one evening, several contested the
honor Of haveing done the most extra

he had arrested his tailor for money
loaned him.

Several Days in the Woods.

Some days ago party of soldiers station
ed at Cheat River, on the Baltimore e. Ohio
Railroad, were out scouting, when they OBJ
served man quickly jump behind tree.
The soldiers called for the man, whom they
supposed to be one of guerrilla party, to
come out, but he only hugged the tree the
closer The call was several times repeated,
and accompanied with terms and threats,
none of which appearing to have any effect,
one Of the soldiers walked around so as to gel
good sight and then fired. The negro, fol
SO it proved to be- one of the real gizzard
footS, gave jump and scream, threw away
his gun and fell down upon the ground.
The soldiers approached him, and after turn
ing him over once or twice to find hole in
his body, discovered that the negro was
''acting possum." He at last opened his
eyes and got up, looking the very picture of
starvation and terror. Being assured that
nobody intended to hurt him, the negro said
, that he had been hiding around in the woods
and among the rocks for about seven days.
His master had run off when the "sogers
come" and the negro had taken horse and
followed suit He travelled about through
the woods until either scouting party or the
guerrillas shot his horse, when he took a foot
path. The poor old fellow said that he had
been fred at twenty times. and come to the
conclusion that the warlike movement in
Western Virginia was organized and con
Quoted with the sole and entire purpose of
cutting him off. He had nothing to eat fol
several days, and was on the point of starva
ton. He had short barrelled rifle in hi,
possession, but no ammunition of any sort
The rifle looked as if it had not been dis
charged for at least two years. The soldier,
gave the negro some provisions, and told hin
to make tracks for home if he knew which
way to go, and to stay there until his master
came back, adding that if he desired to save
his precious bacon he would observe strict
ly unarmed neutrality. The negro stuck
his gun ina hollow tree and started at brisl
pace down ravine, glad to escape, for tn,
twentieth time, with his valuable life. =

Col. Kelley Promoted to Brigadier
General.

With great pleasure we announce the pro;
motion Of this gallant officer to the command
of a Virginia brigade. His promotion was
recommend yesterday in telegram from
Gen. Mcclellan, and the recommendation
was Immediately acted upon by our Execu'
tive authorities, so that now Col. Kelley
stands only second in command on the Vir-
ginia field to Gen. Mcclellan.
This promotion, besides being well de-
served and well bestowed, will have the in
estimable moral effect of showing that the
just deserts of no good officer in this struggle
for the maintainance of the Union will es.
cape unnoticed Every man, thus far who
successfully distinguished himself by prompt.
ness, talent and gallantry has been ilnme-
diately recognized. Col Kelley went into
this war because his heart was in it !; because
he loved the Union and all its priceless bless
ings, and he was untiring to do his part TO-
wards the successful issue Of the war. And
although disabled early he had SO far made
his mark as to impress his merits upon his
superior officers. Hence his promotion
now. d.
In this connection we arc permitted to give
the opinion of ono of his physicians that hi
will soon be in the field again. .-[Wheelinl
