10 the quiet and unsuspecting congregation.
With this information he left town and soon
returned in command of squad ofimen:
he entered the churchs and apologized to
the preacher for having to disturb him for

In Close Quarters

During this forenoon, whilst some freight
which arrived by the Southern train was
being taken into the express Office, atten-
ton was attracted to one Of the boxes by
seeing some hair protruding from crack in
the box, whenit was examined and found to
contain some one. The box was opened,
and man calling himself William White
was taken out. The account be gives of
himself is that he is native Of Bardadoes,
and he came to Selma Alabama, in the
steamship Nepture; and from thence to Sa-
vannah Wishing to leave Savannah. and
being unable to procure passport to get
out friend ofhis nailed him up in the box.
and shipped him for Charleston, and thence
to this place.
The BOX was marked Lieut. w T. White,

The Needs OF Soldiers.


The army correspondent Of the tEnquir-
err" writing from .Culpeper Court House,
the Goth instant. says:
Before closing. let me say word to
our homefolks about our shocess soldiers.
That word shall be simple and practical -
/ have seen brave men who had walked all
the way from the Rapidan to Bristow Sta
ton aud back to Culpeper with bare feet
And these are men had never struggled. ).
but we're always ready to meet the foe. I
saw these men on yesterday morning ma
king their way with their uncovered feet
through mud and mire and slosh, in the
midst Of heavy rain, with as much indif-
ference Of the storm, and more Of buoyancy
and cheerfulness than can we'll be imagined,
under the circumstances. The Government
cannot furnish these men. Shall private
muni6cence fail? Must the men who arc
standing like wall Of fire between us and
the foe 60 unremembered of their country
men and actually suffer for clothing, when
private liberality could readily supplement
the governmental deficiency? Shoes and
socks, too, are needed. Where are our
brave women. and why do they not respond9
Are their thoughts turned from patriotism
to greed Of gain? Both the married and
unmarried ladies should get to work and at
once send shoes to the soldiers. aud socks
to those who are unsuppl;ed with this nee
essary article Of wearing apparel.

New orlcans-Gen. Banks.

A lady has just reached this city from
! New Orleans, from which she was banished
by the order Of that chivalrous Boston hero.
Gen. Banks. Her offence was a grave one
in the Yankees calendar, She laughed on
the balcony Of her own house with. another
friend, and General Banks happened to be
walking BY at the time in company with
General Grant, and Banks thong htg she must
be laughing at him and the INSULT was
deepened, as he said, because be was ''ac-
coutpauied by his illusttious friend, Gener-
al Grant. H fg21n2s
The truth was the lady did not know
that Gen. Banks and .'the iilustrious'' were
within sight or earshot. and was not even
thinking of him. 'rhes assurances were
made to his offended Yankecshipi in vain.-
The house was surrounded BY aguard. and
all the inmates kept prisoners for three
weeks. The dignity Of Banks demanded
atonement. and he banished the lady from
his lines, and gave her twenty -four hours
within which to leave. The lady is SIS
