This secret of enamelling tho akin being only known
to Jules Jared. he honorably states that it differs from
all other proparstionS, being scientifically composed
from plants end harmlessgums, which produce the meet
brillinot complexion, and give a soft, even texture to the
shin, like that of an infant.
L'Etuall do Paris cleanses the tones from those nu
arghtly black worm specks and small particles which
give coarseuese to the complexion, and by cleansing
produces a healthful glow. It effaces. after a few weeks,
most happily, all scare, and la especially enceessfal la
eradicating the marks left by amen-pox.

Jules Jared's "Email de Paris" Is not a paint, not a
Powder, not a paste, but a most delicate preparation
that gives bath the complexion and texture of polished
ivory to the skin, Ladles sojourning in the country, or
at the watering places, will find the "Email do Paris . "

THE EXPEDITION TO JOILN'S ISLAND.
Major General Foster in Command—
Magnitude of the Undertaking—Fort
Johnson .Captured anti Lost—Various
Movements in Seareh:of a Weak Point
—.lnines Island aa. Base of _Renewed
Operations.
[Spacial Correspontlnce of . The Press.)
STEAM ' SREDWIN L 1 WIS, July 2 1864.
During the last four days of June preparations for
an expedition from Hilton Head created much in
terest in all circles throughout this military apart
ment. We have made so many attempts to operate
upon the mainland since the capture of the Port
Royal islands, and have met with suoh serious dis:
asters, that unusual interest attaches to all sueh
movements. But there can, be no reason why the
troops in this department should remain quiet in
their camps whilst other portions Of the army aro
pouring forth rivers of bleed in defence of the na
tional cause. I judge that General Foster is riot
the man to remain kilo when he has at his Com
mend the means of striking a blow for the Union
cause. It is, quite likely, too, that any Important
movement in this quarter may have the elfect to
weaken the force in front of- Grant or Sherman. i t
is gratifying and encouraging to all that the chief
officer of the department has gone Into the field to
command in person. Ile will know that his orders
are understood and executed, nor will he shrink from
any amount of responsibility that properly attaches
to his own acts.
The magnitudo of tho expedition may bo inferred
from the fact that Gene. Hatch, Saxton, and Bir
ney, hare commands.. It Would be improper for me
to mention at present tho numberof regiments com
posing those brigades. lint the force is a strong
ono, and composod mostly of colored troops.

left Hilton head at 0 o'clock the first day of July.
THU OW ROT
The objective point of the campaign lied been,
kept a profound Foeret td all except a small and select
few.: Most . people expeatoekthe moVement was to be
against Savantuils;..Ge.., ana this impression was nb
'douhtdeepenedWheh'oti - r little armada moved out
In thethreotiOn of tliersoutheast. But the morning
of July 2d found _as on the coast of Soulh Carolina,
opposite North Edisto Inlet. Here we were unfor
tunately delayed. The buoys were to have been
lighted, to . that our pilots could have ,moved over
the, bar at high tide during the night. The gunboats
Pawnec, McDowell, and ono or two others were to
have been present and ready for an early movement.
But they failed to get up in time. It was also our
bad luck to have the Collins 'and. Wyoming get
aground as the tide was falling. . What effect these
items of ill luok may have upon the ultimate issues
of•the campaign remains to be seen. •
• DIVISION OR TUE venoms. .
At Edisto Inlet the forces were divided into two
parts; both, however, werelto contribute to the ac
eilmplishment of the same object. Gen. Hatch and
Gon. Saxton took command of one part, and were
to move to a point on John's Island, about ten miles
from Charleston, and somewhat in its rear. Gen.
Barney, accompanied by Maj. Gen. Foster, moved
up the Edleto, and it is - the arrangement that both
.divislons shalt strikifthir":oharieston and Savannah
Railroad at points distaittfrom each other about
fifteen miles: . I was with the force that•mOved up
the inlet. A little before sundown the gunboats
Pawnee, Wamsutta, and 'Vixen, camp up to White's
Point, and retell pickets were discovered. At this
place It was expected a battery would be oncoun
tered: The Banks and Lewis moved as near the
shore as possible, and the disembarkation of troops
Commenced. Tho Banks was the first to put men
ashore, bucCapt. Hoyt, Co. A, 34th U. S. C. T., soon
hid his company on land, .formed In a lino as,
skirmishers, and penetrated the woods in search of:,
the enemy or any batteries. The 34th, Col. Mont%
gomory, Ssth, Col. Bucker, and 7th U. 5. 0. T., C 01..•
Shaw, were soon ashore and in 110 of battle. No.
enemy made his appearance, or conid,be found, and
these troops slept on their arms that night. White?s
Pointis on the main land, and dlstaffe from the
railroad about fifteen miles.
• - • ---- _
As day dawned. On the-mot - Ling of the Bd, General
Briley% e t ornmank-waS. In! motion.. He had pro
ceeded but: a mite and a half when ho drove back
cneiriPs pickets. 'Companies A and 8,.34th,
Captillus Hoyt and Apthorp, were sent forward us
skirmishers. Lieutenant Jones, with two Llipound
howitzers, shelled the , woods in our advance.. On
we went till the enemy crossed a stream 0('O yards
wide and removed the plank from the bridge behind
him. Some 300 yards back of this stream ahattery
of six guns opened upon us with great fury.. 0 eno
ral Poster and two armed transports had passed up
the Danube, a branch of the Edisto river, and were
engaged in shelling the rebel position, MCA of
their shell fell short, and in some inctinces.ondan
gored the lives of oar own men: The .actioh of„,the
skirmisher's and the cannonading lasted eiglibbours,
with scarcely any intermission. The day was the
hottest of the. season.. A thorough. reconnoissance
demonstrated that it was impozsttale, with our means
of transportation, to cross the river so as to charge
the buttery. At best the attaekwas intended to be
only a feint for the purpose of covering a more im
portant movement. General Yllrney withdrew un
molested, and the next morning was at the month of
the Edisto river, with not a man killed, and only
seven wounded—:-all sligh4ly.
A DENONSTRATION ON THE SOUTH EDISTO
similar demonstration was maces at the same
time and for the samopurpole on the South Edflito u
•but nothing worthy of note occurred: Whilst these
inovemonts wore going on, Gonorala Hatch and
Saxton, with a pretty strong command, composed of
infantry, cavalry, and artillery, landed on St. Johns'
island, and moved, along Bohloket's, passed Bug
and Ohuroh bridges in the direction of the
railroad southwest of Charleston. The object of
this movement could have been nothing less than to
prevent the rebels from throwing a force upon John's
island. What more might have boon contemplated
Is not now apparent. Some supposed the main ob
ject was to destroy a railroad bridge; if so, there was
.112 . 05 t particulaz a failure.

Early in the morning of July 2d;the 624 Engl.
=lnk Pennsylvania 'Volunteers; under command of
Colonel Cunningham, assaulted and captured
Fort Johnson, on James Island. This regiment
was to haro boon supported by tho 127th Re
giment New York Volunteers, but it failed to come
to time, and it was not till Colonel Cunningham saw
the transports leave the shore, abandoning him en
tirely, that he surrendered. It Is thought that had
the 52d Regiment been properly supported, the
whole of Janice Island and in fact Charleston would
have been ours. As it is, we lost In the alfair about
two hundred men (besides a golden opportunity),
most of whom arc prisoners.
At the same time Gen. Schimmelpfennig, with the
33d United States Colored Troops ; 05th Igassachu.
sett' (colored), - and 54th Now York (a white regi
ment), assaulted a rebel battery situated near the
south part of Morris Island. The assault was led
by tho 3:ld, but not carried ; the white regiment
then hurried up, but recoiled before the terrible liro
of the enemy. Tho 55th was ordered up, and, with
a yell and fierceness which meant to do or die, they
went in, captured the battery, and held it. flat few
prisoners were taken, and the guns aro now doing
good service in the loyal cause.
Present apyearances indicate that a largo force is
to be concentrated on :fames Island, and that
has commenced. If so, the labor and sacrifice of
last summer go for little or nothing. Wo aro
to have bloody work, charging batteries, or immense !
fatigue duties at digging, if such la the plan. It
seems strange that the hottest months in the year
should be selected for the work. Bat uoarly all our
troops are of " African descant," and they can I
probably stand it. During successive, days I have

. eOUTHPAiR DEPARTMENT STILL ACTIVE.
STFAMEit FULTON, July 17, 1814,
In taking my leave for a short time of the Depart- .
meat of the South, a few thinks remain to be said of
'General Foster's late expedition. This would have
been communicated -before, but 811100 the Arago
wart taken off this line, our mail arrangements have
been of the most wretched' And aggravating
racter. My last. letter (If yOu have resolved it)
brought events down to the morning of the 7th Wt. -
At that time General Foster's plans, combinations,
aramovements were such that It was impossible to .
form an !doe of the grand,andlidtimate idea sought.
by the expedition. The enemy could not have been
more thoroughly bewildered than were eliteers In
our own army. It is now evident that the expedition
was against Charleston, and that all the side.move
, ments had their part to play in this ulterior design.
1 1 But other matters, of secondary importance, were
contemplated. Active Service for the troops, esp.>.
Malty those colored regiments who had not been
under musket fire ; a diversion in favorer Grant and . ,
Sherman; a development tithe rebel strength In and
about Charleston, Sec., were among the minor con
siderations contemplated. .
Of course much that was anticipated Was &Staidly
accomplished. All parties aro so welt satisfied with
results that a disposition for more active service
. prevails in all camps and quarters. I would not be
surprised if, as soon as the excessive hot weather Ii ,
over; or la spite of it, another expedition should
soon tender Its compliments to the enemy. On the
morning of the 7th it became evident-that the pre
sence of our troops - on' Johnkrlblend was very die.
tasteful to the rebels, and - that' nd pains were to be
spared to dislodge us. They were very mitts°, re
connoffring our position, tiling . our ,lines, firing
upon our pickets, and manceavring fora-general en
gagement. Our troopswere 'posted just south of a
narrow strip of low marsh !endow:oss which, before
the war, was a bridge frequently travelled. This we
attempted to destroy, but its destruethin was only -
partially accomplished when we' hail desist, the
rebel lire was so hot. Colonel - AV. W. H. Davis, of
the 104th Regiment Pennsyliania 'Volunteers, with
glass in band, was examining the *onemY's move
ments when he was struck in the right hand by a
shell, tearing away all the fingers from that hand.
Ho was compelled to :eave the tiold; anil•tire com
mand of the regiment devolved upon . .tieutenant
Colonel Hart. This change of officers, as sebso•
quent events proved, WWI , more' than. an ordinary
calamity. The enemy soon advanced in-froat, right
and lett of this bridge, with 'the - yell' of demons.
Lieutenant Wilts, with a section of the 3(N. Y.
Artillery, and all his guns' double-sheeted' with
grape and canister, opened upon this host as it came
down the road. It is useless to say that the slaugh
ter was terrible. The charge was wholly-ineffectual,.
and the enemy gathered up his dead and'wounded'
and made off as soon as poss.iblet:'
The facts were reported to General Fostar; and it
was evident to hint the rebels Trere.eencentrallug a
force some six or eight thousand strongon-Sehus
Island. To . withdraw our troops 'and stores was
now the question. The evacuation of- the island:
being determined upon, Colonel Montgomery was
ordered to take his brigade to the island and cover
the evacuation. He reached tha•seene . otection
early in the morning of the 9th. - This . 104th , Penn
sylvania hold the advance and 'were strongly en--
trenched in yiele-pits. I cannot' state how other
regiments ~and brigades were posted without con
veyinginformation which it is best thoonemyithould
not ,understand.' I may state that Montgomery's
brigade Was in ..reserve. As the day dawned, tha
enemy, with horrid yells, buret upomour advance,
the 104th, and drove It to the roar. Thlsmust have.
been a complete surprise to the regiment, and
somebody—pickets, skirmishers, or oillsors—failid
to do their duty.
.This regiment did gallant service - on• the . retail
' auto under McClellan, is composed of the -best rat
terial, has been long in the service, and-its failtal l
to stand its ground on the oohasion referred to is
matter of entrains mortification to its mamy.friends.
Montgomery pushed forward the left tiler'
7th United States Colored Tioaps, Colonel. Shaw,
checked the retreat, drove the rebels back, re-esta!
Wished our line, and held the ground firmly to-the
end. A section. of the 3d New York Battery, Capt.
Day, participated in this engagement antitildwood
service. Three times on the 9th. 011r , lIneg. Were.
assaulted, but no part of it wavered for a. moment
during the day. Our loss was but light ;:that of the
enemy's must have been serious. Duringthe night,
unmolested, we evacuated John's Island. The next
day James Island was evacuated, and- the • troops
eOOll retired to their former camps. Takingthe ex_
pedition as a whole it was a grand reconnoissance
•ea the south of Charleston.' Among the. resultiOri - -
creased confidence will everywhere be. pnt . ..ini• the
steadiness and reliability of colored troopp . ,,i.in no
instance aro they accused of failing t(VO
whole duty,—they did it well.

achievements. In fact, it isnolely my confidence in
this element of your national character Which oven

I leave it to younger and more adventurous spirits
than myself to work them out to an advantingeous
. ,
By profession I have boon a sea.captalm-nbd com
mercial agent for a house in Bordeaux ; but tbr the
last Ilya years continued ill health has compelled•
me to relinquish the son. In 1835, In the month of
June, I sailed for lile Janeiro,. with a cargo of
silks, Nacre, and Cutlery. In latitude 52 deg. 38 min:
11.,.and longitude 5 dog. ri min. 8., we were union.
,tUnately becalmed for nearly a fortnight, and our
supply of water, so indispensable In that hot' cli
mate, chancing to fail us, wo were reduced to sore
&hate. A council of the crew (eight in number)
t waslield, for I maintained with the mate that, in•
such a difficulty, affecting every man alike, each
man alike should be entitled to a voice. The opinion
advanced by. the mate, Xavier, (a noble Switzer long:
since dead), was to this purpose, that we should
.hold on our course, by the favor of God, to St. Paul's
island, where Freroh vessels occasionally touched,
to which I would have assented; but Manuel, the
Jeliletit sailor aboard, pointed out that wo wore full
:flltyleagues away from St. Paula; whereas, in his
belief, a slight change In our course, sailing east
.wardly, would bring us to an island, where we could
getboth water and provisions from the natives, for
the asking. And so wo determined to steer. As if
to fortify our resolution, a breeze sprung up in the
sante afternoon ; we hoisted our anchor, and In the
nerd morning, just at daybreak, the watch reported
land .on our starboard quarter. It. proved to bo
6..611111 Island, as Manuel had suspected, and I was
se,oharmed with It, that I visited it in the following
year, arid again in the spring of isle.'
kr , .thill Island le a low, mostly level, extremely
fertile islands Situate in longitude 48 dog. 52 min.
ei t et, reckoning from . Washington, and latitude 8
44.38 min. north. It's• not above three miles in
width to thirteen In length. The coast, singularly
enough, is irregular, rind in some places rocky,
though- mostly shelving, At the southeastern ex
tremity of the island is a narrow but excellent cove,
which forms a good harbor, the lead indlcsting fatly
three fathoms of water at' ebb , tide. The island is
nominally the territory of -the Portuguese Govern
ment,lcaving been discovered as early as 1142 by
the galleon San Ohristoval, through the exertions
of whose captain, Dom Ores Soul, a colony was
established here, but speeslity.broken up. The pre
sent natives are a swarthy, tall; and rather grace
ful people. They speak a dieleat which, from the
elects of corruption, is probably now become peen.
liar to themselves; and, indeed, they are rather In
telligible, with their gestures and- looks, than by
word of mouth. They subsist chiefly upon, yams,
cocoanut-bread (a palatable article - made of cocoa
nuts dried in rough kilns and then reduced to dour,
dried bananas, and tuberites (the- last a most lus
cious fruit as large as ordinary- oranges, having
something of the appearance of plums; but without
a kernel, stone, or seed of any kind) But the - chief
article of food are the green turtlee,.vrldeti abound
upon this coast in extraordinary numbers.

spert—whieh Is very exciting—as for the profit de
rived from selling thorn to the trading-Teasels which
oecaelonally make for the harbor --Lo. boisterous,
weather! Considerable numbers are.' annually
shipped to Patagonia. On my second:whit to ther
lelandfl Was witness to a nocturnal turtle hunt, in.
whiehtall of the people took part. By. dark, the.
prilpetations having all been made, twenty-five or
thirty kirshen canoes, each contatning.flve- or six
men, ut out from shore probably *to- a. distance
of twirriy . rods, and the whole -flotilla then
rangei pelf as though in lino of battle.- In each
canoe ne person was chosen torch-bearer, and bore
in his sand. a large flambeau. At a giveueignal,
the tolihes were lighted and moved taand fro, the
caneesiwere slowly propelled landwardp.the•oars
keeping perfect time, and the men shouting " Kilo V

Tnzrm: 11113 [WEIS. ix GERM A NY.--TILC Journa' . de
Frankfort contains the report of a trial which as
brought before the world a tale of misery surpassing
far any that a sensation novelist ever penned. Tt:e
accused is described as a woman in her twenty.tiftit
year, named Julia Krapf, who is charged with the
crime of triple, infanticide. Notwithstanding her
youth, she looks fully fifty, so wrinkled with hard
ships of everykind is her face, and so bent beneath
the weight of care her form. Her husband, who ws.s
an engraver, committed suicide three years since,
leaving her with three young children, and nothie,, ,,
to supportqhmu. The poor woman worked late and
early or them. She took In washing, and she took
in sewing but, owing , to the low rate of wages
she received, she could not succeed, with - all
her industry, . to drive the wolf from the
door. But' ,her Situation became desperate
when work. failed altogether, and a sore
foot prevent.rl the unfortunate woman from going
to seek more: Then came the landlord, who, find
ing her wretched sticks of furniture would not, if
distrained, pay.a week's rent, ordered the tenant to
leave the premises - . Whet to do then she kneW not,
and one evening, as the children became clamorous
for bread, she made up her mind to suffocate herself
and .them with'aplece off charcoal which ehe bor
rowed from a nalgnber. This neighbor shortly after
.1k
went to Julia rapros lodging, and found her still
living and all the-children dead. 'When arrested
and brought to trial the unfortunate woman, with
tears streaming down her cheeks:, said she could not
regret what she bed done, because It was more mer
ciful to kill her children , than to let them endure all
the pangs of tlylnk, , of starvation. A verdict of
guilty, with extarnmtlog circumstances, was, of
course, returned, and • when- the accused was con-.
demned to five yearsorpentel servitude the jury
signed a protest against , the sentence.
A HORRIBLE Svorm---The Parks Moniteur is so
hard up for news that gives currency to the fol
lowing monstrous 'Story: The rates of the magnifi
cent abbey of O'Connor; of which Sligo is so proud,
have just witnessed a horrible scene. An English
man, Sir William P—; - had been Insulted in a cafe
by a young Irishman of geed family. They fought
on the following morning r in the ruins of the abbey,
each armed with a sword;pistols, and a dagger.
Alter the second shot Sir , William P— foil ; a
bullet bad entered his thigh. The seconds then
Interfered, but Sir William bogged them to seat
him on a stone, and let him continue the duel with
swords. Ills antagonist deolleed duel under such
circumstances, but Sir William , maddened him,
'Because you are as cowardlrto-tlay as yesterday.'
The combatants fell to, and -Sirifilllfam P--,
-
seated on a stone, plunged his .sword; into the Irish
man's breast. Nothing daunts-3;-he cried out, 'lt is
nothing; I have still strength to tear you-to pieces
with my teeth, and devour yon:' Ito sot upon his
foe with his dagger, and, thus armed, thelwo-relled
to the ground, tearfully hacking each other sent:their
poignards, and tearing each other with their teeth.
At Last the seconds tore them asunder. They found
Sir William had received seven stabs, in-addition to
the bullet wound through his thigh: lie wassevere
ly bitten about the arms, hands, and- (ace . ; his ad
versary had bitten out a huge mouthful- from his
right cheek. 'i be other was muchgashod about, and
horribly mutilated by Sir William's teeth. The pair

Bears= IONATIVS.—The brethren of-lho-Eng-
Tisk Order of St. Benedict have commenced .a-series
of pilgrimages to various points of monastic interest
in Norfolk. Their first visit was made to Bawburgh,
a village near Norwich, in the course of last week..
A correspondence has passed between twenty-three
Norwich clergymen and the Rev. E. A. Rillyard,
rector of St. Lawrence, Nbrivich, M
who -has enet ?
tied himself with the brethren. The twenty-three
clergymen earnestly and affectionately entreated
Mr. Hillyard to submit a statement •of -the view
which he takes of his position, and the-principles
which guide him, to the Bishop of Norwich: and to
be guided by tho recommendations whioh the-right
reverend prelate might offer. Mr. Hlllyard-replied
that, after giving "prayerful attention" to Ullman
sel, he declined to discontinue his daily administra
tions of the communions to the monks. Oa this the
twenty-three clergymen forwarded Mr. Hlllyard
resolution, in which they expressed a hope that his
judgment, treed by the bias of a false impression,
would yet give to the considerations put before him
their doe weight and influence. Mr. Hillyard, in a
long reply, complained of " a course .of unscrupu
lous agitation,originated by persons as hostile tothe
church as they are ignorant of its •teachhig. The
twenty-three clergymen reply by intimating.to the'
reverend gentleman that they consider. that ho is
infiictiug a heavy blow upon tiro interest•of religion,
arid of the church which lie is bound by. the most
solemn pledges to support." Referring to. Brother
Ignatius as Mr. Lyne, the twenty-throe clergymen
add : " Not to speak of him as the enthusiastic eu
logist of Rome, of his schismatic ministrations, or
of the more than questionable - nature of his doo-
trines and practices, stiftleolt that he acted and still
acts In contempt of episcopal; authority and of

otherwise disfigured themselves, to save themselves
from the gallantry of their. oppressors. In Lithu- '
anis,' litiouravieli transported. tho populations of
entire villages. Such has been the fate of the
inhabitants of the village of Prujany, whose
crime was to have bastionaded a parson whose
conduct appears to have. 'richly merited that
punishment. The goods of the victims were
sold, .the Russian officers, as usual, having laid

FUAITCLII AND COMMERCIAL.
Money . Wail's still heavy In suspense. That Mr.
ressenden has not yet submitted the terms of the
now Popular loan;' which It has been asserted for
many days past he intended to call for,.is occasion
ing much cominelit. New York papers announce
tho'expccted arrival in that eity of the Secretary of
the Treasury at an early dayj and it is intimated
that his conferencerwith the associated banks on
the subject or a fifty millions loan are not yet ended.
It may be that he . wlll yet agree to the'eonditions on
which the banks propriacal'to aid the treasury. In
the Meantime, the'banks have commenced toeartall
their loans and discotmtaat a sharp rate In maid
patient:if the fortheidning popular loan. This con
traction is shown by'the•decreasing daily bank ave
rage at the Clearing House. The duty of our banks
at this juncture is entirsly in accordance with their
Interest add the interest of the community. If, for
the next thirty days,' - theywill steadily curtail their
loans on commercial paper; they will do• much: to
wards reducing the present- Inflated value of agri
cultural products, and thus enable our merchants to
begin the fall business on wzruchealer basis; Should
they, on the contrary, support the present inflation
by bank accommodation until•' the coming of the
new crop, our merchants wilt be compelled' to make
advances on such Inflated values, which rill bo pe•
rflous alike to both merchants and banks.

"More than this ho (Kr. Greeley) does not feel at
