IA Infant Pound.

On FRIDAY night last, about Q O'Clock,
upon being aroused from our sleep by the
barking OF our dog. we heard some per.
son running through the yard. Immedi-
ately after which was heard the sound Of
a baby crying. Upon getting up VIC
found it lying upon our door step, sup
posed to be two or three days old. 1t
was a malo child with fine appearance,
with black hair and plainly of it. Search
was made Immediately to 'overtake the
person who brought it. but in vain An
effort is still being made 10 ascertain
where it belongs, and it is hoped the cruel
and unnatural mother may yet be found
to take care of her child. 1t has been
taken to the Poor House, whore it will be
we'll cared for until, if ever, it is placed
IN Its proper home.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE GATE CRY
The statement IN this mornings Constitu-
ton to the effect that 'the afflrniaca Of
the judgment in the case of Rush IS Hen
ry county, has established the validity OF
cou~tJ l.alroad bonds is entirely erro-
neous- The question of validity and con-
stitutionaltty Of these bonds remains un-
decided and open for future adiudica-
ton.
The facts in relation to the case above
alluded TO, are these:
For reasons, not Necessary TO specify,
but which were considered entirely su!fi
cient, it was not deemed good policy 10
risk the question upon the result Of that
case in the u. S. Supreme Court
The attorney representing Henry COM
ty, with the full concurrence of the au-
thorities OF that county, (and indeed I'M
der their instiuctions) consented to an
aIiirmancc Of the judgment below trithout
on ogiaio,. and without damages. thus
LeaYing the question entirely open for tu-
tu'e adjudication in case wherein the
defense can be more fully and accurately
made. G. w McCaEARY.

To the Ministers OF Keokuk.

The following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted at a regular
meeting of Sunbeam Lodge, No. ], |. O.
ot e. t., on the 18th inst.
WHEREAS, We are panied to notice
the sin of drunkenness ard wiokedHess is
increasing in our city, while temperance
people aud christians are looking on with
apparent Indifference and, whereas, we
are fully impressed that the Lodge should
exert its influence in such manner as will
be most likely to get the christian portion
of community to thinking on the subject
of temperance, which If tsot arrested, will
certainly swallow them up; and, whereas,
we are of the opinion that the truth spok-
en- from the pulpit will accomplish great
good, and believing that all Ministers are
with US in heart, if not in person, and
would cheerfuly assist in bringing the
subject before the people, therefore
Rcsoiped, That we respectfully request
each Minister of this city to deliver one or
more sermons on temperance in their re-
spectivc churches during the winter, at
such time as may be convenient to them,
believing that much good can thus be ac-
complished in bringing about reform in
this community.
Resoiued, That it was with pleasure
that your committee listened to the i'm
presslve sermon preached by Rev. Mr..
bennett at the Methodist church, on Sab
bath the 2lst inst, on the subject of
temperance, in which he produced facts
sufficient to convince the most prejud;ced
minds that alcohol does exist in the pure
juice Of the grape and other innocent bey-
erages. @
Rcsolued, That the thanks Of this
Lodge be extended to Rev. Mr.. bennett
for his able discourse and friendly senti-
ments entertained and expressed towards
All temperance societies Of the land.
Resoteed, That copy Of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to each Minister by
the society, and that they also be handed
to the Editors respectively OF the Gate
City and Constitution, with request to
publish them.

Alexandria. Sen

Alexandria, Sept. 26.
An engine started from Alexandra
yesterday and proceeded as far as Bristow
shortly after arriving there train Of car
were seeu approaching from the other side
but which, on discovering their danger
started back and disappeared
Eight rebel soldiers were found at Bris.
tow, who had been stationed there &c
guard and assist in loading debris found
among the ruins of train destroyed at
that place. They were captured and
brought down as prisoners. Sixteen
freight cars were also found uninjured, at
Manassas, with about half car load of
ammunition, which had been piled on the
ground and covered with canvas by the
rebels. 1t seems that some other prise.
ners started the idea that it was an infer
nal machine, SO they refused to approach
il. Ii was loaded on the cars and all
brought dQwn.
No other troops we're discovered In the
vicinity. 1t was ascertained on good
authority that trains were running night
and day regularly, to Culpepper bringing
supplies to the enemy, which were con
veycd in wagons from that place by way
of Sperryville and Front Royal to Win
chester. The Rapidan bridge has been
rebuilt, and the bridge over the Rappa-
hannoc was to be finished to-day. All
the engines and cars not completely de-
stroyed. have been run off from stations
above Bristow and are now being used by
the rebels.
The line of piekets established by the
enemy lat week, reached from Winches
ter to Brentsville, a point some six miles
south Of Manassas. This was to prevent
residents south of that line from escaping
impressment, which is now being enforc-
ed in Virginia where they have sway /;
many, however, succeeded in GLIDING
these pickets and reached our lines, leav.
ing their families and effects behind.
