The CAUCASIAN, therefore, has deeper slgnifi-

with the press. 1t is simply refusal to allow

A YOUNG SOLDIERS SISTER.

A lad of less than sixteen, named Darling
from PittsfIeld Mass, recently enlisted in Capt.
Cromwell's company, in the Northern Black
Horse Cavalry. On learning that he had sick
mother at home, who was sadly afflicted by bis
departure, the captain discharged the youngster
and sent HIM home as the brave lad supposed on
furlough. He has received the following
acknowledge of his kindness from the sis

to serve his country under your especial gui-

self in the more humble capacity of staying at
home and minding his mother.

he possesses the strength of Hercules, the saga

FREEDOM OF THE PRESS.
SIMON CAMERON,
Secretary of War.
TO THE PUBLIC.

"When man thinketh he standoth, let aim
take heed lest he lall," is sentiment never
more forcibly illustrated than in our own case.
Last week we explained TO our readers the
grounds upon which The CAUCASIAN was ad-
milted to the mails, and expressed our conf
dent 5eicfthat no further trouble need be an
ticipa!ed. This week, however, our business
has been again suddenly and most unexpected
ly arrested BY an order from the Post-ofice
Department prohibiting The CAUCASIAN from
circulating in the mails. With our paper in
type. and the press waiting, we determined
this time to proceed to Washington and gain
by personal investigation the reasons, if pos
sible, for SO strange proceeding. We have
the gratrGcat,nn to state that + here is no charge
that we have violated the terms of our letter
to the Postmaster IN New York, or that we
have not acted in entire good faith in the mat
ter. And more, there is no charge that we
have opposed the war--that we have advoca-
ted secession or laid ourselves liable 20 any
charge of dlsloyalty, unless it be disloyal TO
oppose negro freedom. Our only, our sole
cause of offending, SO far as we can learn IS,
that-we have advocated the subordination Of

came, and It was noticed that Aunt Patty took
unusual pains with her dress whenever be was

Aunt Patty left with disgust and went into
