Does the mere fact of having blsc

Of her children? That black woman
tears and hesrt-rendisg cries for be
lost children, was enough to make th
coldest heart warm into pity. "A seces

You have been informed from time
to time. of the sickness and death in the
92d. Reg. o. V. 1. About sixty or
more, Of Ohio's brave sons have been
deposited in the burial ground. at this
place, and head board to each grave.

KEGS for burying them in their grave
yard-what do you suppose they say?
"As soon as you Yankees leave here
we will dig up your dead and pitch
their carcasses into the Cumberland riv-
er." That is what Secession does for
the women Of the SOUTH The refined
women Of the Sunny South Have you
any In the North who sympathiEe with
these she-adders? If you have, the
loyal women who have sent their hus-

1t is no use in saying that the leaders
and generals commanding rebel armies

boys 10 the army feel like hanging
Northern traitors, who encourage these
Southern rebels in the commission Of
such Infamous outrages? Is it any
wonder they say they would rather
shoot and hang such men than a rebel
in arms? '
Col. E. B. Andrews has resigned
the Colonelcy Of the seth Regiment o.
Y. l. Lieut.. Col. Duval will probably
succeed him to the command OF the reg
iment. 1t is sufficient to say that he is
every way qualified to take command
OF this crack regiment. Major Adney,
a fine officer, will no doubt be promoted
to Lieutenant Colonel. Sickness still
prevails 10 the ED Regiment, though
the number Of deaths is diminishiug.--
Lieut.. Col Fearing has been, promoted
to the Coloncy Of this regiment. Ma
jor Douglas Putnam, Jr., of Harmar,
a gallant and meritorious officer, should
and no doubt will, be promoted to Lieut..
Col. in the 99d. a.i
