~ Ohus 4Ol ICOSs
Editors Inteligcncer:
see in your valuable paper of Jan. 9th,
that the Legislature. have repealed the I'd,
Sd and 4th sections of the act proyiding .
Tor the organization of patrols during the
war, what made them do that? Are they
going to take the arms from us, and have
us without anything to defend ourselves,
our families and our property. do not
think that is just way to save the loyal
people ont here in the backwoods, among
the seceSh. Allw ask of the Governor or
Legislature, is to allow us to keep our arms
and equipments till the war is over and to
furnish us with musket caps or allow us TO
buy them, and we will buy powder and
lead aud make our own cartridges. We
have earned no pay, and if we had
we would not ask for it. One gentle
man said the expense of the patrol busi-
ness had been enOrmous-had cost in his
own county theawfuI sum OF five hundred
dollars! There is no doubt if it had not
been for the patrols he would have had
property to the value of five times that
amount destroyed blythe rebels. All that
was the matter with him, was that he was
sorry that so much money did not slide
into his pocket.
The gentlemen of the Legislature keep
their eyes SO fixed steadily on the almighty
dollar that they can not see us poor devils
away out here in the woods and hills. If
their wages was knocked down to a
dollar aud n half per day instead of
four dollars, they could then sec dan
ger all around. l do not think these gen
tlemen were sent to the Legislature
to disarm us and leave us at the mercy of
the rebels. should judge they were sent
there for better purpose. And there
they are receiving four dollars per day, or
about one hundred and twenty dollars per
month, while the poor soldiers are out in
all the wet and cold and get only thirteen
dollars per month and the gentlemen are
not doing any more good than the patrols
were. think some of them are tainted
considerable with secesh, or they would
not want the act repealed so bad. They
know that an ounce preventative is bet
ter than pound of cure, so they want to
get the preventative (the musket) out Of
the way. They are grumbling about the
expenses of the patrol business while they
are getting four dollars per day. There is
no need of their receiving more than half
that sum. A good many of us soldiers
would be glad to get four dollars per month
All the young men in this nelghborhood
have gone to fight for their country, leav.
ing the old men and boys at home, and
now they are to be deprived of the only
protection they have, and left to the mercy
of the black hearted rebels. They will
soon show their cloven foot. hope the
Governor will have mercy or us if the Leg
islature does not. Curtail the wages of
the big officers, free the slaves, and push
the army on the rebels and this unholy re-
bellion will soon cease.
Yours respectfully,
j. REED, Carney Guards.

From the n. Y. world.)
The New Secretary OF War and wins

~ 4huAcaGeSs
The appointment of AIR. Stanton, n mod
crate Democrat, rs Mr. Cameron's success
or, is signal illustration of the Presidents
superiority to narrow party views, and his
determination that this war, for the up-
holding OF the Constitution and the re-
establishment of the Union, shall be so
managed as to secure the united and hearty
support of the great body of the nation
AIR. Stanton Is an eminent lawyer of Pitts
burg. He is eloquent aud able, and though
6ut little known in public life, has long
ranked as one of the leaders of the Penn
sylVania bar. When General Cass re-
signed in December, 1861, and Mr.. Black
was promoted to the office of Secretary of
State, Mr.. Stanton was appointed Attor-
ney-General, and, with Gen. Dix and Mr..
Holt, contributed to infnse into the admin
lstration ofMr. Buchanan the tardy patri-
otism which blazed up in it's expiring days.
The appointment of Democrat to ill this
vacancy in the cabinet is deserved recog-
milton of the loyalty and patriotic alacrity
OF the Democratic party in the Northern
States. When the old party distinctions
have been we'll nigh obliterated by the eff
iorts OF a common patriotism, it would not
become the President of the United States
to administer the government on strict par
ty principles
In fact, Mr.. Lincoln has but adopted n
course which the Republican masses have
approved in advance by setting him the
example in the recent state elections. In
several of the states, and particularly in
New York, the Republican electors voted
as cordially for Democrats as for Repub-
licans, patriotically sinking all party diff
erences in the common cause.

The Way People i'm the Country are
lmPosed ON with bogus News.
[From tlle Tyler Connty PIninlenler.l

From the Tyler County Plainlcaler.1
1t is too bad, the way we are hoaxed out
here, every day or two, by some chance
traveller, who happens to be passing
through. Cut off from daily communica5
tion with the cities, we are always anxious
to hear what is transpiring in regard to
military matters, &c. A man rides along
and reports himself just from Wheeling,
and when asked the news, knowing our
situation, he invariably reports huge
battle, peace declared for ninety days, or
some other such absurd story, and rides
on, laughing in his sleeve at the ex
citement he has created, which general
ly continues for two or three days,
until the arrival of the mail or an
other traveller, when the report is contra
dicted. 1t would be great blessing, du-
ring these war times, if we could manage,
somehow or other. to have at least tri-
weekly mail between this place and Wheel
ing, this winter. We cannot depend upon
the river conveyance any longer, until
spring. We make the suggestion. We do
not think it would be very expensive, in
dividually, if every one would do their part
and all are equally anxious :Or the news.
But if this cannot be accomplished, then
we are in favor of catching every man and
Swearing" him, before asking any ques-
tions. The truth, the whole truth, ETC.,
etc.

Co. b, Lieut.. BIxBY; Co. d, Lieut.,

amounting in all to eighty-eight men,
rank and file. On the first day we ar
rested two men, supposed to be bush.
whackers, and captured two horses that
were concealed in a cornfeld. On the
morning of the 9th we routed Quantrell
and Childs' bands about two miles from
Sibley, they being posted in a lane on
the State road leading from Indepen-
dence 10 Lexington. We at the came
time espied pickets posted on Big Hill"
on the same road, which is one of the
most prominent heights in this county
The number and position Of their pickets
indicated a camp not far distant. Hav-
ing %ascerlained hat the rebels were en-
camped at a mill about a half mile from
Sibley, my force concentrated at that
place-reports varying, making their
forces from $50 to 800 strong. Having
sent for reinfurcements, | started 10 take
possession of "Big Hill," there TO await
them. While on the march to said point
we met the enemy commanded by Col.
Childs and the guerilla Quantrell; their
forces numbering, according TO Colonel
ChiIds' statement, 100. They fired upon
us. aud as usual, fed to the brush. |
dismounted my men and took 10 the brush
in like manner. Then ensued an almost
hand 10 hand fight, which lasted about
forty minutes, the contestants most of the
time not being more than forty yards
apart. We drove the rebels from the
field, captured Col. Childs, supposed TO
be morally wounded, three horses and
equipments, and one cavalry sabre. |
ordered my men to mount, and we star
ted in pursuit, though cautiously as we
passed through the brush. When we
approached the prairie | thought pursuit
useless. | then returned 10 the battle
