B6- The Vincennes Sun ridicules the
idea of Gen. Sigel being the hero of the
battle of Pea Ridge, because he didn't lose
near so many men as either Davis or Carr
When Sigel is under consideration, the
reputation of the General depends on the
number of men he loses.
The same paper, in common with others,
lauds Mcclellan to the skies because be
achieves triumphs without losing men
Placing the two cases in juxtaposition,
shows up the fairness of papers who can't
see any good outside of party.

was one medicine which W" found in the

praise, and the kind hearted Surgeon of
one of our Indiana regiments informed us
that he believed it was the only thing that

B@- The Vincennes Sun says that on
Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock, a little
son of Mr.. Adam Gimbel of that city, aged
four years, got possession Of some matches,
and went into the stable loft, filed with
hay, aud, it is supposed, ignited them, set
ting fire in an instant to the combustihle
matter about him, and before assistance
could reach him, the whole stable was en-
veloped in flames, and when the little fell
low was found, partially concealed under
the hay, he was burnt to a crisp, present
ing painful sight-life, of course, extinct.

DEAR PrLlcAN.-The scarcity Of important
occurrences since our departure from Louisia-
ma. has prevented me from writing to your
sooner. am STILL at loss to find what to say:
but thinking that a few words from one Of the
Creole Chargers, may not be altogether un7
welcome BY most Of your numerous readers,
5 many Of whom, are the fathers Of some of the
noble and patriotic boys, now undergoing the
hardships Of a winter camp life and ready to
battle for the independence Of the South and
to sustain the integrity Of Southern 1nstitu.
tions, will lsay this much.
On the 10th November last, the right wing
of our Regiment left Baton Rouge on the stea-
mer Magnolia, commanded BY that veteran
and watchfnl prince Of Captains Theo. Shute.
We were "brokedo for q comfortable berth,
and every thing considered. We had very
pleasant trip mp to Memphis. nothing, worth
reporting took place during the voyage, ex-5
cepta "little ai1air, !" which was IN no way ore {
'ditable to some one Of onr own Company u
40 not wish TO deal IN personalities, I will
make no further remarks about this, suf3re II
to say, that the seggresaor Was punished by
our worthy Captain Cannon, in : severe but
just manner, which met the appreciation Of the
whole Company. After landing in Memphis,
we camped out some -four miles from town, re-
nained there three days, when we were rde-
red TO this place, where we have been ever
since for the first three weeks spent here, we
were camped on the banks Of the Barren Ri
yer, about two miles from Bowling Green, in
. beautiful beach grove during our stay there
