Concerning a Coward.

In CAMP NEAR FLORENCE. ALA.
June 13, le62.

We, the undersigned commissioned Of
hcers of the 18th regiment Ohio Voiun-
teers, who were present at the battle of
Shiloh, having learned that Abraham c.
Cummings, formerly Captain of company
|, of our regiment, since his return to
Ohio, has been falsely representing the
circumstances which led to his arrest for
cowardice and desertion of his post with
out cause, sought to injure the fair repu-
tation of Major William Wallace, who
commanded the l5tl, regiment during the
engagement of the 7th Of April, deem it
Il duty we owe to our gallant Major and
to the State which we represent, to cor
rect any false statement which, if per-
mitted to circulate without contradiction,
m ght be creditadlby some, though il mi eht
emanate from one who "behaved shame
fully in the presence of the enemy" We
therefore take great pleasure in adding
our testimony to that of Colonel William
IL. Gibson, who commanded the 9th brig
ade on that OCCASION, and cheerfullv en-
dorse the language OF his official report
In speaking of the part which the 18Th
regiment took in the engage n,ent, lie says:

Wilson being absent on account of sick
ness, the command of that regiment de-
volved upon Major William Wallace, who
managed his command with prompfness
and skill, and exhibited throughout the
bloody coh.est the highest proof of cool
ness, courage, and energy" We also
entirely approve of The course which Ma
jor William Wallace pursued in placing
Abraham G. Cummings under arrest. and
filing charges which were approved by
brigade and division commanders, and
which emhody the following statement of
facts: 81 hat Abraham G. Cummings,
soon after the 10Th regiment was eugag-

April, left the field, and did not return
until after the close Of the action, and
that day he represented himself to the
undersi gned as having been wounded, by
"a ball having passed through his right
shoulder, entering near the armplt, aud
coming out near the shoulder blade; that

columns that DR.. Rodig, who gained so
largely the affections of the boys Of the
18th Regiment 0. V. NJ, and who was
compelled by sickness to abandon the
army, has settled himself in Marseilles,

we trust he will receive such patronage
as his qualifications deserve.

10 Parents,
Childhood, the most tender portion OF
our existence, is generally most neglect
ed, and thousands of youth die every
year from neglect of parents to attend to
the early symptoms of disease. Every
parent must be well aware that headaches,
dizziness, sick stomach, furred tongue,
etc, indicate disordered stomach and
blood, and some violent fit of sickness
must soon follow, if the cause which
gives rise to such symptoms be not al
once expelled from the system. How
criminal, therefore, is /: for parents to
neglect the health of their children, when
Dir. HALsEY's celebrated FOREST PILLS
are SO well adapted to remove every YES
lige of impending disorder. These mild
vegetable pills not only cleanse the stom-
ach and blood from all impurities, but
when used in connection with the Forest
Wine, will cure, readily, old standing
colds and coug Chs, ague and fever, scrofu-
lous affections, and otEer chronic dis
eases.

The Cork Leg.
The Courier persists in upholding &C"
in his statement in regard to "Mr H'
and his "cork leg, notwithstanding, the
facts in the case, as presented are against
him. Of one thing we are perfectly salts
fed, and that is, that if the Editor can
reconcile the statement of CO., and the
letter written to Mr.. II. he can do more
than we or any candid mind can do; and
&C." in order to avoid the force Of the
letter, hides himself behind the miserable
subtcrfuge--that Of wishing to get the
''leg to Findlay, in order to replevy it.
1t will be seen that this statement bears
upon its face that of which Mr. II. com
plains--BAsE DECEPTION. We have fully
satisfied ourselves from the Coulier'S
last article, that Mr.. II. has acted in the
whole matter with honest intentions,
whilst Mr. G, evidently, from his own
statement designed to play ''sharp," and
has in a measure succeeded. Nj. H,
however, still survives the trick.

Popular Entertainment.
Messrs. Smith d Ralton have been Civ
ing series of popular entertainments i'll
the Court House OF this village for the
past week, which has been we'll patronized
by our citizens. The members composing
hhe troupe during their short stay in
our village, won the fl friendship of many
of our citizens, and all concur in the OPT
Mon that their entertainments were amuss
ing and interesting. The most fastidiou-
may attend with perfect safety, as their
exhibitions are free from the low and vul-
gar sayings which in late years have be-
come SO common on the stage, and by
which means the Theatre has lost caste,
and is Stunned by the cultivated and the
retired classes of society. Messrs. Smith
G Ralston have in their selections mani
tested great deal of taste, and their per-
formances partake in a great measure of
parlor entertainments, SO common now in
fashionable society. There is nothing
therefore in their presentations that can
in the slightest degree shock the modesty
or corrupt the morals, but rather elavates
and pleases for the time, and thereby adds
to the enjoyment of life. We shall not
be invidious i'll our illusions, but must
say that MARIAN fills the bill to the let
ter, and as tile sconder Of Tie age.' But
six years of age, and yet taking part in
the most difficult deliniations, and chang
ing characters as often as three times in
a single piece. She must be seen and
heard to be fully appreciated. Messrs.
S. d R. are the first who have introduced
into our village, we believe, Theatrical
Performances, and we are beginning to
feel that we can now afford to put on city
airs.
