Gen. Foster, who has been so
long besieged at Little Washing
ton, n. c., has succeeded in
passing through the rebel forces
and has reached Newbern in
safety. His men are supplied
with provisions and ammunition,
and, it is thought, can hold the
place till he can organize an ex-
petition for their relief. The
boat on which he escaped was
exposed to a continuous fire from
batteries and sharpshooters, for
several miles, and was almost
riddled by shot and shells. The
pilot was killed. No other loss
of life.

left Camp Benton on Sabbath
morning, OF course, and en-
barked upon the "John Warner"
for Young's Point" but just be-
fore the boat left the wharf, Gen.
Curtis came in person to an
nounce that dispatch had been
received from Washington coun-
demanding the order sending us
to Vicksburg, and giving our
Colonel permission to take the
Regiment back to its old position
in Missouri.
Our trip from St. Louis to this
place was exceedingly tedious,
and to me as disagreeable as
tedious. The distance ran is
only go miles, but i. occupied
from l P. NJ, Sabbath, until 4
A. NJ, on Tuesday, having
enjoyed the felicity of sticking on
a sand bar for 30 hours and be-
ing tied up to the bank for 8
hours more. The boat was
loaded down to the gunwale with
freight before we embarked; then
in addition to the Regiment, bag
gage, supplies, horses, ETC., there
were about an hundred straggiers
returning to their Regiments at
different points down the river.
The boat is old, very much
strained, had only been raised
from beneath the water Of the
Mississippi few days previous
to our trip, and was so heavily
loaded that the river ran over her
deck amid-ship, so that she was
only kept afoat upon deep water
by incessant pumping. You
may imagine that riding upon
such a craft, with an excellent
prospect of having to swim for
ones life, was not more than
agreeable.
Over the drunkenness, swear
ing, blasphemy, gambling, ETC.,
| would drop the veil; would |
could erase from my own mem
DRY the sights and sounds that
trip exhl bited. During the trip
saw an exhibition of inhuman-
lty which deserves to be pub
lished everywhere. Owing to
the excessively crowded state OF
the bort the Sergeant Major ofthe
23d Iowa was pushed from the
hurricane-deck and fell upon the
main-deck; in addition TO several
severe contusions, the poor fell
low had his thigh fractured.--
The Surgeons of our Regiment
did for him all their circum-
stances permitted, but as it was
impossible to render him the as
slstance his injuries demanded,
they ordered him to be carried
on board the Tug-boat "Frances
Fisher" and to he taken back to
st. Louis for hospital treatment.
On his being carried on board
the Fisher" her Captain seemed
much exasperated, and de-
handed to know "Who was
going to take care of him." On
being told that a comrade had
been detailed to attend upon him,
ne replied, "Then throw him
down" Surgeon Little, who
superintendent his removal, in
quired "if the poor fellow could
have a state room?" "No!" said
the Captain, "l've no state-room
for himr' The Surgeon then
inquired eff he could get mat
trass to place between the deck
and the sufferers bruised body?"
One OF the deck hands ran and
brought one, when the Captain
brutality ordered him to stake
that mdttraSS back"

monatcous spectacle is attempted to be exhibit
cd of cordial action and cooperation of an-
taeonistic elements. And fer what For
the good of the country ? AS hypocrtical as
the leaders ale they make no such shallow
pretcoce. It's rather to crafty personal resent.
m"a.s, and advance mcrcenary schemes, that
the voters Of his County who have acted in
the Republican party, are asked to embrace
the Copperheads and join in war of exttr-
mina,on upon their former associates.
Are they ready to do this We do not
believe it. There is nothing in the Demo
cratic party now which recommends it to the
favorable consideration Of any patriot Its
opposition to the war and the administratio on
is more rabid, proscriptive and dangerous
tian ever. Every thing done TO enhance the
success Of the Democracy is blow aimed at
the Government, and aid and comfort offered
to the rebellion.
Republicans which company had you
rather keep-that Of the men with whom you
have heretofore acted, and with whom you
agree 10 principle-or that of the sympathiz
ers of the rebellion, who would not give up
their party 70 save the Union ? A bold and

can have no other possible effect. The lead

BA~ Our article last week, exposing the
plot to Givide the Republicans of this County,
and transfer one portion over to the control
Of the Democratic leaders, has caused consid.
cradle futterDg amongst those who eoncocted
the scheme, anu were craftlly engaged in car
rying it out. We have the best reasons, also,
for knowing that since the address of the Dol
ters vas published, making apparent the
treachery Of the leaders of the peoples party,
many of those heretofore acting in that or.
ganizatioa have had thereyes opened to their
tri2hery attempted to he praciced, and de-

democratic leaders.
AS We have often said, we believe the most
OF these who have conatepaactd tie People 5
