various offences, and six hundred and
twenty enlisted men.

taken precautions to have the work of
raising the sunken vessels at Norfolk

the offer must be accompanied by the
guarantees of responsible parties, that

MAPLE SUeAR.-Mr A. d. Smith, of
Dandy, presented us yesterday with
some delicious specimens of Maple Syr-
up and Sugar, which he has recently
made. He tapped few trees last Fri
day morning, and he states that on that
and the following day the sap ran as
well as he ever knew it. We had before
heard of this most delicious of all sacch-
arine substances, but now our eyes have
seen, our hands have handled, and our
gustatory organs have luxuriated upon
the sweets that were in the maple trees
of Dandy less than week ago. We

MR.: oonBRIDGE's SPEECH ON Con-
fIscATfoN.-A correspondent of the Bur-
lington Times thus writes of Mr.. Wood
BRIDGES effort on Tuesday last: a1
z "Mr. Woodbridge made his maiden
speech in the House of Representatives
Yesterday, and it was marked and
most flattering success. No speech of
the session has been listened to with
such earnest attention on both the De-
mocratic and Republican sides of the
House. You know that when hour
speeches are being made in the House
the members are usually reading, writ
ing, talking, walking about, &C., espe-
cially on the opposite side. Before Mr..
Woodbridge was half through the Cop
perheads were still and attentively lis
tening, and the Republicans and promi-
nent members who did not sit near him
left their seats and change: changed or stood up
to get nearer so as to better hear the
speaker. When he closed, with one of
the most brilliant perorations / ever
heard, defending New England from the
foul aspersions of Fernando Wood, all
Of the leading Republicans and many
others crowded around him and warmly
congratulated him on his eloquent and
unanswerable defence of confscation,
and of the true men of New England
and the country"

Losses and Successes ON the Rapi.
dan.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 8.
The Star of this evening has the fol-
lowing;
Parties coming from the front repre-
sent that we experienced considerable
loss on the return of our troops from
the late demonstration. 1t is stated
that some Of our pontoons were lost at
Rapidan, whereby the enemy was ena-
bled to pick up some of our men, who
had not recrossed. 1t is also stated that
a rebel cavalry force crossing above
Mortons Ford, intercepted couple of
our regiments, who were forced to cut
their way through, with some loss.
These reports, il should be added, are
not at all definite, and have not, up to
noon to-day been confirmed by anything
received at the War Department later.
Parties arriving from the front this
forenoon state that when our troops
pushed across at Germania Ford they
found the rebel rife pits in that imme-
date vicinity occupied by but twenty
five pickets, who threw down their arms
and surrendered stating that there was
no rebel force within ten miles of their
position. Immediately thereafter our
forces pushed ahead in the direction of
Orange Court House, but had hardly
progressed two miles before they were
opened upon, and attacking the rebel
force working and supporting these
guns, we drove them from their position
with considerable loss in killed, wound
ed and prisoners, our loss in the affair
being thirty-five. The mass of our in
tantry then re-crossed the Rapidan, leav-
ing force to hold the rifle pits first Ia
ken, until the operations of our cavalry,
that had moved by different route, had
terminated.
Heavy firing is said to have bsen
heard yesterday. and it was believed
about Culpepper that our cavalry was
then engaged with the enemy it had been
seeking.

AN ECLIPSE OF THE New MooN.-We
happened to hear young gentleman
say that he saw the moon eclipsed night
before last and perhaps we shall per-
form a service to several of this class
by stating that an eclipse of the moon
can never happen except at the time Of
Full Moon. The sun and moon are then
on opposite sides of the earth, and the
eclipse is occasioned by the earth inter
yening and obstructing the suns light.
An eclipse of the sun can never happen
except at the time of New Moon, for
then the moon sometimes passes directly
between the sun and earth.

An INGENIOUS INVENTION -MeSsrs D.
A. Wilson and @. s. Kinsley, of Cam
bridge, in this State, have ON exhibition
at the Bardwell House, what they claim
to be an illustration of perpetual mo-
ton. 1t consists of wheel, seven
inches in diameter, to which are attach
ed twelve arms, at right angles, and to
each arm bail weighing half an ounce.
These arms are all connected by twenty
four cords, two to each arm, and are SO
arranged that the falling of one ball af-
fects the other immediately behind it,
and so on apparently till the machine is
worn out. 1t is the opinion of mechan-
ical gentlemen who have examined it,
that the principle can be made to work.

dent of South Troy, Orleans County,

however proceeded to give his lecture on

According to Professor Denton the
classes are the Hyperborean, the Mongo-

American and the Malasian. He is of

from one pair, and that the time will
come when there will be but one race
