justice and humanity. can't something be
done for these suffering soldiers
The Petersburg Express says:
We have seen a letter, written by Mr.
Nat. G, Harrison, dated, "Iu Camp, near
Culpeper G. H, November l0th,' in which
he says: al do assure you that many of
our boys are suffering very much for the
| want of.shoes and other articles of cloth
ing. Many ofthem are entirely bsrefOoted
and nearly naked. If il be possible, get
some of our good friends to send some
shoes, in addition 10 those you now haye,'
We notice that in the Why's commercial
aud financial article, that Coffee sells at
81 30, 50 and So oe per Id. Asa matter
of general interest, We cut the following
from its article;

o The above quotations form an interesting
n study. We should think, for the admirers o
II Secession.
$ We observe that the Wing, like all tn
Is ''loyar papers in Dixie and like all III

: line, is great on the use of the term ''Abo
lie liticuis..P Its paragraphs, a little altered
would be quite at home in the columns 9
,e such paper as the Wheeling Press. W
j. quote the following as specimen:

Io,l We infer that the rebels, like ourselves
- suffer great deal from the extortioners i
=. the necessities of life, judging from til
N paragraphs on that head in the Ighig. w
h. quote the following:
a minister recently, in a sermon abol
exlortions, said "they ought to be sent I
q hell by telegraph"
Up Solomon said /: "He that withhoIdet
ir corn, the p ople shall curse him; but bles
ne sings shall be upon the head of, him ths
sel!eth it" Let those who are waiting 70
higher prices remember this.
