The lieutenant, with a squad OF his company,
was sent by Col. Binney TO Benedict Monday
to obtain recruits. Hearing that Sotheron had
two of his slaves tied up to keep them from
enlistinghe proceeded to Sotheron's house and
ordered the men to be released. Sotheron and
his son refused, and abused the lieutenant and
threatened to shoot him, both being heavily
armed. White then left and proceeded to the
field where several slaves were at work, fol-
lowed by the father and son, who demanded
their object The officer replied that he was
there to enlist those that were disposed.
After some abuse the Sotherons declared they
would kill him, and fired their guns, when
Lieut. White fell MORALLY wounded The

A DEsERrER.-A member of Co. A, 10Th
Veteran Regiment, Col. Beal, named Sawyer.
belonging in Biddeford, deserted the camp at
Augusta last Thursday, and walked all the
way from that place to Biddeford. Capt. John
NJ. Beal, TO whose company he belonged,
missed him Thursday night and Immediately
sent a soldier to Biddeford with orders to
watch in barn contiguous TO the house until
he saw the fellow enter or leave the house.
On Sunday Capt. Beal and Lieut.. Warehouse
went to Biddeford and found the soldier
watching, but no sign Of the deserter had been
seen. Sunday night they saw light in the
house for the first time. Capt. Beal immedi-
ately Knocked at the door and demanded en-
trance, but was answered, that if he attempted
to come in he did so at his peril. The door
was Immediately stove in, and upon entering,
Lieut.. Warehouse was met by Sawyer with q
chair, and was struck on one of his arms, dis
abling it. Capt. Beal then rushed in, clinched
the deserter, secured him and took him to the
lookup in Biddelord. The deserter sent for a
lawyer, who soon made his appearance, and
told Capt. Beal that he had no right to take
the man to Augusta. The lawyer was very
coolly informed that If he did not shut up and
make himself scarce he would be arrested for
assisting deserters to escape. He took the
hint and departed. Sawyer was then taken
into wagon, he having consented to go quiz
city, and conveyed by Capt. Beal to Augusta,
where he will be tried by a Court Martial

The Veteran Artillery Company of New

day night. and serenading Alderman b. Lar
rabee I'd, one of the Committee of Arrange
ments on the part of the city, who, by the
way, invited the Company and Band into his
house and furnished them with refreshments,
were out bright and early yesterday, and
marched about the city. They went over the
Eastern Promenade, by the Portland Com
pany's Works, and through the grounds of the
Grand Trunk depot, besides marching through
many of the streets Of the city. As they
passed our Office they paid marching salute
In answer to the kerchiefs that were waived
at them. At various points they received
tokens Of welcome from our citizens.
Att O'Clock, after paying a marching sa-
lutte to the guests at the Prebe House and the
large crowd assembled there, they took up
the line of march, escorted by the Committee
Of Arrangements, two platoons of policemen,
and the members of Young America Hose
Company In uniform. Marching up to Park
street, they halted in front Of the house of DR..
Bacon, and paid salute to Miss b., who wrote
the poetry sent with the soldiers stockings,
which was read by Col. Howe at the recep-
ton of Gen. Dix Tuesday. Miss Bacon pre-
scented Col. Burrill beautiful wreath From
this place they marched to the residence of
VIM. Alderman, Esq, the old and popular con-
ductor on the Boston Railroad, where they
again halted and paid him salute, the Band

We undertake to say that no military COM
pany has ever visited our city that has excited
SO much respect and admiration as the Vete-
rams Of Newburyport. Their gentlemanly and
gallant bearing won the esteem of all our citi-
zens, and the regrets are universal, that their
engagements were such that they could not
remain over until to-day, in order that levee
might be given them in our splendid City Hall.
In our notice yesterday We Internationally
omitted among the names of officers that of
Mr.. Charles Noyes of Newburyport, color

which they have carried out their work.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 81.
Gen. Schoield has issued an order for the
government of the November election in the
State. The judges of the election will be held
strictly accountable that none but qualified
voters are allowed to vote, and any action on
their part excluding qualified voters from the

enemies during the rebellion, who shall pre-
sumo to act as judge or clerk of said election,
and any county judge who shall knowingly
appoint any such person as judge of election,
will be deemed guilty of violation of military
orders and punished accordingly. In those
parts Of the State where there is danger of in
reference by guerrillas, a combination of per-
sons intended to overawe or intimidate loyal
voters, military commanders are directed to
prevent such interference; but when such
protection is unnecessary the troops will alb
sent themselves from the polls, and are per-
mitted only to vote at the headquarters of
their respective camps or attachments.
