controversy with Capt. Gains, and we
publish this reply TO his efusion in Sste
Democrat, simply 70 place the facts Salr-
" before a discriminating public, and let /
them Judge IfaAy injustice has been
done Capt. Gains, we are not RESPONSE
BILE for it. Wehave given the authority
or \ part of ton which we predicated
the innocent item that has called down
upon us the polite epithets of the Cap
tain.
If he is satisfied in his conscience that
he has done right in all this matter, he
ought to be satisfied with the reward OF
an approving conscience. Ifhe finds 1t
lawful soothin' to heap abusive epithets
upon us, and can End medium, let him
indulge in the pleasure to his heart $
content. Such epithets only injure the
author. We are far too old to allow
anything of the kind to disturb our equa'
nimity.
We have never Intentionally done an!
one an injury or an injustice, and as We
had no acquaintance with, or enmity to
wards Capt Gaines, we could have III
motive to do him injustice, and no san
or sensible man will suppose we woul
attempt to do injustice to any one witt
ont a motive or a cause.
The Captain winds up his communlc'
ton to the Rockport Democrat by
kindly admonition to our ''chief to III
honest Democrats alone, mind his ow
business, employ sober associate, an
to repent of ali the evil he has done.
This is good advice, and we shall u
our influence to have it followed. b
had it not been for this last paragral
10 which our attention has just bee
called, we should not have known Il
: politics of the redoubtable Captain,
1 he is indeed an honest Democrat, he
; valuable acquisition to the FEEDER
: Army, and it will afford us pleasure
publish his deeds of gallantry in adj

GENERAL BANKS ExpEDrr1oN 1t is

GENERAL BANKS EXPEDITION, 1t is
now certain that Gen. Banks great ex-
petition did not go to Suffolk, Virginia,
which was supposed by many to be its
destination. 1t has already passed Fort
ress Monroe, on its way farther South
The rebels (who have generally managed
to keep well posted as to the destination
of our great enterpris esq have concluded
that Wilmington, n orth Carolina, is the
point at which the Yankee General will
land, and the inhabitants of that city are
in pretty much of perturbed state OF
mind. They appear to dread the APP
pearanee of Gen. Banks star, because
they ha We faith that it is in the ascend
ant, and that whatever he undertakes
will. be successfully accomplished.
Our own hope is that Gen. Banks has
been sent to look after Charleston, S G..
Massachusetts owes South Carolina one.
She cannot forget the violent assault
upon her chosen Senator by a rufhan,
whose act was applauded by his South
Carolina constituents. How very appro-
, propriate, then, for Massachusetts, to send
another of her sons to humble the haugh
! ty, aristocratic, and rebellious little Pal
: metto kingdom. If Charleston is the
point aimed at, we will hear of it in
+ few days
A Southern dispatch, however, say
= that several large vessels had passe'
n Charleston on Sunday, going South. l
4 was supposed they were going to Mobile
Probably the idea is to take Mobile, Sa
,e vannah, Charleston, and Richmond a
# about the same time. If so, Amen.

SAun Houses.

Through the kindness of Phil Horn
brook, Esq, who was appointed at the !
meeting held November 29th, to adopt |
some system of relief for the poor OF our
city, to confer with the managers of the
Cincinnati Soup Houses, we have been
furnished with the following:
CINCINNATI SOUP HOUSE STEAM FIXTURES.
Boiler and Doctor Engine cost 500;
two Kettles of As gallons each, $3.50; one
Kettle of % gallons, Gncluding pipes)
$40; one Tank, capacity $50 gallons,
$50.
FOR 100 GALLONS SOUP.
$50 lbs beef at % cents per pound, !
'ssio',''ee5 --s--..~---- uaeek onions. ] peck
cook and assistant SIS per week.
Families Wishing dru, apply to the
overseer of the ward in which they live,
and it is his duty to visit the family and
ascertain the number and circumstances
and report to the Directors. They fur
nish the applicant with a pass book sta
ting the name, number of family, resi-
dence and number of rations per week
A ration is one-third of loaf of bread,
and one pint of soup. I w..
The pass book is presented at the desk
of the Soup House, the date is entered,
and a ticket is given, stating the number
of rations, which is presented to the cook
and retained by him on delivery of the
rations Thus record is kept and each
party is checked. Last winter from
1900 to $500 rations were issued daily
/ for four months.
The meat and vegetables are furnished
by contract; also the bread, the price of
which is determined by the price of -four
! Thus if for the month -four rates at
81 80 per 196 lbs, so 1876 lbs of bread
costs the soup-house 81 50-the increase
in weight from -four to bread being one
SIXTH or five lbs of -four making six lbs.
of bread.
One of the directors, or some person
for small compensation, keeps the &C
counts.
The average cost per ration is l cent
and 54-100
In Coyington, Ky, last winter, a soup
house was established The soup was
made in field or agricultural kettle,
which cost, say, $50 Two female cooks
were employed From seven to nine
hundred ratIons were issued daily, at a
cost of cent and $1,000 per ration.
We would ask, What have the COM
mittee done that was raised to canvass
the city for signatures to petition ask
ing the Board Of County Commissioners
to make an appropriation for the relief
of the poor? In our opinion, that is the
only just plan that can be adopted. Then
all, according to their property, give;
whereas, if the subscription plan is
adopted, it is only the liberal who give,
and very often
