Artificial leather is made in Belgium

Artificial leather is made in Belgium by the
fol owing process A certain quantity OF
gum, ss caoutchouc or gutta pereha, cut into
small pieces, is softened by subsection to a
strong heat; then eighty or ninety parts of
3 raps Of hide or leather Of any sort are added.
Hair of any kind and shreds of woollen cloths
may be added, and intimately mixed with the
other substances by an apparatus heated for
that purpose. If the artificial leather is
wanted hard, sulphur is introduced while the
substances are mixing, in order to vulcanize
the gum. The thick paste thus obtained is
pressed into sheets, while warm, and after
wards rolled to the required thickness.

that on Tuesday evening he held private

the advice and consent of JEFF Davis had
remained behind to see what could be
done in behalf of his desponding sssoci-
ates. 1t is sSo understood that Wednes-
day last was fixed for another interview,
at which General Weitzel and others on

Hancock on the War Path.

Danger mensces the fallen and flying
traitors from q new quarter. Not only
does Grant hang on their Asnk and rear
with the grim persistence of q bull dog
not only does Phil. Sheridan intercept
their fight and turn back their columns
with immense loss; not emily does Sherman
again lead out to fresh triumphs those glo-
rious boys of bis, tireless in march and ir-
resistible in battle; not only does Stone
man come laundering up through the
Tennessee mountains to seal up the gaps
through which the rebel horde might fee
westward; not only does Candy gather his
fine army to subdue the last seaport
of the rebellion but Hancock, the preur
eheUaLisr of our service, at the head of the
infantry of the Shenandoah, is on the war
psth. He is r. ported as rapidly pushing
ap the valley towards StauntOn. The OBJ
jsct of this movement is probably the oc-
eupation ofLVnchturg, OF, ct any rate, the
garrisoning of the gaps of the Blue Ridge
to prevent the army Of Lee, should it eyer
escape Phil. Sheridan, from breaking
through into the Shenandoah valley and
imitsting Stonewsn Jsckson's famous raidE.
However this may be, let us be sure that
the advance of Hancock meals mischief to
rebels, and indicates as clearly as past
events heve done, the commanding and
directing intellect of the great Lieutenant
General.

The steamship Chins, from Liverpool

Her sdvices are three days later.
In the House Of Lords Russell laid on
the table 8 notification from Mr.. Adams, of
the intention of the American Govern
ment to terminate the Reciprocity Treaty
and Convention relating to armed force on
on the lakes. Said treaty would terminate
twelve months from the day the receipt of
of the notice was acknowledged. He ad-
mitted that the acts committed on the lakes
fully justified the American Government
in the steps taken with regard to the re.
ciprocity. He trusted it might be renewed
with certain notifications and that ar
rsngement be made for q limited arma-
ment for Police service on the lakes. He
trusted the present pacific relations be-
tween the Governments might continue.
and trusted that nothing would be done in
England to interrupt them. He, however.
said speeches had been made in the House
of Commons calculated to excite an un-
favorable feeling in America, and con-
cluded by declaring that England had not
acted wrongiuly In any way towards
America, and reitersting his hopes for con-
tinued peace. He said sir Bruce, the new
Minister, would sail on Saturday, and he
| believed the dignity and honor of the
country would be safe in his hands.
In the House Of Commons, the MARQUIS
of Harrington moved vote for the iortih-
cations, including $4,000 as part Of the
f2,0OO,0OO required for Quebec. A long
debate ensued. Harrington explained that
the total estimate for the Quebec fortiAcs-
tions was f2,O00,000. It was necessary
now the United States had become 8 great
military power to place Canada in q state
of defence, although the government had
not the slightest expectation that the Uni
ted States contemplated an attack.
Rentinck objected to the government
scheme, and moved the omission of the
| item for Quebec from the estimate.
The merits OF the question were debated
by General Peel, Aderly, Disraeli, Laird,
Bury, Csrtwen and others, who supported
the vote. Bright and Lowe were the
principal speakers against the measure.
Pslmerston denied that there was any
danger Of a war with America; the rels-
tions were friendly. The government sim

HID. QRs: 9TH ARMY CORPS,
Maj. Gen. Webb, Chief Of Stat, ATmy Of
the Potomac:
In pursuance of instructions received
this morning from Msj. Gen. Meade, I
moved from Petersburg by the shortest
practicable road to the left Of Deatonville,
with the object of there taking position on
the left Of tie I'd Corps, striking the road
from Destonville to Burks' Station, st
point q little to the south of the former
place. found that the I'd Corps was en-
gagged to the frgnt and right, and cavalry
heavily to my left. Going down the road
towards Burks Station, perhaps 8 mile,
sndrunning sharply to therighi, proceeded
on which the enemy was moving and along
which he had thrown up line Of entrench-
ments. As soon as the leading division OF
General Seymour could be formed, 1t was
moved on the road held by the enemy,
which was carried. Then turning to the
left it was advanced down the road, against
pretty strong resistance. By this time
Wheaton's division had got in position as
rapidly as possible on Seymour's left, when
the lines were again advanced, and were
swept down the road for distance o. about
tw9 miles. Arriving at q deep and diff
cult creek, we found the enemy had re-
formed his line on the opposite side, where
weattacked and drove him to q point dis
lance of half mile further. In the first at
tack a portion of cavalry operated on our
right flank. In its subsequent attack 8
mass of cavalry operated on our left and
right flank of the enemy. The result has
been 8 complete suec, IS. The combined
forces captured five general officers. Among
them are Generals EWell, Curtis and Lee,
and a large number of other prisoners. l
shsll go in camp about two miles beyond
this point, and await Instructions The
LIST and Sd divisions of Wheaton and Sey-
mour, and the artillery engaged to day,
behaved splendidly. A report of casual
ties will be forwarded IS soon as possible.
The corps has nobly sustained the reputa-
sion it earned on the I'd inst, as well as
upon previous hard fought bsttle-felds.

The Commercials army of the Potomac
special says: General Hsncocks column
is in motion up the Shenandoah Valley,
toward Lynchburg. Should Lee manage
to survive Grants blows in front, Hancock
will strike bis rear. The same paper says
that this is the movement it referred to
several days since. After repeated delays
it has at last started. The troops are Of

ApR1rAL FROM RICHMOND.

Colburn, of the New York World, AZ
rived here this evening, thirty-six hours
from Richmond. He gives the following
estimate of the condition and situation of
our armies. The conhsgration is more ex-
tensive than before reported. he estims-
ted that nearly one thousand buildings
were destroyed, including the principal
mills, factories, arsenal, banks, newspaper
offices, government store houses, and the
War Department building. Three bridges
over the James river and one unfinished
ram were also destroyed.
VARIOUS ITEMS.
Judge Campbell rendered his services 70
Mr.. Lincoln to visit Davis and urge him
to peace. The President said he would re-
eeive communications but would send
none.
It is reported that Mrs. JEFF. Davis left
for Galveston on Wednesday.
Strong evidences show that the rebel gov
ernment is laying hold of all coin under
the late act of Congress- and it is being car
ried off with the government archives
Three millions of dollars was taken out Of
the city last week; its first destination was
Charlotte, North Carolins.
& Richmond was in a state of famine. The
provisions were mainly Consumed. The
population was nearly all there, very few
having left.
Breckinridge superintended the destruc-
ton of the city and directed the firing Of
the buildings.
A great number of original lecessionists
are ready to take the oath. They sEeready
for unconditional submission.
The Richmond Wing appears as Union
paper, under the former proprietor.
The attempt to organize and arm the
negroes was the most laughable and ridi-
culous failure of the war, and it is decided
by the rebels themselves that never more
than 300 were organized.
The news at City Point when Mr.. Col
burne lef! was adispsteh from Grant, that
a portion OF Lees body guard had been
captured near Psinesville. This probably
oeessioned the rrport of the capture of Lee.
It is confidently believed that Lee cannot
cross the Appomsttox, nor can Johnston
Join him. Our forces are between the
two.
Lees officers remain firm. The soldiers
are deserting in large numbers, and the
army is fast dissolving. The rebels in
Richmond said it would soon fall TO
pieces if closely followed by Grant. We
have captured 500 cannon but very little
ammunition. There are 1000 wounded
rebels in Richmond.
General Shepley has been relieved of his
command as Military Governor. General
Weiizel is Military Governor till his sue
cessor is appointed.
Nearly all the tobacco in Richmond was
burned. About 300 hhds were burned
there and thousands in Petersburg.
We captured transports and two tugs.
Three armed vessels we're destroyed.

To Lieutenant General Grant,
At daylight this morning moved the
I'd, 9Th and 9Th army corps along the Rail-
road Ia the direction of Amelia Court
House. Soon after moving, reliable intel
hgence was received that the enemy was
moving toward Farmville. The direction
Of the I'd and 9Th corps was Immediately
changed from q northerly to northwest
erly direction, and directing the corps, the
I'd moving on Deatonville, and the 9TH
CORDS, heretofore in the centre, moved on
the left of the I'd and 9Th, facing about and
moving by the left flank, taking position
on the left of the I'd. 1t was understood
the cavalry would operate on the extreme
left,
Changes were promptly made, the I'd
corps soon becoming engaged with the
enemy near Destonville, driving him by
the right flank across Sailors Greek to the
Appomsttox. The 9th army corps made
a long march, but its position prevented
its striking the enemys column before it
had passed. The Sixth corps came up with
the enemy about P. NJ, and, in coDjunc-
ton with the I'd corps on the right and
the cavalry on the left, attacked and rout-
ed the enemy, capturing many prisoners,
among them Lieutenant General Ewell
and General Curtis Lee.
transmit dispatches both from Generals
Humphrey and Wright which, in justice
to these distinguished officers and the gal
liant corps they command, beg may be
sent to the War Department for immediate
publication.
It impossible at this moment to give
any estimate of the casualties on either
side, or of the number of prisoners taken,
but it is evident that the work is going to
be one of the most important of the recent
brilliant operations.
Pursuit will be continued as soon as the
men have had little rest. Griffin, with
the 9th corps, will be moved by the left
flank, and Wright and Humphrey will
continue in direct pursuit as long as it
promises success.

The reports Of Generals Meade, Wright

The reports Of Generals Meade, Wright
and Humphreys, published this morning,
give complete details of the battle of Thurs
day, and do not lessen its glory. Ths
scene ofthe fight was on the south bank Of
the Appomattox, 8 little west of north,
from Burksville, and about ten miles from
that place. Il has resulted in placing the
commands of Sheridan and Meade in such
position that they can almost certainly
prevent Lee from retreating either upon
Danville or Lynehburg.

Hangmsn Foote has got into q ridicu-
lous posture again. Worse than that, he
has got into jail. For purposes best known
to himself, he tried TO sneak into the
country as a steerage passenger in the
steamer Etns, but was discovered, and
lodged in jail, In accordance with Secre-
tsry Stewards passport order. Foote is 8
traitor and should be dealt with as such.
His snesking desertion of his cause, simply
because it is growing weak, is pitiful and
contemplate. His crime only differs from
that of Davis and Hunter in being less
manly.
