The Now York of tlie 1st inst., j?nl>lishcs
a letter from flcv. 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.

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.
In the various fights and skirmishes with the
Yankees, ho killed and wounded between -100
and .500, losing himself only about 'J .50 in killed,
wounded and missing, instead of having his
command almost annihilated, asclaitned by the
lying Yankee General.
The. ox-ped-itiou was a complete success'in all
its details ami results, and adds another wreath
to tlm bright ohaplet that already encircles the
brow ol thy gallant Keutuekian.

The Manchester (Kng.) (iuardian referring'
t<? tin* feeling in (treat Kfilaiti in regard to the
.position of the German Powers, observes that
a year or two ago a rumor to the. effect that the
French were preparing to extend their frontier
to the left bank of the Rhino, would have
created the greatest, excilment ini Knglynd and
the almost unanimous sentiment, .among all
classes, wopld have. been that such an aggression
and such an aggrandizement, ol' the chief
military monarchy on the Continent must not
be tolerated for an hour.--Kven-tin*-firsH? steps
in the realization ol such a scheme would have
heen the signed lor a rupture of the friendly
relations with France, if not for open opposition.
Now, if, savs, that, if L?ui ; Napoleon
were to move'for thai object, the first. remark
of nine out of ten Kugli-dim?-n. we heii.-vc
would be: "It. will serve Prussia light; she has
se# the example of spoliation -and oppression,
and we at least, will no:: inlerfrtV to save her
from the merited punishment of her wrong
doing."

SiiAiif Pavetick.?The records of commercial
life, says the Newport, .Massaclinset's, Jfcrulti,
shows many instances of sharp practice, hut
nothing which better deserves to stand at. the
head of the list than the following transaction,
which took place in cur city lately. One of
our merchants received a telegram from his
Boston correspondent, stating that sugar had
gone up two cents, whereupon, without saving
a word to his clerks or any one else, lie hurried
up to the northern! and purchased the. whole
stock at. twenty-one cents. lie then returned
to his own place in great glee, treated his clerks
all round, and informed them of his shrewd
speculation. W hat was his consternation to
learn that, during his absence, one of his neighbors,
sharp as himself, had-called in and taken

estimate showed liim tlmt somebody hail cleaved
fifty dollars by the operation.
The Citanlian repcffls,or, as a waggish friend
would say, "norates" a good thing that occurred
on the Itli in Columbia. The usual dcmonstra
lions of the day were enlivened I?y the arrival
of a large nuniher of prisoners sen! from one of
(Jen. I lampion's hauls in Virginia :
As they filed through, they stopped to rest,
on the side walk, and o! eoiirse.colleeted a crowd,
and still more of course, the inevitable negro
was nunieiously represented. One of the
'Mown trodden" was very smart, in a red jacket
and glazed cap, as one of t he set who had a
i grand pic ni< yesterday, winding up with a
hall; by permission of the city fathers, and for
| which preparation had la-en going on lor weeks
past at tlutexpense of the cellars and fowl coops
, of the citizens. A'Yank, 110 doubt, expecting
some fun, saluted ourehony friend with,"Well,
Culfy, what machine do you run with ? With
a manner which loses nearly all its force on paper,
and with thumb on the end of his nose
and fingers gently moving in the air, CnlVce
thus responded, "Wid d< Hampton mashin,

T11 the recent proceedings of the Yankee Congress,
we ojisorvo that the subject of "peaeo"' was introduced
and discussed with ''groat excitement.'1 Ilefoio a

as a signilie.inl sign of coming events, or, at least,
as an unmistakable token of the workings of public

dynasty has introduced:

to obtain recruits in Ireland or Canada for our
army or navy, and whether such recruits have been
obtained, or whether,"to the knowledge of the lloveriunent,
Irishmen or Canadians have been induced
to emigrate to this country in order to so recruit, and
if so, what measures, if any, have been adopted in order
to avert such conduct*

Within the last, week I have seen some ten.
or twelve cases of mutilation h\ soldiers de
.si roils of getting to the rem*. These e own ids
shoot themselves through the hand, selecting
generally the second linger of the right hand,
and then g*o back to the hospital in.hopes of
h-'ingkSeiit to Washington with the wounded.
The surgeons having the recurring frequency
of these cases?:ii- the character el' these
wounds, hiirucd and discolored with powder,
was suflieiently indicative of their origin?they
reported the matter to headquarters, and the
delinquents in future are to he put upon the
skirmish line. It is customary in ordinary
eases to put the patient under chloroform ; but
as a punishment to the cowards, the surgeons
now pci form the amputation of wounded finr
gers without any amuathetio.The
latest foregn intelligence gives an account.of
a great naval engagement between the
Alabama and the United State steamer Kearsai/c.
The former was sunk in an engagement
which lab ted an hour and forty minutes. The
fight look place ten miles from Clierhouiw. on
Sunday, .June.lft. The Kearsayc was commanded
by Captain . J no.-A. Winston, who
sent, a challenge to the Alabama, which was
accepted by Captain Maniacs. The Alabama
was disabled by a shot through he boil lev,
while attempting to board the' /vca^saye.?
Captain Semmcs was slightly wounded in the
hand, lie reports his loss at nine killed and
twonly-ono wounded. The Kearsayc was considerably
damaged Cr.pt. Sonnies left all his
chronometers specie* and ransom bonds at
Cherbourg previous to going out to light, lie
was landed at Xoiithhamton by the (/rayhound,
where he was olt'ercd a public dinner, but declined
it and proceeded to Paris to report to
the Confederate Commissioner.
The Alabama was in an unseaworthy condition.
Captain Semmes' ollicial report says that
the enemy fired at the Alabama live' times after
her colors were struck. Her rudder was
disabled. During the action the crew displayed
the utmost bravery. The shell that did the
mischief struck the. Alabama just, above the
water line, knocking her bunkers to pieces.
The water almost immediately put out her fires.
A steam tug was sent from Cherbourg by the
