----Another interesting letter. from

Mountain Department, will be found,
also, on the first page These letters,
from our own boys, written as they are,
without the pretensious display of pro-
fessional "reporters for the press caa-
not fail to interest our readers. They
give the fresh impressions Of those who
have no purpose to deceive, and may be
relied upon in SO far as they profess to
state facts.
- Lieut.. Frank Metealf's letter,
also, on the first page of to-day's paper,
will, no doubt, thrill the hearts of many
of our readers, and especially of those
who have friends in that division of the
army. Don't fail to read it. 1t comes
from Franklin, Va
IA short letter from J. W. Will
liams, of the 40th Ohio, dated at "Camp
Brownlow, KY" will also be found on
the first page, 1t is sad to read that
40th, since it went to KY" We shudder
at the horrors of the battle field But
the real suferings of the army are not
\ caused by the weapons of the enemy
When this internal rebellion is sup
. will be draped in mourning for the brave
boys who have died Of fatigue, exposure
and disease, for every one that is so
smitten by the direct hands of the rebels
in battle. May God and all true citi-
zens comfort the friends of all thus
sacrificed.
--"Hew to make friends" by our
correspondent, "Brutus, will also be
found on the first page. By the way,
we see the Ironton Register, and others
of our exchanges are doing "Brutus
the compliment of copying his articles
on "Whisperers and Backbiters," which
have been. published in previous nun
bers of the Telegraph:
---- The foregoing, together with an
article on ."Alcoholic drinks in the
Army"-"The Shibboleth" Men and
Women nowadays Army Nurses =
&c, make up the first page-a 'sheap
of good reading, as Tom Corwin would
say.
The outrage on "hag of truce" {"
on the fourth page, is another link in
the chain ofeyidence demonstrating the
barbarism of the rebels. No one car
read it without having his blood to boil
at the atrocious ferocity of the worse
than brutal savagism of. those engaged
in this rebellion.
The general order No. 25, by Gene.
raj Butler, at New Orleans, will also bt
found on the fourth page. This is {
peculiarly Butlerish document. RJ
the way, General Butler is bringing ths
rebels of the Crescent City, both male
and female, to a "realizing sense of theil
condition When it is recollected th a
General Butler voted ffty-seven time.
for JEFF Dayis>in the last Dem ocratit
convention, it nearly chokes The En-
qatrer to shout "Abolitionists'' at him
But it has to be done. 1t, is part O
the programme. And BENZ. F. Butler
who has been the craftsman of ever
Democratic platform for the last twent,
years, now that he sustains the Govern
: ment against the conspirators, is Dc
nounced by every partisan sheet in tn
country as a BLACK Republican boil
ton- Radical -Fanatiel'' Three cheer
for General Butler!

into the rebel Army" Baltimore
ans opinion of tenderness to traitors
-"Guerrilla outrages" Woma

in New York" &C., make up the fourt
page.
On the inside will be found Ed
torial matter-telegraphic news-rt
port Of Soldiers Aid soeiety-Counc
proceedings-letter from Capt. Lasle
letter from Camp Gauley, &c, &c
&c. A pretty good supply of readin
for three cents, we think.
