ensued, in which the ground was COM
tested inch by inch, the insurgents re-

the object for which they made the
raid. They captured and destroyed pro-

give any estimate of the patriot loss.-
Fhirty-four wounded of their army were
taken to the barracks.

Besten Wool Market.

The Advertiser, of Friday, says:
The receipts for the week have been II ,2ls
bales, against IL, Az bales for the corresponding
week Of last year. The sales for the week COM
prise $1,000 Ds of Domestic fleece, and pulled
and so bales of Foreign.
The transactions in domestic wool, the past
week have been Of less magnitude than those
OF the Previous one, and the market has ruled
comparatively quiet. The depressed condition
Of the goods market, and the frequent occur
renee of a pinch" in many circles, has led to
extreme caution, and manufacturers purchase
only to supply immediate wants, and for the
present. atieast, trade appears likely to be more
evenly distributed throughout the season than
formerly. There is a very little change to note
In prices, although some houses think the mar
ket rather favors the buyer, and II is possible
that certain grades which are in good supply
can De bought for cash a shade lower than two
weeks ago. Coarse and medium grades are eun-
changed, and while there has not been so large
an amount sold, full prices have been realized.
The sales of Ohio and Michigan extra have
been made at $685. and we think some hold
erS are not quite so firm on this grade rs they
were week ago. Fine woods are only inquired
for TO a limited extent, and dealers generally
are not Offering their stock. Delaine and comb
ing woolscontinue to be freely taken, and sales
have been made at al advance on recent quota
tions. The stock of this description is light
and firmly held. There is fair demand for
California and prices are well sustained.

THE Bellaire Advertiser, published by
D. Long, at Bellsire. from which We
copied an article last week, in which
the editor, Democrat, spoke highly of
Judge C. w. Carroll and Barkly Cooper,
the Republican candidates for Probate
Judge and Treasurer, has suspended for
a few weeks to allow the editor and pub
Usher to canvass for an increase of SUBJ
scribers. The Gazette, that never thinks
of telling the truth when the interest OF
its party is involved, announced that the
paper was discontinued. This was done,
no doubt, to discourage the efforts of Mr..
Long tosecure an increased patronage for
his paper, which is printed in the inter-
est of The rapidly improving town Of
Bellaire. If the people down there were
as anxious to injure the Gazette as its
editor seems to be to stand in the way OF
Bellaire enterprise, they might hurt him
far worse than he can them.

GRAssHoPPERs.- The grasshoppers
are destroying the oats crop in some
parts of this county. We have heard of
a number of fields that have been almost
totally destroyed, and others that were
cut before the grain was ripe to prevent
the destruction. The grasshoppers eat
off the small stem that holds the grain
to the straw, leaving the field without
anything but standing straw.

Two weeks ago we cited three cases In
t.'- Congressional District where civil
iaI.s had been removed from bositioh
ar: soldiers appointed in itifet places.
and the Cadiz Sentinel, with its usual
want OF candor and fairness, asserts that
1.-THE BELMONT CHRoNICLE has discov-
cred one solitary case in which civilian,
who his grown rich in the service has
been removed from Office and a soldier
appointed in his place." Why not say
three as you know is the fact? It seems
to us that you are fairly {" caught up lin
this :. falsehood and we hope you will
have honor enough to make the ae-
knowiedgement as fairly as we did when
you called our attention to a mistate-
ment of fact which we were misled in by
a contemporary. Editors may sometimes
be mistaken as well other people and it
is an evidence of honesty when they
make proper corrections. Itl
is possible that in reading our article on
this subject you may not have seen the
names of Hon. G. J. Albright and Judge
who have been removed in this
District, and their places filled by John
Sargent and Gordon Laughlin, both SOL
diers, and we again call your attention
TO the subject that you may have an op-
portunity to correct your mistake.
II is little singular that the st.
Evansville Gazette should make the same
mistake. Il
1t is scarcely necessary to call the at
ention of Mr.. Arnold to the slight ob-
urdity contained in his reference to this
natter, where he says that the predeces-
or of Mr.. Bolon has grown rich in the
ervice," and that Mr.. Bolon "had bet
er not speculate heavy in real estate, III ,
depends on the salary of his Office to
make the payments" .
