FROM THE ARMY.

We have been politely furnished with
letter from Mr.. JonN T. HUonEs, of Don.
iphan's regiment, to his brother in this
county, from which we make the following
extracts. The letter is dated,
SALrILLo, April 4, 1917.
am now in Saltilo, the capitol OIL
the State of Coahula. am in Gen. Tdylo S
and Wool's camp and will tell you how came
here. Col. Doniphan determined after the battle
Of Sacramento, to send an express to Gen
Wool; myself and thirteen other men volun
teered our services TO bear his express. We left
chihuahua on the 20h March and arrived here
on the I'd Of April, ID days, distance OF neal
600 miles through the enemy's country. We
had to travel all the way in the night, over noun
tains and deserts-through thorns and prickly
pear bushes. We passed the following route
from chihuahua to Santa Rosaia thence tc
Guaiasuills, thence 10 Malpmi in Durango
thence 10 San Sebastian, on the Rio Nasus
thence 10 Parras and thence to Ssltilo. At San
Sebastian an attempt was made to take US pris
OUtIs. DOn lSHdt'uo cCiuiuuVh toio 10 HO Ho'
orders to stop us and make prisoners Of US ant
take US to Durango. We told him if he wanted
US TO take US He and about 100 men deman
ded Of us our passports. We showed them GU
rifles and holsters-these are the passports o
American citizens. They followed US rs miles
meditatng an attack, but finally left US and W
got here safely.
We will start back shortly. think Gen
Wool will order Col. Doniphan to join hin
with all his force. Gen. Wool has sent Dom
phan's dispatches TO Gen. Taylor. at Monterey
10 have his advice on the subject.
This is a large city--a little larger than CHI
huahua, but not so fine. 1t contains magnif
cent church and its population is near 80, 900.

men OF all parties, and some from all sections,
are rushing TO the standard OF their county; Inc

We have said before, that We did no, desire TO

many Of our Wing friends did, that parry feeling

Col. Baker, Of Illinois, that there should be no

Whilst The Wing engages itself so busily in
tanning Democratic communities with not fur
nishng their proper quo'as Tor the war, il might
as we'll recollec that the hes. positions in The re-
simenl are held by Wings. Bo'h The Colonel and
The Major (who are indebted TO The libera!ity Of
Democratic Governor and Council for their ar-
poin,mens) are Wings. So is The Adjulant. The
"la offices" are nearly all held by men OF that
party. Not so, however, in The ranks. Go there,
and Democrats will be found plentulas the Wing
itself can desire. The Berkeley company, COM

ponderaling influence, is composed almost entire

there are bu, five Wings in it. The Augusta

Land Agencies and their Costs.

In the Supplement accompanying this paper we
give place to the statement Of Messrs Redheld
Prngle. Land Agents at Batavia, who deem them
selves plainly and unmistaksbly implicated by the
charges of Old Genesee.' We trust our readers
will carefully peruse it, note wherein it meets, and
wherein If snywhere it fails to meet the charges
1t controverts and give due weight to the evidence
appended. We understand it 20 be settled that
Messrs r. 4 P. have not foreclosed many mortgages
by the cheaper Advertising way in addition to those
they have foreclosed in Chancey. so that, if Old
Gesesee intended to charge them with so doing
be must have been misled by having the mortgage
suits in Chancery returned to him as suits at Law,
and so counted twice in his aggregates OF suits
brought and costs created If Old Genesee wish
&c To prosecute the matter farther It is now requi
site that he should sustain his charges by positive
testimony, and We shall await the production OF this
before indulging in farther remarks, save to ask
every reader to consider the bearing Of zoe facts
elected on the general subject Of Land Agerega'
ton. and the cesson or sale of wild land IN vast
tracts TO individuals or companies This is the
only light in which this controversy can be regarded
as Of general interest Whether Msssrs r. L P.
have been exorbisant or sorbssring-have made
wanton and heavy costs, or have forborne charges
which they might have fairly msde--it seems very
clear 10 us that they clothed with tremendous
power over the prosperity and happiness Of a vast
community and that such power cannot exist with.
out extreme danger Of it's abuse. ls not this so 7
