Parson BroWnloW

Has jast written letter On the con-
duet uf the war, which tells some home
truths. Here is an extract that is worth
studying. We emphasize few lines oi
most instructive import:
"The opinion prevails widely that
theic have been a set of men in com
mand of the army who desired to either
favor the Southern rebellion, or prutract
the war, with view to break down the
party in power, and to build up another
party, with an eye to the next Presi-
Dental contest. But The friends Of the
! conHhy blame the Admjnisfyuiion to1
keeping ach men in tie front ranks Of the
army.
There is large interest in the North
west in favor Of protracting the war,
with a view to make money out Of it,
and swindle the Government There
are thousands Of swindlers holding CON
tracts, and army officers are partners in
these thievinS operations, cheating the
Government out Of millions of dollars.
There are some s,cindl.rs III this city (Cin. J
scho haze made huudrcds OF thousands out Of
ttc Government, and are rotiag against 1t,
denouncing 1t daily, and comp1oiaing Of
the aoeahness, mismanagen,eat and culpa-
Jie rcmissness Of the Administration. Mr..

the Government, and then tarn round and
cursc the ha,d that fcd item.
With nearly one million Of men in
the field and in camps of instruction, |
now ask the President, his Secretary OF
War, and his Generals in command, il
they are going to try to take East Ten
nessec? Will they meet the expecta-
tions of the country, or will they play
the fool, as they have been doing for
the last twelve months? Will they
prosecute the war, or will they lie in
camps, so as TO give contractors and
swiudlers chance to make more money:

AbsenGeeisn,

"Absehteeism, with er without leave,
has prevailed to such an extent as to
heavily reduce the force nominally in
the field, especially in .he Army of the
Fast. We are informed it is officially
shown that OH James river 1000 men
were absent from McClellan's army, on
leave, and 1000 without leave. This
reflects seriously on the discipline Of
that amy. An effort is now being made
to stop the descriions by enforcing the
penalty, and by stopping the Struggling
which leads to desertion. it is singular
that the Captains and subordinate com
pany officers should have so little ac-
quaintance with their men, that they
can desert and return home and remain
with iinpunity. .'-Cta. Gazette.
The foregoing statement is revela-
ton that will startle the community 1t
proves conciusively that it was not Nc
Clellan's design to march upon the reb-
els tLis winter. While the country was
waiting in suspense, trembling between
hope and fear, and all knowing that de-
lay was death to the nation, thirty four
thousand Of the soldiers ,cere absent on
leoce, nni .tour Mo"sund oithout leauc!-
Does not this explain the intention of
the Commander, and more than justify
his removal True, the facts were not
known while he was in command, and
would not have been known if he had
net been removed 1t is no wonder the
rebels are furious at his removal. They
were perfectly Y safe .th Mcclellan and
Buell. at the head of our armies, and
time was all they wanted to wear out
the patience Of the North, and of Eu-
rope, and force the ''compromise" that
would place the conspirators in full
power, and keep them there.

Letter From the Camp.

CAMP GAULEY, Nov 8, 1862.
iM-. Edifor:-It has been so long
since | have seen copy of your patri
otic paper, that l believe single column
ofthe Telegraph would be the best antidote
our Surgeon could prescribe for the sore
eyes. I trust, therefore, if you will be
SO kind as to publish few lines for an
humble soldier, that if we cannot hear
from our friends in Old Meigs, they
shall, at least, hear from US.
OF course you all know that Capt
Cooper, Of Co. f. 92d o. Regt., went out
Of Meigs on the 18th of last August,
with full Company Of brave, noble and
patriotic boys. And l trust tonight,
even while [ write, there is many fer
vent prayer ascending from afectionate
mothers and friends to heaven for our
welfare and the success of our cause
Under these circumstances it would, per-
haps, be some satisfaction to those in
terested in the Cpd to learn something Of
our whereab bouts.
As | never had much talent for wri-
ting, find it difficult, right in the start,
to tell precisely where we are, or what
We are doing. Some Of the boys say
We are fifty miles from anywhere, -
while others say we are beyond the lin
its Of the United States-that Uncle
Sam would never disgrace himself by
owning such rugged, gloomy and cheer
less mountains. But suffice it to say,
we are bivouacked to- o-night Con pickett
two miles above the mouth of Gauley
under some stately hemlocks of appa.
rently five centuries growth, at the foot
of towering mountain, with cliff o1
solid rock two hundred feet high BY
our side to back US. [ presume oul
, friends, (our timid ones, if we have any,
will be gratifed to learn we have sucl
substantial backing.
But, by the by, I havejust discovered
I commenced at the wrong end of m.
story. l have managed to tell 20,
where we are, without telling you wher'
we have been. But | presume ou
friends, and perhaps everybody else
knows that Capt. Coopers Co., together
with two others, spent the first tw'
months of their service in watching
4 railroads, and running the gauntlet be
tween Marietta and Gallipolis. But
thanks to our splendid regiment, its fn'
appearance and able officers bespoke fol
j, a more noble position than watching

Sam said: Il feel heap more of a
man"
With the lurid flames still lighting up
all the region behind, and the bright
rays OF the smiling moon before them,
they formed circle on the lower deck,
and around the hatchway leading to the
hold, where the women and children
ca ptured during the day, and on beuded
knees they offered up heartfelt thanks
to Almighty God for the Nercies of the
day. Such tervent prayers for the
| President, for the hearing Of his procla-
nation by all in bonds, and for the end
ing of the war and Slavery, were seldom
if ever heard before. About one hour
was spent in Singing and prayer. Those
waters surely never echoed with such
sounds before. 1t really seemed, some
times, as if we could aim ost hear the an
gels chanting over US, the song of Judea
"Glory to Goa in the highest, and on
earth peace, good will to men,"
We refer again to Col. Boards report
He says: The colored men fought
with astonishing GOODNESS and bravery
For alacrity in effecting landings, fol
determination, for bush fighting,
found them all | could desire, more than
| had hoped. They have acted bravely
gloriously, and deserve all praise.
Our steamer left Beaufort without a
soldier, and returned after an absence OF
twelve days with 156 fighting colored
men, some of whom dropped the hoe
took a musket, and were at once sold
iers, ready to fight for the freedom Of
others. The troops made thirteen land
ings on the main between Fernandina
and Fort Pulaski, destroying nine large
salt works, together with some S2O, ,O0C
worth Of salt, corn, rice, horses, &c.
which could not be brought away
About seventy slaves were taken from
their rbel masters, while our steamers
T brought back the scars of one hundred
) and fifty of the enemy's balls. The mel
; entered Beaufort singing the ohm Brown
) song more heartily, | venture to say
J than it was ever sang before. The ne
groes now think they will be ready
when the brigade is completed, to take
the job of putting down the rebellion
General Saxton pronounces the expe
dition perfect success; but what th'
rebels and the people of the North viii
say of it we canuot tell. We close with
: two regrets-frst, that we found on oul
return that our commander. Gen. Mitch
, ell, had finished his work on earth and
gone home to Heaven; and second; that
we have been obliged to write this I'M
! perfect account en- route for Washing
: ton, on board ship, and sea-sick.

Rules for Home Education.

The following are worthy of being printed in
letters of gold, and being placed in consplcu-
GUS position in every household;
l. From your children's earliest infancy in
culcate the necessity of instant obedience.
9. Unite 6rmness with gentleness. Let your
children always understand that you mean ex-
actly what you say.
g Neyer promise them anything unless you
are sure you can give them what you promise
4. If YOU tell child to do anything, show
| him how to do it, and see that it is done.
;. Always punish your children for willfully
disobeying you, but never punish in anger.
| 6. Never let them perceive that they can vex
you, or make you lose your self-command.
Z. If they give way to petulance and temper,
wait till they are calm, and then gently reason
with them on the improperly of their conduct.
g. Remember that little present punishment
when the occasion arises, is much more etfectu-
al than the threatening Of a greater punish
ment should the fault DO renewed
9. Never give your children anything because
they cry for it.
10. On no account allow them to do at one
time what you have at another time, under the
same circumstances, forbidden.
IL. Teach them that the only sure and easy
way to appear good is to be good.
~ Accustom them to make their little reel
tails the perfect truth.
10, Never allow alebearing.
IA. Teach them that self-denial, not seIt-lh,
dulgenes, is the appointed aud sure method Oh
securing happiness.

D..th Of Rem. DcCuIloch.

Gen. Ben. MeCulOch, who is reported among
the killed in the battle of the Ozark Mountains,
was a Tennesssean by birth, and vagabond and
traitor by nature. He went to Texas in 1885,
with Crockett, fought the Mexicans, and after
wards the Indians settled in Texas, and took
part in the border quarrels between Texas and
Mexico. The first act of treason for which he
became known was committed in December,
1912, when he made part of band which at
tackled the town of Mier The Texans were in
turn threatened by vastly superior force un'
der Ampudia, and in order to secure their re-
treat, Fisher, the Colonel in command, sent
McCulloch with detachment to gather horse
and mules from the surrounding country and
bring them into the town. McCulloch got the
horses, but persuaded the men under his com
mand to desert and leave their companions to
their fate, which was defamation by the Mex
leans and long imprisonment and suffering by
the survivors.
McCuloch explained away this act of tresch
cry, was forgiven, and was afterwards mem
Der of the Texan Legislature, a ranger and q
spy in the Mexican war, in 1885 United States
Marshal of Texas, and since the outbreak Of
this rebellion, traitor to his country. he
was dashing partizan leader, but not good
general.
