w AsHINGToN, Oct. 3I.-A petition is il
clre ulation here and numerously signed
which appeals to the Government to furnish
fuel TO the people at reasonable prices.
The War Department did not recognize
General James Lane, of Kansas, as having
authority over a brigade. His commission
was issued by State, and does not proceed
from the President. Genl. Lane has sent
rere for corps of Engineers and Sappers
and Miners, and the Government refuses TO
grant the requisition.
Private advices lately received from Ken
lucky, are very encouraging. The rebels
are reported to be falling back in a rather
hopeless manner. This is better news than
that reported by Genl Thomas. We are
officially informed that the great naval ex.
petition sailed without written orders.
There is nothing of interest to commune
cate on the Potomac to-day. Weather fair
and the troops in excellent spirits.

A clear Case OF Fraud.

It is related by enc of the dispatches
| from the battlefield at Edwards's Ferry,
that when our brave boys were trying to
make their way from the trap into which
they had been foolishly led back across the
Potomac poor negro with a small skif
employed himself the whole night in ferry
lag cver the fugitives. He succeeded. in
this way, Ia saving the lives, or in securing
the escape, at least, of not less than one
hundred persons. His master all the while
was probably on the Virginia shore trying
to send MIME ball into the hearts of our
men.
Now, as the service of this fellow did
not belong to himself but his master, what
right had be to lend his labor to our suffer-
ing soldiers? Was he not defraud nQ his
oWnerP Will not some of our Generals
insist upon delivering him up" to be
properly punished for so audacious use of
his muscles OF course, no one will be so
insane as to propose that he should be
emancipated for this timely rescue of so
many loyal troops. That would be Abo-
lItlanism; that would be interfering with
the sacred institution; that would be con-
Tossing that negroes are men and entitled

that the responsibility of such a movement
was left to Genl. Mcclellan, and that it was

from the mouth of Quantico Greek. Can't,
Adams, OF the Ist Massachusetts regiment,
went down to the shore at Budds Ferry, to
receive it.. When within about one thous-
and yards from the Maryland side, the
rebels in the boat threw overheard a barrel
which they anchored like a buoy. Taking
in the flag of truce, they pulled back to the
Virginia side as fast as possible. In the
afternoon heavy firing was heard down the
Potomac from Budds Ferry.

Furore among me Ladfea-

There is just now q sensation among the
fair sex, especially those who delight to
make their sweet faces more fascinating.
The want of an article devoid of pernicious
ingredients, for clearing and identifying the
skin, has long been felt. Certain members
OF the Ton recognized as leaders of the beau
monde, have at length discovered this great
desideratum In DR.. Holloway's balsamic
Ointment which they have unanimously
adopted and recommended to their num-
erous circle of friends. This unique prepara-
ton permeates the vesicles of the skin, and
imparts freshness and bloom to the com
plexion unequalled by any of the pernicious
cosmetics which are advertised to effect the
most extravagant alterations, little short of
changing the Ethiopian's Skin. DR.. HoI-
loway's Ointment is entirely composed of
simple vegetable extracts, innocent of all
mineral ingredients, yet certain in its opera
ton on all eruptive disorders. It relieves
the pain and smarting, and allays the in
hammation of scalds, burns, &C. For chill
blains, froat-bites, cracked lips, chapped |
hands, and rough skin it has no equal Il |
sootns the irritation, and cools the itching /
and burning anguish which attend these |
disorders. 1t should be on every toilet table,
and no mother of family should ever be
without supply in the house for the in
Vulnerable little accidents to which childhood
. liable. DR.. Holloway confdentially
recommends this Ointment for any of the
'oove maladies as its action Is unattended
With the perils which characterize the effects
4 modern Unguents. At the Frazer River
higgins, the value of these medicines is so
nstly celebrated that Pedlers have freqnent-
obtained an ounce of gold for a small
OF OF the Ointment, when a scarcity pre-
ailed-the Gold seeker knows that with
ne Pills and Ointment in his possession he
equires no other medicine, therefore, every
ian provides himself with a store of these
ledicaments as a safe guard to his health

COMPLIMENT TO THE INDIANA CAvALRY.-
A correspondent of the st. Louis Demo-
crat, speaking of the charge of Col. Bakers
cavalry at the battle of Fredericktown,
says: -
After they had retreatsd into the woods
beyond the reach Of our artillery and in
fantry, the cavalry was ordered to pursue
them. They endeavored to make another
stand, and the cavalry charged them. Il
was in this splendid charge that Mai. Gayitt
fell. hope the conduct of the Indiana
men at Busna Vista will never be mentioned
again. The bravery and activity of the
Indiana cavalry has never been surpassed.
Nine-tenths Of the rebels who fell in their
charge were killed by saber cuts.
