Good for the Thirsty Soldiers.

Extreme thirst is one of the most severe
trials the active soldier has TO encounter.
During long march and on the field of
a long and holly contested battle, he is
often almost overcome with fatigue and
thirst. An old frontiersman, who has
had much experienc on the Western Dor
ders and on the plains, suggests the follow
ing as the best remedy and preventive OF
thirst that has ever been discovered: AT.
ter q meal take the coffee grounds, boil
them over again. and pour it off into your
canteen, and let it cool for your next
march. 1t is not only nutritive and slim
ulating, but it will quench the thirst more
effectually than water. 1t will go two or
three times as far as water. Also take
tho coffee grounds, after being thus used
dry them, and put them in your pocket,
and chew then at intervals on the march,
or during any arduous service, and they
will repress thirst, and satiate greatly the
cravings of hunger. This course has been
tried with the most gratifying results.
and is worthy of trial by every soldier in
the service.

The Naval Fight in Hampton Roads

The English journals say that the great
naval battle off Newport News was one OF
the most interesting incidents of the
war--it was brilliant affair. They laud
the extraordinary achievements of the
Virginia, and say that the Confederate
frigate gained an easy victory over her
wooden opponents.
They say the Virginia was not damag-
ed, and recommended the discontinue
ance of the construction of wooden ships,
and the conversion of all government
ships that will bear it into machines of
war similar to the Confederate steamer
Virginia. They say that the success Of
the Virginia shows good heads of the
Navy Department Of the South. The
Times says that the real beginning OF the
campaign may now be witnessed, and
that the troops in Eastern Virginia are
commanded by President Davis.

The Counterfeit Note,

It is very evident that the counterfeit
notes in imitation of a confederate S.
note, described in this paper yesterday, J
gotten up by the Yankees. was printed
merely in derision of our currency
Though an imitation, il is coarse and
plainly intended as burlesque. The
fact that number of this note were pub
licly sold in Philadelphia at FIVE cents
each proves this. Of course, some per-
sons will endeavor to pass them as gen.
uine when they stray over the border /;
but they ought not to deceive any one
who pays the slightest attention to them.
The entire note, filling, and signatures,
is engraved. AS already stated, in the gen.
uine, Immediately behind the large word
Five" the words give Dollars are
numerously printed in fine print. In the
counterfeit they do rot appear at ALL
But, we repeat, the note cannot deceive
any one who pays the slightest attention
to it.-Richmond Dispatch.

Sore Threats.

In these days, when diseases of the
throat are so prevalent, and, in many
cases, so fatal, the use of common salt is
recommended as an effectual remedy. We
commenced by using it three times day
morning, noon, and night. Wedissolv-
ed large tablespoonful of pure table salt
in about half tumblerful of cold wa
ter. With this we gargled the throat
most thoroughly before meal time. The
result has been that during the entire
winter we were not only free from the
usual coughs and colds to which, so far as
our memory extends, we have always
been subject, but the dry, hacking cough
has entirly disagreed. We attribute this
satisfactory result entirely to the salt gar
Gle.

A Large Stampede.

A citizen of Knoxville, who arrived
yesterday afternoon from Granger coun-
ty, states that at o'clock in the morn
ing, near Blain's Cross Roads, he met
some 800 refugees, on their way to Ken
lucky. They were chiefly from Knox
and Granger counties-a few from Jeffer-
son. About one hundred of them were
armed with guns, the remainder with
scythes, pitchforks, clubs, &c. 1t is to
be hoped that our authorities will devise
some prompt means of stopping this ex-
odus of our agricultural population. The
tory leaders who are encouraging it by
the circulation Of exaggerated represent
tations to frighten the uniformed, ought
to be summarily dealt with.-RnorviNe

Can't. John II. Morgan.

1t is undeniable that true courage and
modesty almost invariably go hand in
hand. The official report of Capt. John
III. Morgan of one of his scouting expe-
ditions beyond Murfreesborough, Tenn,
which we published some days ago, af-
fords a striking illustration of this. In
that report, Capt. Morgan, after recount
ing what had been accomplished by his
little command, says:
Returning alone in the direction of
Murfreesboro', | encountered picket of
SIX men, who surrendered to me on be-
ing summoned, and delivered up their
arms"
The Atlanta Confederacy gives the fol.
lowing statement of the affair as It actu-
ally occurred:
While the brave Captain is 50. rssodest
In announcing the successful accomplish
ment of one of the most daring deeds of
the war, we must, for the benefit of his
tory and the pleasure of our readers,
tell of the affair as it actually occur
red.
After having taken 90 prisoners near
Nashville with his rs men, Capt. Morgan
started them back in three different de-
tachments. While subsequently return
ing alone with the intention of overtak-
ing them. as he was crossing the pike he
observed some distance in advance Fed
eral officer. Accosting countryman
who was approaching him from that di-
rection, Capt. Morgan ascertained that
the Yankee was Lieut.. Burns, with a
picket of five men, who at the time were
in house at the side of the road. In
stantly forming his purpose, Capt. Nor
gan loosened his revolvers, buttoned his
Federal overcoat so as to conceal his own
uniform, and galloped up to the picket.
''How are matters, Lieut.. Burns?" said
Captain Morgan, addressing the Yankee
officer.
"All right, Colonel" responded Burns
"Where are your men?" asked Morgan.
"In the house there" replied Burns.
"Nice way of attending to your duty,
sir. Consider yourself under arrest, and
hand me your sword and pistol" said
Capt. Morgan.
His order was promptly obeyed, and
Capt. Morgan then directed Burns to
call out his men singly. After requiring
them to hand to him their sabres and
guns, he ordered them to march.
1--WE are going the wrong direction,
Colonel" said Burns, after they had star
ted.
mo, it's all right. I am Captain Nor
gan" said the brave partisan to his now
thoroughly frightened captives.
At this juncture Capt. Morgan was join
ed by one of his men, Mr.. Spaulding,
who had with him four of the prisoners
taken earlier in the day. After march.
ing all night they safely reached their
command with the ten prisoners.
All this but goes to show what can be
accomplished by a daring, courageous,
yet prudent and discreet man. We

pJ- 1t is stated that the Nashville was
saved from the enemy at Beaufort by
two young lads, the sons of Captains Pc
gram and Sinclair. On hearing that the
Yankees were about to invade the town
of Newborn, they "drummed up" crew,
ran the blockade, and arrived safely in
another Southern port. The daring OF
these two young men, following the ex-
ample of their illustrlous fathers, cannot
be too highly extolled.
