One' witness swore that he had heard Allison say to his wife, while she lay in a helpless condition, that he felt like killing her and another swore that while passing Allison's home he heard the woman scream for mercy and saw the children run from the house as if badly frightened. ;- It seems that the alleged whipping occurred about a week or ten days ago and when the woman died three days later those who dressed v her for burial found bloody stripes ion ner body.

We have just been put through another campain, the results of which, though not what they might have been, are yet more fa vorable than those whioh attend ed our retreat from the Rappa hannock, To give a detailed account of our recent operations would re quire more paper and .time thin I can appropriate to that purpose; but for, the gratification of my numerous readers I will endeavor to give a few brief sketches and outlines, the remainder, which is of minor importance, can be sujp-! plied from imagination. " H About 2 o'clock last Friday morning, the Zith ult., we were quietly rouged4from our comfort able bunks and marched briskly in an easterly, direction some five miles, when we halted and proceed ed to throw up temporary breast works before the morning star ap peared above the horizon. The ground was frozen hard, ice was spouted up in wet places.our -noses blue, (at they felt so, we couldn't see, our ears frost-bitten, hands and feet benumbed, but none of it was taken into consideration ; a battle was expected at daylight and preparations must be made for it, I don't think I ever saw men work with such vim, and when day dawned the work was done, to be left half an hour afterwards just as we expected; well, all we could do was to hope that other poor rebels (devils) might be ben efitted by hem someday. At sunrise we again took up our line of march eastward, and after many halts we found ourselves, at 10 o'clock, a. m., in the vicinity of Locust Grove (I believe they call it) on the turnpike leading from Orange C. H'. to Fredersburg all in the vicinity of yaukees also, I may add ; none of your peaceable sort either, for no soon er were they apprised of our where abouts than they began pitching minnie balls into the trees around us and sending quatermaster hun ters (shells) away over us "the way Ward's ducks weut." Our first corps of sharp-shooters were sent forward who were soon hotly engaged and: called for reinforce ments ; the second corps were sent to their assistance, which, with the first, during the remainder-of the day, held the enemy at bay and thus prevented a geueral en gagement, though the fin was kept up with spirit ' etween the skirmishers until dark put a stop to it. While this was ging on in front, on our left Maj. Gen. John son was hard pressed and beset on all sides with bice bellies. Ordi narily the oldgentleman(Johnson) has his head swamped in a huge, black hat,andon this occasion eyes, thus enabling the yankees to get in his rear; be this as it may the general got his eyes open in time to fight his way out. During two hours battle raged furiously ; the woods injwhich we fought look like they had been visited by a young tornado. The enemy found they had caught a tartar and were glad enough to let him go. I have never heard a correct account of his loss, but the blow, he dealt the yankees was severe, many of their lay on the field unburied last Thursday morning. After the re - treat of the enemv and John- son's deliverance everything v bej came perfectly quiet alobg the lines. ! N ight had set in , at in- tervalsTir,picJket eould fire, but with that exception not a sound was heard save the monotonous rumbling of the ambulance over the uneven pike as they bore the wounded off the battle held to the hospitals in the rear.

Mr. Willson made the town an efficient, honest and fearless officer, " the best the tpwn has ever had. mgnt we (Kamseur s brigade) stood in the road 'two hundred yards in the rear of the battle line; the rebels had fled-to parts unknown, I haT no idea where they were gone, we could hear of none except the few around us and we had orders-to keep very quiet the enemy's scouts were prowling near, and at any moment a whole column of yankees might dash on us. Pres ently we began our march south ward, parallel to the enemy's line and but a few hundred yards "dis tant from it ; I could hardly call it marching, it was more like creeping, so mucb caution was necessary to prevent the least pos sible noise. The stillness was really painful it made us feel chilly. The men conversed in tones scarcely above a whisper or werf were awed ioto the most pro found silence; no rattling of tin cups or canteens was heard ; the brown oak leaves lay deep and dry through the woods, but we never set foot outside of the road, and when anything rustled among the bushes on our left every eye was turned in that direction and every soldier instinctively grasped his firelock. A dim, ghost-like light was spread over tho hills and fields, the effect of the densa clouds between us and the moon uearly full, and by this light we were enabled to pick our way with some degree of comfort And satis faction. In this manner we trav eled about one and a half miles, then falling in the turnpike we turned back towards Orange and on the west side of 'Mine Rnn formed line of battle 3 o'clock at Saturday morning. After the arms were stacked we lay down on the rocky hill side and slept soundly until after daylight, when we were awaked by sprinkles of rain fall ing in our face, assisted by the firing of musketry two or three hundred yards in our front. Upon looking round we discover ed the"van guard of the enemy de ployed on the hill side Opposite, shooting into our skirmishers with considerable vengeance. Theirain fell thicker and heavier and with it increased the firing between the skirmishers, who , were now within t two hundred yards of each other. We expected the enemy to advance with a rush, but they did not, still we did not know how soon they might and to i i mase ourselves more secure wefell back fifty yards further, to the foot of the hill on which we had' bivouaced the preceding night, screened by the underbrush iniront, we proceded to throw up earth works with all possible haste. . By noon the ram ceased, the clouds broke. Dartiallv cleared away, leaving the. air chill and frosty so that our frozen garments rattled like dry raw hides. After dark our sharpshooters were re lieved by fresh corps. Our boys who' came in were well nigh frozen ("gone up the spout' they said) and crouching round the pitifu Continued on last page.

Belletontaine, Ohio, Sept, 28 As the words that there was no God passed his lips, Amos Clark, forty- five years old, and apparently in good health up to that moment dropped dead. Clark, an atheist, was convers ing with a group of neighbors gathered in his front yard. He was talking of his disbelief, argu ing with members of his family.

Eddison, the great American inventor, says ' 'Fully eighty per cent, of the illness of mankind comes from eating im- jjroper food or to much food ; peo ple are inclined to over-indulge themselves." This is where indi- gestion finds its beginning in near ly evry case, lhe stomach can do iust so much work and no more, and when you overload it, ob when you eat the wrong kind of food, the digestive organs can not possibly do the work demand ed of them.. It is at such times that the stomach eeds help ; it demands help, and warns you by headaches, belching, sour stom ach, nausea and idiseitiou. You - should attend to this at once bv. taking something that will actual ly do the work for the stomach. Kodol will do this. It is a 'com bination of natural digestants and vegetable aoids and contains the same juices iound in a healthy stomach. It is plesant to take. It digests what you eat.
