Spouse officially, and in good faith, it did not
occur to me that my veraclty would be impugn-

Blankets for Soldiers.

There is certainty that the
supply of blankets in the Northern
cities and towns is exhausted, and
that the woolen mills Of the
Southern Confederacy will be un-
able to supply the great demand
Of the ensuing twelve months.
In view of these facts, now is the
time to be casting about to fur
nish our brave volunteers with
this indispensable article when
cold weather shall set in. How
shall it be done? The Iredcll.
n. c., Express answers in this
way:
Every family in The South, the
wealthy especially, have more OF
less blankets; let these be appro.
priated by sale or donation 70,
the soldiers, and the families sup.
ply themselves with comfoyters
which can Ike made Of cotton
and any kind Of thin material
OF which there is abundance q
time till cold weather. The "com
forter" is an admirable covering
nothing can be better, and tbs
South supplies the very article
OF which TO manufacture them
to any extent, and any little
girl can put them together, the
cost being one-fourth that O
blankets. But the blanket i,
better suited for the use Of the
soldier, because when wet it is
notso heavy and can be dried much
easier.
Let families in the South at
tend to this in due time, for We
know 10 other method by which
blankets can be.procured.

ANDREW JOHNSON.

The proceedings Of the FEEDER
al Senate show that Andrew John
son has introduced bill looking to
the transportation Of arms and mu-
nitions of war to East Tennessee.
He seems determined to seek ev-
cry means to force the honest and
patriotic masses Of that division
of the State into position which
must not only be revolving to
them, if correctly viewed, but
which must, if persisted in, bring
upon them inevitable disaster and
ruin. We cannot believe that
any respectable number OF them
can be much longer deluded into
the support of a man whose pur-
poses are supremely selfish-who
cares not for their welfare, SO
that his own ends are accom-
plished, and who would build up
his own political fortunes upon
the ruin of all their dearest inter
ests.

The Fight at Bulls Run.
Among the MANY incidents

Among the many incidents re-
lated Of the affair, is one Of this
character, and it fairly illustrates
the military spirit Of the whole
army. Connected with the Sew
Ienteenth Virginia Regiment is q
little fifteen year old, named Ella
renee Carey, Of Alexandra. His
position in the regiment is that
lof marker" and he was supposed
to be of no more use upon q
battle field than q brass band in
| a meeting house. The Colonel
accordingly ordered him to go to
the hospital and remain there I'M
/ til the fight was over. The lit
| tie fellow had no such insignifi-
Icant idea of himself, however, and
as soon as the Colonel's back was
turned, off he went fer bis mus
ket, and was soon in the fight.
The result of his craftsmanship
is said to have been one dead
Yankee, and one winged
Another little chap-a drum
mer from Lynchburg-not much
more than a yard high, hurried
to the field, as soon after the bat
tie as he could, to get gun and
irevolver, but unfortunately was
too late, and his only trophy was
an odd looking knife with a buck
horn handle. He said be exam
lined the clothing Of a dozen OF
] fifteen, to see if couldn't make q
''raise," but an emptier set of peck
cts he don't believe it possible
to exist. The only production
out Of the whole number, was q
due bill for. seven dollars and q
half from cne Dutchman to en-
iother.
! The incident is related also.
! that during the fight negro from
Lynehburg named Dick Langhorn,
belonging to one cf the officers Of a
Virginia regiment, shot one Of the
Yankees III the shoulder, and
/ knocked down another who was
accompanying him with his re-
,volver. AS they rose from the
ground the ebony patriot brought
his pistol to bear the second time,
accompanied with the very philo-
sophical remark: Berry sorry to
hurt you, massa, hut de fac am, dis

our hope that the provost Marshal

hang both Lee and Beauregard in
the full sight of those advancing

The earliest duty the Provost
Marshal had to do was to endeavor
to restrain his vandal soldiers from
perpetrating outrages upon unof

next was to follow them. in their
precipitate fight back to the Po-
