Aavc We captured an army Of the South?
Have we rendered any considerable force

Upon what then do we conclude the Con-

see It. Tie raids of Sherman We cannot

whole result is yet to be determined by
an awful battle, or by o series Of the most

legitimate military facts and movements
Of our armies in the fold. We don't BY

RAJ William PAGER, of Queen Annes
county, Maryland, and the d%escendent
of an aristocratic and Revolutionary fami-
ly, is a human monster, whom avarice
and this War have brought to the public
surface 1t appears that his two brothers
married respectable but not aristocratic
women of their own vicinage, to the
displeasure of their farther. The elder,
John, ives drowned off Kent Island in the
terrible Winter of 1868. The youngest,
Edward. died more recently, leaving sew
eral children /; one Of whom entered the
Southern army. VIM PAGER is the trustee
Of the property Of these children, and
went himself to Baltimore and procured
the coD6scation of the portion belonging
to the rebel soldier, and when it was sold,
bid it off at a merely nominal value. This
act was in itself a violation of law, as IN
Maryland no trustee is allowed to pur-
chase property held by himself in trust
The ~avarice of this man drove him to u
still greater violation of, law. Accom-.
panied by his two sons. whose mental
imbecility is we'll known, he drove to the
house of his nephew John PAGER, who
with his maternal uncle, Mr.. Jones, wa;
engaged in putting up a fence about a
portion Of the confscated property, and
ordered him off. John PAGER and Mr.
Jones refused to leave. VIM. PAGER ther
kills one of them, and one of his sons thu
other After the murder was committed
VIM. PAGER gave his own loaded gun Il
TO one Of his idiOtic sons, and took from
him his gun, which was, loaded. Tn,
