Marmaduke's Capture.

To TIE EDITOR: In your issue of Nov. q,
ComTade Thos. Legge, of the 9TH Iowa Cav, re-
produces an article written by Capt. j. f.
Young, of the 10Th Mo- Cav, and published in
the Missouri Democrat of Now 8, 1864, in which
he says, of the battle of Mine Creek kan Oct
| %, 1864, that Col. Phillips's Brigade did not
advance on the enemy until Col Benteen's Bri-
gade etfectually and successfully charged and
drove the rebels from their guns Now, this is
not as / saw that fight. Our brigade composed
of the LIST, 4th, and 9TH Cav, M. S. NJ. did
charge, and at the same time as Col. Benteen's
Brigade, and just as effectualiy and success
fully, too, and did just as good fighting as they
We will not forget the service of Capt. Chas. Ii.
Thurber's battery a. I'd Mo- Light Art.) there
that day either, for he fairly flew into line,
and his guns blazed at the same time. Now,
we will not try to rob Benteen's Brigade
of one single laurel, for that was as good bri-
gade as Uncle Sam had No one doubts that
But that Col J. T. Phillips's Brigade was as
good, at least, doubt not. Now, there are
many living witnesses of the fight. Old 1st,
old 4th, old bloody 7th, lets hear from some of
you, boys. Yes; l know that one of Gov Mar
maduke's guns fell right in the way of Co. l.
9TH n. S. NJ, and was gobbled up. Now, Phil
Hpss Brigade never claimed to have taken
Gen. Marmaduke. That rightfully belongs to

Wilkesbarre, extinguishing the forest
fires in the mountains and along the
Lehigh Valley from White Haven h

Port Jeryis, New York, were also ex-
tinguished by rain. The forest fires In
the Moscow and Spring Brook districts,
near Scranton, are burned out. Asteam

cord wood and fences destroyed. The
dwellers at the foot of the mountains
we're driven from their homes by the
intense heat.
The fires in the pines woods near
Matawan New Jersey, were burning
tiercely on Sunday. The woods at
Browntown have begun to burn afresh,
and the loss there is estimated at near
y $50, 900. 1t is said the fire at this
place was started by the careless burn

the losers propose TO hold him respon-
sible for their losses. The uckleberry

Wearing the Livery OF Heaven.

The blood of Jesus will wash away
all the sins and trangressions of those
who believe on Him these same sins
are cast into the sea by our Lord and
Master, never to be remembered against
us any more. But those who "wear
the livery of Heaven to serve the
devil in," need have no hope q eve-
looking upon the reconciled counte-
nance OF Him who died to save the
believer only. He did not die for base
born hypocrites, who only associate
with christians that they may the more
readily accomplish their nefarious pur-
poses that they do deceive the public
at times is patent to all, but then again
the clovsn foot will protrude through
this cloak OF religion; the normal man
will appear in his true light; the Will.
fer and traducer OF those the latchet OF
whose shoes he is unworthy to unloOse,
will be discovered through the tilmy
veil which he has cast around him; in
all his ignorance and impudence will he
stand forth, and when the day of re-
freshing comes the verdict will be
depart from me, ye accursed, know
ye not" This is the final end of those
who "wear the livery of heaven to
serve the devil in" who can see no
good in anything, and who look upon
every body else as FOOLS but themselves.

had Blood

Is inclined to come to the surface in the
spring because of the effort made by
good cid mother nature to throw it off.
If nature does not have help at this
time, the poison may 60 back to the
system and produce all manner of ills
but by the aid of Swift's Specific the
bad blood is all driven out through the
pores of the skin, and permanently re-
lieves the trouble. This remedy is a
purely vegetable and harmless prepa-
ration, but so powerful an antidote to

ASUNDAY FIGHT.
Almost q Riot Near ScheutZen
Park,

About 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon
q fight occurred between some white
and colored men near the Scheutzeu
Park, which threatened to develop into
as serious riot as that OF last summer.
1t seems that three men named Charles
Maxwell, John Boyle and Duke
Frazer, were coming past the park
pretty well under the influence OF
whisky, when they met three co!ored
men, each of whom WAS escortlng a
woman.
One of the white men made an insult.
ing remark concerning the women,
which was resented by the ecolored men.
Another one of the white men then he.
came involved in the difficulty, and
blows passed between him and the
colored man. In few minutes the
fight became general, and stones, bricks
and clubs were freely used. Maxwell
was struck In the forehead with stone,
which inflicted deep cash aud felled
him to the ground, when his antagonist
Jumped on him and beat him terribly.
Other colOred men in the vicinity,
hearing the noise and oaths of the men,
hurried to the place, where they were
met by an equal number Of white men,
who had also been attracted to the spot.
Each took sides with their own color,
and in little time some sixty or
seventy Joined in the fight. The col
ored men threatened Vengeance on all
the whites in the vicinity, and several
Of them made an attack on the houses
Inhabited by Italians in that locality.
The latter met their asshilants with
axes and other weapons, and comrel'ed
them to retreat Al this time some one
hurried to Colquhoun'- drug store,and
telenhoned word Of the affair to police
station.
In response TO the summons officers
Cathcart, Neely, Mccormick and John
B Moore were sent to the scene OF the
fracas, but ON account of the distance
they arrived after the affair ended and
found only few stragClers. There were
no arrests made, and the Off were
unable to ascertain how many were in
iured Maxwell was brought to his
home in this city where his injuries
we're dressed by DR.. West.

Whisky in Plugs.

l'lTTSBuRG May IN. G. PetermaD
a German farmer living on the outskirt.
Of this city, has invented distillery
apparatus and process by which he can
make solidified whisky. He manutac
lures 1t in plugs and it may be carried
about in the pocket as conveniently az
tobacco. When one wants to indulge
all he has to do is to dissolve a chip OF
plug in a tumbler of water, or else take
a chew. In that form 1t is valuable be.
cause 1t avoids leakage and is easily
carried in bulk. Besides this article
Mr.. Peterman can by his machinery
make liquid whisky that will upon
coming out OF the still BIZ equivalent
to two and three year old matured. He
almost sold his patent to New York
parties for 500, 900, but refused because
they wanted Uuited States rights and
he only wanted to give them Alright for
New York. All the machinery IL
patented, but not the article itself. 1t
