We are indebted to Col. Milton Wells,
who now commands brigade, composed
of the 10th. 18th and 10th West Virginia
regiments, at Bermuda Hundred, for copy
of the Richmond Enquirer of December 90.
He writes to US that his brigade confrOnts,
curiously enough, the 10th, 18th and16th
Virginia rebel regiments. This we may
say Is an instance of Greek meeting Greek
meeting Virginians. The
Colonel desires that those having friends
in his brigade will direct their letters to the
proper regiment, "3d brigade, lst infantry
division army. Of West Va, defence of Der.
muda Hundred, Va"
The copy of the Enqtayer sent us by the
Colonel is very dingy affair-not much
more than legible, by reason of the poor
paper and the worn out type on which it
is printed. 1t is also half sheet. The
Richmond papers are all printed on half
sheest. For copy of the daily seventy
dollars per year is now charged; for the
semi-weekly, f fly dollars, and for the week
", twenty.f dollars. This is not high
considering thata gold dOllarin Richmond
is worth forty-eight in paper. Three col
umns of the Enquirer nre filed with "per-
sonals." which the New York News is re-
requested to copy, These personals give
information to the people In the North
about their friends in the South, and vice
versa. They contain many sad announce
meuts, and present. a phase of the war that
speaks to US of the thousands of once hap
py hearts and hearths that are now desc
late. Here are one or two specimens:

AsuMMARY of the railroad accidents OF
last year shows that there were more per-
sons killed and wounded than for any single
year since the introduction of railway travel
into this country. One hundred and forty
accidents occurred and 4o4 persons were
killed and 1916 persons injured, very
large increase both upon the accidents and
the casualties of 1868. In that year there
were SO accidents and 264 persons were
killed and GIL injured. This large increase
in accidents and casualties can hardly be
accounted for by the increase in travel,
though in no proceeding year have so
many passengers been transported; but it
is to be remembered that in almost every
case where the cause of an accident has
been investigated, it has been found that
the railroad company was directly respon-
sible and plainly culpable.

quested, If not incompatible with the pub
lie interest, to inform this House how it
has been that our gallant soldiers in the
held have been so long without pay; and
resolved further, that our soldiers ought to
be paid in preference to other officers and
employees of the Government.
Newsfrom the country north of Virginia
is headed in the Enquirer as "NeWs from
the United States"
The following is the latest version we
have seen concerning the wounding of the
inevitable and indestructible Moseby:
This gallant officer, we are glad to learn,
Is still in favorable condition, under the
effects of the severe wound he received
last week in Fauqufer. 1t appears from
authentic accounts which have reached us,
that Colonel Moseby was riding, attended
by only one man, on the RectortoWn turn
pike, about four miles from Upperville, to.
wards place of rendezvous, when he was
met BY smallsquad ofFederals, whom he
supposed to be Confederates, as the enemy
had never dared to- appear in such small
numbers in that vicinity before. He was
soon convinced of his mistake, however,
and retreated fighting, there being some
eight or ten of the enemy, and received a
wound In the breast, which perforated the
left lung. he reached private house
near by. after having been left in sup
posed dying condition by the enemy,
whence he has since been removed to sa-
fer place. is.~
If the Enquirer was curiosity before It
fellinto our hands, ills certainly agreat-
er one now. We find that our SCISSORS
have progressed SO far through the brittle
and discolored sheet, that it resembles
more than anything else, the well ventila-
ted and odorOus rag which that famous
Ethiopian Minstrel, George Christy, first
exhibited on the stageas "the handkerchief
which all four of his forefsthsrs had blowed
on"
Some day, long after "this cruel war is
over" the extracts which we publish this
morning from the columns of the Rich
mond Enquirer, will be read over as curious
mementoes of the great rebellion.

THE Richmond Wing, according to the
dispatches this morning, takes practical
view of the recent rebel talk about becom-
ing vassals of England, and expresses the
opinion that the Yankee monitors would
prove quite too formidable for anything
England could send across the seas. AS
for landing and marching an army to aid
the rebels, the Wing looks upon such talk
as foolishness. Now this is just the place
where what little of sobriety and cool
judgement remaining lin the Oonfederacy
has chance to come in. 1t is verywise
thing on the part of the Wing to thus dispel
this apparently rising delusion in the rebel
mind about foreign help. The Sentinel and
Enquirer, including JEFF. Davis, may pipe
but England and France will never dance.
And just orthe reasons given by the Wing.
England has scarcely experimental as yet
in the building of iron clad vessels and
long ago it was shown by her scientific
men that the Warrior, her principal vessel
of the kind, had no capacity for anything
beyond coast service. AS nation wholly
dependent. upon her navy even for sell
protection, she is the last power that could
afford to risk her interests on the high seas
for aggressive purposes at a time like this
There was no document accompanying the
Presidents message that so interested
and enlisted the attention of the London
Times as the report of the Secretary of the
NaVy-especially his disclosure of the i'm
mense increase in our iron clads and the
calibre of their guns. The effect on the
Times was plainly one of uneasy wonder
ment. OF all things John Bull breads to
hear of big ships with bigger guns than
his own. 1t has very modifying effect on
his believing. The list Of our six hundred
and seventy one vessels with their 4,6lO
guns and $1,000 men, will be quite equal
In its effect to the traditional horseshoe,
and will serve to keep our waters clear of
British witches in theshape of men Of war.
England had enough of our privateers in
the war of 1912, and she knows our des.
tructive capacity IN that way now. She
will not rashly invite the letting
slip of such ''dogs of war" again. There
would be such ahavociu her merchant ma
rine as the world never saw. This consid-
GRAFTON will keep England out of our trou-
bles, and her staying out is a guarantee
that France will never step in. The Rich
mond Wing therefore sees the point dis
tinctly when it pooh poohs the idea of the
Confederacy putting itself under the pro-
tectorate of Euglsud.

Our contemporaries have mostly begun
the new year with an advance in their
publishing and advertising rates. This is
in consequence of the steady advance ia
their expenses in paper. Pa
per has risen little by little to such .
height as to now seriously threaten the
existence Of alarge number ofnsWspapers.
Many Of them have already succumbed
and ceased publication. Except in very
few instances, no business has paid so
poorly as that otnewspsper publishing du-
ring this war. In the great centres of
population the business has been good, and
yet the New York Tribune only little
while ago was obliged to cut down its ex-
change list, and to confess as a reason for
SO doing its difficulty to make ends meet.
What is true of the Tribune is true
of other papers, even in the great cities
The Journal Of Commerce went up the oth-
er day to fifteen dollars year, confessing
that it must either get that price or cease
to exist. Aud yet it is commercial pa.
per, and we'll filled with class of adver-
tisements for which high rate is paid
The Cincinnati papers are now charging
twelve dollars. The Boston Courier the
other day received benefit from its
friends of $50, 900, in order, if possible, to
help it over the shoals. The venerable
National IHtelligeneer was lately sold at a
low figure, having ceased to be remunera.
tive to its old publishers.
These facts appeal strongly to Congress
to hurry up the repeal of the duty on for4
eign paper. The government derives not
one cent from duty, for no paper is impor-
ted-nOt pound. The duty simply serves
to build up and protect gigantic monop.
oily in the East, and that monopoly controls
the rag market all over the country, here
and elsewhere. Our manufacturing friends,
the Messrs. Armstrong, of this vicinr
ity, have struggled for a long time to pro-
tect their customers, but they find them.
selves gradually overwhelmed with the
rising tide and have had to buoy themselves
up hand in hand with their patrons, until
their patrons and themselves are we'll nigh
submerged together. Our newspapers are
experiencing the evils of an inflated and
deprecated currency just as the rebel pa.
Pers have for so long a time. AS the war
goes on this condition of things cannot per-
manentIy improve. 1t may be mitigated
by wise legislation but not radically cured
Hence there will be no resort for publisha
ers except to do as the merchants and
manufacturers and everybody else dom
crease their prices from time to time.

THE Committee of the Louisiana Legis~
lature to investigate the extraordinary ex.
penses of the Constitutional Convention,
have made report inculpating the Ser
geant-at.arms and other officers of the
Convention. The bills for liquors, sta.
tionery and other things were doubled and
trebled, and these officers shared the plum
der with those who furnished the sup
plies. Fitzwilliams, whose bill for sta.
tiOnery was over So, 900, confessed that he
tore the account from his books and de.
stroyed it, to keep it from the committee.
The bill for whisky and sherry for the
Convention amounted to $9,704, about
one-third of which sum went into the
pockets of the sergeant-at-armsa and others
concerned. The Legislature has turned
the documents over to the Attorney Gem
ersl of the State for legal proceedings.
The Louisiana Convention may properly
be considered one of the most spirited
bodies that ever met on this continent. It
did very good patriotic work, but its per-
sonal record ia not thing to be proud of.
