Letter from Col. Butler TO Gen. Worth.

SAN AUGUsTIN, August 10. 1917.
DEAR GENERAL-We are here in tribulation,
| can but hope, however, it is but temporary.
1t is ordered that this division remain as pro-
lection to the train. There is gloom on us all,
while / am one who believes there will be
fighting enough for all. The moral effect is
whitening. The regiment, though weak innum-
bers, is up to the full point, and trust South
Carolina may have place in the picture. We
have been watching you and your division for
the last two days with fraternal affection; but
the entire voice of the army, where | have
been, or heard, is unbounded confidence in
"Worth." 80 mote it be-" But have stray
ed from the principal point or purpose of my
note, which is to say, our friend Col. Dickin-
son, more impatient, and not so long soldier
as myself, desires place nearer the flashing of
the guns, and with good taste, wishes to get
near you. If you can make him useful, he will
feel much gratifed. | am aware you are sur
rounded with a talented staff, but little more
of good thing will render it not the less COM
plete or effectual.
am, my dear General, yours sincerely.

The JaIapa Star of late date days. at was our mis-
fortune though unintentonally amongst the
omissions that characterized our first ISSUE to do MUS
tce Major General Patterson. OF the volunteer dvl-
report after publicity had been given 10 it,
siby struck with the fact that in speaking OF the opera
lions of Gen. Patterson division somehow or Other
mentioned the names Of brgadiers and left the world in
ignorance as to whether such being major general
existed over them. When like General Patterson
have gone to the field cruches was the case with
him al Vera Cruz and more recently quitting sick bed
at Plan del Rio that he might participate in that action
at Cerro Gordo, which has terminated brilliantly to
our arms that chronicer must be minded indeed
who would withhold from him that need of praise which
his Just due Gen Patterson may be of those who
cares little or nough for such omissions as we acknowl
edge ourselves guilty oor he has earned reputation
that be little affected BY newspaper scrlbbers and,
although acknowledge that this, as well as other
cases. we take blame TO ourselves, STILL do not sup
pose that the subject OF the article the least un

To his excellency the MINISTER OF WAR.

BEAUTIFUL coMpLMENT.--0ne OF the most beauti-
full compliments that we have witnessed took place
at the Orleans Theatre on Tuesday evening During the
performance, Lieut. Col May entered the parquette 1t
was soon whispered about who he was. In few mo-
ments the audience, in Simultaneous movement, eX-
pressed their qualification at the presence OF the colonel
and he who stood firm before the thunders of
and quaed not amid the carnage OF the battles charge,
gave evident signs of uneasness. The flashing of the
bright eyes of beautiful women, and the heartfelt pauds
OF his admrng countrymen constituted attack that he
not altogether accustomed to-and he fairly beat re-
treat, Some friends, however, soon rallied him and
brought him back TO his post perfect furor seemed
to seize the assembly his return, and hundreds OF
boquets showered upon hun by the fair hands OF
the beauties present
The leader OF the archestra became much involved
in the that he entirely forgot his attendance on the
performances of the stage, and Involuntary struck up
% Hail Columbia 1t long time before the audi
became quiet sufficiently 10 allow the actors TO pro-
coed with the piece.
The whole affair was one Of peculiar character, and
never to be forgotten And have doubt that when
ever Mays memory 10 the glorious victories in
which himself bore conspicuous part he will also
remember his reception at the Orleans.

This concession will greatly facilitate the shipping

with unaffected pleasure

OPINIONS OF SLAVERY AT THE
SOUTH,

We have received a letter from a clergy
man in one Of The most remote and inaccessi-
Die Of the slave States, whose we'll known
name, if we were permitted TO publish it.,
would add weight and lmpressiveness TO what
he says, which we cannot deny ourselves the
qualification Of presenting to those who are
waiting for the dawn Of right feelings and
views on this subject at the South. That
there is an under-current OF feeling at the
South such as this letter discloseS, Is Us un-
questionable as it is cheering;
"You know the self-will of dospotism, and
the lorIorn hope Of a disciple OF Christ, in en-
deayoring to turn it from its current. We
may talk of Turkish desPotism as we please,
1t is not more dictatOlial, obstinate, jealous
and tyrannical, than the despotism Of free,
enlightened, Chrisiian ShlrcryH Disguise it
as you will, it is a monster. Some very good
deluded men, (dud | too, once have apollo
gIzed for it; but after all it is, and was, and
ever will be, a sin condemned by God, alb
horred by saints, and Stunned by holy men.
The circumstances If my family seem to re-
quire that | should remain South, though
sometimes ] aliuost resolve 10 leave this re-
g.nn, for fear the smotlered, heaylng volcano
may break forth, and bury in ruin this other
wise lovely land. But there are some bright
strcaks Of hope. The influences Of religion
are gaining ground, and as they gain ground,
masters treat their servants better in dress,
and grant them more Christian privileges
And This is not all owners begin to feel that
slavery is a sin. \ few wicked men, (slaye-
holders,) have said to me at different times,
that they did not see what business Chris
tians had to come here and buy plantations
and negroes, intimating that there Is, in their
estimation, a glaring inconsistency between
religion and slavery. They Justify themselves
IN slavery, because they DO not profess 10
obey the Bible. They say a man cannot do
10 others as he would that they should do to
him, aud hold slaves. But in them this is
only one among all other sins. STANCE rea-
sonlng, but quite as logical as the reasoning
OF professors Of religion, in e]Ncusing and jus
uiylng their continuance in sin. One thing
is evIdent-lhe sin Of slavery is felt more and
more. This should encourage Christians to
pray with fresh earnestness and strength, that
God may pour out upon Us a sPiHt Of judy
ment-a spirit Of burning, that that evil may
be speedily removed. '-.IeV York E1lAse-

Circulate The Documents.

At the last meeting Of the Executive Com
mittee, 1t unanimously resolved to request lis
lecturing agents to make the procuring Of
subscribers to the Bugle, one Of their most
prominent duties.
No paper can be sustained without an I'M
ceasing effort on the part of its friends; and
as this is true of literary, religious, and polit-
ical journals, it is emphatically so of those
devoted to moral reform. Not only is il de-
sirable for the sake of tho Publishers Of the
Dugle that all who wish it well should be
constant in season and out of season to in
crease its subscription list, but the good Of
the cause also demands it. Lecturing on
anti-slavery will call the attention Of the PEG.
pie to the subject, but will not fix it there
unless addresses are as frequent and as reg
ular as church sermons and even then, the
facts necessary to keep one acquainted with
the progress Of the cause, and its present and
future needs, cannot be presented, and with
out such knowledge intelligent action cannot
result. Sectarian bodies understand this
matter, and are as assidious in extending the
circulation of their denominational papers as
in establishing regular preaching.
The Bugle is the only paper west Of the
Alleghenies that advocates Disunion as the
duty of abolitionists, and a remedy for slave
ry and we would therefore impress upon all
the Western friends of this measure the i'm
p%ortance of circulating the paper as widely
as possible. 1t has now nearly completed its
End volume, and we feel well assured it
could enter upon its Sd year with an addition
of five hundred names 10 its subscription list,
if its friends for three weeks to come, would
exert themselves half as much to ascertain
who of their neighbors can be prevailed up
on to take it, as they did to learn who paid
the best prices for %grain-if they are half as
diligent in striving to procure subscribers,
as they were in disposing to profit of the con-
tents Of their granaries. Friends, will you
not try : Let US have a good report Of your
labors before the close Of the present vol
ume.
