Esiy lost a very valuable horse in Blooms =
burg on I thursday last. 1t seems that
some persons were drumming on the street,
aud the horse became frightened and rest
i've and began to kick and finally broke
loose, and having broken the shaft of the
sleigh in some way ran it through the hin
der part OF his belly, scvering some large
arteries, and in few minutes bled to
death.
We have often thought the drumming
through our streets when scores of horses
unused to such sounds are standing and
driving through them, was very great
nuisance; and We hope that this may be a
sufficient warning to prevent more sad
occurrence in the death of human being.

A gentleman who has just arrived in this

BALTIMORE, Sept. 3.
The Baltimore American of to-day says
that no rebel troops were at Winchester on
Thursday except few who were sick.
At Leesburg there are three or four regi-
ments; one at Waterford above the Point of
Rocks, and one at Goose Creek.
Letters from rebel soldiers at Richmond,
state that the troops are in a sad state of
destitution, being barefooted and in want of
suitable clothing. The skins In tannery at
Hillsboro had been taken dripping from the
vats TO convert into shoes.
All the horses from the Union and dis
union farmers had been seized, which cres-
ted the greatest dissatisfaction.
The want of confidence is increasing daily,
the hopes of the rebels being kept up by re-
ports that the general Government had only
1000 troops around Washinfton, and found
it impossibly to recruit any more.

Whr nLen shonId EnIInt.

The n. Y. Tribune gives the following as
some Of the inducements tat should impel
loyal men to promptly enroll themselves in
the army of the Union:
!. The cause. We fight fer the life of the
Nation, the maintenance Of free institutions,
and the protection Of our homes and proper
ty. Patriotism, love Of liberty, and self
preservation, call to arms.
H. Our common soldiers, under the recent
act of Congress, are better paid than those Of
any other nltion.
III. The rations provided for our troops
have been recently increased. They are now
more liberal than those given to any other
army in tie world.
". The clothing furnished we hope will,
from this time onward, be of an excellent
quality. The reign Of ''shoddy" is over.
Y. Camp equipage and hospital furnish
ment are being placed on the very best foot
ing. All the modern improvements to secure
the comfort and health Of the men are being
adopted.
VI. The weapons now being supplied to
all arms Of the service are of the most desir,
able and effective patterns.
VII. For all these expenditures, the Gov
eminent has ample means to pay. Its treas
ury is full, and Its credit firm and unques-
toned.
VIII. Special care is being taken to place
none but competent officers in command Of
regiments, brigsdes, and divisions. Imbe-
cility and ignorance are either resigning, OF
being forced oHt Of the service.
TX. The Autumn, with its healthy sun and
bracing breezes has srrived. The Summer
solstice deferred tens of thousands of North
ern citizens from following their flag into the
sultry rebel States. From this time onward,
for the coming eight months, the count ,
below the Potomac and the Ohio, will, 70
our Northern troops, be one long, genial
sutumn.
Z. The harvest being over, and the hard
times upon Us, swarms of men can find no
employment so profitable, viewed as mere
work for hire, as going into the army. This
is true of traders and mechanics, as well as
farmers, and applies with great force to the
redundant population Of our large cities.
XI. Hereafter, our troops along the from
tier lines will not be compelled to fgbt
against such an Overwhelming superiority Of
numbers as heretotote. It is plain that
henceforward the navy is to givs the traitors
plenty Of employment upon the Atlantic
coast. The rebels will be compelled to with
draw large masses Of their soldiers, now in
the Border States, in order todefend their
menaeed and hsrrassed harbors and iRlets.

How A NAN FEELS WHEN he Is SHoT.-We
take the following from letter written by
one Of the gallant Iowa volunteers, who
fought in the battle near Springfield, Mis-
souri,: 1871
"Iwas standing, or rather kneeling behind
a little bush, reloadiDg my musket, just be-
fore the rebels engaged in this close work re-
treated. Suddenly | felt sharp pain in the
shoulder, and fell to the ground. Jumping
up, one of cur boys asked me if was hurt
| replied l thought moi, drew my musket TO
FIRE, when be said: Yes, you are shot right
through the shoulder l think it was this
remark, more than the wound, which caused
the field, sll at once, to commence Whirling
around me in q very strange manner. l
started to leave it. with half ounce musket
ball in my shoulder, and once or twice fell
down with dizziness; but I'M short time was
recovered sufficiently to be able to walk back
to Springfield, nine miles, where the ball
was taken out"
