worthy of note for the information of the
people at home, and in commendation of
the officers and soldiers. On the part Of
officers have been received in the most

the soldiers. 1t is impossible to give you
an adequate idea of an audience COMPOSED

ton now records with my experience in

interested assembly, and the most highly
appreciative of any subject Of truth, duty
and benevolence that may be presented to
them.

ISOLATION in each county where I have
been and organized for canvass in favor
of the Orphans Home. The Home for
Orphans made such by our campaigns and
battles assumes in the army an importance
which should command the attention of
the people at home toa greater extent than
it has heretofore done; and the liberality
of the soldiers is such as should raise the

MR.. Q. DUNHAN:-T will pen you few

To-day the news came to this detach-
ment of the nomination OF Lincoln. The
tag was run up, and tie soldiers marched
from camp to camp, cheering for Old Abe
and the Union. All the crv here among
the soldiers Is ABOUT the next November

cruel war iscrnshed and every rebel throws
down his gun and comes under our civil

II you publish this in your paper, the
copperheads will say this il an Abolition

That ls, that can find negroes here tnat

our soldiers, and if anything, better. They
fought as well as men could fight on Saline

and captured two guns, and fought TIL al

fought with the butts Of their muskets anu
the bayonets. When they charged on the
battery, rebel captain was Just ready 70

~ The rebel who ofiiciates over the
bankrupt exchequer Of the Dixie traitors,
Mr.. Memminger, is about to resign. So it
was announced to the lower debating club
which was lately in session at Richmond,
on the 18th of June. It seems that the fell
low has concluded that it is useless for
him to supervise an empty treasury. We
think he il about right. If there were any
money in it, he would undoubtedly hold
on. A South Carolina "Cavalier" was
never known to stop sucking while there
remained drop of milk in the treasury
teat. Memminger is the latest proof.

Scarce can our fields, such crowds at Tyburn die
With hemp the gallows and the fleet supply.
So said or sung an English poet of for
mer day. We are beginning to fear that
we shall be compelled to utter a similar
strain. At all events, hemp has gone up
to an unprecedented price, while as yet few
of the traitors have met with their just re-
ward. The wants of our fleets, in conjunc-
ton with the difficulty Of production in
Missouri and Kentucky where it mostly
grows, have made hemp scarce and high.
What shall we do for the article when it
becomes necessary to use such quantities
Of it to hang the leading villains who have
plunged our country into this causeless
and bloody civil war? That is what trou-
bles us. We hope the supply will not be
wholly exhausted. We should be sorry to
have the scamps escape merely because
hemp cannot be found for their hanging.

Col. Wolford, ex- Colonel, we should
say, the man who was dismissed the SER
vice for his reasonable speech at Lexing-
ton, KY, was arrested at Lebanon in that
State, and taken to Louisville, on the 9th,
by order Of Gen. Burbridge. So says a
dispatch from Louisville of that date. 1t
has been intimated that this fellow was
not so much opposed to Morgan's late raid
as he ought to have been-that he was a
party to it and was at work to make sue
cess Of it. But We are not posted on what
he has done of late. His speeches, howev-
er, could only come from a determined
traitor. We suspect that Gen. Burbridge
has smoked him out and that the ex-Col-

what troubles US is the fact that the Herald

A-Tom. Hyer, the pugilist, for many
years the champion Of the prize ring in this
country, died at his residence in New
York, on the 18th of June. His death
seems to have been somewhat sudden,
though his health had been failing for sew
eral years past. He went home late on the
night Of the Goth, complained of being un-
well, grew rapidly worse, and died about
six o'clock next morning.
