CAMP INCIDENTAL letter to the Trumpet
and Freeman, from the 44th Regiment of Mas
sachusetts volunteers, relates the following
interesting incident:
The Chaplain (Rev. Mr.. Hall, pastor of the
Unitarian church IN Plymouth, Mass, and son
of Rev. DR.. Hal! of this city, gave the regi-
mE mt an excellent sermon 10 day on profanity
When he had closed his sermon, the Colonel
honest soul stepped forward and acknowl-
edged his own past fault in that direction, and
said that he wi he'd to apologize, then and
there, to any whom he had addressed with
profane expressions that he desired to correct
the fault, and to see it corrected in the regis
ment; that he wished to make himself an ex-
ample for his men, desiring that they should
initiate what they saw in him worthy of imi-
tation, and that they should avoid whatever
was unwcrthy."
This is a specimen of the higher order of
couraSe-the moral And where this is strong
the ott er will not fail. We revere the moral
courage of the man who, occupying such
official station dareS, upon clear perception
of moral right aud Christian propriety, to step
out before the host Of his command, and
pledge himself to the practice of it. And how
grateful to parents and wives W ho have sons
and husbands in the army Is the consideration
that they are under the supervision of CONS
manders of refined moral principle, who will
do what they TO make the camp at the
same time power for the country's rescue
and school Q! LIES true virtues.

The recent victory in Arkansas, which re-
suited in the capture of the three forts at St.

consisting of every descrip ion of contraband
Of war. including gunpowder, intended for the
comfort and use IF the rebels. These supplies
were all entered at Nassau, under the general
description Of assorted merchandise al
though, no doubt the English Custom House
officials were well aware Of their real charac-
ter and destination. The foreign vessels at
Nassau hailed from Liverpool, Havre, Var
mouth, Madeira, Bermuda, New forndland and
theport came mostly from Charlesto6ni ana ID
wilmington, with cotton, rice and turpentine.
lie English steamer Thistle, which was lately
overhauled by the Tuscarora, off Madeira, had
arrived at Nassau with her valuable assorted
cargo. The Governor Of the Bahamas had
published portion Of the official correspon-
dence between Secretary Chase and Collector
Barney, relative to the late search of the Bri-
