Port Republic.

To TEE EDITOR: There seems to be differ.
ence of opinion about the bridge at Port Re-
public, Va, in regard to why it was not burned
on Saturday, June 8, 1862. 1t was common
opinion that Col. Carroll disobeyed orders that
day that he tried to hold the bridge instead
of burning it. and that he was after a star in
80 doing. AS to the statement of the same
writer that he did not have time to burn it
that it was too we'll defended, and our forces
were compelled to retire, a number of citi-
zens informed me after the severe battle of
June 9 Il was dangerously wounded and left in
rebel hands,, that there was none of their
troops in the Port that afternoon, save few
who had struggled across the river, or had
business on that side of the river; that Gen.
jackson was in town just few minutes before
Carrolfs forces came in, and that he made a
lively dash for the bridge, not to burn it, but to
cross and save himself from being captured !;
also, that our troops could easily have burned
the bridge, and that without opposition worth
mentioning; that artillery from the other side
of the river drove them back. The 9th Ohio
was, by orders (they did not belong to Carrolrs
Brigade), on the hill, or mountain side, in the
woods, almost in the rear of town, and would
surely have known of severe fighting, or had
hand in it, if it had been going on.
Troops were crossed over the bridge and they
followed our retreating forces, and went past
where we were posted before they knew we
were there, and when they learned that a regi-
ment of Yankees was getting in their rear,
they went flying back without firing shot.
Also, when Tyler's Brigade marched toward
Port Republic, we saw hundreds of Carrolls
men lying along fences miles in the rear of
his command. So many commissioned officers
were among them that it looked as though
whole companies, if not regiments, had made
up their minds that they did not care to take
hand in winning star for the Colonel COM
manding; or, at least, other hands should run
the risk of getting hurt or burned at the bridge.
They were cursed roundly by the passing
troops of Tylers Brigade as towards. A whole
afternoon, with but two or three miles to make
it, and scarcely any one to hinder, ought to be
long enough for even the part of a brigade
that went forward to duty with their Com
mander to have made successful job of burn
ing; for it was nearly dark when they came
back 1t was quite dark when We were ordered
to fall back directly after and went into camp
In the open grounds, while the wagons were
moved miles in the rear.-GEo. c. CLOUDS, 5th

The fatal rapidity with which slIghs
Colds and Coughs frequently develop
into the gravest maladies of the throat
and lungs, is q consideration which should
impel every prudent person to keep at
hand, as household remedy, bottle OF
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
Nothing else gives such immediate relief
and works SO sure cure in all affections
OF this class. That eminent physician &
Prof. f. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical
School, Brunswick, Me-, says
"Medical science has produced no other ano-
dyne expectorant so good Is AYERS CHERRY
PEcToRAL. 1t is invaluable for diseases Of the
throat and lungs"
The same opinion IS expressed by the
well-l.nown DR.. l.. j. Addison, Of Chicago
H., who says
81 have never found, IN thirty five years Of
continuous study and practice of medicine, any
preparation of SO great value as AYERS CBERRY
PICTORIAL, for treatment of diseases of the
throat and lungs. 1t not only breaks up oOlds
and cures severe coughs, but is more effective
than anything else in relieving even the most
serious bronchial and pulmonary aSectiops.r

Of death, allow me to state that Jas. Van Dusen,
Co. G, 207th Pa, was so sure he would be
killed in one of the charges in front of Peters
burg that he gave his watch and other trinkets
to his comrades, and begged that his body be
taken care of by his friends and not allowed
to fall in the hands of the rebels. The poor
fellow was shot dead, as he anticipated, the

u not new claimant for popular conf
dence, but medicine which Is to-day
saving the lives of the third generation
who have come into being since 1t was
first offered to the public.
There is not q household In which this
invaluable remedy has once been In
troduced where its use has ever been
abandoned, and there is not a person
who has ever given it a proper trial
for any throat or lung disease suscep-
tible Of cure, who has not been made
well by it.
AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has,
In numberless instances, cured obstinate
cases of chronic Bronchitis, Larnygitis,
and even acute Pneumonia, and has
saved many patients in the earlier stages
of Pulmonary Consumption. 1t Is o
medicine that only requires to be taken ir
small doses, is pleasant TO the taste, and is
needed in every house where there are
children, as there is nothing so good as

The Corn Question.

The Canning Neags says Of the corn ques-
ton: when we reflect while this was an
exceptional season for the production of
corn, the exception has been against rather
than for it, the early part of the summer be-
ing unusually dry, and again when corn was
filling more rain was needed Seventy
bushels is a good showing, but put us on re-
cord that old Hughes will one day turn out
100 bushels of No. l hard yellow dent to the
acre. The first load of new corn sold here
brought fifty cents bushel. 1t was from
sod that yielded forty bushels to the acre.
This at fifty cents makes $50 an acre, from
which take 81 for breaking and fifty cents
for seed and planting, makes net profit of
$3.50 per acre, sod CROP This in country
that eastern people say grows nothing but
buffalo peas and bunch grass.
The corn question is of special interest in
the more northerly sections this year, in
view Of the price Of wheat. The Gay AdOo-
cate, in deuel. county, in the central region,
says: 'The fact has been fully demonstrated
to dot this season that corn can be raised
successfully in tkis locality, and that too of
good quality. Those of our farmers in this
vicinity who stuck to corn are coming out in
good shape. Corn has fully matured and
ripened, and is now out of all danger from
frost. Yes, Dakota can raise corn"

The Blunt Times has this mention of the
man whose trial on the charge of killing a
young girl at Lincoln, III. caused such excite
ment. After his acquittal public meeting
demanded his removal. The Times says:
o. \. Carpenter arrived in Blunt Wcdnes-
day evening of last week. Being asked by
the Times If it was true that he had retained
counsel to bring suit against the committee
of fifty who waited on him in Lincoln to
ask him to remove thence, he said it was not;
that he had not given the subject any thought
and says it was published by the Lincoln
Journal and its attaches, in order to keep the
subject alive ana make wonder mongers

4 Tough Joke.

On this incident related by the Blunt Times
the joke seems to have been carried too far:
ga young settler near Blunt was visited a
few weeks ago by his brothers. wife and
child, and with them came young lady
friend. The bachelor when quizzed about
the ladies who came, said the younger lady
was his bride and that his sister-in-law came
out as an escort. The young people of the
neighborhood thought it was an occasion to
be marked, aud they marked it with red.
Painted the air red as it were, and one of
them who sometimes writes for the press,
wrote a note of the wedding to the Globe
Democrat of st. Louis, where both parties
came from. In conversation with the sister
in-law few days after the letter was mailed,
she said there had been no marriage, that
her brother-in-law was joking, and that the
young lady had come TO Dakota for her health
and to bear her company.

4 Lost Child.

The Union in Potter county says: Last
Saturday morning Mr.. Stephen G.. Manful
went to the river for a load of wood, leaving
his five children in charge Of the house.
About II O'Clock the four youngest went to
a neighbours on an erra1d, and when they
returned at 2 O'clock. they found that the
oldest girl Ina aged fourteen, had disap-
pearcd. Mr.. Manful did not arrive home
from the river until p. m, Sunday, when
he for the first time was apprised of his
daughters Disappearance. He Immediately
mounted horse and commenced a diligent
search among his neighbors for his missing
child. He rode all Sunday night without
finding any clue as to her whereabouts, and
on Monday started messengers in every
direction, he himself going to Gettysburg,
in hopes Of obtaining some information
there. No cause can he assigned for the
girls disappearance, and Mr.. Manful is
nearly crazed by his loss.

Black ms F,o,,r.

The Black Hills Jo,IRGl note this change
IN that region:
Only few years ago -four was sold in the
Black Hills country at 500 per hundred
pounds, and some Of it wasn't very good
dour At that Even in the spring OF 1877 the
price remained for some time at SIS per
hundred. When freight teams enough
we're placed on the roads to transport all the
provisions necessary in the Hills the price Of
first grade -four ranged from So to $40 per
Aupdred. Many people enormously sup
po3ed even four or five years ago that this
country would never produce its own wheat
and other grains, or that at any rate such
crops would not be certain growth. and that

we would have to rely upon Nebraska, Iowa,
Minnesota and other states for our supply.
In the light of the present such belief
seems ridiculous, and YET we all know that it
was frequently expressed. Hundreds of
thousands of pounds of -four were in the
early years of white settlement in the Hills
shipped into the country. Now the tide has
turned the other way, and hundreds of thous-
ands of pounds of flour produced here are
being shipped out. Some of the Indian
agencies get their supply in this quarter.

Annual balance to credit of flock. .... $40:
Or thirty-four per cent upon the money
invested.
The WATERFOWL Courier comments upon
these figures:
Any prudent farmer in Dakota can do as
well and can raise wool at prices with which
eastern farmers can not compete, because Of
our cheap lands and the ease with which
pasturage can be secured, sheds for winter
can be erected at nominal expense.
What this farmer has done every one of
our farmers can do, and eastern people con-
templating coming to Dakota to engage in
farming, can do nothing more profitable
than to make sheep raising an important
feature in a system Of diversified farming on
our fertile prairies.
When most of the wheat raised along the
line OF the Northwestern in Dakota brings
the grower only from 40 to 45 cents they
think it rough that the road insists on the
old prices to Chicago. They are advised by
the local papers in localities to be touched by
the Rock Island to hold till that is completed
when they are confident they can get figures
less than "a cents bushel.
