Il LOUISIANA TowN TOTALLY DESTROYED.
NEW YORK, Aug. 1S.-There was recently
a village named Donaldsonville, formerly the
capitol of Louisiana, on the Mississippi, eighty
two miles above New Orleans. Having be-
come infected with ,rcbel guerEillas, who made
a business of firing upon Union boats, even
upon transports filed with sick and wounded,
the Captain Of the sloop-of-war Brooklyn, on
the 9th inst, sent word TO have the women
and childeen removed, and the next day Dodal-
sonville was obliierated by fire.
Al recent sale of negroes in Keniu cky
TWO likely young negro men Brought less than
$500 each Eighteen months ago they would
probably ,have brought over 81 200, and now
they sell for little more than good hands hired
for two years ago. Here is.a striking ,illustra-
ton Of the effect Of the rebellion upon aIave-
~.
"f0ur men," writes a surgeon connected with
the Fifty Second Regiment Indiana Volun-
teers, shave killed many bloodhouuds, valued
at Sl00 apiece. These dogs, kept to hunt run
away negroes, were put after some of our men,
and hence their slaughter"
GEN. CAss and Hox. q. CHANDLER, of De
troit, have each contributed 81 900 toward
the bounty fund 10 aid in filling up Col. Nor
rows regiment.
HIGH PRICE FOR SUBsTITUTE.-A soldier
in company K. 80 North Carolina troops, who
is in bad health, will pay the high sam of 81, ;
200 for s substitute that is exempt from duty.
Apply Immediately to Harvil Harris, Louis.
burg, N. C.-Riehmord .pqper.
WHIEKY.-This, that used to he dear at 20
cents per gallon, is now selling at 10G1$I4 per
gallon by the barrel. None is disposed of ex-
cept on the order of the provost marshall
The fact that any such liquors can be disposed
of at the prices named above shows clearly
that the people either need stmulant or fancy
they do, to the detriment Of their peeuniary
EJ3ourccs.-R Richmond Dispatch.

1t bas been definitely settled that drafting
will commence on Wednesday Sept. Sd. The
draft is to be made by townships and wards,
and credit is to be given for the men heretofore
raised by volunteering. The order from the
Secretary of War, dated 14th inst, says credit
viii be given ''for all volunteers heretofore
furnished and mustered into the service of the
U. S., and whose stipulated term OF service
shall not haYe EXPIRED" but more recent or
der from the State authorities requiring lists
to be taken of those who have volunteered
since the 22d of July, seems to imply that
credit is only to be given for those who have
volunteered since the call for the draft was is
sued The determination of this point will
have an important bearing upon the extent to
which drafting win be necessary.
A careful examination has showr, that under
our State laws there are no exemptions from
military duty; hence the only exemptions in
this State are those made by the laws of Con-
gress.
Camps of rendezvous for the drafted reei-
ments have been established at Cleveland,
Mansfield, zanesville, Portsmouth, and at
camps Chase and Dennison. The men raised
in our county will of course go 20 the rentez-
.yous most convenient, which is camp Chase

An Issue on Adjourned Sessions,

The Hon. S. Mason, State Senator from
the district composed of the counties of Clarke,
Champaign and Madison, has published in the
Springfield Republic an address to the cleo
tors resigning his Senatorship, because he holds
that an adjourned session is unconstitutional
and believes that the practice should be cor
rected by the people at the elections, and that
they should have an opportunity to choose a
Senator for session not contemplated by pre-
vious election. Mr. Mason makes a rConstitu-
tional argument against adjourned sessions
The main point is that the Constitution inten.
ded only biennial sessions, which no one ques-
tions, and that the Constitution plainly pre-
seribes two kinds of sessions regular biennial
sessions and extraordinary sessions, when the
Governor may call them. We have no doubt of
the soundness of the Constitutional argument,
nor OF the evil influence OF contingent sessions,
which be describes.--L Cincinnati Gazette.

To show the haste in which the poor Fellows
are buried under the ground, need only to

Some Of the boys have made several trips to

We have captured several secesd who will

Mr.. THoNsoN:-The Ladies' Soldiers Aid
Society, of Kingston township, gave dinner
on the l4th inst, to the inhabitants of King
ston and vicinity at the Presbyterian Church,
in which goodly pEmber of the adjoining
townships, Porter, Berkshire, Brown and Ben

A large audience was in attendance eloquent
and stirring speeches were delivered by Rev
Mr.. Newton, Mr.. StaYman and Rev. Mr.. Ma
teer all of Delaware, iRterspersed with the
best of martial music. At the close of Mr.
Newtonis speech table of about one hun
dred feet in length was filled with the boun-
ties and luNnries of the season. A beautiful
bower was erected over the entire table As
the people partook, table after table was re-
pleniShed and after all were satisfied, several
baskets of fragments were taken up. There
was 1925 received for the benefit of the woun-
ded, sick and sufIeo;ng soldiers, which shows
the interest that patriotic ladies and gentle
men take in the welfare of the soldier To
give life ard animation to the proceedings of

VT. PEaRY WIGroX, of Brown tewnship, a

altar, to the tune of Union, and were, by Rev.
Mr.. Newton, joined together in the bonds of
holy matrimony. Truly they were patriotic
lovers, bound for the Union as it was, as it is,
and as it will be after the rebellion ceases.

Letter From TIC. Norris to Mrs. Van Deman.

CAMP NEAR CULPEPPER, VA, Aug. IL, '62.
DEAR SIsTER:-I take this opportunity to
write few lines stating that at the battle Of
the 9th, our regiment was all cut to pieces
The 81 Brigade was badly cut up The whole
1 regiments would not make two companies
The Capt. was slightly Woanded and taken
prisoner. When taken he vas ten PAGES a
head of the brigade which did not exceed two
companies at that time. with twelve men as
skirInishers, six on each side of the road and
he marched down the center. He was the
only Captain not badly wounded When at
the edge Of the woods they grabbed him say
ing, you are the man we want Never was
there braver man lived. when nc charged
on the rebels, he was at the head of his com
pany waving his sword, firing his revolver and
cheering the boys to come on, every one o
whom did to the last letter. We still have
hope that we will get him back, as Burnside
has destroyed the road between Gor2onsgille
and Richmond and they cannot send their Ioris-
oners away. There aEcabout l so ,0oo IReu here.
They are still fighting, and are gaining on
them. There Is not over 80 meE left in oNr
regiment No more. Your brother,
CHAS. T. NORRIS.

Ths Repulse ofthe Rebels at Ration Rogue.

Athngth we have an account from our OWE
side. by way of New Orerns, Of the battle of
Batcn Rogue, and combinations of the destrue-
tionof Arkansas. The account from Our side
represents that our forces, about 2.5G0, we're
attacked by 6,000 or 1000 rebels, who were
repulred after a severe contest, during which
our troops were driven back. and their camp
fell ipto the hands of the rebels; but they after
ward recovered the ground, The Arlla nsas,
which was TO take part in the affair, was dis
abled in her machinery before reaching The
town, and was attacked and destroyed by the
Essex. Both sides lost heavily, but the Yicto-
~ was clearly on our side.
Rebel accounts state that thCy drove our
troops to the river, when they were obliged
to retire by the ere of our gunboats-the Ar
kansas, which was to cooperate By destroying
our flotHla, having been disabled By her en-
giues giving oat before she reached the ground
This acknowledges the repulse Of the attempt.
1t is not expected tina, the small force Of occu-
patton which we can spare for each point can
maintain them against any force tie rebels can
concentrate Cur garrisons depend on the CO
operation Of the gunboats to resist the supe-
rior numbers ttat the rebels can throw a.
gaust any one point.
