communication Of nearly two columns
in length. over the signature of rs.
Meredith" evidently prepared by his
attorney, and assuming to be vindica-
ton Of his late assault upon me at Rich
mond, Indiana. A very few words will
dispose of this shallow and impudent
manifesto, and leave him more than ever
under the public brand of falsehood and
cowardicc.
The attorney Of Meredith, 1t will be
noticed in preparing his vindicalion,
artfully strives To bewilder the reader
by confounding the question of his re-
moval from his command ut Paducah,
with the totally different and distinct
question Of his discharge from the ser
vice at the end tfthe waf. Ihaye never
affirmed that he wasnot finally discharg-
ed from the military service in the
lsttcr part of. May of last year, as he
asserts. Having been removed from his
command at Paducah, (as shall show
and the war having ended, and there
being no charges on file demanding u
military trial, the Government could do
no otherwise than discharge him at his
request; whilst Meredith jns. as natural
ly sought the first opportunity of es-
Gaping from the service, and of thereby
eluding the charges which he naturally
feared, after the censure implied in his
being relieved from his command. In
stead of redounding to his credit this
"honorabe discharge" at bis own request
so soon after he had been relieved on
charges of disloyaIty, only confirms the
suspicion of bis guilt, and evinces his
own fears of proper investigation. 1t
amounts in fact TO virtual confession
of Judgment against himself.
Had charges been filed, have no
doubt that ho would have been dismiss
ed in Disgrace years before the termina-
ton of tae war; for personally know,
as does Meredith himself, that the Sec.
retary of War regarded him as most
contemplate military failure, and was
only prevented from dismissing him by
the earnest and persistent entreaties of
Indiana politicians in bis behalf.

mand at Paducah. on the change OF

Remarkable Conduct or A Dog.

We have new dog story 10 re
late:
A little Euclid Avenue friend OF ours
possesses. among other pets.a a fnc point

that have been deserted by their moth

hen, By the way. The other day he fell
fast asleep while playing with the
chickens. As he lay upon The fipor,
with his long, golden curls streaming
out up1n tho carpet, the chickens nest
led beneath them ne they would have
nestled beneath their runaway mother.
The dog was near, and for some time
he watched the proceedings with evi.
dent interest. Finally he approached
tho sleeper, poked the chickens from
beneath the curIs, took them gently
in his mouth and carried them TO his
kennel. Their Juvenile owner was
much alarmed upon awakening and
finding that they were not Alarm
was changed, first to surprise and then
to pleasure, upon discovering theii
Whereabouts and the gentle manner in
which they were being cared for. The
dog seemed carried away with fond af
fection for his charge: he would gently
caress them, and look upon them with
eyes beaming with tenderness. Fol
three or four days the little chicks thu
resided with their canine friend. A
night they would repose beneath th'
bair of his paws, and during the day h
was their constant compsnion, attending
to their every want with human car
and soiicitude. Finally this Immature
mode of existence seemed to disagree
with them, and the chickens were takeI
from their strange PROTECTORS, much L
the latter's sorrow.
