DIED IN A DRUNKEN DEBAUCH-What
a terrible end! Yet snch, is the record OF
the. death of John Bausnan, for many
years the accomplished editor Of the Wash

of Western PENNSYLVANIA journals, Mr..
Bausman accumulated a handsome proper

the comforts Of life. His social qualities
were captivating, aud proved bis ruin,-
He yielded step by step to dissipation, and
at length sank to the basement ofcomtnon

streets of Pittsburgh and carried to the
Hospital. We met him in Wheeling at

Evacuation of RoInney.

The sudden flight of our forces from
Romney, Virginia-so sudden that eonsid-
erable camp property bad to be destroyed
for lack of transportation-was one of the
most extraordinary skadaddles of the war.
Gen. Lander in command gave The order
at dress parade. Friday evening, aud at
daylight the next morning the whole col
umn, II, 900 had reached the Potomac,
fifteen miles distant, The immediate
cause of the retreat was exaggerated reports
of danger of an attack from Gen. Jaekson's
army of rebels, some accounts swelling
the advancing hosts to three columns of
$4,000 each. -. -:ssE
1t does not appear that there was any
real danger of an attack, for up to We'd
nesday following the flight the Secesh to
the number of only $500 lad occupied
Romney. So state passengers arrived at
Wheeling from Patterson's Creek. The
apology for destroying tents and provis-
ions is, that in the evacuation of Romney
four hundred sick had to be removed,
which used up the means of trnsportatlon.
L uO SlCh uft'C lHOSsiJ UCeu SSHk w w HOSl-
ing. Romney is noted Secession town,
but it was spared conhagration BY order
of Gen. Lander. The rebels will find it

It would seem from the Richmond En-:
dminer of the 9th, that fhe movement of
General Jackson toward Romney and Vi
cinity was projected two months ago, and
the column organized. lis movement
was delayed under the delusion that our
forces on the Potomac were to make a
general advance this winter. Hence the
troops under Jackson were placed at Win
chester, where they could be conveniently
used, either in an engagetnent with Nc
Clellan or on the original aggressive IN,
tention. Time having exploded the no
ton Of a decisive battle at Manassas, Gen.
Jackson commenced operations which
frightened Gen. lander out of our boast
ed stronghold at Romney in double
quick..'. s'a 10 e0..5so ''aa sli % a'0N

How Done I'm Missouri.

A Leavenworth letter states that JED.
nison's Command is more feared BY the
traitors Of Missouri than was Marion's by
the tories of the Carolinas, and gives the
following good Illustrations Of the reason
for IL;
On The evening of the 27th q Decsm-
Der a messenger arrived at Col. Jennison's
head. .quarters, near West Point Mo-, and
body of Secesh at Dayton, lhir-
ty-fve miles distant. He stated that the
enemy numbered two hundred, were fine
ly mounted, and on their way to join
Prices army. Notwithstanding the late
inass of the hour III o'clock at night at
(which the intelligsnes was ,receiysd, Lisut.-
Colonel Anthony, with Capt jenkins, Gre
CORY, Pardee, Mertick, and Lieutenant
Hoyt=of1 John Brown notoricty, soon had
two hundred picked men in their saddles,
aud after the true Marion style, set out on
doube-quick for The reported camping
place of the enemy..s The.night was pier
cling cold, and the blasts of winter swept
across the prairie like hurricane yet in
spite of the elements, Col. Anthony and
his men arrived at Dayton at daylight
next morning, their. horses, covered with
foam and frost, and at once surrounded
the town: but the foe had suspected dam
ger and fled in bands Of ten and twenty to
the neighboring woods, which in fact was
no sooner learned by our leaders than they
detached several parties to scour the sur
rounding country, che result of which was,
that thirty Of the enemy were killed, and
a large number of mules aud horses, which
they had robbed from Union men, were ia
ken without the loss of a man on our side.
which was fortunate, as odds were often
times in favor of The rebels. AT one time
two of Capt jenkins men pursued five
Secesh and kept up a running fire upon
them until they had bagged four out of
the five. Capt. Gregorys horse was shot
under him, and he was somewhat injured
by the fall, but no. seriously. The rebels
were followed to Wadesburg where our
force gave up the chase Col. Anthony
returned to West Point by way of Harri-
sonville, but found no enemy at that place
as had been reported. Lieut.. Hoyt was
despatched with squad of men to the
neig ghborhood designated as the home Of
those who were identified as the leaders
in the rebel band, aud found considerable
stores collected by the Secesh, which he
was under the necessity of destroying for
want of means to transport it away. Day
ton was reported by the .Unionists as the
headquarters of the enemy, and was left
by our forces in ''liyely state Of confagra-
tion." In addition TO the numerous horses
and mules. considerable quantity Of arms
and munitions were taken by our men and
safely brought inio camp. -. - -, - ..sr

Esq, and young man by the name of sooTT,
both members Of Capt. DnAKE's Company,
died recently, in Western Virginia, and their
bodies were brought home and buried on

Of young Scott. They were both excellent
young men, whose death will be mourned by i
large circle of relatives and friends.

same neighborhood, all acquaintance and
friends, started togeiher early last fall, to join

Some months ago the British iron steam
ship Karnak was wrecked on coral reef
near the Bahamas, and became total loss.
An eastern paper says that after lying at
the bottom of the sea for some weeks, in
habited by fish and turtles, two enterpris-
ing young men from Bath, Maine, Messrs.
Kimball and Arnold, bought tho wreck for
1925, thinking they could "fsh up" that
amount Of old iron from her. John Bull
pocketed the 1925, and thought Jonathan
greener than the sea-weed for making such
a purchase. The purchasers explored her
with submarine armor plugged up her
holes, pumped her out raised her to the
surface, took her into Nassau, New Provi-
dence, the nearest port, had her rrigged with
sails as bark, at an expense Of $1,000
more, and soon she will be in New York,
when, after putting in a new boiler, (the
rest of her machinery being good) she will
be worth SIS, 900 to 100000 at least.
