TOBACCO PAIR.
" Tbe sixth ere at annual Tobacco Fair for
the State of Kentucky called together yes
terday great numbers of tbe prominent to
bacco growers in the State, as well as a large
camber of tobacco dealers from all parts of
tbe country. The Fair was bold in the
specious building, which was formerly a
cburcb, tbe Eightb-street Methodist, appro
priately fitted np for the occasion. Tbe
samples of the great number of hogsheads
of tobacco offered were placed upon tables,
end the judges entered upon their duties
about eleven o'clock. The enthusiasm and
excitement among tbe tobacca men almost
equaled what is often witnessed on tbe race
course. After the awarda were announced,
tbe . sales of tbe principal premium hogs
beads commenced, and the bidding was
remarkably spirited.especially for the hogs
head which got tbe first premium. When it
bad reached $200 per one hundred pounds,
an almost unprecedented bight, tbe ex
citement increased during the rapid pro
greas in tbe bidding, until it was knocked
down to Mr. Anderson at $490, when cbeer
upon cheer, and the awinging of bata wildly
celebrated an event unprecedented in the
history of the weed. This is tbe highest
price ever paid for tobacco, and will entitle
Louisville to the "borna1 probably for a
very long period. This hogshead brought
a sum sufficient to purchase a pretty good
farm, and, indeed, the same may be said of
several others.
Tbe following is a summary statement of
the awards of premiums, &c, dec:

- . Another Rebel Bald,
- Yesterday morning tbe people of our city
were thrown into a state of considerable ex
citement by what appeared to be autbentle
intelligence that a force of Babel Cavalry
was at FlemiDgsburg, and would be here
during the day. It was understood that
one principal object of this raid, was to pro
cure horses, and clothing. Accordingly all
all of our Livery Stable men, with one ex
ception, prepared to meet the coming storm,
by sending their horses across, the - river.
and many other persons ' owning similar
property adopted a like precaution.
Between 3 and 4 o'clock P. M. our un
welcome visitors made the!r appearance.
about 80 in number, and comnoartded by the
notorious Pet Everett, the same officer
who headed the rebel raid which visitad us
in June 1863. They came into town !n .
much more quiet and orderly manner than
rhey did last year, and were in tbe heart of
the town before their presence was gener
ally Known. They bad with them a large
drove of Very fine horses, which they bad
captured on their way here.
They immediately commenced the'r search
for horse flesh, but did not, owing to tbe
precautions before referred to, make an ex
tensive a haul as they, doubtless, hoped and
expected. They found all tbe Livery Sta
bles empty, with the exception "of our friend
Tbos. Daulton, who not having the fear of
rebel love for horse flesh before his evesi
bad failed to remove bis stock to a place of
sarety. Our martial visitants, made a visi
tation to his stable, and as we him nnrlnr.
stood, at first left him nary ftoss: but there
being among tbe number black mailed two
very fine and valuable Stallions, tbey final
ty upon representations and remonstrance
agreed to return tbem. Tbe balance, six in
number, tbey bore away in triumph. We
understand that they levied oo several
horses from tbe country, which hsppened
to be casually in town. Among those thus
taken was one belooging to Mr. Amos Cut
ter, which they unhitched from his wagon,
and left him to get borne with his vehicle
the best wsy he could.
Ihey searched both of tbe Banks, but
tbe money having been previously removed,
tbey failed to find that which they were io
search of. They visited the shoe store of
Mr. Miner and helped themselves to some
thing less than a hundred dollars worth of
goods. They made a small bill, io the
book and literary line, with Mr. Blatter
man, which tbey settled in their peculiar
manner. They called upon Blum & Ileck
inger, and got about $125 worth of goods.
They visited the stable of Mr. Weedon and
cleaned him out' of tbe article of horse
flesh. The broke open the following hou
ses, which sustained the losses mentioned
below, viz: Jos. B. Dessar, $25; Bergemao
one pair pants; Owens & Barkley, loss not
koown; Anderson & Andrews, loss not
known; Solomon Kinsler, a lot of jewelry.
and private clothing.
They intercepted Mr. Bicbard Deacon
who wss diligently making his wsy to
Ohio, and relieved bim of $500 cash.
We believe that we have enumerated
most of the feats of Everetts' band in the
way of property lifting while here, which
was only about two hours. But tbeir visit to
v;. -.1 .. :n u 3 - ii ..
tui rwm vo uiius memoraoie oy tne
perpetration of one dark and bloody tragedy
which snatched from bis family and friends,
in a single moment, a worthy, honest and
industrious mao, whose tragical fata all
must regret. Mr. James Conrad, a resident
of East Maysville, was in company with
some friends making tbeir way to Aber
deen. Tbe boat beiDg bailed refused to
return to tbe shore, when it was fired opon
and Mr. Coorad killed.
We have omitted to mention in Its pro
per place that tbey broke open tbe Tele
graph Office, and visited the Post Office.
At the latter place they got nothing but a
few papers.
Before reaching Maysville, they stopped
at tbe Fair Ground, and burned to tbe
ground tbe elegant, valuable and costly
structure erected by the North Kentucky
Agricultural and Mechanical Association,
at an expense of about $20,000. This was
a loss which will not be easily repaired.
Between 5 and 6 o'clock P. M., they left
our town, en route, as it was understood, for
Lexington, Ey. Every good man. no mat
ter what may be bis political sentiments,
ill unite with us in hearty condemnation
of these predatory excursions, and we hope
this mav be tbe last with which our town
will be afflicted.
P. S. Since tbe above was written rumors
have reacned here, that Morgan's main
forces have arrived at Paris, and that the
fine brid&e at that place, as well as the one
at Cyntbiana, bave been destroyed. We
cannot say bow authentic ia tbe report
Tbey are said to be five thousand strong.

BATTLE OF DALLAS, OA.
" Battle field, May 29, 1864. .
It is much easier to describe a great battle
in which tbe contending hosts ' are massed
around a certain centre, than to give a faith
ful narrative of the desperate skirmishes
and conflicts of a vast army of over one
hundred thousand men, wbose lines often
times extend over a distance of twenty
miles. Add to this the fact that tbe coun
try through which we have campaigned is
one vsst wilderness of trees, a succession of
abrupt. bills and deep raviuea. As I bave
sent you dispatches bringing our cam pa go
up to the 20th of May, I will resume my
narrative from that date. '
Having captured Kingston, Rome and
Cassville, as I bave described, tbe rebels
fell back behind tbe Etoweb, destroying
tbe railway bridge in their rear. Our troops
were halted and got two days rest in camp
in order to refresh and recruit.
This respite was much needed, for twen
ty dsy's hard marching and fighting had
exhausted tbe troops and worn out their
shoes and clothes. About noon on tbe
twenty-tbird we broke camp and resumed
our line of marob.
' Tbe Twenty-third Corps occupied the ex
treme left, with instructions to make a feint
attack on tbe eoemy should tbey develop
themselves, and thus screen our real inten
tion of outflanking tbem. McPberson dri
ving round upon our extreme right. Palm
er came next with part of the 14th Corps,
while Howard and Hooker extending be
tween him and tbe Twenty-tbird.
On tbe 24th Wheeler's cavalry, probably
a brigade, attacked General SchonV.d'a
wagon train, which was going back to
Kingri'ons with surgeon's baggage, and suc
ceeded, without resistanoe, in burning and
capturing about a hundred wagons and their
contents. Some of our cavalry came up
soon afterward like policemen after a rob
bery. They awore like troopers, and had
tbey been there in time they would, most
likely, bave hurt some of the rebels. As it
was, tbey recovered some of the mules.
As an arm of service, I have little faith
in our cavalry force, particularly out here.
If tbey were distributed am one; (Jjrpi aud
Division Commanders as Orderlies and
mounted videttes, they would be much
more effective.
General Stoneman is reported to have
destroyed tbe rebel iron works and founde
ries to the left and rearof Altona.
By a detour, marching for Dearly two
days tbrough woods, along the extreme
right spur of the Altona range of hills, thro'
which we had oftentimes to strike out a
new road we reached tbe Punkin Vine
Creek on tbe evening of the 25th. Here
we heard heavy canonading iu our front,
and a regular file firing of musketry. It
was Hooker engaged with the enemy.
As we crossed the bridge, wounded men
were fast coming to the rear, some limping
along, others supported by comrades, others
upon stretchers with the pallor of death
opon tbeir pain-distorted features. As we
advanced toward the front th wounded be
come more numerous. It was getting dark
and a heavy rain was falling, columns of
troops were hurrying on, Generals and offi
cers were riding in bot baste, clearing the
ambulance out of their way. In the dark
ness the stretches were often jostled which
brought forth groans of pain from the suf
fering occupants.
I remarked an officer wbo was carried oo
horseback. He was shot through the ab
domen. With his hand pressed over bis
laeerated bowels be exclaimed with every
jolt. "Ob God, Oh God." Poor fellow, be
bad 'fougbt bis last bght." In tbe dark
ness our horses stumbled over tbe dead
bodies which were covered witb. blankets.
It was Howard's corps which was so rapidly
pushing to tbe front.
BOOKEB'B ASSAULT.
Hooker was all ibis time fiercely engaged
in tbe front and rather hard pressed by tbe
enemy.
Geary's division, which bad tbe advance,
pnshed too near their works, and was appa
rently decoyed on by a feint.
The enemy's batteries opened with fear
ful effect, hurling grape and canister in
showers among the forming Uses. The
troops staggered beneath it.
Bulterfield's division, now swung round
to the left of the first, and advanced close
on the enemy's works, while Williams' di
vision pressed forward on the other side.
The enemy now revealed several concealed
batteries which swept onr lines with de
structive effect. A section ot two guns in
our front annoyed us most, so tbey were
ordered to be taken by assauU. The at
tack was met with a regular sheet of grape,
canister and rifle balls. Tbe enemy were
driven from the guns, but we were not io a
position to take advantage of our partial
success. oiasKea oaiienes openeu on an
sides, throwing our lines into considerable
confusion.
Kigbt was now falling with deep dark
ness and heavy torrents of rain. In this
desperate, but imprudent charge, we lost
about 200 killed, and 650 wounded. Tbe
third brigade lost severely, having one Col
onel, four Captains and two Lieutenants
wounded. Tbe Fifth aud seventy-third
Onio suffered most. In return tor those
brave men. who heroically threw them
selves into tbe breach, I fear we did not get
an adequate return, unless a long list of
casualties can be considered such.
Heavy lines of skitmisbers might have
developed the enemy'a position, and re
vealed their batteries, as well as burling
beavv columns of troops under a destruc
tive fire. Human life ia precious, and the
General who effects tbe most good witb tbe
least sacrifice, does most.
Our brave troops will go any place, yet,
they ought not to be burled every place.
Tbe Fourth Corps bad gradually come
ud to tbe relief of Hooker, yet, be dark
ness of tbe night prevented them from ta
king ud their line of battle until next morn
ing, wbea fiey relieved toe 20ib.
Part bf dood's ana tlardee's uorps, witn
Armstrong's Brigade of Cavalry were the
troops e'.gaed.
THE ASSAULT,
which was to be made oo the morning, was,
for some cause or other, deferred. It is
said that MePhArio,:wbo is making one of
bis wonderlul flank movements, failed to
ome it. and therefore Hooker, in case of
an attack, woo Id be liable to be outflanked!
About 2 o'clock, Wood's division was re
placed by .Staniy's. snd General Wood's
swung round to our left flank on tbe line of
tbe Twenty-third Corps, for tbe purpose of
making an attack "on the enemy's left. He
bad to move tbrough dlUse, impassable
woods, and at length filed out a deep clear
eor"e or vaitev among tne woods, and
moved right forward to take up a position
in front of the enemy.- Johnson's division
of tbe Second Corps moved on tbe left to
support tbe attack.' Tbe division moved in
column, two lines to the brgade, and
passed over a steep bill, crossed a ravine,
came out in a partially open space, in front
of tbe enemy's works.
Hazen's brigade was in front, Butler's
Brigade next, with Wiltich's (now com
manded by Colonel, Gibson) in the rear.
Our troops fought across the short space
intervening between them and the rebels,
and dashed upon their lines.
The rebels were behind a barricade of
logs and earth, which curved in the form of
a circle.
At the angles of the lunette work they
had two sections of batteries, which poured
a sweeping, converging fire into our col
umns. Tbe First Brigade fiercely charged,
but were received by a most destructive
fire, which drove, them back on the sec
ond line in some oonfusion. The line of
battle was intercepted by a deep ravine in
the centre; so alter a time they deployed
out with one line and renewed tbe attack,
but were mowed down, wholesale, by one
of tbe most sweeping fires I have ever wit
nessed. The men fought desperately,
charging up within a few yards of tbe work,
but nothing could live in range of those
sweeping batteries and sheets of lead; so
they fell back, repulsed, but not panic
stricken Tbe Third Brigade of Johnson's
division supported Wood's command on the
left and participated in the fight, but not to
any available extent. Colonel Lailly, 21st
Ohio, of that command, was wounded.
Wood's division !ell back to the position
they occupied before the attack, and sent
out dettiled parties to bring in the wound
ed. Before tbey bad brought them all in
the rebels opened a cross fire upon tbem
charged out on them, capturing a large
number, in all perhaps one hundred and
fKty, chiefly from the 12lst. 89th, 1st and
Yd I Ohio. Among tbeae was Colonel Paine
121th Ohio. It was Cleburne's division of
Hurdee's corps, with a brigade of Poydesp
wbicb was in our front.
Tbe rebel guus bad a splendid range, for
tbey sent their shells right across our lines
and then out tbe valley where we were re
forming, and continued to do so until far in
the night. The Twenty-third was partially
engaged on our right.
It appears strange to me that the attack
was not simultaneous, but the enemv were
allowed to concentrate tbeir forces and
crush a noble division. Tbe loss in killed
and wounded must be over a thousand.
In the opening of the fight a sharp. shooter
shot Gapiain Stecson, A. D. C. to General
Ho ward, tbrough the Oreast, severely wound
ing him. The same ball passed by C-ipuin
Bestow, Adjutant General to General Wood,
tUdt grazing mm. u-eneral Howard was
Kilgbtly touched on the foot, while General
Wood had some close escapes. Ooo of his
Aids. Captaiu MrAlrene, was struck on the
thigh witn a spent ball.
On account of the partial successes the
rebels have acquired, tbey are likely to give
us bght bere. IF so, as we have a much
interior army and overtopling reverses have
no influenceaon tbe result, tbey are sure to
be badiy whipped.
As tbe moon rose Irode over the valley
where our deal and wounded were congre
gated, and what a sad sight. Our horses
bad to feel their way among the dying and
wounded-. Tbe pale features and glazed
eyes wer turned toward the bright mooo,
which ehone on as if tbe world were at
peace. Tbe suppressed groans of the tor
tured come like a curse from, the other
world upon tbe authors of this savage war
Is hell black enough to punish its authors?
It was three o'clock when 1 threw mynelf
upon my grassy coucn.but was soon awaken
ed by pieces of shells hurling through the
trees over my head, one of which wounded
General Johnson, Fourth Array Corps. At
his hurt was but a concussion in the side, is
will not prove serious.
There is little filing to-day. Our trocps
are changing position preparatory to an
other attack. A part of tbe Twentieth
Corps had some brisk skirmishing. I in
close a partial list of officers killed and
wounded.
Kimbal's and Warren's brigade of New
ton's division bad a b eavy skirmish with
enemv last nigbt.
No general engagement expected to-day,
or perhaps here at all. A. H. Clinton.
LATE BATTLE OS THE NORTH
ANNA HEAVY L.OSS.
Washington, June 2
To tbo Editor of tbe Enquirer.
Some of tbe particulars of the battle be
tween tbe two armies are being made pub
lic. The Confederates allowed our forces
to cross tbe North Anna and carry the first
line of fortifications with little resistance.
Grant then attacked the second tine and
carried it, (as they intended be should in
. mi .
tbe same way. ids reoeis then let our
troops approach within range of the t'twd
and main fortification, when they opened
upon us, throwing our troops into confusion
and raked them by cross fires with artillery
from both wings. The slaughter was ter
rible. Our loss is estimated at not less than
ten thousand. Three broken brigades were
captured with a park of artillery by the
enemy.
Grant then retreated to the North Anna,
and, to void pursuit, next morning started
south-east and for tbe tbe Peninsula. This
has been stvled Genera! Grant's successful
strategy and flank movement. 5,000 of the
wounded of this battle have arrived bere,
and they are more mangled and fatilly
wounded than any troops that bave arrived
The mj'rity of tbem are wounded in the
Idzs requiring amputation. Abe wounded
describe the battle as terrible. -
We shall have nothing but success and
victories, admirable nans and strategic
movements, from now and until after tbe
Baltimore Convention. Nothing else will
be permitted to go over the wires. Let
what will take place we will hear only only
of victory, strategy, and tbe expected
speedy fall of Richmond.
The trqtb is, notwithstanding all that is
said, and tbe victories that are boasted of.
General Grant is more concerned for tbe
sifety of -his army to-day, than for the cap,
ture of Richmond. lie is getting, however,
reinforcements daily, and in a week or so
his array will "number not far from two
hundred thousand men, when be will, witb
his know tenacity and perseve-ance, set
himself down before Richmond with tbe
determiuatipn to take it or perish in the
attempt. li:a heavy siege guns are now on
the way to tbe White House, and by tbe
time this letter reaches you they will bave
reached their destination.
Mosby's cavalry bave control of the whole
country about Fredericksburg, and as near
Washington as Cdutreviiie. .No communi
cation wbaiever can be bad with the army
by land. Water is now tbe only means of
reaching Geo. Grant from Washington.
CLEVELAND.
U. S. 10-40 BONDS.
These Bonds are issued under the Act of Con
gress of March 8th, 1854, which provides that in
lien of so much of tbe loan authorized by tbo Act
of March 8d, 1863', to which this is supplement
ary, the Secretary of the Treasury is authorized
to borrow from time to time, on the credit of the
United States, not exceeding TWO HTJNDBED
MILLION DOLLARS during the current fiscal
year, and to prepare and issue therefor Coupon
and Registered Bonds of the United States; and
all Bonds issued under this Act shall be EX
EMPT FEOM TAXATION by or under any
State or municipal authority. Snbsoriptions to
these Bonds are received in United States notes
or notes of National Banks. They are TO BE
REDEEMED IN COIN, at the pleasure of the
Government, ot any period not less than ten nor
more than forty years from their date, and until
their ree'emption FIVE PER CENT. INTEREST
WILL BE PAID IN COIN, on Bonds of not over
one hundred dollars annually, and on all other
Bonds semi-annually.
Tbe interest is payable on the first days of
March and September in each year. Tbe semi
annual Coupons are payable at those dates, and
the annual Coupons on tbe 50 and 100 dollar
Bonds are payable on the first of March.
Subscribers will receive either Registered or
Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Registered
Bonds tre recorded on the book of the U. S.
Treasurer, and can be transferred only on the
owner's ooior. Coupon Bonds are payable to
bearer, and aro more convenient for commercial
uses.
Registered Bonds will be issued of the denom
inations of Fifty Dollars (50), One Hundred
Dollars ($100), Five Hundred Dollars ($o00),
One Thousand Dollars (fl,000), Five Thousana
Dollars (5,000), and Ten Thousand Dollars
($10,000); and Co:ipon Bonds of the denomina
tions of Filly Dollars ($50), One Hundred Dol
lars ($100), Five Hundred Dollars ($500), and
One Thousand Dollars ($1,000).-
Subscribers to this loan will have the option of
having tbeir Bonds draw interest frjm March
lt, by paying the accrued interest in coin (or
in United Slates notes, or the notes ol National
Banks, adding fifty per cent, for premium,) or
receive them di awing interest from the date of
subscription and deposit.
As theso Bouds aro ex-mpt from municipal or
4
State taxation, their value is increased from one
to three per cent, per annum, according to the
rate of tax levies in various parts of the country
At th present rate cf piemium on gold they
pay over eight per cent, interest iu currency,
and are of equal convenience as a permanent or
temporary irvestment.
I, is believed that no securities offer so great
inducements to lenders as the various descrip
Mors of U. S. Bonds. In all other forms of in
debtedness, the faitn or ability of private parties
or stock companies or separate communities
only is pledged for payment, while for the debts
of tbe Uuited States the whole property of the
country is boldcn to secure the payment of both
principal and interest in coin.
The30 Bonds may be subscribed for in sums
from $50 up to any magnitude, on the same
terms, and are thus made equally available to
the smallest lender and tbe largest capitalist.
They can be converted into money at any mo
ment, and tbe bolder will bave the benefit of tbe
interest.
The faet that all duties on imports are puyable
in specie furnishes a fund for like payment of in
terest on all Government Bonds largely in ex

Its general introduction into the army will
save the lives of thousands of our soldiers.
Louisville, Ky., June 8d, 1S63.
We, the undersigned, have seen the good ef
fects produced by the use of Dr. John Bnll'j
Cedron Bitters in case of general debility and
prostration of the system, and believo its general
use would prevent disease and relieve much suf
fering. Among our soldiers particularly would
this be the case, especially those who are ezposcd
to miasmatic influences in the Southern climate.
