A correspondent: Of the New. York Evening
Post, writing from ElmIrs, under date OF
August W, says:D ,q,I. 49,. o..
The prisoners wear all sorts of dresses with
which they were furnished in the rebel army,
have been able 70 obtain since they reached
our lines, or are daily receiving from their
friends here. They are generally dirty.look-
ing persons; some Of them bathe In the river,
whittier they are marched at evening by their
guards but the appearance Of the mon, as q
body, docs not indicate that large proportion
Of them accept this privilege. Some Of the
rebels go barefooted, and others bsrehesded;
many have not, apparently, the slightest re-
gard for their personal appearance; yet this is
by no means the rulej for rich rebels, or those
who have wealthy aequaintances or friends
here, are able not only to live sumptuously,
but to dress with taste, and even elegance.
THE FRIENDS OF THE PRIsoSERs. ...
The fact that a iarge number ofletters are
daily written to these rebels may be considered
evidence that they have friends; but the best
proofs of substantial good will are the presents
received In camp. There are daily consider
able quantity-often a. wagon load; and the
presents come by express from all parts OF the
State, but particularly from New York city.
One man living there-a clothier, who Is sup
posed TO be an agent Of many rebels--has sent
large amount Of clothing on, various occa-
sions; and 1t Is supposed he mas dressed up
not far from a hundred prisoners. 1t is re-
marked that some Of the clothing sent to the
camp is of the finest material; the under gar
ments are beautifully made, and as costly aa
any in the city markets; and all Of the "Con'
federate gray" Rebels who cannot get cloth.
ing are furnished gratuitously by the authorl'
ties with the blue Government uniformj but II
is not considered reputable to wear II, and II
10 said that any man In Union blue is for the
time arbitrarily excluded from the best seces
sion society.
The rebels frequently ask the officers for tht
names Of persons to whom they may write, ant
some Of these officers who are wags have re
Gently acted In this wise; A rebel asks for
name, the officer gives him the address, as wa
done In a number Of instances, Of noted men o
Elmira another rebel asks for a name, and re
celves the same that was given to the first rebel
and so on during the day, the officer continuing
the name with which he began. Every rebe
retires to his tent, and, If he can get paper
writes a letter. Thus the proprietor Of tn
largest hotel in Elmira received begging note
, from about thirty rebels. The joke Is consid
cred good one by the officers; the receiver Q
the letters is not inclined to regard 1t In thu
light. Each and every one Of the rebels acte
in most sober and solemn earnestness. Thi
experiment has several times been repeate
with similar results.

MURDERoUs REBEL MIssnB.-A young
man named Kinney, formerly a Trojan, but
recently belonging to Western regiment,
reached this city yesterday He served for a
long time under General Sherman, and was
wounded at the battle of Altoona. The cir
cumstances after ding his injuries are such as
we do not recolect to have seen recorded
during the war. Young Kinney was shot in
the lower part Of the leg by bullet-apparent-
ly an ordinary rife ball. 1t lodged In the limb,
but did not prevent his walking TO the rear.
He had Just seated himself in an ambulance,
half an hour after being hit, when the bullet
exploded In his leg--shatterlng the limb terri
bly,, making four distinct openings and carry
ing away quantity of bone. Despite the Sc
we're shock, the young hero travelled to his
home in Troy, and Ia now under the care of one
of our surgeons, with q chance of recovery.
He is as patriotic as he Is brave. "saye my
limb, Doctor" he said, :" for Gods sake;
want TO get back and join my regiment. But
II I've got to lose both legs for my country,
why, it's all right" The use of missiles that
explode half an hour after lodgment In any
part OF the body is an English novelty, prac
ticed only by the rebels. II Is the last rehue-
ment Of /" the barbarism of war;" and Is a III

A New PAPER MAKING PRoCEss.-The Bos-
ton Transcript, of yesterday, says " We un-
derstand that gentleman of this city who has
already successfully introduced many improve
ments In the manufacture of ibrous and felted
goods, has patented process for making paper
stock from fax, wool, or other ibrous mate
rlals, by which It is claimed that one half the
chemicals now used will be saved, and that
good stock may be made for less than six cents
per pound. Paper-makers will understand the
Importance of the saving in chemicals, which
is one of the heaviest items of expenditure in
making paper stock. AS yet nothing has beon
done TO put the new process Into practical
operation, or even to test Its merits, the time
and attention of the inventor being absorbed
by his other extensive business operations.
But the attention Of printers, aper-makeFs and
capitalists cannot fail to be drawn to any i'm
proved process which holds ont a hope OF
again supplying cheap paper, aud 1t Is possible
that we may soon see a revolution in paper
manufacture"

Between ten and eleven O'Clock on Tuesday
night an accident occurred on the Erie Rail-
way, west Of sloetsburg, near Augusta bridge,
resulting in the death of seven men. The fol-
lowing are the facts The emlgtant train left
Jersey City at fifteen minutes past eight p. m,
and upon arriving near Augusta bridge, about
forty miles out, had slackened speed to about
twelve miles an hour, being near the point at
which the milk train passes. Following was
an extra freight train, which must have been
running at fast speed, as 1t overlook and ran
into the emigrant train. The conclusion was
so great that the platforms were crushed, In
Btantly killing six emigrants who were ridin g
On the platforms; but no person inside was
seriously injured The conductor, Matthew
Finn, who was In the rear car, saw the head
| light Of the approaching train, and, running
out on the platform, was also killed. Two of
the emigrant cars dumped the track" and,
in less than half a minute after, came down
and ran into the freight cars, demolishing one
of them and damaging the engine. The acci-
dent caused delay Of several hours before the
track was cleared.

The Atalanta beat the mail from Dover TO

understood that she was built originally for
the China trade. Her furnaces burn from forty
10 ffty tons ofcoal per day. She has run tn o
