dollars to each volunteer and O monthly

the monthly allowance is to be dis.
bursed, the best that could be deyised2
The families to be benefited need II
in small sums, that they may purchase
articles for daily supplies. In the pre-
sent confused state of money matters.
it would be extremely difficult, if not
impossible, for them to change, without
very heavy discount, ten dollars Pa
rlsh Warrants, and it is hardly pre-
sumablo that many Of them would wish
or be able, to purchase at any store,
or Of any particular individual, the
whole amount of monthly warrant.
The consequence would be they would
be compelled to submit to an exhorbit-
ant discount. A few persons might
gain by discounting the warrants, but
tho bcncIiCiaries would be the losers,
Would it not be better to get dis
counted sum parish paper sufficient,
for few months at least, and distri-
butte in small sums2 If the paper could

humble vocation has been the quiet

arrived there on the 2sth, after two
days march. On the lst Of March, two
OF the enemy's gunboats were in sight
at about one o'clock, p. NJ. our artillery
(Miles) opened fire, but before our
regiment could form q line Of battle
the artillery had ceased firing and was
running shamefully.
AS soon as our line was formed, our
Col. marched us away from camp, into
ravine; being too much exposed there
we were moved in another one where
we remained until the enemies landed;
then the fire commenced on both sides.
but it was not long before the Federals
took to their heels for their gunboats.
Had it not been for misunderstand-

prisoners; we took only four prisoners
and killed one on shore but there were
