Eg-Dr. I. s Christ sends US No. Of
"7Ae Nec SOUTH" just started, at Port
Royal, sc, by JOS. II. Sears and Adam
Badeau. Its price is rather high for its
size. but its contents interesting for Union
soldiers and their friends. We learn by
it of sad affair upon Otter Island !: two
scouting parties of the 45ih Pa. Reg. fired
into each other, by mistake, killing Capt.
Rambo aud corporal, and wOuniing two
men badly and others slightly.
GOV. SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island, is
perhaps the richest man in New England,
but has been one Of the foremost in this
war for the Union. An old-line Wing, he
has twice been elected Governor, indepen
dent of party-and now has the support
Of all parties for third term, repuaiating
all party strife. In a recent letter he has
rather startled some old Conservatives
BY stating that Slarery is the cause Of the
,gar, and that Cause must be made harm
less hereafter. That is truth aud wisdom,
as thousands are opening their eyes daily
to see and to act accordingly.
rn.J. Scott & Co., Of Lewisburg, have
finished making Soldiers Shoes, for the
present, having furnished about 1900 pairs
stout, seryiceable articles, as hundreds
who have seen them can testify. They
have done their work well, and received a
fair compensation. There are very many
Contractors who have been as faithful as
these, and it is shame and disgrace, (for
the sake of trying to make little pa.try
political capital for Secession) to asperse
the many for the sins of the few. Ferret
out, follow up, and punish the guilty-as
Van Wyck, Wasbburn, Hale, Wilson, and
other leading Republicans are trying to do,
(sOme times making mistakes, but intend
ing to be just to alD-but do not SANDER
the innocent, nor charge wholesale .fraud
on the Government because an occasional
rat is found in the Treasury Crib. Thus
far, most of the swindlers are old Demo-
Gratis, who learned their game on the Penn
sylvania canal and in other like specula-
tions uuder the Pierce and Buchanan Ad- I
Some Republicans also are
guilty, but no favor or partiality is shown
them BY the Government.
ISLAND No. 10 is at the east end of the !
sudden bend Of the Mississippi, at N. W. |
Tennessee, while New Madrid is at the
west end. The Union forces under Gen.
Pope have New Madrid, and Com. Foote I
has the river above No. lO-so tba, the l
Rebels are hemmed in, and must &c, :
away as they did at Winchester, Colum-
bus and Manassas, or surrender at last,
We hope they will be caught, and no. al. .
