Mn. EDIToR--S,r: In your issue oil
the 18th inst, correspondent flourish
ing the nom de plume of "More Anon
informs you that Lieut.. Chastain, COM
manded the detachment from this regi-
ment which succeeded in capturing the
rebel Colonel Smith and others. "More
Anon" is incorrect in this statement, and
to rectify it am now employing few
leisure moments.
Lieut.. .Exum, Of company 1, comman-
ded the detachment and led the boys as
they dashed up to surround the house
Lieut. 3. received the orders necessary
before the expedition left camp; and Lieut..
Chastain was in ignorance of the point OF
attack until he had arrived nearit. Then
Lieut.. e. unfolded the plan to him. The
latter person was the first to enter the
house in which the rebels were, and had
succeeded in capturing and disarming
them before "More Anons" command had
arrived on the ground. This, Mr.. Ed
itor is the true version of the affair, and
you will confer a lasting obligation on
Lieutenant E's friends by inserting the
above.
Wishing you long life and brilliant
success,
remain yours, ETC.,

mem When it was claimed on this
ground that slavery was neediul TO cul
tiyate the South, they used to say white
men could raise cotton and rice as well

& Now let US alter the case little. The
pro-slavery party have always insisted
that the South must have negro slaves,
because white men could not labor in
that region. Bot now that the Govern.

diers of large part of the toll and ex-

by orgaizinga "Corps d'Afrique," these

that they are seeking 70 destroy our
