FROM WESTERN VIRGINIA.

The folio wing is the Northern account OF an af.
fair heretofore mentioned:
CINcINNAT1, Nov. 12.-The defeat of the Union
troops at Guyandotte, Va, accomplished by
the treachery of the inhabitants conspiring with
force of rebels, varousy estimated at from five
hundred to a thousand men, who concentrated in
the country back Of the town. These troops pro-
posed with the assistance of the reb ell inhabitants
of Guyandotte, to annihilate the Federal troops
stationed at the town consisting of 250 men, part
OF Virginia regiment and few of Col Zeigler's
Virginia Cavalry.
1t arranged between the rebel cavalry and
rebel citizens to troops in cold blood.
Accordingly these rebel citizens assumed very
friendly manner to our troops last Sunday even
ing and invited them to their houses on various
pretexts, and all who off duty accepted the
invitations. While being thus entertained the
rebel cavalry dashed into the town. Signals were
displayed from every house where the federals
we're, and into these the rebels rushed, numbering
the unarmed soldiers in cold blood
The rebel citizens, both men and women, rush
ed to arms and aided the cavalry in the slaughter
The small body of Federals in camp prepared as
soon possible for defence, but they were over
powered and had to break and retreat. Very few
were killed in the engagement with the rebels,
nearly all the killed being murdered in the houses
of the Secessiorsts Under these circumstances,
when Gen Zeigler arrived there, and learned the
particulars of the affair." he ordered the destruction
Of the town, when the buildings were Immediately
fred and the whole town reduced to ashes.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1861-11-26

Commodore Dupont, in his official report to
Secretary Weles, says that in the storm the Isaac
Smith had to throw her battery overheard, and
the Governor and Peerless went down-the for
mer with seven marines on board.
The loss in the ombardment of the forts is
stated at killed and 20 wounded.
The n. Y. Herald states that it has good reas-
on to believe that the Federal Government has
finally agreed to an exchange of prisoners.
The Washington correspondent Of the n. Y
Commercial Advertiser says that the under feel
ing the capital, publicly expressed, is that our
foreign relations are in critical state. Secretary
Seward is not at present upon the best terms,
personally, with the foreign Minister'S Cincin-
natl Gazette.

To PERSONS WANTING SALT.-Any person
or association Of persons, wanting Salt, not for
speculation ARE informed that the South Side Com
rany has made arrangements with the Firg inia
and Tennessee Company by which they send
an engine and Cars for more loads. The
conditions upon which the Salt will be sent is,
that the parties bespeaking train must have
$500 bushels ready to load the when they
reach the Salt Works, and hands to load it, and
that there shall be no detention of any kind The
charges for sending this train and bringing the
Salt from the Salt Works, to Pete, sburg, or any
Depot on the South Side Railroad, will be IS
cents per hundred pounds
H. D. BIRD, sup't.
The Importance of this announcement to is
greatly increased by the fact that since the out
break of Tories in East Tennessee, and along the
Northern borders of North Carolina, it is very
doubtful whether or not wagons safely pass to
the Salt Springs and back. A gentleman who
has just returned from trip to Elizabethtown and
Carter counties in Tennessee, reports numerou
wagons passing through the tory region, but
they will undoubtedly experience trouble in gett-
ing back with their loads The probability is
that many will be seized, and everything else may
be lost, and the men sent off prisoners. -iSalis
bury Hdtchmdn.
We think there is or soon will be sufficient
force there to prevent harm to wagoners, though
it would be well for all to 60 armed.

had at the works wbere Mr. Bird proposes to get it

a constant household friend, giving ease and relief

and it win save you many hours of pain and suf-
fering. There is hardly pain 1t Will not ease
There is hardly an accident that VIII occur where
it will not be useful.
Should one Of your family get burned or scald-
ed cover the burned part with cloth Of several
thicknesses wet with the "Master of Pains" ana
Keep the cloth saturated with it. In short time

it wet with the master OF PAIN until the PAIN

Rub it on freely with the hand with flannel
cloth until the skin becomes heated and burning.
For soreness of the throat rub it on until 1t pro-
duees little soreness.
For Group use it in connection with the Cough
! Syrup, by rubbing it OH the chest.
! For Rheumatism and all deep seated pains, If
the pain is not speedily removed by rubbing with
the hand, lay cloth wet with the liquid over the
part affected, and pass warm smoothing iron over
| For Pains in the Breast, Side or Back, the same

! For Tooth-ache, drop it on cotton, and apply it
to the nerve of the tooth, also rub the gums and

! For Frosted Feet, apply the 'sMaster Of Pains
reely, and dry it in before the fire.
For Headache rub it on the forehead.
1t is called ssMaster Of Pain.'' did not give it
this name-I don't like the name. When | first

miles round. And finally. when | had a label
printed was compelled to adopt the name, for by
