A Bogus Soldier Shown UP.

Some time since, one Joel S. Bailey, OF
Hubbard, who volunteered last summer
for a big bounty in the l05th Regiment,
wrote a letter home, which was published
with a flourish of trumpets in the Warren
Consultation. The following ia an extract
from that letter:
Il am 4 Democrat to the back bone, as
are seven-eights of the soldiers. | have
seen enough to convince me hat the mig
ger is in his right place where he is, and
that he has easier and better times than
the white people. This war has made
more Democrats than anything that has
happened in this country. Let it close
as it may, only-let the niggers alone. |
wish those abolitionists that are at home
could be made to come here and suffer
and see as we do, they would go home
and you would hear nc more from them
about the niger"
1t appears that this man Bailey, who
talks so glibly of abolitionists and niggers,
and the suffering incident of soldier life,
has managed to remain in hospital most
of the time since his enlistment, and has
been finally discharged from the service
as useless or worthless, and returned
home, apparently well and hearty. A
fellow-soldier of Bailey's, who enlisted
IL the l05th at the same time, and still
remains at his post. writes as follows con-
corning him and vile ISLANDERS:
= " ! have q few words TO say
in regard to Joel Bailey, as ! hear he has
been writing some statements for home
circulation. that are not true. He is no
man at all, and is completely played out
of our "shebang." He has not been with
us through any of our hardships, and has
had nothing TO do but remain at Nash
vile and lie on the rest of the boys who
are fighting the battles. This is not only
my opinion, but it s the opinion of all
here who know him, and the sooner the
Government gets rid of him the better.
1t will not do for him ever to come to our
tent again. for he will be kicked out if he
does. If he had stopped writing when be
got through with himself, it would not
have mattered much, but Il lie about the
rest Of US as he has done, rouses our in
dignation. As for myself, | am as strong
a Republican as ever; and, more than that,
there is not a Democrat in our tent. |
have nothing against a true Democrat, but
| dislike L hear a fool talk. You can
publish this if you like.
Yours, c. n. CLINGAN.

ha, e adopted a report relative to the do

The report sets forth that the building

that its provisions are so susceptible oil
easy evasion that this ineficiency of the
act exposes neutrality TO the charge oil

slider how long such a mode of warfare
is to endure.

The Era of the 18th gives All account OF
the late military movemen ON the night
OF the Eth.
Gen. Banks had reached Vrrmillion-
vile after n hard fight nt VermillInn Bay
on, where he rebels had Eo'ted batteries
of infantry. but we're driven back with
consi leralle loss on both sides.
A letter in the Era, dated in the field
above New lbina the 18th, statee that Col.
kimbsll, with tho SD Massachusetts r-gi-
ment entered the rebel works at Bethel
Place on tn. morning of the lith. plant
ing our flag on the paraPet. Gen. Weits

, whole line.

unhuried. and evidences were plenty al
hloody work III their ranks. Large stores
al ammunition. some Enfield rifles. ant
other arms. were captured.
GA srny then marched through Pat
%tersonYille, skirmished continually, and
reached Franklin on the 18th. Prior to
Thursday night some thousands of pris
oners had been brought into Franklin,
whole companies of rebels being captured
at one time. At Franklin the steamboat
Cornie was captured, with three officers
Of the late gunboat Diana on board, thus
restoring TO our service. The rebels also
destroyed ten steamboats, to prevent them
falling into our hands, and two large gun
boats. Included in the destruction on
these boats was immense stores of proyis-
ions and ammunition. Il was expected
that Banks would capture Opelousa on
the 18th and occupy it.
The expedition of Gen. Grover has been
eminently successful, and in a battle with
the rebels at Irish Bend the 18th Connec-
ticut charged the rebel lines and batteries,
supported by the 26th Maine, 18th Con-
necticut, llth Maine. and 9lst New York.

From Spears 18th Ohio Battery, 4tt
Division.

Last week we gave the letter of a cor
respondent in the 18th Ohio Battery, to-
gethef with a series of resolutions adopted
by the members of the same. denying the
statements of a letter recently published
in the Warren Constitution, signed 10y +. C.
Darling. The resolutions were also sent
to the Cleveland Herald, accompanied by
a letter from which we extract the FOL-
lowing:
We trust the resolutions set Us right at
home, and prove the letter to be a libel
on the Battery, for the Report of the
Committee was adopted without a dis
senting voice. The soldiers in the field
are all sound on the war question, and
we hope our friends at home will have
faith in US.
The question may be asked, Who is r.
c. Darling? l will answer: He enlisted
in Capt. Spears Battery about the time
he saws he did, and did service in the
same about six weeks. From this time
up 10 the date of his discharge, he was
known as n of our GenAsma. soldiers,
which means neither sick nor well, but
possessed of an extra good appetite. He
left US about eleven months ago, since
which time we have suffered all our hard
ships and won all our glory. What does
he know in regard to our sentiments on
the conduct of the war;? His charges
against the officers are false. for Capt. E.
/ Spear, Jr., Lieut.. James Burdee, and
Lieut.. E. F. Reeve, are gentlemen and
brave soldiers. The resolution referring
to officers are our sentiments.
Yours, truly,
LYMAN BAILEY.

1t was a regular pitched battle at last, in
which the commanding officers Joined

Dan Rice's Show.

Dan Rice will start with his perform
ers and horses for Albany next week,
where the show. will open for the season
On the 4th May thence it viii 90 10 the
city of New York, and make a tour of the
Eastern States. As showing the value
which the public place upon humor, and
the high professional esteem in which
Dan Rice is held, we copy the following
from the Albany Standard:
Speaking OF Salaries, Dan Rice the
great American humorist, concluded an
engagement last week with DR.. &. r.
Spaulding for the season Of 1868. Rice Is
to receive S25. 900 for the season. In adj
dition, he is furnished with a carriage,
servant, &c. &c, at the expense of the
Doctor. The season lasts five months.
which shows hat Dan Rice draws a salary
twice as large as the Governor OF the
State of New York. Rice's salary foots
up to $1,000 a week, which IS just what
the Governor of Rhode Island gets for a
whole years service. This shows the val
ue of facie. and how much rather man
kind would invest their money in fun
than in politics. The salary given 10
Rice by DR.. Spaulding is immense, and
vet it will pay. The Doctor last year
cleared over $4,000 on Rice. He will
equal this in the year 1853.

Adjutant General Thomas announ-
e the Policy of the Administra,
ton as to Feeding, Clothing and
Aiming the Negroes.
We find the following in the special
correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette,
under date of Helena, April It'll:
Yesterday il was officially announced
to the soldiers of this command that Ad.
jutant General Thomas had arrived at
Helena. and desired to address them
Accordingly, early in the afternoon, regi,
ment after regiment marched into Fort
Curtis until il was crammed full TO over
flowing. After waiting an hour or two,
Adjutant General Thomas finally made
his appearance, in company with Major
General Prentiss. He was received with
three cheers from the crowd. Mounting
the rostrum he spoke as follows:
Il thank you, fellow-soldiers, for the
warm and hearty reception which you
have given me. ] receive it not as an
ovation to myself. but to the Government
which ! represent.
Il am here to-day 10 announce 10 you
the policy which has been adopted by the
Administration in the future prosecution
Of this war. | come with authority to
carry 1t out fully, and with our favor
and cooperation, successfully.
cit is well known that the rebels have
had great advantage over us. in the fact
that they have all taken the field against
us, leaving the blacks behind at home to
work for them and support them. We
now propose to take the blacks, to feed,
clothe, organize and arm them. We can
thus starve the rebels into submission, or
force a large proportion of their army to
lay down the musket and take up the
shovel and the hoe. The negroes have
fled to us for protection, and have been
treated badly. The consequences have
been that many have been driven back
to their masters, while many have been
deferred from v~enturing within our lines.
This must cease. Our pickets must be
instructed to receive these unfortunate
fugitives kindly, and to welcome them
within our lines gladly.
! have full authority to organize a
regiment of blacks at Helena and to COM
mission white men as officers of the right
character and stamp. We p also to
establish colonies of blacks along the riv-
er upon the deserted plantations. ! was
born in a slave State, was nursed by a
negress, and | think ] know the negro's
character and capacity. l believe that
the blacks will make good soldiers. We
have already two regiments that have
done good service and proved themselves
capable and brave.
4 have just organized at Memphis
eight companies as artillerists. and l pro-
pose to do the same here. The policy of
the Administration must be carried out,
and no onnosition on tho mar, Of oeroar,
