Of the audience for "Ivy Green" which he
gave by special request. Our Chicago con-
cert goers should know Mr.. Root better.
The evening was closed with tsRally Round
thc F1ag,'' sang by Mr. Lunbard, the entire
company joining in the chorus. Miss Tilling-
hast and Mi, Root giving the accompani-
mcrt.
On The whole, as We have already said, the
concert WIS success, and the $400 which was
realized from the sale Of tickets, will, We
trust, find its way In numberless forms to the
bedside Of many sick or wounded soldier.
It would, we think, be profitable to rcpeatthc
affair at an carly day.
Thomas Alexander Moore.
Among the Killed Of The ttglorious old
Nineteenth Illinois, at the recent sansuinary
fight ut Murfreesboro, is THOMAS ALEXANDER
MOORE, son Of the late Dr.. Thomas P. Moore,
Of Warren, R. l., aged shout twenty. About
two years since, young Moore came to this
city and entered the counting room Of the
TRIBUNE. His intelligence and fidelity soon
gained for him the warm regards Of his en-
ploycrs. Although very desirous Of entering
the service when the fall Of Sumter took
place, he was persuaded from doing SO, until
the railroad accident at Seymour, Indiana, so
sadly reduced the numbers Of tho glorious
Nineteenth. He then announced his positive
determination to unite himself with the for
tunes Of that regiment, and Immediately
Joined it ut Cincinnati. From that time until
the day Of his death, he was faithful to SOL
dicr's duty, and thus won the applause Of his
snpe1iors. On the 4th inst, ut Murfreesboro,
while his regiment was making the gallant
charge, ne described BY our correspondent,
the deadly aim Of the enemy sent him sudden
II into the presence Of his God. There will
be many, many tears, for the young hero who
has thus laid down his life in defense of lis
country. ....
Sofled Postage Stamps.
We 1ea.4 s1--- -1> IN last creulug, about
eight hundred persons had deposited soiled
stamps at the Chicago Postofice for redemp-
lion. There are but nine days more in which
ills description Of stamps will be received
for redemption. All that remain in private
hands after fhat date will prove dead lossto
theloldera. There is not the slightest proba-
bi1ity that the Pcstefice Department willeYer
ngaiu engage in the redemption Of soiled
stamps; and as they are not received in pay
meut Of postage, after the expiration Of the
aboye named time {22Sd of Jannasy}, they will
be wholly worthless. It will be we'll, there
fore, both fer people in the city and the coun-
try, 10 lose no time in depositing whatever
amount Of soilcd stamps they may have on
hand. The Department has incurred large
expense In .redeeming stamps; it Las given
timely notice Of the period in which dcpos-
Its will be received, and if, after all this, the
holders Of stamps neglect to comply with the
terms prescribed, they can blame no one but
themselves.
We learn that the Postmaster will COM
mtnee payment on certificates for soiled
stamps on the 24th inst, and will continue
paying in the order in which deposits were
made, as fast rs the stamps can be examined
and counted.

placed in confinement. Shortly afterwards
he applied to jerome Meyer, esq, 10 60 Ills
bail, promising to give him certified check
for 900. Meyer signed the bond, and the doc
tor was again released. The next day hc drove
a pair Of horses, attached to buggy, to MeJ-
er's office, and told him hc wished to use the
money, and he would give him bill of sale
Of the horses and buggy, and . mortgage up
on his Office furniture in lieu Of the check.
This Mr. Meyer accepted, with the under-
standing that Stanley WAS to use the horscand
buggy. Not long since, Mr. Mcyer discovered
that the property Of which he had bill Of sale
did not belong to DR.. Stanley, but was owned
By Wright d Currier, Stanley having no In
terest in them whatever. Perceiylng that he
had been induced to sign the bail upon mis-
representations, he surrendered the doctor to
| the officers, and he was again lodged in Jail to
await the termination Of the trial.
