LIEUTENANT FOSTER, ofthe Twenty
third Indiana Regiment, is called
the best sharp-shooter in General
Grants army A correspondent
writes Of him as follows.
"When the army took up its pres
ent position, Foster obtained permis-
sion to sharp,shoot or his own hook.
He Immediately dug hole in the
earth, within very short range Of the
rebel works, and there he has passed
most of the time since He is a
dead shot, and never fails to "drop
the unfortunate rebel who shows
himself within eight hundred yards
of hirn. Every morning before day
light Foster goes to his little fort,
which is called 'Ceon-skin Hole,
from the nature of the material of
which his shooting-cap is composed.
He has killed more rebels than any
company Of sharp-shooters in the
the army

Smith and Keim, who died Of dis
ease contracted in the service.
New Jersey has lost three Gene
raj, all of whom were killed in bat
tie, viz:-Kearpey, Bayard and Tay-
lor.

ceiving or giving battle, remains to
be proved by subseQnent events.

uS pEOFtu ny suUSeItieu events.
Gen. Meade has more than justi-
fed the highest expectations Of the
country by what he has already done.
The people owe, him lasting honor,
praise, gratitude, and they are not
stinted in confessipg it. But be can
ask no homage which falsifes histo
~ or does injustice to brother Off
Ger who preceded him in the COM
mand of the Army Of the Potomac.
If there be those who cannot bind
laurels to the brow of the General
who successfully resisted an attack
of the enemy at Gettysburg without
stripping them from the head Of the
General who successfully made an
attack on the same enemy at Antie-
tam, it only proves the binding in
f1uence Of that military and political
partisanship which can see little else
in the course Of events but the crea-
tions of it's own distempered fancy.
The detractiou Of Gen. Mcclellan
can add nsthing to the military STA
ture Of Gen. Meade, who stands SO
high on the basis of his established
merits that he needs no artificial pc.
destral on which to claim an undue
prominence. Nothing thus far has
more become him than his dignity,
propriety, and modesty--qualities
which, in view Of what he has al
ready done, inspire the highest hopes
for the future.
We could wish that our contem-
poraries might award Gen. Meade
Just praise without finding in neces-
sary to cumber his eulogy with the
dispraise of another, since such dis
praise, even if just, cannot enrich
him, and, when it is unjust, cannot
impoverish its object. But if these
comparisons must continue to be in
stitutcd, let them be drawn accord
ing to the facts, and not distorted in
to the mere caricatures Of personal
prejudice. Already this carping
criticism, though directed against
Gen. Mcclellan, has recoiled most
unjustly on the head of Gen. Meade,
who, by necessary implication, i,
censured for not having "destroyed'
the army of Gen. Lee on the day af-
ter he had repulsed it so disastrous
ly. Still mere censurable must it
appear in the eyes Of these military
plaudits that the new General should
have allowed u week or more to
elapse before again bringing on
battle wth the now fHrcsb wbsf ct the
clamations such fact would have
elected from certain quarters under
Gen. Mcclellan 8 administration, and
if they are now comparatively hush
ed, we would fain hope that it is be-
cause the people are learning to be
more just in their military criticisms.
Men may sometimes learn from the
repetition of certain experiences and
observations what they would have
been earlier to discover if their can
dor had always been equal to their
opportunities for forming right judg-
ments.

SPEAK GENTLY.

SPEAK GENTLY.
BY j. HOWARD VERT.
Speak gently to the aged man,
Whose locks are whitening FAST
Whose dropping form is bending low,
Before Ariel's blast.
He has not long to tarry here
We soon shall haste away:
Then gently soothc each weary hour,
Each long-departing day.
Speak gently to your mother, boy,
Bowed down with anxious care;
Nor ever cause her 10 well forth,
The swift and bitter tear.
Speak gently to the merry youth,
In spring florescent bowers;
There's pain enough reserved for him:
In future rolling years.

REcoNsTRUorIoA. s.
The method of recoustructing the Union
is temperately discussed by Mr.. Stanton,
who says of the negro question:
"There must be good faith toward the
black man. It would be Infamous to have
incited him to escape from slavery only TO
remand him again, upon the restoration OF
the Union, to the tender ,mercies Of his
master. Whatever differences Of opinion
may have existed in the beginning as TO
the legality and policy of the Proclamation
and of employing the liberated slaves as
soldiers, the government and people are too
far committed in this line of action TO be
able now to withdraw without dishOuOr
and foul injustice. Many Of the consequent
ces of the war may be remedied, and even
the last vestiges-of them obliterated. Cities
may be rebuilt, desolated fields made to
bloom again with prosperity, and COM
merce may return to its old channels with
even increased activity and volume. Many
wounds may be healed, and many separa
tions may be brought to an end by the re-
newal of friendships broken by the war /;
but the separation of the slave from bis
master, SO far as it has been caused by
any action of the government, can never
be remedied. That must be an eternal
separation, resting for its security upon
the humanity as we'll as the honor Of the
American people,"

The AdnIterntIon of Food. /.

Several gentlemen of Boston are thor
oughIy investigating the adulteratiOn ot
articles Of food in common use. They
have purchased small lots Of various arti-
Giles 1t several stores, and are having them
aualized by competent persous. A similar
iuquisition is going on in New York,
PhiladeIphia, and other cities, aud the In
tention is, If these sdulteratious are found
to be extensive and hurtful. to lay the
whole matter before Congress, and ask for
legislation to punish the fraud. These
authorizations 10 some cases cause aseriOus
loss Of revenue to the government. The
hundreds of thousands of pounds Of burnt
peas and rye sold under the name Of coffee
take the place of just so much Of the gen
uins article, upon which duties would be
paid, and what the government thus loses
the consumer does not gain, for he gener-
ally pays for the mock coffee all that
the real coffee should sell for, duties and
exchange included-in fact more, for the
duties are made a prstext for adding two
or three times their amount to the prices,
aud that too Of articles which have paid
no duty at all. The appreciation of prices
Of imported goods since the war COM
menced should be equivalent to the duties
and the exchange, or the premium ON
gold but We suspect that in many
articles an investigation will show that
the actual appreciation is several times
that amount, and that too where there is
NO scarcity to account for It. The dealers
make the most of the excuse given them
by the duties and the cost of gold, just as
manufacturers put upon their goods two,
three or four times the amount Of the gov
ernment tax under cover of that item
The war tax In fact comes out Of the pro-
ducers and consumers, and Q tax on few
simple articles of universal consumption
would therefore have been preferable to
the present complicated and expensive sys-
tenn, since the manufacturers and middle
men find no difficulty in levyiug upon their
customers their own portion Of the taxes.
1t is doubtful whether the government
do anything very effectively towards pre-.
venting the aduIteration of articles Of food.
1t may impose fines and penalties for the
offsnse, as the British government now
does, but it cannot exercise the surveil-
lance necessary to detect the offenders, in
one out of thousand cases. Neverthe-
less the agitation of the matter will not be
without good results, and il the people can
learn how to protect themselves against
Imposition, and respectable grOcers shall
be made to feel the necessity of look
ing out more sharply for the interests of
their customers, we may at least hope to
be relieved from some of the more fragrant
impositions in matters of food, aud attain
to reasonable confidence in the genuine
ness Of what We eat.

Editors IntelEigsHeer:
Knowing that you have few II any cor

Union as this, aud thinking that short
sketch of the country, its climate and min
eral and agricultural resources, &c, might
prove acceptable to your paper and not

that the business of newspaper writing is

Last February, being in San Francisco,
aud hearing glowing accounts OF recent
discoveries of rich gold and silver mines
near the Colorado River in the Territory
Of New Mexico, l caught the mining fever,
an epidemic very prevalent among Cali
fornians; aad preparing an outfit, / started
for the, New EldOradO in company with
some ten or twelve others. We left San

miles down the coast; from thence We

Mustang horses and Spanish cattle, to Los
Angeles, one of the oldest established
Catholic Missions in Galifornia. lts iu-

desert, destitute of vegetation, save the
wild palmetto, cactus, aud here and there

with occasionalspringsO or holes of allkali
water at intervals OF 10 or 40 miles. On
the sixteenth day out, we reached Rock
Springs Mining District, In San BaFnardino

mfners at work prospecting for new IOdes
or preparing TO sink shafts aud run tunnels,

This has been very dull day in all the markets,
as was natural after the excitement in the gold
market yesterday. Gold nuctuated all day be-
tween 1862 and 1854, closing l6l bid, and looking
rather firm. Exchange was very inactive indeed,
at 1877 1859. Il II said on the street that the de-
cline In gold yesterday was largely due to the
short sales of leading banking house, which has
-alw avs been q heavy holder Of gold, but which
happens just now 10 own mono Of the precious
commodity. II this be 90, the reaction will pro-
badly be sharp.
Money In o drug at sac per cent. The rate
-wou,d ial still lower but for the unwilngness Of
the government TO take all that IL offered at per
cent on call after ten days. As soon as the limit
of these deposits on call Is reacbed--which, at the
present rate Of depostng will be about the lst of
May-the Secretary will probably begin to issue
his new Treasury notes; and We learn that the as
sociated banks Of New York, Philadelphia and
Boston are prepared TO take the entire issue offered
by the department-say $50 900 900. for In
stancc--on condition that the money shall only be
drawn from them as II is wanted by govern
ment. This plan win probably meet the
yiows Of the Secretary, az IL will secure
aim the money which he wants on fair terms, while
Il will obyiate the risk Of any disturbance in the
money market arising from the withdrawal Of hank
deposits by the public. The new Treasury nodes,
which are to be legal tender at the option Of the
holder, will, in an easy money market, becom. a
savorite investment, and the banks will D.vs NO
difficulty in disposing OF them, while, Il money
tightens up, they will be used asa currency, aud
will relieve the stringency.
