the tendency Of the blood
TO escape at the nose is overcome. Some
times the hands must be kept elevated for
half en- hour, or even an hour or more. The
position must be resumed whenever the
bleeding commences again.
TO COLOR IVORY on BONE.
In the manufacture of articles from ivory
or bone, it is often desirable to give them
permanent color. This can readily be done,
as both ivory and bone are sufficiently porous
TO receive many kinds Of coloring matter.
TO Color Red-Soak the ivory for few
minutes in water that is made moderately
acid with few drops of oil of vitriol Then
place them in a dye composed of weak
hartshoIn, in which plenty of cochineal has
been added.
Another Method-Make a red dye with
Brszil wood, and boil the bone'or ivory in
the dye for three hours, then add alum to
the dye, and boil an hour longer.
To Color Purple Steep the ivory in a
weak solution Of terchloride of gold.
TO Color Blue.-Boil them in a strong
solution Of logwood, and then steep them in
water in which blue vitri0l has been dis.
solved.
