REvERIE OF A MooN-STRUCK MAIDEN
AS 1 stood looking out from my window
upon the distant hill tops, the beautiful val
leys, and pleasant hills meads, as pale faced
Luna, with her silvery light, laved the earth
in resplendent halo of glory, involun-
tarily whispered to myself, where can hu-
man being be found who does not admire,
with bewildered eye, such an evening
sceneas this! admire the beautiful visage
which all creation puts on when she calms
my troubled spirit, and comforts my agitat-
ed breast with the delicious liquid strains
of her sweetly tuned evening reveries.
When the dark, silver -bespangled starlight
ed shawl of night has been spread over the
cart. Oh! what time it is for deep medi-
tation and inward examination. Who Is
there but what loves to wander in some
dark, gnat-like retreat or shrubby-bed on
such an evening as this, and feast the eyes
with the delicate pencilings of Luna, when
every stump, and ditch, and stone shows
the kisses of the big, round moon, and the
flying leaves go here and there, and
nobody knows where, aud at last they fall
'ker-spat" into our face, while the dark
shadows dance and scamper about in the
lunalight and the big "ba n-fowl" keeps
Growing, and their horrible notes go to rest
with the butterflies rocked in the rosebuds,
with dew drops for their evening lamps
1t is at such time the wind feels like GO
ing journey, and so it scars away among
the stars to tell of things unheard of. Lu-
ma light, / love your teachings, and paint
ings, and SO forth. 1t wakes tender spot
in my heart! Luna light what strange
fancies crawled through my brain while
watching you and all your grandchildren
up in thy blue and boundless sphere, until
I commenced using Pinkerton's celebrated
Calisaya and Wahoo Btters the first bottle
of which cured me Of my wild and extrav-
agant fancies, gave me sound mind and
healthy constitution, saved me from lunacy
and the madhouse. Try these. Bitters.-
They restore the mind to its usual activity
when impaired by any cause, and act upon
the general system with the best results.

New YORK, Oct. 25.-The Tribune's cor
respondent with the Army of the James.
22d, says.At dawn this morning one of
the land batteries, in charge of Capt. Ash
by, Co. L, Sd n. Y. Artillery, opened on the
rebel fleet in James river about mile
above CoX's landing, with twenty and thir-
ty-pound shetland cuickly sent their wood
en- gunboats to the protecting wings of Fort
Darling and their other shore batteries
The three iron-cad rams, however, stood
fire and returned the compliment for an
hour or more, until one OF their smoke
stacks was nearly shot away and one of our
shells exploded in the after part of the
Richmond, killing gunner and wonnding
three seamen, when, having had a vigorous
pounding from our shells, they one by one
filed away out Of range, to q place of secu-
rity. leaving an earthwork which the reb-
els have lately constructed on the west side
of the James, to continue the duel with
Captain Ashby's battery and another of
our forts lower down the river. This rebel
work sent 100-pounders in return for Capt.
Ashby's twenty and thirty-pound shells,
but received those uf the same calibre from
our lower battery, and finally discontinued
the duel.
The result of the mornings work was to
drive the whole rebel fleet upwards OF
mile from the point in the river where they
had recently been stationed. One wooden
gunboat was seriously, and one iron-clad
ram considerably injured. Our casualties
are summed up in the loss of leg by Mi
chael Lynch, orderly to Capt. Ashby, from
a fragment of u shell which at the same
time killed the horse on which he was
mounted.
Until this evening there has been no
firing at Dutch Gap since yesterday noon.

New YORK, Oct. 25.-The week opens
moderately active in the dry goods market
but the advance of the past two weeks is
barely sustained on many descriptions Of
goods. At sale of woolens and clothing
goods the bidding was tame M and 1l prices very
of the past week; very few duplicates were
made. At Especial sale of bonnets, ribbons

CHARITABLE FESTIVAL. = \ number of
charitable ladies of this city have for a long
time been laboring to promote the interest
and happiness of the many poor children
of this city by conducting an industrial
school, in which the children are taught
the rudiments of education and industry
with the needle; religious instruction being
also impaired on the Sabbath. The City
Hall has been the scene of these worthy
efforts, and it is stated that as high num-
ber as twenty-one scholars, from among
the poorest classes, regularly attend the
school. The ladies now propose to get up
a festival for the benefit of the school, and
solicit the assistance of all charitable citi
zens. The festival is to take place on
Thursday and Friday evenings of next
week, and in the meantime committee of
ladies from the several churches Of the city
have been appointed and will wait upon
citizens inclined to subscribe towards SO
worthy an object, and it is to be hoped
they will be libera'ly supported by all.

Detail. of sherldan,s victory.

New YORK, Oct. 25.-The Commercials
Washington special says the details ofGen.
Sheridan's brilliant victory in the Valley
on the 10Th are now coming in. The pur-
suit has ended for the present, and there is
now time afforded to count the spoils of the
gallant achievement. Prisoners are being
sent to places of safe custody in the rear,
and the trophies of war adorn the camps of
the gallant victors. Gen. Custer has al
ready brought to Washington the flags ia
ken from the enemy.
A IIarper's Ferry letter, dated Oct. 9th,
contains information from official sources,
and therefore entirely reliable, that 5000
prisoners have already been captured. One
hundred and fifty arrived at Harper's Fer
ry on Monday, and 1000 more were left at
Winchester.
Our cavalry is still engaged in picking
up rebel stragglers and deserters. who are
glad to escape from the rebel army after it
has sustained so crushing defeat. These
prisoners candidly admit that Sheridan is
the best General against whom they have
ever fought, and that his dashing tactics
are more than match for even Jubal
Early.
1t is ascertained from rebel prisoners a"d
deserters, and other indiSputable sources,
that the loss of the enemy will reach 10000
in killed, wounded and prisoners. Among
the guns taken were twenty new brass
pieces, which were recently turned out
from Richmond, and with which Early had
been supplied only few days before the
battle. 12,000 small arms were picked up
on the field and along the track of the fly
ing enemy, exhibiting state of dcmorali-
zation not often witnessed among veteran
troops such as these with which Early was
provided. The rebels had five infantry di-
visions and five cavalry brigades in the en-
gagement, and a large portion of them en-
braced the flower of Lees army.
Our wounded are being rapidly removed
to Martinsburg from Winchester, and Gen.
Sheridan is putting his army in order for
another advance, when Gen. Grant shall
give the signal. He is already being sup
piled with material for another campaign,
and will not long remain passive.

Richmond Papers on Early's De-
feat-A COnscription OrdeI-The
Rebels making Arrangements 10
IIetalke Atlanta.

New YORK, Oct. 25.-Richmond papers
of the 22d contain the following: Early's
defeat by Sheridan is acknowledged by the
rebel press as well as by Early himself,
who admits he lost thirty pieces of artille-
ry, but claims the Union pursuit of him did
not amount to much, as only cavalry were
engaged in it, our infantry, who he says
suffered most severely, being too badly de-
moraliZed to follow. ......s.
The Richmond Enquirer says: All of the
camp equipage captured in the morning
was retaken by the enemy, and that at
Strasburg, the captured artillery becoming
mixed up i'm the street with some of their
own, through the Generalization of the
drivers, was abandoned by night.
The same paper says: Our army was in
Newmarket, worn out with fatigue and
perplexed and mortified with the result of
the days operations. Only 1000 in killed
and wounded, and small number of men
captured, is the estimate of rebel casualties
by this voracious sheet.
An order issued by the Richmond War
Office conscripts one-fifth OF the employees
in the Ordnance and Nitre Bureaus, thus
securing 1900 to the military force. The
order is considered a breach of faith, and
gives great dissatisfaction; but it shows the
straits the rebels are reduced to.
Yankee infantry from Suffolk towards Wei
don, North Carolina, is mentioned by the
Goldsboro Journal.
longstreet, in an order dated Oct. 10th,

lieving Anderson. -.s.-.,,. s.
A number of boys, called the Junior Re-
serves of North Carolina, and consisting of
one regiment and battalion, have offered
their services to the rebel Government and
have been received and placed in the
trenches at Richmond.
The Augusta Chronicle says: Gen. Slo-
cum, who holds Atlanta, has contracted his
lines materially, so much so as to leave part
of the city out in the cold. Iverson, the
rebel Colonel in the vicinity, made dash
through this part without suffering any
damage.
The Macon Intelligencer says the rebels
are making arrangements to enter Atlanta
and securely hold it.

FREAKS OF MAD HoRsE.-At late
hour night before last officer Ryan noticed
a horse with broken halter tearing around
his beat near the corner of Broad and High
streets, whose proceedings were in the ma
ture of disorderly conduct, and Ryan in
tended to make an arrest. Upon approach
ing to catch the halter strap, the horse
showed, signs of resistance, and leaped up
on the officer, knocking him down in the
street and falling upon him. Officer Hibbs
passing by saw the predicament of his as
sociate, and rushing to his aid succeeded in
rescuing him from the perilous position
Ryan was pretty severely bruised and stun
ned, but not injured. The infuriated horse
again showed fight, and was only driven off
by Ryan firing his revolver, at the report
of which the animal fled. He next appear
ed among the market teams on Fourth
street, where he created so much
noise and confusion that the market people
were compelled to use extreme measures
before they succeeded in driving the mis-
chief maker off. Heappeared impervious
to bricks, boulders and clubs, and finally
scampered off with slight injuries.

Capture of the Roanoke.

HALIFAX, Oct. Pa steamer from Ber-
muda arrived here last night with the pas
sengers of the steamer Roanoke. 1t ap-
pears that after the Roanoke left Havana
her engines were stopped to receive passen-
gers approaching in boats, who afterwards
proved to be Confederates, under Captain
Braine and Lieutenant Parr, of Chesapeake
notoriety. After the capture Braine pro-
posed to Captain Drew to bond the steamer
for $4,000 in gold, payable at Bermuda,
Braine to keep the cargo. This was of
course refused.
The Roanoke arrived at Bermuda quite
out of coal. She had valuable cargo of
baled tobacco, cigars and sugar. Braine
and his associates were all liberated.
Captain Drew and crew left for New
York on the 18th.

THE. CITY.

REFUGEES. Es.--What with the exactions OF
the Union colnmanders and the horde OF
cormorants who followin the wake of the
invading armies, and the still more grind
ing expressions of the rebel leaders, the
Union people of the Southern States have
been made as miserable race of refugees
as ever aroused the sympathy of mankind.
Almost every day and night there are
landed at the depot in this city troupes of
these poor refugees, whose slender means
were exhausted in getting here, and who,
wandering about without motive or pros
pect of relief except by death, are the most
pitiable objects imaginable. They come in
families and swarms; sometimes three gem
erations are represented i'll single groupe;
and sometimes therei is feeble woman with
a family of young children, unable to take
care of themselves. Many of them bear
with them the recollection of happier and
better days, when they were surrounded
by the comforts of home and commanded
the luxuries which wealth secures, all dissi-
pated by the fierce wave of war which has
homesteads and forced them to eat the Bit
ter bread of poverty in exile and banish-
ment. The time was, and within the rec
ollection of the youngest men, when at the
depot there could be seen parties of emf
grants from the Old World, including the
grandsire, son and grand children, on their
way to new homes in the Southwest; but
the tide has changed, and the mournful cur
rent of refugees and exiles has set the 9TH
er way, the wanderers belonging to our
own people. 1t would be humane and gen.
erous to establish in this city and near the
depot, some place of rest and protection for
these unhappy refugees, and some means of
supplying them with the employment they
so earnestly desire; for despite the
beggarly prejudices and sordid sem
timents of fanatics, they are worthy
people entitled to sympathy and encourage
ment, and they would prove valuable ac-
QUESTION to the population. But in view
of the countless calls upon the humane and
the multtudinous acquisitions upon the
charitable engendered by a state of war. it
seems hopeless task to ask for special eX-
ertions on behalf of these untortuna;eS; and
hard as it may appear to those who are
daily witnesses of the piteous spectacle,
there is no alternative but to shut the door
upon the victims and bid them continue
their search for that succor and assistance
which we are unable to render.

sand rebels left between Saline river and
Camden.
Gen. Heron is at Little Rock on an in
specting tour through Canby's department.
There is great activity in military matters,
indicating movement to intercept Price.
All soldiers suffering from chronic diseases,
able to travel, are being sent North on sixty
days furlough. Nearly five hundred have

LAST NIGHT OF THE MARTINETTI.-The
audience at the Atheneum last evening
was one of the largest of the season, and
the entertainment one of the very best. In
all things the Martinettis undertake, they
acquit themselves with credit and carry off
the plaudits of their audiences. The aero
batic performance called the 'Mystic Ring"
is certainly one of the most extraordinary
and daring feats ever performed.
Tonight is the last one OF the engage
ment of the troupe, and the last occasion
the people of Columbus will have to see
them, lit may be for years, and it may be
forever" The bill for the evening is the
best in their list, any one piece being in
itself worth the price of admission. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that the audience
will be equal to the occasion.

General Grant and the Politicians
i'm the Army.

New YORK, October PA special to the
Commercial from Washington says: 1t is
stated that General Grant will insist that
the civilians now at the front who are en-
gagged in the distribution of tickets to the
soldiers for the coming election, shall either
leave the army altogether or make some
arrangement by which their mission can
be performed without impeding military
operations. Their political discussions ex-
cite the soldiers, and in some cases lead
them to neglect their duties. 1t will not
be surprising If there is a. sudden exodus of
politicians from the army ere long.

yesterday left at our counting room several

for the common fondness for the vegetable.
These gigantic potatoes were raised by Mr..

How many, or rather how few, persons

sion" in, progress at the Catholic Church,
north end OF town, being conducted by the

quent Priest of that Church. The various
questions which he proposes to discuss dur

people, and others that think proper to at
tend-v:z: Confession of sins and absolution;
the True Rule of Faith; Prayer for the
Dead; Purgatory, &C., &c.-will, 1 should
judge from hearing him twice already, be
handled in very able manner, and would
be an intellectual feast to both "Jew and
Christian" not often met with from the
Catholic side of the house; and, though
not Catholic, should be sorry to allow
the opportunity to pass without hearing
and seeing this able and eloquent gentle
man; and as there may be others like my
self, you would confer favor by publish
