KILLED BY a sHARPsHooTER AT CoRINTH
To THE EDITOR: In your issue of Sept 4
Col. Fahnestock mentions some instances when
persons seemed to have premonition of death.
The following circumstance came under my
personal knowledge: Mai. Arlington, of the
7th Ill. Cav, with four companies of his regi-
ment, was on picket duty in front of Gen.
Pope's Army, then the left wing of Gen. Hal
leck's force laying siege TO Corinth, Miss. His
position was considerably in advance of any
support and a somewhat turbulent stream,
swollen by recent rains, interviewed between
him and his camp. We were about five miles
northeast of the depot in Corinth and, for
some reason unknown to us, but most probably
some ones earelessness, we were left in this
exposed posi- ton for four days. The skirmish-
ing between the lines was heavy and constant.
There was cleared field between the lines,
about half mile wide, in the center of which
was grove of about an acre in extent, which
was alternately occupied by our side and the
enemy.
The Major was very respondent during the
forenoon of the fourth day, and, in converse
tion with officers and men, expressed his fears
of coming evil. It was in vain we tried to
rouse him from his melancholy mood and to
induce him to resume his wonted joyiality.
About o'clock p. m. Gen. Payne came out to
make a reconnaissance in force. The Major
was ordered to charge mounted, in columns,
down sunIen road, fanked on the left by a
tfmbered field inclosed By rail fence, and on
the right by thick and tangled growth OF
timber, impossible for horses He had hardly
got under way, when a ball from a sharp
shooter in the timber on the right pierced his
brain, and that ended the reconnaissance. Gen
Payne had much difficulty in extricating his
Division, and the advance position of the
picket-iine was abandoned, being retired nearly
two miles.-GEo. A. RooT, 7th Ill Cav, La

DECISION OF THE WATER CAsE.-Last
week Judge Boise rendered his decision in
thessult brought by the City of Salem Co.
against the Salem FIGURING Mills Co., con-
cerning the division of water by the new
dams in Mill Creek near this city. The
Judge found from the evidence that the
Salem FIGURING Mills Co. has been getting
by the dam which it put in last summer 25
per cent. more of the water flowing down
Mill Creek than the City of Salem Co. has
been receiving; and he further found that
each company was entitled to one-half of the
water; and ordered that the dams be so
modified as to give the City of Salem Co. an
eighth more of the water flowing down
Mill Creek-thus giving to each company
the same amount of water. The Judge has
had the case under advisement about six
weeks since it was argued and submitted,
by J. w. Bower and Tilmon Ford for the
City of Salem Co., and J. J. Shaw and Geo.
H. Williams for the Salem FIGURING Mills
Co., and his decision, which is in writing
and filed with the Clerk, indicates that he
has studied the case thoroughly, and it is
to be hoped that the water question is now
finally settled between our two enterprising
Touring mill companies.

EDITED BY THE w. C. T. U.
The other. Side.

It seems to me that the figures so familiar
to all readers comparing license and no
license States is not the worst side of drum
kenness The most frightful effects of the
drink-habit are not those which can be
tabulated in statistics and reported in the
census; it is not the waste of coin nor the
destruction of property nor the increase of
taxes nor even the ruin of physical health,
which most lmpresses the mind of the
thoughtful of inebriety. 1t is the effect of
this vice upon the characters of men as it is
exhibited to him day by day in his ordinary
intercourse with them. 1t is in the spiritu-
al realm that the ravages of strong drink are
most terrible. Body and mind are so closely
connected that when one suffers the other
must share the suffering and the injury;
the physical health resulting from intemper-
ate drinking must, therefore, be accompanied
by similar injury Of the mental and moral
forces The spiritual consequences of drunk
enness are overlooked; it is the money point
of view that usually arrests the attention.
The high license law Is regarded by the
". G. Il. u, first as unjust, because tend
ing to create a monopoly in liquor selling,
to build up the powerful dealers who already
do the most harm, and to crush out the
weaker who do the least; secondly as un-
wise financially, because if the dealer pays
$500 instead of 500 for his permit to en-
gage in the business, he must certainly pros
ecute his trade more vigorously to win back
his extra S4OO which has gone into the city
Golfers, thus producing more misery, poverty
and crime Thirdly as unwise morally,
since it lends respectability and tone to the
dealers who can afford the toy, and increase
their ability to lure ''the weak brother and
the sons of respectable homes and parentage;
| fourthly, and the most important, as
unchristian, because it is like all license
laws, recognition and permission of a traffic
which is crime against evil and sin, against
divine government. 1t is also such recog-
milton and Endorsement as tends to perpetu-
ate rather than weaken or overthrow the
system. L. Fl. A.

and received his appointment from the

The attention of the President has
again been directed to the necessity for
early action in organizing the Labor
Statistics, the establishment of which
was authorized at the last session of
Congress. 1t will be remembered that
John Jarrett, of Pittsburg, was nominal
ed for chief of this bureau last July in
the closing hours of Congress and chat
the President decided to withhold the
commission in consequence of indecent
abuse of the President by Jarrett in a
public speech. After full investigation,
during which Jarrett was heard in ex-
PLANTATION and defense of the charges
made against him, the
President decided not to
commission Jarrett. A question was
raised whether another appointment
could be legally made, which has had
