The NEw JERSEY TRooPs. The New Jersey
troops are behaving noby in the present emer-
gency. -Four regiments (nne months's men,
having expired. Upon request of the Govern
m.nt they at once returned TO Alexandra And
will participate in the campaign which has Just
opened. -Four other regiments which bad Just
reached home, and were this week to be mustered
out, have rendered their services fer the defence
of Pennsy Sania, and il necessary, will return to
Virginia. Another regiment which was to leave
Virginia yesterday, is also announced as willing to
remain. These regiments have an aggregate OF
over seven thousand men, and their services will
be most valuable in this exigenry. Their conduct,
in conserving to remain 10 the field At moment
when every mind was full Of expectations OF greet
ing the dear ones at home is in the highest degree
pralseworthy.
A letter from Gen. Rockers army, dated the
18th, says:
" In the Sixth corps we have a New Jersey
regiment, the Twenty. third, which has lately ex.
hibited an extraordinary degree of patriotism
worthy Of acknowledgement.
"Their term Of service expired on the Sd 10.
staut, but just as they were preparing to leave fol
home the order was received for the division to
cross the Rappahannock. Their colonel ordered
out his command, and after forming them into
line and telling them Of the order issued, he stated
that, Notwithstanding their time was out, he fol
one was going with the division, and desired tt

WAiT.-We don't mean that anybody who 10
moved to 20 to the rescue Of invaded free Ss'te',
should wait, or stand upon the order of going,
but we do mean that we should not believe one
half the rumors that fly over the telegraph wires
in these hours Of great excitement, until we have
waited 1T least long enough TO compare them
with the more sober statements that will follow
aad set them right, as well as with the more rel'
able previous news. Bad men, specalators, un-
scrupulous men, will seize upon these opportuni-
lies to set aAoat any lie that will affect the money
or stock market favorably for their opsratiors,-
and 80 we may expect such fabricatons as the
false report from yicksburg endorsed by the
New York World, and the equally mendacous
story of the New York Express about grea. dis
asler to Hooksrs army. Hooker has met with
no reverse, nor has vicksburg been relieved by
Gen. Johnston. But these lies served the pur-
pose Of the papers or the men who invented
them, made some people curse the ineiiiciency Of
our Government, or OF our Generals, enabled men
who had bought gold at 81, 40 to sell at $3.50
with prospect Of buying again at Sl,45,-and
il il accomplished that those who uttered the lie
gained their end.
1t would be better II the Government would
send each day to the press an authoritative state
ment Of the news, but it does not do so, and we
are therefore obliged to get our news as we best
can. For this reason much that is wholly un.
true, and much that is greatly exaggerated will
fnd its way into our columns, while the real facts
may not overtake the false reports for some time
We can only advise our readers to exercise
more judgment and less credulity in sitting the
news furnished them. We print, Of course
what We receive, and generally have no time to
say word, editorally, respecting the latest
news, but we trust those who read will wait long
enough to consider probabilities and compare
kilograms before believing sensation new'

Gen. Schenck has suppressed, within his depart,
ment, the circulation Of tie New York World
the New York Express, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
the Chicago Times, snd the New York Caucas-
sian, and has forbidden the local press TO publish
extracts from these papers. We regret this order
Of Gen. Schsnck, and We regret still more the APP
parent necessity for il. The papers named are
doing their utmost to create dissfeetion against
the constituted authorities Of the country and
against those in command Of Federal troops, and
10 the presen. eIigency are only agencies Of mis-
chief, working with more zeal and bitterness
against those to whom the direction Ct public af-
fairs must be confded than against traitors 10
arms. They make no disguise that they are TAX
ing this course in order to gain political advantages
by it, and their partsanship Is 40 palpabs tina, i
ought not to be dangerous; and We confess to a
feeling Of shame aud notification to kEow that
the people can be mislsd in moments Of grea,
public danger by the pernicious teachings Of .
partisan press. 1t is, We think, the saddest com
men,ary we have yet had on Democratic inslitu
tons, that 10 times OF the most imminent psri

Their interest in the election Of State officers Is

The Murder Of William Mon.
roe Mason.

WILLIAM MONROE MASON, son of Hen.
~ Mason, Esq. of this township, was
murdered at his residence in Mexico, Mis-.
souri,, ON the-day of April 1863. The
particulars, as We learn them, are as fol-
lows: He had hired mulatto girl, who,
proving to be girl of bad character, aud
Mr.. Mason being annoyed by persons
prowling about his premises, was sent
back to her master. A short time subse-
quent to this, about eight o'clock in the
evening, hearing his dog barking he step
ped to the door to ascertain the cause.
Immediately upon opening the door he
spoke to his dog, and almost at the same
instant shot was fred, the bullet passing
through his head. He 1ived until nine
o'clock the next morning, but was unable
to speak after he received the fatal wound.
There seems to be no doubt that the
murder was committed by negro soldier
belonging to e Morrill's horse, as he and
another were seen prowling about the
premises = short time previous to the
murder. 1t is not probable that the muir
derer viii be. punished, because it is as
much as white mans life is worth to ap-
pear and testify against one Of these negro
soldiors.
Mr.. MAsoxs body was accompanied to
the grarc by large concourse Of friends
and neighbors.
Thus pcrishsdin in the prime of manhood,
wILLiAM MONROE MASON, murdered in
csid blosi by 4 negro assassin, and With
out the probability of the murderer being
avenged by the hand of justice. Who
would have believed three years ago that
the time would be that the murder of a
white man by negro, in Missouri: would
not be punished?

It is quite ceratain Hooker had ordered
a portion of his army to recross the Rap
pahannock some days ago, as previously
stated. in accordance with plan formed
before he commenced his retreat, but the
plan was not approved by Gen. Halleck,
who counfernanded it. Hence, the con-
6icting reports concerning the crossing of
the river by Hooker. Gen. Butterfeld
has said that movement cannot be made
for some time. Itseems not unlikely that
