Frem the New York Times, May 4.] Tus Fine Kinc.— A few invited guests were treated to a novel spectacle yesterday afternoon at Joues’s Wood. Signor Cristofero Buono Core was kind enough to roast himself for their private gratification. A neat little bower was constructed of chip and brushwood, and s gentleman, probably @ young falamander, and still in the blue svate, set fire to it. The wind was high and there was soon a good blaze, hot enough to force the curious back from their positions, and to cause the ET sala- mander to Jook red in the face. The old salaman- der began make himself athome. He stepped into the roaring mass, walked leisurely among the flames, made his appe: c@ at the four entrances of the structure, and remained fizzing and cooking urtil the light material was all consumed. ¥ everthe flames were fiereest he pir: imself, and although his heimet cracked and hugh blisters of a saline character bulged out on it. he himsalf was safe and sound; neither spent in wind nor fiushed in face. Such a contrivance certainly merits at- tention in a humanitarian point of view. The fire fevastatetic, in particular, should look into the matter. THE ITALIAN SALAMANDER, (Prom the New York Daily News, May 2.} The most remarkable exhibition which we have had the good fortune 10 witness for along time, took place at Jones’s Wood on Wednesday after. noon Qristoforo Buono Gore, who bas created greatexcitement not only among the masses of the peop e of London, but also upon its savants, ap- peared at Jones’s Wood at the time named to give an exhibition toa se’ect number of gentlemen of the wonderful merits of adress which he has in- vented.and which, he claims, isnot only imper- vious to fire, but, when worn, will preserve the body from injury, though the dress be in actual contact with flame. This he puts on, of course, before going into the fire, which is prepared as follows; Two iron cages are formed to intersect each other, about fifteen feet long by seven feet high, but only three feet wide, with four openings or doorways. These he completely surrounds and covers with light brushwood, which is fired, and when the wEole becomes, asit were, one body of flame, he enters, traverses tho covoral narcow burning avenues, passing in and cut at each opening with apparent ease and perfectly un- harmed. Soon after the wood had been fired the heat was so great that the spectator could not stand nearer to it than eight or ten yards, and at that distance only with great discomfort.’ All who saw the ex- rfectly satisfied that he could do all he promised, In fact, he appeared to be the Only dissatisfied person on the ground, for the rea- gon that the fire was not hotenough for him. The exhibition will besepeated on, Wednesday next, ne proprietor of the grounds has made |i and Urations for the enjoyment of visitors, |e" A FIRE KING. | From the New York Sun, May 19 } Yesterday a number of newspaper reporters and other persons visited Jones’s Wood to see an Ital- jan, Signor Buono Core, walk unscathed through ahotfire. About 4 o’clock the gentleman made bis appearance clothed in a suit of canvas, painted red. Around an iron arbor. with four entrances lay alarge pile of light Brushwood. This was ig- nited. The Italian then unconcernedly walked through the burnivg mass, remaining amid the flames until the wood had'been consumet. The exhibition completely demonstrated the practica- bility of persons walking through fire unharmed, when clothed in fire-proof garments, On uncoy: ering, Signor Core was discovered ina state of protuce perspiration and in no wise injured by the experiment. E KING— REMARKABLE 4 - THE FIR: FON E EXIBI. [From the Brooklyn Union, May 19.] A private exhibition of a very novel character was given yesterday in Jones's Wood by an Ital- ian gemtleman who styled nimself Christoforo Bu- co Gore, or the Fire King, who stood in the midst ofe fierce fire for nearly half an hour, thoroughly establishing his claim to the title he has asrumed. The entertainment was quite curious, but the Sig- nor bas higher claims for his invention than a mere show. It was accorded by all present yester- day that the Signor made good his claims, and his invention merits the attention of those interest- ed—and who is not ’—in the saving of human life, A SALAMANDER. From the Brooktyn Daily Eagle, May 19 [ There are a great many wonderful things being done in and around New York just now by the spirits and magicians, but these manifestations are of no practical utility, except to the exhi ors, who are reaping arich harvest from the cred- | ulous. Something that is at once carious and usefal has, however, been brought to pablic no- tice. ignor Buono Core has invented a fire- roof suit, in which he cin walk into a burnin Building with flames playing around hin and fee toinconvenience. This discovery may be of great service. Itis not expected that every one will at once order a salamander outfit, and keep it ia the house in case of fire, but it wil bea good thing foreach fire company to be provided with a suit, which will enable the wearer to enter burning Duildings, save property, and assist materially in extinguishing fires. [From the Evening Express, May 20.] Have we asalamander among u3? If byasnala- mander ig meanta living being which can walk unharmed, like the three young men in the Scrip- ture story, through a fiery furnace, and come out unscathed, we think Signor Buono Oore is tairly entitled to the appellation, albeit the common no- tion that the little reptile from which he de- rivesit cando the like with impunity isa fabu- lous idea, A few daysaco the Signor invited a party to go up to Jones’s Wood and witoess a de- monstration of his right to be considered a mod- ern Abednego. He entered aniron cage around, over, and upon which an intensely hot fire was burning all the while, and made himself quite at home therein, for some space. Nor did he seem to care more for the exposure than if he were walking like Adam in Eden, in a garden in the coolof the evening. He will give his first public exhibition at Jones’s Wood next Wednesday af- ternoon. It certainly isa very curious feat. { From the Saturday Courier, May 21.] Signor Buone Core on Wednesday last gave a rivate exhibition to the members of the press at ones’s Wood. His atrangement consists of a light iron frame work, standing about ten feet héch, with exits and entrances at each end and tice, which is plentifully covered with brushwood, saplings and shavings, and a dress somewhat re- sembling that of the submarine diver. ‘A young gentleman, evidently disvored to make light of the effair, distributed Incifer matches among those present, with a request to assist in firing the pile, which was speedily accomplished, and as the heat drove the crowd backward, Buono Core, accoutered in his novel dress, with a**mar- tinl stelk,” entered the flames, which, judging by a remark he made as he did so, were scarcely in- tense enough to satisfy his inordinate desire to be comfortably warm | ;e most ample arrangements have been per- found to have the feat performed in the MOST SATISFACTORY MANNER UpON THE STAGE OF THE CANTERBURY ‘The curious will not fail to see this MARVEL OF THE AGE, He appears every night, and at the SATURDAY AFTERNOON MATINEE.

Skirmishing in Burnside’s Front—General Birney Pssigece tothe Tenth Army Uerps; Rumors of Other Changes Current. HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAc, Nothing of particular interest has transpired in the past two days. The skirmishing in Burnside’s front yeaterday afternoon was quite lively, but without injury toourmen. This feems tobe the only part of ourline where the firing may be said to be almost unceasing scarcely five minutes day or night, withont hearing musketry or artillery. Gen. Grant has assigned the command of the 10th army corps to Gen: Birney, who will pro- ceed to his new post this morning. Gen. Bir- ney has well merited this promotion, no divis- ion in thearmy having done nobler services during the campaign than his. . His personal staff accompany him. Gen. Mott succeeds to the command of the 3d division. Many ru- mors of other changes are current, but cannot bezeliea on, and of course are not worth men- joning. FROM BALTIMORE. The Death of Maj. Gen. McPherson—Fears of Another Rebel invasion of Maryland— | , Yhe Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Undis- turbed—Organization of the Maryland Militia. BaLtTimonyE, July 24.—There has been some Tumors to-day about another intended rebel invasion of Maryland in large force, and many persons in Western Maryland are much alarmed, and have left. The rumors about the Baltimore and Ohie Railroad being again interrupted are wholly unfounded. ‘rains went out regularly to- night, and have also arrived. A particular friend of Maj. Gen. McPherson in this city received a dispatch to-day from Gen. Sherman, announcing the death of Gen. McPherson. He was killed in the fight and great Union victory of last Thursday or Fri- day. The information is so direct as to leave no doubt of its melancholy truth, General McPherson was engaged to be married to a Baltimore lady. Rees from General Grant continue cheer- ra Energetic measures are being taken towards thoroughly organizing the Maryland militia. Our City Council assembled in extra session on Saturday afternoon to devise measures regard- ane oe coming draft and the procuring of sub- stitutes. [ANOTHER DISPATCH.) Gen, McPherson’s Remains in Charge of his Staff. BALTiIMor®, July 24.—A private dispatch, Teceived by arelative of Gen. McPherson in this city, lastnight, dated near Atlanta, July 23, annonnces that that gallant officer was killed in battle the day previous, and that his remains will be sent home in charge of mem- bers of his staff. ig = How Gen. McPherson was Killed. Lovisvit_z, July 2i.—Major Thorerass, vaymaster At Chattanooga, telegraphs Major Allen, chief paymaster here, that Major Gen. McPherson was killed on Friday before At- Janta. Another correspondent says that he was shot fatally through the lungs. {It is understood that the military authori- ties in Afni have been officially in- formed of Gen. McPherson’s death.—REP.} FROM MEMPHIS. Return of Gen. Smith’s Expedition. Cargo, July 23.—The steamer Hillman brings one day’s later news from Memphis. A cavalry officer who accompanied Smith’s expedition gives the particulars of the general operations. Onur forces consisted of divisions each of infantry, cavalry, and a brigade of colored troops. Smith outnumbered For- rest all throngh, and whipped his forces five times. The battle at Tapalyadi on the 13th inst., was severe, and our enemies were terribly punished by our cavalry and negro troop3, who bore the brunt of theengagement On the same nigh: the rebels azsnalted our temporary works, and were repulsed. On the 15th another battle occurred, Forrest making three charges on our line, but was driven back each time with great slaughter. On the night of the 15th the last day’s rations were disiributed, and the next morning the expedition started on the return, followed by Boufford’s cavalry, who, however, retreated with severe loss after going four miles. After travelling from the night of the 15th to that of the 19th, supplies were met at Salem. Meantime the troops were obliged to live off the country. On the 20th the expedition reached Lagrange, witha loss, all told, of less than 500 men. Not @punor a wagon was lost do- ring the expedition. The rebel loss cannot be less than 4,000. Despatches captured by Gen. Hatch admit a loss of 2,100. The wounded are being brought to Memphis. The expedition returned solely on account of the exhaustion of supplies. ‘e brought in 2,000 prisoners. The rebel dead were buried - by our troops on several occasions. The steamer St. Cloud, trom White river, arrived at Memphis on the 2ist, bringing the first news of the raid from that river for over a week. She reports the river free of guer- rillas, and all the boats in the stream safe, Six were on the way down, among them the Commercial, with six hundred bales of cotton. The Memphis cotton market was more ac- tive, stock limited, and offerings readily taken. Good middling, $1.46; strictly middling, $1.43; middling, $1.41. FROM EUROPE. The Dano-German Question—Movements of the Germans—Advance in the Rebel Loan, New York, July 24.—The steamship Mara- thon, from Liverpool on the 12th, and Queens- town on the 13th, arrived at noon. Lonpon, July 12.—Consols closed at 90X¥a 90%. A reduction in bank rates is expected. ‘The United States corvette St. Louis was at Madeira on the 2a ot Jaly. The decided majority for the Ministry, in Parliament, it is considered, settles the opposi- tion for the remainder of the session, which will close the end of July. Lord Palmerston, in response to an inquiry, said the Government believed that the Ger- ae had no intention of attacking Copen- agen. Colley Grattan, the author, is dead. A new Danish ministry is provisionally con- stituted under the presidency of Count Charles Moltke. Several important posts are yet vacant. The London Morning Post thinks that the summening of such a reactionary leader to power and the despatch of the King’s brother to Berlin means peace, on the basis, probably, of the admission of Denmark into the Germanic Becton a) @ measure which France for- ids. Other rumors of peacé negotiations are of- fered, but nothing authentic. A certain amount of panic preyailed at Co- penhagen. The war journals were calling for an aban- donment of the territories and the concentra. tion of the forces in Jutland. The Germans had commenced crossing at Lym Ford. Anadvyance into North Jutland had apparently eommenced. The ‘Gonfederate loan ha@ advanced to 76. Terrible Colliery Accident.

It is possible the whole matter will be venti- lated in a few days. The affair at Pittsburg, Olinton county, on ieee ay > Was not so bad as previously re- ported. After Capt. Turner's death, Capt.

We have direct information from Sherman’s headquarters up to Monday evhning, whichis of the highest importance. On Sunday last our army commenced moving, but not directly upon Atlanta, Sherman choosing to flank that place, as he had flanked all the other rebel po- sitions south of Dalton. On Monday morning Decatur, 8 station on the Augusta Ratlroad, directly east of Atlanta, was occupied by our forces, and our positions were immediately fortified. This cuts off all rebel communication with South Carolina, except by way of Macon; and how long that will be left undisturbed we do not know. The situation is growing more and more favorable, and we have no doubt but we shall not only soon hear of the capture of Atlanta, but of a great number of rebel prison- ers. Deserters and stragglers have been coming into our lines since we crossed the Chattahoo- chee el ee numbers They represent thatal) hope saving Atlanta has disappeared.— Nashville Union, July 21st. A dispatch from General Sherman, received in this city yesterday, announces that a san- guinary battle occurred day before yesterday, near Decatur, which resulted in an important victory to our arms. We have as yet no par- ticulars, saye the result. The General says: «The enemy attacked General Thomas fiercely, and were handsomely repulsed, and roughly handled.” Further details may be expected soon. The two armies are now on level ground, and the fighting is more nearly equal than heretofere. We have no doubt but that the rebel army will be speedily overwhelmed.— Nashville Union, 22d. ARMY OF THE POTOMALC. General W. F. Smith Relieved by General Martindale. Major General W. F.Smith has been relieved from command of the 18th army corps. The following is his farewell address to his troops, and also the announcement of General Mar- tindale that he has succeeded to the command temporarily: ADDRESS OF GENERAL SMITH. HEADQUARTERS EIGHTEENTH ARMY CORPS, July 20, 1864.—T7o the officers and soldiers of the Eighteenth Army Corps: I part from you, in ac- cordance with the orders of the Lieutenant General commanding the armies of the United States, with great regret; and my highest pride is that you will share my feelings. Since I haye been commander, I have triéd to share with you your dangers, and have rejoiced with you in yourgallant deeds. During this time your record has been bright and unsullied. wr. Saan all that von mia wish, I can assure been trom no short- coming of yours, andI trust you will believe I have been no more culpable than yourselves, May God bless and always crown your efforts With vietory. Wm. F. Sars, Msjor General. Ww. Russet, Jz., Major and A. A. G. ADDRESS OF GENERAL MARTINDALE. HEaDQUARTERS ISTH ARMY Corps, July 20— To the officers and soldiers of the 18th Army Corps: Sincerely regretting that any circumstances or necessity should deprive us of our late com- mander and his able leadership, by virtue of special order No. 61, paragraph 3, from head- quarters of the armies of the United States, 1 hereby assume temporary command of the 18th army corps. Il have only to ask that officers and men will be mindful of the favorable rep- utation which they haveacquired by their past conduct, and be inspired with resolution to maintain it in the future. J. H. MARTINDALE, Brigadier General Commanding. FINanciaL.—_The New York Express of Saturday evening says: The money market continues to work easier, and the banks are more disposed to loan tostock brokers. The Treasury Department is paying out the compound interest notes quite rapidly, as well as the reserve of legal tenders. Thisis being felt in all quarters and is the main cause for the increasing ease. The tide of specniation is now setting in to- wards the Stock Exchange, and present indi- cations are favorable for the higher prices, not very distant in the future. Atthe First Board this morning the share Market was strong and rather better in some cases. There was considerable purchases to cover short lines, and more disposition to ope- rate for a rise. The Commercial Advertiser says: The money market shows greater ease. The banks are recruiting their resources from their temporary loans at the Sub-Treasury, and are atthe same time receiving increased deposits. from the interior. Money is offered more treely,. and, to first-class borrowers, would be lent at six per cent.on call. There is, however, very little demand from the class to which lenders are most desirous to loan. Transactions are mostly at seven per cent. on call loans. Gold is weak under the reports of General Sherman haying occupied Atlanta. The mar- ket shows more than ordinary sensitiveness to rumors, and “bull? operators are not very sanguine. ——___-<0 2 >__ OFFICIAL.
