EDiToR CLARION: A leading and lengthy
editorial in the Mississippian Of yesterday,
headed, The Case of Theodore G. Lyon" !"
makes quite number of assertions which
are SO much at variance with the opinions
OF many in this community that desire,
through your columns, TO ask the editor
Of that paper few questions, The object
OF which is 10 get at truth. lie says,
g the paper alluded to in his Card was
published last fall, in the columns of the
Southern Republic, at Columbus, Miss,
for which lie was cashiered, conscribed
and sent to the 43th Mississippi regiment
in Virginia" This isan important fact
and one which is unknown to our citizens.
Can the editor of tha Mississippan tell
how he arrived at it? Again, he says.
z Dir. Lyon considered it incompatible
with his high calling tomeddle in politi
Cal aff',rs, and the letter was turned over
to his son, who rerlied to it," From
whom did the editor learn that DR.. Lyon
considered it incompatible with his high
calling to meddle in political affairs.
Again, he says, IF this letter, written
by an inexperienced youth, &C." from
whom did the editor learn that this letter
scas wriaen by ian Inexperienced youth"
Again, he says, Lyon has given unmis-
taxable proof Of his courage and devotion
to the South in the feld,D Will the ed
itor give us that unmistakable proof"
viii the editor give us q statement Of the
action of the President and Secretary Of
War upon review of the finding Of the
Court Martial. Finally, how does he
know that the harsh resolutions of the
meeting of The 18th had no effect with
the authorities at Richmond"

ExTRAoRDINARY ToRPEDo DoING.-The
State journal, published at Goldsboro' N.
o., relates the following in its issue of
Friday:
We learn from we'll Informed cores
pondent that on Friday last the Yankees
at Newbern sent out to Bachelors Creek
the Neuse, at Spring Garden, ten miles
from Newbern, to guard against any Re-
bel gunboats likely to be sent down upon
them. At this point they were removed
from the cars TO the Commissary building
Three of them had been safely deposited,
but the fourth, on entering the building.
was struck so violently thatthe machine"
exploded. The explosion 'set off, the
other three, and, as may be supposed,
the four ''set off, the building and its
contents at a rapid rate through the air.
One hundred men, including twenty
negroes, were within range" of the mis-
siles, of whom sixty three were instantly
killed, the rest wounded. Amongst the
killed is a notorious Yank ee villain, Lieut..
Willis. We learn, vlso, that Hezekiah
Davis, an old .ci,izen. of that nei shbJr-
hood, was present and got killed.
At the scene of the disaster it is said the
Yankees had erected tall tower or look
out, in the top of which a Yankee was.at
the time posted. The tower suddenly
disappeared, and if the sentinel on that
tower hes yet been found, our informant
has not heard OF it.
The explosion was heard twenty miles,
and created great CONSERVATION in the
garrison at Newbern. The long roll was
beaten, signal guns were fred, and every
preparation was made quickly to meet the
Rebels. Such scene of wild confusion
is said to have existed in the good old
town as has never been exceeded, except
in the immediate vicinity of the explo-
sion.
We regret that the whole internal race
was not within easy range OF the torpe-
It is estimated that 10000 Yankees OF
all grades, nations and colors-excepting
gentlemen--have been buried in North
Mississippi and the adjaceut portions OF
Tennessee and Alabama, since the open
ing Of their war for ''Te-occuprt on OF the
South.

BRANDON, June ii, 1864.
Mr.. CooPER-My attention has been
called to an article in your issue of the
-, entitled The case of Theodoric &.
Lyon" in which it pleased you to espouse
the cause OF the said Lyon to certain
extent, and to animadvert very severely
upon the conduct Of the 48th regiment,
in which organization have the honor
to be an officer. do not question your
right to defend Mr.. Lyon, but l must pro-
test against your structures upon my regi-
nent, as it is perfectly evident that you
are, 10 great extent, unacquainted with
the facts and merits Of the case in ques-
tion.
When Lyon Joined the regiment, he
was treated with great courtesy and kind
ness. for one, being an old schoolmate,
felt sympathy for him, and thought he
had been treated with unnecessary sever
ity. During his connection with the regi-
ment, he did not do days duty, though
the Mine Run affair afforded him a
fine opportunity to redeem his name.
Every facility was afforded him to have
his case rescinded, and every application
made by him was approved by the COM
mander OF the regiment. In the face of
this he publishes his card to Mr. Wright,
and endeayors to put upon the public his
own heresies as the opinion entertained
by the 48th, plainly and unequivocally
stating that the voice Of the regiment
was for reconstruction and peace.
Was it not natural, under these crcum-
stances, that these men who, for four
years, have breasted the storm of war,
and whose front bears the scars of twenty
battles; was it not right and proper for
them TO refute these charges You seem
TO doubt that the resolutions as adopted,
were the exponents of the sentiment of
the regiment. In this you are mistaken.
The whole regiment, officers and men,
were present, and the resolutions are the
voices of the non-commissioned officers
and priyates. You also seem to think
that the resolutions were in b I'd taste and
uncalled for Permit me to tell you that
your structures would come with better
grace from one, who, having been a sol
dier, feels a soldiers pride in defending
his good name. For nearly four years
have been connected with the 48th regi-
known as the I'd Battalion
have seen its men barefooted and hun
cry, and clothed in rags, standing as part
Of that guard between your home and
the foe. | have seen the forms of my
gallant boys lying stark and cold on every
feld Of the war. From Williamsburg and
Seven Pines to the dark and bloody Will
lerness. In common with their brothers
n-arms, they are animated with devo-
lion that knows no decrease-an indom-
table valor which knows no defeat. They
are dear to my heart, and cannot allow
those who know nothing practically of
The war or them to deface their fair names.
They have gwen up all, and with their
backs totheir dasolated homes, and their
ACE TO the foe, they will fight on until
peace and liberty return TO bless the land.
