Editor OHa,oa Free Trader:
SIR-Permit me, through your paper, to
acknowlege the receipt Of a box of sanitary
goods, and send the thanks of the Yates
Sharp Shooters to the fair don ors, Mrs.
Col. Morrill,, Mrs. DEEMS Mrs. Curtis, and
others.
The box contained number of shirts,
drawers, pillows, pillow ticks, cushions,
rags, roller bantlages, dried fruit, &c. &c.
These are just the things most needed in
our hospitals.
On entering the field, the romance OF
military life soon gives place to the stern
realities The casualties OF battle, privs-
tons, fatigue, and exposure rapidly thin
the ranks and fill up the hospitals. 1t is
here, not on the battle field, the heart Of
the brave soldier fails him: AID il is here
the industry and thoughtful care of the
patriotic ladies at home cheer their hearts
and arouse the tagging energies Of life to
renewed actien and vigor.
Respectfully,

LOCAL. MATTERS

OLD GRAENYIsM-The editor of the Of
tawa Republican makes great Judy of
himself by his childish complaints about
the loss of the four-penny job Of publish.
ing the city delinquent list; and makes
an a. or something worse of himself by
his mean, dirty attack on Collector COL
WELL in connection with the same business
Mr.. Hampton thinks he is entitled to the
job of publishing the list because the city
accepted his bid for doing the city print
ing, and is of opinion that the publication
is illegal because it was not made in his
paper To dispose of the matter in few
words, it is only necessary to say, l. That
the delinquent list was not in his bid for
the city printing which the council &C.
cepted 2 The city, by accepting his bid,
do not enter into bonds to give him all
theirprinting. All the agreement amounts
to is, that for whatever printing they do
give him, he is to receive the prices stipu-
lated. We found that out when we once
thought Of prosecuting the city council for
giving Hampton fat job that ,cas in our
bid when they accepted it for the city
printing 8. The delinquent list is at the
disposal of the Collector, and not the city
Council, and all the law requires OF the
Collector is, that he shall publish it in
some paper printed in The city.
As to the abusive part OF Mr. uampton's
article it is scarcely worthy of notice.
Most of the men he mentions, whose lands
he says have been advertised, had paid
their taxes and their lands not in the list
Mr. Colwell did call at the house of every
tax payer in the city, and the assertion
that he did not do so is simply false
That ne did not seize the personal proper
ty of every person who did not pay on de.
nand, as he was authorized to do by law,
argues no neglect of duty. No collector
in Ottawa has ever done so, for tLe reason
that it is not necessary thus to harrass
taxpayers, when everybody knows that
in the end all invariably pay their taxes
without the resorting to such hash mea-
sures. Mr.. Hampton would have the Col
lector seize the poor widows COW because
the day he calls on her she is unable to
pay her taxes, although he knows before
the time is up, she will pay. 1t is enough
to say, that Mr.. Coiwell collected more
money than any collector in Ottawa ever
collected before by $1,000, ard that he
returned the shortest delinquent lis. that
has been published in six years In short,
Granny Hampton has gone into Mysteries
over nothing. If Colwell had given him
the list, his collecting would have been ali
right and we never would have had this
baby complaint AS it is, however, nobody
is huS

CorroS.-Mr MARKHAM has laid upon
our table several ripe bolls of cotton raised
in the garden of Judge HOLSTER, in this
city. 1t was planted about the third week
in May, and only few of the bolls RI
pened to the stalk. The ouly seed receiv-
ed here from the Patent Office came three
or four weeks too late, and the season
having been very wet and .unfayorabls,
but little OF the cotton planted as an .ex-
pertinent in this county ripened Had it
been put in about the last week in April,
and the season been ordinarily favorable,
we have no doubt enough would have
ripened to afford two or three pickings.
The experiments this season show s:hat
cotton can be raised in La Sale county,
and with half a dozen years to acclimate
the seed, can perhaps be raised as easily
and 'profitably as Indian corn.

FoYE's MoLAssEs EsTBusHMExr-We
ought before now to have spoken of Mr..
FoYE's establishment, adjoining his Mach
inc shop on the hydraulic basin, for crush
ing cane and the manufacture of Molasses.
The crushing is done by water power, and
by the only really good machine yet in
vented for that purpose. The boiling and
evaporating is done by steam, and with q
systematic precision that insures perfect
result in every case The molasses he
makes is therefore very superior. If the
cane is at all good, this invariable result is
molasses as clear as golden syrup, and
what is peculiar in Mr.. Foy's work-every
foreign taste is removed, SO that it is as
palatable as the refined article We have
tasted very fine looking molssses made at
other establishments, but none that was
so entirely free as Mr.. Foyes from the
crudish cornstalk, acid taste that will cling
to most of it.
The superiority Of Mr.. Foye's manufac-
ture is attested by the fact, that deal
ers in town have been guilty of the fraud
of trying to palm of an article manufac-
tured at other establishments as his. The
only sure way of getting the genuine srti-
Gle, is to 60 to the mill, or to dealers
