The PRIVATE SoLDIER.-Somebody says,
and we indorse the sentiment, that if there
is a being in the world who is deserving of
private affection and public gratitude, it is
the soldier who marches as private in the
ranks of the army, to fight for his country,
offers his blood and life as sacrifice for the
maintenance of the Union and the Consti-
tuition. And yet how seldom it is that they
get the honor and reward their services en-
title them to. 1t is theprivate who carries
the gun; it is the private who marches on
foot through mud, frost and snow; it is the
private who erects bridges over swift
streams, and rears the lofty Notifications;
and it is the private who, with the bayonet
set, charges on the deadly rifle pits and
against the squared columns of the enemy;
and yet how seldom it is that he receives
the honors and rewards Of his noble con-
duct.

ment.


WASHINGTON, May 22.-Sixty hostages,

the Black river, May 18th. He writes as
follows: This morning bearer of dis
patches from Gen. Banks was received at
Fort De Russey, who says when he left one
gunboat was coming over the falls, and it
was currently believed that all would get
over. He knew nothing more. / have in
formation from a reliable source that the
dam has been completed, and we may soon
expect to hear that all the ironclads are

The Navy Department has also received
communication from the u. s. bark Ethan
Allen, blockading Off Murrell's Inlet, s. c.,
reporting the destruction of valuable salt
works; information being given them by
contrabands of the location of the works,
which were at place called Cane Pitch,
twelve miles from the Inlet. Upon reach
ing the works, an armed crew was sent
ashore who succeeded in destroying them
and firing the buildings. Extensive ar
rangements had been made for extending
the works to double their size.
A communication has also been received
from the Pawnees, which says that an ex-
pedition was sent up st. Johns river, Flor

posed to have crossed at Fort Yates to the
east side of the st. John.
One thousand head of cattle and some
horses and other valuable property were
captured. The expedition had not returned

Our Army Moving Into New Posi-.
ton.

New YORK, May PA Fortress Monroe
dispatch of the 10Th to the Herald, states
that squads of rebel prisoners continue to
arrive in dilapidated condition, who ex-
press hopes that the campaign will be con-
cluded soon to prevent their exchange.
Sheridan's force left HaXall's Landing and
will soon be heard from.
The Herald's correspondent, near Spott-
sylvania, May Dist, 8 A. NJ, says our troops
were moving all night to new position.
This morning the general headquarters are
broken up and nearly the whole army is in
motion. Precisely where our next halting
will be, time alone can determine.
The general expectation is we shall have
hard fighting soon.
Another correspondent says of the fight
on Thursday night, in which the raw heavy
artillery acted so handsomely, says: Our
loss was but half the number originally
stated. A rebel deserter says their loss was
double ours, and represents the enemy as
very much chagrined at their failure to
turn our right. The Ninth corps now oc-
cupies a position in advance OF the two
lines of works held by the enemy, a few
days since, so that our progress, il slow, is
at least sure.

CIRCULAR.
Inasmuch as the impression is afoat that the
commanding General has prohibited mails
to and from this army, lie takes this method
of assuring all officers and men that on the
contrary he encourages by all his influence
and authority, to keep up the most uninter-
rupted correspondence with their families
and friends wherever they may be. Army
corps and division commanders should per-
feet the arrangements to receive and trans
NIT mails, and all chaplains, staff officers,
and captains of companies should assist the
soldiers i'll communicating with their FAM
lilies.
What the commanding General does dis
courage is the maintenance of that class of
men who will not take musket and fight.
But who follow an army to pick news for
sale-speculation in a species OF intOrma-
tion which is dangerous to the army and to
our cause; and who are more used to bolster
up idle and worthless officers than to notice
the hard working and meritorious, whose
mOdestly is generally equal to their courage,
and who scorn to seek the cheap fattery of
the press.
(Signed) w. T. SHERMAN,
Major General.
The above circular Gen. Sherman has
published to his army, and you have his
authority for publishing it.

THE CITY.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Fatal Accident on the @. @. & Q. Rail
rOad-One Man Killed and u
Number wounded.

The first fatal accident which has happen
ed on the Cleveland and Columbus railroad
for several years, occurred to the morning
train going from this city to Cleveland yes
terday. While the train was running at the
ordinary speed between Gilead and Card
ington stations, a defective rail broke, run
ming one of the passenger cars off the track,
upsetting it and breaking the seats and fur
niture to pieces.
Mr.. Dewitt of the well known firm of
Baldwin, Dewitt & Co., manufacturers, of
Cleveland, was instantly killed by the acci-
dent. 1t is supposed that he was looking
out of window at the time, and when the
car rolled over his head was crushed. Mr..
Dewitt was leading and active member of
the State Board of Agriculture, and had
been in this city on business connected with
the Board. He has long been prominently
identified with the agriculture of the State,
and was widely known and respected.
Ten or twelve other passengers were in
jured by the accident, some seriously, Others
slightly. The railroad officers here have
not been furnished with the names, and we
are therefore unable to publish them. The
wounded were taken in charge by the con-
ductor of the train and every possible
means provided for their comfort.

terday afternoon OH the Cleveland and Co.

tutes for conscripted men, who were on their
way to Tod Barracks. One Of them was
observed sitting with his feetsticking out of
the window. Presently he was seen to slide
through the window, feet foremost and
drop to the ground, while the train was
going at the rate of forty-five miles all hour.
Expecting to find the fellow mashed to a
jelly the train was backed up to the spot,
but there was nothing to be seen of the sub
stitute. He had scampered off into the
woods leaving nothing but his tracks and
the impression of his body where he fell to
show that he had touched bottom. One of
the passengers seeing the man slide out of the
window, jumped out OF his seat and ran
across the car to see what became of the
substitute, butin his haste he forgot to raise
the window and plunged his head through
the glass, smashing his hat and cutting his
face severely with the broken glass.
