A SUGGESTION FOR TIE BENEFIT or OUR SOL
DiERs, The Springfield Republican says ain
this time of abundant fruit let not our soldiers be
forgotten. The blackberry crop this season is
very large, but not one berry in pasture or by the
roadside ought to 60 to waste. Everybody, even
the poorest, can do little in this line in the way
Of preparing delicaces for the soldiers, il they will
only take the trouble. Blackberres, in the vsri.
Gus forms in which they may be pot up are re.
gardsd with the creates, favor in our hospitals,
not only because they are relshsd by the soldier,
but also for their medicinal qualities. This fruit
can be pot up either as jam, syrup. wine or cor
dial, placed in stone jars or Jugs and tightly seal
ed, or what would require very little trouble, the
berries can be dried, to be s,ewed for use as need
ed This is time, also, when all autumn fruits
are n greatest abundance, and when the rich
stores are gathered in let the soldiers be remem-
bered by all. Especially let our farmers dry all
the apples they possibly can. Apples are not
over abundant this year, and all the dried fruit
will be needed before apples come again"

ANTI REBEL,

In regard to the colored soldiers captured be-
fore Charleston, the editor Of the Savannah Rep.
publican wrote from Charleston on the 29lh ult.,
as follows;
al rave omitted to state in previous letters
that the captured negroes, who were turned
over to the State by the military authorities
lew weeks ago, were brought up for trial under
the laws of South Carolina on Monday, On
motion Of counsel on either side tho cases were
postponed until next Tuesday week. Able
counsel have been assigned the prisoners, and
other steps taken to secure them fair and i'm
partial trial. Public sentiment here is against
o rigid execution of the law, and shall not be
surprised IL plea in defence that they were ae-
ting not Of then FREQ will, bu. under coupulsion,

The Heralds Dispatch states that General
Banks writes 10 his friends here that General
Grants injuries are slight, and that the " un-
conditional surrender hero will be about in a
few days.
General Grant writes that General Banks Is en-
titled to tho full credit for the fall Of Port llud
son, irrespective OF the tall Of vcksburg. "M'
success at vicksburg," he rays, may have ex-
pedited the surrender Of Port Hudson day or
two, but no more. The garrison was starving,
and under no circumstances could hold out an
other week. Let General Banks, ii3ble fellow

FROM VICKSBURG.-We make the following
extract from a business letter, written us by
Chauncey LOOMS:
" am Hospital Steward for the 4Sth Regi-
ment, Indiana Volunteers. We are in General
Quimby's Division, 18th Army Corps, under
Gen. Grant,
see bv your paper that you have heard of our
dongs since we came into this State-the first of
May.
This is the thirty-third day of our seige on
Vicksburg, and we have not got it as yet, but we
are bonnd to stay with them till they give it up.
Psmberton has offered to give up every thing
but his men, but Gen. Grant says he wants the
whole or none.
There are reports coming into camp every
day that Gen. 10. Johnston is coming UP in our
rear, with large force, to cut US all to pieces, but
We are not caring anything about his coming as
20 have men enough in the rear, to clean him
out, aUd all the mnons he can bring with him.
If we have got to fight him, we want to do it'll
here, as we are prepared for him.

Sharpshooting has become serious service in

were shot in the riAe-pits on Friday, by half
dozen of the enemy's sharpshooters concealed in a
orlck house in the suburbs of Gettysburg. The
house might have been destroyed, but in doing

Origin of Arming the Negroes.

A correspondent of the Memphis
Bulletin, says it is susceptible ofincontro-
veritble demonstration that the first at
tempt to arm negroes and put them in
the field as soldiers, was made by the
South. In proof of this assertion, he
copies from the Memphis AUalanche and
Appeal, of May 9th, 10th and 11th,
1861, the following recruiting notice,
which the correspondent insists ,0as the
first author itatire expression Of public
opinion upon the subject, north Or south.
We commend the notice to those who
are so timid on the question of letting
the negroes fight if they will:

We Must Conquer or be Conquered.

The slave oligarchy is fighting not
only to be "let alone as it pretends,
but to regain its old supremacy over the
whole Union. If it has power to wrest
eleven States from the Government, it
has also power to subjugate the Govern
ment. Those deluded, infatuated peo-
pie in the North who vainly believe that
peace would follow the withdrawal of
the Union forces from the rebellious
States know nothing of the bloody ambi-
ton of the slave oligarchy.
"What do we hope for?" exclaims
the Chattanooga Rebel "Not for peace
more than for revenge upon a worthless,
heartless, cruel enemy. We hope" it
continues, "and we hope it earnestly,

BI~ Agate, of the Cincinnati Gazette,
furnishes the following as an "exten-
uating circumstance" in connection
with Gen. Hooker's failure Oh. the Rap
pahannock:
1 suppose we may as well balance the
accounts on the score of Generalship.
Hooker clearly outgeneraled Lee in The
crossing, and earlier movements on
Charlottesville. 1t is almost as clear
now that Lee outgeneraled Hooker in
pouncing Unexpectedly on the right
flank on Saturday, in concentrating
again on Sedgwick on Monday, while
three-fourths of our army lay utterly
idle.
1t is unjust to Hooker, however, to
leave this bare statement without expla-
nation.
Gen. Hooker is now lying very i'll at
Falmouth, in consequence, mainly, as is
believed, ofthe terrible shock he received
fromsa cannon ball during one of the
earlier days of the operations at Chan
cellorsville. The ball struck a pillar of
the house, against which he was leaning
at the time He was knocked to the
ground, and remained scnSelesS for
tt0enty or thirty minutes. It's impossi-
Bile that he could have recovered from
such shock so as to have been quail
fed to enter again, (as he did, upon du-
ties so weighty that the strongest might
well bend and tremble beneath them.
Shortly afterward Gen. Hooker had
still more remarkable escape. Still feel
ing weak and dizzy from the shock, he
left the command temporarily with
Couch, with orders to be called instantly,
on the appearance of any emergency,
and lay down in his tent. Presently he
began to feel faint, sick at the stomach,
and oppressed with the hot, close atmos-
phere Of the tent, and went out to see if
the fresh air would not relieve him
Within twenty minutes after he left, a
she'll passed through the tent, struck tie
mattress on phich lie had been lying,
and left it mass of tattered rags!
