For the- Inquirer. ' Fourth of July felebralion at Hood berry. \JH EMTOB : Yoo will confer n favor on ! vour frituds in ibis neighborhood by giving a j ' l ace to the following brief account of bow j te spent tbe fourth in Woodberry. In the j jj rs t place let me state that a celebration of oar ustmsal birth day cn a grand scale was oufetnplaied, printed handbills were circulated —and the people called npoo to turn out and show their patriotic devotion to their country by a general participation in tho ex ercises of the occasion. Tbe call was nobly responded to— from tbe hills and valleys they ' oJine cimens and soldiers—all departments nd professions of life were fully represented —in a word tbe town was alive with "fair women and brave men." About half pa>-t ten o'clock Fata l J. 0 stner, Esq., finely mounted on a large Iron Gray Horse, dressed with badges appropriate to irnch an occasion, formed tbe procession in the town in the following srder near Dr. C. F Oeileigs : First t.'apt, l)n'l M. Hires, Fattens villa Rifles, 2-1 Porters Creek Guards, com manded by Cept. John B. Fluck, 3d Millers tuwn Guards, conimi ndci by Uapt. J. Nicode mus, Jr., 4th the Woodbury Zouaves, Capt. F,. D. Brisban, all in full uniform. sth Oiatois of the day, Gib the Sunday Schools, 7b Ladies, bib Gentlemen, four abreast. TLe military companies by the way deserve particular men tion, for their very geutleuianly conduct and soldier like nnpearanoe, and the gieat profi. cieocv they have attaiued in their drilling, iu the short time they have been practicing.— Tbe procession being formed about half a mile m length, countermarched through tbe town, and then proceeded to the splendid grove of Dr. Sml. H. Smith adjacent to the town whore a stand had been ereoted for the speakers. The meeting being called to order by Rev. | John H. Wilkinson who, acoordmg to previous arrangements announced the officers of the day. Col. John 0. Everhart was called to the chair, Istsc Burger and George Soulsby, were made vice pre-iients and Jacob Brctin a man, Esq., secretary. The meeting beiog organized tbe j fifo and drums played a be-utiful national air. John E. Sstterfield, Esq., was then called I upon and read the DecUratiou of Independence, in a very clear and creditable manner. The Star Spangled Banner, was then sung by the Ladies in most excellent style. G. H. SpaDg, Eq., being then called to tho stand delivered one of tbe most heart stirring and patriotic i orations that it lias ever beeu your correspou- j dent's pleasure to listen to. Commenoeing at j tbe settlement of the colonies, he gave a graffic | description of the history of our forefathers ! down to tbe framing of tbe Declaration of In- j dependenco, hia picture of the trials and hard ships, Gen. Washington and hie little baud of patriots had to endure in achieving the liber ties we enjoy, caused the tears to start iu the eyes of many of bis bearers, following the course of events down to tbe present crisis, which he dwelt upon at some length he plainly showed that the whole difficulty arose from a few traitorous aspirants who are lusting for unholy power; bis speech was interrupted with rounds of applause at different intervals. j The ladies being again called on sung the Red, White and Blue, very beautifully, the dinner was now announced. Ibe speakers then by order of the Marshal beaded the pro fession and marched to the table, ihe military j and citizens following, and partook of a sump- ; ♦ous dinner such as we have never seen before, j Two tables, one between two and three hundred feet long were put up in tbe grove—hnd liter ally crammed with loads of finest substantial# , and choicest delicasies ; everything that oould j satisfy the hungriest appetite or tempt the most fastidious epicure was thero in abuudanoe. Not less (ban eighteen hundred persons partook of dinner at tbe one table, whilst about two hundred connected with tho Sunday Schools, teachers and scholars oocupiedtha other which was almost seventy-five feet in length. Cold turkeys, hams, chickens, beef, br a', butter, oheese, pies, oakes, pickles, preserves, fruit, &0., were there in profusion and plenty of good hot coffee for all. After all bad eaten and were satisfied there were still many, many full baskets of provisions left. This was distnbu ted among persons in the neighborhood who received it in the same kind spirit in which it wss given. This elegant, free dinner , re flects great credit npoD the hearts and hands i of the good people of Woodbury and tbe sun* j rounding country by whom it ws furnished and prepared. After dinner the marshal again formed the military in line and marched to tba stand.— Maj. A. J. Ransom was oalleJ upon and sung the "Star Spangled Banner" and "Gay and Happy" in good style, whioh was highly ap puuded by tbe audience. Hon. John (Je soa being then loudly called, took the stand and delivered one of the most patriotic spoeobes we have heard siDce the entry's present crises, indeed he did credit to himself and to all who heard him dwelling entirely on tbe presont war, and difficulties now at issue between the Gov. | eminent and the Rebels. Tears were seen ! coursing the cheeks of stout hearts during 'he delivery of bis speech, be showed clearly thai there was but two sides to this question, that all good and loysl citizens must support the j Constitution and the Government, proving to j a demonstration that the secessionists are in { the wrong, and that the Government is in the ; that there is no middle oonrse, that ev ,ry man mnst be either a Fatriot or a Rebel At tbe conclusion, three hearty cheers were given for the speakers. A number of toasts were then read by J. B> Durborrow, Esq., j which were heartily respond,to by John B. I Fluck, Esq., J. K. SsDerfi-'M, Frof. J. W. I Diokerson, and John '/ilkicson, at tbe oon slusion of which the band played another ra tional air. The military was thtn again form -83 into line —beaded by mars: >l, the ora tors, ladies and oitixtns, falling in j ranks and again marched into town, cot ; er-merched through the streets, and were dismissed in re gular order by the marshal, S J. Castner, Esq. ID conclusion, we must say that tbe whole affair did credit to Woodberry and tho sur rounding country. There was no distorfcanco of any kind, not a druokeu man to be seen daring the whole of tbe celebration. Indeed *e must say that we had a happy Fourth—a dJ that will long be remembered by all who *re present. Maj. A. J. Santum organised Woodberry Zouaves into a military oom- P°J.

My dnties here having terminated, I am ordered to join my Regiment. I find it not only a duty, but a very great pleasure, to express in this man ner my heartfelt thanks on behalf of the sick soldiers confined to my charge, for the tender cure, and very great kindness manifested by all the citi zens of ibis beautiful town. Every want has been anticipated, and a more friendly sympathy could not have been exhibited had the poor fellows been brothers, instead of strangers accidentally thrown among you. In my constant-intercourse among the men, I have heard but one feeling ot gratitude expressed, and many a whispered prayer for blessings upon their kind friends. For myself, personally, I have to add the testi mony of a grateful heart, for tbe kindest attentions have been shown me, and every thing has lie en done to make my sojourn here a pleasant one. It has been most agreeable, and I shall always in after life look back upon ray stay in Bedford with feelings of pleasure aud thankfulness, always praying that the richest of Heaven's blessings may be liberally bestowed upon you all.

Jlnothr Fi/fht —General AJorrix Jit tacks u Division of Wise's Jlrmy—Twenty three Killed, Two Hundred Prisoners, and Seven ty one Horses—Wise at Laurel Hill on the Fourth of July, Sfc GKAFTON, Va., July 3.—Shortly a r ter I closed my letter to you of yosterday, we re ceived information of a considerable fight, at least in its results, between Genera! Morris's column of this (MeClellan's) army, and the ene my, commended by either Henry A. Wise or Bob Garoett(late of the United Sta'es Army) in person. It took place to the right of Buck bation. Our troops enpaged were almost en tirely OhFane, the Third and Fourth mefits that had gone out by the way of Clarks burg. The citizen bringing the news h<-re ways he could nnt learn (at Clotksburg) whether Wise or Girnett commanded the diaunionisis, who retrea'ed as hastily as possible, with the loss of twentf-three killed, iwo huodred prisoners, and eeventy-oue horses, that Morris oaptured. On our vide not a man was'killed. The action took place on Sunday night. That is, very early Monday morning, I presume. Such is the aooouut of the affiur received here, as explained above. Our troops immediately after tbe fight coutinued the pursuit of the retreating euemy. We have news from aetos tbe country that General McCiellan expects to come up with the enemy at Laurel lliilta-mor row -tke4ih. A sonsivrable portion of Wise's force is posted there, and as that force will probably by that time be joined by the force the Unionists whipped on Sunday night near Buck binon, if Wise will veuture to fight anywhere, it will be there. He (Wise) will do his best to make bis men figh', if but because, after bis usual fashion, on his way out to this quarter he übused the Virginians who rau at Fhiiiipt recently, most shamefully for'poltroons and cowards, not once, but iu a dozen inproiuptu speeches. If his command therefore continues to run after he has selected his own ground for a battle, bis denunciations of his frienda enga ged at Fhillipi will come baek upon him, that be will be the laughing stock of the whole country. His total force is about 10,009, of whom but 3.000 miy fairly be called willing enemies of tbe S'ars and Stripes: as they are the VJl unteers He. brought with him up from Staunton. The rest are uearly all men drafted in the Valley, and thus seemingly forced into the service at the point of tbe bayonet. More than half of them are ;nhless Union men rather than Secessionist* heart. The force with which Gen. McUleiiau operates consists (I learn to-day on what I regard as good au thority) of 19,C00 men, in three divisions, under himself, Brigadier General Morris, of Ind., and Brigadier General Rozcnorantz, of Ohio. The latter is a West pointer, who grade uated at the bead of bis ciase, and 13 therefore a thoroughly educated and.competent soldier. All here are exceedingly anxious to hear of i to-morrow's expected work somewhere about ' Laurel Hill. General McClelbo, on leaviog ! Clarksburg with bis column, took the precau tion to prohibit any private despatches what- j ever from being sent by telegraph from that point, to prevent the onemy from by any ohauoe obtaining intelligence of bis movements, j Everywhere here there are parties doubtless in secret communication with Wise aod Garnett by express any of whom would carry to them, under whip and 6pur, whatever news of advan tage to them they might be able to pick up. This prohibition, of oours", operates to prevent i us here from promptly learning fail particulars of MoOlelUn's movemeuts. REVISION OF THE REVENUE LAWS.

Being in the circulation, it prvadea the whole bocy. and may barst out iu disease on any part r • it. No organ is free from iu attack#," nor is there one which it atay not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously caused by mercurial disease, low living, dis ordered or unhealthy food, impure air, filth and filthy habit#, the depressing vices, and, above all, by the venereal infection. What ever be its origin, it i# hereditary in th . con stitution, descending •' from parents to children unto the third and fourth generationindevd, it reems to be the rod *of Him who says, " I will visit the iniquities of the fathers upon their children." , Its cffecta commence by deposition from the biood of corrupt or ulceroua matter, which, in the lungs, liver, and internal organs, is termed tubercles; in the glands, swellings; and on the surface, eruptions or sores. This foul cor ruption, which genders in the blood, depresses the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu tions not only suffer from scrofulous com plaints, but theyhave far leas power to with stand the attacks of other diseases; conse quently, vust numbers perish by disorder# which, although not scrofulous in their nature, are still rendered fatal by this taint in the system. Most of the consumption which de cimates the human family has its origin directly in this scrofulous contamination; and many destructive diseases of the liver, kidneys, brain, and, indeed, of all the organs, arise from or are aggravated by the same cause. One quarter of all our people are scrofulous; their persons are invaded by this lurking in fection, and their health is undermined by it. To cleanse it, from the system we must renovate • the blood by an alterative medicine, and in vigorate it by healthy food and exercise. Such a medicine we supply in AYER'S Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla, the most effectual remedy which the medical skill of our times can devise for this every where prevailing and fatal malady. It is com bined from the most active remedial# that have been discovered for the expurgation of this foul disorder from the blood, and the rescue of the system from its destructive consequences. Hence it should l)e employed for the cure of not only scrofula, hut also those other affec tions which arise from it, such as EKUPCTVB and SKIN DISEASES, ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE. HOSE, or BBTSIVELAS, PIMPLUS, PRSTULBB, BLOTCHES, BLA INS and BOILS, TUMOBB, TETTER and SALT RHEUM, SCALD HEAD, RINGWORM, RHEUMATISM, SYPHILITIC AND MERCURIAL DIS EASES, Daorsr, DRSETIR.-A, DEBILITY, and, indeed, ALL COMPLAINT • > IN PROM VITIA TED OR IMPURE LLOOO. ihe popular belief in " impurity of the bloc '" founded in truth, for scrofula is a degeneration of the blood. The particular purpose and virtue of this Sarsapa rilla is to purify and regenerate this vital fluid, without which sound health is impossible in contaminated constitutions. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A FAMILY PHYBrC, are so composed that discaee within the range of their action can rarely withstand or evade them Their penetrating properties search, ar.d cleanse, and invigorate every portion of the human organ ism, correcting its diseased action, and restoring its healthy vitalities. As a conaequer.ee of these psoperties, the invalid who is bowed down with pain or physical debility is astonished to find his health or energy restored by a remedy at once so simple and inviting. Not only do they cure the every-day complaints of every body, but also many* formidable and dangerous diseases. The agent below named is pleased to furnish gratis my American Almanac, containing certificates of their cures and directions for their use in the following complaints: Costive tiers. Heartburn, Headache arisingfrom disordered Stomach, Nausea, Indigestion, Pain in and Morbid Inaction of the Boicels, Flatulency, Loss of Appe tite, Jaundice, and other kindred complaints, arising from a low state of the body or obstruction of its functions. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, FOB TUB BAFID CURB OR Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness, Cronp, Bronchitis, Incipient Cousump* tion, and for the relief of Patients in advanced stages ttf the disease. So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu merous are the cases of its cures, that almost every section of country abounds in persons pub licly known, who have been restored from alarming and even desperate diseases of the lungs by its use. When once tried, its superiority over every other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape observation, and where its virtues are known, the public no longeT hesitate what antidote to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections of the. pulmonary organs that are incident to our climate. While many inferior remedies thrust upon the community have failed and been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro duced cures too numerous and too reigprkable to be forgotten.
