removed from the Office she sent back request that

I have been In doubt over since whether she
intended this . delicate satire or was serious
n she was in earnest think she will have no doubt
about Ship Island being place OF exile before she has
been there twenty -four hours. An experience OF two
months and half there, when the island crowded
was sufficient confound st Helena and the Garden Of
Eden in my mind.
Mrs Philips is q rather fine looking woman, and
dressed very neatly in white throughout.
SHOCKING BARBARrrY THE REBELS.
The General has been "down among the dead men"
to day, and has caused awful rattling among the
"dry bones" He had hardly finished with Mrs. Phillips
when, by his order, German, named Fidel Keller, was
brought before him, charged with bringing the United
States authorities into contempt and desecrang the
names Of the heroic dead by exhibiting to tho
Of the rude and heartless tho skeleton Of q human
being, which hs had labelled "Chickahominy,"
and had int,mated that it was all that was left
OF ssYankee soldier" slain at that battle. Keller
claimed that he had committed the act through gno-
rance and inclined to think that he told the truth
but the crime repugnant to every feeling OF de
csncy that to save the people from degeneratng
semi barharism it necessary TO punish the offence
with no htts severity He therefore sentenced to
two years hard labor at Ship Island. When this
was finished similar one was ready A Mr.. J. w. An

THE HEALTH CITY.
The Southern papers which we occasionally get par
ticularly those from Alabama and Mississippi with
the most outrageous fasehoods regard to the health
OF this city They do hesitate to assert that yellow
fever prevails here to extent almost epidemic and
that the mortality is very great For the sake Of the
numerous friends in the North Of the large body Of SOL
ders here feel 1t my duty to contradict this lying
statement fatty. There has not been Of yellow
fever here this summer and the fine dry atmosphere
which has prevailed p to tho present time leads the
closest observers among old residents TO believe that
that dsaded disease makes ts appearance at ALL il will
be late in the Every indication thus far has
been against tho probability Of the city being visited
this year BY this plague Of the South healthier
son than the present was probably known in
New Orleans and trust that those who indulge the
christian hope that the OF 1868 may be
