History OF the P. D. A. It. or
s'pee-wee Division"
PART III.

A Division of the 23d Army Corps
had been moved round to New Berre
since the capture Of Wilmington; Maj
Gen Cox had arrived and taken com
mand Of all the forces in the District Of
Beaufort, who began at once to make
preparations for campaign having the
capture of Goldshoro-a station on the
Wilmington and ~ cldon Railroad, and
at the crossing of another to Raleigh
from New BerDe- as It's object, in order
to connect there with Sherman Army,
and establish base Of supplies for his
noble soldiers, when they should com
plete their triumphant march from Saw
annah.
AS a large rebel force was holding
Kinston-where the railroad crosses the
Neuse river, who boasted Of their in
tcntions to drive back to New Berne any
Yankee force which might essay to cross
the river, and then come down With their
new ''ram" and knock the town and its
defenders 'sinto cooked hat" at their
leisure. it became necessary to perfect a
thorough organization of our troops, 50
that they might wrest victory from the
rebels at any cost, wherever they might
be met. 10 this end all the com
mands in the District Of Beaufort were
re-organized, and formed into two div
isions; the first under Brig Gen j. N.
Palmer, the other under Brig Gen. S.
2. Carter, while added to these was the
lst Div 23d Corps, under Brig. Gen.
Ruger.
Our "Pee-wee Division was then div
ided, Col. Malloy's Brigade, being at
tached to the Cd or Gen. Carter's Div,
while the rest of the command, including
the 18th Wis. Vet. Inf'y, were trans
fered to the 1st or Gen. Palmer's Div
ision.
The I'd Division, District of Beaufort,
was composed, as set forth by its &c en-
eral Orders No - as follows -
"lst Brigade Col. A. G.. Malloy, com
manding, will consist of the second brigade
Of the Division lately commanded by Brig

THE GAMBLING AT SARATOGA.

Saratoga visitor writes concerning the gamb-
ling facilities at the Springs this summer:
The present promises to be the fushest gambling
season ever known. Greenbacks are plenty, the
facilities for gaming are ample and enticing, busl-
ness is dull, the is over, time hangs heavily
in short, all things propitious for the sporting
element, and the taste for hazard is spreading un'
der the adroit influences set in motion. Such a
moral reaction as We are now beginning TO expe.

closing up of great, calamitous war. believe

There is not the most remote danger Of an out

crushed out The returning rebels alike with the
sympathizers are earnest for quiet. Even those
rutiians of the border land have laid down their
arms and gone peaceably to work. From one end
of this department TO the other there is universal
desire among the people 10 engage in such EN-.

enable them 10 recover from the disasters of the
past four years. The roads are safely travelled,
property is secure, farms long fallOw are being

prises are starting TO develop mineral resources,
old watering places are being got ready for visit

THE CORRUPTION OF PARTISAN SOCIETY.

REMARE ABLE STATEMENTS OF II. DUPIH.
The Paris correspondent Of the London Sta,

A very curious debate took place few days
ago in the Senate, on the present state Of the So
cial evil in the city of Paris From the nature
OF the subject discussed, the u Sernment reporter
was not admitted. NJ. Dupin has, however
printed the speech he delivered on that oc csson
for private circulation. In II he energet cally
concerned the luxurious lives Of the upper
classes OF Parisian society," comparing the wo'
men of the present day 10 the frog in the fable

size Of his friend the OK. When married wo

from telling her husband. Her own purse being
empty, she dresses on credit, which cannot last
forever. Therefore she signs bills Of exchange

means exaggerates this picture Of the highest
circles of Paris society where the object OF every

fact il is now recognized that society closes the
doors OF its salons TO those whose mise en- scene

HORRIBLE MuRDER IN GEoRGII.-A correspond

three white planters, living above the Ashpoe

The New York correspondent Of the Rochester
Democrat Ia responsible for the following:

Alexander 7. Stewart clears one thousand dol
