have postponed their National conven.

on the 4lh Of July, to the goth day Of

be a triumph Of the AntiMc Clellan

is suro they are party without re.

something to turn up, they know no:

Mt. Editor!
Please give space in your col.
umns for the following little incident,
which occurred during our late cxpedi.
lion up Red river. As the advance Of
our division the Sd Of the 18th Army
corps were marching on Natchitochez
they were approached by two men,
who from their appearance, we're At 6rst
supposed to be rebel desertcrs, but upon
. moro intimate acquaintance they
pro, ed to be E. Rushton and l.. NJ.
Town Of Co. B 10th regiment Iowa
volunteers. We su,n up their history
IS follows: They we're captured on the
10th Of September last At or near the
the place Morganzis, La, and were
taken to Tyler, Texas, whore they re.
manned short time and then were mar.
ched to Shreveport, on Red river,
where they remained through the Win.
ter suffering for the want Of clothing
and blankets, having been robbed Of
all their possessions BY the thieving
imps who captured them. They were
kept short time ct Greenwood small
town some three miles from the Texas
line where they made their escape on
the night Of the Goth Of March. The
rebels becoming alarmed At the near
approach Of Stecle's cavalry, lad or.
dered that al the Union prisoners be
hurried off again 10 Tyler. They
thought that they had travelled far
enough At Confederate expenses and
would try to walk about little on their
own hook To attempt to escape in
such country. 90 far from the Union
lines required good deal Of courage,
but they were equal to tho task. The
manner adopted to carry out their pur
pose was rather . novel one indeed.
They dug hole in the ground large
enough to hold them and crawled in
and we're covered up by comrade who
did not feel strong enough TO attempt to
escape with them. Here they remain
ed until the butternuts had left the
the place. When they came out Of thei-
hiding place and started for Alexandra
whore they we're saved much trouble
by meeting orr advance as above
stated. They met With many narrow
escapes from falling into the rebels
hands again, but in this case IS in many
others, fortune favored the b, ave and
they are now in the enjoyment Of Ii.
berty with the Union army. under
stand they had valuable information to
communicate to headquarters. BY
their request they have been assigned
to duty IS provost guards in the Sd ii.
vision Of tho 18th corps.

JASPER CouSrY.-Since the appear
ance in our columns Of on item about
tho shooting Of Simon Leo, an alleged
dcserter from the Gray Beard Regiment
we have obtained from what we regard
as reliable source the particulars Of
tho affair which SCENE to require more
than mere news item statement. II
II stated that Lee is feeble old man,
and not being successful in his applics-
ton for furlough, went home without
one, intending to return to bis regiment
when he gps we'll. T~omen, tempted
by the standing reward for the arrest
Of deserters, went TO the old man'e
house for the purpose Of Selling him.
He fod to the cellar as they entered,
Selling . gun, which his family say was
net loaded. One Of the men immedi.
a,ely drew . revolver and firing. shot
the old man in the hand, cutting of
two fingers. He Immediately offered
to surrender, but not withstanding his
entrcaties, two more shots were fred,
one slightly cutting the flesh across the
stomach, the other lodged a ball in his
spinal column. producing paralysis Of
the lower extremit,es. Disregarding
the intense suffarinss Of the old man
and the tears Of his family, he was put
into a carriage, every motion Of which
added to HE pain, and carried twelve
miles to Newton. We hope for the
sake Of humanity that the report As Civ.
en- to us a. even modified in this item
is exaggerated. But il true, t:'ese mer
deserve the severest punishment. The
lives and limbs Of our citizeDa are MOI
to be treated IS Of no consequences, and
even ii Lee vas deserteT it gave thu
men no right to act aside the laws Of
humanity. As is proper the civil a"
thorities of the county are now inves
tigating the matter, and no doubt ex
iste but that stric, and impartial justice
will be done.-Dav. Gaz.
| We learn since the above was put IL
type that Lee has died and the rartiel
are turned over to Court.

The President on the End OF the
VNAr.

war;
At the close Of his brief speech at the
Philadelphia Sanitary Fair, President
Lincoln thus gave his views on the
tend Of the war :"
ut is pertinent question often asked
in the mind privately, and from one 10
the other, when is the war to end ?
Surely feel as deep an interest in this
question as any other can, but do not
wish to rame day, or month, or a
year when it is to ond. I do not wish
to run any risk Of seeing the time come,
without our being ready fo' the end,
and for fear disappointment, because
the time had come and not the end.
We accepted this war for an object,
worthy object, and the war will end
whom that object is attained. Under
God, l hope it never will until that
time. [Great cheering.l Speaking Of
the present campaign, Gen. Grant is re-.
ported to have said, II am going
through on this line if it takes all sum-
mer." [Cheers This war has taken
three years; it was begun or accepted
upon the line Of restoring the national
authority over the national domain,
and for the American people, as far as
my knowledge enables me TO speak, l
say We are going through on this line,
lift takes three years more. Cheers.
My friends, did not know but that I
might be called upon 20 say few
words before l got away from here, but
I did not know it was coming here.
laughter have never been in the
habit Of making predictions in regard
to the war, but am almost tempted to
make one. II were TO hazard it, it is
this That Grant is this evening, with
Gen Meade and Gen. Hancock Of
Pennsylvania, and the brave officers
and soldiers with him, in position
from whence he will never be disloged
until Richmond is taken loud cheering |
AMI have but one single proposition to
put now, and perhaps, can bee. put it
in form Of an interrogative. If shall
discover that Gen. Grant and the noble
officers and men under him can be
greatly facilitated in their work by a
sudden pouring forward Of men and
assistance, will you give them to me ?
[Cries of "yes."] Then, l say, stand
ready, for / am watching for the
chance. daughters aud chcsrs.] !
thank you, fentlemcn."
The President having concluded,
various sentiments were given aud re
ceived with enthusiasm.
One gentleman prov osed three cheers
for Col. Bowman, who broke the back
bone Of slavery in Maryland. This was
responded to in the most enthusiastic
manner.
Cheers were given for Gen. Grant,
Sherman, Gen. Hooker, and all the
Generals Of the army.
Mr.. Lincoln advanced . step, and
order beng quickly restored, he said,
"Gen.lemen, cheer for the army and
the navy, the soldiers and the sailors"
This was responded to with patriotic
enthusiasm.
