by his heroic example. But when the
fight was over, and the excitement
had passed away, he sank down by
the road side completely exhausted. We
procured a trundle bed, upon which, with
much difficulty, we succeeded in carrying
him to the mouth of the West fort of the
Kanawha-a distance of eight miles
where he died early the following morn
ing. Had he lived, he doubtless would
have left his record upon a brighter page
of his country's history. As it was, he
expressed his willingness to die, only re-
GREETING that he had fallen by the hands of
men who were too cowardly to fight, ex-
cept from behind rocks and trees.

A day or two ago, VOLUNTEER, about to
rejoin his regiment, advertised that he
would take letters for his comrades Of the
same regiment. He received a great many
letters and packages containing small do
nations from loved ones at home. It was
interesting to observe the throug as they
came, and, dropping their afFectionhte do
nations, went on their way happier. There
were old, Young and middle-aged, fathers
and mothers to sons, and sisters to brothers.
There was one, however, who attracted
more attention than the rest. She vase
girl of some seventeen summers, scantily
but neatly dressed, and but for the care
which marked every feature of her coun-
tenance, would have been termed pretty.
"This letter." said she to the lady who
received her, ais for my brother Will 1t
reach him, do you think7"
"It will, certainly"
al am SO glad There is doller in it,
madam, for my brother. 1t is small sum
TO send him (ahd the tears filed her eyes),
but ii Is my last dollar !"
"Your last dollar "so9
"Yes, madam. You see, since my bro
ther went to the war, am left alone with
my poor old mother. Work has been very
scarce, and can scarcely make enough to
live on. But when we heard how our SOL
diers were suffering in Western Virginia,
our hearts were much pained, and mother
and have been grieying over the fate of
my poor brother. We had only a dollar,
aud we send it to him."
We need not say that the noble girl met
with cordial sympathy. In ordinary
times, such instances of self sacrifice were
scarce, but now they are numerous.-Cfn.

seems to have fallen In acquiring u high

but the Jeffersonville IVA Democrat vali-

QUARREL BETWEEN FLOYD AND THE OFFICERS
-.., OF THE WISE LEGION.
1t appears that the officers of the Wise
Legion have disapproved of Gen. Floyd's
conduct, and published their opinion in
the Richmond Enquirer, at which Floyd is
greatly grieved, and sends alettera to the
Enquirer, of which the following is an ex-
tract: s.ss isaa 1
an the Enquirer of October lst, you
have published certain letters, dated in
Camp Defiance, purporting to be written
by officers in the Wise Legion, under my
command. These persons pretend to mar
rate my conduct in this campaign, pArticu-
larly of the late actions on the Gaulty and
retreat to Meadow Bluff. Their statements
are calumniatory falsehoods, having no
shadow of truth for their foundation; but
their intention, and not less their malig-.
nifty, is too obvious to permit me to believe
that they can be injurious, either to my
own reputation or that of the army which
| then cotnmAnded.n He then proposes to
leave his reputation to history, and to his
"living countrymen who love Justice" In
conclusion, he demands the names of the
officers who invented and published the
libels against "their general, that they may
be tried by the military tribunals, and
punished according to the laws of the
army s
To this letter the proprietors and editors
Of the Enquirer thus reply:
"ESQuIRER OFFICE, Oct. 10, 1861.
s',Iohn B. Floyd, Esq.-SIR: Your letter
of Oct. is before US. Not recognizing
any authority in yourself, either individu-
ally or as commander of the army OF Ka-
nawha, to demand the names of our cor
respondents, we decline to comply with
your request. .aF

awe declined to furnish the names of
our correspondents to Gen. Floyd, because
of his purpose to seek his yindication
through court-martial, instead of the
usual mode among gentlemen. Whenever
Gen. Floyd proposes apersonal vindica-
ticn, the names of our correspondents shall
be furnished.
awe shall dismiss this letter with the
statement that the characters Of our cores
pondents hare never been stained by the
suspicion of crime, and that the charge of
falsehood against them is much easier
made than proved. They are gentlemen,
the equals of Gen. Floyd in every respect,

Good Ink.

We find the following paragraph
floating around in our exchanges. as
good Ink is desideratum, we re-pub-
lish this for the benefit Of our readers:
Good Ink may often be had by pay
ing good price for it, say about fifty
cents per quart; but after the manu-
facturer has got his reputation he is
tempted to sell a cheap and miserable
article. The best way is for all to make
their own ink, and save at least one
thousand per cent. as ink is commonly
sold at retail, between first cost and f.
nal price. But how shall we make it
easily and cheaply? ?? Thus: Buy ex-
tract of logwood, which may be had
for three cents an ounce, or cheaper by
the quantity. Buy also, for three cents.
an ounce of bi-chromate of potash
The former is orange red, the latter
clear yellow. Now, take half an ounce
of logwood and ten grains of bi-chro
mate of potash, and dissolve them in 9
quart of hot rainy ater.l When cold,
pour it into a glass bottle, and leave II
uncorked for q week or two. Expos
ure to the air is indispensable. The
ink is then made, and has cost five t.
iten minutes labor.

mated by one common spirit-uninflu.
enced and uncontrolled by any other
than that holy love of country and rev.
erence for its institutions, which rise
high above all thought of party, and
forgets and sinks every other consider
alton when convinced of their peril
and danger. 1t is to men animated
by such feelings-to the whole people
of the State, therefore, that we appeal
to come forward and take these bonds
thus to be issued and for such purposes.
To every man we appeal-to those who
are able to subscribe much, to do much
Ito those who can do but little, to
take care and do that little. Let none
think his small quota, if small it must
be, unimportant. Let several parties,
if necessary, unite their strength and
make up fund to subscribe as they
may find it convenient. Let there be
committees in every county to gather
up the subscriptions in the name Of,
and send them to, John Owen, ESQ.,,
the State Treasurer. That the SUBJ
scriptions may be larger and more cas-
lily paid the money may be divided into
four monthly payments, thus making
available the resources of the year.
Let all subscribe only what they mean
certainly to pay. Let all do their duty
according to the means wherewith
God has blessed them, putting aside
for the present all other means of in
vestment and all not absolutely neces-
sary expenditures, and Michigan will
have nobly done her whole duty, and
will stand forth, though among the
young, yet distinguished among the
noblest States of the Union.
