that he had "heard it reported that East Tennes-

REPENTAYT YANKEE.-An Ohio paper
gives an account of the suici6e Of a man named
David Lamb who recently cut his throat with
razor, in consequence Of his conviction that the
political course he had pursued was one of the
causes Of the present war. He had voted with
the radical Abolition party and aided, as he sap
posed, in bringing the country into trouble The
weight of his crime pressed upon his conSo &C.
that he was constrained, ike Judas, TO take his
own life Il would be an ncslculable blessing to
the world if few thousand of that pesulent party
could be so soreiy conscence-stricken to induce

however, that the good example of this repentan1

ARMY LETTERS

As matter of general interest TO those having
friends II tFe army We publish the following
directions Of Col W. Z. NJ. Word, especial agent
of the Post Office Department:
As there are large number of letters addressed
TO soldiers, which cannot be delivered for want OF
nroper directions, and which sent quarterly to
the dead Letter Office" for distribution, l pro
pose fer the benefit of the soldier and his friends
that hereafter all letters sent to soldiers should
he addressed 20 the care of the regiment ana
eon3 any of which he is a member, and always
bear the number and the name OF the State 10
which the regiment belongs. BY 2uraulng these
directions, letters will be certain to reach tile
parties to whom they are addressed, II they are
living Under the present arrangement, private
soldiers hardly have an opportunity to visit the
post Office near which the army may be located,
consequently they have to rely upon the Army
Nail Messengers for their letters aud as it Is I'M
possible for them to recollect all the names OF
persons who may compose regiment or brigade,
the letters are never delivered unless the number
Of the regiment and the State to which it belongs
IL GU the direction.
Attention to this recommendation will obVlate
another cause ior the non delivery OF letters
When soldier lie sicG Ia hospital the friend III
the sick soldier generally directs the letter to the
care Of the hospital IN which he is first taken
sick, and in great many cases tue so.dIer Is
either rent to another hospital gets we'll and Is
sent back to his regiment before the letter arrives
at the hospital from whence he had written Con-
seque4ty, the letter cannot be forwarded to hun,
because The number OF his regiment is not on the
direction. The Number Of the regiment, and the
,Stote from whence it comes, should always be put
on the direction of such letter, and then 1t can
be forwarded to his regiment free of postage II nc
has left the hospital A large number of such
letters are now at the hospital Of Camp Winder,
and the various post Offices in Virginia, where
hospitals have been established, which cana9t be
delivered for the want Of proper direction.
a very large lumber of unpaid letters are sow
franked from one soldier to another, and as the
army Mail Messengers frequently refuse to
take those letters from the post Office, upon the
plea that the soldiers will not refund him the
money, those letters are sent to the Dead Letter
Office. In eight weeks, nearly seven thousand OF
such unpaid tranked letters were sent back from
the Winchester post Office alone. If you want
the soldier to get his letter, always prepay the
postage
The Post Office Department is doing everything
in its power to deliver sUliiers letters aud II is
only necessary to observe the above Suggestions
in order to insure their delivery.

SMALL POx-There are several cases Of small

into the re ghtorhood By soldier who contracted
the disease in some of the Camps in Virginia. So
far there has Teen one death, but whether caused
wholly or only in part BY this disease, is matter
Of doubt. We would advise general vaccination
as the only means of preventing the spread of this
loathsomo disease all over the country. We have
heard Its appearance near Healing Springs, in
Davidson County, and again three miles from
4Iedgevie in Montgomery County. 1t is also
reported in many other parts of the country, but
with What truth we do not know 1t is sufficient
for Us to know that sick soldiers returning from.
infected camps are sure to bring the disease with
them. Let all, then, be vaccinatcd IS soon as
possible; with this prccaution there will not be
much. .ear.-Salisbmy Hatchman.
