To the Alexandria Independent Tolunteers.
II having become evident, not only that We
are deserted by our Field officers, but that they
have lost all interest in the welfare of the voun
teer companies, would ask, can you, as free
men, tamely submit longer to be forced, not on
W do all the military duty prescribed by law,
but as has been the case in the time of danger,
10 take your lives in your hands and your mus
Sets on your shoulders, and parade the streets
Incidence ofthe lives, families, and property Of
the common militia, while they are comfortably
resting at home with their families, secure from
duty, danger and fatigue? Ifyou are, be it so:
out Tor one, am not nor do believe you are.
therefore, let meeting Of the company be
called, and let us cease longer to be volunteer
company belonging to the Regiment
nave no objection to our existence as vo-
Iunteer company,-but let us be volunteers,
mastering IN our own time; and when we mus
@r oy law, let us muster as other militia do.
Tor one, think it expedent that we should
nave well organized militia; but have no
uea mat men who volunteer at fifteen or twen-
dollars expense for their own benefit, should
~ compelled to do all the duty.

WASHINGTON Cry, Oct. II, 1884.
Dear Sir:-I have just seen the gentleman
who first informed me of the enormous frauds
lately discovered on the part of Judge Temple,
of Vermont; and it appers that the unfortunate
man committed suicide, under the following
circumstances. He was in the habit of going to
the Post Office at Rutland for his letters, and
finding one there addressed to Judge -,
dated at Washington, he took it out of the Post
Office and told the Post Master he would give
it to the Judge, as he was going to see him. In
stead Of doing so, the unfortunate man broke
open the letter-and, finding it was an order
from the Department for his arrest, he secretly
took his gun, went into the stable, and shot him
self through the heart. This statement, think,
may be relied on. Capt. Beall, who accompa-
MED Mr.. Ella, the Messenger, sent to arrest the
unfortunate Judge is returned to the city.

We are glad to perceive that the Boston
Commercial Gazette" hitherto partial supper
ter of the administration, came out on Thurs
day with declaration that it could no longer
withhold its disapprobation of the measures of
the government, and that it shall hereafter
"gye decided, manly, but temperate support
to the principles of the Wing party-or at least
to such of them as we shall consider beneficial
10 the great interests Of the country. Towards
Mr.. Van Buren,, who is to be the candidate of
the administration party for the Presidency,
1.-THE editors say,) We have ever entertained an
unuualiied dislike; and in the coming contest
therefore, this Gazette will be found in the ranks
opposed to the advancement of that gentle
man,
