The following is from a private letter
to Ira Hyde, Esq, of Bristol, from 1. V.
Housed, formerly of Bristol, now in the
18th Iowa Regt. The Letter is dated
near Lake Providence, April 18th:
Dear UneIs:-None but those who have
experienced it, know how a soldier well
ZONES a kind letter from those whose
hearts are with him in this great struggle
TO defend the Stars and Stripes. We are
frequently asked by our friends as to the
sentiment of the soldiers in reference to
the policy of the Administration. 1t is
heartily endorsed almost unanimously,
and have no doubt but that the admin
istration would have been successful, and
the rebellion wiped out before this, if it
had not been for those f~re-eaters at the
North who call themselves peace men,
crying peace; peace, when there is no
peace, save a d~ishonorable one, which is
worse than no peace. | must aeknowl-
edge that when | have read from some of
the Northern sheets, of the movements
of those reasonable, ruin-bound sympa.
thisers, and realized the hostile influence
they were laboring to effect in the army
and at home, I get about as angry as a
religious man ought to. l cannot find a
suitable name for them, outside of the
vocabulary of the Devil. The precious
~revilers are not worthy the countenance
of loyal society. Their memory should
be lost, lest it be a stigma on their pos
terity.
On the Sd inst, Adj. Gen. Thomas, from
Washington, was here, and made speech
explaining the designs of the Administra-
ton. He told US he was here by authori-
ty of the President, to raise colored regi-
ments, and commission officers over them
from the ranks of competent men. The
design Of these regiments is 10 guard and
keep back the guerrillas from the plan
tations bordering on the river. They
thus not only support themselves, but aid
in supporting the Government. The
General met with more encouragement
than he even anticipated. Contrabands

An IScIDEyr.-During the speech of
Col. Stanley Matthews, at the great I'm
ion demonstration at Hamilton, Ohio, he
won the earnest attention Of three ladies
present, who ostentatiously wore butter
nut ornaments. When he spoke of the
effect hat the course of traitors at home
had on the soldiers in the field, and pic
tured its double co~wardice, they were OBJ
served TO grow nervous, and finally they
plucked the infamous ornaments from
their dresses and threw them upon the
ground. They did not rest content till
they had trampled them in the dust.

ANTI-SLAVERr JOURNALISM IN THE SOUTH,
Journals OF strong anti-slavery principles
are springing up in all the cities of the south
that are within the Union lines and particu-
larry in the Mississippi valley. New Orleans
has two OF them-one in English. the other in
French. Memphis has two. Nashville has
two. Of course there are plenty of them in
st. Louis, and they exist in all the chief towns
of Missouri. Kentucky, as yet, has none of
them, but they are spread largely over the
state from the other side of the Ohio river.
One is about to be started in the city of
VtckS6arg, to be called the Union, the pro-
spectus of which is now before us, and which
announces that SIT will advocate in the most
solemn and earnest manner the entire and
immediate extinction of the cause of all our
present troubles and the curse of the south
African slavery" Nearly all the press Of
Baltimore is anti-slavery, and in Wheeling at
one extremity of Old Virginia. and Norfolk
at the other, there are able anti-slavery
presses. The organ at the latter important
point, the Norfolk Virginian, which is edited
by the able and effective writer Dr. William
Porter Ray, is about to appear as a daily,
with excellent support, fine prospects and
steam presses. All these journals appear to
have good local patronage, and must eXer
else powerful influence upon the public SEN
timent Of the south. 1t is ridiculous to say
they are supported by government contrac-
tors, as every one who knows anything about
the publishing of daily paper well under
stands. 1t is curious anomaly of the times,
that while we thus find stores of journals in
the chief cities of the south battling for free
dom and the Union, they find their bitterest
antagonists in the pro-slavery and semi-se-
cession Journals still existing i'll the north

The LATE FRosTs IN THE WEsT.-The st.
Louis Union of Friday last says of the late
troSts in the west: "The damage to the green
crops has been immense. The frosts were
not limited to localities, but extended over the
entire west, and even down south as far as
Tennessee and Arkansas. In north Missouri,
Iowa, and Illinois, their effects were most Sc
we're, almost destroying the tobacco, except
in fields that were protected by tleir altuation,
and seriously injuring the young and unhard-
ened corn. In southern Illinois and Indiana
the tobacco patches along the railroads, as
we learn from passengers, are perfectly black,
and the corn fields look yellow. The tobacco
of course is ruined. Even in Kentucky the
trosts were severe, and the tobacco fields on
the river, in the counties of Henderson and
Daviess, were greatly injured. In the low
grounds the plants are nearly ruined. One
large planter in Henderson county, jackson
Mclean, loses one hundred acres.
We learn, also, that the cotton in southern
Illinois and Indiana has been greatly damaged,
some fields being entirely destroyed"

THE WAY GEN. GILMORE WoRKs.-Mr.
Fulton of the Baltimore American, writes that
rough. squally weather had kept the navy in
active, much to the disappointment OF the of
fcers and crews. We make some extracts
from his letters:
THE MARSH BATTERY.
This battery is a novelty in engineering,
and is an exemplification of the energy and
perseverance, as well as skill, of Gen. Gill
more. The "Marsh" is a vast growth of cane
bordering on Light House Inlet and Morris
Island, directly facing James Island, which
runs parallel with Morris Island. 1t is about
mile wide and borders the Island nearly its
whole length At low tide it is dry, but at
high water there is about four feet of water
over It's whole extent. When Gen. Gilmore
announced to his engineers his intention of
erecting battery in the middle of the marsh
they pronounced it as an imposslbility. He.
however, set them at work and superintended
II himself. Scows were secured and loaded
with bags of sand, and at every tide foated
into the marsh and piled on the selected SPOT
They sank down in their waterv bed and
rapidly disappeared, but the process was still
continued with each renewing tide, until an
immense bank towering six feet above the ton
of the canes, was visible. Strong traverses
were erected, and after due time given it to
settle, the gun was placed on one of the scows
and floated through the canes at high tide to
the site of the battery, where it was moored
and soon mounted, the work having all been
done at night, it being in full view of tort
johnson and the James Island batteries,
They spent immense quantities of ammuni-
ton in eadeavoring to dismouAt it, but could
not succeed, their shot either falling short or
going over it.
A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
AT sunset on Wednesday, one of the most
fearful cannonades OF the siege took place at
fort Wagner Gen. Gilmore got possession
Of the enemys riie-pits on Vinegar Hill, -
in the rear of Wagner, advancing his lines
one hundred yards, and captured seventy
eight prisoners, including two officers, in the
engagement. We lay off in full view of the
battle, and the explosion Of the shells was
