AnExcltluc time In Monroe and Xo hie Counties, Ohio?A False Alarm nfaoat an Invasion. Batksvjlle, Noble Co., Ohio, \ July 26tb, 1861.) Editors Wheeling Intelligencer: Our usually quiet county was thrown into excitement lust Monday evening by the astounding news that five thousand rebel Virginians had crossed the river and burnt the town of Claringtou, and were killing people by the hundred indiscrimi nately. in an almost incredible short time the Williamsburg Guards,'Capt. Patterson; and the Calais luviuctbles, Capt. Jones, were ou the move for the scene of carnage. The Beaver Mounted Rangers were to follow in the momiug under Col. Gcbhart, of Wil liamsburg. In the mean time scouts were sent forward on fleet horses to reconnoitre and ascertain the facts as far as possible. Your correspoudeut was on his horse arm ed with two ritles, pistol, rations, ic., by daylight next morning, but found on arri ving in Williamsburg the scouts hud re turned and seen uo enemy. The foot sol diers, near four hundred strong, encamped in the vicinity of Malaga, Monroe county Monday morning before daylight, and re turned home Tuesday. But the devil, iu the person of one Bazel Batt, of the P. P. V.'s, who has been around here for some time making shingles, harvesting by the day, &c., and told me he wanted to go to slave breediug if he whs able to buy a ublack gal." Said Batt takiug advantage of the officers of the law, who were away that night, and also of the absence of Mr. L.. "Did then and there beat, wound (I quote from the warrant) and ill treat, and violently and forcibly against her will, fe loniously try to ravish and carnally* know" Mrs. L., a quiet, chaste, "harmless and deli cate lady of respectable parentage and uu blemtehed reputation^ and ths* made his escape, and is, no doubt, now far in the "Old Dominion." We meet to-morrow to increase our army and prepare for future emergencies. Yours lor the Union asd Laws, J. T. [From another Corres|>on?lt'ixt.] * Malaga, Monroe County, O., 1 July 24th, 1861. / 3/rs*rt. Editors of Intelligencer : 1 have noticed one or- two sketches (of which one was in your paper of to-day), concerning the excitement throughout Monroe county, which was created by the report that the secessionists had crossed the river at Sunflsli, and vaere doing great depredations, Mich as burning houses and killing fifty of the citizcns in and around Clarington. I have taken leave to give you u faint idea ot how the people took it in our peaceful neighborhood. About 12 o'ctook on Monday. 22d inst., the news came here of what had been go ing on. We 3eut a messenger forthwith to Suolish to learn the particulars. By 3 o'clock the whole surrounding country was fired with iadiguation aud in perfect con tusion. Farmers, old and young, left their harvest field?, aud weut to cleaning their guns, running bullets and cutting patches, and were soou ou their way to Malaga, (which was the place named to gather at to await further orders.) Against night there were about three hundred armed men i in town, awaiting the return of the mes- ' senger. At 9 o'clock wo marched to a j grove close to town, for the purpose of | resting until our messenger returned. By midnight other compauies had come iu, which increased our number to about 450 men, armed with common rifles and shot guns. They all seemed anxious and eager to march ou to the scene of uction, if ne cessary. At 1 o'clock our messenger re turned, and reported that there was no truth in what we had heard. This news caused great cheering throughout the camp, although several declared them selves sorry that there was nothing of it, for they were*anxious to shoot some of the d?d secessionists We conducted our camp in good order until mornining, when we marched to town, and the citizens of Malaga provided breakfast tor the entire company, free of charge, after which we had a general par ade, and the company left for their several homes, long to remember the battle at Sun- , fish and the night spent in Camp Surprise, , a quarter of a mile east of Malaga. J. H Mr. Hansen** last Letter to the Lon don Times?He Describes tils Ride from Memphis, Trim., to Cairo, 111. ?The Intentions of the Rebel Lead ers Concerning Foreigners. When the War Is Over they do not Intend to let them Vote. June 19?Up at three A. M.. to get ready for the train at 5, which will take me out of Dixie's Land to Cairo. If the owu ers of the old liolsteries in the Fgvptian city were at all like their Tennesseean fel low-craftsmen iu the upstart institution which bears its name, 1 wonder bow Hero dotus managed to pay bis way. Our sable attendant quite entered into our feeling*, and was rewarded accordingly. At 5 A. M., covered with duat contracted in a drive through streets which seem "paved with waves of mud," to use the phrase of a Hi bernian gentleman connected with the lug gage department of the omnibo?, "only the mod was all dust," to use tuy own, 1 started in the cars with some Confederate officers and several bottles of whisky u which at that early hour was considered by my unknown companions as a highly efficient prophylactic against the morning , dews, but it appears that these dews are of such a deadly character that, in order to 1 guard against their effects one must be corac dead druuk. The ,saino remedy, 1 aui assured, is sovereign ngaiust rattle snake bites. I can assure the friends of those gentlemen were aroplj fortified against any amount of dew or rattlesnake poison before they g^t to the end of their whisky, so great wis their supply, ily the Memphis papers, it seems thnt if thai institution ot blood prevailed there as in New Orleans, for I read in the papers as 1 went along of two marders and a shootin affray as the incidents ot the previous day. coniributed by "the local." To contrast with this low state of social existence there must be a wry high condition of moral feeling, for the journal I was readii g contained an elaborate article to show the wickedness of any oqe paying his debts, and of any State acknowledging its liabil ities, which would constitute an individu al vadc mecum for Bnsinghall street At Humboldt there was what i? called a change of cars?a process tbi.t oil thc pbilosopBy of tbelBarpu oonld jiot hare enabled him tt*endun> without some loss of temper, for there was a whole Kos mos of Southern patriotism assembled ot the station, burning with the fires of liber ty, nnd bent on going to the camp at-Union City, forty-six miles away, where the Con federate forces of Tennessee, aided by Mis sissippi regiments, are out under the green wood tree. Their force was irresistible, particularly as there were numbers of re lentless citi'/.enesses?what the American papers call "quite a crowd"?as the advan ced guard of the invading army. While the original occupant* were being com pressed or expelled by crinoline?that ail absorbing, defensive and aggressive article of feminine war reigns here in wide spread, iron-bound circle?I took refuge on the platform, where I made in an invol untary way, a good many acquaintances in this sort: "Sir, ray name is Jones? Judge Jones, of Pumpkin county. I am huppy to know you Sir." We shake bauds eflfectionately. "Colonel,"(Jones loquitur,) "allow me to introduce you to my friend Mr. Scribble! Colonel Maggs, Mr, Scrib ble." Tho Colonel shakes hands, and im mediately darts off Co a circle of his friends, whom he introduces, and they each in troduced some one else to me, nnd, finally, I am introduced to the engine-driver, who is really an acquaintance of val ue, for he is good enough to give n;o a seat on his engine, and the bell toils, the steam trumpet bellows, and we move from the station an hour behind time, and with twice the nujuber of pass engers the c-*rs were meant to contain. Our engineer did his best to overcome his difficulties, and we rushed rapidly, if not steadily, through a wilderness of forest nnd tangled brakes, through which the rail, without the smallest justification, per formed curve and twists, indicative of a desire on the part of tho engiueer to con sume the greatest amount of rail on the shortest extent of line. My companion was a very intelligent Southern gentle man, formerly editor of a newspaper. We talked of the crime of the country, of the brutal shootings and stabbings which dis graced it. He admitted their existence with regret, but ho could advise aud sug g?*4 no r??edy^ it?tV??j:o]V?j0p.have cash ed in upon us, so- that we can't nia*rer them." "Is the law powerless?" "Well, Sir, you see these men got hold of those who should administer the law, or they are too powerful or too reckless to be kept down." "Thai is a reign of terror?of mob-ruffianism?'* '-Itdou't hurt respecta- ' ble people much; bu 11 agree wi th you it m ust be put down." "When,?how?" "Well, Sir, when things arc settled, we'll just take the law into our hands. Not a man shall have a vole uuless he's American born, and, by degrees, we'll get rid of these men who disgrace us." "Arc not many of your regimen is composed of Germans nnd Irish ?of foreigners, in fact? "Yes, Sir." I did not suggest to him the thought which j rose in my mind, that these gentlemen, if I successful, would be very little inclined to ; abandon their, rights while they hnd arms in their hands; but it occurred to mo as j well that this would be rather a poor re- ? ward for the men who were engaged in i establishing the Southern Confederacy. The attempt may fail, but assuredly I have \ heard it expressed too often to doubt that there is a determination on tbe part of tho leaders in the movement to take away the suffrage from tbe men whom they do not scruple to employ in fighting their battler. If they cut the throats of the enemy they will stifle their own sweet voices at tho same time, or soon afterwards?a capital recompense to their emigrant soldiers 1 A Card from Air. Arnold. Wheeling, July 24, 1801. Editors Intelligencer:? A person who signs himself ft voter of ' Lewis lias seen proper to address mc i through the colums of your paper, charg ing me with misrepresenting iny constitu ents, and asks me to vacate my seat. I have some idea of who the writer-is, and happen to know something nbout his political antecedents. Bo far as he is con- j cerned, or the course ho has seen proper to pursue, I care as little about htm as I do about any other abolitionist who 13 oppos ed to settling this war by Jegislation rath er than by the sword, and who is a sym pathizer with the notoriott# Ijovcjoy, iind a practical amalgamationist. Sir, I am in favor of the preservation of the Union on the basis of the Federal Con stitution, and tho mainlftinance of the laws ' made in pursuance of that instrument.? 1 And to be candid, I am a friend of peace, | and not of war, and would this moment if I had the power compromise this fratrici dal war on what is known ns the '?Peace Conference Adjustment," or the Crittenden Compromise, and I believe that nine out of every ten of the voters of Lewis would do likewise. Your correspondent mistakes the people of Lewis when he supposes they are opposed to a compromise of this war, and woald vote for the Lovejoy reso lutions,"one of which ppssedjone House of Congress, and which must have a 'most damaging effect upon the loyal citizens of the border slave States. If yon expect to keep Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland, and even Western Virginia in the Union, you must ga.mintee to the Union slaveholders of these States protection to their slave property. Let Congress by legislation im pair these rights in tbtff respect, and those States will not remain in the Union thirty day3. The present is a war with our o*n people?the result and end of which God only knows, and which may lost as long ns that of the revolution. In such a contest, what must be the loss of life, the hardship and privation both sides must endure!? 1 Poverty, misery and distress must visit millions unless soon averted. Ilard in deed most be the heart which opposes a frtefadfy settlement of the pending con I flict. Time is a great curative, aud perhaps ' I your correspondent may in a few months ' a idergo ft change of mind. He is like ma ny others of his kith and kiu very fmati ?rnl' when winner. He speak? at the time if his writing by the current of events.? He may have occasion to think and net differently after a while, and to conclude that 1 am not so far wrong after all* 1 shall not comply with his request at preseu*, I have too much faith in the good sense and patriotism of the people of my country. They have known me too long to believe that I would do them any inju^ ry. or thnt I would not represent fairly their v ews and opinions upon great ques tions winch have been presented before this body, for representative action. On my return home, I shall take occasion to make my course, whilst there, fully known to those who have placed in mo their con tideuce, und iu conclusion can but report to them, that 1 aut now, as 1 have ever been, for the Union, the Constitution, the laws and the institutions of the whole country. . Geo. J. ABSutrfc.^ Neuralgia. The Ladies Repository, published at Cin cinnati, contains the following paragraph. "Sotnc time since we published, at the request of a friend, a receipt to cure Neu ralgia. Half a dram of Sal ammonia iu an ounce of camphor water, to be .taken a teuspoonful at a do^e, and the dose repeat ed several times, at'intervals of five min utes, if the paiu bo not relieved at once.? Half a dozeu different persons have since tried the receipt, and in every case an im mediate cure wns effected.
