TEE RsAsoS-The men who making the money
don't stand price, They pay whatever price is asked
for any article they may want. and the man who has
plenty Of money wants great many things. This is
one reason-the principal one, imlgne-why prices
are so Inflated The why every 9th article of
consumption has been run up to ten, fifty, hun
drsd prices, is because crazy people always
found to buy them and others in consequence are CON
PEELED to do so.

We learn from persons just from
Col. Jackson's camp that he has got
ten back from another raid into the
North West. He sent battalion in
the direction of IIuttonsville to attract
the attention Of and draw out the
forces Of Gen. Averill, (Which was sue
cessfillly accomplished while he moved
Westward as far as the Salt Works
in Braxton County, distance Of sew
enty-fye miles within the enemy's
lines. At the Salt Works he found
that the enemy had erected double
set of Block houses, the outer one of
which he took by storming. Believ-
ing the inner works could not be taken
without too great loss of life he
withdrew short distance, the enemy
followed and a battle ensued in which
the Yankees were beaten and driven
within their Notifications with loss
of killed, wounded and prisoners.
jackson lost but eight killed and
twelve wounded.
1t will be remembered that just be-
fore this movement jackson sent a
detachment into Upsher and captured
and brought out 90 Yankees. Verify
Gen. Averill will have to be wide
awake if he prevents Jackson's raids
within the dominions of Foreman.
