The FAIRFAX Fight.

FAIRFAX, G. H., June i.
At an early hdr this morning u village
wasthrown into great excitement by the
arrival of Feder troops, the firing Of guns
and the CELLS of he enemy.
.sBeing.&n invaid, and consequently not an
eye witRess to tie scene, | can onlygiye you
such facts as wye repeated to me by 9TH
Une2pectedlT a company of regular Caval-
rv, well armea and mounted, and headed by
atraito1S 5asheIthfough the principal streets,
yelling 1H9mudmen and firing their pistols
right andneft as they sped along. Captain
Mari, of &eaY2rrenton Rifles, whose com
pany was stfaned in a meadow in rear OF
the town, Tor hearing the firing, ran out to
ascertain the cause, when he was shot down
and killsds This fact threw the Rifles into
temporary confusion, the first Lieutenant
being absent; in the meantime, the United
States Cavalry again charged through The
town, fTing and yelling. Elk Gov. Smith
who was temporarily here, FASTENED ovel
to the camp of the Rifles and ralying then
was proceeding to meet the enemy, whel
Col. Yuell appeared and took command. Tn
Cavalry, in the meantime, came daShlni
through the town for the third time, when
well-directed volley emptied anumber of sac
dies, and caused the hireling soldiers to bea
a hasty retreat. Our men closed upon tn
Hessians as speedily as possible and beside
killing five of them, and capturing six {
eight fine horses, took eight or ten prisoner
three of whom were carried to Manasss
Junction for safe keeping.
A friend, who heard the firing, and sa
the retreat of the valiant cavalry, says the
were not less than fifteen or twenty-f'
horses scampering over the field, minus the
riders and another informs me that he II
seen t0e dead bodies of cavalry men.
In the skirmish which took place, our on
loss was that of Capt. Mari, than whom
more brave soldier, or gallant gentleman, ev
lived or died; and he was no doubt killed
an accidental shot. Another of our men "

Our Receipts.

We are greatly encouraged by our receipts
for the past week, giving US assurance as they
do, that the friends of the Spirit of the Age
are determined that it shall not go down for
the want of support. And we hope that
these encouraging evidences will continue, so
that we may be enabled to Jill our paper, at
full size, with reading matter. Wehavevery
few advertisements now, which gives US more
room for reading matter, and consequently
involves a heavier expense III type. setting
Many of the papers of the country have there
fore reduced the size Of their sheets. But
in these times when there is so much news
that our readers all want to see, we desire to
fill up our entire space with reading matter;
and we are now assured that our friends will
see to it that we are sustained in our efforts
to furnish them with such a paper on the very
cheap terms at which the Age is published.

Warnings.

How few men who are in the habit of using
Intoxicating drinks, take warning from the
sad fate of their comrades who fail a prey to
this destructive habit. A few days since We
read a long obituary notice of a young man
who died a short time ago. The name Of the
deceased was DR.. B. H. We fully agree with
the writer of that notice, that he was 3 most
genial, agreeable gentleman, that be was a
skillful physician, and few men had brighter
prospects before him than did he. But the
writer was charitable to him he sought to
cover over his faults. He did not deny he
had them he says he had his failings-but,
he says, let him that is without fault cast the
first stone. Now, we would not say q word
about those faults, except as a warning voice
to the companions he left behind. We have
no hesitation in saying that this Doctor
if it had not been for that great destroyer
liouer. He might have heen ono of til.
brightest ornaments of his profession, haC
it not been for that demon. Sad indeed il
such a case all the more so, from the fac
of his being one Of the brightest of i~ptellects
Why, we ask, cannot those who have S
often drank with him, now take warning fror
his untimely end, and now, before it is to
late, dash away the poisoned bowl? Deepen
upon it you mo follow the SANG trac
and not come to the same end. His life is
sad warning to you and if you will not bee
it, you must bear the blame. We can couI
scores of the young men of our countr
who knew the deceased intimately, and wi
have often been with him, and yet we~fe;
they do not see that they are tendipss to| ii
sameuntimely end. Strangeh how blind nferiai
about this deceptive charm of strone drinI
Seldom do u young men awake until Il
deadly grasp ofthis demon of intemperan,
has gotfast hold of them. Beware, your
man, how you tamper with that which h
brought the highest Down to the lowest.
