LATEST FROM THE ARMY

Lieut.. Lee Of the 9Th Infantry. who arrived
this afternoon direct from the Army informs us
that Gen. Worth. with his brigade, was on his
way to China. 90 miles beyond Camarpo This
town is an important depot. IL being a military
post of the enemy. There is no doubt of the
town being. at this time. in possession of the
American forces. All the regular troops. with
the exception OF Mays Dragons. and Ridgley's
Battery,) numbering from TO 1000, are at Ca.
margo.
Gen. TAYLOR is now at Camargo. II is sup
posed that he will proceed to Monterey with 6OOO
men. and The impression prevails that the enemv
will give him fight at defile between Monte
rey and Salto. We are requested to state that
there has been no meeting between the Camanches
and the Texas Rangers, as stated in the Ma,amo-
ras papers of the 9Th inst Charleston Ne,cs

A NICE QUESTION.

Boston journal relates an anecdote of very
pious Presbyterian divine, who used always to say
when he met the General Assembly at his church
-" Now, dear brethren, how near come
to doing what Is right, and keep together" A
poor editor may as well say, every day, when he
sits down to his task Now my dear skin aud
bones, how much truth can we say and live2"
We have felt and are even now experiencing,
the truth of this little paragraph. We have al
most forsworn editing political newspaper from
the fact that the truth must not be spoken about
our friends, no matter what we may say of our
enemies. These friends get along quietly enough,
while you are praising them, whether they de-
serve it or not but they never think of acknowl
edging the favor-but let the shoe pinch them,
let the truth roll out against them. gingerly as
it may, with all the grace that Gil Bias used to
the Bishop, and then the press is recollected with
fierce denuncation and charged with the blacklist
ingratitude, when, God knows, it has never re-
ceived, but conferred the most lasting benefits
upon them.-.Ne,c Era

WIN. NJ. PRICE, ESQ. AND HIS CRED.
IrORS


The following is a correct copy of the le,,e,
found on the person of William NJ Price direct
cd to his creditors. at the time of his death.
TO my Creditors.-Many Of you having in
CURED at me how had disposed of the LARGE ma l.
rimonial estate TO which was entitled umn the
death OF my father and my brothers, now con-
slider myself bound to state the very truth in re-
lation tn it.
Abou, the year 1916. I became an endorser of
notes 10 very large amount. ts* RI hadl
loaned 10 me about eight Thousand dollars. /
was released OF portion of my liability and
Mr.. - obtained from me conveyance of nv
own estate in fee and leasehoId, as security for
his advance. He has, since that advance given
to me at different times up to July last, (when
he handed me thirty dollars.) altogether not ex-
ceeeding $4,000. making in the whole about 81 =
OOO. He prevailed upon me from time to time
prior to the death of my brother Stephen, to CON
vey to him not only the estate which, by the will
ct my father, | would have upon his death. but
all the estate which might come to Inc upon the
death of either of my brothers. These convey
ances so made to him are all on record thew are
absolute on the face of them; bnt he gave me in
exchange for them the most solemn pledge that
he would do what was right. He still has the
greater portion of this large estate-he did not
acquire it by dealing in stocks He has realized
from its possession thus acquired. more Than one
hundred thousand dollars. He absolutely refuses
to give me another cent, and fear has driven to
fatal despair your unfortunate debtor,
WILLIAM M. PRICE.
The name of the person alluded 10 in the
above we withhold from the pubic-it is pruba-
bly, already well known
We take the above from the Philadelphia
, Ledger. There is something very strange, not
only in the death of Mr. Price, but also in his
poverty. This individual, it will be recolIected

Swarwout, in his defalcations, and left this cour

District Attorney, for the Southern District of

the Government to the amount of some 500 .OOO
He returned home some short time afterwa rds.
but how the matter was settled we have foroot
ten. He is now dead, by his own hand, and we
learn he has died poor, robbed by some one who
has evidently taken advantage of his confidence
The press has thought proper to withhold the
name of that individual, while it publishes the
letter, thus throwing suspicion upon many in
nocent mon. We protest, as we have always
protested, against this emasculaticn of PAPERS and
filling the blanks with stars and dashes. Give
us the name of the individual as Price put it
down in his final notice to his creditors.

the name of pVruiam Bradford, who married M ,.'
