"The Girard," Philadelphia.
We took occasion, in a late No. of the
ftiessenger, to allude in terms of deserved
I praise to this well-ordered and admirable,
thostQlry ,—certainly one of the very best ho
tels in the whole country. &d i ce writing
that notice, Mr. 11. W: KANAOA has become
its sole proprietor and manager, and has al
ready set on foot, or is projeaing, divers
improvements which will add materially to
the convenience of the establishment and
the comfort of his numerous guests. We
risk nothing in saying that under his exclu
sive control and superintendence, the high
reputation the House has heretofore enjoyed
will be even more than sustained. Our
readers who may visit the. Quaker city the
coming season could not find or desire a
more delightful home. By all means make
it your stopping-place. See card in another

Melancholy Occurrence.
On Saturday morning last, Mrs. He
s A. HEDGE, wife of ABSALOM HEDGE,
Esq., of this place was found drowned
in a large, deep spring in the yard near
the house.
The "Republican" gives the follow
ing account of the painful occurrence:—
About six o'clock in the morning, her
son, Samuel Hedge, on leaving the
house to attend to some business on the
street noticed his mother going out*the
baclE door of the houae. Thinking
nothing more about it, he went on his
errand, and returning in about 40 min
vtes, enquired for his mother and found
that she had not yet come in. Immedi
ate search was made with result as
stated above. She was in her bare
feet, and a quart measure being found
in the spring, the inference is that she
had gone hastily to the spring fir a
cup of water, and accidentally fell in. =
She . has a large family of children, and
their • father being absent, having a
'clerkship in one "of the Departments at
Harrisburg, added greatly to their dis
tress. She was an excellent woman,
and had been a worthy member of the
Baptist Church for many years and had
led a consistent Christian life.
The family have the heartfelt sympa
thiea.of the entire community in their
bereavement.

MIMES. kDITQRS :—At a time like the
present, when Republican leaders at home,
and Abolition officers in the army, are talk
ing and writing. So grandiloquently of the
great changes that have been wrought in po
litical sentiment among the rank and file,
°wasp. INFORMATION upon that topic may
not be unacceptable. This, I think, will be
especially so, when coming from a company
of Greene Countians who have participated
in as much, or more hard fighting, have suf
fered as much in life and limb, and have as
goad a record as any in the service. Such
Information I propose to give, and will be
responsible for it to the public.
The company to which I allude is "Com
pany A," of the 140th P. V. 1., which, many
of your readers doubtless recollect, started
from the county id August of 1862, before
the birth of Lincoln's Negro "Bull." When
organized, this company, like nearly all oth
ers from our county, contained a strong
Democratic elements. After its arrival in
Maryland, a vote was taken i r Congress
man, which revealed the fact to the Com
pany good two-thirds Democratic, and one
third Republican ; Gen. Lazear receiving 66
votes, Wallace 35. It has not only stood
by its principles then expressed, but has been
item*" gaining ground, as the hydra-head-
re 4 Abolition scheme revealed more and
more sf its hideous proportions. A "change
Isa r po me over the spirit of its dream," pro-
'duced, I apprehedd, by proclamations and
policies, depreciation in greenbacks and con
sequent suffering among the poorer cl,ssses,
litetiton's bad management of the war, and
last, but certainly not least, the abomi4ble
doctrines of "miscegenation." A correct
cinvaM of the company present far duty,

A Surprise.
On the evening of the 19th inst., the
subscriber was very unexpectedly to
himself, surrounded by a large circle of
the members of the Presbyterian Church
of Waynesburg, Pa , and other kind
hearted Ladies belonging to other
churches of the town, and was present
ed with a very liberal donation, con
sisting of a hat, literally filled with
Greenbacks, (all honor to that hat,—
may it never wear out,) and a pocket
book, well filled with the same kind of
materials The former through Col.
M. Du.r.,—the latter through Mr. GEO.
JEFFERY. The recipient of the above
gift, which he values most highly, not
only on account of its intrinsic worth,
but as a token of friendship, tenders to
the donors, composed of Members of
the Presbyterian Church, and other
kind citizens of the town, his most cor
dial thanks. God bless them and re
ward them a thousand fold, for such
kindness to one who hopes to recipro
cate their kind feelings by uniting every
one of them in Hy . nzen's bonds who are

WASHINGTON, April 20.--The follow
ing was received at the Navy Depart
ment to-day at noon :
CAIRO, April 19.—T0 Hon. Gideon
Welles, Secretary of the Navy: I have
received private letters from Red river
—one dated "Grand &ore, La., April
10th," and one dated "Alexandria,.
April 12th," stating that the army un
der Gen. Banks met with reverses on
the Bth, near Mansfield. Our army fell
back to Pleasant Hill, and next day the
rebels attacked: them and were hand
somely whipped. The loss is heavy ou
both sides: Tho Admiral, when last
heard from, was about forty miles above
Grand Ecore. The river was low..

CHICAGO, April, 23.. 7 -The Evening
Journal publishes extracts from private
letters from members of the Chicago
Mercantile Battery, dated April 12th,
to the effect that on the day after the re
cent disaster to the 13th army corps,
Gen. A. J. Smith, with the 19th army
corps, engaged the enemy and defeated
them, capturing 2,000 prisoners, and 20
cannon.
Another Account.
A member of of the Chicago Battery
writes : Our battery loaded with can
ister, commenced firing. We were on
the eft.' The rebels charged the left
of the line, and we had to fall back
about a mile. We stayed there for
over an hour, and then we were driven
back'again; Our guns were playing
the "devil's tattoo" on the rebel ranks.
We were charged three times, but
drove the rebs back every time. Final
' ly, owing to. superior numbers against
us, our forces had to retreat. •
Twehty-four Guns Lost.
Our Corps, the 13th; was all cut to
pieces, so we fell back to this place, five
or six miles from the battle field, to or
ganize. We brought our guns back
two miles from the field, and then had
to leave them, as the road was all block
ed up with the train. -We lost twenty
four pieces of artillery, all there were in
the fight. Our captain and two Lieu
tenants were captured. Lieut. George
Throop was mortally wounded, seven
men wounded and twenty-two missing.
General A. J. Smith came up the
next day and whipped the rebels, ta
king 2,000 prisoners and sixteen pieces
of artillery. He sent word to the Reb
el General .Price, saying he would fight
him all the way to Shreveport, and no;
take another prisoner. •
[Extract from another Private Latter.]
On Saturday the battle was continued
at Pleasant Hill, chiefly under the di
rection of A. J. Smith, who did prodi
gies of valor. We get all sorts of reports
from the front. The latest is that Smith
has whipped the rebels, taking two
thousand prisoners and eighteen pieces
of artillery. Our loss must have been
immense in the first day's fight. A
Mere handfid is left of our corps. The
expedition is no doubt broken up, and
our troops are falling back.
The Rebel Attack on Columbus--A
Demand for the Surrender—Rein-
tenements Arriving.
CAteo, April 13.—The rebel general,
Buford, sent a flag of truce, at seven
o'clock this morning, demanding the
surrender of Fort lialleok, at Columbia,
Kentucky the white Wail " 44 be
treated as prisoners of war, but ng pro
tection promised to the volorea tips
found in arms. Five hours were given
for theremoval of the lumber and chil

lough, also a battery. They *ere land
ed, and would doubtless materially
, change the calculations of the rebels,
i The steamer Olive Bianch, from New
I Orleans on the 6th-inst., has arrived;
and repots that fighting was going on at
i Fort Pillow, aq day yesterday, and up
to the time she passed there, when there
was cessation of hostilities.
Negotiations were pending, and a flag
of trace was visible. After passing, the
fighting was renewed, and the Federal
flag was seen to come down, but it was
believed to have been shot away, as
there seemed to be efforts made to raise
it again. Among the passengers by the
Olive Branch were Gen. Shipley, from
Louisiana, Capt. Miller, late acting
Mayor of New Orleans, and Capt.
Thompson, of the General's staff.
LATER
General Buford's demand was for
an unconditional surrender of Fort Pil
low. It was stated that if the fort was
surrendered the negroes would be re
turned to their masters but if forced to
take the place no quarter would be
shown them. Col. Lawrence, of the
34th New Jersey regiment, command
ing the post replied that iils Govern
ment had placed him there to defend
the fort, and that surrender was out of
the question.
Paducah advices up to noon to-day
report matters more quiet and the prob
abilities of an attack are greatly lessened.
General l3rayman has sent adequate re
inforcements both to Columbes and Pa
ducah and no fears are entertained by
the military authorities for the safety of
either place. Passengers fr,,m below
report that Forrest recently crossed the
Cold Water river near Jackson going
South with 3000 horses and 1,900 wag
ons,but this is doubtless an exaggeration.
The Facts about the Massacre at Fort
Pillow.
A Memphis correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, writing under
date of 14th inst.,. gives the following
facts in relation to the fight at Fort Pil
low : The fight commenced Tuesday
morning about six o'clock. The rebels
went in under a flag of truce, for the
purpose, it is supposed, of demanding
the surrender of the fort, and while the
flag of truce was still in the fort, the
rebels were drawing their lines around
the doomed oarrison, and even before
the flag had . got out the desperate
struggle commenced. Major Booth,
the officer in command, issued an order
to his men that he would never surren
der while there was one of them left.—
Re fell dead at the first or second
charge, but his invincible determination
to conquer or die had . been communi
cated to his little bawl, and they kept
the fearful trust committed to them by
their dead commander with heroic and ,
unfaltering fidelity. After a desperate
fight of nearly eight hours' duration,
and when they had nearly all been ei
ther killed, wounded or taken prisoner,
they finally gathered what was left in
a little knot at the foot of the pole from
the top of which the flag of their coun
try was still flying, and there made
their last heroic struggle for victory or
the grave.
But they were overpowered by num
bers, and forced to yield ; the flag was
hauled down by a traitor's hand'', and
the fight was over; but no nobler sacri 7
fice was ever made, and the cause for
which a million of men are now under
arms to maintain and defend was never
illustrated with better blood than that
which stains the rugged and now his
toric hill sides of Fort Pillow. I tried
to ascertain the number killed and
wounded, but amid .the confusion
which prevailed, it was possible to get
but little accurate information. The
rebel General Chalmers held possession
of the fort, and I saw him comfortably
seated in the ladies' cabin of the Platte
Valley.
It is supposed that Forrest did the
fighting the day before, and that Chal
mers was 4eft in command to hold the
fort, and cover the retreat of Forrest;
with the plunder and prisoners he had •
taken—though this was mere specula
tion, it is probably true. Rebel sol
diers were scattered over the hill-sides
gathering up muskets, haversacks,
knapsacks and everything of any value
that could be carried off, and insulting
with their rough and malignant jeers,
the gunboat crew engaged in burying
the dead. This was accomplished as
fast as possible,
but a great many were
still scattered about the hill-side, and
some near the water's edge when we
left them at 2 o'clock, r.
The negro soldiers, of which there
were some two hundred, seem to have
been slaughtered indiscriminately ; only
three or tour living had been - found
when we left ; and it was the opinion of
the gunboat officers, that no quarters
had been shown them. I conversed with
one wounded soldier on the Platte Val
ley, who told me that he was shot
twice, after he had thrown down his
musker, thrown up his hauls and ask
ed them for God's sake not to shoot him.
The wound in his breast. which will
probably prove mortal, he received af
ter he was wounded and had surrender
led. While looking at the poor fellow,
I thought what a ridiculous and cruel
lie, was the talk of rebel chivalry and
generosity.
Everything in and around Fort Pil
low,
that could not be .carried off was
destroyed. No private property was
respected, and the citizens there were
plundered of all they possessed, indis
criminately; all the cabins were burned,
the cotton stored on the banks,. for
shipment, was burned. A great many
refugees were scattered along the river
bank, just above the fort, whom the l
captains of the gunboats said they
IvonlEl gather up and protect, as soon
as they had finished burying the dead.
They gave us strict orders not to land
any where until we got to Memphis.—
Forrest had a force estimated at 6,000
men. The garrison at the fort number
ed about 51)Q effeetive Awry NO of
whom were killed and wounded: The
rebel loss was not known, but was sup

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THESE DISEASES
very frequently 1 There is the. secret—solitary self
abuse, practiced by thousands. Commenced when
boys, at school or elsewhere, it is kept up even during
young manhood, producing mental anti physical pros
tration. If continued, these diseases, and even mad
ness are the result. If the victim be conscious of the
cause of his decay, and quit it, he suffers upder those
terrible nocturnal and involuntary emissions which
weaken and shame him, till life becomes grievous.—
Thus place between certain decay and preinatur e
death and horrible shircring, the wretched victim rush
es to ;SELF- DESTRUCTION, or einks to an untimely
grave. If he emancipates' himself before the practise
has Mine Its worst and enters matrimony, his marriage
is unfruitful, and his set.se tells him that this is caused
by his early follies.
SUFFERING YOUNG MEN,
Let no false modesty prevent you front explaining
your case to one whose acknowledged position in the

of which renders a tuantiuly misemb'e. (Mine to lir.

From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor q p

Although not disposed to favor or reyOnweend Phlnht
m,dicinee in general, through distrust of their ingredi
ents and effects; I yet know of no sufficient reasons
why a man may not testify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received front any simple preparation,
in the hope that he may thou contribute to the benefit
of others.
I do tibia the more readily in regard to Iloofiandhi
Gentian Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M Jackson, of thin
city, because I was prejudiced against them for many
years, under the impression that they were chiefly an
alcoholic mixture. lam indebted to my friend, Robert
aßlioemaker, Esq., I'm the removal if this prejudice by
proper tests, and for encouragement to try Mein, when
suffering from great and long continued debility. The
use of three bottles of these Maim, at the beginning of
the present year, was followed by evident relief, and
restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor
which I had not felt for six months before, and had
almost despaired of regaining. I therefere Minsk Mod
and my friLnd for directing me to the use of them.
