TUE FORTY-FIFrLI REGIIIENT.—The ap. predating departure of Col. Welsh:. Forty -'ifth Regiment from Camp Curtin, and a umored street parade on Tuesday last, drew ;us•tai that day, together with other of our 'Colombians, to Harrisburg to witness the 'display. \Ve found on the train just returning from philad el pfli We had . hoped to witness the presentation of regi mental p?ltrs to the Foaxv-Ftert:, but from 'the abseeke of ' L iwth Governor Curtin and 'Col.

Of course our 'first errand Wasiolook - ,up our own boys. fWe found them in line, ring through with drill pretiminek7 to parade. The company, *although neeessat:ll,y h. , led up with a consid 'erable prop6tilOn of raw men, shows that it 'is in good hands, and the mannal was gone through with with great ease and prompti ltude. The marching itni evolution were 'eseellerit.• ' When the regiment formed we found that Ca7pt. Rambo occupied one of the posts of honor—the left—his company being K, and as a flank company armed with Minis 'muskeis:, of which the boys are remarkably proud. Tint right, Company A, is held by Capt. Curtin, of Bellefonte, we believe. `This is another fine body of men. Capt. Haines, of Maytown, has another first-rate •crotppau. 'We will giyptbeorganizoion of .the regiment as soon as we can got the par 'ticulars. The few facts here, we picked up "by inquiry on the ground. • tdrawing up by company into lino for review we were struck by the steadiness :Ind 'promptness of our boys, and particularly by The Captain's short, crisp, emphatic render the word of command. It Wris clear ly audible, and seemed to work like the 'blade of a knife, with a distinct click, the vactich'•lattirig jerked' Our,' and tile bdys •answering in ready concert. At risk to the Captain's modesty we must pronounce him 'in appearance and hearing, the most officer 'like man of his rank in the regiment. . • The reguneq was forrne . d.' by Adjutant Jennings, and on' tile tippearanco of Col. -Welsh, Lieut. Cul. Beaver and Major the usual =monied 'preliminaries were kone• throng:a With; the "re4intental band from 'Wyoming, supplying the 'music. The f oompanies were then wheeled into Column 'moving admirably as a body, and the regi -meat took up the march for the city. •Cul. riVersh'vrhs mounted on anew horse, a strong 'built, showy gtay, ' , tr;e4 for the; first' time.= The Ayr4rlnti performed like an old stager, looked capable of carrying the Colonel -through anything—we hope ho may carry 'him safely through every danger.

Ite 'waited in the Capitol grounds and saw the 'regiment march past, and could not but con ;gratnlate the Col. on his materiel, and the 'state and county generally on the efficient soltileret , tkp head. It is rumored that this finti l otirits will be sent to tho West, possibly to Kentucky, and if so we will stake every. thing on its attaining distinction.

"' • • The regiment paraded through the streets of the city during the afternoon 'attracting general attention and commendation.' " It Wad thought when we Were at Harris burg• that , ' the.

Every thing about it looks cleanly and neat. The walks and pa rade ground aro much improved, while the management of the Quartermaster's Depart ment shows in whot good time a well-edu cated officer can conduct affairs. The Hos pital likewise is almJst as comfortable as some, and although several mouths since there was great fear on th 3 part of the sol 'Olen of getting in it when ill, there seems now to be no more 'comfortable quarters.— The sanitary cmdition of the camp is very good—but few being, on the sick list.

From August 1846 to 1817, Lieutenant Reynolds was Acting Assistant Professor of Ethics, La., in the military academy at West Point, an t Acting Assistant Professor of Natural and Experimental Philosophy to August, 1849, and Assistant Prufesuw to 1853.

Oa the ''_Bth of February, 1857, ho resigned from the army, and from that time we have no record of him until the 17th of May of the present year, when he was created a Brigadier General, and asegued to duty in the division of General Itosecrans, whore he commanded the Indiana troops.

You must know that on [asp Monday week, just as I was about addressing MY select circle of readers of the Spy, we got orders to pack up, with seven days' rations—two in knap sacks—and next morning we got the route for Great Falls. We struck out accordingly, two companies, K and B, under Major Dare, marching most of the distance—some twen ty miles—in peace and quietness, the even tenor of our way being varied only by a few mud-hales and creeks. Withia three Tiles of the .ralls,'however, cur blOod was plea. santly stirred by encounter with two civil ians making very good time in direction op posite to our route, highly excited and bear ing in their hands a coeple of very, very re pulsive looking missiles thrown by the rebels across the "drink" at the Eleventh Penna. Reserve. These explosives, percussion shells, served to explain the trepidation and confusion of the cits, ..y.lp could give us no satisfactory information.

We arrived at Great Falls without further adventure, and very much astonished the Eleventh by cons , lag, only two companies strong, to relieve a whole regiment. We still farther opened their eyes, when, on the cry being raised, "they aro forming to shell us again," our two companies stood nt a parade rest, just in range of the enemy's guns, awaiting the Major's orders. A ball striking our left flank would have traversed our whole line. The boys synced neither hand r, , , t .sy foot, though momentarily expecting one of the rebel's shells plowing through us, while the Eleventh showed us a beautiful rear. They were not drawn up in line, to be sure, but there was no occa.iou for souls amazing time as they snide. Our boys chaffed them as they left with "there go a good pair of feet for double quick!" "Eleventh, double quick march!" &c., &c. Our two companies did duty for two days, when we were reinforced by companies I and 1), which came up during the night from camp. Our duty was to lie among the rocks on the bank of the Potomac, watching the sneaking devils on the other side, who in their turn watched us, each side taking an occasional shot as opportunity offered.— A man couldn't raise Isis head above his shelter but a bullet would flatters itself on the rooks above him—if so be it didn't find a softer billet a little lower down. None of us were hurt, and as far as we can know none of the rebels suffered. Wo lived along through the week, our rations pleasantly and liberally varied by fresh fish, squirrels, chestnuts, &0., supplied by the boys when off duty. Altogether our picket duty was a pleasant variation to the monotony of camp 7310 230 7540 7348 228 7576 71.50 310 7489 7162 311 7473 "On last Tuesday we returned to Camp Tonnally, and on ‘Vednest.y were glad dened by a visy, from Cul. A. S. Green and J. G. Hess, who dined in camp. At noon we were warned to have two days' rations cooked and packed in haversacks, and still later in the afternoon the order was to pack everything in readiness for a move over into Virginia to make room for green troops, who were crowding Washington rather closely. We got off about seven o'clock the same evening, and after a three hours' march, bivouacked for the night, in an open field. Next morning we were moved to our posi tion in the brigade, and pitched our tents in a wood. We are, as you have doubtless been informed by the papers, some five miles from Chain Bridge, in the neighbor of Lewinsville.

Colonel to Viilicra, who recently escaped from P ; .ichmond, has been made a Brigadier- General, and will take command under General TtosecrFis, with whom he perred when taken prisoner by the Confederates. Despaicbeei !Faired at Elkwater, lyestern Virginia, state that the National troops un der general Reynolds bare driven Lee's forces froze; Big Springs to Elk Mountain and GreMibri'er Bridge.

The News Advices front paducah, Kentucky, ,plate that Nutioncl troops are active' pre pacifg for a struggle with the Rebek, who are to be advancing upon that Dtace. The women 'and children were rapidly eaving. `rho reports from Missouri confirm the re treat of Gen. Price toward the Southward, though the opinion is expressed by some that the movement is merely a strategic one.— The correspondent of the St. L mis Democrat, writing from Lexington, states that it was Price's intention, after he captured Lexing ton, to remain there and operate on the north I Fide of the Missouri river, and that he actu ally crossed over on the 2Stb ult., with 4,000 mounted men, for the purpose of destroying the railroad and committing, other depreda tions. On the evening of that day, however, word reached hind that Gen. Fremont was preparing to advance against him, with a force of at least 39,000 men, and he imme diately returned with his men across the river, and the evacuation of Lexington com menced that night. The correspondent of the Democrat states that theforce of Prie at Lexingtion was vary large, but that many of the men were there only for the occasion, and have since gone to their hopes. He marched Southward, with a force of only 15,000 or Is,opo men, which was likely to be still further decreased as he proceeded. The State Convention of Missouri met again at St. Louis on Thursday 10th but did no business for want of a quorum. The news from Kentucky is represented to be very encouraging for the Union cF.nee. Large numbers were enlisting for the sup port of the Government. Colonel Hawkins has occupied Owensboro'. A skirmish at Hillsboro' resulted in the defeat of a body of Confederates, of whom eleven wore killed, twenty-two taken prisoners, and over one hundred Enfield rifles captured. The threat ened attack of the Rebels upon Paducah, Kentucky, has not yet been made. The city of Louisville was much excited on Thursday 10th, by reports thnt an engagement was progressing, but it proved to ho untrue.— They probably grew oat of the foot that four National pickets, stationed seine distance from Paducah, had been overpowered by a superior number of Rebels. A. deserter from Johnston's Camp at Columbus reports his force at 30,000. A despatch from Western Virginia gives some explanation of the position of the troops there. A portion of Lee's force had joined Floyd, and both had fallen back a consider able distance from the positions occupied by the Federal forces. The roads were impassa ble for wheels. The Inteligence from Missouri states that the Confederate army under Gen. Price were' on the 9th instant, near Papinsville, in Southwestern Missouri, and wore still re treating southward. Price then bad from eighteen to twenty thousand men. The ad vance of Gen. Fremonts' ar.ny, twelve thous and strong, was, on the 11th, at Sedalia and Georgetown. The main body of the army was ea route between Jefferson City and Se dalia, but brought to a stand-still by the continued rains and the impassable condi tion of the roads. The force under Gens. Sturgis and Lane had not joined Gen. Fre mont at that date. It was not believed that any advance beyond Sedalia would or could be made fur some days. Papinsville, where Price was reported to be, is seventy-five miles from Sedalia, so that Fromont's chance of overtaking him was very remote. The Missouri Convention met on Satur day, when the Committee on Elections pre sented a report recommending that the State election be deferred till the first Monday of August, 1.8G2., alid that the present acting Governor, Lieutenant-Governor and Secre tary of State be kept in office until after' that election. It is stated that as soon as the Govern ment received intelligence that the steamer Nashville had run the blockade at Charles ton and was on her way to Europe with Messrs. Slidell and Mason, a swift steamer was at once deipa tolled in pursuit. The escape of the Nashville is, however, doubted, notwithstanding the assertions of the Rich mond papers. The Secretary of State has issued an im portant circular to the Governor of New York and other States in relation to the for tifications of the harbors and Lake shores. The Secretary does not anticipate any diffi culty with foreign powers, but looking to the efforts of the emissaries of the Soceeded States to stir up trouble, he thinks measures of preparation good policy. Official alvices from New Mexico repre sent that territory as perfectly quiet. The Indians were all loyal. Colonel Canby had about fifteen hundred regulars under his command, and the citizens had raised three full regiments. A copy of the Norfolk Day 13 tok, contains n telegraphic account of an attack made on the Bth instant, on Wilson's Regiment of New York %ounces, stationed on Santa Rosa Island. According to the account, over a thousand of the Confederates landed at night on the islapil and surprised the Zou ayes, who, though they rircs represented to have fought bravely, were bgdly cut up, their camp destroyed, cannon eipiked, The fact, as stated, that a Confederate officer was wounded whilst carrying a flag of titiee for the cessation of' hostilities, seems to cast soma doubt on the reported victory. The Confederates had forty killed and a large number wounded. Lieutenant Harrell, commanding United States steamer Union, of the Potomac flotilla, on Friday night 11th, made a successful boat expedition into Ocoquan creek and destroyed a large schooner which the Pon federates had concealed there. The affair was successfully accomplished rittioift loss of life. A resolution has been introduced into the Missouri Convention to confiscate the pro perty of those who continue Rebels within that §tat.e, the proceeds to be applied to re imburse the loyal citizens for their losses and for the use of the State. Governor Gain ble's Message to tbe Mis souri Convention asks for a more simple and effective military law, and recommends prompt miisnres to raise meats for carry ing on th'e'brar.

The Court of Inquiry in s elation to the ' conduct of Col. Miles during the battle of Manassas re-assembled on Wednesday. A Richmond Erip.tiner of Monday, re ceived at Fortress Mnnroe by a party who came front Norfolk under a flag of truce, contains two telegraphic despatches giving an account of a naval engagement said to have occurred on the night of the 11 h inst., between the Confederate Mosquito fleet, under command of Commodore Hollins, and the United States blockading vessels at the head of the passes of the Mississippi river. According to this account, after "a very short struggle," the United States vessels were driven ashore, one, the sloop-of-war Preble, sunk, and one, no name given, cap tured. It is reported that the Preble was sunk by a steamer armed with a n iron prow or peak, of the conrtruction of which, at New Orleans, several notices have been giv en. Whilst there is no doubt that an en gagement of some kind has taken place, the account given seems hardly credible. The Preble was an old sloop-of-war built in 1839. From the Examiner we have also the an nouncement that the Confederate steamer Nashville, cornmandel by Lieut. l'egram, formerly of the gaited States Navy, success fully ran the blockade at Charleston on Fri day last. She takes out as passengers James M. Mason and John Slidell, accredited res pectivoly as Ministers to Englund and France! The steamer North American passed Farther Point on Tuesday, with I..iverpool dates to the sth inst. It is reported that the Italian Government has submitted an ultimatum on the Roman question. The negotiations between England, Franco and Spain in relation to intervention in Mexico aro still in progress. The Paris Bourse was agitated, rents bad declined, and it was be lieved that the Bank of France would still further advance tle Fate of i iaterest. Bread stuff's closed steady, corn and wheat being higher, The Confederates having recently released and sent home fifty-seven prisoners, our Government had ordered the release of an equal number of Confederate prisoners. From Missouri we have a reported fight between general Lane's forces and the ad vance of Price's army, in which the latter were defeated and pursued for some distance. A. body of Rebels have also been defeated by the Hume Guard at Wilson's Mills. Gen eral Fremont was at last reports et Tipton, but still not prepared to move forward. A deserter from Price's army says that Price is a short distance south ofJohnstown, Bates county, moving southward. Ile reports great dissatisfaction in his command, and says that the State Guards aro in many in stances ready to forsake their leader if they could be st;ri, of being allowed to return home in safety. General Pulk made a proposal on Monday to the General in command at Cairo for an exchange of prisoners. General Grant de clined, with a promise to refer the matter to higher authority. A detachment of twenty five Federal cavalry were defeated in a skir mish with 100 mounted Rebels at Beckwith, Missouri, losing five killed and five wounded. A detachment of the Twenty-ninth Illinois seized a large amount of corn and several horses and mules at Thompson's Farm, Mis souri, on Monday. The steamer Yankee reports thnt the Po ' eahontas, while steering down the Potomac on Tuesday, fired a few shots into the new work at Shipping Point, on the lower side the Quantico, which had the effect of :malt ing, a rebel battery. It did not respond, but prepared its guns for the Seminole, which was but a short distance in the rear of the Pochahontas. The officer of the 'Yankee was six or eight miles distant, and witnessed the exchange of shots between the battery and the Semi nole, and through his glass di: inetly saw the bursting of the latter's shell. It is supposed that both the vessels, whielt wore loaded with stores and ammunition, have gone on their way without further obstruction. A company of armed rebels stopped a train on Monday at Itewiok, on the North Missouri Railroad, and captured six Union recruiting officers. They fortunately left untouched the express car in the train, which contained three hundr ed Enfield ri fles and two tont of military clothing des tined for Nebraska. A skirmish occurred near St. Joseph, Missouri, on Saturday, in which eight rebels were killed and five taken prisoners. The reports of a battle between a body of Kansas troops and the advance of Ben McCulloch's'army are confirmed. The battle took place near Shanghai, Boston county, the rebels being driven back, and afterward pursued forty miles. The Federal force was about three thousand and that of the rebels two thousand four hundred. The steamer Arabia has arrived at Bali fax, bringing Liverpool dates to the sth ins Mot. The news is not important. Bread stuff's closed fmn, The Triet 4,qerican states positively that Gen.

So also the Ilindoo makes his toes work at the loom, and weaves with them with almost as much dexterity as with his fingers. The Chinese carpenter will hold the bit of wood he is planing by his foot like a parrot, .and will worst a grindstone with his feet. Tho Beaake, tribe, who are the most famous canoe-men on the West African coast, will impel their light canoes, (weighing only from Sib. to 10Ib.) with great velocity over alp waves, and at the same time will use one foot to bail out the water, and when they walla xest their arias, one leg is thrown out on either side of the canoe, and it is propelled with the foot almost as fast as with thee paddle. There was also Monsieur Ducornet, who died only four yeaFs ago, who, although he was loOrn wiThotit hands, was brought up an artist, and who annuity exhibited at the Louvre pictures painted by his feet. Then there was Tl;omas Roberts, the armless huntsman to Sir George Bartow, whose feet were made to perform the duties of his hands. And there was William Kingstone, who with his toes wrote out his accounts shaved and dressed him self, saddled and bridled his horse, threw sledge hammers, and fought a stout battle, in which he came off victorious. —Calldbert Bade's Clencraggem. ORIGIN OF THE HAT.—We owe the list as we owe most of our manufactures,to Asia. It was in Asia that men first learned the art of felting wool, so as to compose the substratum of the fabric. Wool,so long as it conta ins the natural yolk or animal grease, refuses to felt; that is, its fibres will not mat together into a compact and close grained mass, such as constitutes felt. When the yolk lies been extracted by a chemical process, the wool has a Sendency to interlace its fibers, and to adhere firmly to the union thus formed; and frpz, a very remote period this secret was posessed by the oriental,. The hats which are constantly alluded to in Scripture—those, for instance, which were bound upon the heads of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego,when they were cast into the Assy. rian furnace—were genuine h ats,but probably adorned by turban cloths wound about them. I have seen the self-same hats— tall, narrow cylinders of grey felt, surrounded by a hand kerchief or cloth—on the heads of the Jews of Asia. Nor was the use of the hat a Hebrew monoply. The Kurds, Persians, Armenians and some tribes of Turks and Tartars wear the hat, as their fathers did in Sa I adin's day. The high lambs-wool bonnet of the Persian is but a brim less hat, with a nap of exaggerated roughness. The Nestorian Christians of Kurdistan wear Mats almost exactly similar to a battered Irish paubeen, only of a brown or dirty white color. Throughout the Kest, the dervishes and wand ering fakirs may be known by the tall, narrow hat of light hued felt, adorned by a greasy rag, and towering upwards like a chimney pot.— Chambers' Journal. Et7 - You can't do anything with them Southern fellows," the old gentlemen at the head of the table was saying. "If they get whipped, they'll retreat in them Southern swamps and bayous along with the fishes and crocodiles. You haven't got the fishnets made that'll catch 'em. "Look here, old gentleman!" screamed a Grey little fellow at the foot of the table,uwerve got just the kind of nets for traitors in the ba yous or anywhere." "Hey! what nets?" "Bayou-nets?" and the little fellow pointed his joke with a fork, spearing a fish ball sav agely.
