that We did not meet the rebels earlier
than we did, and it would have been no
disadvantage TO our arms to have had
him in command at Prairie Grove. 1t is
safe to say that he would not have forgot
ten tina, a certain acting Brigadier, and a
part of his brigade, WAS on the field, hold
ing rather an important position, and
have left him and his regiment without an
order during the battle, and then alto
gcther have gnJred their existence in his
report. We all hope that Col. Dye may
sGccced to the command of the I'd Di,is-
ION during the Generals absence.
There is good deal OF speculation here
as well Ms at home about our future opera
tons. OF course don't pretend to know
or even guess what We shall do next, but
| will say this much, keep us here, and
We hold the whole of Missouri and North
western Arkan as far as Van Duren
perfectly level. Take us away, and there
will be necessity or sending third large
army down here next fall, TO fight again at
Pea Ridge, Cross Hollows or Prairie
Grove. 1t is cheaper to keep us here, but
then, hang the expense " That's the
motto now a-days, and who knows what
will be done next!

PosTMAsrERs' ADvIcE.-Don't cover your
letter all over with directions, but write them
plainly on the lower half of the envelope
Leave off all gingerbread and pen tourishes.
They confuse the first glance for destination,
and are more likely to cause letters to be
missent.
Put your stamp on the right hand top cor
ner. Never put it on the back; it is liable
to cause the letter to be held for postage
through oversight.
Always place your letters in the P. 0. box.
They are then certain of the next mail If
you hand them to the P. NJ. or his clerk on
the street, they are liable to be forgotten in
his pocket for day or more.
Renta box in the post Office, if you have
not already done so. Then your letters will
not be handed to other persons of the same
name, or to irresponsible persons who may
call for them at the general delivery. Another
advantage is, you can see at a glance whether
there is any thing for you in the Office, in
stead of waiting at the window for your turn,
and again waiting for the clerk to look over
pile of letters or papers in search of the
expected missive.

Upton, May 10th, 1868.
The minds of the most prominent Cop
perheads seem to be considerably riled because
their names appear in the JoURNA4, whose
! editor has the stamina to strike treason at the
root instead of looping off the branches.
A grand mass or indignation meeting, on a
very small scale, was held in what is known
as the old Court House, made famous in his
tory as the building from whence years ago
two horse thieves were forcibly taken from
the officers, carried north few miles and
suspended between heaven and earth, the
fate which awaits some men now living but
little distance from it, unless they mend
their ways. 1t was in regard to the arrest Of
| Vallandigham. Mr.. Editor, have you ever
churches, where the preachers extend an in
vitation to probationers to give in their reli-
gious experiences This meeting was con-
Quoted on somewhat similar principles (only
for unholy purposes). DIR. R. occupies the re-
sponsble position of preacher, opening the
meeting, (not by prayer but by denouncing
the government and its actions, eXtolling
Vallandigham to the skies, declaring that
king Abraham, the despot, should stretch
hemp, and cursing loyal papers and people in
general.
Preacher R. to Bro. W. "Tell us, for our
ediication, whst our good master jeff Davis
is doing for you?
Bro. w. "He has extended the right hand
of fellowship. For few days past have
felt down in the mouth matters are not as
prosperous for our cause as l could wish.-
The enemy seems to be gaining the advan-
tage of US. l feel that it is necessary we
should put forth our whole strength if we
would succeed"
Exhausted by his efforts, he sits down.
Bro. w. rises again and collapses by say
ing, if they 0he Republicans) are deter
mined to SUPPRESS free speech, they will have
to cut off my wind, for am determined to
exercise my gift, in denouncing the acts of
the administra ion as long as | can talk.
Iditandigham is a saint along side of
Lincoln"
"Bro. p how do you feel?' .-
Bro. P. "This war is an unholy one,
'rought about by those in power to rob the
| seople of their money The conscript act is
unconstitutional, and we should arm ourselves
Ind he prepared to resist it, if put in force,

| This same genius made speech, am told,
laying "the public school of Upton was con-
tucted on the same principles as lunatic
!!sylum. My children have attended for six
honths and do not know as much now as
hey did before they commenced at that time,
good joke on his ch.ldren)
| Bro. Vance. l agree with Bro. P. in his
entiments. can't talk, but am ready to
md helping hand when the time comes for
ction, under good leader. AS Bro. W.
aid sometime ago, he did not feel like being
:leader, but was willing to follow one. So
IN I. have my arms all ready"
! After transacting some more business they
.djourned to meet one week from that time.
