The I'em of news is the presence of Yankee giinlioats in the James, apparently making tlieir way :o Richmond. They were at Liai accuunt.' by tlie Riohm.iui p.ipets ai a considerable di>tance from the obstructions eight miles below the ('ity. The Wiluiington .lourna!, on the con trary, says it f» is --every reason tobvlieve that the ene my's gunboats have reached the obstructions eight miles b«low Richmond, and have bo far been unable to pro ceed farther up ” The Richmond papers’ accounts are later than the Journal’s. The Examiner does not anticipate the ai-oent of the Yankees at present. It sa^s: — -•The enemy'- gnii>):'ais entere.l the James river in an hoar after they s.tw the .Merrimac blown to pieces. This was a matter of course. Tne pyroteennic event was in full view.

It is well known that the tobacco barn.s of \"irginia and -S >rtli Carolina contain a considerable quantity, wiiich by a very simple process, can be obtained from the earths of the barn floors; and an aj»peal is now made to every planter to engage in the luanufactureof this article, wiiich ib so very important to the Government at this time. Experiments on the earths of tobacco barns were lir.st iu4ituied, ander the direction ot (’apt. Minor, by Mr. F. J Rarnes, and it w».s i .satisfactorily ascertained that all tobacco barn floors contain more or less Nitre, according to the letigth jl' time they have been iu u.se. A barn which ha.s been in use some twenty years will con- j taiu nitrou.s earth to the depth of six or nine | inches; ajid one which has been in use some live j years only, two or three inches. Many of the i older barns, it is believed, will yield as much as | ir>l) pounds of Nitre; and planters will find it no j les.s profltal.ile than it is patriotic to engage in the ' muiiulaeture ot .Saltpetre; inasmuch as they wiil i be paid by tiie Nitre Rureau seventy-five cents i per pound i'or all Nitre which contains no impu- j rities over U' per cent. Capt. Minor has kindly j furnished this Bureau with the inlormation which ! he had collected on this .suijjeet, atid unites with i me in the publication ol ttiis iiidiee. Frtxy’sis — !}rii>i>iinj.—I'rocure lour barrels, with i one head in each, a.s near water tight a.s practi- j cable, (flour bbls. will do, but whiskey or molass- j es bbls. are better,) numb.r them 1, 1, 3, 4. .Make false bottom.s in them with twigs, or other wise, as may be most convenient, line the barrels over this pretty well with straw or hay, extend ing this lining koine distance up the sides, and till with earth from the floor of the barn. Pour sufficient water to each barrel thoroughly to moisten it. Each barrel should be a little inclined to one •side, and should have a opile hole as near the bottom as possible, vvhieli aiust be stopped with a wooden spiggot Ibr about twelve hours alter the first water is poured in, and then unstojiped, atid the water alloWv_d to run or drip into some vessel provided for the purpose. The dripping now from No. 4, should be returned to it until it drips elear; that troin No. o, should be poured into No. 4; that from No. 1 into No. o and that from No. 1 into No J, pouring, alter thi.s, all the fresh water into No. 1- Thus it will be .seen that the fresh water passes tirsl through No. I. taking- up its soluble sub.staneo; that this partially changed liquid goes into No 1, getting atili more nitre; that on being drawn ofl" Irotn No. 2, it passes through No. and is liiiaily carried througli No. 4, getting an additional supply ol nitre at every change. Thus tiie iitjuid coming from No. 4, is' a.s highly concentrated as can convet>iently b« obtained. i he clear ley Ironi No. 4, may be set H.side in some ve.s.sel lo .settle, until enough is ob tained to couiuieiiee boiling. After the water has been passed through No. 1 lour times, it will be exhausted, aud can be eiiiptietl :ind filled with i'resh earth and placed as No. 4, of the .series, No, 4 becoming No. 3, So. 3, No. -2, and No. ll, becoming No 1, the present No. 1, i^lortner No. j!,) wid iiu\t be filleii, with ifesii water, and tiiis luiviiig drained thiough, the eartli wili be tinpticd and Ircsh eartii put in and the barrel jdaeeu as No. 4, tiius preserving a con tinued rotation ot the barrels and avoiding the nece.-sity of .stopping to refill all at once. Care should be taken in pouring the clear ley into the ves.sel Ibr boiling, to pour in as little ol the sedi ment as po.ssible, thus having so much less filth to get rid ot in boiling. Wliure it is not conveni ent to get barrels, hoppers may be used, c.on- formiiig, as near as practicable, to the same rules as with barrels. The hoppers should be made of split timbei or slabs converging >n ail sides, and made as tight as practicable. BnUinj.—Procure an iron i>ot large enough to hold the litjuor to be boiled, and pouring all the iiijuor into it, boil it briskly, when a scum will rise oaits surface; this scum must be skimmed off and returned tu tht; b:irrels, mid the boiling con tinued until a drop taken up by the end of a stick becomes hard utrf^olid, when let fall upon cold metal or upon a plate. The liquor is now to be dipped out of the pot and poured into a cloth placed over a tub or bar rel, and allowed to strain through into the tub below and become cold. As soon the litjuor begins to cool, crystals of saltpetre will commence forming, and when cold the liquor left—called mother liquor—must be poured off from the salt petre back into the pot with the fresh liquor for boiling, as it still has considerable saltpetre in it.
