nounce the capture Of Kalitz' adjutant. -
How near the General came to sharing the
same fate Is told by the correspondent Of

When Kautz was returning to the rear Of
his column, with a few of his staff officers
and ordcrlies, he came upon an entire reb-
ell regiment, at least mile from the road,
when an attack was made. This regiment
had some OF his men prisoners. AT sight
of their General the men called out TO him
to dash back, which he did, and escaped by

ADMIRAL FARRAeUr.-We shall hear
from this glorious old officer soon again,
and this time, we hope, in the quarters
where his services have long been really
needed-we refer to Wilmington, North
Carolina, which has been for eighteen
months the port through which the rebels
have received their supplies from Europe.
There is o fleet of blockade runners hover
ing of our coast, loaded with railroad iron
and rolling stock for the Southern roads.-
The importance Of capturing or beating
them off is very great. Itwould be impos-
sible for the rebels to support great army
anywhere if their railroads were disabled:
and keeping up their roads is matter
about which they confessedly feel intense
anxiety. There is reason to be dissatisfied
with the management Of our blockading
squadron on the coast Of North Caroltna.-
Given Farragut's vigilance and energy on
that station, backed by the best Of his vic
to-ious fieet, and We may depend upon it
the big hole at Wilmington will be stopped.
This would be an achievement more inn
portant than that at Mobile, and blow to
the Southern Confederacy more serious
than the tall Of Atlanta.-Cfr. C0m. Il,

the enlistment of FIVE thousand four hum

Beautiful women.

The Baroness de Stsel confessed that
she would exchange half Of her knowledge
for personal charms, and consider them
chesply bought at that price All women
knew that it is beauty rather than geni-
US which all generations Of men have wor-
shipped in the sex. Can it be wondered
at then, that 90 much Of women's time and
attention should be directed to the means
ofdeveloping snd preserving their beauty?
Women know, too, that when men speak Of
the intellect ofwomen they speak critically,
tRmely and coolly but when they come
to speak of the charms of beautiful wo-
man, both their language snd their eyes
kindle with the glow ofenthUsissm which
shows them TO be profoundly, II not, in
deed, ridiculsusly in earnest. It is part
Of the natural sagsoity Of women TO per-
ceiye all this, and they therefore employ
every allowable Rrt 10 become the goddess
Of that alteration. Preach TO the contra
~ ss we may, against the arts employed
by womsn for enhancing her beauty,
there still stands the eternal fact that the
world does not preferth society Of an
ugly woman Of genius to that Of beauty
Of less intellectual requirements The
world has yet allowed no higher missions
to woman thsn to be beautiful. And it
would seem that the ladies of the present
age are carrying this idea Of the world to
greater extremes than ever, for all women
nov, to whom nature has denied the tails
manic power Of beauty, overcome this de-
feat by the use Of an eRamelling process
called g. Email de Paris" or, in plain En-
glisE, "Psrisian Ensmel," and which has
been lately introduced into this country by
8 French chemist With the assistance Of
this new French trick Of "a lsdy's toilette,
female beauty is destined to play larger
part in the admiration Of man and the
admiration of woman than all the arts
she loved since her creation.-Home Jour
