K. L. Dabncy, l'rofessor in Hampton Sidney College, to a Irioiul in New York, from which we make the following extract : Our seminary now lias only lour students, disabled or I'urloughed soldiers. My duties here are, of course, greatly diminished in interest at the present, and 1 should bo very illcontent. to stay here but for my engagement on e a Life of General Jackson. Having been selected for.this work by .Mrs. J. and Gen. Kvvell, ? his successor, 1 have devoted myself to it for some months, as perhaps the most useful work I could undertake, both to the cause of Christ and our country. I have received from Mrs. ,1 n of course all the documents her husband left, and the authorities have extended the most libera^ facilities to me for making the narrative full and correct. General Jackson's friends and comrades in arms likewise have been exceedingly " kind, and 1 am convinced that I have a mass of materia:] sueli as no other person.has or can have for illustrating his life. I shall complete it in two very modest .volumes. ' The first is already written and about to be published, It will appear in the Confederate Stales and in London nearly at the same time, having been already advertised in the latter place.? My friend, I >r. Scheie do Ycre, of our'University, is preparing a German version. TIow the Mexicans C'akin orx \Van.-\-The following is copied from the correspondence of a French oflicer in high authority in Mexico: ' Wo have just returned to Guadalajara, and I come back filled with disgust, and indignation. What we have just been about was not a military expedition, but a jouruev among i i i i * nuns ituu cuaruai nouses. I no enemy roi?, piljage and burn, but will, not fight. Whenever tlicy p:lss, they steal or destroy what they cannot take with them. They com pel the inhabitants.to enlist in their ranks, and if the unfortunate wretches refuse or hesitate, they execute them. We have met on the shies of the road groups ot men hung or burnt; in some places I have counted as high as thirty, who* had been killed ; even the women and chTdiy.u had not escaped the same fate. On our arrival at an estate near Cuisillos, a dreadful spec taele awaited'us.* Outside the chapel a woman, completely naked, was hanging from the Anil with Iter stomach ripped up to the bosom ; a shapeless mass, covered with blood, was swinging to and fro at her feel ; the tigers had torn the infant from the womb of its mother, to share her punishment; it was hanging from the mother, suspended by the umbilical cord. Peach Leaf Yeast.?Hops cost two dollars per pound,- loaves cost uiothing, and peach leaves make better yeast than hops. Thus: Take three Landfalls of peach leaves and three mcdiutn-si/.cd potatoes, boil them in two quarts of water until the potatoes are' done, .11 . . 1 . tiih.e uui uie icavcs nnu throw thcin away, ]>eel the potatoes, and rub them up with a pint .of flour, adding cool water sufficient to make a paste, then pour on hot peach leaf tea, and scald for about five minutes. If you add to this a little old yeast, it will be ready for use in three hours. If you add'none, it will require to stand a day and a night, before use. Leaves dried in the sli.ulo are as good as fresh ones. As this is stronger than hop yeast., less should bo used in making up the dough. ? - o The news of Chase's resignation is confirmed, i .

A gentleman from tho South west, who arrived in Lynchburg, informs the Republican that .( Jen. Morgan has returned to" Virginia from his raid into Kentucky, bringing out with him many substantial evidences of tho success of his expedition. The great defeat which JJtirhridgc reported that lie inllicteil on Morgan on the 12th, at Oynlhiana, turns out, as was suspected it would, to have been all moonshine. (Jen. Morgan sustained no disa^tar whatever; on the countrarv. he whipped every Yankee fovee brought against him, and retired from that State at his leisure and only when tho purposes of his expedition were fully accomplished. During his raid, ( Jen. Morgan captured eight towns, viz: Cynthiunn, Mount Sterling, Paris, Fleiningshurg, Lcxingston, Maysville, Frankfort and Versailles, besides a number of villages too tedious to mention, lie captured 2,500 prisoners, between .'{,000 and 4,000 horses, and des troyed (Joverninent stores and other property it) iin* amount. ol many millions, ami in addition ho so c.ompletyly destroyed the Kentucky OuiiIral Railroad that ifVill tukc several months of the most untiring labor to put it in running order again.
