sLANDER1Na SOLDIERS.

Our neighbor of the Breckinridge Demo

that our soldiers have been awfully SANDER

them on their return home, although he
failed most signally TO stand either 10y them
or with them, in their absence. Our neigh

discovered that returned soldiers have
right to vote, and us he expects to. be can
didate himself, thinks it would be polite to
obtrude his praises upon them in order to
copciiate them for having opposed their
right to vote while absent lighting for their
country. Our neighbor says, that it had
been asserted that our soldiers, on their re-
turn, intended to tear down printing offices
and commit other acts of violence, (which
would be highly disgraceful," but as they
did no such thing they have been greatly
slandered. lie neglects, however, to say
that the only persons in this community,
who feared violence from the returning sol
dicrs, and who guarded their premises from
imaginary attacks by them, with revolvers,
was himself and friends. Only few days
before the return of cur nine months volun-
teers, some of our neighbor's particular
friends were anxious to know whether we
had any knowledge that any threats of vio-
lence had been made by these soldiers
against their establishment. We promptly
stated we heard no such intimations, and we
presumed our neighbor was taking council
from his fears more than from any know
ledge he possessed. We were also informed
that if the soldiers committed any violence
against our copperhead neighbor, our OWL
establishment and that of the Gazette, woult
be destroyed by the people of Lower Angus
to, and that our residence would share th'
same fate. Was ever grosser slander ut

NEwBERN, N. 9. May 30.


NEwBERN, N. Q. May 30.
On the 9th instant, Major-Genersl Foster
visited the camps Of the nine months rlen
and made an eloquent speech to each regi-
ment. General Foster told these soldiers he
could not part with them; that they must
not leave him and our sacred cause Mt TINS
stage of the rebellion that he would give
them all the advantages accompanying re-
enlistment, including furlough OF thirty
days to each regiment, and 50 arrange II
that while one regiment departed another
should be ready to return, which proposition
appeared to meet with general favor. Gen.
Foster then called upon the nine months
men for a new artillery regiment, to consist
of twelve companies of one hundred ana
fifty men each. This regiment was organi-
zed upon the spot and the officers were ap-
pointed. Some OF the regiments offered to
furnish three companies for this new COM
mand, which will be ready for service IN
short time.
The desire of that portion of the 18th
Army Corps now in South Carolina, to re-
turn here under their old chief, where they
can have active service, is arousing the sym
pathies of the whole Department in their
behalf Numerous letters are continually
reaching General Foster from the officers
aud men now separated from him against
the express orders of the President, contain
ing appeals for their return of a most Affect
ing character, together with general Offer
to re-enlist for the war if theif wishes are
granted. Rather than have any i'll feeling
existing between the two Departments
General Foster is willing to furnish General
Hunter with two black regiments for eacl
white regiment returned.

L. S. STEAMER HARTFORD,
MOUTH OF RED RIVER, May 12, 1863

y
DEAR FATHER: You will see by the above
that this good old fighting vessel, the flag
ship of Admiral Farragut, is still afloat
Notwithstanding the numerous Rebel reports
of her destruction and capture, and that we
still maintain our position at the mouth of
Red River, in defiance of their threats.
The Union feeling is strong up Red river,
and learn that General Banks has already
recruited two regiments of Louisianians.
Seven refugees, armed with shot guns and
long knives. who have been living in the
swamps for six months to escape conscription
came on board the Hartford about week
since, and were yesterday sent up Red River
again, as they expressed desire to go up
and join the Union men who have already
had some fighting with the Rebels, and, now
that succor is at hand, have come out boldly
for the Stars and Stripes.
Men who for weary months have been
living like wild beasts, in swamps and dense
thickets, to escape the halter, have now
came out Of their hiding places and Joined
property, and some of them are men of in
teligence, but their mud-stained garments
and unshorn locks testify what they have
undergone to resist a power that they die
not recognize, and the eagerness with whicl
they one and all jumped at the chance o
fighting under the old flag, repudiated thc
idea that cowardice kept them there from
joining the Rebels. One of them CALCULATED
after taking the oath of allegiance, 81 hay,
been waiting two years for this moment
thank God it has come at last ~

II is currently reported, and from so many
different quarters as to leave no doubt of the
fact, that Lee has now large force at Cul-

The information that a large rebel force
is concentrating at Culpeprer is confirmed
