INDIyIDUAy. PROWESs.

At the battle of Brandy Station, when the enc
my's cavalry came upon Stnart's Horse ARTILLERY.
which was unsupported, Edwin SuIly, son of Sui
ly. the celebrated painter, who once lived in this
city, sprang to his piece and loaded and fred it
three times alone and unaided. One horseman
rode up to young Sully and ordered him to sur
render. Sully refused and ordered the Yankee
to surrender to him. The dragoon's pistol,
which was leyeled at the time, snapped, when
he drew his sword, aud dashing the spurs into
his horse, tried to cut Sully down; but our hero
was ready for him, and as the fellow made the
blow ne avoided it, and as the horse dashed
past, seizing his ramrod with both hands, and
swinging it around his head, he brought it down
with all his force on the back of the Yankees
head, killing him instantly and tumblng him
headlong from his horse, of which, with the ac-
coutrements, he took immediate possession.
Young Sully has been highly praised by his
immediate officers and by Gen. J /. h. b. Stuart,
who has mentioned him favorahly to Gen, Lee,
who speaks of him in the highest terms
Sully's adopted home is in st. Louis, Mo-,
where he had lived for some seven years. He
was compelled, for want of the organization Of
the Missouri State troops, to JOIN the army in
Virginia; brt he has long desired transfer to
the Western army, and it is to bepoped his wish
may now be gratfed as his bravery entities him
to some consideration. n.-EEnquirer.

PRICE OF NEWsPAPERs.

The Southern ssWatchman'' puts up the fol-
lowing knock down argument in reference to the
price of newspapers to which invite the at
tention of all readers:
It is said that owing to the peculiar eircum-
stances of the it would now be unfair to take
gold as a standard Of value. Inasmuch as corn
is the basis of our provision crop, let US try that
as standard. When we published our paper at
So, we could buy four bushels of corn for that
amount. Our paper was therefore worth four
bushels of corn. Four bushels of corn is now
worth $l2 in this market, end further up the
country $40. Our paper is therefore worth $12
by the corn standard. 1t was formerly worth two
bushels OF wheat Wheat was selling here a few
weeks ago at $12. Measured by the wheat stand
ard, our paper is worth $24. A years subscrir-
ton to our paper would formerly buy ten pounds
of sole leather, which at present prices, amounts
to $50. Our paper is therefore measured by this
standard, worth $50 per year. years SUBJ
scription would formerly buy four yards of jeans,
or sixthen yaads of cotton homespun. The fonr
yards of jeans is worth $40, and the country
homespun $24 at TINS time. According to this
standard, our paper is now worth from $40 to
$24. A years subscription would formerly buy
sixteen pounds of bacon, which will now cost Sl6
or upwards. Hence our paper is worth sic by
the bacon standard. We might thus go on ad IN
finitun, in every case, that to bring newspapers
to level with everything else should fix their
price at from $I2 to $50 per year.
