Be (From the New York Times, May 4.] Tux Fing Kinc.— A few invited guests were treated to a novel spectacle yesterday afternoon at Jones’s Wood. Signor Oristoforo Buono Core was kind enough to roast himself for their private gratification. A neat little bower was constructed of chip and brushwood, and a gentleman, probably ® young salamander, 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 young sala- mander to look red in the fa he old salaman- der began to make himself athome. He stepped into the roaring mass, walked leisurely among the flames, made his appearance at the four entrances of the structure, and remained fizzing and cooking until the light material was sll consumed. Wher- ever the flames were fiercest he plroed himself, and although his helmet cracked and hugh blisters of ag saline character bulged out on it. he himself was safe and sound; neither spent in wind nor flushed in face. Such a contrivance certainly merits at- tention in a humanitarian point of view. The fire Sener tnient. in particular, should look into the matter. THE ITALIAN SALAMANDER, {From the New York Daily News, May #.] The most remarkable exhibition which we have had the good fortune to witness for-a long time, took place at Jones’s Wood on Wednesday after: noon. Oristoforo Buono Gore, who has created great excitement 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 select number of gentlemen of the wonderful merits of adress which he has ine 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 tame, This he putson, of course, before goinginto 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 whole becomes, as it were, one body of flame, he enters, traverses the several narrow burning avenues, passing in and out at each Opening with apparent ease and perfectly un harmed. Boon after the wood had been fired the heat was so great that the spectator could not stand to it than eight or ten yards, and at that dist only with great discomfort.’ All who saw the ex- persment were porteedy satisfied that he could do allhe promised, In fact, he appeared to be the only dissatisfied person on the ground, for the rea. son tbat the fire was not hot enough for hi exhibition will be repeated on Wednesda Ghd the proprietor of the grounds has made lite preparations for the enjoyment of visitors, A_FIRE KING. {From the New York Sun, May 19.} Yesterdszy a number of newspaper reporters and other persons visited Jones’ ‘ood to see an Ital- ian, 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 laya large pile of light brushwood. This was ig- nited. The Italian then unconcernedly walked through the burning mass, remaining amid the fiames until the wood bad been consumed, The exhibition completely demonstrated the prictica- bility of persons walXing through fire onharmed, when elothed in fire-proof garments. On uncoy_ ering, Signor Core was discovered ina state of profuse perspiration and in no wise injured by the experiment, KING—REMARKA. - THE FIRE G Oy RKABLE EXHIBI {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 gentleman who styled himself Christoforo Bu- ono Gore, or the Fire King, who stood in the midst of a fierce fire for nearly half an hour, thoroughly establishing his claim to the title he has assumed. The entertainment was quite curious, but the Sig- nor has 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 bis invention merits the attention of those interest- ed—and who is not ’—in the saving of human life, A SALAMANDER. [arom the Brookiyn 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 theae manifestations are of no practical utility, except to the exhibit- ors, who are reaping @ rich harvest from the cred- ulous, Bomething that is at once cnrions and useful has, however, been brought to public no- tice. A Signor Buono Core has invented a fire- roof suit,in which he can walk into a burnin, failding with flames playing around him and feel: no inconvenience. This discovery may be of great service. Itis not expected that every one wit at once order a salamander outiit, and keep it in the house in case of fire, but it will be a good thing for each fire company to be provided with a suit, which will enable the wearer to enter burning buildings, save property, extinguishing fires. and assist materially in {From the Evening Exp: May 2.) Have we s salamander among us? If bya sala- mander is meanta living being which can walk unharmed, like the three young men in the Scrip- ture story, through a fiery farnace, and come out unscathed, we think Signor Buono ore is taitly entitled to the appellation, albeit the common no- tion that the little reptile from which he de- rives it can do the like with Sty, isa fabu- lous idea. A few days ago the Signor invited a party to go upto Jones’s Wood and witness a de- monstration of his right to be considered a mod- ern Abednego. He entered an iron cage around, over, and upen which an intensely hot fire was burning all the while, and made Ce ed quite at home therein, for somespaee. Nor did he seem to care more for the exposure than if he were walking like Adam in Eden, in a garden in the cool of 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 Qourier, May 21.) Signor Buone Gore on Wednesdav last gave a rivate exhibition to the members of the press at lones’s Wood. His arrangement consists of a light irom frame work, standing about ten feet high, with exits and entrances at each end and nice, whichis lentifally Of red with Brpakwoon ; sapli ings, an ress Somewhat re- femb Ete that of the submarine diver, A young gentleman, evidently disposed to make light of the sffair, distribu lucifer matches among thore present, with sesenest to assist in firing the pile, which was speedily accomplished, and as the heat drove the crowd backward, Buenc accoutered in novel dress, with a‘ mar- Pores te entered the dames, which.

FROM THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY. oe Returnof the Raiders—Co —A Word of Ca Battrmore, July 26.—The authorities here Tequem the ne apers and correspondents to refrain publishing rumors of movements either of the rebels or Wnion troops. There are many wild reports to-day and to- night, but I have the best reason to believe them unfounded. Latest News. [Associated Press Dispatch.} Batrmorg, July 2%6.—It is extremely diffi- cult to obtain any authentic information réla- tivevto affairs on the Upper Potomac, and rebel movements in the Valley. By far the greater part of the rumors and even positive state- ments hourly putin circulation here are evi- dently talse, and therefore not worth popeane, From all the information thus far obtained, it is believed that it will be found thatthe rebel force at present in the Valley, and reported at Martinsburg and other points, is none other than the recent raiding force which, finding they were no longer pursued by a large force, su senly retraced their steps and fell upon our small force under General Crook, with the object of driving him back beyond the Potomac and the freeing the Valley from Federal troops, enabling the rebels to gather in the crops of the Valley, so vitally important to Lee’sarmy. Doubtless they purpose at the same time do- ing all the mischief they can north of the Poto- mac, and may, it is thought, attempt a raid in the southern counties of Pennsylvania. It is believed, to-night, that the wild stories so ex- tensively circulated here last night and to-day of disaster to our forces by encountering this rebel advance have little foundation in fact. The extent of the news, it is believed, will be found to be that Gen. Crook was, after a sharp contest, compelled to fall back before a supe- Tior force, with no serious loss. The reported loss of guns does not appear toreston anything more than rumor, and we have now counter reports that he saved all his guns. The telegraph line is working west as far as Harper's Ferry, but is in exclusive use of the military authorities, Trains are running safely to Frederick and Harper’s Ferry. There is no excitement here, and very little apprehension, though, of course, proper pre- cautiqnary measures are in progress, ing Reports THE RAID ON THE MONTGOMERY AND WEST POINT RAILROAD. The following has been received from Gen. Rougseau’s expedition: “Marietta, GA., July 24, 1861.—To the As- sistant Adjutant General, District of Tennessee: We arrived here day betere yesterday, and have been eminentiy successful, and have ex- ecuted the orders of Gen. Sherman to the let- ter. Our loss does not exceed twelve in Latics wounded. I start to-day tor Nash- ville. On the 22d, Gen. Sherman announced, in a circular to his army, that Gen. Rousseau had been entirely successful. The important expedition against the Mont- gomery and West Point railroad, the success of which is thus officially announced, was projected by Gen. Rousseau when Gen. Sher- man was preparing to depart on his great raid through Mississippi, in the early part of this year, put for various military reasons its exe- cution was postponed until the present month. On the 30th ultimo Gen. Sherman revived the project, as an important auxiliary to his grand movement upon Atianta, his object being to cut the railroad between Columbus, Ga., and Montgamery, Ala., so effectually as to destroy ‘permanently the rebel communications be- tween those points. Abundant preparations were made for the destruction of the ties, rails, bridges, culverts, water tanks, depot buildings, locomotives, arsenals, Government machine shops, &c. ADDITIONAL FOREIGN NEWS. FarTHER Point, July 26—The Belgian re- portsthat the steamer Hansa arrived out on the 15th inst. A letter from Calais says that the Contede- rate steamer Rappahannock, at that port, badjudgment pronounced against her by the Boulogne Chamber of Commerce for com- mercial debts contracted by her captain and officers; that the Board attempted to fix the notice of sale, but that they were prevented by the captain, and had to draw up a process ‘verbal.’ Captain Semmes was traveling incognito in Ireland. DANO GERMAN AFFAIRS. It is confirmed that Denmark has proposed an armistice with a view to peace negotiations. The belief is generally entertainea that a peace will soon be concinuded. It is reported that King Christian proposesin the peace propositions to include the transfer of the Danish navy, on conditiou ot his re- maining King of Denmark, under the protec- tion of the German Confederation. The new Danish Ministry have sent a mes- sage to the Rigsraad, of which the following is summary: “The King, deeming that men unconcerned in late events would be better able to save our Fatherland, has decided upon a change of ministers. ««We hope to obtain the confidence of the Rigsraad amd of the people. Otherwise we shall be powerless to lay down a programme atpresent. It would be impossible to do so. The new ministers can only give assurance that, in taking their stand firmly upon legal ground, they will never advise the King to adopt an illegal measure.”” The message con- cludes by saying that Ministers will consider it their mission to uphold the independence of Denmark. The independence Belge asserts that the King of Denmark has invoked and obtained the intervention of the Emperor Napoleon. COMMERCIAL.

We therefore give the following synopms of the requirements of the law, embracing some things hitherto touched upon and others not yet noticed: First. The exemptions of the original act to fathers of motherless children twelve years ef age, to some members of families in which others are in service, to sons who are the sup- port of aged and destitute parents, and for other similar causes, are no longer allowed. Second. The commutation clause, by which & person who was drafted might be released upon payment of three hundred dolirrs, is repealed, with @ single exception in the case of persons conscientiously opposed to bearing arms, who may commute upon payment of three hundred dollars, or otherwise be con- sidered as “non-combatant,” and if drafted be held to service for hospital duty, or in the care of freedmen. Persons physically incapa- ble of duty are exempted upon surgical exam- ination. Third. The division of citizens into two classes, the second class not being liable to service until the first class was exhausted, is abolished, and all citizens liable are enrolled in the same class and may be held to similar service. Fourth. The age of liability to draft is be- tween twenty and forty-five years. Fifth. Volunteers muy be received who are between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years. Youths between sixteen and eighteen years may be received with the consent of their parents or guardians. The enlistment of boys under sixteen years of age is a military offense in the officer who recruits them, who may be punished therefor. Sixth. Volunteers, whether white or colored, receive the Government bounty, according to the time for which they agree to serve. for one year, $100; for two years, $200; for three years, $300. These amounts are paid in instal- ments. Toa one year’s volunteer, when mus- tered in, $33 33; to atwo years’ recruit, $66 66; to a three years’ recruit, $10). Two other in- stalments are to be paid te the volunteer or his representatives during the term of service. Seventh. The monthly pay of a private, either volunteer, substitute or drafted man, is sixteen dollars & month. Non-commissioned and commiesioned officers receive an increased pay beyond the rates which were allowed be- fore the last session of Congress. Eighth. Drafted men receive no bounties from the Federal Government, and we presume they will not receive any from the town or county to which they belong. Ninth. Substitutes for drafted men, or for men liable to draft, furnished in advance of the draft, receive no bounties from the Gov- ernment. Tenth. Representative substitutes for per- sons not liable to draft, are considered as yol- unteers, and receive the Federal and manici- pal bounties, and whateyer their principal S7” A nice thing in bonnets—the face. agrees to pay them. Eleventh. Volunteers and representative substitutes may be mustered in for one, two, or three years, as they may elect. Twelfth. Substitutes for drafted men, or men liable to draft, may be accepted for one, two or three years, according to the time that the principal would have to serve, or ashe may engage them. Thirteenth. Representative substitutes for persons not liable to draft may be persons who are liable to draft. Fourteenth. Substitutes for persons liable to dratt, turnished before drafting, must not them- selves be liable. They may either be aliens, yeterans or sailors, who have served two years and been honorably discharged, or the cilizens of the States in rebellion, or the slaves of rebel owners. Fifteenth. The principal shall be exempt from dratt during the time that the said sab- stitute is not liable to draft, not exceeding the time for which the substitute shall be ac— cepted. . Sixteenth. The United States no longer pays premiums for the procuration of recruits. Seventeenth. Men furnished under the call ot July 18, 1864, whether enlisted for one, two or three years, as wellas all excess or defici- ency of three years’ men on catis heretofore made, will count man forman. The equal- ization of the amount of military service ren- dered by the different States and parts os States ‘will be effected hereafter. Eighteenth. A substitute for an enrolled man. is credited, and, therefore, deducted from the quota of the locality he enlists in. Nineteenth. An enrolled man furnishing an alien as a substitute is exempt for the time of service of the substitute; unless the alien be- comes a citizen, or declares his intention to be-~ come so, in which case the substitute is liable to drait, and his principal likewise. Twentieth. A man may enlist in the army or navy for three years as a substitute. If in the navy, he must be twenty-three years old. Twenty-first. Recruiting agents in Rebel States must have a letter of appointment from , the State Executive. The particular field of & State in which the agent is to operateis to be specified in the letter of appointment. All re- cruiting agents will be subject to the rulesand. articles of war. It is made the duty of the commanding officers of rendezvous, to order back to his State or arrest amd hold for trial, as he may deem§ best, any recruiting agent who shall commit frauds upon the Government or recruits, or who shall violate the instructions issued to govern this recruit- ment, or be guilty of any offense against mili- tary iaw. No man sball be recruited who is already in the military service as & soldier, teamster, laborer, guide, 4&c., or who is soem- ployed by the military anthorities as to be of importance to military operations, Recruits procured under this privilege must be deliy- ered by the recruiting agents at one of the follow: m3 named rendezvous, namely:—Camp Casey, Washington, D. C., for Northeast Vir- ginia; Camp near Fortress Monroe for South. east Virginia; Camp Newbern, N. ©. for North Carolina; eer Hilton Head, S. for South Carolina and Florida; Camp Vicksburg, Miss., for Mississippi; and Camp Nashville, Tenn., for Georgia and Alabama. Twenty-second. If it is desired to putany of the volunteer recruits from the rebellious States into service as substitutes before or after the draft, they must be sent without expense to the Government by the recruiting agent to the district in which the principal is enrolled, and there be mustered in by the Provost Marshal, who will issue the proper substitution ers. It is made the duty of commanding officers to afford to recruiting agents all such facilities as they can provide, without detriment to the public service, and to prevent recruiting by unaw parties. Twenty-third. The enlistment of hundred day men does not operate to reduce the labili- ty of the district from which he volunteers. But if any bundred day man is drafted his hundr@ day’s service counts in reducing his ‘wenty-fourth. Althongh the volunteers taken for one, two er three years, the draft is for one year. ; There is sufficient in these ‘statements, we himeelf.—.
