1t might be- proper TO state that the
number of the gallant boys was fifty
eight. They belonged mostly TO the
18th o. vi. Theirs were, However,
representatives from the 9Othahd 4Gth,
and also from the lst o.. c. 1t was
indeed pleasant to sec the brave boys
Ghjoyihg themselves, after enduring
uhGinchingly tho priyatiohs and suff-
Ctings of camp life so long.
Gods blessing and favor was asked
BY Mr.. Henry Leonard of Basil, who
also delivered On address Of welcome
TO the honorcd guests.
We might be guilty ofinjdstice, five
neglected to mention the musical enter
tainment. A choir had been organized
for the occasion, & it sang several pieces
among which might be mentioned the
song which we send along for publica-
ton. 1t gives condensed history Of
the gallant 18th, and in the chorus is
poured forth those feelings, which
none but the patriotic possess. 1t was
composed by a young poet, with whose
writings your rcadersar we'll acquain-
ted, and who, we doubt not, will yet
connect Fairfield county, and the vii.

Melodeon Accomplishments were play
ed by Miss Mary A. Miller, of Balti
more, who also entertained the audi
oncc with several instrumental airs
both before and after dinner, and alsc
in the evening.
After the soldiers had eaten, the ta
J bles were filed three or four times BY
the citizens and still there was abuh
dance of provisions left. 1t was as
certained that the number of citizen
who took dinner, was fully five hun

pleased and satisfied.
In the evening, those who coul
conveniently attend, again filled tn
hall, to listen to impromptu speeche
that might be offered. Several Of tn
veterans gave short accounts of thei
hardships, and others gave amusin
incidents. Several of the citizens er
tertained the audience with shol
speeches. A patriotic poem vas rea
by A. 7. Mason, Esq. of Basil, whic
!, received such a hearty endorsemsr
and so pleased the hearers, that it w;
called and read q second time. Th
. choir sang variety Of songs, som
sentimental, some lively, and som
comic. The entertainment closed b

THEN AND NOW.

On thc'night of Juno LIST, 1868, the
Gazette Office WIS entered by q band
.of Democrats, who virtually destroy
cd the type ofthe Office. Whole fonts
and parts of fonts of type were car
ried out and scattered about the
streets and some Thrown into the, ca
nal, so that even to sell as old metal it
could not be recovered. One ThiNg is
certain, that the damage done was of
such an extent and character as to
compel US for two weeks to issue
half sheets to our subscribers, and Of
tho first one, much Of the. matter was
already set, and being run under the
press, was overlooked by the vandals
of Democracy. The editor of the
Eagle, in his issue of June 4th, com
placcntly summed up "tbc actual loss
to the Office at probably $50 or S25."-
The Eagle, after the attackhpon it by
the soldiers, comes to hand "on time,
and without any visible marks of their
displeasarc on it, yet the editor makes
oath to, damages to theamountof $500
done to his printing establishment on
that occasion. Will no explain the
discrepancy in his estimates of the
value of printing material in June and
january, and why he has becn SO lit
tlo inconvenienccd by his enormous
losses r.e"

Why a scarcity ofmaterIal should
make it necessary to make flag with
ono-half of the stripes blue, we can
not imagine. The flag contained red
enough; it follows then that the ma
terial which could not be procured was
plain white muslin, We didno know
before that the article had at any time
been 80 scarce in tho city. But the

Many Of our readers will recolect a fellow
styling himself "Col Harkins," representing
that he was a refugee from Tennessee and most
intensely loyal-in fact had been robbed of his
property bv the rebels and had been compelled
20 suffer other terrible privauons. This fellow
spoke at many points and behaved insolently, we
may say UNANIMOUSLY, toward those who were un
willing to accept his standard Of loyalty. Prison
BRowSLow in a recent Lumber of the Knoxville
Wing gives the following biographical sketch Of
the impostor and scoundrel:
"CoL HAWKINS "A man calling himself by
the above title is leeturing through Illinois and
Indiana. and representing himself as an associate
Of ours in editing paper, in the rebel Jail; as
belonging to the 81 Tennessee Cavalry; as being
ont after deserters, by appointment of General
ROsecrans. We have been written to from both
of these States for information. We are not dis
posel to iniure this man. but the time has come
when must set him right. Not one of his
statements are true. His name is Butchins, not
Hawkins, and he is Vermont Yankee, and was
imprisoned in Kingston. ten miles west of here,
several years ago, not for his Union sentiments,
but for stealing a box of books. He was SEN
fenced to the pcnitentiary. and was afterwards
got off by the interference of friends. who SYM
pathized with him on the ground of his partial
arrangement. He ought to 60 to work and
quit lying.

to go to Rome for convenience to their supplies,
or 20 prevent desertions.
Between 5000 and 1900 rebel deserters have
come into our lines since the battle OF Missionary
Ridge.
There is not so much alarm at Chattanooga
about the safety OF our troops in the neighbor-
hood of Knoxville as seems to prevail elsewhere,
and many of the published accounts to that
effect are characterized as gross exaggerations
The Secretary OF the Treasury to-day directed
Gen Skinner to pay to all creditors of the Gov
eminent, until further ordered, 5 per cent in legal
tenders. instead of 25 per cent as heretofore.
The remainder is to be paid in certificates of in
debtedness.
Ten million dollars in one and two year 5 per
cent. legal tenders have been sent 10 pay the
Army Of the Cumberland and the same amount
has been sent to New Orleans to pay the army
there.
The War Department has received no addi-
t;onal intelligence to day from Knoxville. The
latest advices represent our forces there in a
critical condition.
