Specification. Being absent from drill.
The proceedings elicit great interest,
and large crowd assembled to hear the
case.
The case of Private Oakley was first
taken up. To the charge and specifca-
ton, the defendant plead not guilty.
Capt Haas testified as to the organi-
cation of the Company, and other mate
riel facts deemed necessary to establish
the charge and specifications
The counsel for the defense submitted
some 70 interragatories, to each of
which, the Judge Advocate objected.
In each case of objection being made,
the court was cleared, and the question
and objections considered, the court re-
opened, and the objections in each case
sustained.
This occupied the forenoon and the
court adjourned until 2 clock P. NJ
After dinner, the council for the de-
fence moved for permission to institute
new line of defense, or in military par
lance, ITO change their base of opera
tons"
The court therefore ordered, that the
proceedings thus far be set aside and
that the case commence de noUo
The same course of proceedings were
had during the afternoon, but the line
of defence, decided upon by the defend
ants council, had not been developed up
to 5 o'clock, last evening.
The case will be continued from day
to day until decided.
The whole affair is "rich, even to oili-
ness" and the interest remains unaba-
ted.

DEsERTERs RETURNED.-Owing to the
newly-awa&ened vigilance of the mill
tary most of the deserters from the army,
who sought refuge among their friends
in this county, have rejoined their regi-
ments-many of them voluntarily, 9th
ers by the powerful arguments of gun
and bayonet. A large number of the
l28th Regiment, from Williamson county,
have likewise been arrested and placed
in other regiments. In Union county
the presence of the soldiers has had the
effect of roofing out the deserters-a
majority of the sneaks who ran away
from the l09th Regiment, have been re-
covered and properly taken care Of De-
sertion is about played out, "a good
many persons hereabouts burnt their
fingers pretty badly in writing letters
and harboring runaways they have
learned severe lesson-let them profit
by it. CarbOndale (HL) Times.

If it be really true that Hunters army
was arriving at New Orleans, so early
as the 18th of last month, and that Gen.
Banks,x army Is already on tho AAs. side
of the Mississippi, where the rebel re-
ports place him, Gen. Joe. Johnston will
have "other fish to fry" and will have
no time to look after Gen. Grant If
''these things be so" then Eicksburg is

EVANSVILLE, JUNE 1905.
TO the Evansville Daily Joornal:-
As your columns seem open to con-
troversy, as to the relative merits of the
Packets now plying between this port
PaducahEand Cairo,..I feel 1, should
be doing injustice to the 4 Armada in
not. entering, 10 her behalf, the literary
arena in which the commander of the
" General Anderson figured and gy-
rated so brilliantly, Enthusiastically and
luminously, through the medium of the
article contained in your issue of this
date, and to which his name is append
ed. 1 and every one else, Ipresume, &C
quainted with the qualities of the An
derson," are perfectly willing to accord
to her marvellous running powers, but,
stubborn facts must now convince Capt'
C*****, that some things can be done
as well as others; land that he was some
what premature in his announcement of
having the fastest boat in the trade,) as
for instance his recent trip from Padu-
cab to Evansville, wherein that mass OF
oleeginous electricity, in the shape of the
" Gen. Anderson. was fairly and
squarely distanced by the Armada. "
1t will be most humiliating to the vanity
of Captain C*****, to meet his Padu-
cab friends, to whom he boasted that ne
would wait for the "Armada" yesterday
and pass her under way, in sight of town.
In view of the generous clemency
which he exercised towards US in leav-
ing forty inmates before we did, in
order to avoid wounding our pride, by
such triumph, we now, as the victor S
laurels are ours, (having arrived at our
journey end some two hours ahead of
him, can reciprocate his delicate con.
sideration for our feelings and magnani-
mously tender him our coincidence and
sympathy, and we trust his next com
munication in your paper will contain a
withdrawal of his previous declaration
of having the fastest boat in the trade
as truth and candor now demand.
In conclusion, the "Armada" reat:
her fame for speed here and will infu
ture con6ne herself strictly to Legitimate
business pursuits, assuring all who fee
disposed to patronize her, that every
kindness and courtesy her officers are
capable Of, will be extended them, while
her guests, and integrity and fair deal
ing, mark her business relations.
This is my first and probably my las
appearance before the public, in liter
airy sense, and should this communica
ton immortalize me and rank my nam
among the eminent historians, writers
and bards of ancient and modern times
I can assure your readers that seek t.
attain to no such lofty height-and t.

The Latest from Helena. A Figt
with the Rebels.

By the arrival of the Black Hawk,
Brand, master, we have dates from Hell
ena and Gen. Prentiss' Army up to the
25th. Major Walker, with 200 men of
the 9TH Kansas and Sd Iowa cavalry,
were sent out up the Little Rock road on
scouting expedition. When the Major
and his forces had got out about seven
miles from Helena, he found the enemy
in considerable force at Folks planta-
ton. He was concealed in bushes along
the road, aud within sixty yards of the
Federals. Before the Major was sufi-
~.~--a - r - - 80 -''1O
enemy, he Qpened fire, doing, however,
Major Walker at once dismounted
two companies, sending them into the
brush as skirmishers, and advanced his
command in line, keeping up severe
fire. The Major soon found he was
fighting a force not less than five hun
dred, and if he held his position he must
have reinforcements, to obtain which he
dispatched messenger to Helena. The
fire on the enemy was so severe as to
cause him to fall back about half a mile,
when he rallied and charged on the fed
erals, and they in turn in fell back fully
one mile to stronger position which
they held.
As soon as the messenger arrived at
Helena, Colonel Bussey started out with
a good number of brave boys but when
he arrived on the field the enemy had
retreated, and had sent in flag of truce
to look after their wounded and bury
their dead. The Colonel commanding
the rebels, Colonel Chrisman, was Sc
verely wounded while leading his men to
the charge. The rebel loss was nine
killed and twenty-one wounded. The
officers in command of the flag of truce
admitted their loss, and stated the forces
consisted of four hundred and fifty men.
The federal loss is four killed and
twenty wounded, and eight or ten prison.
ers, among whom is Captain Barnes, of
the Fifth Kansas, who was cut off while
in the woods skirmishing. The names
of the killed and wounded we have been
unable to ascertain.
