A Cooking Wagon for the Army of the
Potomac,
The Philadelphia Enquirer says;

lIlC I Hllttdcl kJiild I9ilq uiitl say .
"A novel invention passed up Chestnut
street yesterday morning, attracting much
attention 1t was a cooking wagon pre-
sented to the u s. Christian Commission
by patriotic gentleman of this city. 1t
was drawn by two fine hOrsos. The cook
ing wagon consists of three boilers for ma
king tea, coffee and soup. From the fur
mace of each Of those boilers smoke
pipe rises, giving the machine the resenl-
blance of steam fire engine. Each
boiler holds fourteen gallons, and is capa-
bic, while on the march, with good fuel, of
boiling ten gallons each every twenty min
utes, and when stationary they will boil
twelve gallons each in the same time, which
would be from ninety to one hundred and
eight gallons per hour. The machine is
coupled together like piece of artillery,
and can be unlimbered and part of it sent
after more provisions or wood, if necessary.
"The provision chest, which is on the
front part Of the wagon, is fitted with ja-
panned cans for holding respectively one
hundred pounds of sugar, thirty pounds
of ground coffee, twelve pounds of tea
twenty pounds of corn starch, and thirty
pounds of extract of beef
1.-TWO tin buckets accompany the ma
chine, for the purpose of carrying water,
soup, or coffee. to any distant portion of
the field also two grid-irous, for toasting
bread or broiling meats; and an axe, with
which to cut wood for the furnaces. I'm
der the wagon is a box, in which the fuel is
carried.
"The boilers in which tea and coffee are
made contain perforated strainer ON top,
into which tea or coffee is put, and which
prevents the leaves and sediment from be-
ing drawn off with the liquid.
1T is said that enough food can,be cook
ed in this wagon to feed four hundred men
at one time. 1t will prove of real use to
the Commissions extensive operations in
the Army of the Potomac"

Are We to have Another Invasion. .


The reported crossing of the Potomac
by 5000 cavalry and artillery suggests. the
question, whether poor Maryland and Penn
sylyania are again to be put through
course of shivers and the capitol of the ma =
tiOn again to chatter with terror. 1t seems
quite probable. Therecent raid in its out
come was so much of failure that the
Richmond Press has taken to berating
Breckinridgeand Early Theinnumerable
horses, cattle, sheep and hogs which the
rebel army had taken and which they were
supposed to be carrying to their hungry
brethren in Richmond, were unfortunately
for the hungry rebels, almost entirely COB
bled up by our pursuing troopers. The
Ghagrin and modification attending the
invasion, would therefore be an inducement
to try again. -a5
But more than this prompts renewedat-
tempts on Washington. Now that Lee is
shut up in Petersburg and Richmond, with
all his southern communications cut or in
danger of rupture, it is suggested that his
only way is to man the Notifications of
Richmond with portion ofhis army while
the remainder go on a grand invasion
expedition down the Shenandoah Valley
and into the land of the Shadbellees." -
This theory Of Lees operations seems the
most natural one that can be suggested,
and the crossing Of the Potomac By 5000
rebels, may only be the precursors Of q

Rebel correspondence and Mails in
ShermRn's Army.

army
From letter, dated Chattahoochee Riv-
er, July 10th, we extract the following:
How close we are to Atlanta, to be surel
and how near the rebel newspaper CORES
pondents are to the base They ought to
be thankful to General Sherman for the
numerous defeats he has allowed the
Confederates to infict upon him, whereby
they are exempted altogether by being
brought so near home, from the multitudin-
GUS tribulations which wait upon the BO-
hemian in the prosecution of his labors in
our army. General Johnston's army is
now simply a suburb of Atlanta, where its
rumors and incidents come entirely within
the reach of the enterprising "local" Not
withstanding all these inducements and
facilities for the successful prosecution of
journalizing, it is strangely reported that
there is existing in the rebel city only one
newspaper, the Appeal, while, only few
weeks ago, there were at least four dailies.
Despite the great and constantly increas-
ing distance from home, which we have
obtained, the mails are regular and reliable
to degree, which is surprising. Newspa-
pers often come through from Cincinnatiin in
four days, though generally in about five
or six, thanks to Adams Express. Nearly
every brigade has its postmaster who visits
Marietta regularly every day, following up
the men at night, if they have moved dur
ing the day, and dispensing to them
mail by no means niggard or old The
great assortment of articles carried, too is
a signal illustration of the care exercised
by the Government for its defenders. Ar
ticles of clothing are frequently sent to the
soldier; but the most indubitable proof to
him of its kind attentions is that the mail
carrier is allowed to transport him the in
dispensabie tobacco. -Four aplugs" arrived
the other day for brave soldier-boy on
which was paid the sum Of SI,O5 postage,
and it was counted cheap enough.

Sensational Dispatches Contradicted.

The public should know that most ofthe
sensational paragraphs, which appear in
the New York World as special dispatch
es from Washington, were never sent from
here, either by telegraph or mail, but were
manufactured out of whole cloth in New
York. This is the case with reference to
all statements that have recently been
published concerning Cabinet changes
The assertion in the World of Wednesday,
that Secretary Stanton had resigned, OF
been removed, never had the slightest
foundation in fact or rumor every body
in Washington knew it to be utterly false
but people at distance do not seem to be
so well informed as to the mendacity Of
the World.

There is new oil excitement in West
ern Pennsylvania. Gushing wells send
out oleaginous streams, and many green
backs are the result. In Greene and
Fayette counties the excitement is intense,
as great as it used to be about Titusville
and Oil City. Several new companies
have been formed, and before many weeks
pass all the available territory viii be
bought up.

A Rich SeeessionIst Caught in Trap.

A Rich SecessiOnist Caught in Trap.
The Washington Republican says; "a
correspondent says that some days since
it was reliably ascertained that Mr. Aiken,
the wealthy proprietor of the immense
and opulent estate on James river known
as Aiken's Landing, and which will be
remembered at the North as the old base
of exchange, was often in the habit of
violating his parole in favor of the Rich
mond insurgents. A weil-laid plan to de.
tect him operated so handsomely as to re-
suit in his immediate arrest. One Of the
men on one Of the gunboats went to his
house, pretending that he wanted to desert
to the enemy, and asked Aiken assistance
to help him within their lines Aiken
readily. to this and was caught
The arrest was effected by Captain ]. w.
SandersOn, of the Third regiment, Penn
sylvania artillery, and was successfully
carried out. 1t is believed that Aiken has
been in thehabit ofpassing people through
our lines. At least it is known that he has
acquired large amounts of gold for pre-
tending to be able to pass them, and his
position as owner of the site of our base
of exchange, the neutrality of the ground,
and his extraordinary professions of loyalty
have all conspired to increase the conf
dence Of the ignorant in him"

Major J. A. NJ. Mcpherson writing to
Col. Hosmer, from Annadale, Va. gives
| the following account of the last moments
Of General Wadsworth
| Off from the main road, and on a cross
road, known as the Brock road, l saw the
spot where Gen Wadsworth lost his
life was informed by Surgeon Donnell,
| Second Pennsylvania Reserve Corps, who
| deserves honorable mention, and some
lasting testimonial from his comtrymen
for his devotion to the wounded of both
sides, and whom we released with our
wounded at Wilderness Tavern, that re-
| bel Captain from Georgia, found General
Wadsworth, and left him on the field with
piece of paper in his hand stating his
rank and name He was next heard from
in the Reserve hospital, (rebel) which is
about two miles up theroad toward Orange
Court House, where he died This hospital
is ;lciuster of tents, and l cannot conceive
of more dismal place. A man coming in
every few minutes with his Wagon from
the field to the hospital, recognized Gen
eral Wadsworth as the former military
Governor Of Washington, from whom be
had received some Kindness while in the
Old Capitol Prison. This man is civil
ian named Pat McCracken. After the
battle, or at night, he went to his home,
distant about two miles, and next morning
Sunday brought him some delicacies,
such as he had for the wounded. The
General was still lying unconscious on his
stretcher, holding i'll his hand the paper,
and which, if removed he seemed uneasy
at until returned to him again, when be
would clutch conyulsively at it. He seem
ed to realize the importance of the paper
to himself During Sunday he drank
some milk. Monday morning when Nc
cracken returned he found him dead. lie
got a coffin made (he says and buried him
in his own family burying ground. DIR.
ODOnnell says that he thinks he might
have been saved had he had proper med
icaI treatment at once. The bullet struck
the top Of his skull but passed on, crushing
the skull down upon the brain.
