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 articlesin 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.
A11 orders from the country (unless from
prompt and reliable parties,) will go unnoticed, if not
accompanied with the CASH or its equivalent.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, DFC. 18, 1861.
THE CAMPAIGN ON THE KANAWHA.
We find in the Bowling Green Courier the fol
lowing article which that paper extracts from the
Cincinnati Times. This testimony from the ene
my, of the efficiency of our operations on the
Kanawha, must, of course, be accepted as reliable
so far as it speaks in our favor : j
The second escape of Floyd from Western Vir
ginia, without even a battle, certainly should not
be very satisfactory to the Government His
forces were much less than EoBencraciV, and the
latter had ample time to cut off Floyd's retreat,
or at least force him. to battle. That it was not
done is one of the mysteries of the campaign
At a time when it was supposed that Western
Virginia was lree trora rebels, jloyd stole a
march upon Rosencranz, suddenly appearing upon
the opposite bank of the river, and throwing
balk into Rocencrsnz's camp. For several days
Floyd's cannon commanded the roads connecting
our camps, and cOt-off All transportation during
daylight.
The boldness of the movement wasenly equall
ed by the supineness which afflicted our side. The
taunts ot the rebels were submitted tp without
resistance. We were told, and 60 was the Gov
ernment, that Rosencranz was aware of Floyd's
advance that no resistance had been made because
Rosencranz wished him to advance, and that now
that Floyd was upon the Gauley, Rosencranz had
him just where be wanted him, and that in a few
days Floyd would be bagged. ' Then followed a
silence of several day?, and at last came the intel
ligence that Floyd and his whole force had es
caped, making a successful retreat to a point out
of reach of .our forces.
The announcement created no Utile astonish
ment, and as the facte connected .with the case
come to hand, they are far trom satisfactory.
It seems, that alter suffering a bombardment
of several days, General Rosencranz adopted a
plan to surround Floyd and cut on his retreat.
Three brigades, embracing a force superior in
numbers, were detailed for that purpose. Gen.
Benham was commanded to cross the river below
Floyd, while Cox and Schneclc were to cross
above, and blockade the only roads leading to the
South. Ai a given signal the three divisions were
to advance and give battle. Benham s brigade
crossed the river, and were in bivouac fi va days,
waning for orders to march. At last those orders
were received, and Benham advanced to the rebel'
camp. 9 gave tne signals agreed upon, and re
ceived answers from the other brigades that all
was right, yet when he reached the rebel camp he
found it freshly deserted. The other brigades had
failed in their movements, and Floyd, taking ad
vantage of that fact, retreated through the unob
structed road before him. It has since transpired
that but for a fortunate night's rest, ordered bv
Gen. Benham, his brigade would have been pre
cipitated upon Floyd's whole force, and. cut off
from all aid, might have been annihilated by su
perior numbers.
The result js just this": Floyd has escaped a sec
ond time, when he should have been captured.
As atUarnetax, he out-generaledGen. Rosencranz.
At the former he drew off his forces safely with a
small loss, while to-day Rosencranz's forces have
not recovered from the terrible forced marches
they were then subjected to. As we have before
remarked, our loss by disease, resulting from the
hardships of that occasion, is greater than that of
all the battles which have been foughtiu Western
V trginia. In this last expedition, Floyd certain
ly eluded what was proclaimed as a sure trap for
the destruction of his army.
buch are the unpleasant truths which come to
us from the Kanawha. We can but reiterate the
opinion heretofore expressed, that Gen. Rosen
cranz can bo superceded to advantage. We
should like to see a General in command of that
department who could at least prove a match for
Floyd.
The following receipts, says the Milledgeville
Union, have been furnished us for publication by
Mrs. Hansell, of Marietta a lady whose elegant
accomplishments and still in all the departments
of housewifery, will entitle her experience to
the highest consideration. They have come
in a good time, and will bo properly appreciated
by the country at large :
For Making Tallow Candles. For every
10 pounds of tallow, have 4 pounds of alum; dis
solve the alum in 2 gallons of hot water ; boil the
tallow first in elear water 2 hours. After it is
perfectly cold, cut the tallow out, scrape off all
the sediment Irom the bottom f the tallow, and
boil it in the alum water 2 or 3 hours, skimming
it well. After it becomes cold, again scrape off
all the sediment, which adheres to the bottom of
the tallow; and simmer until all the water is out
of the tallow, which may be known by any one
accustomed to boiling lard or tallow. After every
drop of water is out, it is then ready to mould.
To make the tallow still more firm, though not so
white, add 3 pounds of beeswax to every 10 pounds
of tallow, and boil it with the tallow in the alum
water. As the common candle wick is too large,
split the wick and put it in the moulds.
For Corning Beef or Pork. To one gallon
of water, take 1 J pounds of salt, half pound of
brown sugar, hall ounce of saltpetre ; in this ra
tio, the pickle to be increased to any quantity
desired. Let these be boiled until all the dirt from
the salt and sugar rises to the top and. is skimmed
off. Then throw the pickle into a large, clear
tub t cool, and rhen perfectly cold, pour it over
the meat, which must be in a tight barrel or box,
which will not leak. After there or four weeks
it is cured. The meat must be well covered with
the brine, Dy putting something neavy on it.
..The meat must not be put in the brine until it has
been killed at least two nay t, during which time
it must be spread out and lightly sprinkled with
saltpetre. Twenty gallons of water, ?0 peunds of
salt, 10 pounds of sugar and 10 ounces of saltpe
tre, will fill a barrel. The same brine can be
used a second time by boiling and skimming it
wen.

actually employed in hostile service against the
Government of the United States, frequently es
cape from the lines of the enemy's forces, and are
received within the lines of the Army of the Pov
mac. This Department understands that such
persons, afterwards coming into the ' city of
Washington, are liable to be arrested by the city
police, upon the presumption, arising from color,
that they are fugitives from service or labor.
By the fourth section of the act of Congress,
approved August 6, 161 entitled a actio, con
fiscate property used for, insarreetiphary par
poses," such hostile employmeif is made sv full
and sufficient answer to any further claim to ser
vice or labor. Persons thus employed, and es
caping, are received into military protection of
the United Stales, and their arrest as fugitives
from labor or service should be immediately fol
lowed by the military arrest of the parties mak
ing the seizure.

the Mayor of the "City of Washington and to the
Marshal of the District of Colombia, thai any
collision between the military and civil authori
ties may be avoided.
