How TO COOK EGGs IN THE SHELL.-A cor
respondent of the .4gricuiturisf writes: "One
way to cook eggs is to drop them into boiling
water, and let remain there three minutes
the water all the time boiling. This hardens
the white next the shell to almost leathery
teughness, while within it is still uncooked.
Another and preferable mode is, to pour boil
ing water upon the eggs; let them stand in
this minutes; pour off this and add more
boiling water and Immediately bring them to
the table in the pdfer. Those taken out at
once will be somewhat cooked through and
those left in five m nufes will be sshard boiled -
or nearly so, and thus the taste of every one
may DO suited and no toughncss Of the whites
be Observed"

Correspondence Of the New York Tr.bunal
FORTRESS MONROE, August u For a week
past it has been well understood here that the
Army of the Potomac was on the eve Of an i'm
portant movement, though concerning its real
character there was nothing beyond conisc ture.
The numberless suggestions, however, all con-
CURED in one thing, and that is, that General
Mcclellan had come to the conclusion that, with
reference to his new base, the thing most TO be
desired, and yet the most difficult to do, was to
get away from it, and that he was going to set
accordingly That precisely this he is with
great caution doing is believed to be a fact; and
there is no longer any motive for Disgusting it
from the public.


For the last forty y-eight hours transports laden
heavily with troops are coming down the James
river and, without stopping here, have gone
directly up the bay to one Of the rivers leading
into Virgitia Yesterday the great body of the
army had orders to be ready to move from Har-
nsou's landing with SIX days ratioRs. As they
will not cross TO the opposite side of James, ne
get some idea of the real designs of the motions
recently made in that direction. II, as is said,
the rebels were induced to march a large force
out of Richmond toward Petersburg, TO meet tho
expected advent Of Gen. MeClenans force IN
that direction, presume the only purpose he
had in crossing to The opposite side CT Harri-
sons landing was achieved.


IF that was a feiot what is the reality If
the rebels expected eur army to appear on the
right bank Of the James, they have been dissp-
pointed for it has gone in another direction.
Where Before this goes 70 the type settlers

written with tragic characters in blood TAat
the pontoon bridges which went up the river
yesterday, accompanied by very small force
Of engineers and sappers and miners, are de-
signed for the Chiokahominy, IS not wholly a
matter Of conjecture.


This being SO, the inference-nos only from
this, but from a variety Of other circumstances
and faets-is that the great body Of the army Of
the Potomac Is about to withdraw down the Pc
ninsula while the remainder re-embarks on
transports aud proceeds down the river That

Rrustrafion OF Attempts 90 EYEde she Aef.


The Baltimore Americaa Of Saturday, says:
| On Thursday evening about the time Of start
ing of the seven o'clock train for Philadelphia,


the President street depot was thrOnged with


women and children, who had gone thither to
bid sdieu to their husbands; brothers and
friends; who were leaving this city in antieipa-
ton of being drafted to serve 10 the Federal
army. In all, there were over two hundred men,


of whom nearly all were Of Irish descent In


formation was transmitted to Philadelphia by


telegraph Of the fight Of these parties, who, on


the arrival of the train in that city, were, it is


learned, roughly handled by an excited crowd
that had gathered to receive them as traitors.
Sixteen of the number were 30 badly beaten as
to render it necessary to carry them to the
respective stations TO have their wounds dressed.
A large number of Germans have, within few
weeks past, also left this city in vessels for Ger
many some of them offering two or three times
the usual amount of passage money in order to
get off in time


OF those who wentto Philadelphia on Thurs
day, large number, after receiving the atten-
tons referred to, were again placed in the cars
and obliged to return to this city their faces be-
ing considerably bruised a large number en-
deavored to get eff last evening in the seven
o'clock train for Philadelphia, the depot present
ing as crowded an appearance as on the previous
evening. The publication in the papers Of the
orders issued by Secretary Stanton increased the
desire to escape from the city. Deputy Marshal
Lyons, however had large force OF police, with
the detective officers, at the depot, and sue
ceeded in stopping near one hundred Of those
trying to get away. They were placed in a
large car in the depot building, where, notwith-
standing the intense heat, they were obliged to
remain until tho train left for Philadelphia, when
they were released, with the promise that if the
attempt was renewed they would most assuredly
be sent to Fort McHenry. As usual in such
gatherings, there were many lUdierouS exhibit
tions of fright and passion on the part Of such as
were prevented from leaving the city in which
hitherto they had gained their livelihood.


Large numbers of male citizens have already
departed, many of whom are now in Canada
Many have already engaged passage in steamers
for Europe; and there is no doubt but that a still
greater number have the most earnest desire TO
leave, in order 10 escape enrolment, but the or
der of the Secretary ofWar has disappointed their
expectations, and great ehagrin and morti6cc-
tion were apparent in the resort of the disunion-
lists.


Yesterday morning, previous to the departure
of the river steamers all the passengers were
either required to take the oath Of allegiance to
the government or else remain behind. Several
who had made arrangements for leaving in
them, retired after seeing the order vigorously
enforced.

The admission of the Yankee General Prince
into the Exchange Hotel, upon his arrival, on
Monday morning, was not owing to any intend
ed leniency, as the fact itself would seem to in
dicate. On the contrary, it was managed alto
gether by the general himself, whose impudence
and duplicity enabled him to come it over "
the guard who accompanied him to the extent
designed; but his blissiul situation was not per-
mitted to last loog. 1t seems that upon his ar
rival he requested to be permitted to proceed on
np to Gen. Winder's Office, alone with the guard,
as he was too sick to wait for the remaining
prisoners This was granted, and, upon reach
ing the Exchange, ne asked to be allowed to en-
ter for the purpose of washing his face. This
was also granted, the guard keeping him com
psny. But instead OF becoming refreshed by
sblution, he grew violently weary, and was per-
mitted TO take a ROOM the guard still remaining
in charge of hin. This was all be desired, feel
ing quite sure that his presence would not be
called for until it was convenient for him to get
up. But he was mistaken. Not long after he
had settled himself into a comfortable snOoze,
he WAS awakened by the entrance of the com
msnding officer of the guard, who politely IN
formed him that his duty was to deliver him to
General Winder, and not to the luxurious couch
which he had been pTesUmptUous enough 70

must have been very weak not to be able to
withstand what three hundred of his followers
could without q murmur-Was ousted from
his rest, taken before General Win6er and then

STORM IN New ORLEANs-The New Or
leans National EatelIigencer of the 3Oth ult.,
says: The Picayuns of yesterday evening
saves US the trouble Of relating in our own
words the account of Mondays storm, as fol-
lowe,


The storm yesterday was, for time, grand,
gloomy and peculiar" From all that we can
learn in relation thereto, we are inclined to sup
pose that the city was never more thoroughly
overAowed from the effects Of single shower.
All the principal streets, especially in the rear
of the city, could easily have been navigated by
skiffs and even by small sized steamboats,.
Wooden bridges were swept away in every di-
rection, and it will take some time to have them
repaired When the storm was at its hight,
the thunder and lightning were very violent. A
three story house on Bienville street, between
Bourbon and Dauphin streets, was struck by the
subtle fluid, knocking out several bricks, and
splitting the front and end walls. No person in
the house was injured. A tree at the corner Of
Delor street and Tivoli circle was also struck
and shivered into fragments but to the people
aud houses quite near the tree no damage was
DONE The action of the storm was altogether
eccentric.


Yesterday, again, we were visited by heavy
rain, and at the time we write there IS every
prospect for a wet night.

ANcER.-The common doctrine is
that it is wrong to get angry. The pa
rent says, "You must not get angry,
my child" But he does get angry and
the parent Furnishes him for getting an


CRY, when he would have broken di-
vine injunction il he had not got angry.
For it is a command of God, as plain
as the Ten Commandments. "Be angry


and sin not" The parents busines


was TO teach the child how be angry
without sinring; but instead Of doing
that, he whipped the child for being
angry, when it would have violated q
law of God if it had not, been angry
1t was the parent that ought to have
been whipped and not the child. A
child's anger is witness of Gods law
about that thing; and you ought to
train your children accordingly. If a
child, seeing large child misuse 6
smaller one, throws himself between


them, and with blows repels the injus


tice, is he to be censured? Is his alb


horance oftyraBny and nieanncss to be
counted wrong, on the supposton
tha. it is contrary to the spirit of the
Gospel? Then there is no justice in
The eternal Throne, not in nature
Then Gods voice in the human soul is
false witness. Is it not go. But a
child that gets angry because its self


ishness is crossed, ought to be whipped.
A child that does not get angry when
it is tempted to lie, ought TO be whip
ped. And our business is to train our
chill dren to know how to use their ar.

With what will now be considered a

ed there was any danger, or desired a

In conclusion, and that time may test
the soundness or falacy of our views -
we now admonish our friends and read
ers to beware Of counsels which teach
that the object of this war is to destroy
slavery. We maintain that its object
is to preserve tho government and the

to extend slavery. But the effect, il
the war be wisely conducted, will be

madness precedes destruction. And

If the enemy makes q demonstration

 Dear Sir: have considered the subject spoken of this morning at our interview.

 The idea of plantation in the south associates with it a considerable negro force, negro quarter and an overseer or an owner who acts as Overseer. No one would call d farm cultivated by one or five negroes plantation, while all would call one cultivated by forty or fifty, plantation. The difficulty is in saying where the dividing line lies There being certain and definite rule, 1t seems that the Confederate authorities, must of necessity, fix one in order to carry out the recent act of Congress in relation to conscripts.

 1 have just witnessed an economical and gratify ing experiment in the washing line of business and am anxious that yonr lady readers should be made immediately acquainted with it. It is this With quantity of Buckeye root washed and sliced, a tub full of hot water readily and rapidly made into |" suds." ln this mixture number of various colored woolen garments were speedily washed free of all dirt and stain, without the least perceptible injury to any of the textures On the contrary, the washing had the effect of fixing and brighten ing all the colors. Even those prints that fade in water alone, were left intact and beautiful as new. The mixture was allowed t. become luke warm before mmersing the clothes, and two tubs fall were used in the process carrying the articles washed from one into the other.
