The Chicago Times of tho 10th inst, gives
the following to the public:
A prominent eastern newspaper charges
that our officers at Charleston have been
guilty of robbery, in taking plate. books fur
niture, and so FORTH from private houses. II
is too late in the day TO enter complaint in
this matter The evil has been done, and
it is now past remedy There are men in
Chicago who have been three years in the
field, and who, on salaries of from 800 TO
5000 per month, have been able to erect
brick blocks costing from thirty to fifty thou
sand dollars. There are families in this city
who, before the war, were in stiaightoned
circumstances, and who, during the war, have
been the unsalaried officials of great charita-
Bile organizations, but who now are living sur
rounded by every luxury, and enjoying, fnot
a fortune, at least competence.
Ii is 80 in Chicago, and it is probably so in
other places. Some Of our gallant patriots,
both male and female, have made good
thing out of the war and its charities and il
is entirely useless now for our we'll meaning
cotemporary to set up the cry Of stop thief"

BUTLER. April 6, Is

DuTLER: April ., 1900.
Mr., EDITOR Having just been re-
leased from eight months incarceration
in Southern prisons, | will attempt to
give you'and the readers of your paper a
description of some of the scenes of suffer-
ing | witnessed while there. On the
morning Of the 18th of August, 1864,
the 9TH Army Corps was then lying in
the rear of the Notifications in front of
Petersburg. At three o'clock on the
morning of the above named day, we we're
woke from our slumbers by the most ter
rife cannonading l think | ever heard
All along our lines, from the Jerusalem
plank road, extending on up the right of
our lines to the Appomattox river. Gen.
Warren, commanding the 9th corps, is
>sued orders for us to be ready to move at
moments notice. At day light we start
ed on our march to the left of our lines,
to destroy the Weldon Railroad. We
struck the Railroad about ten O'Clock in
the forenoon. and commenced tearing up
the track and destroying the rails. We
destroyed about eight miles of the track,
and then we commenced throwing up
Notifications at the Yellow Tavern. The
regiment which | have the honor Of beng
member of, well known as the old Penn
sylvania Bucktails," were armed with
Spencer rifles, or seven shooters. We
were ordered out on the skirmish line.
which order we obeyed as all good
soldiers will We remained on the line
all night without exchanging one shot
with the enemy, the next day, being Fri
day, the 10th, all was quiet, until about
10 o'clock, when the enemy in front of
us opened a most calling fire on us, to
which We responded quite lively with our
seven shooters. The skirmishing coptin-
ued about one hour, when an officer of
the regiment with which we were engag-
ed, came out under fag of truce and
asked for an armistice between his regi-
ment and oprs, which was granted, the
armistice lasted until about four o'clock
in the evening, when the armistice was
broken by the enemy they opened 3 gall
ing fire On us, and the same time our cars
were greeted with the sound of very hea-
w mApsskSetry. y on the right and left of our
lines. They broke through our lines on
both tanks, and the result of the break
ing of Qua. lines was the capture of about
1000 prisoners, aud among the number
our entire regiment, Colonel, colors and all

Mr.. EDITOR When the Great God
of Heaven first made man, he SO cousti-
tuted him that his happiness depended
on his acquisition of knowledge and re-
finement; and he expected them to in-
vestigate all the sciences, and convey
them to the minds OF others and always
to leave moral influence in their path /;
and when we see men going directly con-
trary to this, we think he is going reverse
to the will of the divine mind and when
we see men engaging in traffic in the
community, which pot only keeps indi-
viduals from growing in knowledge of the
perfections of the works of the Creator !:
but chasing down the faculty of soul to
sensual and devilish debasing yices-we
look upon him as a violater of the pro-
cess of heaven; and just such is the Of
fects produced by engaging in the traffic
of Intoxicating liquors. And to express
my candid opinion, nothing else in all our
land has such a tendency to destroy the
intellect, as whiskey. There is more tai
ent covered up and buried in the whis-
ky-cup, than ever graeed our Legislative
Halls and tits curious phenomena that
a shallow-brained indiyidpal, or tom
fool, can drink liquor till doomsday and
not feel the effects, whilst man Of high
spoble intellect will soon become tipsey-

turyey, apd find the brain giving way, and
run into all excess of debauchery ard
crime, and lent sselr fantastic e,psrs before
high Heaven as makes the angels weep
Exnerience, investigation and close oS
servation has taught me that intemper-
ence is no carpet knight, to be handled
with gloves on but it is a terrible and
powerful enemy to be overthrowed. But
| appeal to you temperance men apd
christians if it must not be bapisned be.
fore that day Of the Lord cometh, that
we will not have to say to our brothers
Fknow;ye the Lord: but all shall know
him from the least even to the greatest, OF
before the lion and the OK shall eat straw
together or the wolf and the lamb shall
lie in one fold Well then, if we are con.
vinced that intemperence will prolong the
coming of the day that the, Millennium
will be urshered in, why not strike now
for freedom, and break the yoke that
binds us.
Ponder, think moment how you, how
we, how all have been enticed and de.
ceived, and no longer stand back, but
come, let us all unite in common phalanx
and give this insduous foe of man such a
dreadful overthrow that all his bones will
be completely and forever broken.
Many who belong to no religious socie.
ty have taken the alarm. Many of the
youth of our land have seen their awful
danger, and they call on us and all friends
Of humanity to come over to their help
and lend them our influence and all our
aid to save them from so awful gulf.
Can any feel so cold or indifferent as to
refuse to lend helping hand to save
when so afiectionately called by many,
even by the present and future generation
of our dear children and youth? | do
not expect to touch new cord ip the
souls of Temperance men that will vibrate
through their whole system, but by plain
talk and prayer, | wish to make them see
their duty and act accordingly; and
would ask what would be the future des-
tiny Of our great country of we suffer the
whisky influence to go on Gnd spread, and
let wickedness and licentiousness prevail.
| fear for my country when l look over
the land and see those coming on. on
whose shoulders will rest the destiny of
this nation. 1t seems, in a. great many of
our Colleges, that the student who can
drink tlh2 most whisky is making tLe most
headway in knowledge, A shame, but
too much truth in the assertion.
People are with the temperance ques-
tion just as they were with slavery, think
it is an evil and ought to be abolished,
and still afraid to strike till it gets of such
gigantic proportions that nothing but ar
bitration by the cannons mouth will sup
press it. Call it prophosy, if you like,
but sayout, fearless Gr contradiction, that
if intemperance is not suppressed speedily
and securely in a short revolution of
years, it will rule or ruin this nation, just
as sure as the wicked and hell bore sla-
