AN ASSAULT.

We regret to have to state this
week, that on Friday night, about
10 o'clock, some unprincipled viii
lain passing by our house, threw a
stone through tho window, which,
though not of sufficient size to kill
us, might have killed our child,
who was lying near the window.
We are proud to say, that the night
patrol having heard of the villain
GUS deed, felt most indignant at
such conduct, and under their kind
and protecting care we retired to
rest in peace, trusting to their vigi-
lance to prevent our further annoy
ance. The villain who did the
deed is pretty we'll known.

Reports from Rebel sources.

New YORK, Oct 1.-The Richmond Exam
liner of the 18th ult., says Gen. Lee has Off
cially informed the rebel war department that
Towards and Slocum's corps oil the army of
the Potomac have gone to Gen. Rosecrans. 1t
was also said that Rosecrans had been rein
forced Gen. Grant to the number Of sixteen
thousand men. And the Examiner says
that General Lee will act as his Judgment
dictates.
A Mobile dispatch of Sept. Goth, says =
''Ihe New Orleans Era says most disastrous
reverse has occurred to the federals in Louis
lana. This concurs with rumors that Gen.
Weitzel has been defeated and killed by Dick
Taylor, at Napoleon, La
An Atlanta dispatch reports that Gen.
Wheeler with his cavalry is across the Ten
nessee. Another dispatch reports Lookout
Mountain held by Hoods division, now under
Gen. Jenkins. 1t is supposed that an assault
will be made as the rebels command the stu
alton. Gen. Rosecrans has two lines of de-
Tense six hundred yards apart. Gen Long
street commands the river and railroad below
Chattanooga. The rebel loss in killed and
wounded will not exceed $4,000. The Yam
kee loss in killed and wounded will not reach
2S, 900. Five Yankee hospitals full of wound
ed were in rebel hands.
On Thursday night the federals made two
attempts on the rebel lines, but were each
time driven back to their entertainments.
The Lynchburg Republican of Sept. 2S re-
ports slight skirmishing in upper Tennessee,
near Zollicoffer, but says battle in that
quarter is hardly probable, as burnside will
be forced to retire to reinforce Rosecrans.
The Examiner contains the following =
CHARLESTON, Sept. 27.-The enemy is
making himself impregnable on Morris Island
BRIsToL, Tenn, Sept. 28.-The enemy
burned the railroad bridge at Carter station
thirty miles from here, on Saturday, evacuated
the place, and is now retreating in the dlrec-
ton of Knoxville, our forces pursuing. Our
cavalry occupied Jonesboro last night. =
Gordonsville dispatch of the 2Sth says the
federal force beyond the Rapidan is represent
ed to be 10000 efficient men. Opinions are
conflicting as to whether there will be fight
soon or not.

GEN. GILMoRE's REPLY.

HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF GULF, }
Morris Island, S. c., Sept. 3, 1868.
+. q. SHAW, ESQ, Clifton, Staten Island, New
York:
SIR have just received your letter ex-
pressing the dlsapprobation of yourself and
family Of any effort to recover the body of
yOnr son, the late Colonel Shaw, of the fifty
fourth regiment Massachusetts volunteers,
buried in Fort Wagner, and requesting me to
forbid any Dissertation of his grave or disturb
ance of his remains.
Had it been possible to obtain the body of
Colonel Shaw Immediately after the battle in
which he lost his life, | should have sent it to
his friends, in Difference TO sentiment which
l know to be widely prevalent among the
friends of those who fall in battle, although
the practice is one to which my own judgment
has never yielded assent.
The views expressed in your letter are so
congenal to the truest instincts of a soldier,
as 10 command not only my cordial sympathy
but my respect and admiration. Surely, no
resting place for your son could be found
more fitting than the scene where his courage
and devotion were so conspicuously displayed.
beg to avail myself of this opportunity to
express my deep sympathy for yourself and
family IN their great bereavement, and to as
sure you that on no authority less than your
own shall your sons remains be disturbed.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Brigadier General Commanding.

HE MISSOURI LAND PIRATE.-The Louis
vile Journal states that "Quantrell" is the
real name of the lawless villain, who, in the
character Of a guerrilla chief" has been so
long engaged in robbery and murder in west
ern Missouri and eastern Kansas. He first
became notorious, some years ago, in Ken
lucky, where, calling himself "Dr. b. j.
Hayne," he was guilty of forgery, fraud,
and bigamy, within the space of thirty days"
He was tried at Paducah, and sent to the pen
itentiary. After serving his term in the peni-
Tertiary, he spent some time in the Louis
vile work-house. He was an unmiti-
gated scoundrel, capable of any crime.
At length he found his way to Kansas, where
he was known as "Charley Hart" and at
tempted to become associated with the free
state men; but his character soon became ap.
parent, and he was compelled to leave Law
renee. He went to Missouri and Joined the
border ruiians; and, having found congenial
associates, felt at home. He has remained
with those associates; and, having no more
use for DISCUSSES, he resumed his real name
and became notorious as ''Quantrell" He
has hated Lawrence ever since he was driven
from that place. He burnt the city to gratify
this hatred. 1t W ould be very satisfactory tc
hear of him in the hands of some of Jenni
sons men. They would swiftly end his ca
reer.

AT a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce
to-day. a report was made from the committee
to examine the harbor defenceS, that vessel
would be exposed to raking fire of eight
hundred guns Of the heaviest calibre, in pass
ing into this harbor, and they did not see how
a hostile vessel could go through the Mar
rows. The harbor is in a most perfect state
of defence.
The reception to the Russian officers was
most enthusiastic. Fifteen regiments formed
the escort, and the spectators along the route
are said to have reached 100000. At the city
hall the official welcome was rendered. and
the guests reviewed the military. The whole
affair passed off finely.
A special to the Post says the Missouri del
egation have had an interview with the preS-
dent to-day, and it is nov considered certain
that Schotield will not be removed

CINCINNATI, Oct. IA special dispatch to
the Commercial from Nashville, says =
about three hundred rebels, confined in
an unfinished hotel known as the Maxwell
House, were precipitated from the fifth story
through the gangway, which was fitted up
with temporary stairs, to the second floor.
The prisoners were making a simultaneous
rush to breakfast, when the stairs gave way
under the unusual weight. Two men have
been taken out Of the ruins dead; two have
since died OF injuries received, and ninety-six
others are injured. Some have both legs and
arms broken, and others are more seriously
injured.
New YORK, Oct. IA letter from Knox.
vile, Tenn, dated the oath, published in the
Cincinnati Gazette, announces that recruiting
for the National Guards is filling them up rap
idly. Seven new regiments are nearly full,
and Crnwford's LIST Tennessee regiment of ar
tillery has already six hundred. They are
arming as rapidly as raised, and will become
a strong element for the defence Of Tennessee.
New YORK, Oct. 1.-The indianapolis
Journal, OF Monday, states that fifteen thou
sand troops are to be sent forward to General
Rosecrans Immediately, from that place. The

The Richmond papers of the 2Sth and 18th,

''ATLANTA, Sept. 26.-Our lines extend
around Chattanooga within striking distance

cupied Cooper's Gap on Lookout mountain.
The mountain is now held by General Long

E1iseelIameous War News.

New York, Oct. 1.-Gov. Bowman of
Western Virginia has issued a proclamation
announcing that he has information that the
rebel Generals lmbOden, jackson, and, it may
be, others, contemplate a movement of their
forces through the mountains into that state,
for the purpose of devastating and laying
waste the country, and rObbing, plundering
and numbering the people. He therefore
calls upon all officers OF the militia and all
persons subject to military duty within the
state to have their arms in order and be ready
to assemble at their usual places of rendez-
vouS, at moments notice, and 20 move to
any point where their services may be re-
CURED. The Wheeling Intelligencer says the
proclamation has occaSiOned considerable ex-
element among the people, who are already
preparing to meet, with arms in their hands,
any enemy who may appear.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 1.-The Alexandria
News says that Moseby, while on his way
down on Monday, with his gang of guerrllas,
passed within half mile of detached camp
of the I'd Massachusetts regiment of cavalry,
whose headquarters are at Centreyille. He
seems to have no fears of capture, and finds
but little trouble in penetrating our lines. On
Thursday last he captured, near Springfield
station, two teams Of four mules each. 1t
seems strange that our military authorities
will allow army trains to go without strong
escort. Guerrillas seem to be about as plenti-
full i'll Fairfax county as our own troops, and
much more active. Until regiment is sta
toned at Fairfax Court House, and another
at Vienna, we may anticipate the continued
and frequent depredations of these bands. At
o'clock yesterday morning, Col. Delaney
was a prisoner near Vienna, in charge of
Moseby, on his way south.

been received from the army of the Potomac
that affairs are apparently unchanged Moth
ing is Transporting to indicate any immediate
active operations. The enemy is in strength
on the south side of the Rapidan. Gen. Hills
entire corps is supposed to be there. The en-
eme's rickets are on the north aud west sides
of our lines.
A few days ago a considerable column of
rebel troops was observed going northward,
near the Blue Ridge, perhaps forming part
OF the force reported TO be concentrating in
the valley.
Col. Delaney, recently captured by the
rebels, was attached to Gov. Pierponts staff.
He was at the time sojourning at the house Of
a relative, several miles from AleXandria.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER ., 1888.


Since the beginning OF the war we have had
strong feeling against the disinterring of
bodies and their transportation to distant
places of burial. Express offices snd baggage
trains numbered with corpses seemed unnatu-
raj; the prominence given to death and cor
ruption, as if the mortal had not put on I'M
mortality, seemed entirely unchristian. This
transportation of bodies from distant battle
fields became the fashion, because one did it
another must do it also, or seem to fail in re-
spect for the dead, and to thepoor the expense
was great burden, and what real, true salts
faction was ever derived from it? Every hui
man heart knows how bitter these partings
are, but after weeks and months have passed,
to be dragged back again into the grave,
whence we have just struggled forth, to have
all our trust and faith buried in the dust again
by the arrival of dreary box holding the re-
mains OF one who went from us in full health
andstrength- can desire such home COM
ing! What good can come from this earthly
view of death? One of our generals said, in
speaking of this fashion of returning bodies,
(for it is mere fashion, that a soldier killed
in battle should be regarded as one lost at sea,
and the body be left whereit had fallen We
thought this well said, and hoped it would be
acted on, and now one man by his own noble
example gives the initiative in this great re-
form, thus rising above the grave into the
eternal life beyond. The letter of Mr. Shaw,
the father of Col. Shaw of the Massachusetts
9th regiment, and the reply of Gen. Gilmore
so exactly meet our views, seem so true. so
manly so christian and so noble, that we are
glad TO aid in their circulation, hoping that
the example, so fairly set, may be universally
followed.
MIR. sHAws LETTER.
Brig. Gen. Gilmore, eOnsmandinq Depayt-
msnt of The South =
Sir: l take the liberty to address you, be-
cause | am informed that efforts are to be
made to recover the body of my son, Colonel
Shaw of the 54th Massachusetts regiment,
which was buried at fort Wagner. My object
IN writing is to say that such efforts are not
authorized by me or any of my family, and
that they are not approved by us. We hold
that soldiers most appropriate burial place
Is on the field where he has fallen. / shall
therefore, be much Obliged, General if in
case the matter is brought to your cogni-
zance, you will forbid the dissertation of nv
sons grave, and prevent the disturbance OF
his remains or of those buried with him.
With most earnest wishes for your success
l am, sir, with respect and esteem, your ODE
dent servant, FRANCIS GEORGE SHAW.
