The Trial Of Sireeer.

Feb. 20, 1864.


The trial of Fred F, Sireeter fr the
murder Of the Coy fanily, commenced at
Medina, Ohio, on Tuesday of last week
We have not received the full proceedings
Of the trial az we go TO press, but learn that
he wac fond guilty and sentenced to be hung,
Feb. 2e 1864.
Aletter written us from Ohio two days
b<fore the trial commenced, informed us that
Streeter's main defence would be to prove
an abb, that he was at Cleveland and left
that place on the morning of the murder,
for home, Medina. But there were two
witnesses who saw and talked with him be-
tween seven and eight o'clock on tina, very
morning within half mile of the murder.
His abb, therefore, is mere sham and pre-
tense. AS we shall not probably receive
any further account Of the trial this week.

Gallant Conduct.

In letter from the Army we learn that
the 4Sth Regiment under command of Col
Garnet, was in. the fight at Fredericksburg, in
which few of the members were wounded,
but none killed. The writer mentions seve-
raj instances of gallantry, among which was
that of young man in company |, by the
name of James P. Wilson, who went into the
fight entirely barefooted, and performed his
duty promptly all that cold weather rather
than be left behind. The writer justly OBJ
serves-'sbis county and his family ought to
proud of him. He saw another of our gal

on the field, who had tied pieces OF

Amecd0te Of the War.

The Richmond Correspondent of the Memphis
Grenada Appeal tells the following good story
Of Stonewall Jackson in the Valley:
A Yankee Brigadier, excessively pompous and
conceited formed much after the model of sho
lamented John Pope of sorrowful memory, was
gasconading in the presence of worthy Virgil
MIA matron. living not far from Martins burg, of
his own military proves. and was bitterly sati-
rical on Jackson's personal appearance. He said
that in one of the battles in the Valley he had
been thrown very near the great secesh General,
and might very easily have killed him or made
him a prisoner, but that he could not have sup
posed such an uneouth, clownsh, ill-bred look
ing fellow to be the mnch-lauded hero Of the re-
bel cause. ''You kill General jackson or make
him q prisoner, said the noble woman, s.why,
sir, if you had suspected for moment that You
were within ten steps Of Gen. Jackson, you would
have put spurs to your horse and never stopped
running till you had crossed the Potomac r

Northern Confessions.

The Northern journals, since their terrible
disaster at Fredericksburg, hove shewn more
candor and truth than at any period since the
war commenced. They have raised tremen-
dous howl over the carcasses of the thousands
OF Yankees who fell upon that. bloody feld-
Many of them admit that their loss was l5,-
600, while some of them estimate it higher
still. We doubt not that their loss in killed
and wounded was fully 10000.
We insert on the first page of this paper a
specimen or two of their lamentations, and
recommend them to the pernsal of the reader.
The Abingdon Virginian. [volume] (Abingdon [Va.]) 1849-1883, 1863-01-02

We are indebted to an unknown friend for
copies of late Washington City and Cincin-
natl papers. Among the latter is the Com
mercial of the 10th Dec, containing an Ella
borate account of the battle of Fredericksburg.
1t is amusing to read the complacent remarks
of the correspondent, about the bravery of the
Yankee troops, the heavy losses of the rebels,
and the successful encounter of the Yankee
General Franklin with Stcnewall Jackson

From the Lynchburg Republican.
The Battle of Cane He'll, Ark.

All our information from Arkansas con-
vinces us that theireports of the Federal gem
erals of the late battle at Cane Hill, in Arkan-
sas, are, as usual, falsifcations and that they
were, in fact, snnndly thrashed, and not only
suffered much more largely shan Gen. Hind
mans forces, but were driven from the field.
The editor Of the jackson Appeal has convers-
ed with an influential Misspurian, direct from
Gen. Homes headquarters. who gives the
Substance of Gen Hinilman's official report,
from which we arrive at a very different con-
clusion from that conveyed by the Federal re-
ports
The battle ragged fercely all day--our force
/! attacking the enemy, who were posted at
Cane Hill, supposed to he $4,000 srrong.-
The latter were finally driven from the field.
and pursued to within eight miles of Fayette-
vile, when our forces fell back to their supply
depot, between Cane Hill and Van Buren,
We captured three hundred prisoners, includ-
ing General Hubbard. and large number of
officers, four stands Of colors, wagons loaded
with thirtv-one hundred complete suits of
clothing. with some artillery which the enemy
was compelled to abandon after dismountlng
the pieces, The Federal loss in killed and
wounded was about one thousand; the Confed-.
crate loss in killed, wounded and missing,
about three hundred After the battle the
enemy sent in, a flag Of truce requesting a ces-
sation of hostilities for twelve hours, and per-
mission to bury their dead, which was acced-
ed to.
Gen. Streene and Col Chapel, of the Mis-
souri, troops, were killed. The report that
Col. Clark was killed is unfounded. A num-
Der Of subordinate officers were also among
our list of casualties, whose names we were
unable to procure.
Our friends in Arkansas regard the result
as decided success, the fruit of which will be
to inspire Gen. Homes army with confidence
in their officers and themselves, and check the
invaders who are seeking to ravage the State.
At latest adyices the opposing forces were oc-
cnpying positions on the opposite side of Cane
Hill, which is the eastern spur of Boston
mountain.

Deserters.

It is sometimes exceedingly painful to as
to advertise deserters. particularly when they
are, as is often the case.S the sons and. rela-
tives Of some of our best friends. Were it
not that the law makes it imperative, we
would not do it. The penalty for desertion in
time of action or danger, is death. This is
sometimes conamuted BY the commanding Of
flcer to disgrace and publication in the news
papers. When this 10 the c.se we do SO the
more unhesitatingly, that the subject may be
reserved from the more extreme penalty.-

times prefer to hear that they had fallen upon
the bloody field in defence Of their suffering

Major Jasper Whiting.

Major Jasper S. Whiting, of Louisiana, died
on Thursday morning, in the thirty year
Of his age, of malignant scarlet fever, after a
brief illness Of six days. At the time of his death
Major Whiting was one of the Assistant Adjn-
tant Generals for the army of the Confederacy
Before the retreat of our army from Yorktown,
last spring, he was engaged in the responsible
duty of conducting the survey of our new posi-
ton on the Chickahominy, and throughout the
battles Of Richmond was with General jackson
as his guide and chief engineer. He was man
of brilliant intellect and fine attainments, and
died universally beloved and respected. In his
death society has lost an ornament and the Con-

gang of rowdies, then, in the melee, another
crowd rushes forward to assist him; but no one
can tell who are his friends or who are his ene-
mics; among them all and by them he is thrown
down, jumped upon and trampled nearly to death.
Thus it is that if the United States demand
notes areas we verify believe they are--bet-
ter ten thousand fold than wildcat paper, yet it
makes no difference; they stand upon the same
level; they are, in one word, like all the others,
irredeemable, and the whole body together, light
and iimsy as the body is, combine to effect a
weight under which the respectable Uncle Sam
is being crushed to death.
