Letter from 'FOgy, atJamestOEn,


JAMESTOWN, Aug. sth, 1864,
EDITOR SENTINEL
Jamestown is again quiet and business
is transacted at our stores and workshops
With the same sang froid as when cotton
was ten cents per pound, and coffee an su-
gar we're Injuries Of modest pEiee. Even
the poor peace man, whose antutored mind
sees Lee in Washington and niggers In
the wind 'iWhOse soul proud patriotism
ne'er- taught to stray, as far as human
rights or traitors sWaya-eVen he imbihss
the "Ardent" as Of yore, forgetting for
The moment that the Whisksy tax strength
sus the ''7yraet LtacoIa' in his prosecu-
tiOn of this "Cruel war, to set the mig
gers free, and bring 'em here amongst US"
Notwithstanding all this there IS a mark
ed change in the manners and; ;eustOms Of
society. Men walk about our streets with
quick oouyulsige steps. They look back
and start spasmodieaIly, as if followed by
some dreaded evil which they wish to shun.
The average length Of the human. ooun-
tenanee has suddenly increased full ten
per cent, If you meet a friend and aceost
him With fheusual customary salutation, as,
lhoR do you do BIr. Snith2F Instead Of ex-
tending his hand and euquiring after yOur
health, be replies in language something
like this I'll give five hundred dollars for
a substitute. You pass on and meet an
other apparently absorbed in deep thought.
You aOoosthim thus, ''goOd morning Mr..
Jones'" Slowly and sadly be raises bis
eyes from The ground, and without a look
Of recognition he brings his right fist
down foreibly in The palm Of his left
hand and exclaims, in tones Of awful en-
phasis, "I am good for one hundred dollars
to fIl up our Township squota.'' The draft
is the all absorbing theme. True it IS not
here yet, but it is so near that anybody
but a veteran or an Alien can see. it in the
distance; and distance" don't lend en-
to the view.
