HORRIBLE ATROCIrY-A LIEUTENANT
81 TUE 7TH Iowa HUNG BY GUERRILLAs.
THE following is an extract from a pri
vate letter dated Corinth, August 6:-On
the morning of July 30th, our foraging
party, consisting of five teams and fifty
Men, started out in search of food. When
mot many miles from camp we were sur
prised by guerrillas, it being in a swamp.
Lieut.. Dillon, First Lieutenant of company
g, 9th IOwa), was in command, and being
in advance, he, with Quartermaster Ser
geant Ray, was captured and carried away
fito the swamp, and Lee Bean, who was
wagon master, was killed on the spot. We
gave pursuit as soon as possible but were
unable to discover them, although we
secured the swamp with cavalry and infan-
try. We were obliged to return without
knowing what had become of our COM
mander, whose loss was much regretted by
al who knew him. On August 9Th he was
found about nine miles from Corinth,
hanging to q tree, where he had been left
by these merciless fiends. Sergeant Ray
has not been found, but we presume he
suffered the same fate. The guerrillas will
hide in swamps and when mans back is
turned they will shoot him.
And these fsay the writer) are the men
whom Mr.. Thayer and other Copperheads
call "our brethren" They may be his
they are not ours. But the worst wish
him is that he may be drafted and fall into
the hands of the bushwhackers. They
would soon testify their love, and send him
5count coppers with the father of Copper
heads.

One of our government officials just re-
Burned from Peru, tells us that among the
first and most frequent inquiries made of
him there about our public men was,
whether he knew or had ever seen the Gel
ebrated American Chemist, DR.. j. G. Aver,
of Lowell. His remedies are found in eve
nv village from the elevated slopes of the
Andes down to the coast, and their remark
able cures seem to attract even more atten-
ton there than in this country. The sem
timent of wonder at their effects, takes a
far deeper hold upon half civilized and
superstitious people than it does with us
where the rationale of medical problems
is so much more generally understood.
No other American has made himself so

That must be dull man who does not
feel some pride of country when he finds
among distant nations that he is already
.kpown and welcome there, through the Ia
hors of our Statesmen, Merchants and
scholars. whose renown has become ma
t;onal property, and consequently in some
measure his own. Whether DIR. Ayers
remedies do actually cure more than 9TH

sheir health and lives to ones skin, they
are snre to feel an interest in him which
