have the impudence to say to him

ing him. that there is no hopes of a
speedy termination of this war, until
the present Administration ceases to

that the South cannot he conquered,

DEAR SrR:--After such along de-
lay, 50 long perhaps that you have
come to the conclusion that 1 was
not going to write to you, but let that
be as it may the receptions of this
will stop all doubt on that subject.
You requested me to ascertain il

thing that 1 could to get VOC cred ted

name to the Provost Marshal, com
pany and regiment, certified to by

such was the fact, and received in
answer that you must send a certifi
cate from your captain, before he
could allow you any credit. So il
appears that it will be very doubtful
OF you getting a bounty from the
State OF Ohio. You express a wish
thar the war was over, but sir. Won
are aware before this that our wishes.
yes indeed the wishes of all o, cd
and patriotic citizens who love the
Union more than the negro, will not
he respected by Abe Lincoln. The
prospect is very good for the war to
last four years longer. Their is in
my opinion only one thing that will
stop the war, and that Is the erecogui-
ton OF the Confederacy by the great
powers of Europe. Whether they
will do so or not will not venture
to say. Our future prospects are
gloomy in the extreme. Alread your
taxes are more than double with q
national debt of 5000, 100000 of
dollars hanging over us and increas
ing at the rate of three millions per
day. Should the war continue for
four years longer, which in all prob
ability it will, the debt will be so
great that it will be an imposslbility
for the people to pay their taxes.
then a revolution will follow, and
with it anarchy and desolation, will
sweep over the land until our once
happy and prosperous country will
be as naught.
We have our old fashioned winters
here again, rain, rain, rain, then for
a day or two very cold, then rain,
rain, rain again and you may guess
that we have some mud too, every
thing in and about Rodney is after
the old fashion. / am well at the
present, and hope that this letter will
reach you in the same condition,
please write how you like soldering
and pardon me for neglectlng to
write for so long. Please accept nv
good wishes that you may survive
this horrible war.

and relative.

How TO CHEAT SUTLERs.-Some o.
the boys of an Ohio battery wanted
to celebrate a recent victory in q
spirited manner. but the paymaster
had not been around recently, and
the sutler would not trust them for
whisky. So they rugged out one OF
their number with two canteens, one
of which was filed with water, SO
''doctored" with coffee as to resem
bic in color the desired liquor. He
went to the sutler, had the empty can
teen filed, and wished to be trusted.
The sutler refused, when the soldier
passed to him the other canteen,
Indignantly telling him to keep his
bad whisky and the sutler, CAD to
get rid of such a customer, without
money, poured the water into the
whisky barrel, and bid him begone.
The boys had fine spree that night,
and not the least of this pleasure
arose from the manner in which the
sutler was sold.-BostoS Tfacellsr.
