in the morning HertzOgg went to the house
of one David Boughman alone, aud repre-

when he left Taylor county to go to Dixie,
he was as poor as jobs turkey. After
HertzOgg left, Boughman and Others went
out and found Ferrel lyiag dead by the
camp fire. he had evidently been killed
by the thrustiug of u sharp knife into the
side of his neck. The eoratid artery and
jugular vein were severed. No other
mark of violence was seen about his per-
son. These circumstances point to Hert-
zOgg as the murderer, and he should be
held and tried for the offence.

rro.D, VItbopt AmmunItIap,

The New York Tribune states the estOn-
ishing fact that ZOO Vermont troops were
sent from that city by sailing vessels to Ship
Island ssithOUt a pound of ammunition, and
on Wednesday last the same thing would
have occurred with another Vermont rsgi-
ment had it not been for the intervention Of
outside parties, who, at their own risk, sup
Piled them with ammunition. Suppose these
vessels should be driven by storms upon the
coast, where they are liable to be attacked
by the rebels, what possible defence will
they have Such thoughtlessness or crimi-
nality Is inexplicable.

Information from COntrabandss
However the ro.slaveryites may turn and
twist the question in their efforts to keep in
bondage every cOlOred person in the land,
the kct yet remains that all through this
war our most important information regard
ing the movements and strength of the enc
my has been received from contrsbands who
escape to our lines, and in no case have these
informants proved tresoherous or acted a
false part This plain fact is indisputable,
and overihrows all the arguments Of the semi
secessiOnists as to their reliability, and shows
up, in all its absurdity and inhumanity, the
orders of those generals who command that
no fugitives shall be allowed entrance to our
camps. As it has been in all cases, hereto
fore, 50 it was in regard to the evacuation Of
Manassas and Oentreville. The Alexandria
Chronicle of Monday morning. says;
aGen. Kearney, Of the New Jersey brig
ade, who now occupies Fairfax station, sent
in EoIl to headquarters yesterday that the
rebels we're evacusting Manassas, and taking
away all their heaviest guns.
"Gen. Kearney obtained his information,
we understand, from contrabands who had
escaped from the enemy's lines"
And when our troops arrived at those
points they obtained their information as 10
the strength of the rebels before the evacua
ton, and also as to the direction in'which
the flying army had gone, from other con-
trabands.
Again, in Commodore DapOnFs official re-
port Of the capture of Fernsadina, he says
that he learned from contraband, who had
been picked up at sea, that the rebels had
abandoned the whole of the defences of Fer
nandina, and were then retreating from Ame-
La ISLAND, carrying with them all the property
and munitions which their precipitate fight
would allow. Upon this information, which
was subsequently found to be correct Com.
Dupont shaped his course.
twill be remembered that Just previous to
the reception by Gen. Grant of the offer Of
capitulation Of Gen. Buckner at Fort DOnel-
son, contraband who had escaped from the
fort, brought word to the former officer that
Floyd had escaped, and that all the troops in
the fort that could do 80, were decamping.-
Knowing thus Of their flight and disOrdered
condition, Gen Grant was the more ready to
send back his alfnataus of "immediate and
unconditional surrender"
In view Of all the facts, Of which these are
only samples, how criminal appears the con-
duct of these officers who refuse to receive
these reliable reporters from he enemy's
camps, and how eminsntly wise are the di-
rectiOns given by Secretary Welles, that ne
groes should be treated like everybody else
in the rebel States, conquered, If enemies, but
f friends FsseiVed az such. Mr.. Welies settled
the whole business in q dozen lines, so far as
the Navy is concerned, and promptly as well
as decisiYely.
