MT. SAVAGE.

EXPLANAToRY--APo In our Is
sue of the 18th inst, VIC gave all account
of what seemed at the time to be Il big
thing" Our information. was obtained
from two persons engaged in the affair Of
the fight near Wardensville, and we gaYei
it credence at the time and gave it to our
readers for truth. Subsequent informa-
ton led US to doubt much of the coloring
which had been plastered on the picture
and in our last issue we stated that it was
not 'biy thing" and intilnated that
Gcnl Rosser had not the honor of wear
ing the hat. We have since the last is
sue of our paper received Il colnmunica-
ton datcl "Cumberlanl, Nd, May H.
but post marked 2lst, on this subject in
which the ''paintiag' is torn off with a
rery rough hand; but as the writer has
failed to place any signature to his COM
munication and not furnished his name,
we must be excused from giving it Il place
in our columns. We can give place in
our columns to no communications espe-
cially when ttey affect individual charac
ter, however much we MAY believe the
truth of the matters therein stated with
out at least knoping the name Of the wri-
ter. As our crcduiity has once been over
taxed in this brilliant affair." it would
be our fault if we should permit oursel-
YES 10 get into 4 trap second time, and
might result in the loss of our hat; of
course not in .fgM but a foot-racs.
We also noticed in our paper of the
18th, Guerilla raid on the raging
cauawl" resulting in the capture of some
horses; and lastly Of two Guerillas by
squad under the led Of Lieut. Wright
Kelley. We intended and thought we
were paying him compliment for his
skill and daring because we believed lie
deserved one. 1t seems he, has constru-
ed it differently and feels indignant; that
is our misfortune. The next time we
undertake to pay compliment to him
we will try to make our meaning il re-
gard to that, plain enough. 1t is true
we added to the paragraph bit of adrice
not couched in plain direc. English which
may be the cause of the misunderstand-
ing; we did not wish to say it would have
pleased US better If he had eleroted them
on the first grape vine" or ordered them
shot in their tracks. II may be presump-
ton in us to advise in military matters
but yet we have our opinions and don't
always keep them to ourselves. We
hope the young Lieut.. will not allow what
he may have understood us to mean to
set him back; his misunderstanding US
has not set back our good opiuion of him
and We hope he will still go ahead"

to the circulation, or becomes reduced, tic
whole system suffers. The had blood will ir-
ritatr tie heart, will clog up the Lungs, will
s;upefy the brain, will obstruct die lrcr, ana

the system, and every ne will suffer IN what

The great value Of IRON As \ MEDICINE
is well known and acknowledged hy all med
ical mca The difficulty has been to obtain
such preparation Of it as viii enter the circu-
laton and assirlilate at once with the blood.

HOW I WAS NOT TAKEN PRISONER

i was serving in the ii New York

was upon the day to which my story relates
out with toraging party of my own men
am West Nirgiuian 10y birth, and
was consequently pretty much at home on
the ground over Rhich We were travelling
Our column was advancing. and / rarely
allowed it to 90 out of sight. We did
not do our toraging on the rebel plan OF
selzing everything on which we could lay
cur hands, whether it belonged to friend
or foe, and appropriating it by force of
arms but went out with sizeable no Is of
