Cereslina is a new article of food and diet, prepared by
novel processes, and obtained from wheat that has been
depriired of its bran, or otter coaling, before being
around.
Cerealina contains far more nutriment, weight for
weight, than any of the products of wheat heretofore
known, and le &bet agreeable to the taste.
Cerealina contains what is nearly or altogether ab
sent from the various flours, farina, inaizena, corn-
starch, dm., now in the market,but what is of incalcula
ble importance not merely to the lover of luxury, but
also to the lover of health—viz: the invaluaGle dials
tile element Ctreatina.
This consideration is of immense Interest to the fee
ble, the dyspeptic, the sedentary--especially to those
riloon whom is repoeetl the responsibility of roaring the
young — and to all who being ill wish to be well, or who
being well wish to retain their health.
Cerealina nay be bristly characterized as the purest
and t kaneaf product of wheat that can possibly be sup
plied, containing an increased proportion of the great
sources of nourishment and strength, gluten and the
phosphates, and above all, as the only preparation
known wherein ,YettureB Oton digest - Ste agent, the Bel
v.nt indlapensabla to easy and healthy digestion in the
stomach, the newly discovered principle Cerealina, is
Incorporated and placed on Its speolality and merits Ms
linctively before the public.
Cerealina may be prepared in the same manner as
farina, matzens, corn starch, rice flour, arrow root,
dm., with the Important, economical, and healthful
difference that a smaller quantity of Cerealina is re
qnired, and tie beneficial result is greatly superior.
As Cerealina contains in a more palatable form all
the wholesome ingredients that render bran bread use
ful, While it is free from those. particles that in bran
bread only irritate the stomach, it is to be preferred,
either as rolls or cakes, whenever bran bread is need
from choice or necessity.
Physiciane everywhere recommend Defeating; and
we Could add the names of thouiands who are now
ttsiag it, and bear testimony to its merits; but "the
proof of the pudding is in the eating:" and to the . grati
fied palates and ameliorated digestive functions of all
who tom aerealina, we leave the farther confirmation
of these assertions.

-
tiered Cbambersburg to be Burned—
The Battles at Old Town and New
Creek—Early in Fun Retreat to Rich
mond with Immense Spoils.
Since the raiders have retreated, a res.ume of all
the facts concerning their strength, intentions and
operations Is of some Interest--en interest height
ened by the Beaming mystery that surrounded them
and their acts. There was really no mystery, al
though most people thought se. It was due entirely
to contradictory despatches, the writers of which
took but little care to verify their statements. A.
correspondent glves the subjoined detailed account
of the movements of Early, from his advance to
Martinsburg to his retreat to Winchester. He says :
General Early has been so snccessful in getting
his own officers and men and rebel - sympathizers to
spread exaggerated reports of the strength•of his
and his probable intentions, that It is • now
almost impossible to make the people believe that
the fortis which has been operating-in this section' of
' country is less than thirty thousand strong. No one
that I can find saw such a force ; but they all seem
confident that it must be so. In order to disprove
such stories I propose to go into an account of Early's
movements, together with the strength and organi
ration of his army. ,
Early's , first movement was to relieve Lynchburg.
In this he succeeded. He was then ordered by
General Lee to drive Hunter out of the valley. This
be also partially accomplished' by forcing- Hunter .
across it to the mountains in the west. Finding .
how easy it would be to keep up a show of pursutug
Bunter, and at he same time be moving dowmthe
valley to raid on t the Baltimore. an Chtolffillioad,
and capture the stores that had been prevented from
reaching the Union arniy while at Staunton, lie
proposed this, his plan, to the authorities, and they
accepted it. Early moved accordingly. On reach
lug Martinsburg he was surprised to find> the small
nurober of men -left to guard the railroad line- and,
defend Baltimore - and Washington. All kinds of
inducements were held out to him to attaisi Ballti
more, and he was in constant communication with
rebel sympathizers within our lines. To learn the
truth of the statements he had heard, Early resolved
OD a reconnoissance. But before doing this,
he sent
out small parties of troops to scout and gather
• up . horses in all direetlons, and spread reports of his
being thirty thousand strong, with the probability
ol receiving heavy reinforcements. The rebel sym
pathizers took up what the soldiers said, and thus
exaggerated reports were put in circulation and
kept there. In all instances,Early's detachmente
made it a particular point to boast of the strength
of his army. While Early was to be off on a recon
noissance towards Baltimore and Washington, a
I orce was - lett behind to gather supplies and make
use of all means of transportation.
The advance on Baltimore and Washington was
next made, with what result the reader already
knows. On his return to the Valley he gathered in
all his supplies, and got the greater portion of them
safely oil to Staunton, from which point some of
thee/ wer° sent to Richmond. At this time General
Early reported his successes to General
- Lee, who,
finding he Sail got along so well, ordered trim to re
main in Ihe Valley, gather supplies, particularly to
destroy the railroad from Harper's Ferry to North
Mountain station, and be active In threatening the
Union lines at different points, with a view to draw
ing off troops from General Grant to defend the
' border, Lee's particular object being, -if possible,
to raise the siege of Petersburg. He thereupon
made another advance, taking the
. strecauticie,
before he did so, to again get out the report
that he had thirty thousand troops, and expected
heavy reinforcements. After this followed General
[hook's retreat. On again reaching the railroad
Early established communication with sympathizers
within our lines, who regularly communicated to,
bins the whereabouts of our forces and their num
hers. It was thus he was subsequently enabled to
make the invasion of Pennsylvania that he did.
While he kept out small parties to spread false re
ports of his strength and 'intended-Movements, pick
up horses, and glean information,
be at the same
time went into the wheat•threshing business on an
extensive scale. He also set men to work to destroy
the railroad, by-not only warping the. rails and
burning the tles,but also by blowing up the culverts,
and actually using artillery to knock down the stone
piers of an extensive bridge. In regard to his
threshing wheat, he was much facilitated in this
way : A Dl r. Fitch, of Pennsylvania, owned a large
establishment for the manufacture of threshing
machines at Martinsburg. When the rebels occu
pied Iderttnaburg they captured twenty-eve of these
Mitehlisee, which were immediately distributed
among the division commissaries of the 'army.
These commissaries gave them out to other eons
miesaries, and thus a perfect system for threshing
wheat was soon Inaugurated. The threshed wheat
was conveyed to mills pressed for this work, and
ground fur transportation and the use of the army.
As soon as ready the ground wheat was sent up the
valley, supposed to ye tO• Staunton. During this
Mae the rebels lived well, and generally este essed
it as their firm belief that raiding'was% really good
thing. How long. General Early would he con
tinued a thresher of wheat gather w
er than a thresher of
men, it is hard to tell ; but , certain it-is that, after
we had made some outrageous blunders in Our
movements, some wise head (supposed to be Gene
ral Grant's) Instituted a method of proceeding which
summarily relieved us of the rebel horse.thieres
and grain gatherers, and caused the Horse. and
Grain General Early, to turn his attention once
more to his flank, and* rear, and the sacral soli, of
Virginia.
His last ratd--ipted gaaesatiJkonded-to,
give battle to our army" tiet - loWard. a renewal of
the capture of property auk fhb 'securing of hostages
and more money. Hence, when, Early heard of our
counter movement, he made a tetreat, that but too
gratifyingly relieved us of his presence, and the ex
amples of his "honest" companions. •
Just before leaving Williamsport General Early
made some public remarks in regard to the bunting
of Obatubersburg which are of interest. He said
that he ordered $lOO,OOO in gold to be demanded - of
the town, and ttutt it the demand was not complied
within threi hours the townwas to be burned ; that
* the sum of money demanded was Intended to reim
burse Andrew Hunter, Win. Lucas, Edmund J.
Lee, and lion. Alex. R. • Boteler for their losses
caused in the destruction of their property by order ,
of Gen. Hunter, and that he felt per rectl y instilled in
the coulee he had pursued- He explained how Gene
ral Hunter bad burned the house of his (Hunter's)
cousin, in Jefferson county, Virginia, and taken
that cousin (Andrew Hunter) oft as prisoner, and
raid that the net was a brutal one, because the in
mates of the house were• not allowed time to save
even a portion of their clothing. In concluding, he
said it would be the future policy of thd rebel Go.
Torment to retaliate in the severest manner for all
barbarities practiced against them. He delivered
these remarks in &calm, firm manner. In a private
conversation he said that no man more than him
self deprecated the necessity of such an act as the
one committed at Chambersburg, but that he sane-
Coned it, believing he was only doing his duty to
those people who had suffered by General Hunter's
orders ; and, again, because he believed that by re
taliation such barbatous practices would be sooner
discontinued than in any other way. He was par
ticularly severe on General Hunter, and said that,
should he fall a prisoner into their , hands, his lot
would be a hard one. . .... .
THE FIRE EXPEDITION ORDER IrOAHVIAND—THE
EIOVENENTS AFTER TER CONFLAGRATION OP
CHANDERSEEEO.
Atter the burning of Chambersburg, art is known,
McCausland gathered his Woes and moved hastily
to IticConnellsburg, and thence directly south by
the main 'Hancock road. Oa tbe Way he was
joined by Bradley Johnson's brigade. At Haneock
this force expected to be able to cross the river.
Averill s however, was in hot pursuit, and so closely
pressed them that they were defeated in their plans
and obliged to search for a crossing at another point.
Our cavalry, exhausted by the hard service to which
they were subjected, held up for a few - days' rest.
Meanwhile the enemy moved northwesterly until
they struck the Seaford and Cumberiandroad, thence
advanced towards Cumberland and took up a posi
tion at a cross-road near Fulcra Mille, three miles
north of the town. • Hearing of the approach of the
enemy, Gen. Kelley, leaving a garrison In the town,
advanced with a portion of his roue and came upon
the enemy by surprise. The action opened by 10
o'clock on the morning of August 1, and continued
the entire day, artillery. being principally used.
The same night the enemy decamped. From Foick's
Wills McCausland directed his steps in a soatheast
erly direction towards Greenspring. - .
On the evening of the 2d he made his appearance
at Oldtown, on the Baltimore and 'Ohio Railroad.
The place was defended by a block-house, with a
guard commanded by Col. Stough.,, At 5 o'clock on
the morning of the succeeding action, the Wheeling
Intelligencer gives the following account:
The enemy appeared In force on our left flank, and
when they came within rifle, range, our men rose
and gave them a full volley, which emptled-seyeral
saddles: As the volley was fired, a fdll-breaated
Yankee "tiger" rent the air, arid the rebels fell
back in cent usion. Our men then fought them until
nine o'clock, when the enemy flanked them in:Over
whelming force, and Colonel Stough ordered them
to fall back across the river. This they did grade.
ally, in tine order, the men stopping occa s eionally to
empty their rifles .in the breasts-of the 'advancing
foe. Our - met, having crossed the Afars: were
posted behind the railroad embankment and
held the rebels - back' about ha f an hour..
hour.
The Iran-chid - train havingJeeen disahl could Ave
the infantry no assistenlcklEfrd the fi s isfeasiedilo
. deadly "that the larger portein of our men were or
dered to take the train and withdraw it to Cumber
land. Captain Cross, supposing Colonel Stough to
be on board, pushed off, but the Colonel remained
with a squad and repaired to the blook-house la
which he had preriously placed -10 men, and helethe
block house for an:hour and a half, notwithstanding
the rebel shells were knotking it to pieces over their
heads, Colonel Steugh, at 11 o'clock, received the
following message by Bag of truce
" ATIGIIST 2, 18E4.
" To the Commander of the Forces in the fliock-house:
" You will surrender the blockhouse and your
force at once. If you do not, you will not receive
any terms. BRADLEY T. JOstrisow,
• "Brigadier General Confederate Forcee."
The Colonel requested to see the force, which he
discoVeredliad entirely surrounded him, and saw
one 24-pounder, one 12,pound howitzer, and four 3•
inch guns, 'in such position as to , knock the block
house into particles in five minutes, and, on con
sultieg with his men, returned an answer to the
effect that he would surrender only on thesecondi
tions 1
1. That he and his men shoual be immediately
paroled.
2. That private property should be reSpected.
3. That the men should retain canteens, haver
sacks, blankets, and rations ; and
4- That tie should have a hand-car with which to
transport his wounded men to _Cumberland.
These propositions were sent to General Bradley
T. JORDEOD, commanding a division of rebels, and
signed Colonel L.Stough, " =amender of squad
01 153d -Ohio," and they were immediately accepted
and respected. Colonel Stough had a lock of hair
taken on of Ids right temple by a rebel ball which
became twisted in it, leaving a bare spot the size of
et dime on scalp. He has also two bullet-holes

On August 3d the enemy struck the Potomac . at
meeting with no opposition,
monied to the south side, camping that night at
Springfield. The nest morning they moved toward
New Creek or Paddytolvn. Upon o the arrival of
McCausland at Springaeld,lithNealt-ent a despatch
to.the General, to the effect that Newtown was gar
risoned by a small force of our troops, numbering
about three hundred, and that he had blown up a
culvert on the railroad, which would prevent the
arrival of reinforcements. Acting upon this infor
mation, on the morning of August 4 McCausland set
his column in motion to attack the place. General
Kelley, however, being early apprised of the break
in the railroad, bad the culvert repaired, stator four

gives a long history of a sword, whioh was captured
from Major William Stubbs at Shiloh. It had been
presented to him by' his fellow.conductore on the
Chicago and Rook Island Railroad, an& boneari ap

the haves of a rebel lieutenant colonel, who was
token prisoner at Corinth by a private of the 10th
Missouri. The,private having no use tbr it gave it
to his lieutenant. After the faller Vicksburg the
original owner of the sword was exchanged, and the
Missouri-private, reading a list In a Chicago paper,,

that upon the sword. He wrote to the Major, who
answered in person, and the sword , was retie/med.

water In the basin having been let out in order to
enable the workmen to carry on the operation. The
catch of fish, which had established themselves in
the vessel, as in &reservoir, was exceedingly abun

of gold coins lbund in her. The circumstance has

manufacture of cutlery which, notwithstanding
many unfavorable circumstances, has made Tillers
the rival of Sheffield." There is nothing else in the
account beyond the usual- incense which from fre
quent repetition becomes very dull reading even to
the staunchest imperialists. We are told that, al
though the Emperor travelled with the "strictest
Incognito," and everything possible_ was done to
prevent anybody from taking notice of, him, yet that
the "enthusiasms of the populations" was Irrepres
sible, and "exploded" all along the road ; that tri

A REAHNISCF_NCE OF THE IRISH REBELLION.—
There is at present in the Carlow Union Work
house a man, named James Lawless, 103 years of
age, with a robust constitution and unimpaired
faculties. He was an insurgent commander in the
insurrection of 1798 and fought at the battles of
-Enniscorthy. New Ross, Vinegar Hill, Newton
harry, Rathdrum, Hacketstown, and Swords. Du
ring those engagements he was twice severely
wounded, the mark of a sabre out being still visible
on his faoe. Nineteen years afterwards he fought
-two duels--one with a military captain—and on both
occasions he wounded his antagonist, but he escaped
unhurt. At this period of life he was in comiort
able if net affluent circumstances, but family mis
fortunes have left him, poor, and friendless, to ter
minate a long and eventful life in a workhouse.—

OIL DISCOVERIES.— • 4 • 'oat speaking
of oil discoveries, says:' The requent important
discoveries of •oft• wells, and these yielding a large
quantity, will deubtleds add a=new stimulus to that
lucrative business, which has contributed so' much '
wealth to this city and' surroundings. Discoveries
have been made In places where. oil was never sus
pected to be, and it emanates in such large quanti
ties arid such refined quality, that we can easily make
large fortunes by putting the.welle in operation.
A recent dtscovery.was made4y Oept,. James Saint,
on his prenlises at - Sharpaliwrgh, iv a manner
truly extraordinary. The Vityttain observed one
day oil arising to the 'surfe- of the water,
near the edge, and in order_ to discover the
source of the precious substance prepared five
small basins, into -which the- oil flowed. In
six days, he took up from the bans four barrels of
oil, but the sudden rise of the river overflowing the
basins, operations wore suspended. The oil is repre
sented as very pure, of a deep reddish color, and
burns with great -brilliancy in its crude state.
Another discovery, it Is stated was made by Messrs.
Tack & Brother, of a rich well at a depth of about
four hundred feet from the surface, and the flow, la
so large that it is estimated at 300 barrels -per day :
This is very encouraging news for our stockholders.

England be adopted, that of tieing petroleum as a

A. Tornado at Point Lookout—Arrival of
Refugees.
A letter from Point' Lookout to the Baltimore
AMerican gives an interesting description of a storm
and its consequences. We give a few extracts :
A terrific whirlwind passed over the Point last
Saturday morning, deetroylog property amounting
to over $20,000, a large proportion of ft - belonging to
the Government. It commenced about half past
five A Iff.,-near the end of the old wharf, taking
in its course three large Government warehouses
containing quartermasters , and commissary , stores,
some or which were ' , destroyed. From this the
wind struck the
dead.horme of the Hammond
General Hospital, scarcely leaving enough of lei:et
her where the house stood to mark the- spot. In
the dead-house was a coffin containing, a body;
the coffin was demolished, and the body found some
rods from the building. The wind then:passed over
one of the wards of the hospital, striking and utterly
demolishing, in its course, wards Nos: 3 and 4 of the
Hammond General Hospital, which, at the time the
wind connhenced, was tilled with wounded and sick
Union eoldiars, who providentially escaped before
the wind struck the building, er t loss of life
would have been great, as of the wands, each contain
ing some seventy patients, scarcely a timber was
left of these building' Blanding. From these the
wind struck . the Catholic chapel and cottage
occupied by.the Sisters of Oharity, Its -- foundation
some eight or ten- feet to the front, depositing it
upon the sand. This building contained eight
rooms, and was over one hundred feet In length.
The whirlwind. then veered off toward the bay,
striking on the route a pine tree which was so strong
as to break its force. It now passed on the bay,
and was lost sight of on the water. When this
whirlwind was first discovered the utmost confusion
prevailed, men, women and children runitingtor
their lives., a large artion Clad in their night
clothes. ' The women and children were screaming,
and amid the noise and confusion it was impossible
to discover what all the disturbance meant. The
cracking of boards and timbers, the second of which,
so strong, resembling musketry, led many to think
that the rebels had broke loose and were firing on
the. town with muskets. Some of the inmates of
.the hospital, from the suddenness of the attack,
sunposed that the world was coming to an end. A,
man arid boy were 'fishing at the time near the,
wharf, and being unable to escape the fury,of the.
wind, were taken up and whirled some distance-to'
the ground, the -boy receiving .some severeinternal
leittries, from which it is expected he Will riot am
vive. The manwes, also severely bruised.
Some amusing incidents-took Tlaire during the •
progresi of the storm. One of the negro mirses st
tacked to ward 3, seek g the storm was on him, eeia
ed hold of a cedar tree: He was seen to go np some
distance In the air, And finally light safely on the
earth without Material injury. Some of the pa.
limits of the, hospital ran and commenced digging
•
holes on the• beach in the sand, in order to .cover
, theinsebree from Irani. During the storm.the .hats
and caps. out. of. MS sutler's establishment were
scattered in every direction Over the' town and Hos
pital grounds. Several personswho stoodsome die.
tance and saw it approach sayitwas a terrine sight,
the wind carrying boards, shingles, timber, trees, &e.
