THE 2d VETERAN CAVALRY – We have received no information from Capt. Sanford's Company, of this Regiment, since they were at Grand Ecore, La.
DIED OF WOUNDS – Alonzo D. Hill, son of Mr. John Hill, of Addison, was mortally wounded in one of the battles of the Wilderness, and died of his wounds at Fredericksburg, on the 13th of May. His father, on hearing that he was wounded, went to Washington, but could proceed no further, for the reason that our army was vacating the place, and it was not safe at that time to make the attempt. He learned from the Sanitary Commission that Alonzo had died and was buried. Alonzo was drafted in this town last summer, and was the only man who went into the army really as a drafted man, the rest going as volunteers in the 2d Veteran Cavalry. He has a brother who is a Lieutenant in the 107th N.Y. regiment, but he could not join his brother's company and was obliged to go into the 97th N.Y. reg't.

The Excise commissioners, of Yates County met and adjourned this year, as usual without granting any Hotel licenses. They have commenced a raid on Saloons and all other places which have violated the law.
Diarrhea and Disentery will decimate the Volunteers far more than the bullets of the enemy, therefore let every man see to it that he carries with him a full supply of HOLLOWAY'S PILLS . – Their use in India and the Crimea saved thousands of British soldiers, If the reader of this "notice" cannot get a box of Pills or Ointment from the drug store in his place, let him write to me, 80 Maiden Lane, enclosing the amount, and I will mail a box free of expense. Many dealers will not keep my medicines on hand because they cannot make so much profit as other persons make. 35 cts 88 cts, and $1.40 per box or pot. 213
Purify, purify, purify the blood with AYER'S SARSAPARILLA, and the humors, derangements and distempers which pervade the system at this season will disappear. We have tried it and speak with knowledge.

REBEL PRISONERS – 766 more rebel prisoners arrived at Elmira on Saturday night last. This makes in all now at Elmira 1,950.
The Elmira Sunday Press has been purchased by F. A. DeVOE & SON of the Gazette, and the two concerns will be consolidated.
LARGE CLIP OF WOOL – Mr. C. W. ROBINSON has sheared from a wether fifteen years old, one hundred and one pounds of wool during the fifteen years. Who can beat this?
BURGLARY – Some person on Saturday night last entered the shop of JOHN TOLES, at Cameron Mills, and stole about $400 worth of leather. No track of the thief or leather has yet been found.
AT HOME – ALANSON STODDARD, of Co. F, 107th Reg't N.Y. Vols., arrived home last week. He was severely wounded in the left fore-arm, in one of the battles under Gen. Sherman, and has had to suffer amputation.
AT HOME – Capt. SANFORD, of Co. G, 2d Veteran New York Cavalry, arrived at home, last week, on sick leave. He has greatly regained his health since he left his command. His company was through the disastrous Red River expedition in Louisiana.
TO BE ENLARGED – The Steuben Courier is to be enlarged in a few weeks. This looks as though there was a liberal patronage bestowed from the citizens of old Steuben. We are glad of it, for the Courier is ably conducted, and should be well sustained.
A CHANGE – The Elmira Advertiser Office has been purchased by Mr. C. G. FAIRMAN and Mr. CALDWELL. The Advertiser is one of the best papers printed in the Western part of New York, and has now attained a large circulation. – Mr. FAIRMAN is one of the ablest Editors of the State and we have no doubt will keep the Advertiser up to the standard.
TERRIBLE R. R. ACCIDENT – A terrible accident occurred on the Erie Railroad on Friday last, near Lackawaxen Station. – A coal train going East, and a train coming West, having on board about 900 Rebel prisoners, came into collission, both trains being under full headway. The Engineers and Firemen on both trains were instantly killed, about 48 of the prisoners were killed and 100 wounded, together with about 17 of the guards killed and 18 wounded. The blame appears to rest upon the telegraph operator at Lackawaxen, and it is said that he knowing he was to blame, left his office and took to the woods and has not been heard of since.
DIED
In this village, on Monday morning, July 17, 1864, GEORGIE, son of GEORGE S. and ELIZA SHEPARD, aged 6 years, 5 months, and 3 days.

J. A. PARSONS
A DESERTER ARRESTED – On Friday night last, a deserter was arrested at the Hotel of PHILLIP BRIGGS, in Cameron. – It is said that he had been at large about fifteen months and supposed the government had forgotten that he owed it any service.

U. S. COLLECTOR'S NOTICE – By reference to our advertising columns it will be seen that U. S. Collector DENTON will be at this place on the 27th, 28th, and 29th of the present month, to collect U. S. taxes. This notice should be read carefully of all and those paying taxes must remember that U. S. currency or the notes of National Banks are all that will be received for taxes.
GONE FOR A 'SOGER' – Another typo has "donned the suit of blue." MELVILLE KINNE, who has been in our employ for the past three years, las locked up his form in a suit of blue and has concluded to try "sogering" for one year. We wish him success in his new enterprise, and may he, with his shooting-stick, be able to deal out to the enemy phat takes of Ieaded-matter and return to his friends, a proud specimen of his country's noble defenders.

A SPLENDID BUILDING – H. W. PERINE, of the Bath 'Excelsior Store' is putting up a magnificent building in Bath, which he will soon occupy as a Store. This will be the finest building in the County and is true evidence of what extensive advertising will do for a business man. There is no merchant in this county who is doing a larger business nor is there one who is less afraid to let the people know that he is doing business.
THE LADY'S FRIEND FOR OCTOBER
"Peep," a beautifully executed steel engraving of a mother and her little girl, opens this number of THE LADY'S FRIEND. The double steel Fashion Plate is also as rich and elegant as usual. Then follow the numerous engravings – some particularly excellent – illustrating the new modes for ladies and children. The music for this number is a new song called "I love thee, dearly love thee" – a popular sentiment, as all will admit. The literary contributions are very attractive. Price $2.50 a year. Address Deacon & Peterson, 319 Walnut Street, Philadelphia.
A COPPERHEAD 'STRAW'. – On Saturday last, while a train on the Old Road was stopping at Cayuga Bridge for refreshments, a party of blatant McClellenanites went through the cars after a 'straw'. Meetig an old gentleman he was asked his preference for President, he named Lincoln. "But" said he, "I have five nephews in the army, who each prefer McClellan." Applause from the Cops followed, when one of them congratulated him upon the choice of his nephews, and said, "Allow me to inquire under what General they are making targets of themselves." Imagine their surprise when the old gentleman answered, "General Robert E. Lee.
A CORRECT VIEW FROM RICHMOND – The rebels appreciate the importance of military successes and defeats, and understand their bearing on the coming campaign. The Examiner, of August 31st says:
If Atlanta were to fall, or Petersburg, or if Sheridan should drive Early back to Lynchburg – or if any one of these events should befall, then all the peace principles and the peace Presidents of Chicago would be at the election next November where last year's snow is, and last night's moonshine. War, for another Presidential term, would sweep away every vestigage of opposition.
Well, Atlanta has fallen, and so good bye to the dream of Peace Presidents.
DIED

War News
During the past week Gen. Sheridan has met with a series of splendid victories in the Shenandoah valley which has placed a wet blanket on all speculators. He has entirely routed the rebel Gen. Carly's army, and captured a large number of prisoners, and from 16 to 20 cannon. This is one of the most complete victories of the war, and will effectually give Gen. Sheridan possession of Lynchburgh, and Gen. Grant another finger on the throat of the rebel armies in Richmond and Petersburg, so that he will soon begin to squeeze.
In 1858, Officer Van Ness, attached to the police force of San Francisco, rescued a man from drowning. The rescued man gave his name as Charles Bernard Egerson, and offered to handsomely reward him, but Mr. Van Ness refused to accept anything for his humane act. A short time since Mr. Egerson died in Liverpool, and left Officer Van Ness a legacy of $50,000.
The bean Sinobe Cedron, a native of Central America, is said to be a specific against the bite of the most venomous reptiles. For venom of a less deadly nature, such as the sting of a bee or wasp, phenic acid is an excellent antidote. This acid is obtained by the decomposition of syrollic acid, salicine and coal, by heat. Applied to the place affected, it immediately stops inflamation and removes the pain.
DIED
In the U.S. General Hospital at Natches, Miss., SYLVESTER LYNCH, of Co. G, 2d N. Y. Cavalry of Chronic Diarrhea, aged 16 years.

THE 107th – This Regiment is now doing Provost duty at Atlanta, Ga.
WE are sorry to learn that Jerry Clarke, of Co. B, 86th Regiment, is now laying at the point of death in one of the Hospitals at Washington.
VOLUNTEERS – Two companies of volunteers left Bath in this county, last week, under command of Captains Rice and Stocum. We believe they were to have left for the front on Monday last.
THE 2nd VET. CAV. – It has been reported that this Regiment was at City Point, on the James River, but we think this must be a mistake, for the last heard from them, they were at Morganzia Bend were doing active duty in that section.
Two bodies have already been taken out of the ruins of the late fire at Elmira, and it is supposed there is one more yet in the ruins, those of a soldier who was assisting in taking out the goods from Mr. Hart's store when the walls fell in.
UNION MASS MEETING – The friends of the Union cause, in Hornellsville, are to have a Grand Mass Meeting, in that village, on Tuesday, Oct. 11th, 1864. Eminent speakers will be present, among them Hon. R. E. FENTON, the Union nominee for governor.
Addison Advertiser November 3, 1864
SAD AND FATAL ACCIDENT – We are sorry to record the death of CHARLES E. KNAPP, of Co. G, 2d Vet. N.Y. Cav., who died at Fort Columbus, Governor's Island, NY. Harbor, on the 26th of October. He enlisted from this town, under the last call of the President. The circumstances connected with his death are these: He and Samuel Kimble were running a foot-race together and Kimble, to get the start of him, tripped him up and in the effort to save himself, it is supposed he ruptured a blood vessel, after which the small pox set in and he died very suddenly. No blame is attached to Kimble, as the act was done in a playful manner, without the least Tho't of such fatal consequences.

A proclamation
It has pleased Almighty God to prolong our National life another year defending us with like guardian care against unfriendly designs from aboard, and vouchsafing to us in His mercy, many and signal victories over the enemy, who is of our own household. It has also pleased our Heavenly Father to favor as well our citizens in their homes as our soldiers in their camps, and our sailors on the rivers and seas, with usual health. He has largely augmented our free population by emancipation and by immigration, while he has opened to us new sources of wealth, and has crowned the labor of our workingmen in every department of industry with abundant reward.
Moreover, He has been pleased to animate and inspire our minds and hearts with fortitude, courage and resolutions sufficient for the great trial of civil war into which we have been brought by our adherence as a nation to the cause of freedom and humanity and to afford to us reasonable hopes of an ultimate and happy deliverance from all our dangers and affections.
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, do hereby appoint and set apart the last Thursday in November next as a day which I desire to be observed by all my fellow citizens, wherever they may then be, a day of thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty God, the beneficent creator and ruler of the universe; and I do further recommend to my fellowcitizens aforesaid that on that occasion they do reverently humble themselves in the dust, and from thence offer up penitent and fervent prayers and supplications to the Great Disposer of Events for a return of the inestimable blessings of peace, union, and harmony throughout the land which it has pleased Him to assign as a dwelling place for ourselves and our posterity throughout all generations.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington, this 20th day of October, in the year of our Lord, 1864, and of the Independence of the United States the eightyninth.

SHERMAN'S MOVEMENTS
It is not contraband now to state that it is known Gen. Sherman will touch at Macon. He has five corps of veteran infantry – the Fourteenth and Twentieth of the Army of the Cumberland, and the fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth of the Army of the Tennessee, consisting in all of over 55, 000 men. He has 9,000 picked cavalry, under Kilpatrick, and has thirty days' rations for man and beast.- He goes finely equipped in every particular. His scout system and courier line is so complete as to guard against the possibility even of a failure. The county through which he goes is abundantly supplied with meats and bread, and is a sandy country, traversed by but few streams. If it rains a week on a stretch, it dries up or soaks down into the clay in a few hours. After arriving at Macon he will probably go to Milledgeville, where he will divide his army, sending a part of it to Savannah, and a part to Augusta. He will fortify the latter place and after receiving supplies up the Savannah River, he will be able to move on to Columbia or Charleston. The programme is carried out successfully, completely demolishes the railroad system of the State of Georgia. The Western and Atlantic running from Chattanooga to Atlanta, one hundred and thirty-eight miles, is almost totally destroyed. It will take a year to rebuild it, with no inconvenience in obtaining iron. The Macon and Western Railroad, running from Atlanta to Macon 105 miles, is entirely destroyed. The Georgia Central Railroad, running from Macon to Savannah, is 191 miles, and this will no doubt receive Sherman's attention in a few days. Mostly all the manufactories for shot, shell, fixed ammunition and cannon are at Macon, Augusta, and Columbia. Half the powder the rebels use is made near Augusta.
If Beaureguard attempts to intercept Sherman, or follow him, he must send his entire army, with all its parpharnalia by rail from Corinth to Meridan. It must then march about 200 miles, with only a short piece of railroad, with no means of trnasportation, running from Uniontown to Selma. By the time Beauregard reaches Macon, Sherman would be out of his reach. Thomas is watching G. P. T. B., and is being heavily reinforced. In a week from now Thomas's army will have 55,000 men, besides A. J. Smith, who is co-operating with an army of observation.
It may be some time before we receive definite intelligence of the progress of his march. The Richmond papers have had very little to say about it, and are evidently not permitted to reveal what they know, for fear of creating a panic in the rebel States.
Brilliant Achievement of a Tuscarora Boy.
We have received the following Order complimentary of Arnold Dickinson of Tuscarora, in this county. Many of our Addison readers remember a widow lady by the name of Dickinson, who lived in this place in the family of Mr. Edward Farnham, some years since, and some will remember her little boy Arnold.
Arnold was bound to Mr. Joseph Oakden, of Tuscarora, and lived with him for several years, and it is probably owing to the sound and correct principles instilled in his mind by Mr. Oakden – that he gives so good an account of himself during his services in the army.

A SHORT HISTORY OF THE SAID ARNOLD DICKINSON
Ever since the outbreak of the rebellion he has been in the contest. When the President called for 75,000 men, he was one of the number to go. On the 22nd of April, 1861, he started to enroll himself as a soldier at Wellsboro,Pa, he did so accordingly – and the next day started for the seat of war. He was engaged in guarding the Cumberland Valley R.R., till the disaster at Bulls Run, Va, then started for Washington, D.C.
On the 27th of July he was musteres into the U.S. service for three years and served until the 22nd of January, 1862, when he became very ill and was returned home. In a short time he regained his health and enlisted for the balance of the 1st New York's time – which was a two year regiment and was through the whole of the Peninsula campaign, with the Army of the Potomac, untill his time was out, the 22nd of April, 1863. Then the whole regiment volunteerd until the seventh of May, (the next month). On the 2d of May they were engaged in the battle of Chancellorville, on the 3d he was wounded and sent with the regiment to New York to be mustered out of the service. He stayed there three weeks and went home to Addison, N.Y. When they were raising the 2d N.Y.V. Cavalry, he enlisted with Capt. H. W. Sandford, Co. G, and went to Saratoga Springs and was mustered in with the regiment, on the 10th of October, 1863, and went from there to Giesboro Point, D.C. and from there to New Orleans, La, and shared in the Red River expedition and disaster. And he has at last distinguished himself as the hero of the regiment.

After thus passing over him, and a trace becoming unhitched, the team made a short circuit and returned, passing with the reaper over the prostrate and already lacerated body a second time. He lingered in great agony till the following morning, when death ended his suffering.
