Mrs. CATHGRNE COY, for many years an in
estimable lady Of Gallia county, was born in
Dalphin county, Pennsylvania, January 9th,
l770, and died November IL, 1861, in her
92d year. She was awakened by the spirit of
God in 1908, under the labors of the Reys.
Lee and Pearsons, two early Methodist preach
ers in Pennsylvania. After seeking God with
prayers and tears a short time she did trust in
the Redeemer for the blessing she so much de-
sired. Feeling that her sins were pardoned.
she at once commenced laboring for the sal
walton Of others. She was q faithful and de-
voted member Of the NJ E Church for So
years. When the messenger called she was
ready and waiting, smiling at death as though
the best friend had come May the writer
and reader be as fully prepared.

to report accordingly.
THE EFFECTS OF THE FIRING.
The effects of our FIRE were to be
seen on every hand in the work. >On
the line along the front, three guns
were dismounted by the en6lading fire
of our ships. One carriage had been
struck by large shell, and sbivered to
pieces, dismounting the heavy gun
mounted upon it. and sending the sPlin-
tiers flying 10 all directions with terrific
force. Between the gun and the foot
Of the parapet was a large pool OF
blood, mingled with brains, fragments
of skull, and pieces Of flesh. evidently
from the face, as portions of whiskers
still clung to it. This shot must have
done horrible execution, as other por-
tions Of human beings were found all
about it. Another carriage to the right
was broken to pieces, and the guns on
the water fronts were rendered useless
by the enfilading FIRE from the gun
boats on the left flank. Their scorch-
ing FIRE Of shell, which swept with re-
sistless fury and deadly effect across
this long water pond, where the enemy
had placed their heaviest metal. en- bar
bette, without taking the precaution to
place traverses between the guns, did
as much as anything to drive the reb-
els from their works, 10 the hurried
manner / have before described. The
works were plowed up BY the shot and
shell SO badly as TO make immediate re-
pairs necessary.
All the houses and many of the
tents about the work we're perforated
and torn by flying shell, and hardly
light of glass could be found intact in
any building where shell exploded
The trees in the vicinity Of the object
of our FIRE, showed heavy marks OF
visitations. Everything. indeed, bore
the marks Of ruin. No wonder, then,
that the rebels beat a hasty retreat
can, and do, cheerfully bear testimo-
ny to the gallant and courageous man
ner in which the rebels maintained
their position under hot fire, and
fought at their guns when many would
have fed.

We have merely to say that " cents

public pay. are rather high prices
Irish potatoes. (excuse the bull), which
might be raised in almost any quantity
on our prolific soil, are selling at one

bushel, and we have for months past
been reading Of the, greatest crop of
corn and wheat ever known. We Judge
the country is abundantly supplied, and
that farmers and raisers intend to hold
on and starve us out here in the Cres-
cent City. II planters have these
heavy yields secured, we urge them to
send share to market. Flour is ad-
yancing to famine figures. Each sue
ceeding cay is attended with an sd-
vance of 95 cents or more per barrel.
Other articles as soap, candles,
starch-are advancing from day to day.
Soap, candle, and starch factories could
be made profitable. Soap which can
be made for 6 to cents per pound is
held at 80 to IS cents. Starch, another
necessary article. commands 40 cents
per pound; in fact the supply Of this
article is running so short that shirt
collars will have to follow a wilted cab
bage leaf. For candles the poor folks
have to pay Is to go cents each at the
corner grocery. Is it not time that
some OF our leading citizens should take
action and move in the establishment OF
for these and other
articles? 1t requires but very little
capital II dealers in script, stocks,
and paper ever expect to confer any
good on the country. now is the accept
ed time. But we fancy if the war
should be brought TO close, many Of
our moneyed citizens would leave US
and go northward or to Europe, and
our good city would be secondary
thought with them.

A ScoUT NEAR LExIEGToN.-The
Cincinnati papers give the details and
results Of a Federal scout near Lexing-
ton. KY, as follows:
On Saturday night last a squad
composed Of several of Capt. Dowden' s
company, of Lexington, and three men
of Capt. Brsnt's company, of this city,
viz: Napoleon B. Holman, Benjamin
Guion, and ]. II. Haston, made q

ton, upon powder mill owned by q
secessionist by the name of Mccoy.
The mill is about a mile and half
from town. and when they reached it,
it was fastened up. Demanding ad-
mittance, a number of men, armed
with guns, opened it Immediately,
upon which one Of the accommodating
party sprang into the door, brandishing
bowie knife, and ordered the fellows
to give up their arms, which they
thought it the best part of wisdom to
do.
Being then asked whether there was
any powder there, they said there was
none. Search was, however, made,
and keg filed. and a barrel partly
filled, were found, together with chem.
icals for manufacturing more. From
here part Of the squad went to the dry

found some more powder in kegs, and

COLUMBUS, Nov. 13, 1861. (

ADJUTAET GBsERALs UFFIcE,
COLUMBUS, Nov. 13, 1861.
To the County Military Committees:
The time has come when the army
of Ohio must be completed. Our gal
liant Navy, which has never yet disap-
pointed the Nation, has established
base of operations upon the shores of
South Carolina. Another will be es-
tablished on the Gulf. Loyal men Of
Eastern Tennessee invite us to the
heart of the rebel Confederacy. The
Union men of the South are throwing
off the letters OF tyranny which has
bound them. North Carolina having
yielded TO force, is anxious to return to
her allegiance. Friends everywhere
will welcome those who come as their
deliverers from despotism. The day of
terrorism is drawing to a close, and the
movement of revulsion has commenced.
II needs but the vigorous prosecution
Of movements already inaugurated to
bring it to happy conclusion, and all
the signs promise a bri ghter to-mor
row.
Now is the time to strike. The de-
liverance of the nation rests with the
people. In this day, Ohio must do
nobly her part. She has already done
much, but much more she is able to do.
To the great Northwest belongs the
work Of opening the Mississippi. The
river is ours, and we need it. No lon
ger should rebel batteries be allowed to
cut us off from direct communication
with the ocean. Our honor and inter-
est alike urge US to the effort. The
warm sun of the south invites us to
a winter campaign. Kentucky, and
large portion Of Tennessee, will join us
in the march. Union men will hail
with delight their deliverance from the
pressure of an intolerable despotism,
and il we are true to ourselves and to
them, the spring will open upon a re-
united people. fE.
Ten days more can be allowed to the
completion of regiments now forming
in camps. Within that time much may
be done, and by the 25th Of November,
Ohio contribute, at least thirty-five
thousand more of her soldiers to the
great column en- route for Nashville
and New Orleans.
To the accomplishment Of this great
object, the instant, earnest and COM
bined efforts Of officers, committees
and patriotic citizens, is most urgently
invoked. Companies are now more
valuable than regiments will be in the
spring, if the rebellion is allowed to
survive the winter. Now, when the
Rebel Confederacy seems to be stagger-
ing, is the time to strike, and the blows
being vigorously followed up, the VIC
tory will be ours, and the stars upon
our banner once more represent uni
ted Nation.
