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-

TO THE CITIZENS OF BEDFORD.
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.

The deceased was a consistent member of the
Eve. Luthert-n Church of Bedford, foi many years,
and always felt an interest in its welfare—always
ready to do what she could not otdy for its tempo
ral, but for its spiritual advancement. For many
years she had been a patient sufferer— the pains of
a distressing disease, rheumatism, was endured
without, murmuring—during a period of about six
weeks prior to her own sickness; she sat as a min
istering angel at the bed-side ot her husband, who
for a time, appeared to be upon the o>ntiues of the
eternal world—she left h> side, to lay upon a bed
of death. Alter a brief sickness, she fell asleep,
we trust, in Jesus. The loss to her husbend, child
ren and relatives, is her eternal gain.
Her funeral sermon will be preached on the I4th

o'clock.

Bedford. June 12, 1861. . I
' Scrofula, or King's Evil,'
is a cTastitutionel disease, a corruption of the
blood, by which this fluid become# vitiated,
v. t ak, and poor. 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.
