SENATOR B. H. HILL, OF Ga, AND THE
PRINTERS letter lately published,
Senator Hill, of Ga, among other things,
pitches into the printing offices in the Con
federacy for having more employees than
is necessary to carry on their business, or
that the law contemplates that they should
have. This is an egregious error, and does
great injustice to the proprletors OF Jour-
mails, and casts gratuitous slur upon tt the
patriotism of printers, as, class. The
truth is, there are less printers and EN-
ployces at the business throughout the
Confederacy, by at least two-thirds, than
there were- before the war; and no one
will deny the fact, who has taken any
pains to inform himself, that the work re-
auired to be done Ivy printing offices has
been quadrupled since the war commene enc
ed. Look, for instance, at the vast and
varied amount of government work now

P1fatcal EXPLOITS on James River.
EFORTREss MONROE, Dec. 7.-Durfug the
piIatical capture of the tug Lizzie Freeman
while anchored off the mouth OF Warwick
river, as heretofore reported, on Monday night,
the mate of the tug, Mr.. William Spiel, was
severely wounded in the shoulder, and one OF
the colored soldiers acting guard on the
barge Zimmerman, which the tug had in tow,
was shot down in cold blood, and two others
dangerously wounded, although they offered
no resistance The passengers and crew OF
both the tug and schoonrs were robbed OF their
clothing and valuables, and confined IN the
hold of the barge with the matches Gle I'D down
for several hours. The steamer Matilo 1, pass
ing the spot next morning, released them from
their unpleasant situation, and conveyed them
to Norfolk, Va.
The steamer Wyoming, which arrived her
last night at a la.e hour, reported having see

the rebels had made another capture, and de-
stroyed the steamer Patuxent with a tow of
