his departure is thus described:
eat this moment a tagging rebel rode past
the burning house, when some rash boys fred
some half dozen shots at him. Clasping his
horse around the neck, he drew his revolver
and sent back couple Of parting shots, and
then kicked his spurs into his steed, dashed
on run through the length of the town, re-
ceiying the shower Of stones and cudgels of
the boys in the streets as he ran the gauntlet
of the town.

A Volunteer Navy.

Congress passed law authorizing the for
nation Of a volunteer navy. It's privileges
are briefly these: A company Of individuals
purchasing war vessel, has the power Of APP
pointing proper officers, who are commissions
ed by the President, and she is placed on the
same footing with the Confederate naval YES,
sells, her officers and crew being paid by the
government. Her ownership still remains
with the party who fitted her out, and all
prizes taken by her become the. property Of
the owners, with certain percentage reserv-
ed to the officers and crew Of the vessel.
In Richmond a company has been formed
for the purpose, with capital Of one million
dollars, which is all taken. A list is on foot
here, and we are happy to state that already
upwards Of two hundred thousand dollars
have been taken by some Of our most SUBJ
stantial men.
This is an enterprise in which patriotism
and pecuniary benefit are combined. Let all
who eau subscribe to it; no doubt it will pay.
II associations are formed all over the COME
deracy We can soon have navy that will
speedily wipe ont the commerce Of the enemy
from the sea. It is his vital part and the
touci5stone Of success with US. We will be
glad to record general movement towards
getting up volunteer navy throughout the
Contederacy.-Lynchburg Republican.

The Main.Law Man.

Brig. Gen. Neal Dow, Of Maine Law fame,
recently captured near Port Hudson, passed
through Augusta, GA, on Wednesday last,
on his way to Richmond. The Constitution
alist says:
He expressed himself to one Of ourscitizens
who travelled with him on the cars as having
entered the army to deliver the Union people
of the South from the despotism of Seces-.
sion; but he, was satisfied that there are few
Union people in the South, and goes home ut
terly opposed to war of coercion.
He said hehvas aware of the outrages COM
mitted by Federal troops, but they were con-
trary to the wishes and orders Of the officers;
but the army being composed chiefly of the
scum of the North-the refuse population Of
Europe and the United States, they would
plumber and rob in spite Of their officers.
Gen. Dow arrived in Richmond on Satur-
day. and was furnished with quarters at the
Libby Prison.

TO Make MOIasses.
A correspondent in the Mobile New

A correspondent in the Mobile News, says:
The apprehension of scarcity of Sugar
and Molasses in the Confederacy, induces me,
before it is too late, to urge upon every man
who cultiyates as much as ten acres Of land,
to make his own Molasses, at least. Nothing
is easier or more simple than to make Molas
SEES from the juice of Watermelon Take the
juice of ripe melons and boil it in a large pot
or kettle, the larger the better, until it is
brought to the proper consistence. adding
fresh juice from time to time as it boils away.
This is all that is necessary, and this any one
can do.
If the business is conducted on large
scale, a simple press similar to the old fash
Toned cider press, can be made to extract the
Juice from the pulp. After being pressed.
the pulp should be put in a barrel and left to
ferment. Draw off the liquid produced by
the fermentation and it will be found to be
the best of vinegar.

Incidents of the Surrender
OF VICKSBURG.

T. j 4
A Vicksburg letter, describing the meeting
of Generals Grant and Pemberton, on the day
before. our occupation, says
Thousands of soldiers looked upon the
strange scene. Two men who had been Lieu.
tenants in the same regiment in Mexico now
met as foes, with all the world looking upon
them; the one his country's glory, the other
his countrv's shame. When they had APP
preached within two feet, there was halt
and silence. Col. Montgomery spoke: "Gen.
Grant, Gen. Pemberton." They shook hands
politely, but Pemberton was evidently morti-
fed. He said, II was at Monterey and Buena
Vista. We had terms and conditions there"
Gen. Grant here took him aside, and they sat
down on the grass and talked more than an
hear Grant smoked all the time; Pemberton
played with the grass and pulled leaves. It
was finally agreed to parole them, allowing to
the officers each his horse. 1t was polite
thing The dread Of going North, and fear
of hard treatment, had deferred them from Ca
pitulating soonsr.
Our men treated the rebels with kindness,
giving them coffee, which some have not tast-
ed for a year. The city IS much dilapidated
and many houses are injured. The Vicksburg
paper Of July I'd, admissible eating of mule
meat and the pilfering Of soldiers.
+ In private houses there seems to be much
suffering from sickness and our missiles.
The river batteries ut Vicksburg consist of
&c guns Of the Blakely, Whitworth and Brook
pattern. All these fell into our hands,.

Gen. Lee,ssArmy.

The latest reports from Gen. Lees army
state that a rather heavy skirmish occurred at
Shepherdstown on Monday last, between our
forces guarding the ford It that place. and the
enemy. The fighting was principally with
artillery, and resulted in the Yankees being
driven back. We lost some twenty or thirty
in killed and wounded. The enemy's casual
ties are unknown.
4 rumor, which has obtained some circula-
ton, that the Yankees had crossed the river
in force. near Leesbnrg. and were marching
in the direction Of Manassas, with the design
of cutting off Lees communication with Rich
mond, is entirely unfounded.
An suppression prevails generally that Gen:
Lee will permit Meade I'd cross the river and
return before him until lie reaches the neigh
borhood Of Winchester, when great battle
will be fought, which win decide the fortune
OF the campaign for the present year
The Yankee commander. with the usual dis
regard of truth, claims I'd have captured 1000
prisoners during the falling back Of our army
from 'Hagerstown. We have the best.authori-
ty for stating that our entire loss in the bril-
liant movement did not exceed three hundred
In killed, wounded and missing, while the enc
my suffered to an equal If not greater extent.
We took two hundred and fifty prisoners, and
killed and wounded at least one hundred.
We feel persuaded that al anxiety as to the
safety of our army Of Northern Virginia may
be dismissed from the public mind. Gen. Lee
is perfect master of the situation," as very
few days will show, andth general result of
the campaign will be such as to satisfy the
most sceptical Of its benefits to our cause. -

Cured after the Disease
was fully Developed.

The Brooklyn NEW York; papers mention
the following remarkable cure of shipwright
named Oscar Burch, who was bitten recently
by mad dog, hydrophobia manifesting itself
on the Sunday following. He was most vio-.
lent and rapid during each successive attack
of the disease. What followed is thus mar.
/ rated:
On Monday morning, the 10th inst, Dr.
Lewis Bauer, the health officer of the city,
took entire charge of the case, and actuated by
| the theory that the poison had expended its
virnlence upon the spinal cord, as it always
does, having caused inflammation of that organ
directed his attention upon it. Without adj
ministering grain Of medicine, he ordered a
thorough (wet) cupping to the posterior part
OF the head and along the spine, following it
up with ice applications to the same extent.
The patient, of course, had to lay on his sto-
mach, and was well secured by mechanical
constraint during this treatment. which was
continued unabated without interruption for
three successive days and nights. The pa
tent was protected against any return of pa
roxysm. His pulse and breathing became
quiet, the pains gradually left him, and iso-
lated muscular twistings became likewise ex-
tinct.
Since Saturday last no outward symptom
has disturbed the steady progress of recovery,
and on Wednesday last the patient was dis
charged from medical treatmen3, apparently
in the best Of health.
The case has naturally created much inte-
rest throughout the city, and the results of
the treatment have been looked for with more
than ordinary anxiety. It must be added
that in some points the case differs from the
ordinary experience, as we understand the
shortest period heretofore observed between
the innoculation of the disease have been Sc
veral days, whereas the present commenced
forty-eight after the bite.
Inasmuch, however, as the Burch case has
been seen by quite a number of reliable per-
sons and by highly competent physicians, OBJ.
jections to its reality on the ground of time
can scarcely be permitted. It is yet ques-
tionable whether the treatment resorted to in
THE case by Dr. Bauer will be eficacious in
its results in similar cases. At any rate this
method will commend itself to the attention
of the profession and the public at large and
future trials must decide its unfailing relia-.
sbility.
