is stated that securely has this been accomplished

the 18th instant. The Western route of communities

strictest surveillance at Nashville and BY proper

ANOTHER ARRIVAL OF MARYLAND EEFUeEEs.

The Richmond Enquirer Of the 10th ssys:- The
Fredericksburg cars that arrived yesterday morn
ing brought down an addition to the number of
refugees already here from Maryland. They report
as we hear that the notorious Dan Sickles and his
brigade-had invaded st. Msrys and other counties
in Maryland, of known Southern Prochvitiss, and
had announced their intention by speech and action,
ofarrestng and imprisonihg al the. Inhabitants not
known to be obedient to the Washington Ohgarchy.
This had caused general stampede, though nu-
merous arrests had been effected, It is related
that an Abolition Colonel or General had been slain
by an indignant citizen, whom he had ATTEMPTED, in
company with some of his pyrmidems, TO capture
against his will and consent. The parties who have
thus far succs ID in elu1ng the grasp Of the ty-
rants did so by making their way across the Poto-

THE GOVERNMENT cURRESer.
PAY OF rHE coSFEDERArE STATES ARMY.

The rates of the pay Of our army are not only
excessive but obviously most unequal and unjust in
the proportion between the pay of officers and that
Of privates. We pay our officers nearly double what
the Federal Government pays, and our priTates two
dollars less per month than the rates Of lincoln.
In our army coloRel gets Sl75 per month; a lieu
first lieutenant 500; second lieutenant $50 &c.
These rates are about double and, in some instan-
ces more than double, whatQhe United States Gov
eminent pay its officers Of the same grade. It is
plain, as mattersOf. Justice well az Of economy
that the salaries of olcers should be considerably
reduced, and the pay Of privstes increased. We
know Of no good reason for fixing the pay Of our
army in advance Of that Of the United States

ANorHER IysTALNENr OF HEssIANs.

The Richmond Examiner of the 10th says There
arrived yesterday, via. Central Railroad, 81 Hes
sisas, captured by Savage and Donslsons Tennessee
regiments, of Gen. Lees command, between Big
Spring and Huttonsville. Disclaiming all intention
to be profane, we can truly say we never saw
more thieving dirty lousy, Christless and God for
srken set of scoundrels in our life. Had all the
poor houses in the West been rausseked, more
motley looking mob, could not have been paraded.
No wonder that such fellows steal when an oppor-
tunity is afforded them. The same train brought
down II prisoners captured by General Floyd IN
Western Virginia. They were also hard looking
subjects, and were no doubt let out of the Ohio
Penitentisry on condition of enlisting. Their ap>
pearance bears out the assertion.

Another Great Bethel Affair,

Gen. Cox, ON his march up the Kanawha, last
week, encamped one night in the vicinity of the
Red House, about SO miles up that stream; and
during the night occurred another Great Bethel af-
fair, only on a smaller scale. 1t seems that a por-
tion of the lst Kentucky Regiment, with the Gener-
al commanding, was called out shortly after dark
(for what purpose is not stately and while in line a
gun was accidentally discharged, which led to the
belief that they were surprised by the enemy. The
wings of tee line which seem to have been crescent
shaped, Immediately fired upon each other. Two
men were instantly killed, both having been shot
through the head, and several others Wounded
Among the wounded were two Wood county boys

Lewis of Milton Center.

Printers. Attention.

There is an allusion in the speech Of General
Cameron that should be read and pondercd by ev-
cry Young printer in the country. When he rose to
reply to toast proposed in honor Of the Secretary
of War, he told the company that while the senti-
ment being read, he could not realize that the
compliment was couehcd to him, because Just then
he was gazing at his venerable friend, Colonel Sc
ton, Of the proprictors Of the Ntoaal ieiigen-
or, who, only few years since, paid him his wa
gcs as u jouUcyman printer. We want our young
fellow craftsmen to think of this acknowledgment
AMI study the progress Of this distinguished printer
who yet clings to the memory Of his "typo" days.
and who is still as familiar with good spacing -
and regular classification" as the best compositor
who boasts Of his thousands" Only few years
ago Simon Cameron set type and measured his mat
ter in the old h,ciyeaeer office. Only few years
ago, he was an obscure printer, waiting for copy.
To-day he is one Of the most prominent members
of an administration that is destined to become
more memorable than any other that has preceded
it will come after it, in the history of the Gov
crnmcnt. To-day he is at the head Of department
upon which rests the responsibility of rescuing this
nation from rcbellion--marahaling armies for the
ii,ld instead of measuring matter for newspaper.
There is a sublime lesson in such triumphs, which
others besides printer boys can learn. II tolls us
that there is a bcckoniug hand and cheerful voice
at the opening to every useful path in this sN land
of the free and the home oc the brave 1t tells us
that energy stern devotion to principle cha, actor
and integrity, will bear man TO higher honor than
pcrlum,d praise or purchased favor can win in a
lifetime.

Dr.. RICHARDSON'S SHERRY WINE BlTTERs.-In
1905 DR.. Nathan Richardson, physician residing
in South Reading, Mass, discovered and proved in
his extensive practice in that place and ncighbOring
towns the beneficial effects of the medicine now
given to the world as the Sherry Wine Btters. The
success Of Dr. Richardson's practice becoming her-
aided throughout the New England States, his bus
mess SO increased, that he was soon compelled to
rcnquish the visiting system, and establish offices
in different parts of the State, where, stated days
he met his patients. Sunday was the only day that
he could be found at home, and many of the present
inhabitants Of South Reading will well remember
the tlrong of carriages that always surrounded his
house on the Sabbath.
The present proprietor DR.. s. o. Richardson,
(son of the late DR.. Nathan RicharisOnD gradu-
ate of the New Hampshire Medical College, where
he received his degrees with usual honor, and also
a member of the Medical Society Of Boston, for the
purpose of relieving his aged and honored parent
from his ardous duties, was induced to rcinquish
his valuable practice in the city of Boston to super
intend the Manufacture Of this medicine as it re
quires great skill and accuracy in its preparing.
