The 16th Il esiment.

The Sixteenth Regiment is winning
golden opinions in Kentucky. The Ler-
ington Observer thuf compli ments the
Regiment:
"This excellent regiment, under COM
mand of Col. de Courcy, now in camp on
tine Trot,ipg track near this city by the
general fine department of the men and
the admirable disipliue which prevails in
their camp, has won golden opinions from
our citizens. On Sunday morning last
the regiment was marched into the city
and halted on Main street, when the Colo
mel notified the men that they could select
churches they preferred to attend worship.
They they flied off in squads in the d.
rection of the churches of their choice, and
when the service was over, returned in or
der to their position in the line. When
the regiment was again fully formed to
return to camp, the manoeyerlng on then
departure was most admirable and elected
the highest praise.

Gen. Stevens was in command of the ex-
pedition 10 the mainland. Gen. Sherman,
and not Commodore Dupont had sent him
reinforcements.
According to express letters the enemy s
works were completely destroyed, and our
troops returned to Port Royal Island. Two
regiments were going back to Hilton Head
on the Sd. After our troops had entirely
destroyed the western shore, the rebels
fell back five miles to Garden Corner,
showing that the effect of the chastisement
was salutary and permanent.
"Speciais" to the New York press con-
tain the following items:
The Committee on Ways and Means
have agreed to impose tax upon railroad
passengers of one-fourth of a cent per
mile.
The Joint Committee on the Conduct of

three miles distant. The Bucktails count
ed lie graves on tba Drainsville battle
ground.
On Tuesday morning the Freedom, Sat
elite, and Island Belle got under way and
stood over to the Virginia shore opposite
Maryland Point, and began to shell the
rebel encampment near Boyd's Hole. The
shells few thick and fast, and many of
them were seen to burst over the land in
the direction of the eneampment. No re-
sponse was made by the rebels, and at
half past one o'clock the firing ceased
The three uessels then stood up for Acquia
Greek, and commenced to lombard the
batteries there at 20 minutes to o'clock,
continuing an incessant fire until 81 O'Clock
when the firing ceased without elicit:ng
any reply.

Millionaire Stewart.

The war is fast piling full the big cof-
fers of certain big operators. A New
York letter of the 4th says:
Il is safe TO affirm that no single mer
chant banker or other person of whatever
calling in the world, is coming money at

clothing and various etceteras not found
usually upon the retail counters down stairs.
II seems that Stewart was shtewd enough
to foresee the immense and continuous de-
.mand likely TO arise for clothing materials,
and army supplies of such sort, and early
proceeded to engage from many of the
manufacturers their entire productions for
several months ahead. When our vener-
able Uncle Samuel came into the market,
he found himself foreslalled by the Broad
way merchant, and was compelled to pay
tribute at the marble palace or 60 with
out the goods. In fact, Mr.. Stewart had

Hnmphrey Marshait,s right.

The telegraph report on Saturday that
Col. Garfield and his brigade had put TO
flight. Humphrey Marshal and his rebel
forces in Southeastern Kentucky, without
firing gun, we felt to be almost too good
to be true. The report was received at
the Cincinnati Gazette Office from one OF
the proprietors of the Louisville Democrat,
right from the seat of operations in the
Sandy Valley. The statement appears to
be fully credited ia Cincinnati, and the
commercials account as followes;
We were informed yesterday By gen
tleman just from Catlettsburg, Kentucky,
that two members OF the 43d regiment
from Paintsville, arrived at that place on
Tuesday. They reported that Colonel
Gar6elds brigade, of about $500 men,
moved TO Georges Creek weeks ago, and
on Monday last they moved onwards to
Paintsyille, which brought them within
three miles of the rebel camp, under the
command of Humphrey Marshall and Col.
John S. Williams: hence they sent out
a scouting party which came upon the re-
bel camp and found that the troops had
fed but short time before, with great
precipitation, leaving all they could not
readily carry away.
When the federal accommodating party
arrived on the spot they fond the enc
nys wagons, tents, camp equipage, hay
and provisions, gathered together and on
fire. Tney had seen nothing Of the rebels
when the men who made the above state
uent left the place. -4
It was rumored at Catlettsburg that
Humphrey Marshal addressed his troops
before he broke up the camp, that they
were evidently surrounded, and must eth
Or disperse and escape, fight their way
through, or be taken prisoners.
1t apears that portion of Marshall's
force had been fired upon by the Union
troops a short lime before, from position
they had not looked for. A fact that
seems to account for his making the re-
ported speech.
Col. Garfeld's force consists of the 42d
Ohio, the l4th Kentucky, Col. Lindsay's
regiment from Greenupsburg, Kentucky,
and Major, McLaughlin's cavalry, two hun
dyed horse.
? The Gazette thus speak of
COLONEL aARF1ELE's MAIDEN HoNERs.
Humpbry MarshalI's force, in Southeas-
eTn Kentuckey-wbose numbers have been

paration on our side, until be had time
orconsolidate his army and fortify-has
disbanded and fed before the prompt and
resolute advance of Col. Garfelds COM
nand., Col Garfeld's fist demonstra-
lion in the field has beeu a brilliant sue
cess, which is none the less victory that
his prompt, march dispersed the enemy
without waiting to fire gun. The moral
effect of the flight of this tbreatning rebel
army, and of the General in whom they
had SO much cofdence, will be as important
as hat of any of any success in this war.

READER if you take the Forest Pills in the

be necessary. Nevertheless, it should be under
stood that if your disorder has assumed chronic
form, much so that it does not yield readily to
the efficacy of the Pills, depend upon it that the
recuperative principle is very low, and the Forest
Wine, in conjunction with the Pills. must be taken
to nvigorate and strengthen the torpid functions.
Or, if you have ULCERS and OLD SORES, the
Plaster must be used on the part affected, while
the Pills exert their inward efficacy. Or if your
complaint be RHEUMATISM, the pain Cure y
must be applied externally to scatter the pain
while the Pills are taken to Danish the disorder
from the system. (See Circular.)
My object in giving out gratuitously this i'm
