The Battle of CYnthiana.

The stack on C~ynthiana was a
surprise to our troops who were
stationed there, for it was deter
mined only an hour before to march
upon the guerriIlas believed to be
at LeeSburg, so soon as "all hands
had taken dinner. Morgan, how
ever, came when not expected, his
main attack being on the railroad
side of the town.
The appearance of about two
hundred Infantry on the river side
was merely a "ruse" to deceive the
Federals, which seems to have sue
ceeded, for the guerrillas had no
sooner come in sight than the
tweIve-ponnd brass piece from Gin
cinnati, which vas stationed at the
Court house yard, opened on them
before they reached the wooden
bridge over the Licking. While
engaged in playing on the infantry
Colonel Landrum was astonished
to find that the main body OF the
enemy was advancing down Pike
street from BroadwelI's Hill.
Orders were Instantly given tt
change the position of the cannon
The Horses were quickly mounted
and away went tllepiece numbering
up Pike street in the direction o
the advancing enemy. When near
ly opposite Raukiu's Hotel, the gun
was unlimbered, and preparation
made to open out on the rapidly
approaching columns, but before
the first discharge was made, til,
rcbellcavalry made a dash at thu
gun and captured it with all ease
While this was going on, anoth

Toronto Leader has been thrown
into spasms again at the discovery
that recruiting tor the National
Army is in progress in Canada
1t says:
For some time past the walls OF
the city have been placarded with
bills calling for a large number of
Iiaborers to work on a railroad in
Pennsylvania, which may or may
not have an existence, for all VIC
know. We believe these bills had
the effect of inducing some two
hundred laboring men to leave the
city to engage in work on this
railroad. 1t has been questioned
however, whether these men were
really required as laborers; and
there are reasons to believe thai
the kind of work for which they
were wanted was of a very differ.
ent nature. We have additional
reasons for regarding the lotiica'
lions as a mere kidnapping scheme
from the fact that II similar trick
has been tried in the city of New
York itself.
