Death OF Levin Winsl"r.

II IS doubtless perfectly safe to say
that there is no place in this State at
the present time in which SO large a
variety of rumors is produced as are
born and nursed into healthy activity
as Fort Monroe. During the past fort
night the slib-tongued goddess of lhy.

most interesting and important events.

true, and chen. as if in spite she has
i:lVen currency 10 doleful harangues in
which Death With his sharp toothed
reaping hook was pictured as gloating
over his daily harvest of sick and
wounded soldiers. There is no occasion
for wonder in the fact tina, stories of
yellow fever and other deadly malatlics
among the soldiers have been circulated
since the arrival ot the first detachment
from The CORY field of Santiago.
a few statements made Yesterday on
the dock at Old Point will serve to IL
liistfate the absurd exaggeratiuns
which now and then unsettle the nerv, 3
of timid peopre--fAs> group of mea made
up for the most part Of VGllnvnrs t!s =, We're
engaged in an earenst discussi5,H'oi the
condition of affairs in the field hotpital.
For some time the dead house was thS
focal point of the energetic argument
IN hand. One man declared that at
that very moment, as he had been re-
liablN informed four bodies lay there
awaiting interment. One after another
he said, the soldiers are dying of fever
and the officials. fearful of losing large
numbers of men by desertion are seek
ing to cover up the real state OF affairs.
This was gloomy enough, indeed, but
the volunteer cut loose another reef in
the black curtain by adding that the
deaths ut the hospital had been so .nu-
merous at times and the diseases by
which the men had been carried away
were so malignant that 1t had been
found necessary to bury four In one
collin. When asked where he had OBJ
tanned such information he replied that
he had heard the story in camp and lie
saw no reason why he should discredil
it.
To the Intelligent mind such stories
rs this bear the brand of absurdity on
:hclr face Nevertheless they serve as
the foundation for rumors which, al
though contrary to the rule in such
matters, are sufficiently modified to be
taken seriously by thoughtful people,
when they become exceedingly mis-
chievous. The antiquated and untrust-
worthy adage that where there is so
much smoke there certainly must be
some fire is at once called into requisl-
ton and Il report which had nothing
more than a disorderd nagna ton
for a father takes on the form Of
alarming apprehension.

Remember the Gold Board.

The bankers of New York in the
darkest days of the rebellion crippled
the greenbacks by requiring custom
dues and interest on bonds to be paid
in coin; then in the name of patriotism
organized a gold board to furnish coin
to the government to pay interest on
the bonds they held They sent gold
to a premium of more than 250 per
cent. and made the war cost thousands
of millions more than it would have
cost if brave old Thaddeus Stevens
could have his way. The brazen gold
press are now claiming that it was the
patriotism of gold gamblers of Wall
street that saved the Union and not
the blood and sacrifice of the American
people.
These ''patriots" have come again.
They always come with the same reg
ularity as vultures gather around the
dead on the battle field whenever the
country is in distress or supposed to
be in distress. There is no fear of a
war with Spain. Our resources are
ample and at the command of the gov
ernment. The danger is from Wall
and Lombard streets, which organized
the gold board and made war on the
republic in the rear, while the brave
boys were sacrificing their lives on the
field of battle. The American people
hope they see liberty for Cuba and
honor for the United States, while the
vultures of Wall and Lombard streets
see nothing but bonds to swell their
Golfers, to be paid in dearer and dearer
money. Thus they seek to forge the
patriotism of the American people into
chains to bind the limbs of their pos
SilUer Knight Watchman.
