sit is well known that many Star Candles that
are really seven to the pound are branded and sold
as 8 SKIES" There is disadvantage and loss in
this practice to both retailers and consumer, even
if tbs Candies are bought at a reduction of cents
per ID. from the price of the regular article Thus

And this differences becomes greater as the price
advances. 1t is obvious that the retailer get
no more for his 240 candles in one case than in
other, consequently, every hundred boxes OF

Fight Near Harper,s FerrT.


Col Ash6y's Sucesssfsss Encounter srith the
Enemy-Galtant Chargs of the Militia-|
The Fsdsr0ts RsPulsed at the point of the
Bayoaet-
Official adviess have been resolved at the
War Department of an attack, By Col Tur-
ner Ashby, commanding small force, with
a superior body of the enemy on Wednesday
the 10th instant, at place called Bolivar,
contiguous to Harper's Ferry. The FEEDER
ais, numbering, with subsequent reinforce
ments. from 500 to l 1000 men, were sent
over TO protect the transportation of grain
from Hurr's Mill, on Shenandoah Island,
and Col. Ashby, with $50 men, 800 of whom
were militia, met and drove them back with
considerable slaughter. The action com
menced at eight o'clock in the morning, and
terminated about eleven. 1t is to be partic-
ularly noted ssthe first in which the Vir-
ginia militia have been engaged in a hand
to hand encounter with the enemy, and the
result reflects the highest credit upon that
branch of the service At q charge bayo-
nets, they drove the Hessians before them,
down the hill into the village of Harper's
Ferry, at which point in the pursuit they
were checked by a detachment of artillery.
supposed to have been Doubledsy's battery
stationed on the Maryland Heights. Col.
Ashby now withdrew his troops to a point
behind the hill, for the purpose of protect
ing them from the shot and shell which fell
thick and fast around them, but fortunately
with little effect. The loss of the enemy in
the engagement, as reported by a woman
who afterwards came out from Harper's
Ferry and saw the dead carried away in
wagons, was at least fifty or sixty, in addi-
tion to which our men captured twelve or
fourteen prisoners Among the latter are
some Union" men, who had been particu-
larly busy in aiding the Federals by means
of signals. Our loss was one killed (Zam-
per, of the Shenandoah militia, and ten
wounded-two supposed mortally.
A painful incident attended this brilliant
affair. Three members of the Bolts Greys,
of Jefferson county, who were at home on
furlough, participated IN the fight as volun-
teers, and two of the number were wounded
one (named BelD desperately, and his
life despaired of.
Col. Ashby's success would have been
much greater but for lack of cannon, and
very few of the enemy would have escaped
from the field of battle. He had but one
efficient gun, and another improvised for the
occasion-a "a under mounted on wagon
wheels, which, any artillerist will concede,
was very difficult to manage. Justice to
this brave and gallant officer demands that
he should be amply supplied with every ia
cility for successful warfare, to increase his
influence on that border as terror to the
invaders By curious coincidence, this
fight took place on the second anniversary
of the John Brown raid, and in the very
locality of that notable event.
Rev. James B. Averick, chaplain of Col
Ashby's regiment, who reached the city yeso
terdsy afternoon, is bearer of dispatches to
the War Department.

A FINE FIELD FOR CoNFIsCATIoN-.SupeTlor
City owned by Rt5sIs.-The Detroit Advertiser
says:
1t is known to many of our readers, though
1t may not be 10 the public generally, that
the site on which Lake Superior City is stu
ated is owned principally by Southern men.
All the proprietors, but one or two at most,
indeed, are from Southern States. These
men are r. NJ. T. Hunter. of Virginia,
member of the rebel Cabinet, J. c. Breckin-
ridge and l.. W. Powell, the rebel Senators,
and Beriah Magoffin, the traitor Governor of
Kentucky, VIM. Aiken, and W. W. Boyce, OF
South Carolina, Sam. Magoffin, of Missouri,
w. W. COrcoran and Geo. w. Riggs, of
Washington. The Northern men are the no.
torious Jesse d. Bright, of Indiana, an
avOwed secessionisi, and Mr.. Beck, resi-
dence not known. Hunter, Breckinridge,
Powell, B0yce, aud Sam. Magoffin are nOw
in arms against the Government, and Bright
Gov. Magoffin, aud we believe CorcOran, if
not Aiken, are in open sympathy with the
rebels. In view of these facts, it would seem
to be the duty of the Government to inves-
tigate this matter with view to the confis-
cation OF that part of the city which belongs
to the rebels i'll arms, at least These men
are using their whole power and wealth to
subveTt the Government. and this property
is used Indirectly, if not directly, in support
of the rebellion. Why, then, should it not
be confiscated? Besides being just pun
ishmeut for the crimes of the traitor owners,
its confiecation would be a decided benefit to
the city. The proprietors, by refusing to put
the land into market, believing that the city
must, at some TIM. become place of great
importance, have greatly RETARDED, and, in
deed, absolutely checked its progress. They
got possession of it, too, by means not the
most honorable-in fact they cheated the
Government out of it. Having induced
some OF the wild Indians of Minnesota to
pre- empt the land, they bought out their
rights for song. Ii the site could be
thrown into the market, it would be rapidly
taken up, aud the city soon become, irom the
advantages of the location, point of extern
sive business. bling only one hundred and
fifty miles from st. Paul, and on the cheap
est, if not the shortest route between that city
and the Atlantic, by way OF the lakes, and
at the bead of lake naFik alton. The subject
seems to be one worth the attention OF the
Government.

may, and yielded to it; bat, after three-says
of moody observation, they determined to
test the resolution OF our line. They advan-
ced in strength on Saturday, in the direction
of Prospect Hill. apparently with the view of
making an attack, and drove our pickcts ra-
pidly before them. General Mccall, whose
division was the nearest, at once formed into
line Of battle, aud, supported by a strong
force of artillery and cavalry, began res
ponsiye movement, while the divisions of
Generals Smith, Porter and Mcdowell also
prepared TO take an active part, should an
extended battle follow. The rebels, however,
gazed wisely on this vast perturbation of our
mass. and, having amused themselves by
fiinging o few shot from their foremost bate
ries, all of which were short OF range, fell
back and declined the opportunity IL IS
plain they do not intend TO give US battle on
the ground between our present lines and
Fairfax Court House; and it is also plaic,
that the step to townsville sufficiently men
aces their main position to oblige them TO
fall back to Centreville. That it is the Inten-
tiou of General Mcclellan to follow them as
they retire, there can be but little doubt. and
those who cling to the philosophy of retribu-
ton, may now reasonably calculate upon
seeing the great battle OF the Union fought
upon the already famous triangle of Manas-

1t is painful for patriotic ear to hear, as
it often must, the prejudice that seems to

and even cowardly when there can be but
little doubt he is one of the most accom-

For heavens sake let nationality and poll
