Pretty Sharp.
There is now a ■ pretty sharp war of
words being waged between Gun-thief
Floyd and some of his officers. 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

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.

856, At the commencement of the bat
tle of Bull Run, Lieut. 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.

The Methodists and the War.—
Rev. 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.

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

FOR STATESMEN, JUDGES, CLERGYMEN,
Ladies and Gentlemen, in all parts of the world testify to
the efficacy of Prof. 0. J. Wood's Hair Restorative, and
geutlcuu-n of the Press are unanimous In its praise. A few
testimonials only can bo here given; see circular for more,
and it will be impossible for you to doubt.
47 Wall street. New York, Dec. 20,1858.
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. Very respectfully
