tself. The alarm, however, proved to be false, the vessels in the offing proving to be laden with the Seventy-first and other New York regiments; so that, after an unpremeditated trial of our readiness for action, we were permitted to retire to our virtuous coaches, which means, permit me to say, a blanket on the floor, with a military overcoat over you, and a nasal concert all around you, that, in noise and number, outvies Musard's celebrated concerts monstres. On the morning of the 24th of April we started on what afterwards proved to be one of the hardest marches on record. The Secessionists of Annapolis and the surrounding district had threatened to cut us off in our march, and even went so far as to say that they would attack our quarters. This, of course, was the drunken Southern ebullition. A civilian told me that he met in the streets of Annapolis two cavalry soldiers who came to cut our throats without delay, but as each brave warrior was endeavoring to hold the other

McRae, Esq., who came here last night, bears a special order for one regiment of North Carolina troops to march to the city of Washington. They are to be ready in forty-eight hours from the notice. This is by o-throats from the White House. It makes good the words of Secretary Walker at Montgomery in regard to the Federal Metropolis. It transfers the lines of battle from the Potomac to the Pennsylvania border. From the Raleigh (N. C.) Standard, of April 24. North Carolina will send her full quota of troops to unite in the attack on Washington city. Our streets are alive with soldiers and officers, many of the latter being here to tender their companies to the Governor. Washington city will so

ly the same, being a series of eight or ten ovens and upper rooms, on either side of a passage about 100 feet by 15, and 12 in hight. The thermometer in any part is not less than 24° Reaumer (86° Fah.); but the average heat in the ovens does not reach the temperature of fowls, which is 32° Reaumer. Excessive heat or cold are equally prejudicial to this process, and the only season of the year at which they succeed is from the 15th of Imsheer (23d of February) to the 15th of Baramoodeh (24th of April), beyond which time they cannot reckon upon a sufficient percentage to make it a paying business. The illustration A (Fig. 2666) shows the modern Egyptian oven for hatching eggs. a is the entrance room, and b the passage between the rows of ovens on each side. The chamber c for the eggs is below the one d in which the fires are made in troughs alongside the walls, the heated air passing to the chamber below by a hole in the floor dividing the two apartments.
