engaged are subject to injuries of the ear, BY the
heavy and long sustained discharge of the powerful
artillery. Numerous cases Of ruptured membrane,
with more or less permanent deafness, will be found
among the returning soldiers In the artillery, the
effect of position with reference to the gun is pecu
liar Those men who stand nearest the muzzle feel
the report most but all who to the leeward suffer
more than those to the wndward Let the medical
staff of each regiment keep prepared quantity Of
gyccrine, mixed with belladonna, say about in the
proportion of forty grains of the latter to the
of glycerine oil. Let each gunner be provided be-
fore an engagement, with wool or cotton the former
is preferable) saturated with the MIXTURE to place
in his ears. 1t will not prevent his hearing the
word of command or the drum, and will prevent
great deal of injury. The therapeutic Of the pre-.

ed by little water, and will efectually pre-
vent the vibration of the air striking injuriously
upon it. 1t would also be useful to those exposed
to dampness when camping on: at night, the organ
in question being extremely sensitive to the night

The Richmond Enquirer gives the following au-
thentic account of this fight. 1t says that Capt
Richard Ashby who received gun shot wound in
his side besides several sabre cuts is recovering
The Enquirer says:
There we're two skirmishes on the afternoon Of
the 26th June, Captain Ashby's command being en-
gagged with the enemy. In the first encounter,
Richard Ashby led five men to the charge against
about forty; about two hours afterwards Captain
Turner Ashby came to the field with thirteen men.
As he advanced upon them, two of his men were
shot down, his own horse being killed under him.
He led, however, his remaining ten men to gallant
but desperate charge upon upwards Of sixty Of the
enemy, who were ambushed upon an island, and
very much concealed by driftwood. The enemy
were entirely routed losing Is men, 10 ~ horses
(Which We have) or 10 rifles and as many pistols
We lost only 2 men killed, and wounded. Of the
wounded was Lieut. Richard Ashby who was very
badly wounded having been bayonetted twice after
he was supposed to be killed. The surgeon, how
ever, has very strong hopes Of his recovery.

From the Memphis Bulletin Of the 9th Juue.
Another victOry-The City Of Alton and Five
Hundred Cairoites Captured at Cape Girar-
deau.
1t was understood last Saturday that there were
about 800 Missouri State troops encamped at Jack
son, Missouri, fifteen miles back Of Cape Girsrdeau.
The steamer City Of Alton, with 1000 troops and
two six FOUNDERS left Cairo on Saturday night with
sealed orders understood to be destined for Cape
Girardeau. The Alton proceeded to Commerce.,
Missouri, ten miles below Cape Girardeau, which
latter is about fifty miles above Cairo. Persons
started from Commerce Immediately on the arrival
Of the troops at Commerce to prevent the surprise
of the State troops The Federal troops took only
two days rations with them, and at last accounts
had not returned.
From passenger, who reached the city last
night, on the steamer Conway, and who left Cairo
on yesterday, we learn that report had reached
that place that the steamer City Of Alton had been
captured at Cape Grardeau, together with 500
prisoners. The report is believed to be entirely
correct as it is well known that much uneasiness
was felt at Cairo, on Monday night, on account of
the non-appearance of the steamer City of Alton
and her crew.
