STRANGE.-Edward Barrett, of Vevay,
Ind, writes that on the 9th inst, moving
down to New Orleans on hay boat, about
three miles below Uniontown, KY, horse,
harness, and buggy were floating with the
stream, and which they secured and towed
to shore, when they found the body of a
man entangled in the wheels of the buggy.
The man was apparently about 40 years of
age, about feet or 10 inches in height,
black hair and whiskers had on a blue
shirt, pants, and boots, but no coat. A bay
horse silver mounted harness, and plated
mounting on buggy. Supposed to have
been in the water some time. They made
the man fast to a tree and left him, and left
the buggy and harness in the care of a man
named McRyon, who lives in a log cabin,
the second house above the Wabash river,
on the Indiana side, in Posey county.

A Card to the Public.

The amount of bodily ard mental misery arising
from neglect of small complaints, is incaleulable
and it is therefore of the utmost Importance that
strict attention to the least and most tring bodily
ailments should be hads for disease of the body in
variably affects the mind. DIR. MOFFATT'S VEG
ETABLE LIFE MEDICINES, in every instance
where they have been thoroughly used, have TRI-
UMPHED OVER DISEASE in almost all its di-
versiied forms. The salutary effects of the Life
Medicines have, in fact, been universally expe-
rienced that they have become fully established as
the most easy, safe and perfect mode of treatment
ever offered to the public.

Proclamation.
TRUE MEN OF THE SoUTH, TO THE
REsCURl

TRUE MEN OF THE SoUTH, TO THE
REsCUBl
WHBREAs, Abrahami Lincoln, President of
the Northern States, has seen fit to make
a call upon the States of the Union for
$4,000 men, for the declared purpose of
subjugating the States of the Southern
Confederacy, and making them subservient
to his will. And Whereas, such call is
repugnant to the feelings of the people Of
the Border States, and must, therefore, be
treated with contempt; And, Whereas, also,
the Republicans of the North are heaping
insult and injury upon friends of the South
in their midst, and have forced them to
leave their homes in the North, in cOnse-
quence thereof;
We, loyal citizens of the South, who
have pledged our lives, our property and
our sacred hOnOrs in support of the Govern
ment of the Confederate States, deem it
incumbent upon us to urge the immediate
arming of all our able bodied men who are
willing to resist the cohorts OF the North.
We also urge all friends of the South to be
vigilent, and use their utmost efforts to pre-
serve the honor and integrity of our now
united South. Our safety requires that
those living in our midst who do not wish
to abandon their allegiance to LincOln's
goVernment-who are in favor of negro
equality and the degradation of the white
race-should leave this city as soon as pos
sible. That a number of men from the
North who have made their homes in this
city are true to the South, there is no doubt.
But there are others whom it will not do to
trust; they are men who, Notwithstanding
they have made all they are worth from
Southern patronage, are recreant to the
South, and in her hour of peril will prove
l.
compelled to leave here. We do not counsel
force for this purpose, unless refusal is
given to comply with such demand. Let
the proprietors of business houses-machine,
carpenter, and cabinet shops, foGndries,
printing offices, paint and tailor shops, ho-
tells and boarding houses, report Immediate
ly the names of all those whom they know
cannot be trusted as friends to the South.
1t is important that this be done; the Sc
curity of our property and the safety of our
families demand it. Our gallant sons who
are anxious to march wherever the service
of the South requires them, wish to carry
with them the consoling thought that they
have not left behind them lurking enemy,
who, while lingering around their homes
and firesides, would incite our negroes to
/ 'iHsurrection, and bring the worst calamities
upon our wives, our mothers and our
daughters.
Those who are not for us are against US.
Let every citizen remember that Eternal
Vigilance is the price of Liberty"

CANDLES SOLD BY ACTUAL WEIGHT
-" 1t is well known that many Star Candles that
really seven TO the pound are branded and sold
% skies" There is a disadvantage and Il loss la
this practice to both retailers and consumers,
if the Candles are bought at a reduction Of cents
per fb. from the price Of the regular article Thus
A box of 4" sixes," short gCeigLt contains 240
Candles, and is sold for 40 lbs, say at l8c
per ST 90
A box of SeVens containing the same num-
Der of Candles, same size, is sold for 81
MS, actual weight, at 20 ccnts............. so
Difference in favor Of buying weight.......... 40
And this differences becomes greater the price
advances. It is obvious that the retailer get
no more for his 24O candles in one case than in
other, consequently, on every hundred boxes of
short weight he sells, he loses forty dollars

A wan from South Carolina.

The Charleston Mercury Of November Sth
has the following wall over the rebel dis
comfiture at Port Royal by the Naval Expe-
dition:
South Carolina began the war, and il is
perhaps, fitting in the nature of things, that
she should end it. The rage and hate of
her enemies have precipitated them on her
coast. They come to punish her for daring
TO assert her libeI ties and independence.
Hence, as General Butler of Massachusetts,
says: The war is TO be illuminated by her
burning cities and villages" We have
foreseen, and have deprecated the wretched
policy which has induced the invasion of the
State. We have wished that il could have
been otherwise, and the redemption ofMary-
land, and the protection of South Carolina
had been accomplished by fighting on the
banks of the Potomac.
But since all our efforts 10 shield South
Carolina from Invasion have failed, we
await with cheerfulness the fate which is
upon us. There are few calamities without
some redeeming advantages 10 those who
suffer. We can, and we will make this in
vasiOn another occasion for Illustrating the
characteristics of Southern soldiers. 'T4et
the invaders come, is the unanimous feeling
of our people. Our Yankee enemies will,
sooner or later, learn to their cost, the diff
ference between invaders for spois and
power, and defenders of their liberties, their
homes and their native land. If they can
take Charleston with $4,000 men, let them
haveit. We are unworthy to possess it; and
it will be fitting memorial-laid in ashes
of our imbecility and base degeneracy.
But if, on the contrary. we shall give TO
every one Of our invaders, who shall remain
on our soil, prison above it or grave
beneath it, will it not end the contest? Car
olinians, the great cause of the Confederacy
rests on your arms. Strike for the inde-
pendence Of the Confederate States, your
homes and your native lan6. 1t has pleas
ed God to place upon you the responsibility
of closing, as He did that of commencing,
this glorious war. Free and far, let your
names spread amongst the nations of the
earth as one of the freest, bravest and
most enlightened people that has lived in
the tide of time. Let us all, with one heart,
repeat the noble sentiment of one of her
dead sons: "It is better for South Carolina
to be the cemetery of freemen than the
home Of slaves"

The Massacre at Gusxandette.

A dispatch from Cincinnati, of Novem.
Der 18th, gives the following particulars of
the massacre Of Federal troops at Guayan-
dotte, in Southwestern Virginia, and the
subsequent destruction of the town:
The defeat of the Union forces at Quay
andOtte was accomplished by triekery on
the part of the inhabitants. 1t seems that
force of rebel cavalry, variously estimated
at 500 to 200, had concentrated in The
country back of the town. These proposed,
with the assistance of The rebel Inhabitants
Of GayandOtte, to annihiIate the Union for
ces in the town. This force consisted Of
250 VirginiaDs belonging to Virginia
Regiment, and few Of Col. Zeigers 5th
Virginia Volunteers. 1t was arranged be.
tween the rebel cavalry and rebel citizens
TO massacre our troops inIcold blood. Ac-
cordingly the rebel citizens were very kind
TO our troops las; Sunday evening, aud in-
vited them to their houses on various pre-
texts, and all who were Off duty accepted
the invitation. While they were being en-
terained, at about half.past eight o'clock
at night. the rebel cavalry dashed into the
town. Signals were displayed from every
house where the Union troops were, and
into these the rebels rushed, numbering the
unarmed soldiers in cold blood. The rebel
ctizens-men, women and cbiIdren-rushed
TO arms, and aided the cavalry 10 the
slaughter. The Union troops in camp pre-
pared as soon as possible for defense, but
were Overpowered and had to break. Very
few men were killed in the engagement
with the cavalry. nearly all being murdered
10 the houses. When Col Zeigler arrived,
and on learning the particulars of the af.
fair, be ordered the destruction of the town =.
The buildings we're Immediately fired, aud
the whole town was reduced to ashes.
