our of extremity. He recurs to the solid principles and hearty affection of Dr. Osgood, of Springfield, on whose ministry he attended for many years. He had a lucrative occupation as wool grower and dealer in Ohio, and gained a medal as exhibitor of wool at the World's Fair; and now finds himself in the wool business still, in a land where men find more dreaded foes than the young Hebrew shepherd found in the beasts that took a lamb out of the flock. I am well informed that the people at Grinnell took care of the company for two days, furnishing them food for their journey, and, on Sabbath evening, took up a collection for them as well as on Saturday evening. The same writer, in a letter published since the trial of John Brown, gives additional particulars of the old hero's talks when under his roof: Nothing seemed to so much excite him as an intimation that oppression aroused a spirit of revenge. As he spoke in public there was no boasting, nor a display of himself. The

ns the danger and economizes the force. A Corliss engine of one hundred horse-power operates the entire machinery in all the buildings,—for the great detached lithographic building seventy-five feet away is connected by a tunnel with the main group. Steam is supplied by three upright boilers, each of one hundred horse-power. Two Knowles steam fire-pumps are always in readiness for use. All of the buildings are connected by automatic fire alarms, as also with the city fire department. The Grinnell automatic sprinkler is in place throughout, and a fire brigade, composed of sixty-five men employed at the Press, is kept in constant training. This department is under the charge of one of the firm, who not only makes repeated tests of the order of the apparatus but calls out the fire-brigade from time to time on false alarms. Thus the men are kept in practice. Electricity is used throughout in lighting the premises. The founder of the business, which now employs some seven hundred p

ing ordered an earlier fight of the Federalists. Washington, June 11. --It is not known how many were killed and wounded at the capture of Little Bethel, where the Federalists whipped themselves. The fire of the Federalists at Great Bethel was apparently harmless. The attack lasted but half an hour, when a retreat was sounded, which order was promptly but orderly obeyed. It is estimated that about 30 were killed and 100 wounded. Major Winthrop, aid to Gen. Butler, and Lieut. Col. Grinnell, of the New York First Regiment, are missing. The attacking force was Duryea's Zouaves, Townsend's Albany Regiment, Col. Burdick's Regiment, detachment of the Vermont and Massachusetts Regiment, Col. Allen's Regiment, and Col. Harris's Regiment. The defenders numbered only 1,000 heroes at Little Bethel. A Southern Major and two Secessionists were captured.

y his brother officers, who, as may be expected, are keenly grieved by the bereavement. His funeral will take place on Wednesday, and his remains will be deposited in a metallic coffin specially ordered from Baltimore. Orderly Sergeant Goodfellow, of company D, First New York Regiment, was struck by a cannon ball and dropped dead. Three members of the same company were badly wounded. It appears that the Albany Regiment, under Col. Townsend, was in reserve. It was thought that Lieut. Col. Grinnell had been killed, as he was missing. Capt Judson Kilpatrick, of Company H, of the Zouaves, was wounded in the fleshy part of the thigh by the bursting of a shell, but gallantly led his company across the field to the attack.

cky Volunteers, wounded in the recent disaster on the Central Railroad, wish to return their thanks to the Superintendent and officers of that road, for the liberality with which they have endeavored to repair our losses. We desire also to express our gratitude to Drs. Jackson and Jones, the Surgeons, and to the committee of the St. Charles Hospital, for the skill, attention and kindness with which we were cared for. We also have to thank the citizens of Richmond, who have so generously contributed to our comfort, and especially Mr. Richardson and Rev. Mrs. Sumner, who have nursed as well as assisted us. The tender care and unwearying kindness with which Mrs. Grinnell and Miss Hussey, who volunteered to nurse us, have performed the trying task, will be remembered in our prayers. Davis Rangers.--W.
