Papers for Soldiers.

We frequently receive letters and hear
from other sources from our boys in the
army, complaining that they do not re-
ceive more papers from home. We
know that paper from home is eagerly
welcomed by the brave boys who are far
away, and each "local'' item noted with
interest. We would gladly send the
JOURNAL free to every ono of our friends
and acquaintance in the army, but the
fact is, we can't do it.
When the last company was raised
here, and nearly every one was giving
literally, we paid $75 in bounty, and
offered the JOURNAL free to the families
of those volunteering in that company
The impression became general that our
offer was to the families of all volunteers,
and applications were made for the pa
per accordingly. AS distinctions seemed
invilious we sent to all,-about 100 in
numb0r-for one year, and then stopped
them, but offered to send the paper TO
the family of any volunteer for half price.
81, 90 year.
This we continue to do, and we will
also send a paper to the address of any
soldier in the field for the same price.
This is fair, we think. We cannot
send free papers and pay the postage on
them, to all our friends in the army.

-HerscheiI Y. johnson has been elec-
ted by the Legislature of Georgia to
represent that State in the rebel senate at
Richmond. Robert Toombs was also a
candidate. Toombs made speech
denOuncing the Encouragement and
incompetency of the Richmond COVER
ment, and johnson made speech sup
porting JEFF Davis aud his policy through
out. The election of Johnson may,
therefore be taken as an indication that
the Georgia legislature is ''sound on the
| Richmond goose"
