GayTii. Cuir I'onrnii Flood.?The flood which came upon us so suddenly on Sunday, and which is now receding as rap. idly as it came, towards Cairo and the Southern Confederacy, it called a pumpkin flood. Thcro fans not been such a flood at this season or th. year for twenty yetrt. Consequently, nobody anticipated it, and nobody prepared for it. The water crept op like a tbl.f in ,he nigljfi wound low places in the cornfields, and car tied away the shucks and the pumpkins, the squashes and the goanl., of which the' river was foil aU day Sunday. Every- i thing within thirty feet of the river, on Saturday night, was gone on Sunday morning. There is no estimating the im mense damage sustained all along the j river. For at least twenty-lour hours, the river was black with rafts, sawed timber coal flats, barges, and valuable property of ??very conceivable sort. Hundreds of en terprising men labored all day in their skiffs, and succecdcd in saving a great deal that is valuable. Often a raft or boat would pass, with only a singl,, pcraoa aboard-the owner, perhup,_?ho stuck Ilk. grim death to his "prop," ??d received heart, cheer, from those upon the shore who gloried in the spuuk. Somo of these persons floated ton nod fifteen miles before they could succeed in lauding their crafts or In gaining any assistance. The river dropped down yesterdny to tts usually rea. .?enable dimensions. < T,ie Pittsburg k Cleveland Railroad Company fell tonic alarm for tho bridge . over the Big Beaver, which was recently swept away and reconstructed. A heavy train of cars was loaded with pig metal and run upou the bridge and left standing. The weight of Ifae metal, It is supposed saved the bridge. BUflMaa or Lumbcr?The grent huge piles of lumber which passed down the r.vcr on Sunday last, were from tho shores or the Allegheny river. The destruction along that river was immense. Manj deal crs lost their whole years labor. The Pittsburg Gazelle, of yesterday, say8: The present, flood happened at an un usual season or the year, and was not an ticipated by many?hence the destruction pr?pm' waa greater thaff it might otherwise have been. Immense ?inutilities of lumber, including sawed tim ftom C'?-1 lmye bee" from the Allegheny river and its tributa ries, mostor which will be entirely lost to the ou ners. Among tho articles observed hurrying down with the current, were barns, sheds, out-bouses, sections of bridges, brokeu rafts, bundles or shingles and pine logs innumerable.

Rowan d, from the residence of Mrs. Lindsay, Union street. All of the Cavalry in Camp Carlile, with Col. Anis Assell ?t the bead, came over as an escort, accompanied by the excellent band attach ed to the Regiment, marched down to the MrLure House, and then marched back to the house of Mrs. Lindsay. Rev. Wesley Smith made the presentation speech, du ring which he defended the outspoken Union ministers and pitched into the mili tary authorities for making so many bluu ders. Capt. Rowand received the flag and in troduced E. M, Norton, United States Mar shal, who made a brief and stirring address. The cavalry then returned to camp. 9ST Dahuas.?''One of us" and several other men are under many obligations to Charley Barnard, who lives at the foot of the big bill between this and St. Clairs ville, for several beautiful boquets. Bar nard is a man of most excellent taste. He has a .splendid variety of Sowers and small fruit, which he is always delighted toshow his friends, and with which be never tires in decorating foe the delight of other peo ple on all public occasions. He Is also a fancier of birds, aod has a great flock of fau?tail pigeons, "white as the driven snow," which come at his call and tumble about at his bidding. In short, Barnard is altogether generous and unselfish, and is a man picked oat of five hundred. OQtSad Accibbvt.?On Sunday even ing last, as has been briefly announced, the body of James Anderson, an old and well known cithcea of Bridgeport, was found at the bottom of a hatchway in bis wholesale liquor honse. He is supposed to have fallen through the hatchway whilst partially intoxicated. He was qaite a wealthy man, and a batchelor and man/ of those who knew bim well speak highly of his koaesty. and integrity as a man.

Thousands of pumpkins were, carried away and taken down the river and thousands are lying in the mud and drift-wood along the banks of the creek. KtMecrana and the Rcbel?-The Situa tion or the Armies In the Gauley Region. "Agate," the correspondent of the Cin cinnati Gazelle, with Rosecrans, writes in that paper of yesterday, the "situation," as it is called, of onr army under Rose crans and Reynolds, and of the rebels under Wise, Flojd and Lee. lie says: What is called "the situation," then, is brieflytbis:" Floyd and Wise with forces known to be re-en forced up to an aggregate of at least ten thousand, and atLewisburg, or in its immediate vicinity,. and cannot be halt a day's march from direct railioad communication with Richmond. IjVehave advance post of Cox's and McCook's brig ades ou the Lewisburg pike watching them. Itoaecrans lies at Cross Lanes, and a por tion of the "brigade of the Kanawha" is still, guarding Gauley Bridge, which ba3 now become the base of operations instead of Clarksborg. In tbe Cheat Mountain region Reynolds continues to hold bis positions, and Lee continues to menace them. And over the whole country, exccpt immediately in those counties where Mie Union strength is overwhelming, the secessionists continue to carry on their guerrilla uarfur^, and to bold in terror a people that lack s>piril to defend themselves. One. would suppose that if the Ohio and Indiana troops keep ? out the invader* from Kastern Virginia, tbe boasted Union strength of the country might at least be able to protect itself from its internal foes, but even so moderate a hope is disappointed, and after we have driven off Garnett and Pegratn, Floyd and Wise, the people still beg that we will march here and uiari-h there, to protect them from an insolenL minority among themselves. Meanwhile, the inspiring vision of ad vances through Western Virginia on Stnun tou and down to Richmond, while Manas sas should be left to fall to pieces of its own weight; or of advances to Cumber laud Gnp, seizure of the Tennessee and Lynchburg Railroad, stopping Southern supplies and troops for Virginia, and relief for the Union men of Bast Tennessee, all fade away before the dull reality that the roads are becoming impassable/ and that j Gon. Rosecrans and his subordinates in- i stead of meditating bold moveracut3 to J warmer climates, are already talking of ? bunting up winter quarters in the neigh- j borhood of Charleston 1 We bad Western Virginia clear of rebel armies, we opened a gap to let them in, then fought Uiem, be hind their entrenchmeuts, on ground, of j their own selection, drove them out again, I and then stopped. That is the sum of our ! Western Virginia campaigning up to ,&)t?. ' AnH to accomplish"TtJ*we haWSHfept twenty to thirty thousand Ohio and Indiana.troops there, that have been imperatively needed nearer home. . . Tbe danger now is, that assured of the safety of their positions in the East, and confident -of their, ability to -ainuse our troops at the Gaps with a small fragment of their force, Lee may move tnu mala body of his army, (composed of fiTte(rrt 4o eighteen thousand men,) down to Staun ton, ruu it tbeuce by rati to East Tennes see, and suddenly drop in on us in South ern Kentucky, in junction with Zollicoffcr, in an advance on Lexington. Four days will put Lee's army at the Cumberland Gaps. Despairing of his ability to forco his way past Iteyuold's at the Cheat Moun tain Gaps, is there not at least a possibility that he may make this sudden rush for a prize so eagerly coveted as Kentucky ? Peusons afflicted with Fever and Ague should not spare either time, trouble ex pense, to procure Dr. Hostel ter*s Celebrated Bitters, whose bcnificent effects upon the system has been clearly proved to those who have been stricken down in a short space of time by this dreadful curse, whose cheeks are wan and meagre, and whose nights are sleepless and restless,and whose cys are dim and sunken, with death star ing them in the face, this compoand must prove a blessing; snntcbing them as it were from the mouth of the grave. None can know its true vdlno until they have tried it- When all others have failed, these bitters have restored tho sufferers to pris tine health. Their popularity in all the Western and Sonthern parts should intro duce them to all families.

CELBBKATED STOMACH BITTERS can , appeal with perfect confidence to physicians and cltl- ! sens generally of the United States, because tbe ! Article bu attained a reputation heretofore en known. A few facts upon this point will speak more powerfully than volume# of bare assertion or blazon lug puffery. The consumption of lloetetters Stom acts Bitters tor the last year amounted to over a half million bottles, and from its manifest steady increase In times past, it is evident that during the coming Kar the consumption will reach near one million ttles. This immeuse amount could never hare been sold but for the rare medicinal properties con tained in the preparation, and the sanction of the most prominent physicians in those sections of the country where the article is best known, vb? not only recommend tbe Bitters to their patient*, but are read/ a*, ail times to giro testimonials to its effi cacy ir, all ?aaes or stomachic derangements and the disc2*ea res ulting therefrom. This Is rot a temporary popularity, obtained by extraordinary efforts in the way of trumpeting the quality of ?bp Jlitters, but a solid estimation of an invaluable medicine, which is destined to be as en during as time itself! IIostetter*s Stomach Bitters haveprored a Godsend to regions where fever and ague and various other billions complaints have counted their victims by hundreds. To be able to state confidently that the "Bitters" are a certain cure for the Dyspepsia and like diseases, Is to the proprietors a source *>f un alloyed pleasure. 11 removes *11 morbid matter from the stomach, purifies the blood, and !? .ts re newed vitality to the nervous system, giving ttbai tone and energy indispensable for the restora ion ot health. It operate* upon the stomach, liver, and other digestive organs, mildly but powerfully, and soon restores them to a condition essential to the healthy discbarge of the functions of nature. Elderly persons may use the Bitters daily as per directions on the bottle, and they will find in it a stimulant peculiarly adapted to comfort declining years, as it is pleasant to the palate, invigorating to tbe bowels, excellent as a tonic, and rejuvenating generally. We have the evidence of thousands of aged men and women who have experienced the ben efit of nsing this preparation while suffering from stomach derangements and general debility; acting under the advice of physicians, they have abandoned nil deleterious drupe and fairly tested the merits ot this article. A few words to the gentler sex. There are certain periods when their cares are so harassing that many of them sink under the trial. The rela tion of mother and child is so absorbingly tender, that the mother, especially if she be young, Is apt to forget her owu health in her extreme anxiety for her infant. Should the period of maternity arrive dur ing the summer season, the wear of body and mind Is generally aggravated. Here, then, is a necessity for a stimulant to recuperate the energies of the system, and enable the mother to bear up under her oxhausting trials and responsibilities. Kurtiiug mothers generally prefer the Bitters to all other iu vigorators that receive the endorsement of physi cians, because it is agreeable to the taste as well as certain to give a permanent increase of bodily strength. All those persons, to whom we have particularly referred obove, to wit: sufferers from fever and ague, caused by malaria, diarrhoea, dysentery, indigeatlou, loss of appetite, and all disease* or derangements of the stomach, superannuated invalids, persons of sedentary occupation, and nursing mothers, will commit their own physical welfare by giving to Uos> tetter's Celebrated Stomach Bitters a trial. CAUTION*?We cantion the public against using any of the many imitations or counterfeits, but ask for Hostxter's Celkdratkd Stomach Bitters, and ?ee that each bottle ban the words "Dr. J. U'jstetter's Stomich Bitters" blown on tbe side of tbe bottle, and stamped on the metallic cap covering the cork, and ibserve that our autograph signature is on the label *a-l?repared aud sold by UOSTETTER k SMITH, Pittsburgh, Pa^ and sold by all druggists, grocers uid dealers generally throughout the United States, ??onth America and Germany. nov3-dawly Por sale by LAUOI1LINS * BUSHFIKLD, Aseuta, Wheeling, Va. ?^CERHAV^'^, Holland Bitters FOR I> Y SPEPSIA, Liver Complaint, Fever and Ague,&o.

"Smith's posi tion advanced to, and now occupy Falls Church. Neither this nor the preceding movements met with any opposition what ever, as the'ttbel army had on Friday night retreaU^L.from the whole line of their positions fronting Washington. Upton's Hill, thi3 side of Falls Church, is necessa rily included Among the points now held by the FedwM forces. The works of the enemy at tlifcTplace they had evacuated, were, in a military point of view, almost worthless, being nothing more than rifle pits of a very^eommon construction. The positions at Munson's and Murray's Hills, afforded, the rebels nearly an unob structed view?of all our fortifications and ? defences. Ttie^ap'pearancc of the ground deserted by to? rebels, indicated that they were deficienpln those arrangements which servejto maW|,a camp l?fe comfortable.? There ^ere no signs to show that they had ever n?piinted%iny guns. There are troops now so employed as to show that they do oof nierely intend temporarily to occupy their present positions. The advance: of Gen. Smith on Falls Church, fromjCtiain Bridge, was attended by events of |ro*inost deplorable charac ter. Having passed V.inderwecker's and Vanderberg's' bouses,' on their'way to the former place, and- when about a half mile from it. I?y some unaccountable blunder, Col. Owen's Philadelphia Irish Regiment, in the darkness of the night, mistaking for rebels Col. Mott's battery, which was in the advance, sustained by Gen. Baker's California Regiment, Col. Baxter's Phila delphia Fire Zouaves, and Col. Freedmiin's Cavalry, fired a full volley into the troop3 last named, killing and wounding a large number. The-California Regiment, not knowing whence the firing came, returned it with mnrked effect. The horse3 attach ed to Mott's battery became unmanageable, und the tougue3 of the caisons were bro ken, owing to the narrowness of the road. Lieut. Bryant, having command of the 1st section, ordered the guus to be loaded with grape and cannister, and soon had them in range to rake the supposed enemy, wheu word was sent that ho was in the com pany of friends. All was excitement, and a loug time elapsed before the actual con dition of affairs was ascertained and con fidence re-established. Many confused stories prevail as to the parlies on whom blame should rest. Zou aves wounded?Sergant Gray, Co^D, shot in the head; Benj. Flood, Co. D, shot in the head ; Lieut. Shreeves,.shot in the legs and head; Geo. Hargreave'a, Co. Ki shot in the leg. None of the wounds will pro bably prove fatal. Several others were killed and wounded. The killed were buried to-day, near their encampments, with military honors, while the wounded were removed to the hospitals at George town. They are receiviug the best atten tion. There are reports of others being killed, but no positive information has so far been obtained concerning them. Washington, Sept. 30.?An officer who witnessed the disaster on Sunday morning attending the advance of our troops to wards Fall's Church, suites that Burr's battery, of Cambell's Pennsylvania artil lery, was immediately in the rear of Mott's battery when the first firing commenced, the balls coming from the declivity of a bill. Dense woods being on each side of the road, tbey failed in their purpose, and these batteries escaped injury. About half an hour afterward another panic happen Tgg; were oiMJtfh'f# fire in the rear. They had wready loaded their artillery,.-But being aware that their friends were in that position, refused to fire. Ilad they thoughtlessly obeyed the order the havoc would certainly have been frightful. There is still a mystery con cerning the first firing on the advancing column, many believiug that it came from a body of rebel cavalry. Fortress Monroe, Sept.30.?Two mem bers of the mural brigade were killed Inst night, oue bjfdrowning and the other by failing from a;free while on picket duty. The rebels list night fired on our picket guard At Hatolpton Bridge aiid seriously wounded one man. Gen'I Wool*and stafT have spent the day at Newport News. The steamer Young America has brought in two prizes from Accomac county. A fieet of thirteen schooners sailed to day for Ilatteras Inlet. The steamer Spaulding is expected to arrive from the Inlet to-night and will forthwith retnrn with the balance of the 20th Indiana Regiment. Boston, Sept. 30.?Letters from the steam frigate Colorado report that the U. S, vessels Preble and Marion and the steamer Massachusetts were at Chandalier Island, nenr the mouth of the Mississippi, on the lGth September. The crews had landed, thrown up batteries and relighted the light so long extinguished by the rebels Commander Ball of the Marion had died suddenly, and the Lieutenant had been de tached from the Richmond to succeed him. The flag ship of the African squadron, the frigate Constellation, arrived at Ports mouth, X. H.. on.Saturday. New Yobk, Sept 30.?Two brigs arrived here last week, reporting that they had been chased by a pirate schooner. The snpposed pirate turns out to be the British schooner Swan, who endeavored to hail them to obtain medicines for Capt. Shell nut, who afterwards died of the yellow fe ver. The steamer Albany, arrived from Wash ington, reports having been detained at In dian Head by the Potomac flotilla until night, in order to pass the rebel battery at Cockpit Point which fires into all passing vessels. Boston, Sept. 30.?A letter from the frigate Colorado, at Fort Pickens, states that a boat expedition on I4lh inst., de stroyed thepirate Lady Davis, in Pensacola harbor, commanded by Capt.
