THAT gallant and puissant fleet of
cruisers which make up the Maryland
oyster armada have come out of the
dry-docks, cleared their decks for ac-
ton, and are bearing down upon the
pungics and the bug-eyes which
dredge for the seductive bivalve in for
bidden waters. Several of the mighty
vessels Of the armada have had en-
counters with the pirates of the Chesa-
peake and her estuaries, but while
there have been shots exchanged no
one has yet been injured. Our esteemed
Baltimore contemporaries have their

JUDGE TuoMAN, late of the Civil
Service Commission, lecturod at his
home in Youngstown, o., the other
night, selecting for his theme the great
subject of Civil Service Reform As
the audience that gathered to hear him
was only about seventy.fvc strong, it
is safe to infer that however much the
people Of Ohio may respect the Judge
as man, they have little sympathy
with his ideas of reform. Mr.. Eaton's
diagnosis of Ohio and Maryland is that
their conversion to the mild hammered
spoils system of these latter days is n
hopeless undertaking. Judge Tho
man S experience in Ohio confirms the
Eatonian theory. An inquiry of Mr.
Higgins at the Treasury Department
will show that it is painfully true as to

THE Democrats of Louisiana, though
some Of them may not be pleased with
all the Presidential appointments in
that State are rejoicing at the net re-
suit. All the Federal offices there with
one exception are now in the hands of
the Democrats and Democrat will
soon get that. The Federal Offices in
Louisiana for the past twenty years
have been in the hands Of Republicans,
and it is but natural for the Democrats
to rejoice at the change. That they
have substantial reason for rejoicing
all will admit, for as a rule the Repub-
lican olllcc-holders of Louisiana have
not been irreproachable. They have in
fact given rise to morepolitical scandal
than those of any other State in the
Union, and it is well that the rascals
are turned out.

Voorhees, to deny the foolish story that

nobody believed it in Indiana; svery
doubtful if anybody outside of an in

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT In your issue of
last week, in your local column, notice
one from Dr. E. H. Heffien from Mime
apolis. He claims to have been called
here to remove the eye from my boy, who
was injured by sling shot sometime ago.
That he is treating the child, and will
come again March 1st to perform the
operation. Such q marked degree of i'm
pudence and cheek has no parallel in the
history or records of the profession, as
there is no truth in it from beginning to
end. Mr.. Het1len was here visiting
friends, and called to see my boy, but
not at my request, rs had not thought
of changing physicians, being perfectly
satisfied with DR.. Johnson treatment.

OF Feb. 4, notice one mentioning the
widow of Capt r. P Mooers. Twenty
six years ago this winter he taught the
village school in Otranto. Iowa, which I
attended. I have letter from my broth
er, Virgil W. Houghton, who served four
years in Co. X, 4th MINI. Infantry, writ
ten Immediately after the battle of
Corinth, from which 1 send you an ex-
tract, as it gives the details of the death
of Capt. Moores and will doubtless be of
interest to many Of the survivors Of the
times which tried mems souls; as we'll as
to many mothers and sisters who will re-
call how anxiously they awaited news
from the loved ones at the front.
The Bullock mentioned is the Mr.. W.
81. Bullock, now Of Austin. Maxon en-
listed from what is now known as the
Trowbridge place, south of Austin. Mr..

CAMP NEAR CoR1NTH, Oct. 10, 1862
DEAR MOTHER AND SISTERS 1--we
ning) I at last have an opportunity of
| writing. We have had 50 much work for
| the past two weeks that could not get
chance to scratch line but once, and
have heard OF the fight at Corinth. We
were there, and held hand. and our
noble Captain fell the first day. We
| were detailed in the morning to advance
as skirmishers, which we did, but met no
enemy. Then again in the afternoon we
were detailed. We deployed under their
fire. Our company fought full half
hour as skirmishers. Capt. Mooers fell
about ten minutes before the skirmish
fighting stopped. He was a man who
knew no fear. He cautioned and cheered
his men constantly, standing there too
good mark for their sharp shooters.
! he turned towards the reserve just be-
fore he fell, and cried, Where is my re-
serve? Send me man from my reserve. y
Just at that moment he fell, and died
instantly. The ball entered the back of
his head and passed out the left jaw
oh you may believe there was many a
sad heart that night, for he was loved by
all, both subordinates and sureriors. It
is said that he was Lieutenant Colonel
when he was killed; that his commission
was here. do not know whether such
is the truth or not. Corporal Mortimer
and Maxon, Bullock and myself, took his
body to Corinth and buried it. 1t was a
sad, sad task. In the second days fight
our regiment supported the 18th Ohio
Battery. The loss of our regiment in the
fight was small. Tell Charlie think
have taken my goose by this time.) We
have been chasing them ever since until
yesterday, picking up prisoners from
Prices demoraliZed army.
| TUESDAY MORNING, Oct. H.
We moved camp yesterday so could
not finish my letter as l intendedto. We
took up the remains of Capt. Mooers yes
terday, the coffin was put inside of large
coffin that was lined with zinc. 1t was
cemented, and expressed to St. Louis.
There was doctor here sent by the Cap
tain's brother-in law. Our camp was
broken 10 about a month ago, and is just
established outside of town on the east.
From the time our camp was broken up
we have been almost constantly on the
march. VIRGIL w. HoUGHToN.
