BeA- We publish in another place, a
card from Captain Gaines, in which he
complains of an item which appeared in
our columns on the 7th inst, and which
he is pleased to term scurrilous.
He acknowledges most of the charges
therein set forth, the only one denied be-
ing that in relation to his neglect of his
own men,
He closes by some very kind advice to
editors +r
We had our information as to the
specifications in the item from some OF
our most reliable citizens, and only
meant to express the fact that some OF
our citizens were indignant at what they
considered too much tenderness towards
rebel prisoners. We know nothing OF
the matter further than that the prisoners
were kept at the Washington House.
We give Capt Gaines the benefit Of
his explanation. --

MuRDER-On Wednesday night very
unfortunate affair transpired on the picket
line of the 65th Regiment, near Hender-
son.
Two men named Samuel Taylor and
Smiley Craig, of Co. FL, while out on
picket duty, got to scuffling about some
trivial matter, when another picket re-
marked that they had better stop their
nonsense, whereupon Craig seized his
gun, remarking that he would stop the
nonsense, and deliberately shot Taylor,
killing him instantly. Craig was arrested
yesterday morning, and is now confined
in the guard house, awaiting trial.
Taylor was from Warrick county, we
believe, and Craig from Crab Orchard
Ky. Taylor's body was brought here

Working Of tle Reformed County Government.

Judging from The columns Of the Rich
land County Observer, the Supervisors Of
that county have been 10 session much Of
the time since they came into Office; and
when not 10 regular session they have been
represented IN committee Of the whole, to
olk between times. The committee APP
pointed to investigate the doings Of Dir.
A. r. Bush, ex-treasurer Of That county, re-
ported a balance Of near 1900 against
him not accounted for, which amount he
appears TO have since paid. Whereupon a
committee was appointed to investigate the
action Of previous investigating commit
Tee, which latter committee seem TO have
done their utmost to clear said A. r. Bush
ofthe charge Of doing any wrong. He
was 10 the habit Of dividing the so aud l60
acre tracts up into 4os and then making
out sale certificates on the same, charging
% cents fees en- each certificate and also
25 cents advertising fee, pocketing the diff
ference. The whitewashing committee, re-
ported that the county was not wronged
by the operation therefore, it was none
of their business, as the owners of land
would have to pay these small stealings.-
This Bush being republican, the demo-
Gratis desired his conduct investigated, but
for this very reason the republicans appoint
ed a committee to whitewash and clear
him. Bush is no doubt a rogue, and the
first duty of the republicans was TO convict
him if possible. When party fails to
possess vitality and moral principle el ough
to purge itself then it fails of any useful
ness and Dug % perish. Mr.. Brimer, al
so an ex-treas er of that county, has been
called on to appear and re-settle but he
refuses. His doings are represented as in
a worse condition than those Of Bush. The
nonresident owners Of lands in that county
are refusing to pay tax arrears and mean
to commence suits upon the plea that none
of the tax certificates ofany treasurer are
legal. 1t appears that the Town Treasuers
never returned their books with warrants,
but with only lists Of delinquent lands
made out on slips Of paper. This is plain
violation of law, and it is believed the re-
turns are all illegal.

Nail Contractors Drivers and CarieE q EzFiess
Business


Some Of the Mail and Express carriers
under contracts now expired have proved
trusty in business and prompt in action, as
well as spirited and intelligent BY always
thinking to bring along the latest news for
the accommodation Of people, even atthe
expense Of a picayune now and them
These are remembered and their services
parted with regrettingly, none more than
Mr.. Giles Heacock, who for years has yio-
lated no trust and never forgotten 10 bring
the news along from Bosco5el and Potosi;
besides, during the war he has carried
hundreds Of money packages for the faini-
lies Of soldiers, most Of the time without
charge, thus exhibiting a true patriotism as
welEas kindness towards the dear ones suf-
forug for want and mourning the absence
Of friends in the army. We only lfope
tie public may be equally fortunate in
whom Mr.. Poster may appoint to succeed
Mr.. Heacoek in the carrying business on
the route from Boscobel to Potosi, til
weekly for The next four years. Upon
mosl other routes the Mail and Express
carriers have been changed 50 often that
few of them got the public confidence,
thing that can only be arrived at after long
trial. This fact has proved much loss to
contractors of routes. Ignorance, duIIness
aad carelessness for the public, stupid
indifference as to whether the news is
brought, and a corresponding appetite for
drink, cards and bad company at odd spells
while net diving or seeing 10 horses, are
cormon traits Of character among drivers.
Such can be employed cheap but are far
the dearest, for nobody cares 10 travel
vita Or entrust and pay them for carrying
valuable packages. The employment Of
such fellows accounts for the trayeland bus
mess nearly all leaving the stages and mail
c~rsiers and going to private hands, livery
stable keepers and TO DoJson, the latter
being a travelling safe for everybody having
business at Galena.
We see that Hutchens is to carry the
nail daily between Platteqile and Galcna,
and Charly Brown tie tri-weekly between
Platteyille, Lancaster, Patch Grove, Prairie
du Chien. Hutchens and Brown may be
trusted every time, and viii employ no dri-
yers except responsible ones. The business
upon this entire route will be safely con-
Quoted, we will warrant. Also, We think
SAFELY upon the route from Mineral Point,
Lancaster and Beetown to Cassrille, pro-
yided that the contractor, Mr. 9. II. / OK,
drives himself

Now York. June 81

The steamer Philadelphia from Beau
fort, and Ericsson from Key West 18th,
Port Royal 23d, arrived.
The Ericsson brings 181 passengers,In-
Guiding Gen. Benham and staff, and 81
soldiers wounded in the late engagement
on James Island.
Near Charleston U. s. troops under
Benham made an attack at o'clock Of the
18th and were repulsed after four hours
hard fighting, with 669 killed, wounded
and missing.
The Michigan 8th had but 250 men at
roll call.
Several Union troops were obliged to
retreat under cover of the gun-boata.
The account Of the fight on James rs
land, copied from the Charleston papers
is correct.
The Kewberne Progress reports that
The rebels at Kingston and Goldboro are
living on half rations, and are frequently
deserving.
Fifteen rebels had been killed at fisher
vile BY the explosion Of a shell thrown by
one of our gnnboats, which did not burst
at the time It was fired.

nyWm A MORGAN writes IL r.

EE VIM. A. Morgan writes US from
Danyille, Ills, asking whether il is right to
assess his land higher than he offers TO sell
it for-saying he asks $500, butthe same
is assessed at $40o to $500 every year.
The land is situated near Boseobel, adj
joining Mr.. Arnold. Surely The test Oval
uation of any article ought to be its mar
ket value, or what it win bring, surprising
that public noticeis given Of the property
being for sale and the price asked therefor.
There are various difficulties in assessing
lands at just value. Apart from the vary
inc judgments of assessors, as TO the value
of property, the practice Of yaluing nom
resident lands 1t double true ya'ue has
come to be so general as TO be custom
just as the custom is to rate resident prop
erty below true or selling va'ue. Such Gus
toms, though wrong are not objected to BY
people of towns because the interest Of
people is 10 have the assessing done just 80.

Gen. King Of Wisconsin succeeds Free

The latest despatch from Richmond
reads as follows, particulars not given:
1--WE have the giandest military triumph
over the enemy, and Richmond must fail +
Latest news By persons from Boscohel
say that Richmond has fallen and was be-
ing burned.
The fighting was continued at least two
DAYS, on the Union side l25,000 men, on
The rebel side $4,000 TO 10000. On
Thursday the right wing under Mcdowell
give way, but no damaging results The
fighting was desperate on both sides and
losses heavy.
JackSons rebel army were at Richmond,
and so1eA eff bis chiefs killed and captured.
At ? O'clock Thursday the rebes crossed
the Chickahomiuy in vast numbers, with
many regiments Of cavalry, rari7ly adj
vancing on Gen. McCalIs Division. They
closed on Gen. CampbelPs Division Of
Pennsylvania Bucktails and cut them up
sadly, but the lattei last rctfeatel in
GOOD order. The ls5els then advanced
down at the rear Of MechaniesyiIle. With
determined courage they pressed forward,
but our bullets and grape shot cut them
down ike hail, and they gave way ly
night.
The battle became general, the enemy
at last seeming to make desperate stand,
forcing our men back to low ground where
they had to cross narrow ridge and a
panic Of our men seemed ii qitabe At
last Meaghers Irishmen came over tie bill
stripped to the bare arms, and were order
ed to goin. They gave a yell and went
TO the work, and the result was that the
enemy fell back to the woods, and thus
matters stood up to IL o'clock yesterday,
Sunday morning. At dark an attack was
made along the front Of The entire line.
The .. S. Infantry are almost annibila-
ted. On the following morning there was
a general siege, the day previous being
buta preliminary This day, it Is believed,
ended in the glorious victory Of our arms,
the taking Of Richmond and perhaps a
heavy share Of the rebel army, but We
have 40 material reports.

Rejected Army Letters.

Certain army letters are received for
publication which we feel compelled to re-
ject on account of speaking hard things
against superior officers. Now is not the
time to settle such accounts with officers,
nor is the newspaper proper medium.
Civil officers are always fit subjects for
newspaper criticism, but army officers must
be dealt with in a! different manner, mas
much as such treatment can do no good,
can amount to nothing but evil; the ballot
box and public opinion cannot reach them,
at least during the war. AS in matrimo-
ny, matches are made to last during the
battles Of life, SO in war, the matches be-
tween men and officers are voluntarily made
but cannot well be unmade. IN both such
departments, settlement day must come at
the close, reyer in the heat Of battle. The
public never takes part in matrimonial and
military matches; therefore, must not be
appealed to for settling difficulties growing
out Of them; nor win it do for outsiders to
interfere when husband and wife, officers
and men, let their angry passions rise and
quarrel. The reasons are numerous for
rejecting letters cri,icising the conduct Of
officers, and intelligent readers can think
and apply them just as well as we can.

Eg" Rebel authorities claim that Gen.
Mcclellan, at the beginning Of the war
offered TO lead the rebels, and wished to do
50, but on receiving better offer from
the North deserted the southern cause and
joined the North. They offer to give the
testimony should be deny it. This thing
Is doubtless untrue, and but for Els pro-
slavery sympathies the rebels would never
have charged any thing Of the kind. They
claim all pro-slavery men rs traitors At
heart, and hence tho charge that McClel-
Ian is theirs by reason and right.

ment this afternoon from Gen. Mcclellan
s.ates that the affair Of yesterday was per-
feetly successful, that we hold the new
picket line undisturbed, and that al' IS

The forces under Generals Fremont,
Banks and Mcdowell, have been consolida-
ted into one army, called the army Of Nir-
ginia, and Mai. Gen. Pope has been espe-
cially assigned BY the President Of the
chief command.
The forces under Gen. Fremont nsti-
tute the first army corps, and are to be
commanded by him.
The forces under Gen. Mcdowell consti-
tute the third army corps and are to be
commanded by him.
McCall's division, 10000 strong, which
formed part Of McDowel's corps, has
