We learn that in one of the recent cavalry en-
gagemeats in North Carolina, Gen: WADE HAMPTON
was captured by the enemy. Immediately upon
receipt of the intelligence, Brig Gen. T. NJ. LOGAN,
with the 9th and 6ths. c. Cavalry, made charge
upsn the troops who had just captured HAMPTON,
and rescued their gallant and we'll beloved chief
from the CLUTCHES of an insolent foe. a. A.consdsr-
ableS6ght ensued in which the majority of both
Regiments making the charge were captured, and
the noble, high-souled LoaANwas killed!
1t was only in our last issue that the promotion
of Gen. LOGAN was made public, and it is our sad
duty to chronicle to-day his departure for the spirit
land He entered the far-famcd champion Le-
gion" as p'ivate, and by gallantry, courage and
devotion 10 the cause, won an honorable wreath of
glory,-and the rank of Brigadier General. For
his old commander he freely gave his life, and his
memory shall be emba!med amongst those who
sacrificed their al-in defence ofpur liberties alsa

In last weeks issue reference was made by che
editor dsJeur to communication received from Tie
Postmaster at Belton, in regard 10 our complaint
against the management of his Office. The P. NJ IS
letter will be found elsewhere, and we can only
repeat that it is farhest from our intention to dO
him injustice. Butthe numerous instances which
had been cited to notice of subscribers failing
to receive thev copies, compelled the publication Of
the complaint. Upon personal conference with
the Postmaster, whois represented bya deputy,
we are satisfied that some of the instances
brought to our attention gere groundless; but
nevertheless we feel confident that the deputy is
too sanguine of his infallblity, and that there
was, Oh more than one OCCASION just cause for the
accusation of neglect. As to the interest he has
manifested in the extension of circulation, and
his attempt to prove by analogy that Caesar can
do no wrong" We have nothing to eply. Verd'sn

the part of the Postmaster at Bolton, to deliver
mail matter in due time, lis an unjust charge
There is scarcely an hour, day or night, through
the entire weok, that the office may not be opened
on application for mail matter. Yompaper comes
this offce,one week on Saturday ana another
week on'Wednesday. So soon as it oomes it IS de-
livered to subscribers on application. 10 excep-
tion to this rule Any information that has
you to justify the notice which you g your
last issue, on the subject, is by mey Encea
basely false. As TO the frequent mia Tnich
the Postmaster is charged, he pleads nggguil'y'
and asks for fair trial in which both sides may
be heard. There are number of well iifermed,
and unprejudced persons wlroare well asfisainted
with the manner of doing business IN TINS ONCE
none of whom will sustain the charge.
It appears strange, indeed, that the Postmaster
would act amiss in delivering yonr papq after
having used much industry 10 procure suSFrrlbers
for it. The Postmaster at Bolton has q right to.
ask justice at your hands, and to expect pothingt
short of it.
