IT WOULD seem that no twelve men,
unbiased and sworn, could sit in q Jury
box and compare the registration Stats
tics as they are being collsted Ia Louis
lana without feelings OF indignation al
the outrages committed by Gen. Sheri-
dams registers, and Of shame that such
proceedings are allowed to remain I'M
corrected. We have collated the Stats
tics for some of the parishes in that
state. Orleans parish had by the census OF
1850
White males over twenty, 1924 free
colored males over twenty, 2296 slaves
over twenty, 1910; or 5906 blacks against
1924 whites, owe twenty years Of age.
The registration list SO far in that parish.
shows about IL 900 blacks registered and
only $500 whites
In West Feliciana there were by the

A United States soldier asks the privi-
lege OF making a few remarks in your
valuable paper. In a circular dated from
the war department, and addressed to
the commanders of various regimenas,
l noticed that they lie. the govern4ysntl
ask for an explanation concerning the
great and increasing numbers of deser-
tions from the regular army. In this
they erred, for they should have rather
consulted the privates aud not the COM
manders. Pray what does the colonel of
a regiment know Whit reasons a private
snay have for leaving the service? But
rather let a private soldier explain it. It
is told in a few words, and the whole
secret is this they do not get enough to
cot! Here is the whole matterin a nut
shell.
Post and companyfunds furnish ample
pretexts for robbiDg soldiers of their food.
And let me assure You, a soldiers ratioDs
are cut down with as little remorse as a
Comanehe Indian exhibits in starving
his victims.
Let me give you an example Asnl-
dier's ration is plenty for even the
largest eater imaginable, but ii is cut
down to from twelve to thirteen ounces
Of bread, and q mixture Of something
which ought to be pork, and may be
g heaven knows what"
Badly managed eommissaries and in
competent officers contribute greatly to
this result. And then every one, from
the captain to the lowest cook, has a
pick at the r~ations, and when a soldier
gets it, it is small enough. In time of
war we do not object to a little privs-
ton, but rather expect it; but at a time
when the country is at peace and con-
tains plenty, it is 4 crying Shame and a
disgrace thatsoldiers should be so treated.
Perhaps, If you publish this, it may cir.
culate widely and do something toward
stopping the evil. VIII you do this and
oblige a REGULAR SOLDIER.

There will soon be sold in London the

recently deceased. His collection, which
is 8 large one, comprises the poetical
/ works of female writers, natives of
England and America, during q period
of three hundred years, and it is said to
contain many productions Of remarkable

unique, no other specialist in this depart

Gov. Harris for his course, and for arm
ing the south and resisting Lincoln to
the point Of the bsyonet, and have en-
rolled my name as q volunteer to resist

cut, opposed coercion and all forced

eogniZe the independence of the South

them back.

for standing by the border slave states,
for they are 10 De the great sufferers

league. But when peace lie restored, if
the two nations cannot live in peace, let
the fifteen states elect delegates, meet in
convention, frame their constitution and
submit to the people for their ratiica-
ton. The south ought to be a unit
during the war, by all means.
/ had announced myself as candidate
