tain Dewey, Of this place, being restored to

ER, you say, The whole affair seems to have

the authorities by citizens without any real
knowledge of Captain Dewey's guilt" This
statementis is not warranted by the facts that
have transPired. If there has been any n i'm
position on the authorities" we think it was
when statements were made to them that in
duced them to restore Captain Dewey to his
command. Will Captain Dewey or his friends

that was in his employ before his capture at
Holly Springs, that he said he sold into

COLONEL SAWYER CURISG A STRAGGLER.
"A correspondent of the Norwalk Reflector
details how Colonel Sawyer effectually cured
the only straggIer there was in the 8th Ohio
at the late series of battles near Chancellor
vile. One single man of the whole regiment
disappeared at the time of the repuIse of the
llth corps. He returned to his regiment on
Monday, when they were in the advance, in
9s,rns the face Of aI the stfasRRy sfaaseRRy sRSb re-
ported to have arraigned the delinquent, and
after having properly leeturing him, directed
that he be tied to a tree so that his legs could
not run away when the rebels should open
with shot and shell, averring that he only
needed to get used to the shrek of shells and
the hiss of balls to become worthy of the Sth
Ohio. Just when the process of tying him
was completed, the rebels opened and made
the usual music, until their line was driven
back. The men and officers all flew TO their
places, and the straggler was forgotten until
the brush was over. It was then found that
the shot and she'll had been flying thick and
fast, cutting limbs, shattering trees, and tear
ing up the earth all around him. The Re-
heetor correspondent thinks the lesson was
ample, and the single straggler of the Sth will
hereafter stand fast in battle.
