STAGE ROBBERY.

The Pioneer Stage Robbed OF the
Treasure-Pursuito of the Robbers-
Two of them Killed.
The down stages from Virginia were
stopped last night about 10 o'clock by a
gang of six men, at point about mile
above the Thirteen-mile House, on Ber-
trans new grade. The robbers held the
drivers in check with shot guns, while
overhauling baggage for treasure. They
took eight bags of bullion and Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s tressure-box. The passen-
gers were not molested. After OBTAINING
the stage about ten minutes, they were al
lowed to pass on.
On arrival here, Sheriff Rogers and
party went in pursuit. Two men were
recognized by the drivers and arrested at
the Thirteen-mle House. The other four
broke for the Costumes, via Pleasant
Valley, small party pursuing. About
10 o'clock, courier arrived from the
Somerset House, stating there had been a
fight, in which two robbers were killed
and one wounded, and Deputy Sheriff
Staples wounded. There is considerable
excitement here; parties are leaving for
the scene every hour.
No further particulars received. 1t is
probable that all the robbers will be cap
tured.

THIRST AND HUNGER.-Every one is IA
miliar with the fact that the animal system
can bear up much longer under the influence
of hunger than under that of thirst. The
reason is that during abstinence from food
the organism lives upon its own substance.
The accumulation Of fat feeds the system,
which does not suffer materially until that
source of substance is exhausted. During
abstinence from liquid, the organism has no
self-sustaining supply. Except when per-
son is placed in very moist atmosphere,
three days Of deprivation of drink is usually
the limit of endurance; while persons have
been known to exist without food from fifteen
to twenty days. Raging thirst is the most
terrible infiction which can be visited upon
man-it is far more terrible than starvation.
The subsection to thirst is much more effec-
tual in tanning animals, than their depriva-
ton OF food.

on the Salem turnpike, four miles from the
city, ON the left of our lines, where consider
able diminishing occurred with our cavalry,
under Imboden. In the fight the enemy
gained some advantages, owing to the loss OF
our lines, they giving way before charge OF
the Yankees, which was, however, promptly
checked BY our infantry. They retired TO
their original line beyond the Church. On
Saturday morning at daylight, 18th, the
heavy booming of artillery on our lett anu
center told that fight had begun. Many oe-
lieyed that a general engagement was pro-
crossing, but it was soon ascertaineI tnat ~
was only an artillery duel, and up to o'clock
Pm. no infantry were brought into action.
shortly after this time the discharges IN
creased in rapidity and sharp musEetry
mingled with the hoarse roar OF artillery
About this time the enemy advanced IN two
lines of battle to capture the outer lntrench-
meuts on the left of the turnpike, but were
repulsed. Again they rallied to charge again,
hut were driven back with considerable loss.
Forty killed were left on the field. Some
twenty prisoners were taken. Including the
killed and captured, their loss was two or
three hundred on the entire line. 1t is as
certained that the enemy lost seyenty-ive
killed on Saturday. The battle-ground was
on both sides of Salem turnpike, about two
and half miles southwest of the city. About
noon the enemy on the extreme right and
center opened heavily with artillery, but after
a fierce duel Of two hours they were silenced
and driven from the field.
4 body of the enemy's cavalry made de.
monstration, on Saturday, the 18th, on our
extreme right on the Lexington Turnpike,
FIVE miles from the city, but were promptly
checked. Our friends may rest assured that
Lynchburc is as safe now as it would be were

DELINQUENT SALES TOMORROW
PRAYER.

There is nothing like hard times, suf-
fering and terror to bring people to
their marrow bones. The Almighty,
in the olden time, never used to have his
attention distracted, to any great extent,
by petitions from Petersburg. When the
din of battle was afar of, the people Of
that chivalric city seldom invoked the
Holy Trinity save in seasoning their oaths
against the damned Yankee" When,
however, the booming of Yankee artillery
came nearer, they began to alter their
tune, and to talk about church and
"closet," and the efficacy of prayer" as
will be seen by the following extract from
the Petersburg Express:
"If there ever was time for solemn, ear
nest PRAYER. it is now. We stand in the
midst of dangers, the dire extent Of which, IN
case Of adversely, can scarcely be conceived.
A hostile army, mighty in numbers, and
fierce and bitter in hatred against US, is al
most at the very doors OF our Capital and
our own homes, manGuyring and endeavor-
ING by fair means and BY foul 10 snatch away
the precious heritage of our birthright, and
reduce US 70 the most abJect slavery. ms
is no time, therefore, for people to gather on
the street corners and boast what we will dot
or proudly predict what we will do, or proud
" predict what will be done, and CEN
sure this officer and that brigade Of
troops. But instead OF vain glory and the
spirit of pride and boas ttuIness which we
have in so large degree, We should eSer-
else the spirit Of prayer, and daily IN the
the church and in the closet, and around the
family hearth, we should beseech God to
give US the victory, TO inspire our gallant de-
tenders with divine valor, and so guide our
leaders that their wisdom may not be At
fault. With nation in prayer for this bles-
sing, il would be speedily vouchsafed. Let
our daily PRAYER meetings, therefore, be al
WAYS largely attended, and in public and
private, let all unite their prayers for the
safety and welfare Of our beloved country.

old Grants shot and shell came rafting

good places to stop in "be rayson" of
their being such good targets, what a rush
there must have been for "closets," and
holes in the ground. That praying editor
must have fairly footed his horn."-
And when the guns still Numbered and
the shot and shell still screamed and roar.

down. the praying crowd must have came
to the unpleasant conclusion that 1.-The

SEYxoUR's FrzzLE.- When the New

hshed false and injurious document,
purportins to be a proclamation OF the
President of the United States, the effect
of which was TO create alarm and heart
sick depression at home, and shake conh-
dence abroad in the stability and power OF
our Government, the Provost Marshal,
acting under orders, closed both those
establishments, until their innocence Oh
reasonable intent was established.
Whereupon did Governor Seymour issue
his mighty tlkGss to the District Attorney,
commanding him to procure indictments
against that Provost Marshal and his AIDS,
who had thus promptly shut pan on the
freedom of the press" Horano Sey-
mour is great man, and the Governor OF
great State, but he is not the State nor
is he even Grand Jury in his own
proper person. He is not only not the
Grand Jury, but he is not the Grand
Jury's boss. They don't find bills of in
dictment at his beck and bidding, but on
the contrary they insert flea into his
auricular ori6ce, as will be seen by refer
ence to our telegraphic columns. So
