Carr. HUsrooN.--By request we pub
lish the following extract from private
letter written by an officer now in the Yer
mont Cavalry, in relation to Capt, Hun
soon. 1t but confirms the opinion which
ali acquainted with him, so tar as our
knowledge extends, have of the Captain.
The letter says:
There is na one in our regiment who
will ever believe that Frank Huntoon is a
coward. 1t has always been said by ev-
cry one, by all officers, that Huntoon was
as fearless an officer as there was in the
regiment; and all officers that We're with
him when he was taken testify to the same
fact, and say he fought to the last on foot
until he was overpowered and obliged to
give up. Capt. Woodward tells the same
story. He was taken at the same time,
while lying disabled under his horse. AT
ter he was paroled he said he saw Hun
toon lighting hand to hand with the rebels.
Mosby lost his horse in the melee"

NEwBERN, N. c., June THE following
lsfrom the Raleigh State Journal, secession
paper: Nv e fear that the same conflict be-
tween the state authorities and the confederate
government which was witnessed in this state
at the session of the last legislature, is to be
resumed. The governor has assumed the
position of an avOwed advocate of the suprem-
acy of the state judges, and has in advance de
clded all cases against the claims of the con-
federate government. We have observed
with regret recent order of the governor, by
which he commands of the officers Of the state
to resist by force the arrest of any person
claimed as a conscript who has once been dis
charged by the decision of state Judge. We
LOOK with alarm upon these unsettled and
conflicting claims. The only honest course
for a state of the confederacy is to give her all
for the contest now raging, or to quit the field
at once. There can be no divided service
compatible either with honor or safety

WASHINGTON, June l0.-The term of en-
listment of invalid corps is to be for three
years, unless sooner discharged. The corps
will be required to perform all duties within
the limit of their physical capacity, but for
convenience of service they will be selected
for three grades of duty. The most able
bodied and capable of using the musket will
be assigned to companies Of the first battal-
ion; those who have lost hand or an arm
to the second battalion, and those who have
lost a leg or foot to the third battalion.
The two last will be armed with swords. No
one will be admitted to the corps whose prev
ious record does not show that he is mertori-
Gus and deserving. Those faithful soldiers
whose physical infrmities are too great to
admit of their being of any service will

MAJOR A. HAFFKILL, who was killed in the
battle before Port Hudson, was Danish no.
bleman, polished and highly educated Off
GER who had never been out of military SER
vice since his boyhood--holding the position
of aid-de-camp to the king Of Denmark, and
possessing honorary titles and badges signed
by his majesty, of which the outer world knew
nothing, but which the Major felt proud of
making known among his intimate friends.
When this war broke out Major Haffkill-
in the true spirit of chivalry, and conscious of
his knowledge of his profession-obtained
permission to come here and distinguish him
self-with the proviso from his Danish majes-
ty that whenever he wished to return to his
native land, his former position and honors
were open TO him.
He originally came out in the humble posi-
ton OF assistant engineer under Gen. Banks,
never doubling that his military talents and
experience would insure him speedy promo
zion as soon as he could acquire some little
knowledge of our language, of which he then
knew nothing. He soon found employment
in the Notifications of Baton Rouge, which
are pronounced by all judges the very finest
in the country, and which, it is well known,
are due mainly to the scientific skill of Major
Hatfkill who planned and superintendent them
from beginning to end. Latterly he was pro-
NOTED to the rank of Major of the Third Ma.
tive Guards, (colored)-a regiment against
which he had no prejudice, for he often said
that, with such discipline as he count upon in
our colored regiments, he expected to make
better troops of them than we could ever form
out of white men, without that leading SOL
dierIy qualification.
Major Hafkill was not generally known
and appreciated as he ought to have been
| His imperfect acquaintance with our language
which he was, however, acquiring with
wonderful rapidity-added to his innate mod

law. No pensions, premiums, or bounties
will be allowed for enlistment in the invalid

They will receive all other pay and allow

there are from 10000 to 10000 soldiers now
performing such duties as could be discharged
by men under the provisions of the act Great

that there are over 100, 900 soldiers who have

New York, June 10.-Advices per the
Cahawba state that achievements from
Brashear City and other points to the number
of six thousand, reached Gen. Banks on the
3Oth and 3lst, and our troops then outnum-
bered the rebels four to one. The rebels are
entirely hemmed in and no succor can reach
them. Their force is variously stated from
six thousand to ten thousand. They are well
supplied with corn meal, but have few other
provisions and small supply of ammunition.
1t was believed to be impossible for them to
hold out long.

HUMPHREY MARsHALL's CAREER IN KEN
TUcKY.-A correspondent of the Louisville
journal, writing from Owsey county, KY,
speaks as follows of Humphrey Marshalps
misdeeds -
"Marshall has committed crimes most hor
rible TO mention, or to be recorded on the
pages of living history in a civilized country
like this. From the time he entered the Dor
ders of this state he commenced the execu.
ton of his orders issued some time last win
ter. He committed rapine and murder, and
burned houses and took all the horses on his
line of march. He plundered houses and
took all he desired, and left the inmates even
without knife or fork to eat with. He took
all the bacon and corn from divers families
that scarcely had enough for their own con-
sumption. He killed good citizens OF Wolfe
county, without judge or jury; he also killed
in Owsley a Mr.. Collins, whom they hung
three or four times in order to make him an
swer such questions as they desired him to
answer When they went to execute him a
man was detailed to shoot him, but the cap of
his gun failed to explode, and he turned away,
saying he could not shoot him; but another,
with a more adamantine heart, stepped for
ward, and said, with an oath, Il can shoot
him, and shot him dead, while holding up his
hands imploring them to release him, to go

solaced him in griet.'
