about ten O'Clock, Lieutenant Wieman, with de-
fAhhment OF the Eighteenth PennsylvAniA cavalry,
brought to this city about sixty rebel prisoners,
captured near Middleburg, about twenty miles be-
yond Fairfax Court House, by General stAhl's
cavalry in their recent and successful reconnois-
sance under General Copeland.
They were brought into Fairfax on the 6th inst,
whence they were sent to the city. Many Of them
arc poorly clad, and otherwise in most miserable
condition. A portion Of them were In citizens
garb. Along with them were brought one hundred
horses and half dozen wagons, which were oaptur-

SAoots AZ FafAsr-tn-Lap aEd Wounds atm Morfdliy.
Nbout O'Clock this morning, an alteration oo-
Sred between George W. Bennett and Enooh
sArd, his father-in-law. During the melee Ben
4ett drew his revolver and shot Ward, infioiing,
II ia supposed, a fatal wound.
DR.. Morgan was Immediately summoned 70 the
Asslstance Of the wounded mani who, after probing
the wound, was unable to Hnd the ball. Ward is
still in languishing condition. DR.. Morgan has
ordered that he be kept quiet a. he intends making
, further examination this afternoon. Bennett
was arrested by PatTolman Gibson, and lodged in
jail TO await hearing.
The shooting occurred in stable belonging to
Bennett, situated In an alley between Ninth and
Tenth and d and + streets. Bennett was formerly
attached 10 the Garlbaldi regiment but has been
out Of the service for some time past. Both Ben
nett and Ward were, up to this sad occurrence, en-
gagged in the suffers business We understand
that this was = continuation Of an afffay, which
occurred last night between the same parties,
growing out Of a money transaction.

BY Order of tbe Board
JOHN HUlET. Sec. & Ire,

Tho Old Guard is full Of the true spirit
offs. Ir..esitates not to tell the Govern
ment and the people whst the war has done
for the North, as the following article, copied
from it, shows:
| How WE ARE REvENGINe SrMrER,-The
following are the reported casualties OF this
war from its beginning to January lst 1863
Federals killed 1871; wounded gI.029 };
died of disease and wounds 100000; made
prisoners 6s,2le; total 4oo, 37o. Couiederptes
killed 20, ,893; wounded 59,9l5; died Of dis.
ease and wounds 10000; made prisoners %,
| 100; total 222.GII.
They have killed 22,S74 more Of our men
than We have of theirs.
They have wounded, not mortally, 39,4l+
more Of our men than we have of theirs.
15nnO9 more of our men have died of dis
ease and wounds than of theirs.
They have made prisoners of $4,000 more
of our men than we have of theirs.
Onr total casualties are 237, ,291 more than
tbeirs--that is, our casualties have been l4,-
900 more than as much again as theirs.
This is the way VIC have " revenged the
firing on Fort Sumter"
But tlis is net all. We have spent almost
2,O0O,0 900 more Of money than they have
spent.,
widows:
We have made 100000 of children faith

We have destroyed the Constitution of our
country.
We have brought the e cious savagery
of war into every corner Of soc;e!y.
We have demoralized our pits, 50 that
our very religion is source of immortality
aad blood.
Instead of being servants Of Christ, our min.
listers are servants of Satan.
The land is full of contractors, thieves, pro-
vost marshals, and a thousand other tnois Of
illegal and despotic power, MS Egypt was OF
yermin in the days of the Pharaohs.
We are rapidly degenerating in everything
that exalts nation.
Our civilization is perishing.
We are swiftly drafting into inevitable civil
war here in the North.
We are turning our homes into charnel
houses There is corpse in every family.
The angel of death sits in everv door.
The devil has removed from Ta,tarus to

We pretend that we are Furnishing the

Convention of Nurserymen.

A prominent NurserymaI and Fruit-GroSer
offs neighboring State, writes US as follows
u. REDMOND, E.q.--Dear Sir-Wuuld ii
not be we'll for the Nutserymen-of the South
to NEE. together some time during the pres
ent summer, for consultation on matters per-
tanning 10 their business? 1t seems TO me
very desiraBse that, at least, there should be
concert of action in regard toprices adapted
to the times. tits preposterous to'sell the
products of the Nursery at he:prices which
ruled previous to the var, while everything
else is so enormously high. A regular sched-
ule of prices should be established and sd-
hered to by oil engaged in selling trees, vines,
shrubs, &c. Other matters of interest to the
profession, aid to Southern promology, might
very properly engage The attention of an as
selnblage of Southern Nurserymen, and /
should be pleased to see the proposition car
ried into effect.
The object Of this noteis to suggest to you
the prnpriety of calling attention TO the SUBJ
iect in The columns of the next issue Of the
!" Catlticator," should it meet your approha-
ton. Let tie meeting. or convention, be
held, pay NJ Atlanta or Augusta, some time in
the month of August. If you agree with me,
name the time and place in the next number
of the Cultirator.
Fully agreeing with the writer of the above,
in the views he has expr ssed, we take the
liberty ofappointing Atlanta as the place, and
JFednesday the 10Th of Anglst, as the time
of holding the Convention; and we hope the
importance of the subject will secure full
