THE MISSISSIPPI SQUADRON,
Interesting Report of its Operations by
Admiral Porter.
Washikotok, March 16.—Admiral Porter en
close* a oommunioation Irom Lieutenant Com
mander Thomas O. Selfrldgc, or the gunboat Cones
toga) operating on the lower Mississippi, in which
he state's that, having learned there was a large
amount of cotton belonging to the rebel Govern
ment, under a small guard, not far from where the
Old river intersects the main levee, he landed on
the morning of the lath of February, with forty-five
seamen and some contrabands, and, after a march
of six miles, found the cotton, and would have cap
tured the guard, but for the accidental discharge of
a musket.
On their way back they were considerably an
noyed by Texan cavalry. He captured 32 bales of
eotton, 20 mules and several horses, and took pri
soners Colonel C. H. Tyldr and Major J. P. O’Brien,
of the rebel provisional army. The day previous he
destroyed twenty-four hogsheads of sugar at Cross
river, which was teo bulky to be taken on board.
Admiral Porter also encloses a report from Lieu
tenant Commander Green, of the United States
steamer Battler, dated off Hurricane Island, Febru
ary istb. He says: I have informed you iu a pre
vious letter; that detachments of about 200 negro
troops have Seen stationed at Waterproof making
it a d£p6t felnegroes, cattle, Ac. This has aroused
the indignation of the rebela, and on the 14th a force
of about eigw'ihundred cavalry, of Harrison’s com
mand, made an attack upon the post, drivlng'in the
pickets and pressing the troops very hard. Fortu
nately for them, the Forest Bose was preseat. Capt.
Johnston immediately opened a rapid fire upon them,
which drove them away. He got his vessels under
way and shelled the enemy wherever his guns would
bear.
They hastily retreated to the woods. This affair
lasted from three to five o’elook P. M, At eight F.
M. the enemy attempted to make a dash into the
town, but Capt. Johnston, who was well posted as
to their approaeh, drove them baek. Bight dead
rebels and five prisoners were left In our hands. Our
loss was five killed and two wounded.
Captain Johnston says that some of the negroes
fought well, but, for want of proper discipline, the
majority did not.
Lieutenant Commanding Green arrived with the
Battler after tbe fighting was over. He then pro
ceeded to Natchez, reported the facta to the com
mander of that post, and asked him to send us rein
forcements.
On the next morning he despatched two hundred
men and some howitzer ammunition to Water
proof. Upon arriving at Waterproof, on the 16th,
be found that in the morning the enemy, who had
teen reinforced in the night, and whose forces now
consisted of two regiment* or Infantry, one of ca
valry, and four plecei of artillery, had again at
tacked the poat.
The Forest Bose, whose eommander was ever on
the alert, was ready for them. A few well-directed
ahells stepped them from planting their battery on
the plank road, and drove them off in confusion.
The attempts of the remainder to advance were
frustrated by the Forest Bose.
Captain Johnston says: “ Capt. Anderson asked
repeatedly for me to take his troops.on board and
throw them across tbe river. Ever; request I de
clined, and could only tell him to fight. After I got
the enemy on the retreat he felt more easy, and dis
continued his requests to cross. I do not think
Anderson was intimidated, but by the bad descrip,
tion of his officers and incapacity ol his men, he
became panic-stricken.”
The ram Switzerland arrived about the close of
the fight, and joined them.
Tbe rebel loss, as far as is known, was seven
killed and a number wounded, who were taken off.
Several prisoners were captured, among them a
lieutenant, and taken to Harrisonburg.
Our loss was three killed and twelve wounded.
In the two days’ fight the Forest Bose expended
270 (belli.
Under date of February 16th he aayi: •< I have
received a despatch from Johnston, dated the 15th
at 10 P. M., which say s the rebels have made another
and final attack on Waterproof. He sent a few
shells, whieh caused them to retire. They retreated
toward Harrisonburg, burning the bridges behind
them. Theiebels cannot stand the fire ol the gun
boats.”
Later, he say* everything Is quiet, but they have
information that the rebels are making preparations
for an attack on the contraband oamp opposite
Vicksburg. The negro troops at Waterproof have
been committing many outrages.

the 17th of February in two detachments, one under
command of Aeting Master E. G. Weeks, and the
other in charge of Acting Encign J. <3. Koehlen,
The salt works being some seven miles in extent, the
first detachment commenced at one end of the line,
the other at the other. A. day and a night of unre
mitting labor was spent in the work of destruction,
when the expedition returned safely to the vessel,
having marched through swamps and denae woods a
distanoe of forty miles, and successfully accomplish
ed the objeet of the undertaking.
On the 37th, a week later, a second expedition was
planned, and carriedthrough with equal success, the
object heir gto destroy some Government works at
Goose Greek, some ten milea distant. The party
was, in this case also, in charge of Acting Master
Weeks, and the works to be destroyed were under
the protection of a rebel cavalry company, whose
plokets the expedition succeeded in eluding. Twelve
prisoners were brought oif, one the captain of an in

Jefferson Davis Recommends Another Day
of Fasting and Humiliation.
THE BEBEL ARMIES IN THE SOUTHWEST.
From tbfl Rlohmond Sentinel of M&fch 14th, th 6
Enquirer of the 9th, 10th, 11th, and 12th, and the
Whig of the 13tb, despatched from Fortress Monroe
to the editors of The Press, the following important
extracts are made:
.PROCLAMATION BY THIS PRESIDENT OP THE CON'
FEDERATE STATES OP AMERICA*
The Senate and House of Representatives of the
Confederate States of America have signified their
desire that a day may be recommended to the people
to be set apart and observed as a day of humilatton,
fasting, and prayer, in the language following—to
wit •
Reverently recognizing the Providenoe of God
in the affairs of man, and gratefullyjemembering
the guidanoe, support, and delivefifeSoe gsaated.to
our patriot fathers in the which
resulted in tbe Independence of the American. Colo*
Bier, and now reposing in Him our supreme confi
dence and hope in the present straggle for olvil and
religious freedom, and for the right to live under a
Government of our own choice, and deeply im
pressed with the conviction that without Him no
thing is strong, notblogwisedand nothing enduring ;
In order that the people or this Confederacy may
have the opportunity at the same time of offering
their adoration to the great Sovereign of the Uni
verse, of penitently confessing their sins and
strengthening their vows and purposes of amend
ment in humble reliance upon His gracious and
almighty power;
“The Congress of the Confederate States of
America do resolve, That it be recommended to the
people of these States, that Friday, the Bth day of
April next, be set apart and observed as a day of
humiliation, fasting, and prayer, that Almighty God
would so preside over our public counsels and au
thorities ; that He would so inspire our armies and
their leaders with wisdom, courage, and perse
verance ; and so manifest Himself in the greatness
of His goodness and majesty ofHis power, that we
may be safely and successfully lea through the
chastening to whioh we are being subjected, to the
attainment of an honorable peaoe; so that while we
enjoy the blessings of a free and happy Govern
ment, we' may ascribe to Him the honor and the
glory of our independence and prosperity.”
A recommendation so congenial to the feelings of
the people will receive their hearty concurrence;
and it is a grateful duty to the Executive to unite
with their representatives in inviting them to meet
in the courts of the Most High. Recent events
awaken fresh gratitude to the Supreme Ruler of
nations. Our enemies have suffered repeated defeats ,
and a nefarious scheme to hum and plunder our capital ,
and to destroy our civil government by putting to death
the chosen servants of the people, has been baffled and .set
at naught . Our armies nave been strengthened $ our
finances promise rapid progress to a satisfactory
condition *, and our whole country it animated with
a hopeful spirit and a fixed determination to achieve
independence.
In these circumstances it beoomes us, with thank
ful hearts, to bow ourselves before the throne of the
Most High, and while gratefully acknowledging so
many meioiea, confess that our sins as a people
have justly exposed us to His chastisement* Let
us recognize the sufferings which we have been
called upon to endure, as administered by a fatherly
hand for our improvement, and with resolute cou
rage and patient endurance let us wait on Him lor
out deliverance.
In furtherance of these objects, now, therefore, I,
Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States
of America, do issue this my proclamation, calling
upon the people of the said .States, in conformity
with the desire expressed by their representatives,
to »et apart Friday, tbe Bth day of April, as a day
of humiliation, fasting, and prayer; and, 1 do here
by invite them, on that day, to repair to their seve*
ral places of public worship, and beseech Almighty
God “to preside over our public counsels and so in
spire our armies and leaders with wisdom, courage,
and perseverance; and so to manifest bimseU in tb£
Sreatness of His goodness and in the majesty of
Lis power, that we may seoure the blessings of an
honorable peace and of free government; and that
we, as a people, may ascribe all to the honor and
glory of His name.”
ro _. T Given under my hand and the seal of the
I ’ BHAL J Confederate 0 nfed e rate States of America, at the city
of Richmond, on this 12th day of March, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty

SECTIONAL NATIONALITY CONFEDERACY VS.

[From the Richmond! Buqalrer. 1
The “independence” of each of the States com'
posing the Confederate States is as complete and
lull as that of each of the States composing the
United States; but their right to a place among the
nations of the earth is contested by the United
States, and tbej are fighting for this right with the
.firm purposeto conquer it. They are not - fighting
lor the in dependence of the “several States,” but for
“Southern sectional nationality ” and the people and
the armies regard it as both “a necessity during the
war,” and as “ a desideratum in peace.”
The Register is entitled to its “ creed,” and to its
«« views,” and “purposes,” and “ ideas but we
protest against being dragged Into them, We hold
nothing In common with the "creed of the Regis

On the Uth, tbe Virginia Legislature adjourned.
In his parting speech, Mr. Speaker Sheffey, of the
House of Delegates, said ;■
“I cannot dose without saying, gentlemen, a
word o 1 one of those men of history, whom tbe
Si eaent rarely comprehends; one who, in his daily
fe, makes events that will never die. I refer to the
President of the Confederate States. We know.him
better now thsn we did two years sgo. He came I
into our midst a stranger. He was said to be a man i
reeerved in temper, stern indisposition, self-reliant,
honest, though it was often alleged obstinate and
wrong-headed. We have seen him since, tolling in
his office, wrapped, as it were, in a misty obscurity, ,
fceneatb which the popular eye rarely penetrated, I
confess I have felt profound sympathy for bim in
these his bidden toils—toiling, as he does, night and
day—ever fof the welfare of the country, and, as oc
casional courteay lifted the curtain that surrounded
him, gleams of the mind, the heart, the purpose of
the man appeared —gleams of character and resolu
tion whieh have always given encouragement, and
inspired the hearts of the people, I thank God that
Virginia, true to the eourteaies of her ancient hos
pitality, has never-uttered one word, or done one
act, calculated to add a feather’s weight to the bur
den of his cares. Our people have trusted him];
our women honor end revere him; our armies would
die for him; Europe esteems and appreciates him,
and posterity will exalt him to the position be is
destined to fill as one of the great men of the age.
[Applause.] In him and the gallant and immortal
leaders that surround and sustain him, we may rest
the tiust of our honor and independence with con
fidence.”
MEBBAGE OH THH GOVERNOR OH GEORGIA—PEACE
ON CBBTAIN TBBMB.
Governor Brown’s message was read at MUledge
vlllc on the loth. It concludes:
“Lincoln has declared that Georgia and other
Statea are In rebellion to tbe Federal Government,
the creature of the States, which they could destroy
as well as create. In authorizing war, he did not
seek to restore the Ur lon under the Constitution as
It was, by confining the Government to a sphere of
limited powers. They have taken one hundred thousand
negroes, which cod half a million of whites four thou
sand millions of dollars, and now seek to repudiate
self-government—subjugate Southern people, and
confiscate their property- The statement of Lin
coln, that we offer no terms of adjustment, is made
an artful pretext that it is impossible to say when
tbe war will terminate, butthat negotiation, not the
sword, will finally terminate it.
“We should keep before the Northern people the
idea that we are ready to negotiate, when they are ready
and will recognize our right to self-government, and
the sovereignty ol the States. After each victory , our
Government should make a distinct offer of peace on these
terms, and should the course of any State be doubled, let
the armed force be withdrawn , and the ballot box decide.
If this is refused even a dozen times, renew it, and
keep before the North and the world that our ability
to defend ourselves for many years has been proved.
Should Lincoln boast of his numerical superiority,
let him be reminded of the reply of King Isaret to
Benbadad: ‘Let not him that girdetb. on harness
boast himself as he that putteth it off.”’
The “peace” recommendation in the above was
first moved in the Georgia Legislature by the Hon
Linton Stephens, brother of Vice President Ste

Houston, Feb. 11.— Military movements on our
coast do not appear to progress with much spirit.
The Yankees have done nothing worth speaking of
for a month past. They hold possession of Indiauo
la, at Deokrow’s Point, the end of Matagorda Pen
insula, at Salurla, at Aransas Pass, and at Browns
ville. TMIr entire force at these places Is variously
estimated at from seven to twenty thousand. It is
probable that the smeller number Is nearest the

would allow, and no property has been destroyed except
that of one or two absent rebels, who will get the

A Capture.— On Thursday night, a party from
General Young’s oommand crossed the Rapldan,at
Germanna Ford, surprising the enemy’s pickets,
severely wounding one and oapturing ten, who were
brought down on the Fredericksburg train last eve- •
ning, A more filthy .looking set of vagabonds could
hardly be found outside of the Five Pounta of New
X 0 1“ than the above mentioned apeolmens of
Meade’s army.
ATITUDB, “ Bi> hop Johns, of the diocete of
Virginia, accused a Dr. GoldsboroUgh, U. S. sur
geoD, and prisoner at Riohmond, with base ingrati
tude, in a communication to “the Hon. Secretary
of War of the United States.” The Rev. Mr. Johns
says: “I had repeatedly visited him during his con
finement, and was permitted to proffer to him and
others similarly situated any assistance which I
deemed proper. He invariably replied to my inqui
ries that he was furnished with everything which a
prisoner of war could expect.” Bishop Johns also
interested himself in obtaining a parole for the
prisoner, and Dr. G. told hfm that he felt no enmity
toward the South, &o. “And yet this man with a
worthy name, which be should have changed before
prostituting it by ingratitude and falsehood, had
scarcely reached his home when he began to utter
the grossest misrepresentations as to the treatment
to which his fellow-prisoners and himself had been
subjected.” Bishop Johns further relates his phllan
tbroplo visit to Libby Prison, and testifies to the ex
cellent condition of the prisoners.
Parting Address of Libutbnant General
Hood to bis odd Division.— At date of Columbia,
S. c., Feb. 22, General Hood concludes an interest
leg address as follows:
“A stem conflict is before us; other hardships
must be borne, other battles fought, and other blood
shed; but we have nothing to fear if we only prove
ourselves worthy of independence—it is ours, but
our armies must deliver ua. With them we must
blaze a highway through our enemieß to victory and
to peace. In the trials and dangers that are to
come, I kfiow you will claim an honorable share
and win new titles to the admiration and love of
your country} and in the midst of them, whether I
am near you or far from you, my heart will be
alyvays there; and when this struggle is over, I
shall look upon no spectacle with so much pleasure
as upon my old comrades, who have deserved so
well of their country, crowned with its blessings
and encompassed by its love.

" Lieutenant General.”
The Mi&sUsipptan is informed that a Mr. Jarman,
a highly respectable and gallant gentleman, residing
in the neighborhood of Aberdeen, was captured and
shot by Grierson in his recent raid. After he was
dead, the fiend severed his head from his body, quar
tered him, and left his remains hanging by the road
side l Their exouse for the hellish act was that Mr.
Jarman and a few others had fired on them in their
passage through the country. According to the re
port of General Forrest, Grierson’s loss was 800;
126 killed outright, 60 mortally wounded, 100 severe
ly and slightly, and the rest prisoners. Our loss 26
killed.
From: Florida,— The enemy, iu their retreat,
After the battle of Ocean Pond, threw away 130,000
cartridges, whioh were picked up by our troops.
The powder being wet was valueless, but the balls
were taken oare of.
Confirmations. —The officers and soldiers near
Richmond, desiring to be are notified that
confirmation will be administered by Bishop Johns,
in the churches of Richmond, as follows: March
20tb, 11 A. M’, St. Paul's Church; March 23d, 8 P.

Funding.— Up to Monday night there had been
funded iu four-pebcent. bonds $737,100 with the De
positary in Petersburg. In Raleigh, we learn that
up to Saturday night upwards of $600,000 had been
funded.
Escaped Prisoners. —Twenty-five Yankees es
caped from a number of prisoners under guard at
Kittrell’s D6p6t, thirty-six miles north of Raleigh,
on Sunday night.
Vice President Stephens was serenaded in
Augusta, on Friday night, when he made a short

He obtained it of Ms landlord: Take three buckets

end a small beef-bone, and put them in a large pot,
over the smoke. When the pot boils, stir with a
tallow candle and add one pint of common salt, that
has been used in pickling pork.
Hard Cubrbncy.— ln view of the scarcity of
email bllle, aod the high prioe of nails, Smith sug
gests that tenpenny nails be used for dimes. This
would relieve the business' community, and give uc
a currency of solid basis. By this suggestion Smith
protests that he does not desire to revive old politi*
cal issues.

CorsssACKS, Feb. 27.—Tbe address of the Bln

jeaty desired the presence of all the members on
that occasion.
In reply to the address his Majesty said:
“ I thank you for the expression of your fidelity.
Belying upon you, and upon the loyalty of the Danish
people, I shall firmly adhere to my pollsy, and hold
out to the utmost of my power. I snail make every
effort to obtain such conditions of peace as may
be beneficial to Denmark: I will admit of no abo
lition of the exiating political connection between
the kingdom and Schleawlg. I wish to be a free
king over a free people. A king Is only free when his
country is independent, and when the constitutional
condition is maintained and developed. God grant
that at my death this epitaph may deservedly be In
scribed on my tomb, 'A truer heart never beat for
Denmark.’”

ADDBESS OP THB DANISH BIQSBAAD TO KINO
• CHRISTIAN.
Both Houtei of the Rigiraad puied an address to
King Christian on the 26th ult. The draft was
unanimously approved by the Lands thing; the
Folkethingdldnot accept it until after a lengthened
debate, and the rejection of several amendments.
Tbe following is the full text of the address:
Most Gbagious Sovbbbign : In the deep sor
row of the Danish people at the sudden decease of
your illustrious predecessor, it was a consolation
and a solace to behold your Majesty treading in the
footsteps of our late lamented monareh, by securing
our freedom and independence in opposition to the
representations and demands of tbe foreigner to
withdraw Ihe Constitution of the 18th November
last. The outbreak of war, however, soon destroyed
tbe hope of a peaceful development of oar affairs.
Alter tbe German Confederation, under pretense
of an execution, had oeoupled Holstein and Lsuen
burg, the German duchies of your Majesty, with
federal troops, and under thelrproteotlon, permitted
a revolution to the advantage of a pretender, the
great Powers of Germany have sent their armies
aeross the frontiers of the kingdom of Denmark.
This step, as they assert, has been taken in order to
seize as a pledge tbe Danish oountry of Schleswig,
Which was iii 1T 2 1 ?n«e more incorporated aqd jjnv
rahteed to the Danish mown, And direr which neither
Germany nor her great Powers have ever possessed
the right of guardianship. After two honorable en
gagements our biave army yielded to superior num
bers, and abandoned the frontier fortress we had
held a thousand years, and is now only in possMsion
of a small portion or Schleswig. The enemy has
overrun tbe portion o? this country, and
has suffered loreign bands and rebellious subjects to
drive away many faithful servants or your Majesty,
and to overthrow legal order. Within the laet few
days, Indeed, Intelligence hae been reoelved that he
has also invaded the province of Jutland.
Moat gracious sovereign—In such serious circum
stances your majestj's faithful Landsthing (Polba
thing) feels tbe necessity of expressing Itself frankly
and without reserve towards its king, In the name
of the people by whom it has been chosen. A war
against superior numbers will require great and
heavy sacrifices; but, where confidence reigns be
tween king and people, will be waged in the hope of
a fortunate result, in this solemn hour we must
seek consolation in the fact, that the cause or sne
people Is the cause of tbe king; that your majerty
WUlfaithfully protect our freedom and indepenaenoe,
and will never permit that in fut “™
abould be extended across the frontiers of Denmark,
or the connexion between the kingdom and Schles
wig be weakened uponl any pretextjfA, people

General Halleck,
[From the JTew York Times.]
General Army Order No. 98, which we gave iu
our issue of yesterday, that “ Major General
Halleck is, at his own request, relieved from duly
as General-in-Chief of the army.” This request of
the General may be misunderstood by the public
without some explanation. The act of Congress of
Apiil 4, 1862, authorizes the President to assign to
commands officers of different rank, but not of dif
ferent grade . General Halleok was assigned, under
this act, to command as General-in-Chief, although
there were other major generals of prior date Now,
however, when the higher grade of lieutenant gene
ral has been crested, Gen. Halleok could not retain
bis command as General In-Chief because the aot
does not allow him to command an officer of higher
grade, like Lieut. Gen. Grant. Gen. Halleok was
the first to point out this difficulty after the higher
grade had been conferred on his friend, not, indeed,
In the spirit of dissatisfaction, but as a matter of
law. Halleok rejoiced in Grant’s promotion—no
one probably more than he did —and at the time that
he pnowed the lmpossibUity of his remaining Ge
neral-in-Chief, expressed his willingness to serve In
any other position which the Government- might
think proper to assign to him. He did not throw
up his appointment in dudgeon. Had Gen. Halleok
lived in those times when popular wit or favor be
stowed characteristic titles on publio men, be might
not inaptly have been called the “Unambitious."
There is perhaps no officer in the army that wears
his breast-buttons parted into threes, who is leu
ambitious, aad more ready to serve in any capacity,
so that he can serve his oountry.
The Enrolment of Slaves—Address or the
Governor of Kentucky.
Louisville, March 16 —Governor Bramlctte has
just issued the following addreu to the people o(
Kentucky:
11 Fellow-citizens : In view of the disturbance of
tbe popular mind, produced by the enrolment ef
slaves for tbe army in Kentucky, it is deemed pru
dent to make the following suggestions for the bene
fit and guidance of the loyal people of Kentucky:
“ Your indignation should not move you to com
mit aots of vlolenoe, nor to unlawful resistance.
Standing, as we have stood and will ever stand, for
the Constitution, the Union, and the enforcement of
the laws, we must repel the efforts of rebellion to
oveitbrow our Government by our gallant soldiers
in the field, and meet and correct UDjust or uncon
stitutional legislation by legal appeals to the consti
tutional tribunals of the Government, and through
the ballot-box in the constituted modes overthrow
those who pervert or abuse the trust committed to
them.
“This is the only true mode of maintaining the
Constitution, the Union, and enforcement of the
’ laws. The mere act of enrolling the names of slayes
does not aftcct any right of the citizen. No draft
has been ordered, nor do we know that a draft will
be ordered. It may or it may not. We should abide
by and maintain the law, and pursue the modes pro
vided for the remedy it affords.
“If any violence or wrong to the person or pro
perty of the citizens be committed, to any officer or
soldier, against the known laws of the land, make
your accusation in the mode prescribed bylaw, and
if the commanding officers refuse or neglect it, use
your utmost endeavors to correct the officer or sol
diers under his command so aceused, and hand him
or them over to a civil magistrate for trial.
“ 'When tffioially advised of the facts, the Execu
tive of tbe State will prefer charges and demand a
court-martial. In tbe Union, under the Constitu
tion, and in accordanoe with law, assert and urge
your rights. It is our duty to obey the law until it
is declared by judicial decision to I>e unconstitu
tional. The citizen whose property may be taken
under it for public use will be entitled, under the
imperative mandate of the Constitution, to a just
compensation for his private property so taken for
public use.
“Although the present Congress does not do
justice, yet it is safe to rely upon the justice of the
American people, and an appeal to them will not be
unheeded or unanswered.
“Peace restored and-the unity of our Govern
ment preserved, will drive to ignominious distance
those who, in the agony of our conflict, perverted
their sacred trusts to the base uses of partisan ends
and fanatical purposes.
“Uphold and maintain your Government as con
stituted, and obey and enforce its just demindaAS
the only hopeof perpetuating free institutions.
, “THOS, E. BRAMLEITE.

Thb Gettysburg Battle-field.— David Wills.
E»q., of Gettysburg, tbe General Agent of Philadel
phia for the Soldiers’ National Cemetery, gives the
following interesting faots relative to the battle
field : All the bodies of our Union soldiers have been
disinterred, and carefully burled In their appropriate
places In the new National Cemetery. The total
number thus removed and interred is three thousand
five hundred and twelve. About one thousand of
them are unknown, and one-fourth of the whole
number belong to New York. Quite an amount of
money was also found on them, both in coin and
paper, in sums ranging from the fraction of a dollar
up to fifty dollars. All this money and these relios
have been taken care of by the committee.
IVlonttmknt to Gbs. Bbtnoeds. — Mr. Wills fur
ther states that he received on Saturday a letter
from the eommlttee of the Ist Army Corps, stating
that the members of said eorps had now raised a
sufficient sum of money to erect a suitable monu
ment somewhere on the battle-field where General
Beynolda fell, and asking Mr. Wilis to designate the
most elligible and appropriate epot whereon to erect
it, The committee favors the Idea ef building this
monument upon the spot where General Beynolda
fell, but it being rather obscure and out of the wav,
Mr. Wills has suggested- an elevated location In
the cemetery, originally , designed for euoh a pur
pose.
The Bbbbi. Dbad AtG**ttSßUßO.— From evi
dence developed to the workmen and others engaged
in removing the dead bodies on the battle-field, they
are now fully oonvlnotd that -not less than seven
thousand rebels lost their lives in this oonflfct, the
bodice of whom are still -there. In one space of
three acres was found three hundred and twenty
five Confederate elaln; and elsewhere, in a single
trenob, two hundred and fifty more. A considerable
portion of the battle-ground is likely to be ploughed
up this spring and summer, by farmers owning It,
preparatory to planting corn and other grain, as a
matter of course, the Confederate graves must be
obliterated, and the trenehes wbion now indicate
their burial plaees. There le a strong desire with
the people, in respeot to humanity, to have tbese
bodies, though of the enemy, respectfully and de
cently put away, in some enclosure where they may
not be disturbed.
Spotted Fever.— Spotted fever broke out in
Herrick township, Susquehanna county, two weeks
sinoe. and at the last report nineteen of the resi
dents had died. In one family six persons had fallen
victims to the disease, and in another four. A cor
respondent gives tbe following remedy: Hearing of
the ravages that the blaok or spottedfever Is making
in your county and yleinlty, prompts me to let the
Seople of Susquehanna county know; of a remedy
lat saved many lives in Vermont over fifty years
ago. Tbe same disease broke out there, and proved
fatal, until one ease ocourred In whloh no doctor
could be had. They tried sweating the patient by
boiling hemlock boughs and placing the patient over
the steam, and siving him hemlook tea to drink,
both hot and strong, which toon produced perspira
tion. All that followed this prescription got well,
and hardly a family went to bed without a good
quantity of hemlock boughs that could be used in
cate of necessity.
