The following extracts from private letters
give some additional items Of interest on the recent
naval expedition against Japan:
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-01-01
Gen. Averill,s Raid.

Gen. AvERILL's raid, of which we published
an account on Sunday morning, was one of the
most brilliant exploits of the whole war. The
destruction OF depots containing 20, 600 barrels
offour, 10000 bushels Of wheat, 100, 900 BUSH
els OF sheled corn, so, 900 bushels of oats. 600
barrels OF meat, 1000 sacks of salt several
cords OF leather, &C., is inhicting az amount of
damage on the Confederacy, reduced as it is
Tor supplies, that is almost incalculable, The
last Richmond market report we have
seen quoted flour at 800 per barrel for ST.
perhne, and $110 for extra. Taking the first
named price and the enemy suffers loss Of
$4,000 600 in flour alone. Wheat was quoted
at $l5 per bushel-the loss in wheat thus being
$3.50, 900. Corn was $12 per bushel-the loss
in this article, then, being $780, OO Salt
sold at forty cents per pound, or about $50 Der
sack-$S0, 900 loss in salt. Oats were rated at
So per bushel, and fifty thousand bushels
would be $3.50, 900. In these five items alone
the Cenfederacy, at ruling rates, loses So $780,
0O0, an amount to be more than doubled when
we take in the destruction of other articles of
commerce, railroad track, cars, &c.
Oeh. aFEhlLL STRUCK point considerably
below the parallel on which Richmond is Sit
uated, His path lay through the most rugged
and mountainous part OF the Old Dominion, n
region filled with difficult ridges and Valleys
veined with numberless unbridged streams. In
stead of striking at the Virginia Central rail,
road, our cavalry has gone some seventy miles
beyond, and south of a line drawn westward
from the lowest point swept by the James
river, breaking the Virginia and Tennessee
railroad at Salem, in Roanoke county, which
forms portion of the Great Valley of Virginia,
situated between the Blue Ridge on the south
east and another ridge of the Alleghanies on
the northwest Salem is the county seat of
Roanoke county, situated one hundred and
seventy-eight miles west of Richmond, and
sixty from Lynchburg.
The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1864-01-01
Advice to Rebels.

In the course Of an article opposing the
Presidents amnesty proclamation in con-
nection with the alleged Union movement
in North Carolina, the Chicago Times
says:
Perhaps the South will consent to these
terms. If she does the degradation they offer
will not be half as severe as should be inflicted
upon people who could accept that degrade
ton. If she does, she is not fit to be in the
Union upon terms of equality with other States,
or to exercise any political privilege of any
name or nature. If she does her people should
be compelled to change situations with their
slaves, and governed only by the overseer's
lash. No true American could propose such
degradation to fellow-citizens, and the fact that
they have been made is proof that their author
is either insane with tanaticism or traitor who
glories in his cOuntry's shame. If the Confed-
crates are not dogs, they will free, arm and
marshal their slaves for conflict by offering
them still greater brides than are offered them
by the abolitionists, before they will think of
submission to the Presidents terms.
We are told that under LINCoLN's des-
potism ''free speech" has been strangled
The above is a sample Of the remnant that
yet remains.

tents and subsistence of a cheap ration by
the government, but are in all other things in
extreme destitution. Their clothing, in per-
haps the case of fourth of this number, is but
one single worn and scanty garment Many
children are wrapped night and day in tattered
blankets as their sole apparel. But few of
all these people have had any change of raj
ment since, in the midsummer or earlier they
came from the abandoned plantations of their
masters. Multitudes of them have no beds or
bedding-the clayey earth the resting place of
women and babes through these stormy winter
months. They live Of necessity in extreme
thiness and are afflicted with all fatal diseases.
Medical attendance and supplies are very mad
equate. They cannot during this winter be
disposed to labor and self support, and COM
pensated labor cannot be procured for them in
the camps. They cannot, in their present con-
ditiOn, survive the winter. 1t is my conviction
that, unreeved. the half of them will perish
before spring. Last winter, during the months
of February, March and April l buried at
Memphis alone. out of an average Of about four
thousand, twelve hundred of these people, or
from twelve to twenty day. One day we
buried thirty-fve. Those who have been gath
cred into camp this summer are quite as desti-
tute as those who were on our hands last winter.
These people have come in, not as result
of the emancipation proclamation, but as
matter of necessity, from isolated plantations.
They had the choice between coming and stay
ing behind to starve. They came many of
them, to perish of nakedness. Common hui
manity and our national honor demand that
these women and children be saved alive. All
forms of women's and children's clothing are
needed-blankets and bedding-and funds
which can be turned into clothing and material.
A committee in Boston, whose treasurer is
Mr.. Alpheus Hardy, is moving efficiently in the
work. Contributions from Western Massa-
chusetts can flow through this channel and
reach without delay those who are in perishing
need. A committee has been raised in Spring
field, which will, doubtless, take the matter in
hand and move it vigorously.
Yours, truly, in behalf of Gods poorest.

Captain 4th Minnesota Volunteers.
