SIRs,-Last week, we had occa-
sion to animadyert rather sharply,
though sarcastically, upon q letter
which appeared in your paper, thel
week before, in which the people
of Preble We're called upon to rise
and drive us out of the county.
There is a certain respect due to
the editorial staff, the exact nature
of which you appear not to under
stand; but if you do understand
it, you wiltnliy and Intentionally
disregard it, and allow your jour
nal to. be used rs a medium to stir
up strife, promote ,bloodshed, and
even murder! Sirs, permit us to
inform you, that there are always
two parties to a game, and that the
course you have recently pursued,
relative to us, IS Of too grave and
serious Il nature, to admit of our
remaining silent any longer. We
were attacked either directly or in
directly, in your paper twelve
times, before we eve took any no.
tice of your meddling, or inter
meddling. We do not now seek,
desire, or wish, to eater the contro-
versial arena with you; but neither
do we fear to meet you in the
press, or on the stump and If you
will continue to Use your sheet to
instigate mob violence, we must do
you the kindness to inform you,
tina: we are fully prepared for your
mobs, and that you are playing Il
game, forthe consequences OF which
both you and the lying sconndrels
whose incendiarv and blood-tlirsty
effusions, You so readily proclaim
to the world, will he held respon-
| sibIe much sooner than you are
aware of. Take heed to what We
say, and do not involve yourselves

y y will try and tell you
something about the fight we had
here. The rebels attacked Ms on
Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock,
and they fought very hard all day.
We were under u pretty hot fire
for some time and during the fight
my horse WAS shot from under me,
then took my saddle Oft, and left
for camp to get another horse. We
were whipped in the evening very
badly I think. AT last they made
us give back to the river; and by
that time it was dark and We lal

morning, then BuelI's urmy came

fight was very nard all the forenoon
and part of the afternoon ID tthey
commenced to retreat abou3 noon,
ana after Il while they all left, and
we after them, but we did not catclI
them. The whole thing was not
very well managed. After Monday
evening we went back to camp
and were very tired aud hungry
for we had nothing to eat since
Sunday morning, and on Sunday
night we slept on our horses al
night. On Tuesday morning,

How the Wounded Soldiers are Used.

We give below an extract from
a letter published in the Cincinnati
Daily Times, Of Friday, the 25th
of April, 1862. Reader-read it,
and ponder. What must hethought
of men who would, or who could,
treat our wounded and brave boys,
after their escape from q shower of
bullets, and u furnace of shot, shell,
and birthstone, rs if they had been
created to be murdered or, what
is still worse, to be left in the sight
of life, joy, and comfort, to die
slowly Of hunger, thirst, and OF
their wounds? Are not our soldiers
in the service of their country, and
doing their duty nobly Can
any man or woman of sane mind
believe, that mangled men so used,
will love their country? or act as
patriots? The scoundrels who
could so Use our wounded, MANNED,
and lewn-to pieces defenders, are
not fit to live, or to die. They urC
not tit for earth or heaven, and NC
are not sure, that they are not toe
vile, too selfish, and too devi!isi
for hell. 1t is a sober fact, thai
the treatment with which our ell
during and suffering boys have me
on board the steamers, has been o
so diabolical d nature, as to pave
the way for speedy and r%etributiv'
vengeance on the heads of thos'
who make money at the eXpens'
of the sick and mangled soldiers
A thousand thanks to DR. Baker

SHIPPER, of the Hon. G. L. Vallan-
digham, but we are the unfiinching

Justice to all in authority. Mr..
Vallandigham is a scholar, a gen
tleman, a politician, and u real
statesman. lie has u European
and American name, rs aegreat,
sound, clever, and honest statesma l..
That lie has been well abused, lied
upon, and insulted in Washington,
and in Ohio, is a fact which we do
not desire to deny, but 30 was the
Saviour of mankind. In these de-
generate days, or as the Bible terms
it, the "last times" it is not sur
prising, that the MAI who is so
anxious to preserve the Union,
should be maligned, and hunted,
as if he were in the gap between
thu perdition of Satanic men, and
the destruction Of our great, pros
porous, and-up to this time-llap-
ny nation. Let the tools who
choose to abuse Vallandigham,
whether in the House of Represen-
tatlves, or in the Safe of Ohio,
bear in mind, that the man who
said, "tllat three quarters oI
Ohio would speak Of him (Mr
Vallal.digLam) as Senator Wade
did," prayed like an ass, aul
