Premature Reports - Rebel Force at Rich
mond = Jackson opposing Pope = Hdlleck
Cdmmander-in-C hief-From Missouri.
NEW YORK, July 90.
The Tribune's Washington dispatch says it
appears that the stories about the advance of
Gen. Hatch TO Gordonsvile and Charlotte
vile, were premature. He was ordered there
but did not 90, and he is to he held to ae-
count for the failure. The rebels hold the
railroad from Gordonsvile to Staunton. We
have report that scouting party of Indiana
cavalry were surprised on Monday near Fred
ericksburg, and only 10 out of 20 came back
to camp.
A letter from Gen. McClelan's army dated
Goth inst, in the Times, says two deserters
from the 9Th Virginia cavalry came into camp
yesterday. From them we learn that the
main force of the rebel army is located on
bluff near the old tavern on Trent Hill and on
the opposite side of the Chickahominy on
Gaines Hill. They estimate the rebel force
about Richmond, including the troops under
Beauregard, brought from the West, at 1907
600 men.
Virginia advices state that Jackson, with
10000 men, is opposing Gen. Pope.
Magruder has gone TO East Tennessee to take
command of the forces there against Gen. Blu

STEAIGHTENING A CHIMNEY SrACK.-
This operation, for restoring tue colossal
chimney at Port DundaS to perpendic-
u!ar and SAFE position, has been success
fully completed. This was accomplished
by saving several of the mortar beds be-
tween the courccs on the side from
which the chimney leaned, thereby al
lowing it to come back by its own
weight. without the application Of any
external force. Only ono draft was cut
at time, to guard against any shock
which might have endangered the Stabil
ity of the building and, by keeping the
saws wet, bed of mortar was prepared
for the uperincumbtnt weight to settle
down upon. Twelve cuts were made in
this manner on different parts Of the
structure, which generally set before the
saws lad passed through half Of the cir
cumference, particularly in those made
nearest the ground, where the weight
was greatest. - --
Mr.. Duncan MacFarlane, architect, by
whose advice this method was adopted,
supcrintcnded the undertaking. The
principle dimensions oc the chimney arc !:
Total height, 408 feet from surface to
the top of the coping. 454 feet; outside
diametcr at foundation, 80 feet; at sur
face, 81 feet; at coping, II feet. Ac-
cording to the calculations made by Pro-
fcssor Rankinc, the building, independ-
ent of the adhesion to mortar, is capable
! Of sustaining with safety lateral pres
ure of6G lbs. per superficial foot at its
weakest point, being II lbs more than
the force of the greatest storm registered
ii this country North British Mail.

y IoUNG MANS FIRST LESSON. limo
thy Titcomb is guilty of utering very
many blunt truths, and here is one from
his letter to the young
a. take it that the first great lesson j
young man has to learn is that he is an
ass. The earlier this lesson is learned the
better it will be for his peace of mind and
his successes in life. Some never learn it,
and descend into the evening Of their cX-
istance, their ears lengthening with their
shadows as they go. Some learn it early,
get their cars cropped, and say nothing
about it; while others sensiby retire into
modest employmentS, where they will not
be noticed. A young man reared at home,
and growing up in the light of paternal
admiration and fratcrnal pride, cannot
readily understand how any one can be as
smart as he is. He goes to town, puts on
airs, gets snubbcd, and wonders what it
all means be goes into society and finds
himself tongue tied; undertakes to speak
in debating club. and breaks down or
gets laughed at; pays attention to very
nice young woman, and finds vc"y large
mitten on his hands, and, in state of
mind bordering on distraction, sits down
to reason about it. This is the critical
period of his history. The result of bis
reasoning decides his fate If he thor
oughly comprehends the fact that he does
not know anything, and accepts the con-
viction that all the world around him
knows more than he does that he is but
a cipher, and whatever he gets must be
won by hard work, there Is hope for
him. --------------,----
