such rivers, no such mountains, and. we
might almost say, no such men. We are

the stitching machine. Add 10 this

him who uttered it 10 ridicule. But the
fact has been realized. These are but
samples Of the lnalchless success OF the
Americans in matters ol mechanism; they
are but the beginning Of marvels.

The mail steamer John Brooks, Captain
Beadel, arrived, this morning, from City
Point, with mails and passengers.
Among the latter were several hundred
men from NortOn's belonging to several
regiments of the Nineteenth corps.
She reports that at last accounts all was
quiet in front of Warren, who holds an i'm
pregnable position on the railroad; but the
enemy are elaborately entrenching them
selves in his front as if believing that the
advance in that direction was intended 10
go beyond the Weldon road.
They are much puzzled to recover the
road by which almost all their troops and
supplies have been received from the
South,
The indications are that the rebels will
receive another astonisher very shortly.
Twenty-six deserters, who came over to
our lines on Tuesday, were brought up on
the breastworks. They took the oath as
soon as they reached our lines, and ex-
pressed themselves as highly gratiGed with
the change.
They tell the same story as to the dissat-
isfaction of the Confederate soldiers, and
repeated the assertion that desertiOns
would be mach more numerous II
it were not that the men are made
to believe they viii be put in our army as
soon as they reach our lines.
The evening before the Brooks left,
Tuesday, $50 more prisoners were brought
to City Point, who we're captured on the
Weldon Railroad.
The Commissioner Of Indian affairs to-
day, received dispatch from Governor
Evans of Colorado Territory, stating that
the Ute, one of the most powerful and
warliks tribes in the far West, have declar.
ed in favor of the whites, and refused to
join in the Indian war, except to ssist
the Govt in its suppression. The tribe
numbers about 1000 warriors, and it is
greatly feared by the neighboring bands
Between three and four hundred wound
ed, belonging to the 9th Corps arrived a
Alexandria this evening, from City Point
Most ofthem were wounded seriously.
Thirty-eight rebel deserters took tn,
oath Of allegiance and were sent North
Quite a number are enlisting in our army
No further particulars from the raid b.

The demand for surrender was mad,
three times by Mosby, each demand be

The demand was obstinately refused

False Teeth and the Draft.

%NGH ANAAA-1 @ttOSAtA15 ~AeA5eSh SO
To the Editor Of the Net1 York Times;
Are men who wear false or artificial
teeth exempt from the draft under ply
steal disahility2 By furnishing the above
information you will coEfer favor on a
reader and few who were debating that
point. w. S.
The foregoing question is one for the
dec sion of the surgeon entlrely-who
would decide it upon the extent Of the
disability. We presume ifa man depends
entirely upon false teeth, be would be ex-
empted the same as he who depends on a
wooden leg. If he has lost but few
teeth, and replaces them by false so that
his mastieation would not be interfered
with provided he did not use false teeth,
he might still be held liable, and put into
the artilleryl-EditoT Times.
