For the "Spirit."
DASH OF THE SNAKE HUNTER S
On MCNElL'S CAVALRY.

Near Romnsy, on ths 9th ofJuly 1864,
the bold men commanded new by Capt.
Cummings, formerly by Capt. Basss,)
made daring dash on McNeil's Cavalry
of about one hundred and seventy men,
Almost every party that has been sent
after them has been detsatedor captured,
he being. very brave and daring man.
McNsirs camp was, about i've miles
south of Romney, at the foot of noun
tain in a meadow.
Capt. Cummings in obedience to orders
having but 20 men, went in pursuit of the
rebel Cavalry who we're plundering &con
scripting men. Having learned the enc
my Is whereabouts he sent one Sergeant
and three men to recounoiter; they re-
turned in short time with the desired
information. The Captain told the men
to keep quiet and steal along the noun
tain side as softly as possible. They hay-
ing reached the most favorable place for
an attack laid on their arms until day
light. Capt. Cummings went along the
line of his men whispering to them, TO not
take any prisoners as that was played out
with him.
He now commenced to move forward
cautiously, and got within about two hun
dred yards of their camp, whom they were
discovered by McNeil's pickets, and fred
on; the pickets retreating into Camp at
headlong speed. exolaiming as they went
'sths Yankees are coming" The bravs
Snake Hunters gave one yell like sc
many devils, and rushed down on the
rebel Camp, shooting, cutting and slash
ing, which took Mcneil entirely by sur
prise, he hardly escaping himself:
The Snake Hunters took all theil
camp equippage, stores, and great many
horses, killing and mortally wounding
about thirty OF the rebels. Our loss wal
only FIVE killed and eleven wounded, en-
tirely routing and scouting the rebels II
every direction. The wounded are doing
we'll in the hospital at New Greek.
Having learned the larger portion Q
Capt. Cummings men were from Monroe
Belmont and Jefferson counties, Ohio,
thought their friends would like to hea
from them.

Seventy-five Thousand Tons
of Human BleOd.

A writer in the Jefferson County Union
has made some calculations relative to the
number of men killed thus far in the war,
and gives the following interesting
items:
There has been enough already slain to
encircle our State if their dead bodies were
laid in one continuous line.
Ifthsy were placed in cofins and cor
isd they would count thirty mine thousand
cords.
If laid in wall twenty Ave feet thick
and thirty feet hight, it would be over one
and one-feurth miles long.
If FIVE feet thick and ten feet high the
pile would reach across this State.
If piled upon ten acre lot, they would
be nearly two hundred feet high.
And if laid upon the ground, they
would cover every foot of soil in Jefferson
county. ols fSas
Seventy Eve thousand tons of human
blood have been spilled on Dixie soil
enough to turn every spindle in Lowell
and if the tears were added to the hosa il
would turn the machinery Of the cont
nent; and the unavailing sighs would fill
eyei ocean sail.
The one-half has not yet been told
The millions Of wounded and manned for
life must be taken into account in sum
ming up the grand total of evils incident
to this bloody and fanatical war. ~ > !,
And the end is not yet
We shudder at the news Of the death of
twenty persons killed by the accidental
b.eaking of a rail, or the sinking of q
steamboat, and if two hundred are lost
by any means, We are fairly horror-strick..
en-, and are ready to wrsak vengeance on
any one who has bean negligent or care
less in the matter. agg ass
But when tens Of thousands are sui
down in day by the procurement of de
signing demagogues, We shout .hallslu,
| jah,' and can hardly contain ourselves foi
| Joy, while we thank heaven for the hu-
man slaughter. %
| We are so woll pleased with the awfu
sacrifice that we set ourselves to work a
