B. B. BLACKWELL, BDiTO.'l.
The Press lias Nearly OaUble the Circus
iation of any Paper in Huiiterdou Co.
yaeedictory.
With this issue, we close our duties
and labors as Editor and Publisher of
The Lambertville Press, the estab
lishment having passed into other
hands.
In November 1858, t hree years .ago,
we started The Press, haring at that
time one hundred and sixty-three sub
scribers.
At the commencement;, we labored
under serious disadvantage, the finan
cial condition of the country bedng
almost bankrupt, a strong opposition
to contend with, besides being young
and inexperienced in business. But
we have successfully combatted with
all these difficulties, and retire from
the concern leav.ng a circulation of
about fifteen hundred, a good adver
tising patronage, an excellent run of
Job work, all the work of most unti
ring perseverence and industry.
While we acknowledge our many
shortcomings, we are conscious of the
fact that our humble efforts have been
appreciated, for which an indulgent
and liberal public will receive our un
feigned thanks. During the time we
have published the Press we have
used our utmost endeavors to make it
a welcome visitor to the family circle,
as the great increase in circulation
gives abundant evidence.
While we regret parting company
with our readers and friends we have
every assurance that The Press has
fallen into abler hands and bespeak for
it a still further increase in circulation
and usefulness.
To our numerous correspondents we
retnru our thanks for the valuable as
sistance rendered and the many acts
of kindness received at their hands.
We have determined to enter into
a new business, in another place,
which we trnst will be more congeni
al to our taste, the duties of an ed
itor we have learned ere this are too
laborious for the small renumeration
received.
To our brethren of the pres (through
out the county, we wish health, pros
perity and happiness ; and the same
to our readers, correspondents, and all
with whom we have been contacted
in business matters during our short
career as Editor and Publisher.
Respectfully Yours,
B. B. BLACKWFLL.
The Late Colonel Baker.—In an
article in the Tribune, Mr. George
Wilkes pays a glowing tribute to Sen
ator Baker, and in the course of the
article says:—
It was my good fortune to know
Col. Baker well, and I had the honor
to entertain him at dinner in August
last. On that occasion, when I ex
pericnced (in review of the recent dis
aster at Manassas) a natural concern
as to the deportment of his troops, he
said : “ Wilkes, I have some peculiar
notions as to the part I am to play in
this extraordinary war; and I want
yon to bear in mind that what I now
Say to yon is not the result of any
idle fancy or va^ ue impression. It is
doubtful if I ever shall again take my
seat in Senate !” To the look of sur
prise I turned upon him- at this ex
pression he replied—"I am certain I
shall not live through this war, and if
my troops should show any want of
resolution, I shall fall iu the first battle.
T,«annot afford, after my career in
Mexico, and a senator of the United
• States, to tnrn my face from the ene
my !•” There was no gloom or de
- pressiau, in his manner but it was char- <
. acterized by a temperate earnestness
which made a deep impression on ray
-mind.
fpMllauffitsi pews,
The venerabre Thomas Wildey, the
founder of Odd fellowship in America,
died very su Idenly on Saturday morn
ing, at Baltimore.
Not Far out of tub Way.—Some
body says that the allies of t <e South
ern rebels in order of importance are
rhe devil, the London Times and the
Indians.
The New Houses of Parliament, in
London, are crumbling to pieces, in
consequence of the wrong kind of stone
h iving been nsed iu their construc
tion. All resources of science are
taxed in vain to preserve them.
Mr.. Daniel Cory, of Somerset Coun
ty, in this State, who was arrested on
the lfit.h of September, and confined'
in Fort Lafayette as a political prison
er, was released from confinement on
Monday.
A new invention in artillery is no-,
teed in the Pittsburg papers. It con
sists of an entire battery of a single
carriage. The six field piece! are
securely fastened to a turn-table, which
revolved as the guns are successively
discharged.
Monmouth ccunty has furnished
500 men toward the Grand Array,
which, for a purely agricultural county
is doing remarkably well. The little
village of Winslow, on the edge of
Camden county, has sent 1(1 men to
the war. The town does not contain
over 200 families.
Putting a Stop to Idling—The
Secretary of the Treasury at Washing
ton has issued an order that all clerks
of that department shall submit, at
the end of each month, in their own
handwriting, the amount of work per
formed, together with a tabular state
ment of the same.
Official Rebel Report of the
Recent Battle.—Brigadier General
Evans, in his report of the Ball’s Bluff
affair, reports their killed and wounded
at 300, as published in Thursday’s
Richmond papers. To this. ?2 or
100 percent, may be added ; proving,
conclusively, the efficiency of our arms.
Three More Regiments from New
Jersey.—Information has been recei
ved from Washington that Col. Hal
stead, now in command of a regiment
of Cavalry in the service of the Uni
ted States, has been authorized to
raise three regiments of infantry from
this State. Orders have been issued
to Lieut. Brightly, the mustering offi
cer stationed at Trenton, to that ef
fect.
Passengers from old Point at Bal
itniore, on Wednesday, state that the
fleet which left New York on Monday,
arrived in Hampton Roads on Mon
day afternoon, and created great ex
citement among the troops there,
owing to the extensive character of
the expedition. A flag of trace came
up from Norfolk on the same day, but
Gen. Wool refused to receive it. ,
John Brown, Jr, son of the leader
at Harper’s Ferry, is successfully can
vassing the region of Titusville, Pa.,
for picked riflemen. Ho travels in
gray shirt and trowsers, with large
revolver and bowie knife protruding
from his pockets. He is a large mus
cular man, and is supposed to be a
man of muscle, with despirate resolves,
anxious to avenge the death of his
father.
Six Hundred Prisoners—The
Richmond papers, before as, of Thurs
day last, say that 6ix hundred of oar
men were taken prisoners, and that
they would arrive that morning and
be imprisoned “ in the capacious to
bacco warehouse of Robert A. Mayo,”
which was being made ready for them.
This “ in durance vile,” will prove to
those unfortunate braves a tile endur
ance.
IJon. Robert J. Walker —This
distinguished statesman is now on a
visit to bis relative in this pity, and
sustains the Administration with all i
his ability. When he heard of the dis- j
astrous reconnoisance at Ball’s Bluff, j
he exclaimed, “ Do not let us despair ;
we have the ships and the seaman, and
the money. The tebels hav# neither.
The army will not fail us, and the
nary never did.”
Tbr Pennsylvania Election.—
The v•■turns of the recent election
ttfcr^cnt the State came in very
slc^If, but as far as received, indicate
! a Pcikccratic majority, on joint ballot
in \,h» Legislature. In many coun
ties, Union tickets were voted. The
Senate will stand 22 Republicans and
13 Democrats. The House stands, as
far as heard from, stands 43 Demo
crats 18 Union, 24 Republican*, and
15 to be heard from.
The funeral of Col. Baker, who so
gallantly fell on Monday in the battle
near Leesburg, took place on Thurs
day. The military display on the oc
casion was very large. Amoog those
who followed the remains to the Con
gressional Cemstrv, were th# Presi
dent, Heads of Departments, and a
number oj gentlemen from the Pacific
coast, including Senators Latham and
McDougal. General Scott attended
the funeral services at Major Webb's
residence.
Ad intelligent gentlemen, who has
just escaped from PflrUmputh.Va, fur
nishes the Philadelphia Bulletin with
*mve interesting particulars of the
coadition of affairs in Yirginia. He
confirms the reports regarding the ex
igence of a strong Union sentiment
in Portsmouth, and the preperatious
of the rebels to run the blockade with
the Meriraac. He also states that
tw> hots or young men who pretend
to be fishermen, manage nightly to
elude the tigilance of the Potomac
fqiadron, and transport across the
river, New York Papers and a mail
flag, returning with letters from ■the
rebels to their friends in Maryland and
the North.
Won’t Serve Their Country.—
Mas'-achus'ctts has one black spot on
it> escutcheon. It is pot loyal to the
backbone, as we had supposed. New
B< df rd, with a population of twenty
th lustind, hns not enlisted a man for
the suppression of the rebellion, or
loaned t he Government a single dol
lar ! This js too bad. Come, gentle
men of New Bedford, yon are rich ;
and you ouglP to be patriotic. Send
a regiment to Washington without
delay, and in the meantime, subscribe
a million of dollars to the National
loan Don’t be modest now. Come
forward, if y >n are men ; which very
many in this State doubt
The approaching Winter must tell
crushingly upon the'spirits of the reb
els. Cnt off form all communication
with the world ; the necessaries ol
life trebled in value ; ^denied the lux
uries to which they have all their lives
been accustomed ; without money,
without the skill to torn their feeble
resources to account ; what a dreary
lookout into the future! And then
their army :—without tents; without
salt to (»ason their rations 1 Their
seaboad menaced ; large fleets keep
ing watch and ward at their harbor
entrances and the' mouths of their
rivers ; formidable expeditions swoop
ing down upon their coasts, investing
their fortresses and capturing their
commercial towns 1
Working Classed. —It is a com
mon topic or remark t hat the approach
of winter brings fewer evidences of
distress and suffering with it than have
been witnessed for many years past.
This is easily to be accounted for.—
In the first place all the surplus ar
tisans of the large cities have gone
to the war leaving to those who re
main fall emplopyment. The latter
are better able to support their fam
ilies than when they had so much
competition to contend against.—
Again, numbers of machanics and la
borers, who are accustomed to idle
away their tine in bar-rooms and
groggeries, ore now under the influence
of the army regulation, becoming so
ber men, and are sending home their
pay regularly to their families. The
latter are, therefore, far better off than
when they were at home with them.
In addition to these fa'-.ts, tho impetus
given by the war to the mechanical
occupations in which women and chil
dren are able to take part will help
to account for the absence of distress
that is noticed. Altogether, the de
mand upon the public benevolence
promised to be ligher this winter, not
withstanding the war, than at any
former period within our recollection.
—Phila. City Item.
The Washington Star derive: some
interesting facts regarding affairs in
the Siuth from Dr. S.H.Bradley, for
medy a citizen of New York State,
but until breaking out of the rebel
lion a practicing physician at Mont
gomery, Ala. Dr. Bradley acted as
Surgeon to the Second Air bama Reg
iment in the battle of Bull Run, and
for an attempt to escape to the Union
lines was ironed and removed to Mont
gomery, where he was confined until
September 25. On his release, he
made his way North via New Orleans.
He reports that great preparations
were making at tnat city to resist in
vasion by the National forces. Four
32-pounders had b?en planted on the
Custom House, which commands the
river for some distance, and guns of
smaller colibre had been placed upon
the roofs o! other buildings not so
strongly constructed. Light draft
boats had beea assigned to duty on
Lake Ponchartrain. Dr Bradley
Btates that Confederate currency in
many parts of the South has already
depreciated thirty per cent. At Jack
son, Miss , on his way North, he wit
nessed a large review, at which sever
il negro regiments were inspected by
Gov. Jackson. He left Gen. Buckner
at Bowling Green,Ky.,with 3,000 men
and Senator Breckinridge had a force
of 1,000 three miles nearer to Louis
ville. Throughout the South provis
ions were high and continually advanc
ing in price.
Naval Battle at New Ohlbans.
—New York, Oct. 24.—The steamer
McClellan brings a reliable account of
the fight at the mouth of the Mississip
pi.
The rebel fleet consisted of six gun
boats, the ram Manassas, and a large
number of fire-ships, filling the river
from shore to shore.
Our squadron comprised the Rich
mond, Huntsville, Water Witch, Peb
le, and Yincennes, and the storeship
Nightingale. They were at anchor
inside of the Southwest Pass.
The Manassas drifted foul of the
Richmond knocking a hole in her
uaarter and stern, bnt doing little
damage.
To avoid the fire-ships the sqnad
ron got under weigh immediately and
drifted down the river.
The Richmond, Preble, Yeneennea,
and Nightingale got asho4fc on the
bar, and while ashore were attacked
4b the rebels, but only one of their
^ots took effect, and that struck the
Richmond on the quarter. They
were beaten off by the Vincennes with
only two guns, the rest, of her arma
ment, with her chains, anchors, etc., \
having been thrown overboard to light- |
en her. she being much exposed to.the j
rebel fire.
Not one person wag killed or woun
ded in Hie squadron.
The Richmond, Preble, and Vin
cennes were towed off the next day
iby the steamer McClellan.
The Nighiingale was still ashore,
but would probably get off the next
day.
The steam frigate Niagara arrived
at t lie mouth of the Mississippi on the
14th inst.
The sloop-of-war Dale was spoken
on the 16th, cruising cn the Gulf
Stream.
Important from Richmond.—
Last Saturday evening, U, S Mar
shall Millward arrested a person whose
name was entered on the books of the
Oentinental as '* Armstrong.” He
was observed to be in possession of a
number of the Richmond Enquirer of
the 25th inst., and his deportment led
to the suspicion that he might be a
spy. On a partial examination he
proved to be a loyal man, born and
resident in Ngw England, and was of
course released. How he came into
possession of so late a number pf the
Secession organ of the Richmond trai
tors it is unnecessary to state.—
From the Examiner we learn that
the Rebels admit a loss of over three
hundred killed, in the battle, or rec
onnoissance, at Bali’s Buff. They
assert that the river was “ black” with
the retreating and flying troops of the
Federal regiments. The rebels engag
ed were Mississippi, and Virginia
troops and the Examiner adds that
when the contest grew close the Miss
issippi troops threw away their rifles,
and used their bowie-knifes. The at
tack onlhe rebels was twice made by our
troops, and twle repulsed. Rebel
reinforcements were sent for, but were
not used. Mr. Armstrong left last
evening for New York.

Fiftv’ prisoners, taken at the battle
of Fredericktown, have been put to
wrrk in the trenches at Cape Giiadeau,
The report of Major Schofield, who
commarded the battery in the action
shows that this victory was the most
complete of any yet achieved by our
army daring the war. Jeff. Thompson
escaped on foot, after having bis horse,
killed under him. The rebel force
was about 6,000, while our own force
was only 4,000.
VICTORY ATR0MEY, VA.
Gen. B. Kelly Routs the
Rebels, Capturing Three Can
non and Many Prisoners.
THE REBEL WAGONS AND
CAMP EQUIPAGE TAKEN.
RETREAT TOWARD WINCHESTER
New Creek, Va.. Oct. 21—Brig
adier Gen. B. F. Celly marched from
this point on Friday night, and atta de
ed the rebels entrenched at Romney
yesterday afternoon. He routed the
enemy, capturing many prisoners, three
pieces of cannon, and all their wagons !
and camp equipage. The rebels re
treated towards Winchester.
Our los3 is trifling. That of the
enemy has not been ascertained, but
is believed to be large.
Official Den patch of Gen. Kelly.
Washington, October 21,—Lieu- i
tenant General Scott to-day received
the following despatch, dated Romney,!
Va., Oct. 26, P. M. :
" In obedience to your orders I
mov$d on this place at 12 o’cloek last |
oiglit, attacked the enemy at 3 o’clock,
this afternobn, and drove in th;ir out
posts, and, afti&r a brilliant action of
two hours, completely routed them, j
taking all their cannon and much of i
their camp equipage, and many pris- !
oners. Our loss is but trifling, but |
cannot say to what extent.
“lbig. Gen B. F. Kelly, com
mand dig ”
Gen. Kelly’s Column.
This gallant Virginian, has not only
recovered from his severe wound, in
flicted bv the treachery of rebels, last
summer, but is again actively at work
in the field. His headquarters have
alternated lately between Grafton and
New Creek. He has had six regi
ments under his command, and these
have been stretched in line from Cum
berland (Maryland) to Grafton. Their
principle business has been to guard
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad between thest points, and to
ketp the Secessionists from making
incursions out of tin valley of Vir
ginia into the Western port of that
State.
By his movement upon R,omney,
the Secession forces in the valley of
Shenandoah are outflanked, and Win
chester, only 25 miles from this point,
tis Seriously menanced. By this route
Manassas can be completely tnrned, or
a march made upon Richmond throngh
Staunton, without regard to Beanre
gard’8 army.
It is doubtful, however, whether
Kelly has sufficient force to do more
than maintain himself. If he has more
than enough, there will be a forward
movement upon Winchester. The
crossing the river at Edward’s Ferry,
by Stone’s, column, was evidently in
tended to bo in concert with General
Kelly’s advance, from the northwest,
in the same general direction.
Romney.
Is situated in a bowel ot mountains.
There are rich fertile valleyj running
along their bases. The country sur
rounding is productive of the cereals.
The town of itself is one of the most
thriving in that part of Virginia.—
Many of the inhabitants still long for
a res toration of the old Union.
It can be essily fortified and held.
But its possession, except as a point
to guard the rear of an advancing
column, is of little military importance.
Winchester is the strategic point of
that region.
Col. Wallace’s Indiana Zouaves,
early in June last, whilst stationed at
Cumberland, made a dash upon a par
ty of Confederate troops stationed at
this point, and took all their camp
equipage and a large number of arms,
routing them completely.
Met Him on the Way.
A few diys since we met a friend with pockets
richly laden, in pursuit'of a good cooking Stove,
he was invited in to take a look, ohieh he thought
would be useless as he could do so much better
in the city, having the ready to pay down for
his purchase. It was soon found that he was sot
aware of the change in price nor of the quali
ty of the fixtures on our stoves, but upon ex -
animation of the Stoves and Ware, he became
fully satisfied that one of our stoves and furni
ture, was worth several dollars more than the
same stove, when fitted with such ware as is
used in other establishments, in fact he was
fovorabiy impressed with our stove, without
regard to price. But when his attention was
called to the low pries at which we sell them
he was almost overcome with joy, his pockets
could no longer hold the treasure, for in less time
than it has taken us to tell the story, the mon
ey was ours, the stove was his, and he went on
his way rejoicing. The following day his neigh
bor came and did likewise, at the same price.
