INCIDENT OF 4 F1aHr.-TAe New Hanp.
ehjrc buys held Conrad's Ferry; but as their
guns would not carry sufficient distance to
do the enemy any harm, 9 detachment of
twenty men were sent from our regiment
to act - eharpshoote11- They picked Of OF
10 Of the rebels. The New Hampshire men
had been firing pistols and guns that did not
reach halfway across the river. The euemy's
six-pounder balls came thick and fast among
or boys; but luckily they all squatted, and
the ehot passed over them. So soon as . six
pound ball would strike the ground, the boys
would make dash and dig it out. They get
eix Of these trophies. The New Hampshire
boys got the others, One trick Of the New
Hampshire boys was to mount on horseback,
as a mark for their f1eld-piece. As soon al
they fired, he would drop from his horse, and
The enemy would set up shout Of triumph.
The horseman would then get up, and, pla:-
irg his fingers at his nose, would poke fan at
them. This morning the enemy have evacua-
ted the ferries: How long we are to re-
main here, aud what Is our destination, we
knuW not.

INSCRIPTION ON GAR1DALD1's HOUSE The
following Inscription has been written by
Waiter Savage Lundor for Garioa1di's hou,e at
Nice:
His In ndilus natus est Garibaldus,
Miles strenuus, impiger
Dux saGa1, proVldua,
Victor clemens. tmperator modestu5
Vir prpbna,
This inscription, which is remarkable for its
te1se aud pure Latinity, translated, is:
In this house Garibaldi was born,
An energetic, active soldier,
a sagaconf, prosident leader,
a clement conquesor, an unass1mtng dictator,
An upright mau.
It is difficult to translate stressu,4s and inn
pigtr into English; but used together, and ap-
Piled to soldier, they have Al exact counter
part in our slang phrase, "rough aad ready"
And although We believe generally }, with good
George Herbert, that they who ind it impos-
sibse to find English for any idea, slack wit,
not words" we must admit ttat We are not
satisfied with our translation Of ;apertstor
n.odesf.ts; and get ne cannot better It.

a ConfIIct--RebcIs Routed.

Washington, Sept. Il.-A large party started
out at o'clock this morning from the Chain
Bridge under Col. Stevens of the New York
Highlanders As our skirmishers advanced the
enemy's pickets retreated beyond Lewinsville
about seven miles from the Chain Bridge. Our
troops having accomplished their errand con-
nected with the reconnaissance of the country,
commenced TO retrace their steps, when large
force of rebels consisting of two regiments of in
fantry and Col. Stewards regiment of Virginia
cavalry and a battery of four pieces, were seen
approaching. The rebel battery opened with
shell which was replied to from Griffin battery.
Several rounds were fired when our troops ceas-
ed firing for 30 minutes to give the rebels an op-
portunity of meeting them on the open field, the
rebels being in the woods. Our forces on re-
suming the action begun with 80 FOUNDER, a
shell from which soon silenced the rebel bat
terry. They were soon sent flying a number
reelng from their saddles.
There are three killed belonging to the 10Th
Indiana regiment. Lieut. Hancock is supposed
to be killed There were two killed of the Sd
Vermont regiment and wounded
Gen. McClellans despatch to the Secretary OF
War is very brief He merely says that the
Gen. made reconnaissance with 1000 men to
Lewnsville remaining there several hours and
completed their examination of the ground
When the work was completed and the com
mand had started back, the enemy opened fire
with shell, by which two men were killed and
three wounded. Griffn's Battery, he says sill.
ced, that of the enemy, and our men came bach
in perfect order and excellent spirits. The mel
behaved most admirably under the fire. HI

Important from missouri.

Jefferson City, Sept. l1.-A messenger
brings information that DIR. Jamison, the
Kansas "Jayhawker," with small force
from that State, had fallen upon party Of
500 rebels under the notorious DR.. Staples,
completely routing them and killing their
leader. If this be true, the most difficult
part of restoring peace in Pettis and ad-
joining counties has been accomplished
This man Staples, and Capt. Magofin,
captured some days since, have been the
principal instigators of secession in these
counties.
The same messenger states that Col.
Marshall's Illinois Cavalry had surrounded
600 rebels under Capt. Shelby, short
distance below Lexington, and taken the
whole force prisoners. Shelby had two
common. This latter report needs confrma-
ton, but it has been known for several days
that Shelby's band had taken position at
the place indicated after abandoning the
seige of Lexington.

Lieut.. DICKINSON, of Company G, 9Th
Regiment, returned homo on Tuesday even
ing for short visit. He has been at Co
lumbus arranging the pay roll for the three
months men. Lieut.. Dickinson has recov-
cred from his late sickness, and his health
is better than it has been in several years
We are happy in being able to state that
Lieut.. DICKINSON and Capt. HAYNES are
both unconditional Union men, favoring the
Administration in every endeavor to put
down the rebellion and conquer lasting
and Constitutional peace. They both look
with disfavor and regret upon the continu-
auce of partisan animosities in our county
and State, and unhesitatiugly say there
should be but one organization and that
the People's-the Union Party--irrcspect-
i've Of past differences, and their whole and
sole object, the sustaining of the Constitu-
ttonal Government, the preservation of the
Union entire, and the suppression of this
unholy war. These are the views we have
all the time believed these gentlemen en-.
tertained, though there has been strenuous
efforts made in this community to make
some people believe TO the contrary.
Mr.. Dickinson will return to Virginia in
a day or two.

A Battle in Western Virginia.
The Federal Army Victorious.
General Mcclellan at Work on

IMPORTANT FROM MISSOURI.
Battle of summersviile, Va--Gen. Rose
crans RomIa FLOYD and his Army.

Battle of summersviile, Va--Gen. Rose
Grams ROuts Floyd aud his Army.
The telegraph from Clarksburg brings us
very important aud interesting news from
Western Virgioia. On Tuesday afternoon
Gen. Rosencrans came upon Gen. Floyd
near SummeIsville, and gave him battle
Floyd was upon hill which was strongly
fortified with parapets and palisades. The
fight was fierce and long, being suspended
only when darkness covered the scene.-
During the night Floyd fed with bis army
in such haste, that bis own personal bag
gage was captured. Our troops were too
much exhausted to follow him. The ac-
counts represent our Ohio boys as fighting
gallautly. This victory will, we think,
clean the rebels out of Western Virginia.
Our loss is fifteen killed, and about seven
ty wounded, generally flesh wounds. The
the rebel loss is not ascertained, as they
carried their dead and wounded with them,
but it was certainly serious. Capt Nc
Grorty, of Cincinnati, Capt. McMullen and
Lieut. Snyder, Of Ohio, are among the
wounded but not dangerously.
Twenty five men of Col. Tylers, who were
taken by Floyd at Gross Lanes, were re-captur-
ed, and Floyd's personal baggage, with that of
his officers, was taken. We also captured the
onemy's camp equippage, wagons, horses, large
quantities of ammunition, and fifty head of cat
tie. The enemy were 5000 strong with l6
field pieces, entrenched in powerful position
on top of mountain at Carrick's Ferry, on the
west side of the Gauley river. The loss of the
rebels was severe.

To THE CoMPRoMIsERs.-Those who are
in favor of Matching up peace with the
rebels, may proftably ponder the following
extract from the Mobile Mercury, showing
the terms which we have to expect from
the South:
ave must dictate the terms of peace, the
first article of which shall be acknowledge
ment of the right of secession. This is a
fundamental principle. The next article
should be that she (the North) pay, to the
utmost farthiug, the expenses of this war
The third is, that she pay for the destruct-
ion of all property, both public and private
which she may appropriate to her own use
The fourth is that, as an evidence of hel
sincerity she impeach aud remove from Of
fee Abe Lincoln, indict him, and hang him
for treason and other crimes"
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1861-09-13

Notwithstanding the solemn and awful
warning of j. c. Brockinridge's friend, that
il VIC insulted the people by calling him a
tory, the business of Fremont would bo ru-
ined, our town was very lively in all its bu
siness departments last Saturday. In fact
it was more lively than usual at this season
The inference is that the more the tories &C
out, the moro true men come in; so we nov
repeat for the benefit of the town, that al
those who oppose a union of the people tC
preserve the Government, are helping the
traitors and are tories in fact.

Publish the Last of All.

The Fremont Messenger, promises to
publish next week, Senator Douglas last
speech in the Senate. Just so, but why
not be a genuine Douglas man and publish
his last speech, made at Chicago in May
lastG The demands of country rose superi-
or to those of party, in the interval between
Douglas last speech in the Senate and his
speech at Chicago, and the "Little Giant,
cast in his name and his fame for country
Let the Messenger publish that speech and
endorse it and he will feel vastly improved.
The one was spoken from the platform
of party and the other from that of patriot,
ism and country.-,Sandvsky Register.

BoMBARDMEET OF GALvEsToN.-The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y
Tribune says:
Galveston, Texas, got incidentally bomb
arded on the Sd of August. The Calves
tonian batteries opened fire upon one Of
our stcam-tenders at day dawn, which was
spiritedly returned. Commander Alden
of the blockading steamer South Carolina
waited for explanations or apologies till 4
o'clock in the afternoon. He then stood fol
the batteries, which again opened on him
After returning fifteen shots, the Comman.
der, apprehensive that he whould harm the
innocent people of the town more than the
rascals in the batteries, withdrew. The
South Carolina was not struck. The for
eign Consuls, headed, of course, by the
English Consul, got up protest, express
ing their astonishment at and abhorrence
OF Commander Alden's inhumanity anG
violation Of the laws of civilized warfare
Some corpses were buried outside the bat
terry.
