SUMMARY OF THE RAID.

The Wilson Raid, considering the
number of miles Travelled, celerity of move
ment, destruction of public property,
prisoners taken and small roster Of casu-
aitieS i'll its prosecution, was the most
successful raid of the war, and brought
about the greater results. For the first
time in the history of cavalry movements,
on this raid mounted charges on intrench-
ments considered impregnable were made,
and the astonished rebels fled incontinently
from the trenches as the horses and riders
poured over the works upon them. a
gunboat was also captured by the corps
at Columbus. Everything in the way of
fighting done by infantry, with the posi-
BILE exception of bayoneting, was dupli-
Gated by the cavalry on this raid.

'The enemy attempted to delay your
march at Ebenezer Church, and paid the
penalty OF his rashness by leaving three
guns and 200 prisoners in your hands.
Selma lay before you, surrounded by
two lines Of intrenchments, the outer one
continuous, fianked by impossible swamps,
covered by stockades, and defended by
1000 troops under the command of Lieut.
Gen. Forrest Like an avalanche the
intrepid soldiers of the Second Division
swept over the defenses on the Summer
| field road, while the Fourth Division car
ried those on the Plantersville road. The
enemy, astonished and disheartened,
broke from their strong works, and Selma
was fairly won. The enemy, under Chal-
mers, attempted to drive in the picket line
Of the Second Division during the battle
and go to the rescue Of the rebel garrison
but their efforts were futile, and they were
compelled to retreat rapidly beyond the

West Point was supposed to be i'm
pregnable, and here were gathered large
stores for the rebel army. Besides these
the entire rolling stock OF the railroad
was tied up in the yards ere. Our course
from Selma had been ing its line, and
everything movable was loaded in the
cars by the frightened citizens along the
line and kept moving. Our advance had
been so rapid they had not had time to un-
load them at West Point. They could
run no further because theirs was a differ
ent gage from the road the other side
Of the river. There were 20 locomotives
and 300 cars in the yard, loaded with
provisions, arms and machinery for making
them, and large amount of ammunition.
One train was loaded with sugar and
molasses and others with corn. Orders
were issued to go through the cars and
take anything in the line OF supplies we
wanted, and the command smoked good
cigars and tobacco till long after we reach
cd Macon. In going through the trains
saw many fine pianos and richly-uphol-
stored, massive furniture, and silver plate.

This place is situated 16 miles
east of Cumberland near the Bal
timore pike. The country is
sparsely settled owing to the fact
that most of this territory is yet
virgin forest. The land is gener-
ally in the hands of lumbermen.
Henry H. Fry, of Reading, owns
1900 acres; the Bilmire Broth
ers of w. Va, some 5000 acres;
the Mirting Bros, of Cumber-
land 5000 acres, and just here
and there a small farm cleared.
Times are brisk here,as a great
many men are employed getting
out this lumber, Wages pretty
fair. An ordinary laborer in the
woods gets $l.20 a day. A. Fl,
Garland is saving for FL. Ii. Fry
by the hundred. He has con-
tracted for the saving Of the en-
tire job estimated at over two
million feet.
Most of the people here are
generous and kind hearted
worse to themselves than to any
body else.
Mr.. Fry. is selling this land
just as fast as he gets the timber
off.
There is some of the finest
kind of farm land here-yellow

Union township has purchased a
nice tract and moved here,
Mr.. Shannon Carpenter, of
Hyndman, Bedford county, has
bought |, 200 acres. He intends
to clear it and go into the stock
business.
The land sells at 81 an acre.
Game has been very plentiful this
season - especially, squirrels
and wild turkeys. Mrs. Garland
and her daughter have had the
pleasure of cooking and serving
23 wild turkeys up to this time,
and squirrels too numerous to
mention.

HIRED GIRLS PROGRESS.
Fable Showing Wisdom of silence
Concerning Some Things.


Once upon time there came into the
city from the country Il girl. The girl
wandered from her happy home to Sc
cure employment among the wealthy
families of the city, and when she
made known the fact that she was
willing to work many persons sought
her and implored her to engage with
them in domestic pursuits. The girl
was overwhelmed with offers, but final
ly made selection and settled In u
family that valued her services very
highly. The girl was happy until one
day her employer met neighbor, Il
very dear friend, and told her of her
good fortune in finding the country
girl. And this neighbor met another
very dear friend and told her Of her
other friends good luck, and thus did
it become generally known that there
was good "hired girl In the neigh
borhood
And from that time on the mistress
and the girl were unhappy until one
day the very dear friend gave the girl
$3.50 more a week than she was earn
ing in her first place, and In this man
ner did the girl become happy again,
while her mistress and the very dear
friend ceased to be on speaking terms.
And then the girl became unhappy
again until the other very dear friend
engaged her at an advance of 81, and
the other dear friend and the first dear
friend ceased to talk over the back
fence. And then the good girl wore
fine dresses and fine hats, and one day
a dashing young man led her to the
altar, and now the three friends and
the poor country girl are all very
happy.

Though you roll in royal billions

Talk to Farm Boys.

There is a desire on the part of
many boys raised ON the farm to
seek employment in the city.
There seems to be a sort Of fasci-
nation in city life, because of the
greater advantages in the way of
amusements and education. The
farmer boys idea of city life is
that it is one of extreme enjoy
ment and perfect contentment,
and by comparison he thinks his
own life of drudgery. When he
looks at and envies the well
dressed city boy, he does not see
the temptations and evil influ-
ences that surround him, nor
think of the effect of impure air
and sedentary habits upon the
body. He is governed only by
appearances. The country boy
is as free as air. He comes un-
der the most wholesome influ-
ences and is not subjected daily
to those awful temptations which
lead to corruption and degreda-
ton, those evil influences which
work their way so quietly and yet
so surely into ones life. He is in
a position to develop a sound body
and a sound mind, and the condi-
tions under which he is brought
up gives him stability and deter
mination. He is accustomed to
hard work, is permitted to share
some of the care and responsible
ity connected with earning live
lihood, and when thrown on his
own resources is able to meet the
stern realities of life face to face,
without timidity and without fear
of shouldering any burden which
may be placed upon him. He
may not have the polish that men
tai training gives, but he is fami-
liar with the practical affairs of
life. One may become familiar
with the sciences, may have a
technical knowledge of the clas-
sizes, and yet have to rely on his
talents for a livelihood. The one
who becomes acquainted with the
fundamental principles of the
ruling forces of the world is build
ing on substantial foundation.
Upon the recognized principles of
right and wrong hangs the sue
cess or failure of every enter
prise. The country boy is in a
position to acquire practical
knowledge at small expense,
which will be more useful to him
than any amount of ornamental
learning. AS far as superiority
is concerned, it may be in eyi-
dence in farmer as we'll as any
one. 1t is brought about, not by
the occupation, but by the organ
ization of the faculties, the abso-
Lutte adherence to the universally
recognized principles of right
If it falls to your lot to be coun-
trybred, be proud of the fact and
improveyour opportunities, which
will bring you to the height of am
bition.-E. d. Houghland, in
Prairie Farmer.
