SYNOPSIS OF OPINIONS OF THE NEW YOPvK
PRESS.
I From the New York Time*, May 4.]
Tiib Iiaa Ki*?.? A few Invited guests wero
treated to a novel spectacle yesterday afternoon at
Jones's Wood. Signor Cristoforo 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
a young salamander, and still in the blue s?ate.set
fire to it. The wind was high, and there was soon
a good blaze, taotenoagh to force the curious back
from their positions, and to cause the young sala
mander to look red in the face. The old salaman
der began to make himself at home. He stepped
into the roaring mass, walked leisurely among the
dames, made his appearance at the fonr entrances
of the structure, and remained fizzing and cooking
uttil the light material was all consumed. Wher
ever the fiames were fiercest he plroed himself, and
although his helmet cracked and hngh blisters of
a saline character bulged out on it. he himself was
safe and sound; neither spent in wind nor Hushed
in face. Such a contrivance certainly merits at
tention in a humanitarian point of view. The fire
department, in particular, should look into the
matter.
THE ITALIAN SALAMANDER.
| From the New York Uaily News May 20.1
The most remarkable exhibition which we have
had the good fortune ?o witness for-a long time
took place at Jones's Wood on Wednesday after
noon. Cristoforo Buono Core, 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 ?iv"
an exhibition to a select number of gentlemen of
the wonderful merits of a dress which he has in
vented, and which, he claims, is not 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 fouropenings
or doorways. These he completely su rrounds and
cover? with light brushwood, which is fired, and
when the whole becomes, as it were, one body of
tlame. 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 wa?
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 w ho saw the ex
periment were per'ectly satisfied that he could do
all he promised. In fact, lie appe*red to be the
only dissatisfied person on theground, forthe rea
son tbat the tire was not hot enough for him. The
exhibition will be repeated on Wednesday nevt
and the proprietor of the grounds has male liberal
preparations for the enjoy ment of visitors.
A FIRE KING.
1 From the New York Sun, May 1ft. 1
Yesterday a number of newspaper reporters and
other persons visited Jones's Wood to see an Ital
ian. Signor Buono Core, walk unscathed through
a hot tire. About 4 o'clock the gentleman made
his appearance clothed in a suit of can vas, painted
red. Around an iron arbor, with four entrances
lay a large pile of light brushwood. This was ig
nited. The Italian then unconcernedly walked
through the burning mass, remaining amid the
flames until the wood bad been consumed. The
exhibition completely demonstrated the practica
bility of persons walking through lire unharmed
when elothed in fire proof garments. On uncov
ering, Signor Core waa discovered in a state of
profuse perspiration and in no wise injured by the
experiment.
THE FIRE KING-REMARKABLE EXHIBI
TION.
| 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 Oore, or the Fire King, who stood in the midst
of a tierce tire 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 his
invention merits the attention of those interest
ed? aad who is not??in the saving of human life.
A SALAMANDER.
[From the Brooklyn Daily Eagle, May 19 I
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 exhibit
ors, who are reaping a rich harvest from the cred
ulous. Something that is at once enrious and
useful has, however, been brought to public no
tice. A Signor Buono Core has invented a fire
proof suit, in which he can walk into a burning
building with flames playing around him and feel
no inconvenience. This discovery may be of great
service. It is not expected that every one will at
once order a salamander outlit, and keep it in the
house in case of fire, bat 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, and assist materially in
extinguishing fires.
[From the Evening Express, Mav 30.]
Have we a salamander among us ? If by a sala
mander is meant a living being which can walk
unharmed, like the three young men in the Scrip
tare story, through a fiery furnace, and come out
unscathed, we think Signor Buono Oore is fairly
entitled to the appellation, albeit the common no
tion that the little reptile from which he de
rives it can do the like with impunity ia a fabu
lous idea. A few days ago the Signor invited a
party to go up to Jones's Wood and witness a de
monstration of his right to be considered a mod
em Abednego. He entered an iron cage around,
over, and upon which an intensely hot fire whs
burning all the while, and made himself quite at
home therein, for some space. Nor did beseem
to care more for the exposure than if he were
walking like Adam in Eden, in a garden in the
cool of the evening. lie will give his first public
exhibition at Jones's Wood next Wednesday af
ternoon. It certainly ia a very carious feat.
lFrom the Saturday Courier. May 21.]
8ignor Buono Core on Wednesday last gave a
Jrivate exhibition to the members of the press at
ones's Wood. His arrangement consists of a
light iron frame work, standing about ten feet
high, with exits and entrances at each end and
sU.e, which is plentifully covered with brushwood,
saplings and shavings, and a dress somewhat re
sembling tbat of the'submarine diver.
A young gentleman, evidently disponed to make
light of the affair, distributed lucifer matches
among those present, with a request to assist in

TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.
FROM THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY.
Retua ?f the Raiders? Conflicting Reports
?A Wor< il Caution.
Baltimore, July 26.?The authorities here
request the newspapers and correspondents to
refrain from publishing rumors of movements
either of the rebels or Union troops.
There are many wild reports to-day and to
night, but I have the best reason to beliere
them unfounded.
Latest News.
[Associated Press Dispatch.j
Baltimokb, July 96.?It is extremely diffi
cult to obtain any authentic information rela
tive to 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 put in circulation here are evi
dently false, and therefore not worth repeating.
From all the information tbus far obtained, it
is believed that It will be found that the 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,
suddenly retraced their sups 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's army.
Donbtless 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 onr 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
rior force, with no serious loss.
The reported loss of guns does not appear
to rest on anything more than tumor, and we
have now counter reports that he saved all his
gnns.
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
cautionary measures are in progress.
THE RAID ON THE MONTGOMERY
AND WEST POINT RAILROAD.
The following has been received from Gen.
Rousseau's expedition:
"Marietta, Ga., July *24, 18<U.? To the As
iistant Adjutant General, District of Tennessee:
We arrived here day before yesterday, and
have been eminently successful, and have ex
ecuted the orders of Gen. Sherman to the let
ter. Our loss does not exceed twelve in
killed and wounded. I start to-day for Nash
ville."
On the 22d, Gen. Sherman announced, in a
circular to his army, that Gen. Rousseau tiad
been entirely successful.
The important expedition against tbe 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 tbe early part of this
year. Dot for various military reasons its exe
cution was postponed until the presentmonth.
On the .'JOth ultimo Gen. Sherman revived the
project, as an important auxiliary to his grand
movement upon Atlanta, his object being to
cut the railroad between Columbus, Ga., and
Montgomery, Ala., so effectually as to destroy
permanently the rebel communications be
tween those points. Abundant preparations
were made for the destruction of tbe ties, rails,
bridges, culverts, water tanks, d^pot buildings,
locomotives, arsenals, Government machine
shops, Ac.

PANO GERMAN AFFAIRS.
It is confirmed that Denmark has proposed
an armistice with a view to peace negotiations.
Tbe belief is generally entertaineu that a peace
will soon be concluded.
It is reported that King Christian proposes in
the peace propositions to include the transfer
of the Danish navy, on condition of his re
maining King of Denmark, under the protec
tion of the German Confederation.
The new Danish Ministry nave 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 and of the people. Otherwise we
shall be powerless to lay down a programme
at present. It would be impossible to do so.
The new ministers can only give assurance
that, in taking their stand firmly upon legal
ground, tney will never advise the King to
adopt an illegal measure." The message con
cludes by saying that Ministers will consider
it tbeir mission to uphold the independence of
Denmark.
The Independence Beige asserts that the
King of Denmark has invoked and obtained
the intervention of the Emperor Napoleon.

VOLUNTEERS, SUBSTITUTES AMD
DRAFTED MEJI.
Although we have heretofore given consid
eration to the rights, duties and incident** ari
sing under the enrollment laws, we are admon
ished by frequent communications and inqui
ries that there are many cltix?iis under exercise
of mind upon the subject who have not yet
paid sufficient attention to the matter, or prop
erly understood that which has been said about
It. "We therefore give the following synopsis
of the requirements of the law, embracing some
things hitherto touched upon aud others not
yet noticed:
First. The exemptions of the original act to
fathers of motherless children twelve years M
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 commutition clause, by whioM
a person who was drafted might be released
upon payment of three hundred dollrrs, is
repealed, with a single excepuon in the case
of persons conscientiously opposed to bearing
arms, who may commute upon payment of
thiee 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, tbe second class not being liable to
service until the first class was exhausted, 13
abolished, and all citizens liable are enrolled
in tbe 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 may be received who are
between the age6 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 a?e is a military often*?
in the officer who recruits them, who may he
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, r.K>0 ; for three
years, $300. These amounts are paid in instal
ments. To a one year s volunteer, when mus
tered in, $33 31; to a two years' recruit, S06 06;
to a three years' recruit, sil?i). Two other in
stalments are to oe paid to the volunteer or his
representatives during the term of service.
Seventh. The mcntbly pay of a private,
either volunteer, substitute or drafted man,
is sixteen dollars a month. Non-commissioned
and commissioned 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 dralted 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 vol
unteers, and receive the Federal and munici
pal bounties, and whatever their principal
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 as he may
engage them.
Thirteenth. Representative substitutes for
persons not liable to draft may be persons who
are liable to draft.
Fourtetnth. Substitutes for persons liable to
dratt, furnished before drafting, must not them
selves be liable. They may either be aliens,
veterans or sailor?, who have served two years
and been honorably discharged, or the citi/.eue
of the States In rebellion, or the slaves of rebel
owners.
Fifteenth. The principal shall be exempt
from dratt during tbe time that the said sub
stitute is not liable to draft, cot 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
of July 18, ltd, whether enlisted for one, two
or three years, as well as all excess or defici
ency of three years' men on caJls heretofore
made, will count man for man. The equal
ization of the amount of militury set vie ren
dered by the different StateB and parts d? States
will be effected hereafter.
Eighteenth. A substitute for an enrolled man
is credited, and, therefore, deducted from tbe
quota of the locality he enlists in.
Nineteenth. An enrolled man furnishing aa
alien as a substitute is exempt lor 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 enli6t 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
a State in which the ageat is to operate is to be
specified in the letter of appointment. All re
cruiting agents will be subject to the rules and
articles of war. It is made the duty of the
commanding officers of rendezvous, to order
back to his State or arrest and hold for
trial, as he may deem| best, any recruiting
agent who shall commit lrands upon tbe
Government or recruits, or who shall- violate
the instructions issued to govern this recruit
ment, or be guilty of any offense against mili
tary law. No man shall be recruited who is
already in the military service as a, soldier,
teamster, laborer, guide, <cc., or who is so em
ployed by tbe military authorities as to be of
importance to military operations. Recruits
procured under this privilege must be deliv
ered by the recruiting agents at one of the
following named rendezvous, namely:?Camp
Casey, Washington, 1). C., for Northeast Vir
ginia- Camp near Fortress Monroe for South
east Virginia; Camp Newbern, N. C? for
North Carolina: Camp Hilton Head, S. C, for
South Carolina and Florida; Camp Vicksbnrg,
Miss., for Mississippi; and Camp Nashville,
Tenn., for Georgia and Alabama.
Twenty-second. If it is desired to put any of
the volunteer recruits from the rebellious
Elates into service as substitutes before or after
tbe draft, they mu6t be sent without expense to
the Government by the recruiting agent to the
district in which tbe principal is enrolled, and
there be mustered in by the Provost Marshal,
who will Issue the proper substitution papers.
It is made tbe duty of commanding officers to
afford to recruiting agents all such facilities as
tbey can provide, without detriment to the
public service, and to prevent recruiting by
unauthorized parties.
Twenty-third. Tbe enlistment ol hundred
day men does not operate to rednoe the liabili
ty of the district from which he volunteer*.
But if any hundred day man is draft** his
hundrWl day's service counts in reducing Ms
term or service.
Twenty-fourth. Although tbe volunteers are
taken for one, two er three years, u>e drar. is
for one year.
There is sufficient in these statements, me
think, to arouse the attention every old sen
to the necessity of dolng^' ^
