The Chicago Times, commenting on it, Kays : "The farmer brands his cipher upon bis hog; the slave driver, inc ase of an incorrigible slave, brauds a letter upon his hand; the I French, iu their days of barbarism, branded *} the infamous T.

A Substitute.?A Wealthy gentleman in New Jersey, a few days since, enlisted as a i- substitute a stalwart and patriotic Canadian, pitying him 8300, and expending a considerable sum for an outfit. When they parted, the recruit promised, at the request of his prineij pie, to write at the first opportunity. The | gentlymah was a little surprised at receiving a < letter from his man dated Quebec, informing j him that his money hail enabled the substitute and his wife to set up a corner grocery, and that they were doing well, and that if his pat| ron would give him a call. lie. should have a drink gratis.?

Rutherford, ol the 3d Regiment, was killed, llis remains have gone up to Newberry for burial." The telegrams of this morning say Gen. Conner was wounded in the leg on the 13th, hut makes no mention of his wound causing amputation. We hope it may prove hut slight.

They claim, however, that they arc increasing in tbo country at large, and in the world, and they ascribe the diminution in Utah to temporary causes and absences.
