Soldiers Boards of Relief.

An, important order appears in our col.
ums this morning, (says the Southern
Guardian, of the 25th,) issued from-the
Office of the. State Auditor, James Tupper,
Esq. It refers to. the Soldiers Boards Of
Relief and the special and exclusive atten-
tion of each member is invoked to the du-
ties now devolving upon them. These du.
are 80 important that the Executive has
thought fit to grant details from, military
service to those charged with them, in or.
der that they may be discharged promptly,
energetically and faithfully. The families
of soldiers must be carefully looked after,
and their families should be as dear to the
country in the proportion that the services
of the former are valuable for its protection
aud safety.

5sa- The Lincoln press, is in evident
tribdlation from the reported determine
ton Of the Cohfederatss to employ Africans
in our service, or, as they phrase it, "for
their tFankeeo destruction" bawl out at
the top Of their ithroats that it is evidence
of desperation. IF the arming Of negroes
by the Oonfederates is an evidence Of des-
psration, what is~the arming of them by
the Yankees an evidence Of? They must
have been become desperate long before
we did, for they have been employing them
for years; and some Of their leaders have
openly confessed that, without their aid,
they could not have carried on the war.
