sG" Governor Yates, of Illinois, in
tends to have the name of every private
soldier from that State printed in the an
nual report of the Adjutant General. The
idea is not original with the Illinois au-
thorities, for last year the same thing
was done.in Maine. The report of Adj
jutant General Hodsdon, of that State,
contained the name of every soldier i'll
fifteen regiments of infantry, one regi-
ment of cavalry, six batteries of artil-
lery, and one company of sharpshooters!
The report embraced, moreover, every
noteworthy fact in the history of each
soldier, and gave many statistical tables
of rare value for reference We under
stand that similar report will be made
in Maine the coming year.

The U. s. Sanitary Commission and
-. Our HOsnifalS. =

We take much pleasure in laying be-
fore our readers the following correspon-
dence' between. Samuel Bayard, Esq, Of
this place, now in New York, and Rev
DIR. Bellows, the President of the I. S.
Sanitary Commission.
We are gratifed that the attention of
DIR. Bellows has been called to the wants
of our Hospitals, and that there is
prospect that, even at this late day, some
attention win be given to those wants.
Up to this time they have been entirely
overlooked by the Agents Of the Sanita-
ry Commission, and the burden of provi-
ding for the comfort and necessities of
the sick and wounded in them has fallen
upon the humane and benevolent of our
own community.
1t is to be hoped that DIR. Bellows will,
as he intimates he may, visit us and see
into the wants Of this point, from a per-
sonal examination.

Contrahands-.-Shamefnl.

Twelve or fourteen contrabands, old
and young, large and small, were
brought into this county on Saturday
last, and dropped at the junction. These
negroes say they were forced away from
their masters, who had always fed and
clothed them well and provided for their
necessities in sickness and health-that
they would gladly return to their old
homes if they could do so-that they
were worked by q man near Evansville
for some time, and until they had worn
out their clothes under promise that he
would pay them for their labor, but gave
them nothihg-that they paid nothing to
the Railroad Company for. bringing them
here. One of them is old; frail and sick,
and without attention it is thought will
die of want. In that event, the county
Of Knox will have to be taxed to bury
such as die here We are already cursed
with a large population of worthless ne
groes who were living in the country at
the time of the adoption Of our Constitu-
ton. La the name of every Democrat
and four-iilths Of the Republicans of this
county we protest against any violation
ofthe Consultation and the laws made in
pursuance thereof by railroad companies
or " any other inan.
If the board of directors Of our rail
road companies have authorized the
scattering of eUntrabands along the line
Of the road where they have resident d.
rectors, we trust the gentlemen repre-
senting the roads at this point will see
that no more are left than. they may re-
ouire for their own use. IL they have
not authorized such a course, we be-
seech them to see that the same instru-
mentality returns the contrabands from
where there they came, and let us have
no more cause to complain ON this ac.
! count TiRce1HeS San.
Name the man "near Evansville "
who worked these negroes for some time
who gave them nothing for their labor
Now that the elections are over, we can
see little use in cOncocting such gigan

we're forced away from their mas
tiers, they certainly posted the editor o
the Sun as to who did the " forcing.
