How 70 Take Leaf Impres.Iens.

Hold oiled paper in the smoke of lamp,
or of pitch, until it become coated with
the smoke; to this paper apply the leaf of
which you desire an impression, having
previously warmed it between your hands,
that it may be pliable place the lower
surface of the leaf upon the blackened
surface ofthe oiled paper, that the numer-
GUS veins which are so prominent on this
side may receive from the paper a portion
of the smoke; lay paper over the leaf
and then press it gently upon the smoked
paper with the finger or small roller
covered with a wooden cloth or some like
soft material, so that every part of the leaf
may come in contact with the sooted pa
per.
A coating of smoke will adhere to the
leaf Then remove the leaf carefully,
and place the blackened surface on piece
Of white paper, not ruled, or in book pre-
pared for the purpose, covering the leaf
with a slip Of clean paper, and pressing
upon it with the fingers or roller as before
Thus may be obtained the impression of
a leaf showing the perfect outlines togeth-
er with an accurate exhibition of the veins
which extend in every direction through it,
more correctly than the finest drawing.
And this process is SO simple that aryper-
son, with a little practice to enable him to
apply the right quantity of smoke to the
oil paper and give the leaf proper pres
sure, can prepare beautiful impressions,
such as a naturalist would be proDd to pos
ses. Specimens thus prepared can be
neatly preserved in book form, interleav-
ing the impressions with tissue paper
art Reereations.

MisrIom rom RaI,imore.

Druid of the World Is an Illustration OF
what an inventive gentleman may do,
who writes to make sensation and yet
skins along the borders of probabilities.
Hin ialyt- t-lestes-oortsiHs a froah batch of
wisdom. According to this gentleman's
notions, there has been beautiful and
mysterious connection between the opera
tions of Generals Lee and Johnston
Johnston has fallen back from Chattanoo-
ga with such ready alacrity, because he
wanted to get into position so as to en-
able him to be reinforced by Lee. .- ...
Accordingly General Lee has already
begun to send off from his ihexhaustable
reservoir ofsoldiers, large numbers to defeat
Sherman in Georgia, while large numbers
are to he sent to Sherman, the rebels are
to assume the defensive on large scale
iu another direction The whole South,
Davis with the rest, have been suddenly
converted to the invasion policy. There.
fore the war is to be transferred to the
North. One rebel army is to invade Ohio
and Indiana, while another gobbles up the
panic-striczen Pennsylvanians.
This magnificent scheme, Matched in
Baltimore, will undoubtedly succeed unle. 5
General Grant concludes to modify it
We shall see what We shall see. .-f. D.

yefT Deyis Wants AnnihiIntion.

Mr.. Gilmore Edmund Kirke,n com
Inunieates to-the Boston Transcript, over
his own name, a statement concerning his
recent visit to Richmond. According to
Nj. GiImore's statement, Colonel Jaques,
of Illinois, went with Kirke without the
knowlsag6of Mr. Lincoln. Mr.. GiIlmore's
pass directed General Grant to allow 81.
R. Gilmore. and friend to pass our lines
and go South" Mr. Gilmore had an in
terview with jeff Davis, and thus reports
his desire to be annihilatod: =-
Jefferson Davis said to me last land with
all his faults 1 believe hima man of truLh):
/" This war must go on until the last of this
generation falls in his tracks, and his chill
dren seize his musket and fight our battle,
unless you acknowledge cur right to self
government. We are not lighting for
slavery. We are fighting for independ-
enee, and that or determination, we will
have h ,5
This language of JEFF. Davis is very sig
nifcant and shows that the rebel adven-
turers who tried to get to Richmond by
pretending they were for Peace, had no
authority to offer any terms but those of
separation. The attempt of the Copper
head Press to denounee the President as
unwilling to listen to regularly constituted
commissioners of peace, is an utter failure,
The Rebel Chief wants no peace and
prefers determination to reunion We
expect that Davis will be gratifed with ex-
termination before very long. s..aa Il

why JeG Davis is for IntIenendeneo

When Horace Walpole, on his return
from Rome was asked ifhe had converted tbe
Pope, he eandidly confessed that he had
not; adding, by way of explanation. that
He was unable to offer that gentleman anv.
thing better than be already possessed.
For kindred and obvious reason, Jefer-
son Davis is naturally the very last man
in the Confederacy to consent to restora-
tion of the Union on whatever terms.
For he Is now one of the potentates of the
earth, ruling with despotic sway a spacious
empire and several millions of human be-
ings and there is no conceivable, at least
no tolerable reconstruction which would
not seriously diminish his power and con-
sequence. He, unquestionably, is afghting
for independence which, in his indiyid7
ual case, includes everything else-since
he has not slave left. If ever be con-
sents to reconstruction" it will be be-
cause he has no alternative.

AnotI,er INVASION.

The second grand. scare of the citizens
of Maryland and Pennsylvania has again
commenced. Again the ringing of bells,
the beating of drums, and all the flourish
and agony necessary to calling the militia
to arms, will be rehearsed from Pitsburg
to Philadelphia, and from the Quaker city
to Washington There is no cheaper de-
vice for getting glory yet left to the rebels
than that of putting Pennsylvania and
Maryland through series Of ague shakes
and palpitations of the heart, Their num-
bers, magnifed by terror stricken women
and flying farmers, win be again exaggera-
ted by the rebel sympathizers, so that the
North, in gaping wonder, will ask, whence
come all their men2 From what mex
haustible sources do the rebels draw, th4t
they are able to detach from the defense
of Richmond so many men for a new in
vas ion 2 feE.
The people may now look for sensations
on a large scale. The rebels have already
entered upon tie stage again with fine
effect. Three or four generals are report
ed killed, while our army has fallen back
to Harpers Ferry and the Ohio and
Baltimore road is again cut.

Gold and Confederate Currener.


A Correspondent with the army writes
as follows: ''-- 81 pr
"Some time ago the forty-Rfth PENN
sylyania regiment found a bot of silver
and gold, amounting to ten thousand dol
lars in all. Many of the Union soldiers
bought a portion Of it at a slight premium.
During some of the forbidden interviews
which often occur between the pickets Of
the hostile armies, the Federals would
show handful of silver and gold to the
rebels, with-.Do you fellows get paid of
in these little fellows? ? We do, We Just
got paid four months pay The story
spread like fire among the Confsderates;
they were wild for buying.goldand silver
$40, sl5, $50, SIS, and even thirty in Con-
federate currency was offered for one
dollar in gold; but the Union soldiers de-
clined to take the. worthlessrags Of the
COnfederacy. y.--Bosson TFanscript

General smith on one Negro Soldier.

General Smith on the Negro Soldiers.
aCarleton7 writes from the field to the
Boston Journal:
"a few days ago L sat in the tent of Cen
eral w. t. Smith, commander of the 18th
Army Corps, and heard his narration of
the manner in which General Kinks di-
vision of colored troops stood the fire and
charged upon the rebel works east of Pc
tersburg, on the 10th of June. There
were eighteen guns pouring a constant
fire of solid shot and shells upon those
troops enfilading the line, cutting it length
wise and crOsswise. Yet they stsod un-
moved for six hoursl Not man flinched.
These are the words of the General. Ii
was as severe test as / ever saw, But
they stood it, and when my arrangements
were completed for charging the works,
they moved with the steadiness of vete-
rams to the attack expected they would
fall back or be cut to pieces, but when 1
saw them move over the field, gain the
works and capture the guns, was aston
ished. They lost between five and six
hundred men in doing it. There is mate
rial in the negroes to make the best troops
in the world if they are properly trained
"ThOse are the words of one of theablest
commanders and engineers in the service
"a graduate of West Point, who earlier
in the war, had the prejudices which were
held, by many other men against the
negro. He has changed his views. He is
convinced, and honorably follows his con-
victions, as do all men who are not stone
blind and perversely willful.

THE NEW POPULAR LOAN.
.lq5ggg Ths Dr'y Of me s.!g;.9Ig,s. Rs9gIs to

Popular loans were organized by Louis
Napoleon and there is but little question
-'-' that the prosperity and peace which France
s -4 has enjoyed for the last fourteen years are
due to this happy idea The usual prac-
10 tice among governments has been to bor-
row from great capitalists, this being the
only course open to them
But since the beginning Of the nine
teenth century, the people the common
laboring classes have been acauInulating
somewhat above the absolute necessities Of
life. Ne more fortunate idea occurred to
Mr.. Chase than that of popular loan.---
Since the country has absorbed several
hundred millions of 5.2Os and lO.4Os, there
.. lg has been far less talk of reputation. Sew
efal years ago the idea of repudiation was
not only secretly cherished BY many per
sons, but even openly advocated in some
Of the copperhead papers Of the North
All such take has vanished and the more
the people talk Of popular loan, the less
-. will the thonght Of frepudiation be cherish
ed ~
The large amount already taken up by
the people has encouraged Mr.. Fessenden
to attempt a new loan on plan some
what different from any heretofore adopt
ed
The new popular loan which Secretary
Fessenden calls for is offered by him with
the belief that there is patriotism enough
among the people to furnish the means
necessary to the successful prosecution of
the war. Mr. Fessenden has decided not
to issue any more greenbacks nor TO go
abroad for a foreign loan. He believes
that the tax bill now in operation together
with an efficient system of popular loans,
will furnish the government whatever
money is needed. Thenew loan, of which
two hundred millions are authorized, is to
be issued in denominations Of $1,000 5OO-
1000, and 1000 and in blanks or payable
to order as may be ordered by the Iubscri-
bers.
The new loan is to bear an interest such
that these Treasury notes will be more
valuable than greenbacks. ..s--s 3
1t is the duty of all citizens to take an
interest in this new loan. There can be
no better investment Of money than an in
vestment which, while yielding a liberal
profit to the holder, enables the govern
ment to meet its expenses and reduces the
price of all the necessaries of life. .--

Onr Canadian friends are just now en-
gagged in making loud protestations of love
for old England, with an occasional under
growI that shows they hopesOme day to cut
the apron strings that bind them to Brit
tania. The project of putting Canada in
state of defense is being vigorously ar
gued They are, troubled verymuch by the
way in which their red coats are entieed
away by recruiting agents from this coun-
try. The British American, published at
Kingston, contains the following lamenta-
ton
Consequent upon the late Overwhelming
call for men made by the Federal Govern
ment, the recruiting agents have already
commenced extensive operations for spirit
ing off men from this Province to relieve
the draft in different localities, and bold
determination is exhibited to prosecute the
conscription here, by enticing desertions
from the garrison, persuading men to cross
the lines by promises of employment at
high wages, or even resorting to drugging
and kidnapping their victims in defiance
of the authorities. During yesterday
number of daring attempts were made to
spirit soldiers and civilians out Of the city,
and we have thep particulars of one instance
where farmer fell into the tolls of these
villains, and was drugged preparatory to
embarking him in small boat fer the
other side After his Whereabouts had
been discovered by his family, his son was
maltreated and beaten for Interfering to
rescue the victim. The authorities, we
understand, are informed of the fact that a
numerous gang have recently arrived in
the city on II mission of the kindindicated,
provided with small boats to take over
their victims, and armed with deadly
weapons, doubtless to contest the interfer-
enee of our officers in their operations,
which latter fact one of the number had
occasion 10 demonstrate in an affair on
Princess street last evening, described in
another item. We warn all persons to be
on their guard against these desperadoes
and urge upon our city authorities, especi-
ally our worthy Mayor, the necessity of
prompt and severe measures to check the
evil and protect our citizens from this
fendish system of man stealing. ~

A Canadian Paper on the Mr. LineOIn's
H.. Terms 0f Rsaea

The Toronto Globe of Saturday, closes
long editorial on the Peace negotiations,
as follows
Those who have looked upon the dread
ful civil war now raging in the seeded
States as a means of removing the curse OF
slavery from this continent, will rejoice TO
ind Mr.. Lincoln making 'the abandon
ment of slavery" equally with the restora-
tlon of the whole Union an indispensable
part of "any proposition" for the termina-
tion of the war If he had asked only the
restoration Of the Union, we should have
it to say that the terrible lesson of the re-
bellion had been wasted upon him, and
that with all his experience, he was still
willing to make terms with the Hrelic of
barbarism0 which has proved so dreadful
a curse to his country. But tits otherwise.
Upon the eve of an election at which he
Is candidate-and at time when he is
demanding 100000 more men TO fight the
battles Of the Union-Mr. Lincoln de-
clares, without cireumlocution, that the
abandonment of slavery must be con-
ditiOn in any proposition for the restora-
ton of the Union which the Federal Gov.
ernment can entertain. In taking SO bold
a stand-in declaring that freedom for all
must be the basis Of any reconstruction
of the Union-Mr. Lincoln must feel
confident that the sentiment of the "loyal"
States will srstain him. His noble and
distinct declaration is honorable alike to

The coming Drar1 In New York.

The great city of New York is evident
ly not laboringun any apprehensions
about the draft, if one may judge from the
indifference manifested in volunteering.
But one hundred and thirty-six men were
recruited in the city duringthe past week,
and oyer 500 men a day must be raised un-
til the 5th of September if draft in New
York is to be avoided. -.,,... --
Realizing these facts. the World says;
But something should be done to. raise a
reasonable number of men by the 9TH of
September. Its far better for poor men
to volunteer and getthe bounty than to be
drafted and only get soldiers pay.

Important Decision by the Provost
Marshal General

CONCORD, n. H, July Goth, 1864.
The following important decision has
recently been promulgated by the Provost
Marshal General
Men furnished under the call of July
18th, whether enlisted for one two or three
years-as well as all excess, or deficiency
of three years men on calls heretofore made
will count as men for man; the eouali-
cation of the amount ofmilitary service
rendered by the different States, and parts
of States, will be effected hereafter.
According to this despatch the quota of
a sub-district being filed with twelve
months men, answers its quota under the
call for five hundred thousand. Govern
ment is bound TO have half million of
men and accordingly credits towns man
fer man, no matter what the term for
which he enlists.

Proposed Reduction Of Army Rnfions
after August 18th.

For a very good reason, the Sanitary
Commission will send no more rations. to
the army, the Government having suffi-
cient supply on hand to hold out until the
end Of the month. After the first of Au-
gust, however, the Commissaries will no
longer issue ration of fresh vegetables to
the soldiers; and, by an order Of the War
Department, a very general reduction of
the entire schedule of rations is to take
place from that date. The amonnt thus
ar issued during the war has been proved
from actual experience to have been ex-
trayagantly large-far larger than the
men could consume. Now the soldiers. in
lieu Of the curtailed rations, are to receive
SIC per month, instead of S13 as hereto
fore. The items of potatoes, molasses and.
optionally, rice or beans, are to be alto
gether cut off, and the ration of Aour or
bread is to be reduced from % to Is or.
