E9 The exploit of the Union troops at
d" Blue Gap" is but an earnest of what our
soldiers could do if their officers would give
them an opportunity They left Romney
at midnight, and notwithstanding the
ground was covered to a depth of four
inches with snow, marched all night and
attacked the rebels at day break. Our boys,
we have no doubt, " went in" with regu-
lar western whoop, while the secesh went
out" with stampede. They were sur
Drised, and sloped. Had the Western boys
remained in their camps at Romney, shiver-
ing around their camp fires, until the rebel
Gen. Jackson had perfected his arrange
ments and consolidated his forces, they
would have been attacked by such numbers
that resistance would have been useless.

By Some soldiers have been engaged in
quarrying stone for some time past, in the
vicinity of Carrsville, KY, but ON the OPP
posite side of the river. Finding them
selves getting short of provisions, they dis
patched q small party to Carrsville to lay in
a fresh supply. A squad of rebel cavalry
dropped into the village, about the same
time, and "gobbled up" the Union troops.
Deeming an explanation necessary, several
of the citizens visited the camp across the
river to demonstrate that they were entirely
innocent ofsany completely in the surprise
of the Federal troops. Their explanations
appear to have been unsatisfactory, for they

When to Sell a Colt.

\ farmer makes quite as much money
by selling at the right time as by cheap
ness in production. Stock as well as
crops are kept too long for the greatest
profit. A bushc OF potatoes sold III
July frequently brings dollar; in Sep
tcmbcr, forty cents, though the cost of
production is the same. \ lamb sold IN
time for three dollars, often brings more
net profit than the fat wethcr sold at two
years old A pig will frequently bring
four dollars at eight weeks old. At eight
months we'll fa;tcned, he will only bring
twenty dollars, after eating twenty dol
lars worth of proyendcr. With this re-
suit it is easy to see the time to sell pigs
in some sections.
1t is not so easy to know whcu to dis
pose Of u young horse. As colt may
sell at wcaning time, say four months old,
for twenty dollars, or fifty, if handsome
animal. 1t has not cost much to raise
him, for he has lived on his mothers milk,
and she has paid her way by work. But
when he is put up for the winter, his
keeping begins to count He can do
nothing in the way of sefsupport until
thee years old, and it were better per-
haps not to work him much even thcn.-
If well kept he can not cost much less
than a hundred dollars before he is tit to
work, in any regiol where bay is worth
fifteen dollars a tun. lie may sell for
three hundred dollars or more, but the
chances are that he will sell for no more
than the cost of his keeping. The farmer
may not lose anything, but he will onIy
have made fair market for his hay and
pasture. Iu the sale Of colt during his
first Summer or Fall, the price Is al
profit. There is little risk about it, and
the venture is made certainty. If tho
sire be a bloolcd animal, the colt viii
generally sell for enough more to pay fol
the price Of his services, and often to pay
for them many times over. 1t is most IL
keeping with our calling to make tho
profits sure, though small.

General Pope.

The retreat of Gen. Pope with hi

upon by the friends of other Generals to
abuse him and to injurc him in the cst
nation of the public. We know nothing
of Gen. Pope except so far as he is know
to the public by his actions at the Wes'
where he performed wonders. lie was
placed in command in Virginia in order
to threaten the rebel front while the army
on the James River could be extricated
from its pcrilous position. He advanced
with small force to the Rapidan Rye'
and annoyed the enemyby his dash and
the rapidity OF his movements. During
the transit of the army of the Peninsula
TO Alexandria, he was attacked by the
combined force of the enemy which he
managed to defeat at every point down to
Saturday, Aug. 30th, when he was forced
to retreat to Centrcville, fighting all the
time. This retreat was in consequence
of the failure to reinforce him, as he ex-
pected he would be. Where the blame
is we do not know, and must wait until
the factcs are made public He has
shown himself to be fighting General
and has done nobly. lie has inflicted Sc
we're punishment upon the enemy and

the country great service and he should

massed together in front, and it is to be
hoped they will not again be separated,
but fall upon the rebel forces in such over
whclming numbers as to defeat them III
Virginia and we believe the Govern
ment mean to do this. We do not be-
lieve in praising one geneaa to the skies
and in abusing every other general, be-
cause there is some political capital to be
made by it. If the Union cause is ruined
it will be in consequence Of the people
taking sides and becoming the partizan OF
this and that general, which partzanship
will work into the army and create di-
vision there which would be disastrous
For our part We say let General llallcck
have his way and back him up, and not
whine because our particular tavorltes
cannot have the lead. The desire to ae-
complsh party ends is the greatest enemy

"I Have not Begun to Fight
vet y

The above language Of the gallant and
brave Paul Jones, when the British com.
manler asked if he had struck his flag
and surrendered, are memorable words
Although his deck was slippery and
streaming with the blood of his gallant
crew, his guns every one dismounted, his
colors shot away, and his vessel gradually
sinking, Paul Jones, with an immortal he
roisun, continued to fight.
DO you surrender ?" shouted the
English captain desiring to prevent fur.
thcr blood-shcd, and seeing the colors ol
Bon IIommc Richard gone, supposing the
American hero wished to surrender. His
answer was i" | have not begun to fight
yet p ..ss
The scene is thus described There
was lull in the conflict for an inst mt
ard tine boldcst held his breath as Paul
Jones, covered with blood and black with
powder stains, jumped on broken gun
carrlge, waving his sword, and exclaimed,
in the never-to-be-forgotten words +"
have not begun to fight yeti And the
result was, the tide Of battle changed
and in few minutes the British ship
struck her colors and surrendered. Paul
Jones, leaping from his own ship, stood
upon the deck of the British vessel con-
lueror and hero.
What an admirable watchword for the
battle of life doe, the above stirring in
cdent give to every man. Reverse may
oyerwhelm for time, despair may ask
hope to strike her flag, but planting the
foot more firmly, bending the back more
readily to the burdens imposed, straining
the muscles to the utmost tension, and
braeing the dropping heart, let him who
is driven to the wall exclaim: q have
not begun to fight yet" They are words
of energy, hope and action. They de-
serve, they will command success. In
the darkest hour let them ring out, and
forget the past, the years wasted and gone
by, end give them as an inaugural address
Of a new era. When the misfortunes of
life gather too closely around, let your
battle-cry go forth from the thickest of
the conflict Il have not begun to fight
yet = and you will find your foes fleeing
from the new strength impaired, and
yielding the vantage as you press forward
