that there ID but. little doing in military circles
nowadays, save winding up.business generally,
and looking after tho ihterosts of poor, ignorant
wandering negroes. This is. partially done by
keeping them running from ono commander tc

THE DEVOTION OF JOHN MITCHELL TO TIE
SourH.-Speaking of the release Of John
Mitchell, the Petersburg (Va) Index, says:
The release of John Mitchell from imprison-
lnent at Fortress Monroe, after long con-
fncment, will be received throughout the
limits Of this State with unalloyed gratifica-
I ton. During the war he was connected at
different times with two of the most inhuen-
tial papers in Richmond, and renewed among,
Us the reputation he has enjoyed, always and
everywhere, of being classic writer land an
intelligent thinker. All his sons took part
in the war. One, the youngest, was slain at
Gettysburg, bearing gallantly the banner OF
bis regiment, the First Virginia. Another
was killed during the world renowned de.
fehse of Fort Sumter, whose garrison, we be.
! licve, he Commanded at the hour of death;
while the third was severely wounded in the
right hand. To add to. his griefs, his wife
and daughter had the misfortune to be wreck
ed while endeayoring to enter the blockade
port Of Wilmington, losing everything they
possessed, and narrowly escaping with ,theiI
lives.
