Our Army, e5c.-The following ex.
tracts OF a letter from gentleman at Baton
Rouge to his friend in Baltimore, have
been obligingly communicated BY the lat
ter, as were other extracts sometime ago
OF letter from the same gentleman. The
picture here drawn of General Wade Hamb-
ton ought either to effect the execration of
him, or of the writer. IF the account be
true, (and we have no reason TO mistrust a
particle ofit,) Hampton ought to be dis
missed if untrue, the writer cannot be
too severely punished.
Baton Rouge, March 7th, 1911.
Let me correct mistake in my last of
the a7sh ultimo, from the Mississippi Ter.
ritory. Hampton has not appointed Oar.
rington inspector of brigade. He attend.
ed the general on his return to his duty.
and the appointment was reported, but it
appears he has given this Office to Lieut..
Gibson, of the light artillery. who is a
most worthy man and bears the character
of srst rate officer.
Here follows some low abuse of Mr..
Daniel Clark, who having been instrumen.
tai in exposing General Wilkinson can ne.
yer be forgiven by the Wing man or his

As soon as it was known that Mr.. Jackson was
coming to this country, to attempt negotiation with
our government the democratic papers began to
throw obstacles in the way such negotiation Their
papers teemed with abuse of Mr.. Jackson and the
British nation, and they never ceased insulting him
and his government while he remained in the couu-
try On the information that another minister is to
be sent from Great Britain to this country the demo-
cratic papers have again opened their batteries, as
will appear from the following,

has accordingly taken ground from which

national disgrace.
We shall not recur to the fu,ilisy Of nego-

our government. That arrangement s,ipu-

but it was nevertheless rejected by Great
Britain, after it had been In good faith, and,
even In adocnce, carried into effect by our
government. BY that agreement, ii ithad

at an end so long as the Berlin and Milan

We understand, from uuquescionable
authority, that Andrew Ellicott, Esq. of
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, has been ap.
pointed commissioner to determine the
boundary between the states of Georgia
and ". Carolina.
The distinguished character which Mr..
Elhcott justly holds with gentlemen OF
science both in Europe and America, as an
ingenious and accurate mathematician and
astronomer, leaves but little doubt that
the dispute between the two states will
now be finally settled to the full sasisfae-
ton of both parties.
