A few days since gentleman between this place
and Louisville received private letter from mem
her of the bogus Legislature at Frankfort, in
which il was stated that the Louisville Journal had
been suppressed" by the Lincoln authorities. This
reDort was not true, but il doubtless grew out of
the fact that the Federal authorities had the JouT
mrs case under consideration and that its publishers
had been notified that change in its course was
necessary TO insure Its continuance. We have seen
SEVERAL gentlemen from Louisville recently, and we
have been informed upon authority that We regard

Carr HEEE-The 24th Mississippi Regiment Is
now encamped near Sava enah. The Republican Of
that city, thus refers to al incident in tie history
Of this regiment, bringing to view one of those
bic spirits who has enlisted in all respects in which
woman can, in the service Of her country
It was our pleasure to visit the encampment a
few days age and 70 be present when the frat regi-
mental order was read, at the close of the dress
parade. Among other things, it was announced
that the locality occupied by the troops was to be
known in future as Camp Helen," at the sound Of
which name every eye seemed to sparkle and ewes
Fy heart to beat strongly. We felt an interest to
know the history of the name, and upon Inquiry Of
gallant commander Of one of the companies, VIC
learned the story. Il was named in honor of Miss
Helen s. johnson, young, wealthy and (of eourse)
beautifu lady of Madison county, Mississippi, who
had taken great interest in the organization of the
regiment, and, at an expense of several thousand
dollars, had herself equipped and fitted out one of
the companies which compose it 1t has been called
in honor of hertLe Helen Johnson Guards, and is
commanded by Capt E. G. Postell, who is both
clever, as gentleman, and brave as a soldier If
that company finches, with such patron, every
man of 1t should be drawn and quarteredl But we
have no fears on that score.
Besides this and numerous other liberal contri-
buttons to the regiments of her State now in the
formed two entire companies in the State of Nilsson
ri. What cause can languish with such supporters
to upholdit?
We hear Miss johnson viii probably visit Savan
nah to look after her regiment before the close OF
the winter. We hope she viii, and hereby promise
her cordial reception by host of friends, both
in and outside of the camp. a-a .se
