It ap ppars that tjhe officers of the Wise Legion have disapproved of Floyd’s conduct, and published their opinions in the Richmond £nquirer,at which Floyd is greatly grieved, and sends a letter to the Enqui rer t Q{whic]i the following is an extract: '‘Heaixidaetkiis Abmy of Kakawha, “ Camp on Sewell, October fi, 1861. In the Enquirer, of October 1, you have published certain letters, dated ia Camp Defi anso.purporting to be written by officers in the “ Wise Legion," under my command. These persons pretended to .narrate my conduct in this campaign, particularly in the late actions on the Gauley and retreat to Meadow Bluff.— Their statements are calumniatory falsehoods, having no shadow of truth.for their foundation; but their intention, and not less tbeirmalignity, is too obvious to permit me to believe that they can be injurious, either to my own reputation or that of the army which I then commanded.” He then proposes to leave bis reputation to his tory, and to-his "living countrymen, who love justice.” In conclusion, he demands the names of the officers who invented and published the libels against “their general, that they may be tried by the military tribunals, and punished according to the laws of the army.” “To this letter the proprietors and edi tors of the Enquirer thus reply : “ Ekquxbeb Office, Oct 10, 1801 “ John B. Floyd, Esq— Sir: Vonr letter of October 6th is before us. Not recognizing any authority in yourself, either individually or as commander of the, army of Kanawha,.to demand the names of our correspondents, we decline to coniply with your request. “ Tyleb, Wise; & Aixeqke.” The editors of the Enquirer then make the following editorial remarks : “We declined to famish the names- of our correspondents to Qen. Floyd, because of his purpose to seek bis vindication through a court martial, instead of the usual mode among gen tlemen. Whenever Gen. Floyd proposes a per sonal vindication, the names of the correspon dents shall he furnished. “We shall dismiss this letter with the state ment that the characters of our correspondents Kave never been etained by the tutpicion of a crime, and that the charge of falsehood against them is much easier made than proved. They are gen tlemen, the equals of Gen. Floyd, in every re spect, and what they have averred in their com munications, we believe to be true in letter and spirit," Considering all that Floyd has- done for •the South, we think this very unkind treatment. " But he appeals to history.— No doubt, “history,” as well as “ his countrymen who love justice,” will do him justice. Thu “ Hoosier” Ladies Moving A correspondent sends a report of the pro ceedings of a meeting of young! ladies, held a* Logansport, Ind., oh the 30th of September, by whom it was Setolved, That we deem it to be the July of every young unmarried man to enlist and fight tor the honor of his country, his flag, and his own reputation. ■ .2d. That the young men, in this time of our country’s peril, have but one good excuse for not being a soldier and (bat is Cowardice. '3d. That the young man who now fails to respond toithe call of the conntrv, is not worthy the kind regards or the smiles o'f the voung la dies-of our native Hoosier State, and that none but ladies of doubtful age will smile on such men. dtb. That we will have nothing to do with young men who refuse to go to the war, and that “Home. Guards” must keep their distance. hth. That the young man who has not pluck enough to fight for his country, has not got the manliness to make a good husband. Gth. That we will marry no man who bos not been a soldier. Tth. Tbat we will not marry until after the war is over; and then “Home Guards!” No. ntter."' A. WoSpsam- Fortification. — There are many wonderful natural curios ities and antiquated relics to be found in Kentucky, and one of the most remarka ble of, them is to be'found in Alien county on the Tennessee border, and seventeen .miles from Bowling Green; where a wall of solid limestone, two hundred yards in length, forty feet high, thirty, feet at the base and six feet wide at the top, crosses a neek formed by a bend in Drake’s creek ahu eholoses a peninsula of two hundred aorcs, elevated one.hundred and ten feet the river. On' the top of this na turMmound is an arch of three acres, en closed by a wall and a ditch, forming one bf the strongest fortresses in the world.—V It is_ not improbable that the fortunes of War may cause this old fortification, built, it snpposed, antecedent to the race of P® held the country when discov ered by Europeans— —to be coupled by a' hoatUo force, and made to play* ptomi .this civil contest. y , •' a ; ■' Part of the If aval Expedition Sailed- The great naval ''expedition that has been in the course of preparation in New, York for srime weeks begins to assume a collossal proportion. The Steamers Ca hawbaand Coatzacoalcos sailed on Satur day evening, carrying the Rhode Island regiment lately encamped at Fort Hamil ton, Resides a force of experienced surf men, with their boats. On Sunday morn ing the Stiir of the South followed, hav ing on board Col. Sorrell's Engineer reg iment, previously announced as having gone to Washington. This regiment numbers about five i hundred men, all of whom are practical engineers ior mechan ics. During the day the transports Ocean Queen', Eagle, Daniel Webster, Ariel and Oriental also sailed on the same errand.— The remainder of the fleet probably left on Monday. The transport Rhode Island on Sunday afternoon, went down as far as Quarantine, and anchored. It is under stood that the fleet will rendezvous at Annapolis,‘where it is stated the number of troops will be largely augmented, inclu ding infantry, artillery and cavalry.- Among the troops who ore to; participate in the expedition are Col. Wilson’s Mas sachusetts regiment. It is impossible to give a full list of the vessels that: will compose the fleet, as many of them leave other ports beside New York. Among those that sailed from that port, besides the ones above mentioned are the Wabash—flag ship; the gunboats Ottawa and Unadilla, transports, Baltic, Atlantic, Cahawba, Vanderbilt, Empire City, Parkersburgh, Roanoke; Great Re ■ public; steamships Augusta, Jatnes Adger, Florida, Curlew!, Alabama, Mercury, 0. M. Petitt, besides a large.number of other craft of various dimensions. The Atlan tic' and Baltic, and others among the transports, i have guns mounted. Some idea may bp formed of the magnitude of the expedition, when it is stated that one of the transports—the Daniel Webster— carries little else but water for the troops. Of the destination,of this large force, of course we have nothing to say. It may probably be New Orleans, or Mobile, or St. Augustine, or Brunswick, hr Savan nah, or Charleston, or one of the Beau forts, or Wilmington—the reader, how ever, is at lliberty to fix the locality for himself. That'the expedition will be a very formidable one, is not to be doubted. A Baltimore correspondent notes the im portant fact that on Thursday last fifteen thousand troops passed over the: Annapolis Railroad from Washington, bound for some unknown destination, and we hear of preparations for the , immediate em barkation of others. This large body of men is undoubtedly intended .do form a portion of this great expedition.

Hasbrouck, of tbo West Point battery, was riding a little sor rel horse, which was shot three times, and from loss of blood became too weak for further service. He Was stripped of bri dle and saddle and turned loose as his own er supposed! to die. ; In the heat of the contest nothing more was thought of the little sorrel, bor was 'he seen again until of the battery Was far to wards Washington on the retreat. It paused at Centrevillt*, and while resting there Lieut. Hasbrobok was delighted to be joined by his faithful horse, which by a strong instinct had obeyed the bugle call to retreat, and hid fooud |iis true po sition With the battery, which most of the human mass engaged on the field cannot boast of. doing, he came jsafely into Washington, ’is now recovered of his wounds and ready for another!.fight. Shocking Railroad Accident. —The Fast Line West, on Friday afternoon ran over and instanty killed a little girl aged three years, i daughter of Mrs. Hopton, while playing on the track at Kinzer’s station, Lancaster county. The child, horribly mutilated, Was picked up by its 'mother. The engineer saw the child too late to cheek the speed of the locomotive, but blew thoi whistle is an alartn. A gen tleman who was on the train says he never saw a 'more heartrending spectacle.

Bishop Ames, of the, Methodist Episcopal Church in Indiana, lately ad vised his son, a young man of eighteen years to enlist for the war, and has ex pressed a determination to spend the win ter in camp himself. The conference will soon be over; when he will have a few months release from his official duties, which he; proposes thus to devote to the moral and; religious interests of the sol diers. Hie is one of the most able and popular men of the West, and his spirit is largely shared by the ministers with whom he is associated. At the late ses sion of the Illinois Conference which em braces but a small portion of the State, not less than ten clergymen received ap pointments as chaplains in the army, they having been already chosen to fill that position by the proper authorities.— The other Western Conferences are also giving some of their best men to the work.

A Baltimore Lady Taken Down.— A letter from Baltimore aajs:—“An officer who camo up from Annapolis was walking in the street, when he met a lady who gathered up her skirts close :tp her and said, “Don’t touch me, you vile wfctch,” and passed on. The gentleman made no reply, but, turning round, followed her to a handsome house on a fashionable street, and, as soon as she entered he ascended the steps and rang the bell. A servant answered the summons, and the officer asked the name of the gentleman residing there, and said that he wished to see him. When he appeared the of ficer said to him: “Sir, a woman has just en tered this house who grossly insulted me on the street a few moments since, and I wish to know if you are responsible for her behavior?” The gcntlemau turned to the lady, who wasstanding behind him, and said, “Annie, come here and apologize Ito this gentleman. I will not be drawn into scrapes by your insolence. X have told you all along that you would get yourself into trouble by your unbridled tongue, and you wouldn’t listen to mo ; now you may take the consequences.” Th§ lady then came forward and made a full apology, and the officer left the house.” SPECIAL NOTICES.

Gentlemen -Your note of the lothiust.. bus been re ceived, saying that you had that 1 hud been bene fitted by the use of Wood's Hair Restorative, and request ing my certificate of the fact if 1 had no objection to give it. I award it to you cheerfully, because I think it due. My age is about 50 years; the color of my hair aubuxu, and inclined to curl. Some live or six years since it began to turn gray, aud tho scalp on the crown of my head to lose its sensibility and dandruff to form upon it. Each of these disagreeabilitiea increased with time, and about -4 mouths since u fourth was added to them, by hair falling off the top off my head and threatening to make mo bhld. In this unpleasant predicament, 1 was induced to try Wood’s Hair Restorative, mainly to arrest the falling off of my hair, for I had really bo expectation that gray hair could ever be restored to its original color except from dyes. I was, however, greatly surprises! to find after the use of two bottles only, that not only was the falling off arrested, but the color was restored to the gray hairs and sensibility to the sculp, and dandruff ceased to form on my head, very much to the gratification of my wife, at whose solicitation 1 was Induced to try It. this, among the many obligations I owe to her sex, I strongly recommend all husbands who value the admi ration of their wives to profit by my example, and use it if growing gray or getting bald.
