Editor of the Register:-I propose to de-
scribe some of the peculiartles OF iox we
have out here in Linceln Township, Marion
county. You know there are two species
of fox, the red and the gray, but the fox l
propose to describe belongs to neither the
red nor gray species, but is black, and, OF
course, is. not native OF this State lie
stands erect like a man, having but two legs,
still Fox is his name You are aware that
the fox is reckoned to possess good deal
of cunning and sagscity, at least the powers
that be thought SO, for they appointed this
same Fox to arrange our districts into town
ships. Well. in the meantime, this Fox
conceived the IDEA that bv striking OH IN
fone section of the district and adding tom
another, he could get township, nsJorl
~ Of which would be the Simon pure, and
be would be one Of the Justices. All things
being now property disposed, the election

es were regularly upon the track as canon
dates. The first day passed, and opinion
said the black fox was beaten. What now
is to be done 2 said ,the,fox.l We will let
the Opposition quietly retire and count the
polls tonight, and if am found wanting,
We wilrdeclare the polls open in the morn
ing, but in the meantime will rally. Wen,
as this fox willed, so it was done; of went
the fox and being long winded, run long
and d'well The second day passed and still
the red and gray foxes were ahead. The
third day passed and the result was the
same. But it was whispered that one Of the
candidates had treated on election day and
thereby had forfeited his election. Now,
says the black fox, have got you, you have
treated on election day. I'll be commission
ed, I'll be commissioned, amt | cunning
fox But, alas, for poor Fox. his cunning
failed again, his plea was unheeded, and be

to bis mother country, Africa. Being beaten
BY the red and gray fox, he has gone to try
his luck in s,n blacksmith shop, d.

'Editor offhs Regi$ter:-As the papers say,
desertions are becoming alarmingly frequent; !;
but who can blame the men? F1 We volup-
teered to serve six months, and on the 10th
day OF this month our term of service -ex
pired, but the Government, or some of the
public functionares, refused to discharge
us. and the result is, the men are leaving
in SQUADS of three and four daily. Major
HowEs (sugar, we call him, because of him
selling barrel of sugar that belonged to
us, J tells us that our term of service has just
commenced. Why it is Iaon't know, for
we were mustered into the service Of the
United States by Capt. THORPE, on the 10th
day of July, 1868, to "serve six months un-
less sooner discharged The six months
have expired, but still we are told that We
will have to serve until the 22d of June. -
A greater portion of the men are desirous OF
rer e alisting, in order to get the large boun
ties the government is now paying, but by
the time we are discharged the payment of
such bounties will be stopped. We all
have chance in the lottery that is about
to be drawn, and ! suppose we will all draw
a musket, accoutrement, &C., but will get
no bounty. 2Ee I suppose you will say that we
can re-enlist in the regiment we are now in,
but the 4th VIVA Cavalry is ''played out"
Ii, should never have been recruited. A
great many of the men had re enlisted for
three years, but on being told they would
have to stay six months more, withdrew
their names, st715 q.
Now this>is interfering with recruiting to
great extent, and should be brought be
fore the proper au horities. If soldiers are
allowed to be humbugged by officers-who
do not expect another commission after the
six months expires-West Virginia will not
be able to fill her quota without draft
Now, as said before, great many Of US
want to enter the service again, but If we
are retained until the 22d of June, it will
be impossible to do so unless we are drafted.
If we had been discharged when our time
pired, we would have done great deal to-
wards filling the quota Of Ohio County, but
| suppose we will have to submit to the
disgrace of draft, for the men will become
disrusted with the courseithat is now pur-
sued by the officials. .-.-.....-.
Capt. Sbanley's commission expires on
the 4th day of February, and he Is anxious
to be discharged in order to recruit com
PAW for the three years service; and ne
can recruit company in one.half the time
that any other officer in the regiment can,
for he is highly popular with his men. ihe
Hest Va. State journal in speaking OF him,
saws: "No man, we are safe in saying, IS
more beloved and respected by his men than
he; and, in point of military bearing, has
few superors." And the Journal is right.
He is beloved and respected by his men
and will fight With Capt, Stanley at our
mead, and good horses under us, we will es-
tabl sh name for ourselves that any COM
pany might be proud Of Yours,

The Prince and Princess immediately
proceeded to the lake, where they were met
on the ice by about forty ladies and gentle.
men, many of the gentlemen belonging to
the London skating club. Two sidts were
chosen for the game Of hockey, those on
the Princes side being distinguished by a
white ribbon OH the left arm. The game
was kept up with great animation until Z
o'clock, when the Prince and the players
repaired to the Fishing Temple, where they
partook of sumptuous luncheon. They
afterwards repaired to the lake and resum-
ed the game, which was kept upuntil quar-

Frogmore-
His Royal Highness proved himsefa first
rate skater and player, being as active with
his hockey stick as he was on his skates,

in the game, and was occasionally driven
about in Sledge. The Princess left Vir-
