AFFECTING INCIDENT IN BATTLE.-A New
port soldier in the 18th Rhode Island regi-
ment, and who was wounded in the battle of
Fredericksburg, in recent letter to his friends
in this city, narrates the following touching
incidents little boy in his vicinity, who had
fought bravely and expended his last cart
ridge. sat down for moment to rest him,
while waiting for orders. He had not sat there
long before fragment of shell came along
and took of the entire cheek from one side of
his face, with portions of the jaw The blood
flowed in torrents, and. falling on the ground,
the poor boy wept like child as he was, at
the same time calling in the most piteous tones
upon his mother, which he continued until ex-
hausted from the loss of Blood his voice was
hushed, though his slight frame evinced by its
commissions the agony he was suffering. The
writer was suffering too much from his own
wound to render any assistance, and going to
the rear shortly after, is ignorant of the poor
boys fate, but thinks he must have died short
ly after.

the Old Dominion. Technically it is argued
that the admission of the new state would
be virtual acknowledgment of the legality
of secession; and practically that the diyis-

of its resources, while the grievances under

And the Graces wear fronts, the Muse thins to

poet Whittier spoke thus in a recent letter: =
"The stereoscopic effect was wonderfully pre-
served in the largely magnifed pictures. The
statues, in particular, called forth my admira-
ton. They were solid and rounded forms of
grace and beauty. The interiors of Moorish
and Gothic architecture really seemed to in
vite ones feet upon their tessellated floors and
under their sombre arches, or beneath their
graceful arabesque galleries and colonnades.
Of the various views presented can only re-
fer to the ruins of Postum, the Rock Temples
of Egypt, the Ford of the Jordan, Melrose
say that they were most excellent"

LEICEsTER.-The notice in the Spy, the
other day, of a rum affair in Leicester, which
was sent to us from that town, did not state all
the facts, and conveyed wrong impression.
We now learn by person in Leicester that
the Patrick Kennedy of Clappville therein re-
ferred to had lost by seizure thirteen barrels
of liquor, eight of which had their contents
destroyed by officers of the law, and the re-
naming five were given up to Kennedy, be-
cause he swore they were not his; and it was
to escort from Spencer via Leicester these
five barrels of liquor that the services of the
Clappville Brass Band could be had; and
it was while on this journey that the selectmen
of the town of Leicester were compelled to
hear their performance. Of course this call
upon the fathers was not intended as a COM
pliment to them, and had its cause in their at
tempts to remove one at least of the moral
nuisances in their town. We should think it
would move them to greater fidelity in the
same direction. An exhibition such as we are
assured this was has rarely been seen in our
quiet country towns, and we hope never to
haveloccasion to refer again to another like it.

An Irnnrnnt Accuser.

The Boston Courier, talking of the misera"
BILE transports chartered for the Banks expe-
dition, represents that they were purchased
by the secretary Of the nary. Assuming this
to be true, the Courier would have the inves-
tigating committee PROFOUND the following
questions to Mr.. Welles =
"Dd you or did you not know, before the
purchase of the transports for the expedition
to New Orleans. what was the destination of
that expedition? Had you any definite in
formation upon the subject before the sailing
of the expedition, from which you might infer
that the transports purchased under the direc-
ton of the navy department were intended for
Il sea voyage-say to the gulf, or to any port
so distant as to be exposed to dangerous nav
igation?"
Before the editor of the Courier writes on
this subject again, he should take pains to be-
come better informed concerning the duties of
the secretary of the navy. Such ignorance
is more amusing than creditable. Secretary
Weles has no more to do with the charter or
purchase of transports for the army, than with
the issue of treasury notes, or the purchase
of army wagons. 1t is no part of the business
of his department. He neither purchased
nor chartered vessels for the Banks expedi-
ton, and he is no more responsible for them
than for the election of Prince Alfred to the
throne of Greece, or for the editorial peculiar
tiles of the Boston Courier. 1t is nowise like
ly that the investigating committee will pro-
coed in the case as the Courier desires. Their
search for the rascality that needs to be ex-
posed will undoubtedly take another direction.
