FRESH MEDICINES
AND TOILET ARTICLES.
The Subscriber has the pleasure of announcing to
his friends and the public generally, that after much
delay trouble, and expense, owing to the war, and in
terruption of trade, he has procured a fresh supply of
Medicines, Toilets and other articles in his line, which
he has been unable to furnish for some time past.
He has to pay CASH for all he buys, and hopes that
such of his patrons as do not pay promptly, will take
the hint, and that all in arrears, who have not gone to
the seat of war to fight for our independence and
dearest interests, will pay up their arrearages or a part
at least, so that he may be able to meet pressing de
mands, and keep his Stock replenished.
.flgr-AU orders from the country (unless lrom
prompt and reliable parties,) will go unnoticed, if not
accompanied with the CASH or its equivalent.

THE PIKETON AFFAIR.
The Louisville Courier, on the authority of two
gentlemen, who were present, gives the following
particulars of the fight, which the Yankees her
alded as a great victory :

represented as having been awful. The dead men

killed and wounded ran in streams into the rivir,
and in the panic and fright many of the Hessians
were crowded off the perpendicular bank and fell
into the water.
Gen. Bull Nelson intended to surround and
cut off Col. Williams, as he despatched be tuid
done, but nis plans msed. He divided his forced
into two column?, one of which was to march on "
Piketon by way of the Sandy, and the other up ,
John's Creek. The fight took place at Gaulev

Capt. May had with him, all told, only 260
men, who were taken from the several companies
of Col. Williams' command. The force of the
Hesaians it was supposed amounted to 1,500 to
3,000, wi li one battery of artillery.
Messrs. Richards and Grimes assure us that
there could not have been less than 400 to 500 of
the Yankees killed and 150 wounded in iHa flo-ht

told. The fire was kept up for nearly an hour,
and so earnest and determined were our men, that
it was exceedingly difficult to cause them to obey
the order, of retreat, although they knew the
Yankees were attempting to cut them off by a
tiauk movement.
Peach Leaf Ykast. Hops cost $2 per j.ound,
leaves cost nothing, and peach leaves make better ;
yeast than hups. Make it thus : Take three large
peach leaves and three medium sized, potatoes,
boil them in two quarts of water until the pota
toes are done; take out the leaves and throw them
away, peehthe potatoes, and rub them up with
a pint of flour, adding cool water sufficient to
make a paste, then pour on the hot peach leaf tea,
and scald tor about 5 minutes. If you add to this
a little old yftist, it will be ready for use in three .
hours. If you add none, it will require to stand
a day and night oefore use. Leaves dried in the
shade are as good as fresh ones. As this is strong
er than hop yeast, loss should be used in . making
up the dough.
Commissary Genera) Whitaker, of Georgia,
has seized in that State during the past week 1,540
sacks of salt, for which he paid a heretofore di
