Washington, county is a great place for sheep:
The hill-sides were dotted with wooly heads.

a: jolly time. We hope to meet them all

We visited the works in Pittsburg where
they.make the big cannon for,Unele Samuel,
and were astonished-0d icithfounded. The

Let Harper send an nittst out there, and he

we - see, in the papers the words "a fifteen

enormous engine of death. The vast number
of cannon in Various stages of completion,
the huge .machinery, the furnaces, the re
sistless lathes, the crowds of operatives, and
the bewildering din are extremely trying on

OXE - are gratified to learn
that the heavy mercantile firm of EysterW

idly under all eirournstancei. , This is an im
portant step in the 'right direction, -and --ine
hope -soon to hear of all' our business den
adopting it. While this system is but just
to the public, it must prove eminently ed-:
vantageous to reputable dealers such as EYs
ter & Brother who enforce' it. AS long ins
people will go from place to place and Niggle
ahout_the price of goals,: and merchants ac
commodate themselves to that system of deal
ing, theyi,must ave "asking" prices which
fair cus om pay, and'a lower schedulel of
rates to which they can fall-when cOnfiOnted
by the class who are never contented unless
they purchase for a few pennies below what
they deem the current price.,
' The great advantage of the one price h.'s
tem is that all customers are placed upon en
tireequality—the jockey and the-just dealer
pay the same, and customers can ever .'eel
as safe in sending a child or servant to slick
store,-as if he went nimself, for the price is
uniform to lag. We are glad that a house
enjoying the confidence of the people, as does,
that of Eyster & Brother, has led off in this
reform; and it-cannot fail to increase their
already immense business.

Holz. Jourr Baonou.—AmOng.lho, most
conspicuous of the many distinguished visi
tors in attendance at the Gettysburlm dedica
tion ceremomes iA was the Hon. Jnor Brough,
Governor el4ct Tf Ohio. He is a man of pon-,
.de.rous physical 'proportions and of the most
attr tctive sdcial qualities. Many tr our cit
izens were introduced to him andwere high
ly delighted with his jovial manners and
generous heartedness. Veil on so short
acquaintance it, is not difficult to Understar4
why his influence and success -in the, late
Ohio campaign were so remarkable.

been getting along very well so far, and I
hope it may continue during , our' impris.on
ment. The officers here appear to do, every
thing for our Comfort that is consistent with
their duty." All reports from Salsbury rep
resent that prisoners fare better there than
they do in. Richmoftd. We think that the
day of -their deliverance is not faridistant.

CROSSING THE' RAPIDAN RIVER.
Very Brisk Skirmiihing in Progress.
WAsnricaTor,. Nov. 27, 1863.
M. ode's army moved yesterday morning,
••
in th ee coluinhs, towards theßapidan. One
column crossed. at Culpeper Mine Ford, be
low Germania Ford ; another crossed at Ger
mania, Ford, and third' , at JacObs' Mills
bridge, a few.-miles above Germania. •
A pontoon' bridge was laid . about noon at
Germania Ford„' and a column crossed the
river without opposition. 6 ' -
Firing was
' inard . yesterday,..while the
army Was' croising from - the direction of the
lower ford, and which was suPpoied to be our

The latest advices, up to six o'clock- this
morning, from •Gbn. Wade, repOit, that the
whole-army is across the river, with its trains
encountering scarcely any opposition.
The Army of the 'Potomac' moved at an

TOE LATEST. INTELTAGENCE
WASIIINGTOX, Nov. ,27..—Accounts receiv
ed to-night froth the Army of the Potomac
say that.our - troops broke camp yesterday
morning, and marched toward the - R: ,'*an
river - in three columns.*
The right wing ; ' supported; - by the Sixth
Corps, was ordered• to cross at Jacob's Ford;
below' Raccoon Ford - ; the centre to cross at
Germania Ford, and the Fith Corps,-support
ed by the First; to cross at Culpeper Ford.
which is situated between Germania and
Ellis Ford. '
The centre column arrived at Germania
about noon, at. which' time only a small force
of the Georgia Cavalry were seen at the
other side of the Rapidan. '
The latest relialble inteligence is that Lee's
forces do not exceed. 50,Outf men. General
Ewell, if not dead, is at least relieved from
the, command of his corps, in consequence of
disability occasioned by the stump of his lee
having' broken out - afresh. He has been sac
ceeded by Gen. Early.
The Rebel cavalry is nominally 6000 strong
but is, much less. Early's Corps is fdrtitied
from a point near Rottman Run, south of
the Rapidan, following the crest of hills
westwardly, .where itconnects with General
-Hill's Corps, : which covers
,`the Rapidan and
and thence proceeding westwardly. •
The enemy's right flank, near the moun
tain, is protected - by' a line Of , works diverg
ing -from the river. defenses,' running south
and then southwest, resembling our own
ipo
sition at Gettysburg. n -
• Our grossing_ points, .therefore, were all
between the Rappahannock and the Rebel
position.
A portion of our' troops (reached the other
side of the Rapidan yesterday, and the re
mainder to day, together with the headquar
ters, which moved at 9 o'clock this Morning.
The enemy were diseovdred in force, but
contracted their lines and_felltack from the
river. No opposition was rnade toour cross
ing except atono a the. upper fords.
ihortly after nine olelock this morning
heavy cannomidingommeoced and continu
ed up to fire o'elocit this afternoon without
intermission, brit no' particulars .of the en
gagement have been received. at Washington.
'The firing was probably along both sides of
the plank road in front Of - Orange- Court
House, as this was;expected. to' be the battle-4
field: H I -
THE .LATEST.
Accounts of Meade's forward' movement.
up to Saturday morning have come to Wash
ington by special messenger. Gen. Gregg's
cavalry on the left herd a severe fight with
the rebel cavalry, and the hitter were driven
'back on their infantry. Gregg then fell
back on the Fifth Corps, ; who in turn drove
the rebel infantry back arid took position as
the left wing of Meade's army. The,Second
Corps. under Warren, drove the rebels be
yond Robertson's tavern, Fund formed as the
centre of our line. On Or right a division
of the Third Corps fOught a heavy body of
Ewell's Corps. The Third Division of the
/mil Corps is said to hale lost five hundred
men killed, wounded and prisoners. Gen.
French reporrnaving captured 900 rebels.
The troops on our Centre had no heavy fight
ing. On, Saturday it wa6 found that the en
emy -had retreated two miles. It is reported
that Lee has prevented Kilpatrick frompas
