Letter to a Soldier who Drinks.
My Dear Friend:?So frequent audi
so distressing are the reports coming to:
us from the camps, as to the increasing
prevalence of intemperance among the
noble soldiers of the Confederate Army,
that I have become exceedingly anxious
about you. Knowing your liability to
fall under temptation, and your tendencies
to this habit before you volunteered,
my fears for your safety, have risen
.very high. Can it be, 1 ask myself,
* ? i 1 1 .1 v.
. that my triena, so amiaDie, so cievcr,
so intelligent, so well qualified for usefulness,
is among the thousands and tens
of thousands of our soldiers, who are
now consuming away in camps, and will
soon cither be consigned to premature
graves, or be returned home, the, victims
of disease engendered by intemperate
habits, and stript of all those
personal attractions that once belonged
to them, and which have given way to
the loathsome, degrading and repulsive
vice that now holds them in its clutches
? Such is my solicitude for you,
and such my desire to save you from
the crime, the degradation, the curse
and the doom of the drunkard, ?that I
make this appeal to you, and through
you to others who are threatened with
the same danger. What I have to say
is applicable to you, whether you are
given to occasional or habitual intoxication,
for in ultimate effects the case is
the same ; the one leads to the other,
and either arraigns you as guilty of no
ordinary sins, of the grossest improprieties,
and as rushing through a most
disgraceful career, to a most awful
doom.
Bear with me whilst I picture the
tendencies and effects of your habits of
drunkenness.
You are thus violating your promises
and practicing unpardonable deception
upon your friends at home. When
parting at the door, did you not reply
"I will," to the voice of those dear ones
as they softly whispered "take care of
yourself." And in every letter received
from home, is there no*- .some admonitory
word, to which in your answer you
say you "give heed?" But are you
doing it, when you are pouring down
your throat the liquid /ire, which you
know is diseasing your body and storing
up for you all those evils which, as you
have seen, invariably track drunken?
UAxr rtnn rrAii IMIWOIIA Q AAllVCft
xi^oo ; iiu >1 khi jvu cv wui
which proves you unfaithful to solemn
promises, and convicts you of falsehood
to those who love you so much, and who
have done and are now doing so much
for your comfort ?
But this evil habit growing upon you,
you are accumulating the bitterest griefs
and the most hopeless sorrows, to be experienced
by your friends at home.?
You may flatter yourself that your
friends at home do not know your habits.
Do not deceive yourself. They
hear from the letters of others, and
-from those who visit the camp, much
more than you imagine. Butsupposing
they do not now ; will they always be
ignorant of what you are doing ? But
let the knowledge come when it will?
and come it must?it will fill them with
unutterable sadness. Yes! yes! When
they hear the tale of your incessant
"dram drinking," and your health ruined
by irregularities and drunkenness;
or when?if spared?they may see your
bloated features, scarlet skin and bloodshot
eye; or perhaps, before they see
you, hear of your sudden death from
accident or violence, the result of your
habits; or stand beside your newly arrived
corpse, or, if through mercy denied
all this, they live to welcome you
back home a confirmed drunkard, will
not their souls overflow with .sorrows
and their very heartstrings break with
anguish ? Can you be so heartless, so
devoid of sympathy and love, as to fill
up for your friends this bitter cup.?
But even in doing this, by the indulgence
of vour vitiated taste, you are
I ~ * w* n
also squanrdering large quantities of
your money. For we hear that through
the greediness, vileness and wickedness!
of .-peculators, you must pay enormous
prices for your liquor. Besides the inconsistency
of your encouraging and
enriching this contemptible horde of
speculators, now infesting every nook
and corner of the land; you are wasting
your money, that might be kept to
increase your comforts in camp, by the
'purchase of useful or necessary articles;
or if you, have more than enough for
this, you might assist your poor comrades
in arms, or you might send it to
some of your needy friends who now
live in want of many things, or upon
public charity ; or, if none of these
exist, then you might donate to your
country, struggling with debt, the money
you now expend for that which brings
naught but ruin, where it reigns.
But your being enslaved to the appetite
for 3trong drink, reaches so far as
td table a charge against you, which, as
</. brave soldier, you ought to scorn to be
Sponsible, even for the occasion of its
utterance. It impeaches your patriot~
ism. Your act of volunteering implied
that you loved your country, and were
willing to make a sacrifice of your domestic
comforts, and, if need be, would
-T Ij. J ?C
give up younue iur it, uuu, ui wmot-,
would do all that man could do to prepare
yourself to meet the invader of
your soil. But, alas ! you have turned
to poisoning your own body; you often
disqualify yourself for doing aright the
simplest camp duty ; and yon are making
yourself a subjeet for the hospital
?for the intemperate suffer most from
diseases?and you put yourself oftentimes
into such a condition that, if attacked
by the enemy then, you could
not fight as your country's cause demands.
And you are setting an example,
that if followed by a majority of
your companions in arms, would cause
constant defeat to our armies and overthrow
to this Government of ours.?
Let an army be largely composed of
drunken officers and soldiers and it will
soon fall an easy prey to the enemy.?
You know that to fight well, an army
must be formed of brave men?whose
hearts are filled with the inspiration of
a good and just cause, and it must be
thoroughly drilled. But men who spend
their nights in carousals, and their days
over tne lmoAioittiug cup, mc muuiuyctent
to a possession of the loftiest sentiments
of patriotism?for drunkenness
brutalizes the soul and quenches all its
purer feelings?are too insubordinate to
be well disciplined, and are too reckless
on the battlefield to act the part of
skillful and prudent, but valiant and unllinching
patriotism. You need not tell
me that artificial excitement renders
one insensible to danger, and so, is of
assistance on the field. For, in reply,
I will remind you that he who ordinarily
indulges in artificial excitement
will, when a battle is approaching, get
drunk; and besides, there is usually too
much excitement produced by the circumstances
of a battlefield. This is
not the place for infuriated minds, or
bodies fuming with liquor; but these
are demanded, to meet the crisis, the
cool, clear and discerning mind?the
steady and strong nerve?the trusting
spirit and confiding and prayerful heart,
as well as practiced hand, and the whole
person accustomed to the highest mili-|
tary discipline. These fit the patriot
to dare and do, even to death. But as
habitual drunkenness deprives you of
some or all of these, it that fin- impeach
es your patriotismBut
I further remind you that your
habits of excessive use of intoxicating
liquor tends to protract the struggle in
which your country is noio engaged. I
UllUt ail J UUUU miUSiUii tv Hie yanvuo
ways, in which it disqualifies you, and
all like you, for doing the part of true
soldiers, and these you must not underrate.
I ask you to rise to the consideration
of the effect of your crimes upon
the moral deserts of your country. Is
not your drunkenness swelling the catalogue
of the sins of the nation, and
thus provoking the angered judgments
of God to descend more thickly upon
the country ? (See Deut. 29:19, 20,
21; Prov. 23:25?35; Isaiah 28 :13 ;
Nahuml:10; 1st Cor. 6:10). "Iappeal
to your magnanimity?to your
generosity : l>o not contribute to your
country's disasters ! Do not make the
cloud of God's anger any blacker over
our smitten country ! Do not postpone
the day of our national triumph ! But
repent, reform your habits, and seek
and pray and fight aright for peace !?
But, my dear friend, I cannot drop my
pen until I have brought home to your
mind a view of the personal consequenn-P

idly you are destroying your body !?
See how your mind is impaired and bow

how you are losing the respect of your
companions and the confidence of your
officers ! See how you are disgracing
yourself and all your family! And
above all?see how you are multiplying
and aggravating the sins of your soul,
and how hastily you are rushing that
guilty soul into the consuming presence
of Jlim who says "no drunkard shall
enter the kingdom of Heaven." It has
given me much pain to draw this dark
and foreboding, but real picture of your
crime. AH besides, that I can say is,
that, if when you have looked upon this
portrait of yourself and your hastening
destiny, you are unwilling to change
your habits ; then I beseech you, get a
discharge and come home ! Do not stay
in the army, th'n dishonoring the profession
of a soldier?r-infecting by evil
example, others who would faithfully
serve their country?and being of no
use to that country, whose money you
draw, and whose blessings you reap,

cough, or sinking under camp
fever. Come home, where your loving
wife, or devoted mother, or dear sister
can see with horror, the wretchedness
you have brought on yourself; can,
with crushed spirits, minister to you,
when mania apotu shall come upon you,
and close your eyes when death has bidden
you to your eternal doom ! Come
home, and let your grave be dug beside

himself by drunkenness, contracted
and confirmed in camp. I now bid you

Engagement at Roanoke I island.
Norfolk, February 8.?A messenger
from Gen. Wise arrived here at 11
[ o'clock a. m. this day, with despatches
to General Huger. The messenger left
Roanoke Island at 2 p. m. yesterday,
when a desperate battle was raging.?
Fifty-three ships attacked all our batteries
at 11 a. m. yesterday, and tried
to land, but had not succeeded when the
messenger left. They had ceased firing
at our upper batteries at 2 p. m. The
messenger, while on his way, heard constant
and rapid firing till dark, when it
ceased.
Reinforcements were sent to Wise
from Nag's Head, at 1 p. m. yesterday.
No further particulars.
CAPTURE OF ROANOKE ISLAND.
300 Confederates and 1,000 Federals
Killed and Wounded.
Richmond, February 10.?A steamer
which arrived at Norfolk to-night,
brings the intelligence that the Federals
took Roanoke Island yesterday afternoon
at 4 o'clock. A Federal force
of 15,000 landed against less than 3,000
Confederates. All of our troops
who were not killed were made prisoners
except 25. Many officers were
Vounded?among them O. Jennings
Wise, thought to be mortally. Capt.
Coles, of Charlottsville, is reported killed.
The particulars are meagre, but
the capture is certain. Gen. Wise was
not captured.
Later.?An officer of the Confederate
steamer Curlew, just from Roanoke
Island, reports the Curlew sunk by the
enemy. The other Confederate boats

ammunition.
A large body of Federals, supposed
to be 5,000, landed yesterday at Roanoke
Island. Their landing was intentionally
permitted, so as to meet them
on shore. It is reported that our troops
engaged the enemy vigorously, and that
the battle raged terrifically all day.?
Our batteries were uninjured. No casualties
are reported.
A flag of truce went to Fortress Monroe
to-day, and will return this evening.
Additional Particulars.?On Saturday,
at 9 in the morning, all the batteries
continued for half an hour, and
under this fire the enemy landed 5,000
men at the South end of the island?it
being a very marshy locality. The
Confederates charged, cheering. The
enemy retreated in disorder, attempting
to reach their gun-boats. The Confed
erate reinforcements reached the island
Friday night. Ammunition was abundant,
and they were well provisioned on
the island. During the attack, four
Federal vessels were sunk. The Confederate
steamer Curlew was only beached.
A large ball'struck her deck and
passed through her bottom. All aboard,
with the ammunition, were saved. The
commander of the Confederate steamer
Forrest made a gallant fight, and was
somewhat wounded. One midshipman
lost an arm. Fifty Federal vessels were
off the island, but only twenty gunboats
were engaged. It is understood
that the Confederate fleet retired to
Elizabeth City to obtain supplies, which
were found, and they promptly returned
re-invigorated.
Norfolk, February 10.?0. Jen
nings Wise was shot through the hip?
disabled, but the wound is not mortal.
Major Lawson and Lieut. Miller were
mortally wounded. About three hundred
Confederates were wounded. 0ver
one thousand Yankees were killed
and wounded. Midshipman Camm had
an arm shot off. Casualties unreported.
An arrival this morning says that
Elizabeth City was shelled ana burnt
by the Yankees. The enemy are pushing
forward to Edenton.
Important from the West.
Richmond, Feb. 10.?The Lynchburg
Virginian has received a private
dispatch from Chattanooga, dated the
18th, which states that the enemy's
gun-boats reached Florence about four
o'clock p. m., yesterday. Troops were
| landed and occupied the town. They
were within a mile of Tuscumbia last
night. This morning they left and are
gone to their gun-boats.
A later despatch received by the
Virginian from Chattanooga, of today's
date, says that the reported fight
at Bear Creek is untrue. The Lincolnites
have again returned to Florence.
No bridges have been burned. Railroad
communication is entirely cut off
between this place and Memphis. The
l-incolnites are landing at Eastport,
Mississippi, thirty miles below Florence,
on the Tennessee River.
Memphis, Feb 10.?The Federal
gun-boats passed down the Tennessee
River from Florence yesterday. They
carried off Government stores from Florence.
The steamer Robert Dunbar is
safe, having run up Cypress Creek. No
injury lias been done to the railroad or
private property. They are expected
back soon.
500 Federal cavalry were landed at
, Savannah, Harding county, Tennessee,
at 10 o'clcock yesterday. The bridge
over the Tennessee River is in possession
of 250 Federals, and is uninjured.

The Tennessee River Bridge was burnt
between five and six o'clock last evening.
Our forces while retreating on
Fort Donelson were pursued by the
enemy. It is reported that Fort Henry
is inundated.
Gen. Pillow has been assigned to the
command of Fort Donelson.
Fort Donelson, February 7.-?Gen.
Tilghman, Major Gilmore, Capt. Miller
and abdut eighty officers and men surrendered
with the fort. They remained
to cover the retreat. Col. Heyman
brought over the rest of the command,
numbering 3,000 men in good order to
this post, arriving last night. Owing
to the bad state of the roads, high water
and attack in the rear by the enemy's
cavalry, Heyman says it was a matter
of physical impossibility to save the
field batteries. Nothing was saved but
the Bmall arms.
An attack is not expected here till
to-morrow.
Memphis, Feb. 7.?A special dispatch
from Paris, last night, reports
that three gunboats arrived at the Tennessee
River Bridge yesterday, at 11
o'clock, took possession of the bridge, j
turned the draw and passed up the nv- j
er, first shelling the town, but did not (
damage the bridge. ]
Later advices lead to the conclusion
that our forces evacuated Fort Henry ]
and retr eated to Fort Donelson.
The Federals are in possession of the
Tennessee River Bridge, but have not t
destroyed it. Two Federal gun-boats j
were injured and lost. j
The provisions in Fort Henry were \
saved and the guns spiked. 1

France is to lead in declaring the block- '
ade inefficient. It is said the French
Minister is to join Lord Lyons in pro

harbor. Earl Russell, in a despatch
to Lord f^ons, says the "checking of (
Southern harbors is a plot against the !
commerce of all maratime nations, and
against the free intercourse of the Southem
States with the civilized world."?
Lord Lyons is to be instructed to protest
against any further stone blockades.
The Confederate steamer Sumter has

Boanokd Island.
The Raleigh Standard states that
| Gov. Clark, of North Carolina, has
received a despatch that ninety vessels
of the Burnside fleet had passed Hyde
County, bound North. The supposition
was that it would attack Roanoke
Island. It states that a report had
reached it that Gen. Huger is on the
island with six thousand troops, and
will defend it to the last extremity.
According to our telegraphic report,
the fight was going on Friday. The
Tiismntr.h hn.fi thn following :
The Burnside Fleet Moving.?Information
has been received at the War
Department, from Hyde County, N. C.,
announcing that from fifty tu a hundred
of the enemy's vessels have left Hatteras
and sailed towards Roanoke Island.
Our special dispatch from North Carolina
communicates the same intelligence.
This movement may be in pursuance of
the Federal programme, which, we have
been led to believe, is to precipitate an
attack at some important point on the
coast; and as Roanoke island commands
a rear approach to Norfolk, it is
at least within range of possibility that :
we may have stirring news from that ,
direction at an early day. Roanoke
Island also commands the valley of
Roanoke River, probably the richest of <
all the valley country in North Caroli- <
' ? ii li il , ___
na, and is, Devona aouDt, tne most 1m- <
portant strategic point on that coast.? ;
If it be the enemy's object to harrass %
and despoil the country, his success <
would entail severe damage upon the ]
people. The possession of the island i
jven, would give him easy access to
several rich counties by navigable
streams, and would place at his disposal
the towns of Elizabeth City, Edenton,
Hertford, Plymouth, WilHamston,
Windsor and Murfreesboro.
The island is about forty miles North
>f Hatteras ; is about eight miles long,
md from two to three miles wide. Being
entirely accessible by water, and offering
such vast temptations, it appears
in- A-. !- i. a:.
june proDaDie mar 11 ih lu tmo pmn
tnat the efforts of the Burnside fleet will
be directed. Engineering skill and an
adequate force of brave men may, howsver,
scatter all his planB to the winds,
ind render abortive the immense preparations
which have been made for this
jrand enterprise.
Affairs in the West
The fall of Fort Henry, to which we
alluded yesterday morning, although
lot a great Federal victory, is, from its
position, an important point, and is an
ndication of the general designs of the
inemy. For the information of our
readers, we state that Fort Henry is
situated on the east bank of the Tennessee
river, a few miles south of the State
ine, at the point of an angle formed by
;he river, only one side of which it comnands.
A correspondent of a Northern paper,
under date of January 13, writing
if the Confederate situation in Keniucky,
says:
The position of Fort Henry, on the
last bank of Tennessee River, is low
md entirely commanded by the bluffs
in the west bank. It is armed with
sixteen guns of light calibre?only 32,
19 or>f} fi-nnnndorn Sr>TTift cnlnmhiads
0,?.V? V. ?
ire, however, now said to be on their
way there, and the opposite hills are to
be fortified, according to report.
Fort Donelson, near Dover and the
Cumberland?only about twelve miles
from Fort Henry?is situated on the
[vest bank of the river. It is a simple
earthwork, mounting only twelve 24
md 32 pounders.
Both forts, or rather batteries, are
intended only for the control of the
lavigation of the river, and are inade-|
juate for defence against an attack by
:and.
The special correspondent of the
New Orleans Picayune, writing from
Bowling Green, says:
Our works, Forts Henry and Donelinn
nr? t.hp Tennfiflsefi and Cumberland
rivera, are not strong, nor strongly
manned, and a vigorous attack upon
hem by an adequate force, it is thought
ay military authorities, must be successful.
Should they fall, it would not be difficult
or dangerous to burn or destroy
he railroad bridges across these streams,
jutting off communication between
Memphis and Columbus on the one hand,
md Nashville and Bowling Green on
he other.
It may be that the enemy purposes
solating the force at this place, and
hus starving us into an abandonment
>f the fortifications here. Forage is
abtained here with some difficulty, and
vith the force at their disposal we might
ae subjected to much annoyance.
We may now look for stirring times
n the West, and a decisive battle either
it Bowling Green or Columbus. We
have able generals there, Sidney Johnston,
Beauregard and Polk, who have
ao doubt anticipated these movements
md are prepared for the enemy, should
tie venture upon anything like an equal
lontest.
In relation to Fort Henry, we have
the information that the fort is an open
earthwork, and therefore not easily defended
against an attack from gunboats.
It is situated on the Tennessee river,
near the State line, we think, and was,
ioubtless, intended as a protection to
the railroad bridge which crosses the
river at Danville. If that was its object,
it has proved a failure, as the enemy
have not only captured the fort,
but have also burned the bridge. This
is a serious loss to us; but communication
between Columbus and Bowling
Green is mot altogether cut -off by this
movement. There are one or two other
routes connecting these two important
positions, not so convenient as the
ene interrupted, it is true, but still suf-1
Bcient to keep up communication he-j
tween tnem.
In relation to Fort Donelson, to which
General Pillow has been assigned as
commander, we may say that it is another
open earthwork, on the Cumberland
river. The tenor of the last news
from there gives us great encouragement
as to the eventual result.
Southern Guardian.
Capture of Fort Henry.
The capture of Fort Henry, although
much to be regretted by the South, was
a foregone conclusion whenever the
enemy should think proper to bring a
large force of men and artillery to bear
upon it. It is a structure that has
been thrown up since the beginning of
the war, a short distance within the
Tennessee line, on the Tennessee River.
It was designed at first as a defence
against marauding excursions of
the enemy, and was never expected to
resist a heavy bombardment, or assault
from a large land force. To have manned
it with a very large land force of
our own, and have armed it with a sufficient
number of heavy guns to enable
it to be held under any assault, would
have required too great a dissipation of
our strength and extension of our lines.
The enemy has taken this fort, as he,
will take other points of importance on
the line of navigable waters. His great
strength in artillery and in boats give
him the power to do so. These things
we cannot well avoid; but when he
marches against us on dry land, then
is our opportunity, and then our occasion
for punishing him properly.
The destruction of the railroad bridge
which crossed the Tennessee river near
Fort Henry, though productive of some
inconvenience, is not a matter of any
greaf detriment to our interests. The
road without the bridge will still be available
for strengthening our lines
on either side of the river, through
connection, except for mere convenience,
being a matter of inferior importance.
While it would have been a subject
of lively gratification, if our troops
could have held Fort Henry, its loss is
not a matter to cause any serious concern.?Richmond
Dispatch.
Tne Capture of Port Henry.
Though the capture of Fort Henry
by the Federalists is an encouraging
triumph to them, and a serious loss to
the Confederates, it is by no means as
disastrous in its consequence as might
appear on a first glance. The fort is
an open earthwork, and not easily defended
against a fleet of gun-boats, so
large as that brought by the enemy to
bear against it. ft is situated on the
I Tennessee River, near the State line,
!we think, and was, doubtless, intended
as a protection to the railroad bridge,
which crosses the river at Danville. If
that was its object, it has proved a failure,
as the enemy have not only cap[
tured the fort, but have also burned the
ibridge. This is a serious loss to us;
[but communication between Columbus ;

cut off "by trus movement. There are
one or two other routes connecting '
these two important positions, not so
convenient as the one interrupted, it is
true, but still sufficient to keep up communication
between them.
The enemy will hardly dare to leave
his gun-boats. Along the river, he
may be, for a time, invincible; but away
from the protection of his vessel,
it will not be so difficult to thwart his
designs, and defeat and rout his forces.
And it is not at all improbable, even,
that this expedition on the Tennessee
River may be cut off by our troops from
Columbus and Bowling Green; at all
events, we do not perceive any cause ]
for discouragement in this disaster.?
The position will not be a comfortable ,
one to the Yankees.
In this connection, we may add that (

Recognition of the Southern Con- ,
federacy.?The news from Europe
gives us new hope that we shall scop <
be recognized by the great powers of .
Europe. The Paris correspondent of .
the New York Times writes under 1
date of January 19: - .
I am in the possession of information j
which establishes, beyond a doubt, that ]
this Government is bent upon the recog- (
nition of the South. It has, within j
the last two weeks, repeatedly urged
this course upon England, and may
succeed in persuading the Palmerston
Cabinet to meet its views. The Wash- ]
ington Government must ajyn at once, 1
coast defences must be attended to, ]
and, above all, a strong, efficient navy
be at once equipped.
As a sign of the times, I may state 1
that a brochure, entitled The Recogni- ]
tion of the South, will appear to-mor- \
row at Denton's, the publisher of govern- 1
mental pamphlets, and that this new
brochure is ostensibly the work of M. 1
Grandguillot, editor of the Pays, but '
is in reality the work of some government
arrihp and is fathered bv Grand
WW wj V - ,
guillot as a well recognized servant of
Persigny's administration. Of course, '
the brochure is but a straw to see which
way the popular breeze blows.
Let me urge on you again not to '
place reliance upon any good will that j
France may be supposed to feel towards
you. H*er present rulers are
your enemies. Beware of France. She
will surely act with England against you.
Our Privateersmbn Released and 1
to be Treated as Prisoners of War.
?A Washington dispatch, dated the 2d,
says: v
On Friday last, the Secretary of
State directed the release from Fort J
Lafayette of all the persons taken from 1
on hoard of the vessels violating the i
blockade, which order has been un- '
doubtedly executed. \
Hon. Alfred Ely, member of Con- 1
g-ess from New York, late prisoner at
ichmond, had an interview with the
^ ' * n * C% J |
Jf resident ana secretary oewaru Yesterday,
and it has been determined to
place the rebel privateers, now in New
York and Philadelphia, upon a footing
of prisoners of war. An order has
been issued removing them to military
prisons, with a view to their exchange
for citizens of the United States incarcerated
in the South.
A general exchange of all the prisoners
will, it is believed, speedily follow.
The interview of Mr. Ely, in
conjunction with several of his associate
members of the House of .Representatives,
was not only interesting, but J
iB described as affecting. ,
He-enlistment?Election of Officers. ]
The Richmond Examiner of the 7th 1
inst. says:. We have received a cov
siderable amount of correspondence
from soldiers in the camps, inquiring
as to their rights to elect new officers
when re-enlisting for the war. For the
purpose of replying to these inquiries,
and of correcting wnat we believe to be
a very general popular mistake in this
matter, we make the following explanation
of the law as it has been construed
by the Secretary of War :
Where the members of any company
re-enlist to the number of sixty-four or
more, they have the right to elect such i
officers as they please, and to make a (
new company organization. It had
been popularly supposed that, if the J
old officers were not re-elected, they j
lost their commissions in the Confeder- j
ate service; but, under a recent ru- i
ling of the Secretary of War, it is
decided that they will not lose their
commissions or rank, but- may be de- :
tailed to other service by the President.
" Quite a Difference.?We find the '
following in a recent issue of the Vicksburg
Daily Whig:
"We yesterday received a shipment
of twenty bundles of printing paper,
for which we paid four Hundred and <
forty dollars. Eighteen months since
the same amount of paper of a better
quality would have cost two hundred |
dollars. Our subscribers can judge j
from this whether we can send papers (
without pay in advance."
As in Mississippi, so it is here and
elsewhere in the Southern Confederacy.
And yet, every day, a grumbler on a 1
large scale is encountered, who declares
that the price of newspapers is too
high for the times.?Petersburg Ex- ,
