A letter from Baltimore saws ::

A letter from Baltimore says:
Col. Stewart, of the I'd Indiana cavalry,
adds to his statement of the bread riot in
Richmond, that Gen. Winder, after failing
to appease the crowd sent for Jefferson Da-
Wis, who appcard and addressed the multi.
tude. Finally, they promised to 60 home if
he would agree to supply them with daily
rations, which he agreed to do.
The scene was one Of indescribable hor-
ror. After this, renegade Confederate
General from indianapolis, Indiana, came
forward end publicly stated, that from all
the information in his possession, he thought
the Southern Confederacy might, possibly,
hold out for three months under the pres
ent circumstances, but no longer, unless they
obtained better means Of procuring food and
clothing than were now available, or likely
to be. Starvation and insnrrcction are in
evitable, unless relief is obtained and no
prospects therefor were apparent.
COL Stewart is well known and perfectly
trustworthy. .@'-

.f.. IN ATLANTA. -..... .
The Atlanta, Georgia, papers state that a
few days ago some fifteen or twenty women
residents Of that city, all dccently dressed,
collected together on one Of the principal
streets and made an impressment of about
200 pounds Of bacon belonging to private
parties. They did it in quiet. yet bold and
determined manner, one of them quietly
taking out Colts revolver and standing
guard, while the others removed the bacon
They first offered to buy it at prices such as
the Government is paying, but finding the
holder unwilling to sell at such rates, an.
nounced their determination to seze it, which
determination they resolutely carried out.
They were soldiers wives who had large
families to support.

ORGANIZING CoLORED REGINENTs.--Brig.-
Gen. l.. Thomas, Adjutant- General of the
United States, has ordered the immediate or
ganization Of eight regiments Of blacks at
Memphis. He arrived at Helena on the 9th,
where lie ordered the formation Of seven
regiments of negroes. These troops, we be-

THE NEWS.

1T is stated that the Government is max
ing preparations for draft to fill up the old
regiments and that it is not proposed to form
any new regiments at present.
Gen. Grant has suppressed the Memphis
Bul!stin and Argus newspapers for publish.
ing contraband news, and arrested the edit
ors.
Gov. Curtin Of Pennsylvania, has offer.
ed the President 10000 militia to garrison
the forts around Washington, that the troops
now thus employed may be sent to the field
The Government has accepted 10000 new
troops from Kentucky.
We have no news Of importance from
our army near Vicksburg.
Lieut. Col. Kimball of Hawkins Zou.
ayes, was shot few days ago by Gen. Cor.
coran. 1t seems that Col. Kimball had charge
of the outer guard, and during the evening
Gen. Corcoran attempted to pass without the
countersign, simply announcing himself as
Gen. G. Col. Kimball refused to let him
through the lines, and Gen. Corcoran, in the
excitement, pulled revolver and shot the
Col. dead.
The good effects of Gen. Burnsidc's or
der against treason sympathizers is already
being felt. This new policy for squelchng
Northern treason seems likely to prove very
cffectual.
The principal news during the week has
been the Charleston fight. We have roth.
ing additional to that gwen elsewhere. The
attack has not been renewed, and probably
will not be for some time. The conduct of
the Monitors was very satisfactory, and Gov
eminent is said to be more confident of ulti-
mate success now than prior to the recent
engagement.

encouraged by their wonderful success, thes
untlrlng savans commenced the study of other
mineral waters. In one of these they found
another new metal, which gave two dark red
lines in the spectrum. To this they gave tn
name
RUBIDIUM.
These sustances are widely diffused in mi
mute quantities throughout the world. One of
our most promising young chemists, native
of Maine, Mr.. Allen of the Sheffield School at
Yale, has worked up magnificent CRYSTALS of
the platino-chlorid of one of these metals from
Lepidolte found in Hebron, in this State.
Chemists in Europe and America are now
hard aa this new field of spectral ANALYSIS and
the prism has passed from the shelves of the
philosophical cabinet, to the spectroscope of
chemist have thus very briefly given an ac-
count of the discoveries of the celebrated
German photo-chemists, and the question nat
urally arises, "why have not chemists known
all this before?"
Because las physicist in this country has
well saidl a crowd may look down thorough
fare which is strange TO them, and they can
not read single sign upon the stores. But
let one read sign by telescope, and every
body will recognize that he has rightly read it.
So, here. Kirchhof and Bunsen read off the
two new metals, and all the world can read
them now.
As these chemists pursued their studies still
further, they found that even the air which
was consumed in the burning jet had a per-
ceptible effect upon the spectrum. Therefore,
making allowance for this in their experiments,
they began TO direct their attention to the
solar spectrum ITSELF The result of their
study may be summed up in few words. viz: :
they believe that the sunlight comes from an
intensely luminous, ignited atmosphere,
and has spectrum corresponding to the ele-
ments now volatilized in that atmosphere.
Among these elements they consider that
Iron, Magnesium, Chromium and Nickel are
present; while many other metals are wanting
in the solar atmosphere.
Surely these two men have added a new
chapter to chemistry. / shall be right glad if
have conveyed even slight idea of the new
chapter of which we have thus far only read
a single page.
