My dear, kind Brother: o, my dear
brother, you can have no idoa how
the pastor, whose charge numbers
$4,000 members, feels when one-haIi
Is down with sickness, and moro than
onc-h:ilf is suffering from famine. !
cannot be sufficiently grateful for the
preservation Of health and strength in
the midst of Ill my cares and anxiety
| have, however, been unable to spare
me sufficient to give You particulars
OF the mortality horc. A few lines
must suffice now. A woman. whose
husband had been away a good while
seeking work, lived with her four chill
drcn in q cottage far out in tho wilder
ness. She owned COW, md as lonc
rs it gave milk the family sustained
lifo on milk and straw bread, prepared
from ground barley straw, and tho
mother was ablc to feed the youngest
who was six months old babe. But
the COW went dry; the mothor had nc
nourishmcnt' for her infant, and she
sent her oldest daughter, eleven years
old, in spite of thc'sovcro cold, with q
small bottle to tho nearest house, dis
tant from one 70 ono and q half Ger
mani miles. Tho daughter returned
without having obtained any milk
Whether thc people wore out Of milk

The Wings Logic

AS logician, the editor of the Wing is
by no means, a success. As specimen OF
his logic, he says that during the war, Gen
Singleton was the leader of the peace party
| and that "his nomination now is a confession
that he then stood on the democratic
ground &c. Now, the logic of the Whig
is at fault in this that his nomination now
is neither an endorsement nor a dissppovsl
of his position during the wsr-not a bit
more than his nomination now by the demo.
cratic party is an approval Of his position as
a leading whig in this state some years
ago-not a bit more than the nomination of
John A. Logan for congress by the radicals,
IS an endorsement of Logsns position at the
beginning of the war. When the war broke
out, Logan was an open, aVowed secession
list, and declared that federal troops should
not be marched through southern Illinois TO
attack the SOUTH unless they marched over
his dead body. The republicans have nom.
mated him for a second term in congress-
Do they thereby endorse his position at the
beginning of the war? Or do they not
simply endorse his present position on the
issues before the people, precisely as the
democracy Of the 4th district endorse the
present position of Gen. Singleton The
democracy of the Fourth district have rs lit.
tie to do with Gen. Sngletons position dur.
ing the war, as the radicals have with Lo.
gan's position at the beginning of the war.
1t may be said, however, that whatever may
have been Gen. Singeton'S position during
the war, he Was the only man in the country
in whom President Lincoln had confidence
enough to trust on a pence mission to Rich.

Lincoln became convert TO Gen. Single
