From Edwards, Ferry.

EDWARDS FERRY, Oct. 26.-All quiet
last night. No pickets were thrown over
the river but those on this side heard those
of the rebels all night on the opposite side
and saw their fires thickIy scattered in the
woods along the shore. Their centrnliz
ing point WAS q Clump of trees on the
bluff, where our troops had constructed II
picket STATION, near the spot from which
our artillery shelled them during the Skin
mish on Tuesday last.
When our army was withdrawn from
the Virginia side on Wednesday night the
10th Indiana, occupying the most ndvanc-
ed and exposed position, were not aware of
any withdrawal until the last had been
successfully ferried over. They lay on the
cold ground with muskets in their hands
every moment expecting an attack from
the concealed and reinforced enemy,wOhsc
numbers were known to exceed ours by
several thousand, yet the only mnrmurings
uttered by these hardy sons of the North
west were at the orders to return without
disputing the ground inch by inch with
their adversaries.
The Wisconsin regiment brought with
them two prisoners, the owner of the mill
on Goose Greek, who, it was charged, had
prepared combustible to fire the bridge
over Goose Creek, but were prevented
from carrying out their designs by the sud-
den descent upon the bridge by our Skin
mishers.
The officers of the night had a conversa-
ton with prisoner of war, highly intel
telligent gentleman and non-commissioned
officer of one of the Mississippi regiments
engaged in the affair at Balls Bluff He
left Leesburg on Sunday night, when there
were about FIVE regiments there. There
were no defensive works at Leesburg, but
every approach was fortified commanding
the river and land routes.
/ This prisoner was astonished to learn
that our army was not almost entirely COM
posed of Aboli,ionists and radical Repub-
iic0ns, and that our main object was other
than to emancipate slaves throughout the
South. He said if tue FACTS were gcncr-
ally known TO the working PEOPLE through
out the South that our sole object was To
sustain the government, and to preserve
the Union intact, there would be revo-
luton in the Confederate army and peace
be restored. He was surprised beyond
measure to be assured that Breckenridge
Democrats composed a large part of our
army.
Capt. Vaughan, of the Rhode Island bat
terry, who went over with flag of truce,
has returned. He was captured by party
who did not understand the law 0fnations,
but wns afterwards released by the militia
ny authorities.

IT Is COMMON OBSERVATION that there
are more sufferers from debility, among
Americans, than can be found among any
other civilized nation. The reason is oh
vious. We take too little exercise, aud
forget the wants of tht body in the absorb

cases, ordinary medicines can do little
good What is required is just such n
tonic and iuvigor,tor rs DR.. J. Hostetter
has given to the w0rlI, in his CELEBRATED

zen of the counting house, the exhausted
toiler upon the shOp-boNrd. and the pros

found wonderful Regeneration in the
"BitlerS," and prefer it to more pretentious,
but less eficacious medicines. But it
should not be forgotten ihnt the agent
which is so magical in its influence upon
n frame which is merely debilittted, is
equally powerful in assisting nature to ex
