SOLDIERS HOME DINNER AT BRIDGEPORT.
The following highly interesting and char
acteristic description of the dinner at Bridge
port has been forwarded US, by our esteemed
friend, the "Professor':
Some of the Union and opposition citizens
of Londonderry township united to have a
festival on the 18th inst, near BRrDGEPoRT,
in order to welcome our brave boys who have
got home from the army.
We were abundantly able to get up good
dinner without any outside assistance, and
were proceeding to do so, when our neighbors
wished to go in with us, and we thought it
hard to refuse them. So they helped us to
clear off the ground and make all other neces-
sary preparations.
We never liked to take to the lroods' when
we see anything to be done for our country,
but knowing the inclination Of some people to
be that way, compromise we chose a stu
alton having easy access to the timber; and
as some of it was covered with leaves, all
hands went in to burn it over We were
afraid some copperheads might be concealed
in the rubbish, and our friends were appre-
hensive of black snakes.
Well, on the 18th the people came from
every direction, with bountiful supply of
such good things of this life, as would have

EFFECTS OF WHOLESALE CLEMENeY.-A
Raleigh, N, G., telegram of August sth
states; Parties arriving here from different
parts of the State say that there is a great
change in the conduct of the late rebel SOL
diers. Their complete submission and good
intentions to tie Government for the frst
two weeks after the collapse of the rebellion,
challenged the admiration of all loyal men,
but since the wholesale display of clemency
to the rebel leaders of wealth and influence,
this treacherous and arrogant class have
poisoned the minds of these soldiers against
the Union, and are now organizing them for
a political conflict with the Government and
a war against the Union men and negroes.
They are having everything their own way
in designating delegates to the convention
which they expect viii soon be called I'm
less the Government iRterferes and excludes
then leaders from participating in this body
the true Union men viii have nothing to do
with its deliberations, which they claim will
result in farce and ruin all who are associa-
ted with it.
