From Capt. Call.
MACON, IN Dixie, May lst. 1865.
Dear Col. II embrace the opportunity
of Gen. Upton's going to Augusta, to drop
you, and my friends in town, a few lines,
to let you know We live, although we have
just passed through one of the hardest
campaigns Of the war; plenty of hard
marching, hard fighting, hard drinking, and
plenty Of hards of all kinds. We left
Chickasaw Landing, on the Tennessee
river, March 22d; on the I'd Of April, after
one of the most arduous marches of the
wsr, and after driving the enemy for several
days, we entered Selma, after two hours OF
the hardest fighting. 1t was one Of the
strongholds Of Johnnydom ; We captured
% field pieces, over 20 siege guns, arsenal,
&C.; but you doubtless know all this as
we'll as l can tell you. Our little Colonel,
though small man, showed both here and
at Ebenezer. Church, few days before, tina,
he was fighting man. Our men swear
by Col. j. Morris YouSa. After resting
here few days and destroying all public
stores, we marched to Montgomery; the
rebs. evacuated the town and the Mayo,
surrendered it. We rested enc day, then
started for Columbus; gos in range Of thei'
big guns about 4 P. NJ, on the 10th; com
menced skirmishing at 6 P. NJ; the charge
took place at about s, and in so minutes
the place was ours. ...
Resting few days. we left for this hot
bed of rebeldom. When 20 miles from
town they met us with a flag Of truce
but Col. Minty being in front, gave the FLAG
just minutes to leave the road; they still
remaining, he charged them and captured
the whole party. That night they surrcn

THEArREs.-Some Of the clergy are con-
demnins "play-actors" as the refuse Of the
earth, and they charge Booths crime to his
profession. This is very unjust to class
Of persons who have elevated mankind in
all ages Of the world. Those who can read
of the Grecian scholars and actors connec.
ted with the stage, those who remember
that SnAKEsPEARE was both play writer
and actor, will have little respect for the
following sentiments clipped from the pub.
lished sermon of an ignorant and fanatical
divine. The comments following the quo.
tations are clipped from an exchange, and
they are true in every particular.
1t took J,hn Wilkes Booth to murder
President Abraham Lincoln. Common
rebels and rowdies and guerrillas stood
back and psled at the thought, but mis-
creant stage player was found equal to this
internal task. An Imagination educated to
tragedy. can put its sciences in practice with
but short step in advance. All crimes
are FIRST committed in thought, and he
whose thoughts are continually fed with
criminal scenes bellies himself if he does
not commit the deeds. Towards this,
every lesson in the contemplate hipocri
cics Of stage playing tends, and the crime
Of Booth, by which he outranks the most
Infamous reeicide Of history, is but the
fruits Of his theatl ical life.
Shakespeare Furnishes all his villains, and
the moral of his dramatic works Is tina,
crime brings the stings of conscience, the
sorrow Of POVERTY, the curse Of the world,
and tragic and dishonorablc dea.h. In
brief, no uninspired author ever presented
the judgements Of great sins in more vivid
and glowing colors. We are informed by
an intelligent gentleman familiar with
stage life that the lessons Of Shakespeare are
not lost on the profession, since Booth was
the only great criminal ever educated III
that school. Whatever the offense Of ac
tors, they are not distinguished for the
commission Of capital crimes. This fact is
said to be shown especially by the criminal
reck ords Of both Great Britain and France.

think he had perfect right to be there. -
