@T The correspondent OF the New
York Herald in speaking Of the attack
BY Gen. Banks army on Port Hudson,
says in regard to the ed Louisiana col
ored regiment:-"Tbey went in on the
advance and when they came out six
out of the niEe hundred men could not
be accounted for. II is said on every
side they fought with the desperation of
tigers. There are other incidents, con-
nected with the conduct Of this regi-
ment that has raised them very much in
my opinion as soldiers. After firing one
volley they did not deign to load again,
but Vsnt in with 6oyonets, and wherever
they had chance it was all up with the
rebels"
There is the testimony Of man who
did not exactly believe negroes would
6gbt. Six hundred men left on the
field Of battleI All honor to the ed

head, but here is the proof. And
much more Of the same kind Of heroic
valor will yet be seen exhibited by the
colored troops in the Union army. One
or two more such spirited charges. and
the Vallsndighsmers will soon become
careful. bow they undertake to mob men
whose skins may be shade darker than
their ewp, but whose hearts are much
more purely patriotic.

The INVALID SERvIcE--The War
Department has issued an order emu
merating twenty nine kinds of physf-
cal in6rmiiies that do not disqualify
enlisted men for service in the Invalid
Corps, and twenty-five that do. The
order concludes: "WhIlst the. Gov
ernment is most anxious to provide for
and employ those faithful soldiers who,
from the wounds or hardships Of war
are no longer able to perform active
duty, yet it can upon no account per-
NIT men undeserving or totally Hisa-
bled to enter the service. Those faith
fui soldiers whose physical in6rmities
are too great to admit Of their being Of
any use in the Invalid Corps, win
nevertheless receive the pensions and
bounties provided by law. 1t is fur
ther announced that no officer or en-
listed man shall receive any pension,
premium or bounty for re-eElistment
or service in the invalid corps. They
will receive all other pay and allow
ances now authorized by law for Uni-
ted States infantry except increased
pay for re.enlistment. Claims for PEN
sious or bounties which may be due
for previous service win not be invali-
dated BY the enlistment in the invalid
corps, but no pensions can be drawn
or accrue to any man doing his share
in said corps. The officers and men
will be organized in companies Of in-
fantry Of the same strength as is now
authorized BY law for the United States
infantry. No organized brigades,
regiments or companies, will be sc-
cepted as such. EnlIstments in this
corps will be for three years, unless
sooner discharged"

LITTLE HocxIsa, June 18th.

DEAR SIR:-The body Of man sup
posed to have been drowned, was found
here about week ago, and a pocket
book was found the next day where the
body was taken out Of the river, which
probably belonged to the drowned man.
The pocket-book contained $3.50 in
money, and a letter, which is enclosed
to you. in hopes to give his friends
some clue TO the missing man. The
body was very much decomposed, and
the clothes were all in shreds, and
must have been in the water long time.
Very truly yours.
A. l.. CURTIS.
The letter enclosed to us bears
date-"Gallipolis, Ohio, Oct. 16,
1852" and was doubtless written by a
lady to her husband, as 1t begins with
MY Dear Husband" and closes
"from your wife, Sophia Smith," 1t
is much worn, but We can make out the
following-"William, can't tell you
how l would like to live out there. be-
cause / don't know what kind Of place
it is, you must write and tell me all
about it." We judge by this that the
name Of the unfortunate man was Viii.
liam Smith. Also accompanying the
letter was a pass, written in pencil, in
the following form:
charleston, Sept. 8, 1862.
Name obliterated.
Pass William through the lines.
B. N. Skinner, Major,
Comd'g Post"
These papers are in our possession,
and will be given to any friends Of the
deceased who may call.
