A correspondence the Indiana Journal,
writing under date of Cheat Mountain.
Va, Sept. li,h, 1861" says:
Since I last wrote you but little of in
tcrest has transpired in this mountainous
and desolste region. A recent order from
the War Department forbids correspond
ents from making public the movements
of the army or the number Of troops. con.
sequently cannot inform you as to onr
numbers here. and as to the future move
ments of this division / apprehend that
nobody knows. There Is one thing GER
tain. however. and that is that there is now
encamped within ten miles of us a rebel
force OF some ten thousand and another
force equally large is within tweaty miles
Of this point. The first is threatening us.
and the second is making months at the
forces under Col. Wagner anil others. on
the Huttonville road nine miles southwest
of us. So many of the enemy in so close
a proximity. no doubt. will cause fears as
to our safety in the minds Of many of our
friends in the States. but can assure them
that we sleep as well here as though there
were no rebels within thousand miles
| have no fears of an attack in Western
Virginia. nor indeed at any other point.
unless they have largely the advantage. for
experience has shown us that they run on
the first fire unles they are entrenched or
in position that they cannot get away
from. We are all eager to meet them.
and nothing would crafty us so much as
to be attacked by item. for assure You
that should they come they will return
with flea in their ears.

AN INCIDENT OF THE BATTLE OF LEES
BuRG.-The following incident of the bat
tie Of Leesburg we do not recollect to
have seen before in print. 1t is extracted
from the Federal army correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press;
A man named Stokes, who was among
the nest of prisoners, seeing no chance Of
escape, lay down in au open field among
number of the dead, as though he were
really hors du combat. Atleng,h a rebel
sharpshooter, stumbling upon his body,
selected it rs an excellent one for foot
rest. At length the rebel, having made a
very successful shot, sprang up and danced
for joy, well-nigh knocking his foot-stool
into a jelly. "Stop, for Gods sake !''
shouted Stokes. The sharpshooter drew
back, perfectly thunderstruck then divin.
ing the true state of affairs, he shouted
out, You sneaking cuss, get up here p
The ejaculation brought score of rebels
to the spot, aud Stokes, when last seen,
was going off under guard, with very
crest.fullen face.

Cotton Seed for Hogs.

We are informed that an intelligent
planter of this county has tried the ex-
pertinent Of feeding his hogs on cotton
seed, and has been successful. He COM
menced last December feeding thus, and
so continued until after harvest, and then
turned the hogs into the fields. They fed
the whole time except when in the fields
on the seed. His method of preparing
the food, was to boil the seed until of a
soft nature-casily mashing when pressed
between the fingers. Let it stand 36 hours
after boiling and then it is ready to be
put in the trough for feeding. He tried
the experiment this year for the first time,
and although an old planter, has now as
good or perhaps better hogs than he ever
raised before.
We would simply call attention to this,
reterating the fact this planter has been
successful. If hogs can be raised on cot
ton seed, we do not see why the Cotton
States cannot make their own bacon, for
there are thousands of seed on every
plantation that caunot be worth to the
planter more than Is to 25 cents per
bushel; but when turned into bacon
would be worth thrice that amount.
The planter to whom we referred, used
no corn, except when he put up his hogs
to fatten and kill.
What do our planting friends think of
the matter. Is it not worth trying p

A DELIGHTED Mother.

4 mother WHO was in the habit Of
asking her children, before they retired
at night, what they had done through
the day to make others happy, found her
young twin daughters silent. One spoke
nodcstly of deeds and dispositions found
ed ON the golden rule, DO unto others,

Mueelss-A festive party Of young
fellows whiled away the damp hours of
Friday evening in playing the classic
game of Muggins in an up town store.
The night waned away to the small
hours, when it was suggested that they
"play for something" This generally
means lager, cigars, tods, oysters. mat
ters of that kind But as it happened,
all the saloons and such like "dens of
infamy" were closed T; so they had to
make the best of what forleits were
laying around loose. Mo spied a
box of McLane's bilious pills, and pro:
posed that every time a man lost a
game he should take pill. The nov
city and fun of the idea took with the
rest, and they went on playing with
renewed interest. C was the first
loser and he bolted one of the globular
denominations like little man. G'-s
turn came next and he swallowed the
penalty without winking; and 80 the
game went on. There were twenty-five
pills in the box, and three of them were
considered does for all medical pur-
poses. Mo swallowed nine of them,

A CHARACTER USspoTTED.-Money is
a good thing, especially in hard times,
but there is something thousand-fold
more valuable. 1t is character-the con-
sciousness of pure and honorable life.
This it should be O mans first aim TO
preserve at any cost. In such times of
commercial distress, while some are prov
ed and found wanting, others come forth
tried as by fire. Here and there one
comes out Of the furnace far more of o
man than before. Amid the wreck of
his fortune he stands crect-a noble spe-
cincn of true manhood. We have occa-
sionally witnessed an example of courage
in such crisis, of moral intrepidity, that
deserved all honor. Let it be the aim
of every business man, above all things
else, to keep his purity unstained. This
is his best possession-this is q capital
which can never be taken from hm-this
is the richest inheritance which he can
leave to his Children.

The South Carolina Legislature has
passed resolutions with only one dissent
ing voice, expressive Of confidence in the
patriotism and ability Of President Da.
Wis and the Administration. This is more
gratifying from the fact that some efforts
seem to have been made in that quarter
to impair confidence in the conduct of the
Confederate affairs. We are glad to sec,
however, that, with such gratifying unan-
unity, the legislature of South Carolina
has endorsed the universal judgment of
the other States, and shares in the univer-
sel sentiment of hearty confidence

POPULAR MEAsUREs.-The feeling of
the House and the people on the subject
of sustaining Com. Wilkes was shown by
the unanimity with which the vote OF
thanks to him was passed, and the words
of satisfaction that passed along the gal
leries. When the resolutions calling up
on the President to contine Mason and
Slidell in felons' cells so long as Col.
Corcoran and Weed were so treated by
the Confedcrates, the applause that re-
sounded from the gallery showed how
deep was the feeling of the people upon
the subject of the. barbarous treatment of
those gallant men.
