EDITOR RUTLAND HERALD: Think
ing that a few words from the 7th would
be acceptable to some of your readers, |
will say that we are still here on Santa
Rosa Island. How long we shall stay here
is more than can tell, but l hope il will
be as long as we remain south. The
health Of the regiment is pretty good now,
and the boys both in the fort and in camp,
are feeling "bully,n There are few
that have the chills and fever, and about
thirty in the hospital, but none of them
are very sick. The most Of them have
got the rheumatism, or something of the
kind. Everything is done, both by the
Surgeon and attendants, to promote the
comfort and welfare of the sick. The
Surgeon has got the hospital fixed up, so
1t is quite comfortable now, and he is do
ing everything possible to prevent scurvy
and other diseases. We have lost but
three men in the past four months. We
have some officers, too, In the regiment,
especially the Col. who is as fine an Off
Ger as evsy drew a sabre and the Lieut.
Col, who are universally beloved by the
whole regiment, and also the Surgeon and
Chaplain. E. c.

NoRrHERNERS IN DlAIE.-There will
be no more interesting chapter, in the his
tory hereafter to be written of the rebellion
against the freedom Of America and the
life Of the Republic, than that which will
portray the adventures, trials, suaerjugs
and fearful experiences Of those unfortu-
nate persons who, belonging to free States.
and faithful to the principles of their edu-
cation and of their native region, were in
the South at the breaking out Of the war,
aud not allowed to return to the North.
How many have been barbarOuslv MIR
dered-how many, forced into the rebel
ranks, have been slaughtered ike sheep in
battle-how many have persisted in vain
attempts to escape,-the number can never
be ascertaiued, bat some estimate PERHAPS
may be formed, and some features of their
romantic story be presented, BY the future
historian.
One of our most interesting and estima-
bic young men, who was in the far South
and West when the rebellion broke out,
and Of whom not syllable had been heard,
re appeared among us few days since,
10 the unspeakaole JOY of his family, after
a series of adventures of the most interest
ing and remarkable character. There is
also in the city, Salem lady, with her
children, who passed the last two or three
years, until within a few weeks, in Charles
ion, 5. C. Of coarse it would not be
proper or expedient to publish their names
or narrative of their experiences without
their consent-Snlem Register.

The Knoxville Register advocates tn,

Inc huoXVllle Register advocates the
hanging of all Dutch soldiers found wear
ing the Federal uniform. 1t says;
1t happens thst we entertain greG-ter
degree of respect for an Ethiopian IN the
ranks of the Northern armies than for an
oderiferouS Dutchman, who can have nc
possible interest in this revolution.
Why not bang every Dutchman captured!
We will hereafter hang, or shoot. or i'm
prison for life all white men taken in COM
mand Of negroes, and enslave the negroes
Themselves. This is not harsh. Why
then, should we not hang a Dutchman
who deserves infinitely less of our sympa-
thy than Sambo. The live masses o.
beer, krout, tobacco and rotten cheese
which, on two legs and four, on foot and
mounted. go pro~hng through the South
should be used TO manure th sandy plains
and barren hillsides of Alabama, II mes
SEE and Georgia. Whenever
a Dutch regiment adorns the limbs of a
Southern tolest, daring cavalry raids into
the South shall tease. pres'
dent Davis need moi he specially consult
ed, and if any accident OF this sort should
occur to a pIundering band like that cap
turrd by Forrest, We are not inclined to
behnye that our President would be greatly
displeased.

AFFAIRS IN THE HOUSE
OF LORDS

In the British House of Lords On the 23d OF
March. Lord John Russell made a speech on
American affairs, in which he maintained that 1T
was the policy of the Government at present to
stand still, and not proceed to an act so definite,
so positive an act so nnfriendly to the United
States as that cf the recognition Of the South. -
(Hear. hear) In conclusion, be said ssDe-
pend upon it, my Lords, if that war is to cease,
it is far better that it should with the con-
viction. both on the part of the North and the
South, they can never live again.. happily, as
one community and one republic, and that the
termination of hostilitias can never be brought
about by the advc ce, the mediation or the inter
ference of any European power. (Cheers.>

Government at the present time, and | trust,
now, there will be 10 further dictate on this sub

PLAN SUGGESTED BIZ THE SECRETARY OF WAR


1. Let the people in each county, parish, CT
ward, select at public meeting, as early as con-
venient, committee of three or more discreet
citizens, charged with the duties hereinafter
mentioned.
III. Let it be the duty of this committee to as
certain from each citizen In the county or parish
what amount of surplus meat, whether bacon,
pork or beef, he can spare for the use OF the ar
my, after reserving supply for his family and
those dependent on him for food.
Let this committee fix price which is deemed
by them just compensation for the articles fur
nished and inform the citizens what this price is
so that each may know, before delivery, what
price is to be paid for the articles furnished.
Let this committee make arrangements for the
transportation of the supplies to some convent
ent depot, after consultation with the officer who
is to receive them.
| Let the committee make delivery Of the sup.
plies on receiving payment OF the prie3, and as
sumo the duty of paying IL over to the citizens
who have furnished the supplies.
Ill. Where the duty of the COMMITTEES is per
formed in any town or city at which thsre may
be Quartermaster or Commissarv, no furthe
duty need be required of them than to deliver II
the officer list of names OF the cItzeis and o
the supplies which each is ready to furnish, ant
the price fixed whereupOn the ofilcer Will MIN
self gather the SUP plies and make payment.
w. Where the supplies are furnished in th
country the cost Of transportation to the depo
will be paid by the Government, in addition tt
the price fixed by the committee.
| V. AS this appeal is made to the people fo
the benefit of our brave defenders now in the ar
N.Y. the department relies with confidence on tht
patriotism of the people, that no more than JUS
compensation would be fixed by the committees
nor accepted by those whose chief motive will
! be to aid their country, and not to make undu
| gains out of the needs of our noble soldiers.

POETRY.
FOR THE SPECTATOR.
ssTHE UNKNOWN HEROES OF THE
SOUTH

SOUTH
Ye unknown heroes of the South
Who've boldly faced the cannon's mouth,
Have nobiy fought and diei.
Who countless lie on battlefield
Who never to the foe would yield
But bravely did your weapons WELD
Ye are your country's pride
Ambition and hope of glory
Brought you not to war plain CORY
To battle with the North.
But patriotism, the brightest gem
That shines in freedoms diadem.
That makes you brave and gallant men
Twas it that led you forth.
Mid the din and shock of battle,
Cannon's roar and muskets rattle,
IT'S then you ightest shine.
You know that if sou chance to fall
By some base minion's Ieaden ball
You're simply privates, that is all,
You II never live in time.
The bold and dashing officer
Goes forth like you without a fear
But still he longs for fame,
And hopes that some benignant sage,
When writing of this warlike age
Will inscribe on his glowing page
His ilustrious name.
Though far on distant plains you've died,
Borne down amid fierce battles tide
though your names should perish,
Virginia will her sons adore,
Who've died her freedom to restore,
Till time itself shall be no more,
She'll their mem'ry cherish.
And though no roses deck your graves,
Nor burning tear-drop Ger them layes,
Ye have your country's thanks,
And the gentle dews Of heaven,
Weep DER you who'ye nobly striven,
In freedom blood-stained ranks.
And though the world shall know you not,
Your names will be without spot
Your kindred all will tell,
That when the vile North had begun,
Fierce war our land to over run,
How ye did snatch the trustY gun,
How brayely fought and fell.
And when. "grim visaged' war is DER
And wished-for peace returns once more.
Oh when your country's free,
Your children while their proud hearts swell
With rapture on your deeds will dwell,
And Ct your fearless daring tell
Ye all will heroes be.
