present that Col. Starr was among the
very first to rush from his quarters with
side arms in hand, and hearing the cry
surrender" and seeing nothing better
could be done, he surrendered his lib
erty rather than his life.
Now, Mr.. Editor, [ have given a
simple statement of facts as gathered
them from those who were present with
holding my own comments, leaving Il
candid public to judge for itself
in the premises. And in conclusion we
cincerely hope that "Frank' will in the
future withhold from the public, his
Fprivate conclusion in relation to the acts
Of his comrades in arms and thereby
withhold the blow that would add a
wound to the heart already bleeding for
husband whose liberty is sacrificed
upon the altar of his country.

NEW ITEMS S :.

IA writer from Memphis draws a
dreary picture of the state of things in
that city. 1t seems that Gen. Sherman,
to replenish the exhausted treasury of
the city authorized anybody to open a
doggery on the payment of twenty five
dollars. The first consequence is, that
nearly every house in the city is turned
into doggery, in which every poison
Gus compound is sold to all applicants.
And the resulting effect is au indiscrib-
able scene of riotous drunkenness, IN
which our soldiers are becoming utterly
demoralized.
----Gen. Curtis is reported to have been
superseded in the command of the army
in Arkansas. The cause is supposed to
be his inability or his unwillingness to
catch and return the slaves of the reb-
els of that State, in his long and tedious
march of some hundreds of miles, on
half rations, ard harrassed all the way
by the rebel army.
Correspondent from Washing
ton, say the Government lacks supply
of guns for the new recruits. This
seems hardly credible. True it has
taken an immense number to supply the
rebels. But, with all Europe for mar
ket, and hundreds of manufa ctories at
home, it seems incredible that we should
not be able to buy and make arms faster
than the rebels can take them from US,
SO that we ought to have a surplus on
hand. We guess there are few left.
1t is said that Col. Rodney Ma
son is to be tried by Court Martial for
his cowardly surrender of his force to
an inferior number of guerrillas at
Clarksville, Tennessee. He ought to
be shot as warning to others. His
surrender was the most disgraceful
scene of this incomprehensible war.
IA accommodating force sent out
by Gen. McClennard, a few days since,
came upon body of $50 rebel cavalry
near Bolivar, where they were waiting
to intercept union supply train. Our
scouts attacked them, killed thirty,
captured one hundred and took two hun
dred horses. Our loss was five killed
and ten wounded.
The Guerrillas are prowlina
through Tennessee in squads, destroyi ne
all the bridges in the country, burnin e
the cotton that the people have secreted
stealing and destroying tho property Of
all who are suspected of the slightest
lingering spark of loyalty to the cause
of the Union.
! Bands of assassins line the banks
of the Lower Ohio and Mississippi riv.
ers, firing into the boats as they pass
with no other apparent object than tc
crafty the desire to murder, which
seems to possess the minds Of rebels in
general.

grief in Kentucky. Large numbers Of

".
Editor Telegraph:-In your last issue,
is list of what purports to be the sub
scriptions of persons to the Military
fund
My name being used in that list, in a
forged, false, and malicious manner,
I would request the privilege of making
a statement in your paper giving the
truth in regard to the matter, to the
public.
When Sam Moore called on me with
his subscription, he told me that he
wanted to raise funds sufficient to pay
bounty of twenty dollars per head, to
all that would enlist in this township,
and stated he had a large amount al
ready subscribed.
1 replied to him, that I had, last year,
advanced large amount to sustain the
Government and had now, about fifteen
hundred dollars yet due me, on which I
expected to sustain loss in amount, ex-
ceeding any subscription on his list; but
nevertheless if they could obtain more
volunteers than they had funds to pay
the bounty for, that he might call on me,
and I would not "refuse to give"
You can well imagine, that after I
had furnished more means probably
than any individual in the county to
sustain the Government, that I am not
very much pleased to have false state
ment made, to injure me, (by mush :
room draft-patrio:) to convey the idea
that I am not willing to do my part to
sustain it.
presume that the object in view, is
to divert trade from me, to a lot of salty
goods below here, which the owners are
very anxious to sell to volunteers and
their friends, as well as to coopers, if
they can pump in draft patriotism
enough to cover the salty prices attached.
There is large number of home
patriots in this vicinity, who, if their
tongues were sufficient weapons, would
crush the rebellion in double quick
time. But call on them to enlist, or
give dollar, and they refuse 20 do
either, but will give you any informa-
ton about the conduct of the war, will
! tell you which General is right and
which is wrong, will recommend arm
ing the negroes to massacre their mas
tiers and their families, so as to exter-
inmate the breed.
Some are so uncharitable as to say,
that the patriotism of some of the contrib
utors to the Military fund, consists of
fear of beng drafted themselves! But
I hope they are all actuated by higher
m olives, Notwithstanding this extraor-
dinary enthusiasm, is just on the eve of
the draft to fill the army.
The injustice of inserting two names
of Democrats with "refused to give in
the list, without their knowledge or
consent and omitting all the names of
Republicans and Abolitionists, who
omitted or ''refuscd to give makes it
apparent to all, that there is a party
axe to grind in the case also.
The abuse and denunciation of Dem
ocrats, with the approbious epithets of
traitors, buttcrnuts and other terms,
shows plainly that some of the treasury
eaters are fearful of the coming elections
and would like to get their ''loaves and
fishes" insured.

the war, or three years.

they continue in the service that length of
time.

knives, left the plantations and came in
body to the city, expecting there to
find protection from our army. Ar
irving in the city they were set upon by
the secession police, which is still al
lowed to exercise slave hunting juris-
dictioa. The negroes resisted, and
were getting the better of the police,
when a party of Maine soldiers came to
their aid, and the blacks were overcome
and carried off to prison. One of them
was killed, and six or seven manned aud
wounded. The secession Coroner's jury
which sat on the killed, pronounced it
a case ofjustifable killing.
There is a law of Congress declaring
that the negroes Of rebels who come to
our lines shall not be delivered up
These loyal blacks came to our lines,
aud under our military protection the
rebel hunting police of New Or
leans are not only allowed to attack and
kill them for it, but our own soldiers
turn in and help to butcher them
| When was it ever heard Of before that
an army in hostile country, surrounded
by enemies, turned in and helped them
to butcher its own friends, who were
coming to its aid? What success could
be expected for cause directed by such
intelligence and such treachery? The
facts in this case we derive from the
correspondent of the New York Herald,
which is authority sufficiently pro-
slavery and secession.
The pretext on which the Govern
ment is waging war is to execute the
laws. Here is law openly and treach
erously violated by the President S sub
ordinates. Is it not time that some def
nate orders should be issued from the
Commander Chief on this matter?
The same arrival brings an account
of another military exploit. A gun
boat landed on a shore of the river,
every point of which is infested By
guerrillas, who fire upon our unarmed
transports, and suppressed negro in
surrection. The male inhabitants were
absent in the rebel armies, or as guer-
rillas. They can stay in security now,
knowing that our forces are overseeing
their slaves. A slave insurrection In
the vicinity of our occupation means an
attempt Of the negroes to escape to our
| lines. 1t was this that our naval and
land forces put down. How many ne
groes they killed is not stated, nor how
many of the gunboat men were shot by
the guerrilla masters, on their way
down the river. Is this war, or are
We paying three or four millions day,
and sacrificing ten thousand loyal
Northern young men month to dis
ease and battle in the South merely to
play the driver and the hound for the
slaveholders?'-Cm. Ga=ette.
| That is the way the last Cincinnati
Gazette talks. Now it is our opinion
that the Government ought to suppress
! the Gazette, Or the practice which it
condemns. For surely, if the things
referred to are to be tolerated, the honor of
our country, in the estimation OF the
civilized world, requires that the publ
cation of them ought to be prohibited.

On THE WAY TO WHEELING.-lM.
Editor: In your issue Of the 14th, we
find letter from Camp Meadow Bluff,
in which there is very ungenerous
thrust az the officers in command, at
Sommerville; and especially is it to-
ward Col. Starr, who was in command at
that place. Now we do not desire to
cover up the faults of inefficient officers,
but we think that it is due to Col Starr
and his distressed family, as we'll as to
the 9th Va. Regiment, that simple
statement Of facts be submitted to a
candid public; and then if there is "but
little, If any Sympathy felt for them, it
will be time enough for your correspon-
dent, Crank" to publish it to the world.
When Col. Starr was ordered to Som
merville it was known that he was man
of very little military experience, and it
was also known that at least three sides
of his position were constantly infested
with the worst of Moccasin Rangers,
but despite these facts, the 9th Va.
soon became terror to the bush whack-
ers, and horse thieves of that region
through the influence of the (now) Or
thodox, and very efficient means used by
these men, under command Of Col. Starr.
And it was the stern realities of his OF
ders faithfully executed by the men un-
der his command, on the scout referred
to by Crank, - that had more to d. in
bringing down upon Sommerville, the
raid in which he, and 60 of his men
were captured, than anything else. It
is due to him, further, to say that while
on that tour of stall scoating," referred
to by ''Frank, " the Colonel won the admi-
ration of his men. But he was captured
and carried away prisoner! and this is
"shameful' and :'disgace.''
Now if Col. Starr was the only man
ever taken by surprise, Crank" might,
with show of propriety have called it
"shametuz,' which would by no means
follow, as matter of course, for some
of the best officers Of the world have
been surprised and taken in the sam e
way. We do not understand that to be
surprised and captured, is, of itself,
shameful and "denora l;zing," but that
it is the circumstances connected with
an event that determins its character
Now, the Colonel had his pickets out, as
we'll as camp guard, who did theil
duty as far as possible. The pickets
fired but were out-run; the camp guard
fred and fought until two were wounded
and such was the impetuosity of the en-.
envy, that before the officers or men coulo
get out of their quarters to see the cause
Of alarm; the streets were filled with
rebel Cavalry.
We are eredibly informed by those

Capt. Goodwin's company, Of tn e
Fifty fourth Indiana, were attacked at
