On the evening Of the o3th visited the
trenches and sars thrown up BY tho 18th

and Colonel Thomas steadily advancing THAR
works, amid shot and shell, with the o3d
Indiana and 10th Minnesota, and in the re-
serve the I'D Ohio. Next on the left came
the I'd Town battery, then the ID hfgade, Of

light are companies 81 and + Of tbs 1st In

speak Of it. We really feel ashamed
for our County.
We shall have more to say on this
subject hereafter: fur we regard it as q
precedent that will lead to most disas.
trous results. if not met and righted a,
the very threshold. Personally. moth
ing could be more unpleasant and pain
ful; but sense Of duty. which is above
all friendship. impels us to make this
expose. We have delayed. hoping that
the matter woald be remedied without
this action on our part, and because our
columns have been crowded with the
discussion Of the Bonds question.
We now ask Of the Commissions re-
justice to the taxpayers of the County
by reversing their action iu this matter:
and We believe they will do it. By
some oversight. they committed the
error, but it is not too late to undo What
was done amiss. We hope Judge Spal.
ding will see bis error, and act with
honorable discretion in the premises
We are not done with the subject.
