ONE OF THE FIRST FIGHTS.
The Battle Between Gems. Rosecrans and
Floyd at Carnifex Ferry, Va.

The Battle Between Gems. Rosecrans and
Floyd at Carnifex Ferry, Va.
One of the few victories won by the
union troops in the early part of the
civil war was at the battle of Carnifex
Ferry, in Virginia, September 10, 1861
This affair at the time was greatly
magnified, and it is still remem bered,
though many other engagements Of
more Importance that took place in the
course of the next two or three years
have been forgotten. Gen. Floyd, with
confederate force of about five thou
sand men, had fortified himself on the
west bank of the Gauley river, near the
Carnifex Ferry. His camp was flanked
on the north and south by deep and
marshy ravines, while the front to the
west was protected by dense forest
Gen. Rosecrans, with a force about
equal to Floyd's, made forced march of
about seventeen miles on the 10th of
September, and at o clock in the after
noon ordered Gen. Benham's brigade
forward to make a reconnaissance. The
battle soon began and firing became
general on both sides. Owing to the
strong position occupied by the confed-
crates they were enabled to keep Ben.
hams brigade at bay for some hours.
When Gen. Rosecrans came up with re-
Inducements it was growing dusk, and
the ground being such that night at
tack on the fort was out of the Ques-
ton he ordered his men to form in line
of battle and rest upon their arms till
the next morning. Had an assault
been made as soon as he arrived in the
evening the fort could have been taken
and Floyd's force captured. During the
night the confederates quietly with
drew, leaving behind them their bag
gage, small arms and munitions of war,
and burning the bridge and ferry boats,
so that pursuit was impossible. The
total casualties amounted to about
three hundred killed and wounded. =

A PIGS REFLECTION.
The Pathetic Little story Told by a
Pet Of the Hog Pen.

Pet of the Hog Pen.
The pig has no better friend in the
northwest than Mr. owen, editor Of
the Farm, Stock and Home, published
at Minneapolis, who in a recent issue
tells the following pathetic pig story:
My master gave me but little atten-
ton when / was nursing. forgot that
the best way to make me grow was 10
feed my mother well, and now l am a
poor, scrawny little fellow, and the
time to make me grow the fastest and
the cheapest IS gone forever l won
der why men can't learn TO raise pigs
right Humph! the most of 'em can't
even raise boy right Guess I'll so
and write this ON my pen so my master
can see it; The well-fed sow is the
boss feeding machine for the young
pig, and the cheapest pork-malSer
known, then maybe he'll do better
next time.
MY master lives in sight of a flour
mill and a grain cleva tor. and, oh.
what lots of good stuff I see going out
of them that my mother tells me pigs
hundreds of miles away get to cat,
and it makes them fat and happy. If
it pays other pigs masters to buy that
stuff and ship it hundreds of miles to
feed to their pigs, don't see why my
master can't afford to buy it; and it
would taste SO good, ana l would feel
better, too, If l could have some of it
IN place of this hard corn all the time.
There is hole in the trough l eat
out of; my master thought he stopped
1t up with a corn-cob, but he didn't,
and so the swill runs out and | guess
the rats under our floor get more of it
than we do. Sometimes wish l was a
rat
MY mother tells me great pains was
taken to get me a large, fat father;
and he was nice, too, she says, and /
looked like him when | was aNbaby,
but she thinks won't be much such a
hog when ! am grown up. She says
my papa told her that what made him
so large and round and nice was lots
of good things to eat when he was
young, not just one thing all the time,
but that stuff from the mill, and such
things. My mother says it don't make
any difference What kind of papa a
pig has, if he isn't fed right, and dom
have a good pen and is sort o. we'll
taken care of he won't amount to
much She says of course blood viii

a half-starved pig as it win TO one with

mother knows what she is talking
