Mr.. Pecples-The Star.

| We copy the following article from the American
Star Of the Both ult., which will no doubt be Of In
terest to our readers. We can scarcely award too
much praise to Mr.. Peoples for the enterprise which
he has displayed throughout the war now sohappily
terminated. The Press, at all times valuable en-
CINE for the dissemination of knowledge has in his
hands been rendered doubly so for he has, by con-
tinuing with the army, and always issuing in his
paper the latest information of the glorious events of
the war; more than any else contributed to keep
the public informed of the operations of forces.
On this account, the history of the war will be
much better understood, and misrepresentation less
likely to go uncontradicted.
