the approach of the epidemic by a

in some instances the application

In the Fifth Ward the epidemic
has seized upon a few distingaish

and if it should carry them off we
will with great pleasure record the
incidents connected with their de

Convivial Clayton, the Kinky

the Hilarious Honzey, and Patriot

unexpectedly. To these Loyal

mend a perusal of the story of the

a trap to catch a bear, and was

"We notice that in Districts em

therein being . strong in the belief
that the war is altogether lovely,
and its head and front chief among

Quite the contrary. indeed, we
have heard Republicans proclaim
the draft as an abominable
nuisance, an outrage, and an usur

teir The New York Times, a
leading Republican paper, is out
against the proposed amendment
to the Constitution abolishing
slavery. It has got on decidedly

TERRORS OF THE DRAFT.—Goyernor
Brough, of Ohio, in his late message,
states this startling fact, illustrating
the terrors of the draft in that State
"It 'is estimated that the number of
mon who fled from this State as the
recent draft approached and during
its execution, exceeded twenty thou

emigration gone that in some cases
there were not mere enough left in
the townships to fill the quotas."
FROM SHERMAN
Sherman has had lately two severe
battles with the enemy in North
Carolina. One of the battles was
foue:ht near Averyshorol, and the oth
es at Bentonville. Our loss at the
former is said to have been between
3,0('0 and 4,000, while that of the en=
emy scarcely that many hundred.—
Of the losses at Bentonville no fig
ures are given. The following are
the particulars of both battles as far
as received :
General Sherman appears to have
aimed at the capture of both Raleigh
and Goldsboro. The. Confederates,
however, have made a defense of Ra
leigh ; chocked Sherman's march in
that direction, and compelled him to
turn eastward. Wlien Sherman left
Fayetteville.. his commemd was divid
ed into three columns. He left Fay
etteville on March 14. The western
column marched northward along
the Cape Fear River towards Raleigh.
The centre marched northeast to
wards Bentonsvillc with the inten
tion of capturing tile railroad bridge
near there on whiciti the Raleigh and
Goldsboro railroad crosses the Neuse.
The eastern column, believed to be
composed principally of cavalry, in
clined further to the east and march
ed towards the Wilmington and Wel
don railroad, south of Goldsboro.—
Schofield with his largo army at
Kinston, was ordered on March 14 to
move west towards Goldsboro, and
General Terry, with all the troops at.
Wilmington, together with the rein
forcements that had arrived there
during the past two weeks, was or
dered to march northward along the
Wilmington and Weldon railroad, to
wards Goldsboro, eighty miles dis
tant.
The Confederates prepared for
these movements and on March 16th
stationed - all their' available troops
at Averysboro, on the Cape Fear riv
er, thirty five miles south of Raleigh,
directly in the way of Sherman's
western column, which was advancing
northward from Fayetteville toward
Raleigh. Here, on March 16, was
fought the severe contest, of Averys
boro. The Confederates were in
trenched on the eastern side of Cape
Fear river. Hardee commanded.—
The fighting began on the 15th, and
skirmishing was earried.on during all
that afternoon and night but the bat
tle did not beginunti4thellSth. The
fighting was desperate. Bragg com
manded the western .flank,of the Con
federate line. Sherman made re
peated assaultis upon the Confeder
ate position, and each, time was re
pulsed. At dark on :the 16th' the,
Confederates held their position.—
Sherman, on the 17th, turned to the
eastward, and the column marched
to Ben tonsvil le, twenty miles distant,
to join the Federal centre.
As soon as the Confederates dis-
covered that Sherman . had turned
aside, they abandoned their camp at
Averysboro, and began to march east
ward also. Both the Federal and
Confederate armies wire moving to
wards Bentonsville. On March 19th,
the Federal centre reached that place
and was soon reinforced by the west•
ern column from Averysboro. Bragg
and Hardee also arrived and rein
forced Johnston, and at four in the
afternoon Sherman's. tamp was as
saulted, and he was driven back a
mile, several hundred prisoners being
captured. Here he intrenched him
self and lay all night. On the morn
ing of the 20th the contest was re
newed, but after brisk artillery fir
ing, the battle lulled, No assaults
were made by either army, and both
lay on their arms on the night of the
20th. The neighborhood of Bentons-
vine will be the sent's, no doubt, of a
fierce conflict.
On March 19th, the Confederates
evacuated Goldsboro', removing all
their 'items and property. They
marched up the Nouse and halted in
tho rear of Bentonsville, which is
twenty miles west of kinSton. On
March 21st, the Confeilerates had all

Sudden activity is shown at Peters

burg and on the outer lire of the Fed=
oral defenses in• that quarter. ` They
;are garrisoned by General Parke's
Ninth corps. ' Each fort stands upon
thc - crest of a hill:• 'l3efore daylight
on Saturday the Confederates ad
vanced in- strong 'force- from Peters
burg, and 'marched against a portion
of the 'Federal fine east of Fort Stead
man and 'at the foot. of '4)ipe. 'hill on
which it stands. The line had been
very much weakened by detachments
sent to Hatcher's run and the Feder
al left. To drive it from the works
was easy-, and the Confederates hav
ing done so, turned to the westward,
and charged up the bill to Fort Stead
niari. The garrison was soon driven
out and the- guns in the fort were
turned upon the rest of the Federal
line. - General McLaughlin, die com
mander of Fort Steadman, was cap
tured. At the same time another
body of Confederates made, a charge
upon Fort Haskell. It was intended
merely as a movement to cover the
former operatioa, awit they soon with
drew.
Several attempts wore .nTatle ?to re
capture Fort • Steadvam These be
ing unsuccessful, reinforcements were
from other parts of the. Fe
deral line. After several attempts the
Confederates were driven 'out, and
the fort was retaken. There was
brisk fighting all along, the line in
front of . Petersburg. At Hetcher's
run, General Humphrey's,. With the
Second corps, attacked the Corifeder-'
ates and captured aboutone hundred
prisoners. • This prevented them from
sending reinforcements from that
part of the line. Nearly three'thou
sand Confederate prisoners were cap
tured. The Federal loss is stated at
Height hundred. On Saturday eve
ning everything was quiet.
THE WAR SNEAKS.
There is no sort of men in all this
country whoought to be so thorough
ly despised by good soldiers as the
war sneaks. These creatures are the
meanest cowards, alive. They cry
out war but do not go. -They thirst
for blood, but shudder at thee-thought
of spilling one .drop of -their-own.—
They want the rebels exterminated,-
but won't help to exterminate them.
They are opposed to "compromising
with traitors," but afraid to fight
them. They are great -friends of the
soldiers, but never - go to help them
on the field of battle. They "support
the government," by stealing frotn it.
Tey believe that every citizen owes
its service, therefore they give ittheir
breath, but demand that all others
shall give their bodies. They heti
that it is our solemn •duty to carry
on the war as long as there is a, man
or a _dollaai left; but-their distyton
sista not in going 'themselves, bet in
damning everybody else who don't
go. They believe all Democrats trai
tors; and they would like to seo all of
them drafted and put in the army, be
cause the worst traitors alwa y s make
the best soldiers.
These are the views and the char
acteristics of the war sneaks—the
meanest, the most contemptible, the
most hypocritical, the most malig
nant, and the most- cowardly -urea
tures-alive; creatures for whom every
brave and manly soldier most feel
the utmost contempt.
It is hardly necessary to add what
is well known to all that the war
sneaks are unanimous and enthusias
tic in their support of Lincoln.—Ex.
INCREASE or PAY.—The. Legisla
ture of our State, before their adjourn
ment, passed a bill to increase the pay
-of members to $lOOO each, being an
advance of 300 on the pay of last
year, So much for the retrench
ment and reform about which we
heard so much previouslo the advent
of the present party to power. But,
as long as the people can be gulled
by their promises, which are only
made to be broken, just sorlong will
the tax-payers be plundered withim
punity. The Abolitionists seek office
tor the purpose of enriching them
selves at the expense of the people,
and. the Wonder is that'the members
did not make their pay, $2OOO while
they were at it. They will do , this
next year, mark our -predietion--if
sustained at the ballot box in Oeto
ber.—Reading- Gazette,.
pfir During the . recent .freshet

TERRIBLE RAILROAD ACCIDENT-BREAK

on the Central Railroad of New Jer

over it. The engine and the whole
train went down into the creek and
the lowlands, a distance of about 75
feet, smashing everything 'to pieces
and instantly killing four men—all
the bands on the train.
An iron train was following close
ly in
_the rear of the coal train, and as
no person was left to warn it of 'the
danger, the condition of things at
the bridge was not known by the en-
gineer thereof, tidal 'too late to atop

the guff. The engineer, Mr. Hiram
Paimeir, remained at his post and as
his engi ne bounded over the embank

n One of the Abtaition pacers,
apologising for Ben Butler, -offsets
his failures in terms by tnerits in oth
er respectt,'One wisteti tis that l'be
prevented The yellow feter from vis
iting New Orleans while he was
there." The Columtnis (Ohio) Crisis
says "this phenomenon can only be
explained on the ground that there
can not be two pestilences in the city
at the same time !"
RCTBING THE SOLDIERST--A letter
from the James River says that it has
just been discovered that the army
mails have been robbed of millions
of dollars in money land valuables.—
We ere not esipeciaillyblocid--Thirsty
in our dispositibn, but we would go
some distance to see tht wretches
who rob our ;army mail - bags pull
hemp. "Such rascalitirs make one re
gret that there is not severer pun
ishment for crime than hanging—and
even that can't be visited 'upon the
miscreants who rob our soldiers.

Vice President Johnson has made a
spirited commencement.

IRON IN HE BLOOD.
IT is well known to the medical profession that
IRON is the Vital Pe inciple or Life Element of the
blood. This is derived chiefly from the food we eat ;
but if the food is not properly digested, orif, from
any cause inhatever , the necessary quantity of iron is
not taken into the circulation,
or becomes reduced, the
whole system suffers. The bad blood will irritate the
heart, will clog up the lungs, will stupefy the brain,
will obstruct the liver, and will send its diseasepro•
ducing elements to all parts of the system, and every
one will suffer in whatever organs may be predisposed
to disease.
