She has three or four small children, who

she is now helpless for the support Of her
little ones. being sick herself with the same
disease. Her husband has sent her moth
ing since he left her. She has no shoes.
and nothing in her house to keep herself
and children from observation-disclosures.
We are authorised by Mr.. NJ. L. Pelton.
WHOLLY near Mrs. Stevens. TO say that the
above is false in almost every essential par
ticular. In the first place Mr.. Stoves does
not live on the west bank of Pretty Lake.
She hives on the east bank. In the second
place she is not now nor has not been Gin

the contrary tho neighbors are kind and lib

dren with plenty to eat. and keeping her
plenty of wood chopped at her door,
Judge Corse sent man over to her house
Saturday to chop wood for her half a day.
In regard to her having no shoes. Mr.. z.
says he does not know whether she
has any or not. but he never saw her wear
any in the summer time even when her
husband was at home. 1t is true her chill
dren and herself have had the ague. but it
is also true that medical assistance has been
sent to her. What more could be done
Tor her? She admitted to Mr.. p. only a
few days since that she had been as well
provided for since her husband left, as she
had been before.
The object Of the Democrat in publish
ing the above lies was to prevent others
from enlisting. and thus again showed its
cloven feet. The person who furnished
the Democrat with the information upon
which it made the statements, would not,

There are many able bodied men in this
county who are out of employment. and
who can leavehome without inconvenience.
Such men cannot do better for themselves
or their families than to enlist. Liberal
pay is offered. and army arrangements are
such now that the soldiers are well cared
for. This is an excellent opportunity for
many man to make good provision for
himself and family for the coming winter.

Under this head the last Democrat pour

yelled until tired nature gave mp. This
morning there was . good many Of them
on the nick list. but tomorrow morning.
l doubt not. there will be quite decrease.
Mind il the Goth does not prove itself wor-
thy of the otate il represents. Col. Brown
is getting to be liked more and more every
day. The men see now that the discipline
was all for the best. and each dayapent in
drill was as much for their benefit as any
one else's. Our Captain is the best one
in the Regiment. in my opinion He is
kind. sociable and attentiveto the wants
Of his men. Of course such an officer pos.
scsses . brave heart and his men will fol.
low wherever he leads.
When we draw our next uniform it will
be Of the regular army pattern. that is blue
coat and pants. instead Of grey. Grey uni
forms are great humbugs. for the reason
that after one weeks wear they look like
they had been worn six months. and soor
look dirty and ugly. Excuse brevity. ane
believe me. Yours. truly. M. B. M.

OPPosING ENLsyMENTs.-It has been
stated on good authority THAI the secession
sympathizers in this vicinity are using
their influence to prevent enlistments
here. by misreprcsenting the Govern
ment and magnifying the difficulties and
dangers of the soldiers life, they have en-.
deavored to dissnade several who have
shown disposition to enrol their
names. Such conduct as this constitutes
serious offence. and any person who will
thus openly give aid and comfort to the
enemy may find himself considered and
treated as traitor TO his country.
