! wish briefly to call
your attention to a letter published in
the Ohio Eagle, of April Sd, headed
'1st OHIO CAVALRY" and signed
Will The said letter being sent to
Genl Steadman and copy to Capt
Pickering, Co. F, 1st o, V. G, this said
JTtU being member Of the above ma
med company He has been arrested
by order of Gcn'l Stcadman, and l will
assure you that he will get his just dues
for the Genl deals strictly with trai-
tors, especially such a one as he has
shown himself to be. WI has had
his trial, but cannot say what his
sentence will be. hope he will be
sent to his friends south of the Federal
lines, and | think for the good Of the
country, some of his sympathizers at
the North ought to be made to accom-
pany him. 1t would teach them here
after not TO have such degrading let
ters published, and also teach his faith
er not to write reasonable letters to
his son who is in the honorable de-
fense of his country. If such steps
were taken it would stop persons from
writing such reasonable doctrines to
their friends in the army, trying to
discourage the soldier.
This letter of WWS contains some
of the most reasonable language and
vile falsehoods that could be ushcred
from any mans lips, trying to impli
cate Kuhns and myself As for my
self, have been in the army since the
outbreak of this rebellion, and intend
to remain in tho service during the
war, let it be long or short, that is if
my life be spared, If | fall, | fall
chcerfully, knowing that | am falling
in defense of my country. As for
Serg't Kuhns he is a loyal soldier, true
to his country, never shrinking from
danger, let come what may
will cndeavor to give the statement
that WI made before the jury. He
plead not guilty, saying that if he did
writc the letter, it was when he was
intoxicated What do you think of
that? You know he said in his letter
that he could back every word he said.
Is he substantiating his words? Why
now he even denies writing the letter.
He must surely have been beastly
drunk, not to have known what he was
doing all this time. | would say moro
on this subject, but fear shall intrudc.
This will show you the character of
WIU,and how he substantiatcs his word.
This / think, will teach WiN lesson,
and also those who had his letter pub
lishcd. Twill teach them to keep
such reasonable letters to themselves
hereafter. l suppose that they tho t
there were no Union men in Fairfield
county. Well, if report be true, there
are very few. But thank God, those
who are left, manifest the right kind OF
spirit. will close. Ny, respects to
all Union friends. Yours, % %

Dear jSr:-Ye Yesterday evening the

Some of their guns were Of large cali

from the river batteries. We replied
with alacrity, spirit and telling effect.
In an hour their fire had been silenced.
Being within range of both infant

slightly wounded.

Snd Affair.

A son of J. E. Rudisill, Esq, of this
city, aged about II years, was drowned
while bathing in the Olentangy, near
the Columbus and indianapolis Rail
road bridge, on Friday afternoon last.
After laboring hard during the day to
enable him to obtain some money for
the purpose Of adding to the mission
airy fund of his Sunday School, he OBJ
tained permission to go to the river to
bathc, in company with another lad of
the same age, and received a warning
on their departure not to venture into
too deep water They had provided
themselves with all the necessary arti-
cles, and Master Rudisill had entered
the water while the other lad was hunt
ing for some soap; and while he was
looking for that article he observed
that his companion was struggling in
the water, having undoubtedly been
siezed with cramp. Ho attempted to
save him, but failed !; and Immediately
ran for assistance which unfortunately
camo' too lato. 1t is sad thing to an
nounce tho death of such a lovely
promising youth as was Master Rudi-
sill, but it is consolation to know that
he passed from earth to a better land,
fully prepared for such a great change.
The funeral services were held on Sun
day afternoon, at Wesley Chapel, and
were largely attended by the school
mates and associates of Master Rudi.
I sill and the friends of the bereaved
family. ReY Mr. Trimblo delivered a
very feeling discourse on the occasion.

ADAsTARDLY OUTRAGE.

The Lancaster Gazette came to US
last week printed on half sheet
The editors say that their Office was
mobbed and large proportion Of their
type destroyed between midnight and
morning of the 1st inst. The authors
of this outrage, they say are certain
Copperheads, who were unwilling that
an outspoken Union paper should ad-
vocate the cause of our country and
our glorious free institutions in that
place. This is only putting in prac-
tcc the teachings of those who ap-
prove and encourage the rebels now
in arms against our Government.

with clubs some of which were left in

possible. And the way in which the
work was done shows that they un.

caster Gazette Office was mobbed on the
night Of the 1st inst, by a set of "but

4 Statement OF the Position and Move
ments OF the Eastern Army.


Philadelphia, June 1.-THE Inquir-
er has special from Washington, dated
last night, with the following "Gcner-
al Ewell's corps is in the advance, ne.
companied by General Stuart's cavalry
General Hill $ corpsis close behind, and
Longstreet brings up the rear. There
no longer seems to be any doubt that
General Lee is throwing the whole Of
his forces up toward Maryland and
Pennsylvania, Our cavalry has been
skirmishing with Lees rear guard fol
two days; and all information tends to
show that the rebels are not moving to
give us battle on the old field of Bull
Run or that vicinity. Our forces ava.
cuated Frederick, Maryland, and that
vicinity, and fell back to the Relay
House thismoming. Noenemy pursu-
ing them, they returned to Frederick
this morning, with strong reinforce
ments. Some rebels appearedat Pools
vile, last evening, but withdrew with
out doing any damage. An extra train
went to Harper's Ferry last night, and
returned this morning. Soon after the
train passed Point of Rocks, some Of
General Hills corps came on tour OF
observation.
1t is said by some, who watch mill
tary matters closely, tnat the next bat
tie will be fought in Maryland, and
perhaps, on the old field of Antietam
again General Lee is moving on a
longer line than General Hooker, bnt
he has not succeeded in outmarching
him very far, Geneaal Hooker was al
Fairfax Court house this morning, but
it caunot be said where he will be to-
night 1t is not believed that the reb
els have got into Pennsylvania in any
great numbers but what they may dc
in twonty-four hours more, is hard tc
tell 1t is believed that Harpers Ferry
can bo held against any force the rebels
may bring against it, .

Lines on the Death of Willie Muiini

mes on the Death of Willie Mulinii
Little Willie slumbers sweetly
In his lowly narrow bed;
Blghting stoIm and bowling 10 npests
Cannot reach his little head
Sweet affection drops tenr
Ger the spot where Willie lies
Angels whisper "look up yondor."
Pointing upward to the skies,
on our memories, deeply craven,
Stands his little image fair;
Sparkling eyes and shining temples,
Rosy cheeks md golden hair.
On the window lies his reader,
Lo! the chair OH which he sat;
On the nail in yonder corner,
Hangs alone, his little hat.
oh remove these sad memorials
Lay them carefully away
Ch'ist he thou our consolation
In the dark and gloomy day.
How my heart yeamed over Willie,
In that sad and gloomy night;
Trying fondly to restore him
While my lips with his unite.
Little Willie slumbcrs sweetly
In his lowly, narrow bed;
Pelting storms and bowling tempests
Can not reach his little head.
On that bright and glorious morning
Christ will whisper from above,
