ages sustained by the laying out of road, (sec. 3d.
chap 10, f. S. persons who not freeholders are
sum noned to make the apprsal, such mistake does

@ The parties interested having had due notice of
the time and place of striking tn, jury, and hav-
ing ia lied to be present and obet persons named in
the Justices list on the ground that they We're not

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July %. 1864

Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, July %, 1864
To Eight Young Ladies, residing in Illinois,
Indiana, and Michigan
Ladies, permit me to address few lines
to you through the TRIBUNE, in regard to
correspondence" with soldiers and officers
serving in the army of our country. We.
the officers and soldiers of the army, need
and deserve the sympathy and counsel of our
mothers, wives, sisters and lady acquain-
tances from the dear homes we have left be-
hind. From these, letters are always ac-
ceptable, and are read with deep interest,
and there is always deep feeling of respect
for the writers, and the dear old homes
whence they come. There is no levity or
expression of vulgar thought, or lewd allu-
| slons to the writers of them-holy home
thoughts of the dear ones we loved so well /:
and often have | seen the bronzed face of the
veteran, as we'll as the fair cheek of the
young recruit, flushed with manly pride, or
over them flowing tears that spoke louder
than words of true hearts and Brace men
Not so when your cold insipid and stale let
tiers are received. There is generally a shout
of derision from many voices as your care
| fully written nonsense is retailed out to a
|
gro servant; and could you hear the vulgar
wit and coarse expressions over your letters,
and at your expense, think. ladies, you
would answer no more "Wanted, correspon-
dence, for mutual cultivation l trust, ladies,
that this article may be Of service to you, in
asmuch as it will urge you to write only to
those whom you know and you may put it
down for fact that any soldier or officer ad-
vertising for lady correspondence, does so
for no honorable or noble purpose Ninety
nine out Of every hundred letters received
by officers and soldiers are treated with COLI
tempt and derision. Thus you see that your
tender illusions, gushing out fowry and
sentimental platitudes, are used to your
disadvantage and injury. In many cases tn
officer or soldier takes pains to ascertain your
true name, and then your letters not only
reflect to your disadvantage, but bring dis
grace to your friends. l know of one young
lady who is the laughing stock of a whole
regiment, and many Of them are OF were
friends and neighbors of hers, not two years
ago. Her fair name and character are blight
ed, and one who has counted ON her being
something more than friend to him in the
future, has cast her aside, and her letters Of
truth to him are unanswered, or returned,
unopened. Ladies' good bye, Learn from
this to do better. Write to your known and
tried soldier friends and relatives, and none
other.
am, ladies, your friend and we'll -wisher,
