NEW YoRK, May le.-Bermuda advices
of the 26th ult. contain a report of the pre-
liminary examination OF the plot to intro
duce yellow fever into our Northern cities.
That the examination has resulted In the
committal ofa resident of the Island named
Swan, on the charge of having conspired
with one DIR. Blackburn to take charge of
certain trunks containing infected clothing,
for the purpose of having them forwarded
to New York, Philadelphia and other cities,
with the object of their introducing yellow
fever. Blackburn, whose hailing points
were Halifax. Quebec, Clifton House, Mag

piled freely from the Confederate exche-,

was to return to Halifax aid watch the
progress OF events until the opening of

more favorable to the spread of the import

CIRcLEYILLE, Feb. 18th, 1865,

- ClRCLEVuLE, rep. l6tn, 1850.
The Warm Air Furnace invented and
manufactured by Mr.. Peter Martin, of Gin
cinnati, was put into. the Union school
building Of this city in November last, and
thus far it has given entire satisfaction. 1t
surpasses other furnaces in the following
important particulars: 1t has, compare
lively, greater heating surface; produces
larger volume of heat with given amount
of fuel; the condition of the air in respect
to temperature, moisture and purity, is SUI
perior; the admission of cold air, the sup
ply of warm air for the several rooms, and
the fires, are more easily regulated. ...
To avoid scorching and decomposing the
air, as is done, TO some extent, by other hot
air furnaces. and to secure to each room an
abundant supply Of pure, fresh air, warmed
to apleasant temperature, as well as to pro-
tect the wrought-iron air-fues from
the effects Of the fire, it is essential that
thewarm air-fiues leading TO the school
rooms, should be at least twelve
inches in diameter. This will insure the
influx of such large and rapid current OF
fresh air as to prevent the wrought-iron
tiues from being goverheated, and thus secure
thsl durability of the furnace, and keep the
warm air in healthful condition. 1t is
deemed proper to State in this connection,
that our Board of Education was induced
to order Mr.. Martins Furnace, because two
other furnaces had been previously used in
our school edifice without satisfactory re-
suits, and because, after careful examina-
tiop of large number OF furnaces and
other modes Of warming school houses and
other public editices, not only'in in Western,
but also in Eastern cities. Mr.. Martins was
believed to be decidedly the best.

Gen. Neigerata, with $4,000 Liberal troops,
appeared before Matamoras on the Goth ult,
and demanded its surrender, which was re-
fused. The Imperialists marched out to
meet them, and cavalry and artillery fight
occurred. Business was suspended in Mat
amoras and the streets barricaded, in expec-
tation of an attack, but all was quiet on the
evening Of the I'd. Custom House officers
fled to Brownsville, and. wealthy citizens
moved all valuables to the same place.

Gated. Twice he took and was moving off
, with, the carpet sack of a fellow passenger,

Of him. y Wa} ala g4e gSae.iIsa

Arrival Of Troops at Washing
tOn-A Grand Review.
New York, May 1G.-The Herald's army
correspondence has the following: The sixth
army corps, Maj. Gen. Wright, is still at
Danville. but it is expected that the greater
part of it will shortly return to the North
as soon as order shall have been fully re-
stored i'm that vicinity. Gen. Wright has
appointed number OF magistrates to ad-
minister justice in thesurrounding country,
and is using every exertion, with the best
success, to establish civil for martial rule in
Southern Virginia. The fiocking of people
from the country into the town of Danville
has been stopped by direction of Gen.
Wright, and agricultural operations have
consequently been resumed; the farmers,
however, are much In need of horses, mules
and implements to prosecute their work.
Long trains heavily laden with valuable
property captured by our armies in Vir-
ginia and North Carolina, are daily arriv-
ing at City Point, Va, from Danville via
Burkesville junction. Among the articles
are goods in the original packages in which
they ran the blockade of the national fleets
into Southern ports, and the machinery for
the manufacture of firearms stolen by the
rebels from Harper's Ferry. ~
When the soldiers of the I'd and 5th
corps reached the Potomac they broke out
in wild cheers, and the additional source Of
rejoicing was afforded them Sunday morn
ing by the news of JEFF. Davis capture.
The throng of visitors are constantly
pouring into the army In carriages, on
horseback and on foot, to see the brave men
who have done and suffered SO much to
maintain the nation.
Among the Richmond trophies in the 9TH
corps Is huge Russian bloodhound, which
was kept by one of the Libby prison Jailors
to hunt Union prisoners. . -... -~-N 7
