The expectation that congress will
increase the regular army to 100, 600
men is one reason why the war depart
ment authorities are not very strongly
antagonizing the movement all over
the country for the release of the VOL
unteers. If 10000 of the volunteers are
allowed to 60 within the next six
weeks or SO, large number Of the
general officers will also have to be
discharged, for the reason that they
will be without commands, but an in
crease in the regular army to 100, 900

It Is argued BY deep thinkers that the

often made to enlist against their will, and
thus become discontented with existing con-

for which crime he was convicted, und
an attempt at legal execution made,
and after having his sentence committed
by Gov. Nc aurin to life imprisonment
in the penitentiary, a part Ut which
sentence he has served, Will nurvis,
the whitecapper, stands good chance
to be pardoned in the near future. The
governor has received, remarkable
letter, signed by the three brothers and
brother-in-law Of VIII Buckley, the
murdered man, stating that they hon.
estly believe q mistake had been made
and an innocent man has all along been
suffering the penalty Of another mans
crime. These relatives have naturally
ever since the assassination, been par.
ticularly bitter against Purvis. and
have resisted encrgetically every at.
tempt to have him pardoned.. And
their admission and request to have
Purvis pardoned is one Of the most con-
vincing things that have yet come to
light in the history Of this remarkable
case. The lettec in question is signed

rust, rot, excess of stalk and lack Of
fruit are common, indicating serious
injury thereby this season. Cotton is
being marketed as fast as it is ginned,
and over three-fourths of the crop is
now ready to be picked. Corn is being
harvested and the yield is very large,
and the quality fine ms rule, very few
