Letter from Capt. stephens, OF the
Iron Guards.

Editors LntelLigeneer:-
was much surprised at the injustice
which H., your correspondent, has done
the company under my command, in his
report of the rout at Phillippi. He says
1.-The Henry Clay Guards especially distin-
guished themselves. The rest OF Got.
keilv's command had not the same oppor-
tunities." Now the fIcts of the case were
that though the Henry Clay Guards, on
account OF knowledge of the country
which their captain possessed, were given
the front or right of the column, yet imme-
dintely behind them were the Iron Guards,
and upon our arrival ut Phillippi they
were close together. When in the town
they were mixed so as not to be distin-
guished from each other.
After Col. Kelley was wounded, quite Il
number of the Clay'Guards stayed to take
care of him, the rest, with the Iron and
Madison Guards, pushing forward. The
men, though very much fatigued by for
ced march chased the rebels for some
thousand yards. The Clay Guards, pres
ent by their own request, being join
ed to the Iron Guards under their officers,
and the only man wounded besides the
Colonel, was a. D. Work, private in the
Iron Guards.

their exerlions, no mention at "li is made

The Fate of PhiIIippi as Warning
TO Western Virginia.


II uy one wants 70 see what secession
will do for Western Virginia community,
let him go TO Phil,ippi and the adjacent
country, and see what it has done for that
section. 1t has paraIizei all that region.
II has invited the arms of the government
and the desolating tramp of soldiery. 1t
has stopped the plough in the furrow-the
hoe around the corn hills, and all the basy
details of agriculture. 1t has driven an af-
frighted people from their homes for fear
oftheir lives, and their houses are tenant
ell by troops sent among them to put down
the rebellion. The town of Phillippi is al
most Il waste. Every little industry about
the place has stopped, and nine-tenths of
the people have gone no one knows where.
Many, if not most of the inhabitants had
voted the secession ticket, and they in
their ignorance supposed that they would
either be hung or shot for SO doing. So
they fed. The Union men had fed from
the secession soldiery some days before,
and now the secessionists in their turn have
fed from the government soidiery. And
thus the town and much of the country
round about. bears "a deserted look. There

col. BENTON on TIE SLAVERY AGITATION.
The regular Inauguration of this slavery
agitation dates from the year 1856; but it
had commenced two years before, and in
this way: nuIlificntion and disunion had
commenced in 1880 upon complaint against
protective tariff. That, being put down
in 1893 under President Jackson's procIa-
nation and energetic measures, was imme-
diately substituted by the slavery agita-
rion. Mr.. Calhoun, when he went home
from Congress in the spring of that year,
told his friends ''that the south could
never be united against the north on the
tariff questiou-that the sugar interest of
Louisiana would keep her out-nnd that
the basis of the Southern Union must be
shifted to the slave question" Then all
the papers in his interest, and especially
the one at Washington, published by Mr..
Duff Green, dropped tariff agitation and
commenced upOu slavery, and in two years
had the agitation ripe for Inauguration on
the slavery question. And. to tracing this
agitation to its present stage, and to COM
rrehend is rationale, il is not to be for
gotten that it is mere continuation of old
tariff disuiIiun. and preferred because more
avaiiable.-Thirty years in The Senate Uol

A New Disc very in Wine Making

A new discovery made bv wine grower
near Bordeaux, France has Just been made
public, and has somewhat startled the old
and steady wine factors makers, and doc
tors of that place. The discovercr of the
natural phenomenon by which wines are
rende' ed at once fit for bottling, without the
long probation they lave hitherto been
made to undergo has been for some years
living in the mountains In the various
qualities Of wine grown Ly him he was
struck with the difference of development
of maturity which took place, according to
to the temperature of the cellar in which
the barrels were stored. The higher up the
mountain the sooner did the wine arrive at
perfection. The reason Of the difference
soon became clear-atmospheric pressure
diminishes gradually as the region rises
above the level of the sea. This discovery
induced the experiment of raising and di
minishing at will the atmospheric pressure
upon the barrels and with the most perfect
success, it is said, so as to make old wine in
as many days as it formerly took months.
