some school examination at Cambridge, lt adds:
"The girls made no sttempt at all to general, to
explain the meanii.g or reason of the rales—in
short, tbey knew little ol ciphering and nothing
of arithmetic. Tbis is exactly what we mighttex-
pect. Girls need the logic of mathematics more,
aod Ilka it less tban any other study. Their minds
are strategical. They like to turn tbe flank Oi •
difficulty, not to fight tt.
It Is noted we bave all Western generals, as
Grant, Sherman, McPbersoo, and others. There is
another thing noted, aod tbat le tbe brilliant manner in whioh tVest Point shines in these late engagements, and this is equally true of the enem y,
as in the case of Lee, Beauregard, Johnston aod
Others.. It will not do hereafter to undervalue a

Mr. Weed, tbe obliging operator bere, banded us
tbe following dispatch on tbe evening of tbe 16tb:
July 16—Tbere seems to be considerable excite
ment at San Jose to-day ia consequence of tbe capture of three of tbe Placerville stage robbers last
nigbt. Tbe particulars as given me by the operator there (Mr. Heed) are as follows :
Tbe three robbers went to a house near San Jose
last night, where one of them had worked as a
hired band some time previous, aud demanded food
and accommodation for the night, telling the man
of the house that tbey would kill him either if^he
refused to comply with tbeir wishes, or if he sbould
expose them to tbe authorities. Tbey also told
bim further, that tbey were but a part of tbe regu
larly organized band tbat bad its followers all
tbrongh the State, aod tbat any one wbo attacked
them was certain to be killed. Whilst they were
talking, the gentleman's brother wbo bad been a
listener In an adjoining room stepped ont tbe back
door and came to town where ha told tbe authorities wbat had happened. Tbe sheriff and deputy
marshal collected a posse aod started at once for
tbe bouse. Arriving at the scene of disturbance,
tbe officers threw open the doors and told tbe robbers to surrender as their prisoners. Tbey drew
tbeir revolvers, wben some forty shots were fired-
One of the robbers was killed, one wounded, and
tbe third Is now In prison. His clothes were riddled by bullets, bat strange to say, be escaped being bit, and is now in jail. The sheriff aod marshal were both wounded, but oot dangerously. Tbe
sheriff's watch saved his lile, as a shot struck and
glanced into bis leg. The dead robber is tbe man
wbo Bhotand killed tbe sheriff of Placerville.
It is thought the robbers were on the lookout for
a few thousand dollars wbich was to bave been sent
to the Almaden mines today ; and It Is intimated
that there is ground for belief that tbey expected
co-operation from some of their band at San Jose.
Tbe citizens believe there is some kind of baud,
and tbey say tbat Harpenfling is its chief.

EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.
DATES TO   WEDNESDAY. JDUB   27TH,
New York, July 8.—Semmes's official report of
the fight of tbe Alabama with tbe Kearsage says:
Witbin 10 to 15 minutes from the commencement
of tbe fight, the firing became verv bot, and the
enemy's shot and shell soon began to fell upon our
boll, knocking down, killing and disabling a number of men in different parts of the ship. Perceiving that oar shell, though hitting, did bnt
little exeoutioo, resort was made to solid shot, alternating witb shall. After ao hour and 40 minutes
our ship was ascertained to be in a sinking condition, the enemy's shell having exploded .in onr
sides between'decks, opening a large aperture
through which the water rushed with gret rapidity. I bad hopes of being able to reach the coast,
for wbioh purpose I gave the ship all the steam
and set sorb fore and aft sails tbat were available.
Thejsbip lied so rapidly, however, tbat before we
made much progress tbe fires were extinguished,
aod we were evideotly sinking. I now hauled
down the colors to prevent farther destruction of
life, and sent a despatoh to loform the enemy of
our condition.
Semmes says that the Kearsage fired upon him
five times after the colors were struck,
Speaking of the comparative strength ofthe
vessels, he says that tbe Kearsage Is heavier than
tbe Alabama in ber batteries, etc., tbe former being armored witb double rows of chains slnng
along tbe sides, and could have withstood the fir-
log of tbe Alabama all  day.
New York, July 8.—Le France says that the
Kearsage, oo returning to Cberburg on Sunday
afternoon, landed 65 of Ibe crew of tbe Alabama
15 of them wounded.
Tbe Parts correspondent of the Commercial says
tbat Capt. Winslow still claims Semmes as a prisoner, and will invite bim to deliver bimself op,
making it a personal question between officer and
officer. Tbe men bave been released on parole
never to fight against tbe United States. Capt.
Wioslow did fire after the white flag was bolated,
but it was owing to Its not being seen,

Robbery of tbe Lut Angeles Stage.
Oa laBt Wednesday night, 6th of July, about
twenty-two miles south of San Juan, 00 the Salinas Plain, the stage going to Los Angeles was
stopped by two highwaymen and the passengers
In the stage, who were relieved of all the change
they bad, not exceeding.it is thought, sixty dollars.
One man, a Spaniard, who had given np $8 10
oomplained tbat he had nothing to buy grub with.
The robbers said bere, "Take this two dollars and
a ball piece." But the unfortunate bombre found
on the appearance of daylight lbat tt was only a
ten ceot piece, wbioh was returned to him.
On Saturday morning at half past one o'clock
the same two robbers, witbin a hundred yards of
the same spot, stopped the stage 00 his way up to
San Jose,and robbed tbe passengeis. There were
eight men aud one lady inside the stage, and tha
driver and roadmaeter on the outside. The stage
bad been traveling fast for some miles, when it
came npon a sandy part of the road, where there
was a cluster of trees. Both robbers sprang from
behind the trees, leveled a gan and pistol and
cried, 'Stop yoor horses I*' One said, "Give ua
your express." The driver took tbe box aDd threw
it down, aod said 'There it is." The otber robber
opened tba curtain of tbe stage, aod presenting a
revolver, said, "Come oat with yonr money, men."
Hollister of Los Aogeles, palled oat bis parse,
and said, "Tbere is mine," handing it to the robber. It OOntaiued between $7 and $10. Tbe next
man eaid, "I am sick and bave got oo money." Aa
Irishman also made the same reply ; so also did
the rest of the pissengers make the same reply.
The robber theo said he could oot stand the press,
aod told Jo. Patton to shell oat. Patton aaid bo
was "sick" and bad no money, but he had prudently slipped $18 60 back of his seat. Tbe robber
theo addressed H. Goldstein, aod told him to coma
oot ol the stage ; he would examine him. Gold's
stein got out aod said, "This is all tbe money I
have," showing $2 50 in silver.   The robber said,
"Turn your pockets," and Goldsteio turned them.
He then inquired it he had no more money about
bim, and Goldstein told him that be had no more.
The robber eaid, You have no business to travel
this road witb oat money." Goldsteio dropped
bis gold watch iu tbe sand, uo observed by the toners, wbioh be afterwards recovered by going back
from the statioo two aod a balf miles from the
scene ol tbe r< bbery, early In tbe morning; ba
also saved $40 in gold by dropping it in bis boot
belore geting out of the stage. Tbe otber robber
came up aod said "How much money has this man
Goldstein got?" His friend told him $260; Tba
fiist speaker said, "Give it back to him." "No, wa
bad better keep it, for we will need it OB tha road.**
Tbe stage agent told tbe robber tbat he would ba
obliged to bim if be would give op the letters la
the express, when the robber politely replied,
"CertainIy we will accommodate yeu at once." Tha
robber went off about fifty yards, aod broke tho
box open witb a hatchet, aod 00 his retnrn he presented lbe box to tbe driver, wbo a-ked the robber
if be got mur'b money out of the express, and be
said. "No a d—d cent!" The dr ver tben asked If
tbey got as much money this time, as tbey did
when they robbed tbe passengers on Wednesday
night aod tbe robber replied tbat they did not:
did not get muob either time ; damn poor orowd
both times. Alter this tbe agent Invited tbe robbers to take a drink out of his flask, whioh they
did. and then said, while poioting their guns towards tbe stage. "Boys, you can go ahead now;

Queer Munitions of War I—A correspondent
of tbo St. Louis Republican writes from Alexan-.
dria. La., that among otber'traps" captured by
General Dick Taylor, Id Back's provision train,
were two wagon loads of white paper collars 1 that
were afterwards sent back 10 Banks, by a flag of
truce, with the lollowing jocular letter Itom Gen.
Taylor: a'
■f 'have boiled, fried, baked and stewed these
things, aod can do nothing with tbem. We cannot eat tbem. Tbey are a luxury for which we
have no use, and I would Ilka, therefore, to exchange them for a like quantity of hard tack.
Tbe circumstance created a great deal of merriment among tbe soldiers—and when the Western troops, a few days afterwards, were passsing
bead-quarters, they sung out, "bow about thoso
paper collars?"
A rebel courier from Taylor to Magruder was
captured a few days after the battle, and a note
found oo bim to tbe following efl.et:
"I thank yoa fcr yonr kind offer to furnish too
and my army with supplies But 1 bave plenty on
hand. Your offer oame a little loo late. My efficient commssary, N. P. Banks, baa supplied ma
abundautly."
From all accounts, it is veiy evident that General Banks is not much of a military man ; and
ihe writer alluded to says tbat the regular officers
of tbe army do Dot hesitate to attribute their want
of success to b ia embecility te tbe field.— [New
Haven Register.
Why Jobs P. Hale waa Defeated.—Hale's defeat lor the Senatorsbip was unexpected and surprised many of his admirers. He had been true
to bis party, worked lor it io its adveiaity and
bis devotion to it bas never beeo questioned. Bo
was soo'id 00 tbe platform. Why, tben, was he
defeated! Tbe question is easily answered. In a
speech in the Senate a few weeks before lbe election, he manfully exposed tbe corruption of loyal
shoddy swindlers,and they and their lackeys defeated bim. Id the speech alluded to, Hale says:
"He bad been arraigned for bis denunciation of
fraud, corruption and profligacy, as opposed to
this administration. His support of the administration could not be appreciated by tbe theives
aod plunderers lhat cling around it. Tbey conld
only appreciate tbe administration so long aa
tbey could rob it. Such men in his opinion, committed a crime second ooly to those in arms
against the Government."
This jut and tearless denunciation of the "thieves
and plunderers" of tbe Governmot arrayed tba
whole loyal brood against him, and wilb their
stolen wealth, tbey bribed tbeir loyal Iriends ia
the Legislature to vote aginst bim. Tbey aro
getting riek by robbing the Government and by
ihe olamiiy which is reducing everybody else to
pi verty, and tbey want no Senator in Congress
wbo bas tbe eoorage and the honesty to expose
their villainy .-^Mountain Jkmoerai.
