LOCAL AFFAIRS. gsa?*A letter from Samuel Tice, one of ihe prisoners taken on the 2d of July last, during tl>e tl)ree months service under Lieut. Hutchinson, addressed to Porter Hawker, was received last week. It is da ted Salisbury, North Carolina, April, and states himself and other prisoners are all well. He says he has written home often and got no answer, ascribing it however to the proper cause, their not receiving his letters. He sends his respects to all in quiring friends, and asks his father to send him " a gold dollar to look at for past time." Jlis direction is " Samuel Tice, prisoner of war, Co. I, 15th Pa. regt., Salisbury, North Carolina. He adds—" We have a hard life of it here; I hope we will be released 99 Gen. Burnsidc, it will be remembered, released 2,300 prisoners taken at lloanoke, with the understanding that all the pris oners then held by the rebels, being a much less number, should be exchanged; but the cutthroat crew at Richmond have thus far failed to fulfil their part, and still keep our men in prisons. It is also worthy of re mark, that while northern locofocos have much to say about tlie Union as it was, and about confining northern tories to prevent their aiding the rebels, not one of these constitution loving editors that we remem ber has ever denounced the southern trai tors for these brutal acts to one-half the ex tent that they do the government at Wash ington.

A Letter from Colonel Corcoran. RICHMOND, Virginia, April 19-, ISG2. My Ever Dear friend —Your letter of the oth inst. readied me, and I avail myself of the earliest opportunity to reply. I feel deep regret for the sad intelligence it conveys to my highly esteemed friend and fellow prison er, Lieut. Dempsey. I have been using my best endeavors to console him, and I am hap py to say that lie looks upon the matter in a truly Christian manner. We have been officially notified that it are now detained in consequence of General Wool having failed to comply with term.* of agree ment. lo say that lam not anxious to be honorably released from my present position, would be something more than might be ex pected from human nature, but to say that 1 arn not perfectly content to patiently await proper actkm, would be equally untrue.— '.therefore be not uneasy, foF my health is good and my spirits buoyant, and I hope I may hereafter profit by my present experience. I know and appreciate the vast amount of trouble, fce., that my friends taken in order to obtain my release, and I trust all will be guided by past experience, and iot the matter rest for the future. I am without knowledge of much that transpires. 1 can, perhaps, form no real idea of what prevents my exchange. Yet I know that circumstances arc likely to arise from time to time which may require considerable diplomacy to ar- ! range, and I also know that the matter is en titled to the consideration of our Government, in which I have the most unbounded confi dence. 1 received a letter from Captain McPoor this day, dated at Salisbury, North Carolina, 17th inst. He mentions that himself, Lieuts. Bagley and Gannon, and all our men are in good health. I hope you will write very often. Some may reach nie; and when any comes t) hand, you can scarcely imagine how happy I feel, and how much it relieves the dull monotony of this prison life. i he matter of the election of Lieutenant ; Colonel might, perhaps, be postponed with advantage. I regret Mr. O'Gorman has not accepted. I enclose a letter to Mrs. Corcoran, and with fondest remembrance to all friends, I remain vour ever most attached friend, MICHAEL CORCORAN, Col. G9th Regt. N.

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FICTION— A Dying , Soldier frays for t e President. —Never until we stood by the grave of the Green Mountain boys did we realize how much stranger is truth than fiction. Your leaders will all recollect last summer a private was court martialed for sleeping on hispoet out near Chain Bridge on the Upper Potomac. He was convicted ; his sentence was death ; the finding was approved of by the General and the day fixed for l;is execution. lie was a youth ofqinre than ordinary intelligence; he ' did not beg for pardon, but was willing to i rj;eet his fate. The time drewm ar: the stern ne cessity of war required that an example should be made of some one; bis was an aggravated case. But the case reached the ears of the Pi es- ' jd?nt ; he resolved to save him ; he signed a pardon and sent it out: the day came. " Sup ! pose,'- thought the President, "my pardon has not reached him." The telegraph \xp f s called into requisition : an answer did not , come promptly. "Bring up my carriage," he : ordered. It came, and soon the important ! State papers were dropped, and through the i hot broiling sun and dusty roads he rode to j the camp, about ten pjiles, and saw that the ; soldier was saved ! He has doubtless forgot ; ten the incident, but the soldier did not. — i When the Thiid Vermont charged upon the I rifle pits, the enemy poured a volley upon ; tjjeni. The first man who fell, with six bul j lets in his body, was Wm. Scott, of Company j K. Ilis comrades caught him up, and aside j life bUod ebbed away, he raised to heaven, ( amid the din of war, the cries of the dying, and the shouts of the enemy, a prayer for the President, and as he died he remarked to his comrade that he had shown he was no coward and not afraid to die. He was interred, in the presence of his regiment, in a little grove about two miles to the rear of the Rebel fort, in the centre of a group of holly and vines. A few cherry-trees, in full bloom, are scattered round the edge. In digging his grave a skull apd bone? were found, and metal buttons, chowing that the identical spot had been used jn the Revolu tionary war for ( ur father?. w£o fell in the same cause. The Chaplain narrated the cir cumstances to the boys, who stood around with uncovered heads. He prayed for the President, and paid the most glowing tribute to his noble heart that we ever heard.— The tears started in their eyes as the clods of earth were thrown upon him in his narrow grave, where he lay shrouded in his coat and blanket. The men separated; in a few minutes all were engaged in something around the camp, as though nothing had happened unusual ; but that scene will live upon their memories while life lasts; the calm look of Scott's face, the seeming look of satisfaction he felt, still lingered ; and could the President have seen hiui he would have felt that his act of mercy had been wisely bestowed. But the cannon's roar is to be heard towards Yorktown, and we must be off to the scene.— Philadelphia In quirer. B@uAt St. Louis some secesh wenches as sembled at the house of one Wm. Bell, wav ed rebel flags, and indulged in other mani festations of sjmpathv for the prisoners then passing and insult to National troops. The Provost Marshal learning the facts, sent a guard to prevent all ingress and egress to and from BH's hqiise, thus making it a pris on for the confinement of i£? inmates until further orders. When fhs of provis ions in the house gives out, the women will be eerved with army rations like othor pris oporp.
