AN UNGRATEFUL HOTEL CLERK - The
Henris House Robbed of $8O0.-Day be-
fore yesterday, George Stetter, well known
by residents of the city and visitors from
abroad, as the recent clerk of the Hen
rie House in this city, absconded, taking
with him $500 of the funds of his employer,
Mr.. James Watson. The full particulars of
the case are these George Stetter came to
Mr.. Watson, several years ago, poor, home
less, ignorant youth, and was employed as
porter. Shortly afterward she commended
himself particular to the notice of his EN-
ployer as an honest boy, by giving up a
pocket book containing $50, which he had
found.
From that time till the present he had
been trusted to all the funds of the house,
and was treated as a confidential friend OF
the proprietor, being elevated to the position
of clerk. Lately, however, he had, unknown
to his employer, become involved in lottery
speculations, by which it is now ascertained
he was reduced to the necessity of obtaining
money in some manner. He took, in ad-
dition to the amount mentioned, about $3.50
which had been deposited for safe keeping
by boarders at the hotel. This Mr.. Watson
has promptly paid the men, thus throwing
the entire loss, of nearly $1,000, upon him
self. Persons knowing this man, will
should they see him, confer favor and SO
cure liberal reward by procuring hi

ILLNESS AMONG THE SOUTHERN TRooPs.-A
correspondent of the Memphis Appeal, R. S.
Alternately, Captain of Company G, Nine
teenth Mississippi Regiment says, under
date of Richmond, August "a:
Since we pitched our camp here, gloom
and sorrow have saddened the countensnces
of all, owing to the distressing fact that dis
ease and death have prevailed among US.
Our exposed condition during our camp on
Bull Run, and the want of proper food and
water, was serious blow to this regiment,
and TO all the troops that were likewise un-
fortunate. In proof of this | will mention
| that out of forty. seven hundred in the brig
ade, cnly twenty-three hundred reported for
| dutyon the Goth inst, and companies that be-
| fore ordinarily turned out on drill and parade
| from sixty-fve to ninety men, do not now
| turn out more than eight and ten files per
| day. The hardships and suffering conse-
| quent upon the movement of General john
| ston's division of the army, which resulted in
| such glorious success TO our cause at Man.
assss, has, dare say, prostrated fully one"
third of his force. Nearly every day the
sound of musketry proclaims the death OF
some Southern hero who has fallen victim
TO disease in camp, and over whose grave
blank cartridges are fred as the last military
| honor paid to the dead. But | am happy TO
state that timely improvement in the
weather, which has been excessively cloudy
| and rainy, has brought with it marked
| change in our health.
