CAMP DEFIANcE, CAIRO, Sept 2, 1862.
Mr.. Osman-Will you grant me the pri-
vilege of saving a few words, through your
columns, to my creditors in Ottawa, as o
soldier every day on duty can hardly find
time to write to all his friends and enc
mics individually. In the first place, my
debts were contracted IN most cases when
times were good, and l did expect to pay
them but caiamities pressed me sore, and
the fortunes of trade, as time determined,
were against me- and the melancholy fact
was staring me in the face, that at present
could not pay my debts, and ] acknow-
ledge the fact that did wrong in ever
contracting debt aud promising TO pay on
n certain day without a sure and certain
expectation of fulfilling my word and the
acknow gment is all that ! can make.
But have not lost all hopes of paying
my debts yet. as l still retain the profits
of my former business, and if there be any
profits, it is to be paid where ! direct
Vow, under these circumstances, have
done wrong in taking my gun and gong
to war, to suffer the distresses of camp
life and take my chances for life or death
on the field of battle, to protect the liber-
ties Of those whom I owe, who are enjoy
ing the blessing Of home and cup OF
pure cold water which am deprived Of
Let my creditors say.
Very respectfully, yours.

Ii. COL Hlrr-We had been misled by
a private letter into stating, in cur last,
that It. Col Hit, who arrived home from
Memphis last week, had resigned. Col. II.
has come home to recruit his health, and
has no idea of Withdrawing from the army.
We are happy to learn that his journey
homeward has already done him good,
and that at the rate his health is now
improving, he feels confident of being able
to return to his regiment by the time his
leave of absence expires.
The compositor led Us into another mis-
take in our brief notice Of Col II. last
week: by substituting the word from for
"of" Col. II. was injured by fall Of his
horse not from his horse.
Ia an interview with Col H. We took
occasion to enquire as to the truth of GER
tain stories that have been afoat in this
community, alleging cruelty against Col.
Cushman IN the treatment of his men
The cruelty, if the stories are true, would
haue been of such character ~, Of course,
to make the matter notorious through the
regiment Col II. solemnly AYERS that he
never heard breath or whisper of the
sor until he got to Ottawa, and denies their
truth ard repels them with . vehemence
and Indignation that convince Us it would
be unhealthy for their author to repeat the
stories in his presence. On the contrary,
ha .ssures ,,s (.ol Cushman In wearing him.
self out with anxiety for the comfort and
welfare of his men, and he knows they
have unlimited confidence in him. The
regiment has frequently been compliment
ed by commanders of divisions for its
superb condition and excellence of drill,
things for which tho boys know they are
mainly Indebted to their Colonel, of whom
they are proud in consequence.

MAJOR SETH c. EARf.--The statement Of

appointment of Captain Earl to the Major

foundation. Capt Earl was elected ty the

are informed, and therefore hesitated
several days before he decided to accept.
But he has accepted, is acting As Major,
and has, we learn, been com missioned as
such. Major T., we are not surprised to
learn, is one of the most efficient and
popular officers in the regiment, but, at
the same time, he is one of those men

Attempt of tho Essex to Capture the
Arkansas.


New York, Aug. l5.--The Herald's oorres-
pondent on board the guuboat Essex, gives q
graphic account of the attempt to capture the
ram Arkansas, on the 221 of July.
The Essex advanced to where the ram was
moored, under tremendous FIRE from all the
batteries. When within few rods Of the rsm
the lGtter's bow line was let loose and she
swung round with the tide, thus partially evad-
log the blow from the Essex which graEsd her
side, causing the E stx to run ashore.
For several minutes the water batteries, field
artillery, puskeiry and heavy land batteries
played on the Essex.
Y AT the same time the Essex delivered at six
yards distance q raklng fire from her three nine.
inch guns Into the ram, going throug her pla-
ting aud killing sixteen and wounding thirty oil
the rebel crew. The remainder of tie ram's
crew fed to the shore, and If the feet had prop
erly supported the Essex, as agreed upon, the
Arkansas would have been captured.
The Essex escaped with only three shots that
took effect, killing one of her men and wound.
ing lhIee.
The Union feet remained passive spectators
Of the brave action.
The Essex lie covered with indentations all
over from the shots of hundreds of cannon; her
