NATIONAL TRIBUNE and looking over it's
columns saw letter written by one Horace
Lowery, speaking In very disrespectful
way in regard to Hon. Jefferson Davis
Monument at Richmond Va. In my opin-
ion this Lowery is scoundrel and puppy and
worse than traitor. just think of the
rascal having brass enough to say, If the
COnfederates must nurse their traitorOus
sentiments let them do so secretly. What q
fool he must be. Does he fatter himself
enough to think for one moment that if we
were whipped by the Yankees that we are
so much afraid of them as to be compelled
to unveil our monuments in the dark to
keep from insulting Mr.. Yankee. We can
faunt our rebel flags just where we are a

SO. They stole everything they could lay
their hands on, leaving widows and children

tai comes from. Why is it the Northern
man cannot let the Confederate alone they
seem to hate him and if he dared to would
wipe him out Of existance. All the letters
Lowery can write will not keep us from
building monuments to the Hon. Davis,
Hood, Jackson & Lee, and you have only to

"Tell him to find out and be d. It's

At this moment an old Quartermaster re-
ported two vessels coming out from land.
One was the Ella and the other our chase of
the previous day. The Lieutenant. stepping
quickly to the Signal Officer, whispered
something in his ear. He started, took the
glass from the Quartermaster, and Jumping
on one of the broadsde guns took long
look at the two vessels approaching. Nod

pile of flags, pulled the book out of his breast

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The sketch
in the issue of Aug. 90, entitled Fun in
Camp" reminds me of an experience during
that same march. Three or four days after
we crossed the Potomac at Berlin, six miles
below Harper's Ferry, our brigade, consist
ing of the I'd Berdan Sharpshooters, the 18th
Brooklyn, the 22d, oath, and Both N. Y, were
marched off the main line of march to the
right, to guard pass in the mountain range
to prevent q surprise by the enemy. This
was the night of Oct. 3, 1863 The oath Ito
which belonged) was assigned place in
the line, with the headquarters Of E, H and
X at planters house.
The officers were quartered in the house,
while those of us who were not on picket
were quartered in the barn. Sometime
during the forenoon of the 4th, one of the
boys who had been prowling around, re-
ported peculiar odor emanating from
double corncrib with loft overhead.
As both cribs were locked, we could not
gain access to the loft without breaking in,
but as our curiosity was aroused, we made
up our minds that we would aScertain the
cause of the odor, even if we had to break
into the c0rncrib.' After wrenching one of
the loft, where we found about 40 bushels
of choice apples. We soon had supply
transferred to the barn for our own use,
after which another boy and myself took o
bushel basket full and visited the picket
line, where the countersign was "apples."
The old planter was quite wrathy when
he found we had broken open his building
and stolen his fruit; but that did notcu t
any particular figure.
While on this march an old fellow by the
name of Lacy, drummer, of Co. II, had in
some way gotten hold of an old horse and
wagon. On account of his being troubled
with the rheumatism he was allowed to
keep the outfit and remain with the brigade
wagon train.
Somewhere along the march he had found
q sack Of middlings. This stuff he fed to
his horse, whose teeth were 80 poor he
couldn't eat corn.

As stated in Tuesdays Kentuckian,
the Council met Monday afternoon
and formally accepted the water
works plant and entered into a con,
tract bearing date Feb. IL. The an,
nual cost to the city will be $4,000 for
40 hydrants for fire protection. In
this connection it is of interest to
property owners to know that they
are at once to feel the good effects OF
this protection. Mr.. W. r. johnson,
representing the Kentucky and Ten
nessee Associations, has been here
for three weeks re rating the city
under the changed conditions. he
is not yet through the work, but ex-
poets the new card to be ready with
in about a month. There will be
sweeping reductions of from Is to 80
per cent. all over the city. The in
surance business of the city is esti-
mated at about $4,000 in premiums
A reduction of rs per cent. on this

A Much stronger Market.

The tobacco market this week
showed decided improvement over
that of last week. Some very good
leaf was sold and prices ranged as
high as Sill for this grade. About
100 hogsheads were offered and sales
footed up something less, several
casks being rejected. There was a
full board Of buyers and the demand
for the better sorts was lively, while
common leaf and Tugs did not find
such a ready sale Common TO med
ium leaf brought from So to 81. Lugs
ranged from $I.50 to $3.50. To sum
up the market it might be stated that
it was active and strong on all grades
of leaf above common, and prices
were very satisfactory to sellers.
Nearly all of the reflections consisted
of common leaf and Jugs, which was
in every case in bad order. Receipts
are now good and are on the increase
every day. Loose buyers report con-
siderable activity in this line of the
