FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
A Battle at Washington.

THE qEBELs DEFEATED AFTER A HARD FIGHT.
The rebels surprised the town of Washing
ton n. c., at daybreak on the morning of the
9th inst, but were repulsed after two hours
Carolina Union volunteers, under Col. Potter,
fought with the greatest bravery and most de-
termined heroisn. Col. Potter had a horse
shot under him. Companies b, and ID, of the
24th Massachusetts regiment were in the action,
and none of them were killed several, how
ever were wounded. Our force engaged was
only 500. In addition to our killed and woun-
died. we have four men missing. A large num-
Der of the rebels were wounded. Gen. Foster
and staff went to Washington, n. G., on Sun
day. Col. Stevenson will have command of
Newbern in Gen. Fosters absence.
How they Made Purchases in Frederick.
While the rebel force was in Frederick, Brad
ley Johnson, the Provost Marshal, issued an
order compelling merchants and farmers to re.
ceive Confederate money in payment for goods
and stock, on pain of losing it, He took his
own regiment to shoe store, and compelled
the proprietor to deliver over his stock fol their
use, giving him Il receipt for payment in the
name of the Confederate Government.
Tired of the Service.
Five other prisoners brought into Rockville
Saturday morning, and belonging to the TWEEN
ty-seventh North Carolina Regiment, complain
that they are tired of the service, and do rot
wish to be exchanged. They were covered with
vermn. and presented most wretched APP
pearance.
Reason for Going to Maryland.
The raid upon Maryland, these prisoners say
was necessity. After me battle, they had the
alternative to go North for supplies, or to re.
turn to Richmond otherwise they must have
starved. Before leaving Gainesville intion'
were distributed, consisting of four crackers
and bit of meat which they were told mus
last them till they reached Maryland The,
also got a taste of the whisky stolen from ON
| hospital train. They say the North Caroline
troops are the worst used and least cared for il
the rebel service.
Refugees from Richmond.
Five refugees from Richmond, brought VI
the river by the gunboat Jacob Bell, were ex
amned by the Provost Marshal yesterday
They left Richmond n week ago last Friday

VERMONT PnGNIx: You will have heard,
ere this reaches you, that Gen. Phelps's policy
regarding negroes triumphs in New Orleans.
A wonderful revolution has taken place. The
Delta is full of advertis ements Of colored COM
panies recruiting in the city; our patriotic
colored fellow citizens are called on to join the

women and babies, protected and fed in our
lines. A battery is to be formed and manned
from among them many officers stand ready
to command and drill them as infantry, the
chaplain distributes spelling books among the
adults, and is forming school for the children,
and when the sugar crop is ripe it may he these
sons and daughters of the soil will harvest it
for Government. We have had a successful
scouting party which brought home cattle and
sh eep enough for some time to come and ex-
petitions of a more important character are an
tcipated. We lament the double misfortune
of our brothers of the 18th in the death of Col.
Roberts, and in the temporary loss of their
colors. This last we consider rather misfor-
tune than fault a misfortune consequent up
on prolonged sickness and depressing hard
ship beforehand, SIS well as on their very trying
positions and circumstances at the time of the
fight. 1t was emphatcally one of the sad
"ch0nceS Of ,rdr," one from which on the first
opportunity the 1h will rise to prove them
selves worthy of their native and gallant State.

of the gallant deeds and merilorious services of

and a better fate.
Glorious as it is to die for ones country, yet
his regi cent gave him the inexpressible pain of
seeing it break in confusion when not pressed
by the enemy, and refuse to march to the aid
OF the outnumbered and almost overwhelmed
lndianians.
The 7th Vermont Regiment, by fatal mis-
take, had already fired into the same regiment
they had refused to support, killing and woun-
ding several.
The Commanding General therefore excerpts

ARE DR.. HURD's PREPARATIONS GOOD ?

| The best evidence that they are is: that theil
| firmest friends and best patrons are those who
have used them longest. DR.. WILLIAM B.
! HURD is an eminent Dentist of Brooklyn
| Treasurer of the New York State Dentists
| Association, and these preparations have been
used in his private practice for years, and nc
! leading citizen Of Brooklyn or Williamsburgh
questions their excellence, while eminent
| Dentists of New York recommend them as the
best known to the profession. Without the
aid of advertising, dealers have sold them by
the gross.
The Editor fthe Brooklyn Daily Times says
ave are happy to know that our friend, DR.
Hurd, is succeeding beyond all expectations
with his Mouth Wash and Tooth Powder. The
great secret of his success rests with the fact
that his articles are precisely what they are
represented to be, as we can testify from their
long use"
The wel-known P. T. Barnum writes :-el
found your Tooth Powder so good that my
family have used it all up. We find it the
best Powder for the teeth that we ever used.
I shall feel obliged if you will send me another
supply at the Museum at your convenience,
with the bill"
But their cost is so small that every one
may test the matter for himself
Beware of the ordinary Tooth Powders. DR..
I1urd's Tooth Powder contains no acid, nor
alkali, nor charcoal, and polishes without
wearing the enamel. Use no other.
WHAT DOES DR.. HURO'S REMEDIES EFGECT?
DR.. Hurd's MoHth Wash and Tooth Po,cder
will give young ladies that finest charm in
woman-a sweet breath and pearly teeth. Try
them, ladies.
Dr. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth Po,cder
will cleanse the mouth from all foul exhala-
tions, and if used in the morning, will make
the breakfast taste sweeter and the day begin
more pleasantly. Hundreds of persons can
testify to this. Try them, gentlemen.
Dr. Hurd's Mouth Wash and Tooth Inowder
are the best preparations in the world for cur
ing BAD BREATH and giving frmness and health
to the gums. Hundreds of cases of Diseased
Bleeding Gums, Sore Mouth, Canker, etc,
have been cured by DR.. Hurd's astringent wash.
D. Hurd's .aOuth Wash and Tooth Po,cder
give an additional charm to courtship, and
make husbands more agreeable to their wives
and wives to their husbands. They should
be used by every person having ARTIFICIAL
TEETH which are liable TO impart taint to
the mouth.
DR.. Hurd's Toothdchc Drops cure Toothache
arising from exposed nerves, and are the best
friends that parents can nave in the house to
save their children from to-tue and themselves
from loss Of sleep and sympathetic suffering
Farmers and Mechanics you cannot well
afford to neglect your teeth. For a triflng
sum, you can now get preservatives, than
which Rothschild or Astor can get nothing
better. Remember that Dyspepsia and Con-
sumption of the Lungs often originate in Neg
lect of Teeth. Send for the Treatise on Teeth,
and read DR.. Fitchs observation on this sub
ject. If too late to arrest decay in your own
teeth, save your childrens teeth.
