We learn from reliable authority, that the
public peace was violated, and wounded and
paroied soldier, named Adalr, was severely
pounded for refuaing to cheer for Bfough. He
said he was Republican, but he would not cheer
for Brough when he knew 1t was calculated to
make q disturbance. For rsfnsing to cheer he
was jerked off from horse by Government
employee who kicked him In bis wound and
otherwise injured him. '4'-'' '' '''' ,
The particulars, as We are uniformed, are theses
The Government agent, who appeared to be a
German, gathering, up horses, just as they were
entering New Birmingham, Guernsey county,
Ohio, on the 29th ult, proposed TO salute the
town with three cheers for Bfough. Mr.. Adair,
for reasons stated above, refused to cheer
whereupon the Government agent, encouraged
by one James Gillettaand Jacob Fordyce, of
doubtful antecedents, declared their purpose 10
cheer for Brough, and If any body cheered for
Nallandigham to clean the town out Adair
and Ellwood Fisher, another returned soldier,
said they would cheer for the Constitution aud
the Union. The Government officer eaid i'any
body that would not hurtah for Brougb should
not ride horse. Ho then jerked the wounded
soldier of the horse-kieked him severely In
his wound, and II is thought would have killed
him, had nos loyal woman, Mrs. Johnston,
took club and beat the monster of. Gillett
threatenod to shoot the woman. The Govern

man, Gen. Robert B. Vance, a few
days since. He returns to this place
by order Of Gen. Bragg, to assume
command Of the Department of Yves
tern North Carolina. Gen. V. is a
gallant soldier and accomplished gen
tfeman, and his appointment to this
position among Us, although not desir-
ed by himself, gives great satisfaction
to all true and loyal citizens. He
knows his duty, and has tie nerve to
discharge it. We have long needed
such a man at the head of affairs in this
section, and we confidently hope for
the happiest results from this appoint
ment. Gen. Vance has at his COM
mand a force sufficient for all lis pur-
poses.
At the request of many citizens Gen.
V. addressed the people at this place
on Saturday afternoon last. He spoke
hopefully of the struggle in which we
are engaged, and earn ,stly exhorted the
people to union, harmony and patriotic
devotion to the great cause in which we
are fighting. His speech was listened
to with profound attention, and fire.
quently applauded in the most enthusi.
astic manner. His whole soul is en-.
listed in the cause, and we hope his
example and influence will restore
peace, harmony and confidence in Yves

who has not been thus afflicted y by
the snoring of their neighbors, will be-

learning that a mar who sleeps with

He cannot snore. Only think of it!
the impossibility of snoring! What a
benefit to mankind. Breathe through
your nostrils and not through your
mouth. Open the latter to talk and
to eat, and for those purposes only
At all other times let your lips be clos

by night let tne breath of life enter
and depart through the nostrils-those

breathed at mans creation. Make a

they have never been il the war; had
done all in their power against the

to desert the army by pinching their

Pure Religion-A Chance to. Show It,

The Apostle James says, "Pure re-
ligion and undefled before God and
the Father is this, to visit the father
less and widows in their affection, and
to keep himself unspottcd from the
world"
Was there ever a better opportu-
nifty in this country, to exhibit "pure
religion" than al 1.-THE present time?
The land is filled with the " father
less and widows" and to visit such in
their Affections" is an evidence of
pure religion"
We don't know what amount of
squire. religion" is exhibited in other
sections, but in this particular locality,
it>seems to be scarce enough, if it con-
sists, as the Apostle says, in visiting
the fatherless and widows in their afbc-
tons. There is a wide field for Wis
iting the afflicted" and preachers, ell
ders, deacons and private christians,
by entering the field might not only
cheer and comfort the distressed, but
at the same tilae show to the world
that they are under the controlling in
| huencc of pure religion themselves
There are thousands on thousands OF
broken-hearted widows in our land
They would, ID doubt, be rejoiced to
receive an occasional visit, at least,
from praying, sympathislng christians.
It would do them good, and would
bring a reward to the visitor. II.
