EnlTeR GATE CITY Dear Sir: In
your issue Of the Esd instant see letter
from Mr.. j ~ Hitler, in which he gives
an account Of the murder Of Mr. VIM.
Howard, of Scotland county, No, by a
band of "seccssionists;" and the reason as
signed for the murder by Mr. Hitler is,
that Howard was Union man. Permit
me, sir, to inform the public through your
columns that Mr.. Killers statement, ex-
cept as to the Simple fact of tho murder of
Mr.. Howard, is wholly destitute of truth.
Mr.. Howard, the murdered man, was well
known to be an uncompromising States
Rights or Southern man, and If murdered
on account of his political opinions, the
outrage must have been committed by
some irresponsible band Of Union men -
In fact, | am credibly informed by citi-
zens of Upton, that party of five or six
protested "Union men left that place on
the evening before Towards abduction
aud murder, and said they were going to
Howard neighborhood ON 'scout -
Circumstances point to these men as the
probable murderers Of the unfortunate
Howard Mr.. Howard was most csti-
mable man, and his foul murder is greatly
regretted by good men of all parties.
If a 1.-THE of the reports circulated with
regard to the alleged outrages Of the 'sse-
cessionists las all who oppose the war
policy of the Administration are called
are true, they have quite as many of their
own sins as they can conveniently bear, with

the acts of so-caled "Union men" Hence

THE WOUNDED SENT TO THE HospI-

prevalent on the streets yesterday grew
out Of the fact that the wounded Of the

Our cavalry companies in Missouri have
bad no engagements with the enemy, so
far as we know, and at our last advices,
they were all safe and well.

New York, Sept. Is.

General Fremont, a day or two since,
made requisitlon OF $500, 900 to be paid
immediately on account Of purchases of
ordnance and ordnance stores in Saint
Louis. Colonel Ripley specially reported
to day upon this application, LIST, that
no authority whatever was given in the
ordnance bureau for Gen Fremont ma
king the purchase; I'd, that vouchers ac-
companying the application show that ex-
ccsslve prices were paid for many of the
articles. There is no evidence from Gen
Fremont's command that these arms have
undergone inspection By United States
oihcer or any inspection at all. Finally
General Ripley reports that unless pur-
ehases and expenditures like those of Gen.
Fremouts are regulated and restricted by
the War Department, the liberal appro-
prlatlons of Congresa will be wholly in

be rolled up against Government

The steamer Delaware arrived at the

Marines from Philadelphia. The Captain
reports the battery at Freestone Point was
unmasked when he pass it this morning
the woods having been all cleared way and
that it opened on him, firing abou, seven
shots, none of which took effect They
were all good line shots, but fell short or
went oyer-two just grazed his deck
Capt. Cannon says about fifty vessels pass
ed the battery, up and down, but none
We're fred at except the Delaware. From
the declarations of rebel officer, he ascer-
tanned that the battery at Freestone Point
is commanded by II j. Hartstein former
~ commander in the United States Ma
w, and that there are batteries on the
Virginia side of the Potomac, every two
and half miles, from Ocaguon to Mat
thlas Point. The river is now considered
by naval officers as efcctually closed. Our
Potomac fotila is insufficient to clear it of
the numerous batteries upon It's banks
4 land force is indispensibly necessary and
it is believed that within a few DAYS, per-
haps a few hours, the rebels will attempt
to cross the lower Potomac into MARYLAND.
They will meet a warm rcce{ ton, but it
may be necessary to strengthen our forces
In that direction.
