LIEUT.. Cor. CuRfrs, Of the Rhode Island
Fourth regiment, who wss killed In 1he battle
Of Saturday, ct Fredericksburg, was spon Of
the iate George Cnris, formerly president Of
the Continental Bank, New York, and brother
Of George william Curtis, the lecturer and an
thor. k.
TEE SECOND UNrrARIks CHURCH, Of Brook
lyn, New York, contributed, on Sunday lest,
seven hundred and any dollars to the funds Of
the Sanitary Commission. This society had a
short time previously contributed . large sum
to buy clothing for the soldiers In the field.
GovxRNoR JoHS LErcHsR, Of Virginia, denies
In the Richmond WAig having had any corre-
spondence with the rotorious Fernando Wood.
Letcher says that he docs not know wood-never
had any correspondence with him, either d.
rectly or indirectly.
There is this difference between Northern
and Southern traitors: tho Northern trailer
boasts Of having had correspondence with his
Southern brother In crime, whether he has or
not. He thinks II On honor to have Il under
stood that he isin communication with the con-
spirstors; while the Bouthern traitor to the
Government of the United States dare not have
It evep suspected that he holds intercourse with
snybsdy In the North who favors reconstruc-
tios. Marx the contrast in the two sections!
Governor Letcher processes great horror at
what he alleges to be the violation Of tho Con.
stltution Of the United States by Mr.. Lincoln's
Administration. PerjuIsr that he Is, he ignores
tho fsct that he and all the rebel horde arr
trsn,pling upon the Constitution. To whom
will Mr.. Fernando Wood appeal ncIti
GOVERNOR srASLr has issued q proclamation
ordering an election for representatives to the
3Tth Congress In the second district Of that
State, to take place on lst January.
The district Ia composed Of the counties Of
Hyde, Beaufort, Pitt, Craven, Jones, Lenoir,
Wayne, Green, Edgecombe, Onslow. and Car
tcret.
SoME NEWSPAPERS In the South are printed
on the blank side Of room paper. This, we
presume, Is wfnt ls meant by "driving them to
the wall"
ARrEMAs WooD Is delivering q lecture In
some Of the cities Of the North entitled, "Si1ty
Minutes In Africa" Artemas Is something Of
q sell, and IA about played out.
GEs. Banks expedition, 1t Ia now said, has
landed in North Csrollns. This may or may
not be true.
Gks. RosHcaAss' army Is said to be moving
for Knoxville and Chattanooga. This may be
the reason for Ieff. Davis reported visit TO East
Tennessee.
THE New York Eliress says that J. Wesley
Green got 500 out OF President Lincoln. We
doubt Il.
The NEW YoRE EIPREss rejoices In the fact
(Which ia no fsct) that General Banks has gone
to the Gnlf 10 relieve General Butler. The Er.
press opposes General Buties because hehss not
sided with traitors, and has not been In favor
of breaking up the Union, nor Of submitting
TO Southern rule or ruin, ss the Express has.
This accounts for the milk In the cocosnut.
| A New YoRx PAPER mskes 9 statement that
\ there was colored man, by the name of Ste
phens, confined at Fort Lafayette; that he wrote
to Washington, and was Immediately released
because he vas negrol There have been q
good many white men imprisoned in this fort,
and, on wridng u Washington, they have beer
released. We suppose II Is because they wert
white men. Why mott That Is the logic o
our cotemporsry.
We woULD CALL ATTENTION to our full re-
report, on the fret page, OF the eloquent re
marks Of Mr. Cough, made at the conclusion
of his lecture on Monday evening last.
