Cheap Bread.

"Bread and butter" are the only articles of
food of which we never tire for a day, from
early childhood to extreme old age. A pound
of fine flour or Indian (corn) meal contains
three times as much meat as one pound of
butchers roast beef and If the whole product
of the grain, bran and all, were made into
bread, fifteen per cent more Of nutriment
would be added. Unfortunately the bran, the
coarsest part, is thrown away; the very part
which gives soundness to the teeth and strength
to the bones and vigor to the brain. Five hun
dred pounds OF fine flour give to the body thir-
ty pounds OF the bony element while the same
quantity OF bran gives one hundred and twen-
ty-five pounds. This bone is "lime," the
phosphate lime, the indispensable element of
health to the whole human body, from the
want of the natural supplies Of which multi

in these ''phosphates" must pass through ma.

nipulations, in alembics specially prepared by
Almighty power and skill, in order to impart
their peculiar virtues to the human frame; In
palmer phrase, the shortest, safest, and most
infaliible method of giving strength to body,
bone and brain, thereby aSresting disease and
building up the constitution, is 70 eat and di-
gest more bread made out OF the whole grain,
whether OF wheat, corn, rye or oats.
But we must get an appetite for eating more,
and power OF digesting more. Not by the ar
taking tonics, but by moderate, continued, and
rennunerative muscular exercise in the open
air every day, rain or shine. And that we may
eat the more of it, the bread must be good and
cheap, and healthful and that which Combines
these three qualities to a greater extent than
any other known on the face of the globe, as
far as we know, is made thus:-To two Quarts

HKRNAN, THE RPUeILIsr.-John U. Heenan,
the American pugilist, was, as lately an
nounced, seriously injured by jumping from q
railroad car at the moment Of the recent col
Iision ON the Southwestern Railway near Eg-
ham, England. His spine being injured, par
tial paralysis Of the lower limbs ensued. The
physicians think, however, that by attention to
regimen and the observance OF rest, he may so
far recover as to nloy tolerably comfortable
existence, but that all idea of his resuming
the career OF an athlete must be abandoned
The medical examination revealed the fact that
Heenan's frame was generally aprey to disease
claim for damages with the railroad company,
and that body has awarded him f3O0. Heenan
proposes to take q "benefit" tour in England,
and then return to America.

no killed or wounded reported.
Gen. sturgis' command was sent
into the fight by regiments, as they ar
rived on the ground, and in this way
was whipped. The management was
miserable.
Capt. Beauleau, Of Company G.,
in letter to Mr.. A. Il. Curry, states
that the regiment was marched fifteen
miles, before 3 p. NJ, under "broiling
sum-" the last four, before going into
action, being made on the soluble
quick" The res iment was sent to the
extreme right, and did good service.
In The retreat, the Ninth with a negro
regiment protected the rear. Company
G, acting as skirmishers, attracted gen.
eral notice and was highly spoken Of:
Lieut.. Becker, after having proved
himself a brave and reliable officer
during the four hours of battle, became
separated from his regiment, and Joined
another. When last seen he vas sit

No Fightingin Grants Ar

Operations Commenced against
Fort Darling.
REPUlSE OF GEN. PILLOW IN
GEORGIA.

WARRINGTON, June ~.
Advices from tho army show that
there has been no heavy fighting DUR
ing the past few days, but skirmishes
are kept up all along the line. Can
nonading at times is heavy.
Firing was heard about five miles
from Bermuda Hupdreds on Saturday,
where General Butler is cntrenching.
The rebels made au attack upon Rut-
lcr's entertainments, but did not effect
anything, and they we're driven of.
On Saturday the rebels attacked
Sheridan's rear at Wilcox's Landing
and captured few Of lis men. A
brigade Of infantry was at once dis
patched to protect Sheridan's rear aud
the rebels were checked and Sheridan
made for James River, crossing it sue
cessfully with his entire trains. The
railroad is advanced five miles from City
Point towards Petersburg. Yesterday
heavy firing was heard in the direction
Of Petersburg.
On Saturday night the rebels made
an attack on our pickets about the GEN.
tire Of our line as they were being re-
l:eved, but were repulsed with little or
no loss to US.
On the heights beyond Petersburg
the rebels have an Is gun battery:
bearing upon the centre Of our line in
front Of that place. This battery has
been very troublesome, and so far has
proved too heavy for the artillery we
have brought against it.
General Wilson has gone on another
cavalry expedition and good news muy
be expected fron him soon.
Two hundred rebel prisoners were at
City Point yesterday morning.
A letter Of the 25th Gays that Fos-
te1'a force Of tile 10Th corps has prob
ably ere this attacked Chapin's bluff
and perhaps captured it. This would
permit the erection Of strong counter
works to operate against Fort Darling.
Heavy lines and entertainments concen.
trating sweeping fire on Denhy's
Bluff is the evident design of Grant.
