StOneman'S Raid.

The following particulars of Stone
mans raid we clip from the special cor
respondence of the Missouri Democrat:
Stoneman's force was divided into
three columns, one of which-that NOV
ing in the direction of the Richmond and
Fredericksburg Railroad, he command
ed in person. The column that worked
their way from Hanover Junction down
to within five miles of Richmond, was
a subdivision under the command of Col
Davis. Gne of the three columns, COM
manded by Brig adler General Averill,
after crossing the. Rappahannock at
kelly's Ford, pushed into the Brandy
Station, where it met the enemys pickets
and drove them back in a short skirm-
ism. 1t then pushed on direct to Gull
pepper Court House where Gen. Fitz-
hugh and VIM. Henry Lee were found
with rebel force OF, perhaps, 800 cav
airy, which fed precipitately back across
Cedar Mountain.
At Culpepper Court House Gen. Aver
i'll captured lot of rebel Government
-four, and then pushed on after the re-
treating rebels, following them to the
Rapidan Station, where they burned the
railroad bridge, over which they retreat
ed after a sharp fight, in which they lost
Col. RoSser, late of the I. S. army, who
was in command of one of their brigades
Our loss there was inconsiderable, but
the rebels lost several killed besides Col
ROsser, and also 81 prisoners, whC IN
General Averill brought here with him.
The object of Averilrs expedition
seems to have been to destroy this Rapi-
dan bridge, which the enemy in their
panic did for him.
After proceeding as far as Orange he
returned with his force to the main
army, joining it at Charlottesville on
Sunday last.
Another column OF Stoneman's force,
under command of Gen Buford, which
left the Rappahannock at the same time,
pushed on directly towards Gordonsviile,
and positive information has been re-
celved announcing its success in cutting
the Central Railroad between Gordons-
vile and Richmond, and Gordonsville
and Charlottesville, and this column sue
ceeded in destroying the railroad be-
tween Fredericksburg and Richmond,
completely stopping railroad communi-
cation in any direction out from Lees
main army, and breaking up for the
time being the enemy's facilities for for
warding supplies or renforcements to it
from any direction.
According to the Richmond papers Of
yesterday, Longstreet in person joined
Lee some days ago, but was accompa-
MED by none of the troops with which
he had been operating before Suffolk.

BG@We have no heart to converse at
any length on the news from the Kappa
hammock which we publish this morning.
While we were quite hopeful of the sue
cess of a movement that was so brilliant
ly inaugurated, we hesitated to "go off,
in double-leaded panegyric on the new
commander of the Potomac. army as
did many of our contemporaries. and to-
day We do not feel willing to indulge in
fry reflections upon his failure. His
anst movements were dashing and bril-
liant, but if the Tribune correspondent
is to be credited, he failed at the stick
ing point -
We are gratifed to learn of General
Stoneman's success. We confess we
had misgivings as to his earnestness in
putting down the rebellion. No one
feels more satisfaction at his success
than ourseh. 1t is pleasant to have
an unfavorable opinion of good officer so
happily remov.d by services that have
resulted in great injury to the rebels. By
his success he has contributed largely
towards gaining reputation for the cav
airy, which, heretofore has not been re-
garded as very efficient arm of the
service.
Stoneman's success, however, places
General Hooker in more .unfavorable
light The rebels could not have been
SO heavily reinforced as alleged, and it
is not improbable that we will have to
acknowledge the hnmiliating fact that
General Lee, with an inferior force and
taken by surprise, by dint of good gener-
alship and splendid fighting on the part
of his army, drove back the large army
that assaulted him.

PENs.-It is annoying to be compelled
to write with inferior pens, yet, from the
fact that it is very difficult to get really
good article of the kind, the annoyance
has to be put up with. We are now
using very fine pen called the Corfu
gated Metallic Pen, which is certainly
the easiest writing pen we ever used. 1t
does not spatter or catch on the thinnest
paper; and not being so liable to rust as
the ordinary kind, it will be great de-
sideratum to our commercial friends and
to the public in general, and to such we
cordially recommend it.

PLUcKY LADIEs-Last week the ladie
of the Methodist congregation at Bluff
ton, Indiana, went out to solicit aid for
their minister. A stingy old cuss offered
to give them barrel Of -four, provided
they would wheel it to the minister's
house from his mill, distance of four
miles, not supposing for a moment they
would accept his proposition. The ladies
were game, however, and were bound to
make all they could out of " old stingy,"
as he is called, inasmuch as this was the
first offer of charity he had ever been
known to make. They accordingly took
wheelbarrow, went to the mill, got the
barrel of -four, and wheeled it on the
barrow the four miles to their minister,
Brother Jackson. The citizens of Bluff.
ton treated the ladies to fine supper,
and the loss of the barrel of -four is
likely to crack the gizzard of the old
rapscallion who was thus compelled to
leone down with the dust of the
cereal

CORRUGATED Passive write this
item with one of Barnard's anti-corosive
corrrgatedpens, one of the pleasantest
pens we ever placed on paper, being, in
our estimation, equal to the best gold
pen.
new many a temper has been rnfled
BY bad pens, greasy paper and defective
ink! Any one of these is bad enough;
and the conjunction ofthe three is a ca
lamity. The steel pen was a great i'm
provement, on the ruder instrument be-
fore in use; but most steel pens have one
serious defect, The ink, by its corrosive
powers, mains and renders them use
less. You take up pen and find it
writes we'll enough, and when you have
done throw it down with the notion that
it is not in the least injtrel. Perhaps it
is not; but wait till next morning or for
day or two, and if it has not been care
fully wiped, it is useless Mr.. Barnard
has coated the steel pen with metal that
resists the corrosive action of the ink;
and by this means preserved it from the
rust that corrupts pens not so protected
This is the merit claimed for these pens;
and certainly their executi1 IN is most sat-
isfactory.

AT IT AGAIN.-The editor of the Vim
cennes Sun is terribly in earnest in vim
dication of Lewis Prosser, the murderer
of Sergeant Daniels, and belches forth
from his corrupt heart the venom of a
genuine Copperhead against US for
daring to intimate that shooting down
Union soldiers and Union men is not a
noble and praiseworthy act.
The people Of Indiana and the whole
North are beginning TO consider these
acts of the Copperhead leaders, and to
look upon them in their true light.
IT. D---~---~-----:>.-I - f4~I mus
der is well known, and for this act the
selfstyled Democrats of Brown CountY
have honored him with the nomination
for County Clerk, thus proving beyond
all question that they regard the killing
of Union soldiers as work of merit.
The State Sentinel, as usual, on such
occasions, got up some certificates to
show that. Prosser was lamb and had
been only hunting, but the people know
just how much credit to attach to the GER
tihcates perpetrated by the Sentinel,
since its famous certificate from the 18th
Indiana.
The baser the falsehood, in vindica-
ton of their pet soldier killer" the
more suitable to the taste of the editor
of the San, and he rushes on this pre-
cious morsal of the Sentinel with the
greed of a regular harpy.
The disciples of Vallandigham and
Voorhees,, including Greene, Madigan,
Bayless Hanna, have been arraigned be-
fore the bar of public opinion, and the
verdict was given last Tuesday, in Terre
Haute, Indianapolis, Michigan City,
New Albany, Shelbyville and even in Vim
cennes
Blackguardism heaped on US, Mr..
Greene, may ease the venom of .your
spleen, but it will not wipe out the damn
Ing fact that you and your miserable fac
ton, endorse murder and outrage, and
give as reward of merit nomination
for office, to the man that shot down

OomntroIIer of tie eurreacy.

AS announced in the dispatches pub
lishea yesterday, Judge MeCuRoch, Pres
ideot Of the Bank of the State, has been
appointed Comptroller of the Currency
under the National Barking law.
This appointment issone eminently fit
to be made, and is Sut a just recogni-
ton of Judge McCuiIoch's acknowledged
financial ability and high personal char
acter. No man, perhaps, in the whole
country could have been chosen, so Ca
pable of taking charge Of the new Bank
ing system, and giving it successful
direction. If the system should not sue
coed in his hands, it will be the fault of
the system of itself, and not for want of
judgement, skill or earnest attention at
the head.
The selection of Judge McCulloch for
this position, while creditable to him, is
no less creditable to the wiscom of Mr.
Chase in making it 1t is also a compli-
ment to the State of Indiana, and to the
bank over which Judge McCulloch has
presided, and which owing in no small
degree to his laborS and influence is per-
haps, take all in all, the strongest and
most influential bank in the country.
GROWING ASHAMED Since the mani
fold outrages, resistance to loyal authori-
ty, murder of soldiers, and burning of
houses, practiced during the last few
months by the Conservative Democra-
cy," that delectable faction have grown
ashamed of their boast of being law
abiding" and in their pow-wow at Vim
cennes the other day, over which that
noted apostle of peace, Geo. E. Greene,
presided, they very properly dropped that
compound adjective, and modestly call
themselves the truly loyal Union-loving
Constitution abiding party"
This is candid acknowledgment
that they are no longer law abiding
party" They are only a Constitution
abiding marty"

their word and elected law-abiding men

account of the running of the Vicksburg
blockade by the Forest Queen and S liver

Running the blockade at Vicksburg
with gunboats and transports has now
become nightly amusement, and it has,
so far, been remarkably successful

only one received ball which entered
her iron casing, and not one was disa-
bled. The transports Silver Wave, and
Forrest Queen, we're not disabled, but
are now doing excellent service carrying
troops and stores from the terminus of
the land route through the bayou, and
down the river to Judge Perkins planta-
ton, where they rendezvous temporarily.

times. One ball carried away section
