Out of ten thousand regular physicians you can- not find ene who will not say that Stimulants and Invizorants are absolutely necessary in medical practice. And yet in by-gone years humane prac- titioners have hesitated to administer them, be- cause the fiendish ingenuity of wretches who make merchandise of human infirmities, bad so polluted and deteriorated them that the remedy was deemed as dangerous as the disease. This perplexity is happily done away with.

All the way from Chicago, on the road, tuneral arches were erected and mourning emblews displayed. An immense crowd assembled at the principal depot here. The remains were conveyed to the Capitol, where the apartments were decorated in the most elaborate manner. Deep solemnity prevailed, bells tolled, and minute guns were fired. Thousands of per- sons were here from adjoining States, con- tributing toswell the proportions of the vast multitude which assembled to honor the illus- trious dead. SPRINGFIELD, ILL., May 3.—The remainsof the President are very much changed since they left Washington, The tears shed attest the depth of grief which affects the hearts of those who were so well acquainted with their martyred citizen. Captain Robert Lincoln ar- rived to-night. During to-day upwards of five thousand persons visited the former residence of President Lincoln. To-morrow there will be a grand military and civic funeral proces- sion to escort the remains of the late President to their last resting-place.

Jeff. hasone day’s start of Stoneman. Davis is escorted by two thousand cavalry, well mounted, and commanded by General Dibbrell. He is accompanied by Benjamin, Breckinridge, and other notorious characters, and will probably be joined by all the dsspe- radoes fleeing from justice and from the ven- gence of the United States Government. Itis hoped that General Stoneman’s forces will overtake and capture him,as be is burdened with eleven wagons, supposed to contain specie. FROM MISSOURI. No Invasion Threatened.

There were brought to this city yesterday moerning from Calvert county, Md.,in charge of an armed guard of soldiers, under Lieut. O’Brien, two citizens of that county, viz:—Dr. Nathan W. Browne, and William Cochran, and three other men, upon the charge of having been concerned in the reeant assassination of United States soldiers, for some time past stationed in the above county. While at the office of Col. John Wooley, Provost Morshal, Cochran acknowledged to him and others that for months past he had bem in a starving con- @ition, which being known to Browne and others, he was offered large sums of money if he would take the lives 0! certain soldiers. He accepted the terrible bribe, and deliberately assassinated two soldiers whilst they were doing picket duty. For killing the first soldier, Cochran received $175, and was to have been paid $500 for the murder of the other, but was apprehended before the money was ‘paid. The parties charged with this terrible crime ‘Were taken to Washington yesterday afternoon under a strong guard, and arenow secured in in the Old Oapitol Prison, where an examina- tion willsoon be had. A faw nights since, whilst Lient. O’Brien, superintendent of the Govern. ment farms in the lower counties, was riding through the county, hejwas shot at by a con- cealed foe, but fortunately escaped injury,. His horse, however, a valuable animal, was Killed. Rebels in the lower counties within the past two weeks itis reported have become exceedingly defiant and dangerous, and be- sides committing depredations upon the in- habitants of the counties, have been slaughter- ing numbers of cattle belonging to the Govern- ment, and after removing the choice pieces, abandon the remainder to dogs andbirc of prey.—Baltimere American, 4th. §7 Parties in California propose to introduce paper manufacturing machinery trom this country into China, in order to precure sup- phes of paper from that country, where it is maade of excellent quality from the fibres of the bamboo and mulberry trees.

From the New Orleans Times, April 25.) ‘he daring and fool-hardy attempt of the Tebel steamer W.H. Webb to Lege the gaunt- let of the Fede! fleet on the Mississippi, Well-nigh prov successfal, but owing to vigilance, combined with good fortune, the effert failed. The Webb was seen passing the city under a fall head of steam Monday morn- ing. The excitement was intense, and aston- ished crowds ran on the levee to witness the extraordinary sight. The first we believe that discovered the sinister purpose of the ram and compelled it to show its true colors, were the officers on board the Lackawanna. As the sam rounded the point, some old tars, possessed with a sharp lookont for things and matters in a very general neutical way, squinted a far off a “black squall.” Officers at the same time thought the craft coming on, smoking and puffing so savagely, should have a sort of passport to show the honest intention of such extraordinary haste. The Lackawanna ac- cordingly, as asort of gentle hint, senta two nundred and fifty pound ball, which strack her on the port bow, and piercing through, went ont from the snposie side. She passed still, and with the rebel flag now hoisted, ap- peared to defy everything and everybody else in general. The only boat that was actually prepared to follow (so far as we can learn) was the Hollyhock, Lieutenant Commander Gherardi, with a detachment from the Lacka- wanna, under the command of the Assistant Engineer, J. B. Fort, on board as well. The boat dashed after the flying foe. The race was tie and tie. The Webb, as is well known, was always a fast boat, and gal- lantly maintained its reputation upon this tre- mendous occasion, but the noble Hollyhock clung to her like an avenging Fate. In vain ‘were the efforts of the rebel ram to elude the fast-coming ruin. Mile after mile was passed; the boats throbbed their flerce and flery way and apparently no advantage was gained on either side. Suddenly, about twenty-eight miles below the city, the gallant Hollyhock close behind her, near St. Olair’s Pass, the Webb beheld the vast proportions of the Richmond looming ap like a lion of the sea in her path. The Webb turned, but when the Hollyhock dashed straight at her she ran in shore, and the officers and crew, sptinging on the levee, fled into the swamps, first Mring the vessel in several places. Thus ended this strange and eventful history. The United States vessel sent out boats, and the Webb was boarded and every effort made to subdue the flames, but all was in vain. Upon entering the engime-room & man was found lying asleep, who had been cruelly abandoned by his comrades to a fiery death. Happily he was saved by our gallant seamen. His name is Charl:s Preston. The ram carried a most destructive torpedo rigged forward, and attempted to destroy the ordnance ship Fearnaught, but happily failed in ber attempt. The Webb left Shreveport on Monday, the 16th instant. When she arrived at Cote’s Land- ing, which is about twenty-five miles above Alexandria, she stopped and took in two hun- dred and fifty cords of pine wood. At 4.30 a. m., Saturday, she left Alexandria, and after coming down for some distance, anchored. On last Sunday she passed the fleet at the mouth of Red river. It is said that several shots were fired at her on this occasion, but without effect. She then pissed down unchallenged until she arrived in front of this city. It was here that her troubles commenced. She was armed with one 32-pound rifled gun, mounted on the fore- castle, and two 12-pound iron cannon on the quarter deck. GEN. WILSON’S EXPEDITION. Account o{ [Rebel Property Destreyed— Large pture ef Cotten, Guns, &c. {From Savapnab, Ra WB 6Ffefly announced the arrival of Capt. L. M. Hosea, of Gen. Wil- He lef ere five days ago. In the party was Brigadier Gen. Long, commanding the 2d di- vision im the assault on Selma, and one of his staff. Gen. Wilson left Chickasaw, Ala.,on tha 22d of March. On the 2d of April ne captured Selma, Ala, by assault, taking 32 pieces of artillery in posi- tion and 75 in arsenal; a large arsenal, the sec- ond in importance in the Confederacy; a naval foundry, very extensive, with valuabie fixtures, powder works, &c., &c. Ail public property ‘Was destroyed. A pontoon jbridge, 850 feet long, was built Across the Alabama river, by which Montgom- ery was reached. There the rebels burned 85 000 bales of cotton, 4 steamboats, 63 cars, 1 locomotive. Montgomery was entered with. out opposition, on the 12th of April. Columbus was captured on the 16th by as- sault on the heavy field works. Twelve hun- dred prisoners were taken, fifty-three guns in osition, One gunboat, then called the Jackson, ut thé name of which had been. recently changed, mounting six 7-inch rifles, 100,000 bales of cotton, 13 locomotives, and 100 cars. While there a portion of the column made a detour to West Point, and captured the works by assault. The attack was made by dis- mounted cavalry. They took four guns and 350 prisoners, The Confederate Gen. Tyler, commanding, was killed; 15 locomotives and 200 cars weretaken. All the captured property ‘was destroyed. Macon surrendered without assault on the 20th. The Confederate Gens. Howell Cobb, Gustavus W.Smith, Mercer, Robertson and McCall, were taken, together with a large num- ber of officers of all ranks, and 1,600 prisoners altogether. Wilson’s forcts had traveled 431 miles, marching twenty days. They took in all 182 guns in position and in the field, and 200 guns in arsenal, & large number of rolling-mills and iron foundries were destroyed, naval foundries, powder works, magazines, supply depots, &c. Selma itself was 240 miles from the base of operations. There is scarcely an officer on the staff who has not made personal captures of prisoners during the expedition. The force is made up mostly of western troops. Our losses, m all the engagements, Amount to less than 350. The enemy’s loss at Selmais estimated by themselves at from four to five hundred.

Judging from the aspect of the sent movement ,the course of prices appear jikely to be downward, until a point isreached in values that appears to afford opportunity for a renewal of operations for a rise; but there seems to be no probability that the extreme of depression will be at all near the quotations from which the recent adwance started.

The first idea we have of a manure fork 1s to remove coarse manure, but it is far betier'than aspade ina garden. Itdoes not require half the muscular strength that a shovel or space requires, and the ground can be pulverized much better. We use it alto- gether in the garden. When roots or weeds or grassspring upin®& garden, they can bere- moved more easily with a fork than in any other way. Then thereis the bighoe. We should not know how to get along without one, yet many persons never use one where we do. For dig- ging turfs by the road side, and for levelling off knolls and hemmocks on meadows, no too? is better. » There is the trowel, we think of it for plastering, yet for garden purposes no teol is better. An old axe that will not be injured by driving into the ground is always one tool for removing forest trees. Thecrowbar,which was made to handle stone, is an excellent ar- ticle toset the bean poles when the land is bard. A thin shoeknife. which has been de- signed to cut leather, is the besttoel we have ever found to cleft stocks for grafting. A bushel basketand a wheelbarrow are often better than!oxen or drag for collecting small stones on land laid down to grass.— Maine Far- mer. Management of Restive Horse. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman —a Lewis county farmer—writes: After your horse is harnessed to the carriege procure a piece of webbing as a broad strap about ten feet long, fasten it securely around the off foot belew the fetlock, then pass itup through the girths and lay theend over the dash board; see that everything is right, then standing on the off-side of the wagon take the strap in the right hand, proceed to get in; if the horse attempts to start pull on the strap, at the same time saying: *whoa;’—the strap brings his foot up and makes it a pretty effectual ‘whoa;’ slack up on the strap 8s soon as you havestopped him, and if be attempts to start again repeat the operation. When you have got good ready to start, give the horse the word and go along. Repeat the operation until the horee will stand perfectly quiet atthe word ‘whoa,’ always remember not whip your horse, but always treat him as you would a friend, with perfect kindness, and Dever say ‘whoa’ unless you want your horse to stand pe fectly still.

First, weseea patent butter or fruit-box made air and water tight by this article, there having been a patent taken out for thisimprovement. Several refineries are required to farnish enongh to make chewing gum, which is beneficial to health, and highly recommended for gonstant use in ladies’ sew- ing-circles, and amongst gossiping neigubors, &o. Agoodstory is told of a Cincinnati refiner who had several tons of paraffine on hand, “nicely {deodorized, and the demand was light. He sent a man through the towns of Ohio, and Dought all the beeswax he could get, paying about: forty cents. To one«hundred pounds of beeswax he adds five hundred pounds of paraffine, same color and consistence and geh- eral appearance, but worth fivecents a pound. Now they may detect the color, he thought, so he put it up infoil barrels, putting the brand “Star Refinery,” Cincinnati, Ohio, (the name of course, is suppressed.) He aunoints the bar- rels outside with petroleum, ships to New York to.several merchants a hundred tons of pure beeswax, with this blinder at one end of each invoice: “Boxes are scarce, and I send the wax in refined oil barrels; and you can sell the barrels.”” The wax ns well—fine lot— very uniform—smells of the barrels a little— sells at eighty-eight cents per pound. Imagine the profits—five-sixth paraffine, one-sixth bees-wax. {> Writing on April 1st, the Roman corres- pondent of the London Morning Post says: “The dinner given by the Baron de Mayendort to General McUlellan was notsuch a public plese of homage as was represented by Renter’s legram. It was nominally a return for the civilties received by Russian officers at New ~“ York. General de Montebello and the General Commandant de Ja Place were present, as well asthree or four Russian generals, the United States Minister, General Rufus King, and the Secretary of Legation, Mr. Hooker; but the entertainment appeared to have no political meaning, nor were any after-dinner speeches made. General McClellan is still in Rome.” S77 The famous oil city of Titusville must bean attractive lounging place for summer travellers.
