unanimously adopted:—
The members of this company have been in

inadequate to the duty required on this occasion.
To know that Andrew J. Miller is no longer,
living, and that hereafter he will be no more among

A SKETCH OF A NOTED REBEL.
A. former iriendof General Jeff. Thompson,
who has known him from early boyhood; sends
us the following sketch of that celebrated-rebel
commander. It will be.observed that he at
one time .was a quiet citizen of,, Philadelphia,
engaged in mercantile pursuits; and respected
by a large pnmtier of friends, many df whoni
can bear testimony to the accuracy of this brief
biographical notice: >, :i_ I
General Merriwether Thompson, or as ‘he
% generally':: knotvn, Jeff. .Thompson, ‘Jeff.?
being merely anickname, was bom at Harper’s
. Ferry, Virginia, in the year -1826. His grand?
father was Major Broadus, of revolutionary
fame, who for some years was]. Paymaster
at- Harper’s Ferry, and his father was Captain
Merriwether... Thompson. When the son was
about thirteen years of age, Captain Thompson
removed to Charlestown, Va. I recollect him
well as a boy. He was e ver reckless and daring,
and I do'not believe knew what fear was. iHe
.-was a general favorite with young and old; with
. the .young, because he was ever foremost in Fun
arid frolic, ready to lead wherever, any one
wqnld fojlriw; and uith the old, because in spite
of his recklessness he was -ever willing to give,
them, assistance or attention. Ho was also
energetic and industrious, with no false pride
about work, arid always independent in opinion
and conduct/ Underneath his careless exterior
there, was van undercurrent of sentiment and
. deepfeeling, .that .made him awarm''friend to
those he loved;and to whom alone he showed
.this part, of his nature; mad' only those Who
-knew hiin' intimately dreamed he was ntjirir
than the ‘don’t care’ boy he affected to be.
In short, as MicaWber would say, he. was a
dare devil," bnt possessed efakind heart.
“Hu education was very limited, as'his father
was in reduced circumstances; village schools
being aTI-tbe advantages -he had, but he was
not deficierit4n mental calibre. He was f6r a
while in the mercantile business in Philadelphia,
arid.at one time was a clerk with De Conrsey,
l.afourcade & Co.,'and boarded - over the office
of the Franklin Fire Insurance Company, on
Chestnut street, below. Fifth. From Phila
delphia he removed to the "West, where he was
engaged in Civil Engineering and married; Irat
in.a few years his wife,who had been an actress
and rather eccentric before niarriage, became
deranged. * .
; “In person Jeff. Thompson was tail and Spare,
with a veiy large and ugly mouth; the rest of
his features were tolerably good, and although
generally considered rather good;lookingjhe.was
wont frequently to jest about his homely i ap
pearance. In early youth he becatno afEanced
to one of the belles of Jefferson county, Va.ybut
the Engagement was subsequently broken, and
it is belie Ted this interference with his most
cherished'project influenced his after life, and :
bringing forth his -coarser attributes, gradually
prepared him for the career of a guerilla
leader. He has courage and daring, but no
military genius, and while a determined advo
cate of Southern doctrines, has never practised
inhumanity to his prisoners.”
. ' Horbibee Accident. —On Wednesday after
noon a horrible accident occurred at the sash
and blind factory of Mr. N. J. Fredericks, by
which Margaret Seagraye, a child eight years
years old, lost her life. She was sent on an.
errand, when she accompanied a girl she knew •
to Mr. Fredericks’s factory. While there'.the :
girls went ihtotße yard to swing uponatwo
and a half inch shaft which, projected about
sixteen inches - through the building four feet
from the ground. Margaret stepped on a
wheelbarrow near the sliafhand probably oauglit
her apron and was whirled around at the rate
of 240 revolutions a minute, her head striking
the ground every time. Her clothing was
entirely stripped from her, her skull and its
contents carried away, and both her arms and
legs were.broken. The screams of her com-,
panion attracted,.the attention of Mr. Frede
ricks, the engine was stopped, and the body of
the poor girl, which presented a'sickening
appearance, was taken down.— Newark (N. J. )
Advertiser.
A Surgical Curiosity.— One of the most
singular and astonishing f reaks of -Dame Na
ture; rarely coming under notice, has lately
occurred in the growth of'a horn-like tumor
from the breast of Mr. Joseph Millaway, of
this Bounty. The tumor was situated a little
to the right of the breast-bone, and
made its appearance. some tbree years ago,
in the shape of three horns, which, after
awhile, were shed off like a deer’s antlers, and
like them it re-appeared and grew to be several
inches in length,.with the appearance and
solidity of horn.. A change taking; place: in
the flesh around' the tumor he became alarmed
and, went to Dr.'Charles D. Green, in .Philadel
phia, who removed It. The operation was
vbTy severe, covering a space as large as the
hand,-extending down between the ribs,. Mr.
M!., who resides near Dev6r, has the curiosity
preserved in a bottle, open to the inspection of.
anyone. —Smyrna (Del.) Times. : ' j

EXPEDITION.

[Correspondence of the N. Y. Times; ]
Washington, Thursday, March 3.—General
Kilpatrick crossed theßapidan at Ely’s Ford, : on
Sunday morning at 4o’ clock. He surprised and
captured ihe rebel jiickets, a captain, lieutenant
•and fifteen men on the south, hank of the stream.
,and movedinthe direction ofSpottsylvacia Court
house, stopping for a half hour at Chancellors
ville. The last official intelligence from him was
a despatch dated 11 o’clock morning,
flrom the former place. The despatch was sub
stantially as follows: .
“Twenty-miles' nearer Richmond; Am ,all
-right. Wiirdoubleiny bet of live thousand dollars
that I enter Richmond.”
His command is composed oi picked men, who
are supplied with every engine of destruction that
can possibly be used in a cavalry raid.
1 have good authority, for stating that the War
Department has information Longstreet’s
forces have Arrived at Richmond. "
Kilpatrick’s Cavalry Is bperatihg in three
columns, devastating the. country as they advance.
His force is six thousand strong, and 4ias from
.twenty-four to thirty-six hours* start of the rebel
cavalry.' * Even If he is unsuccessful in capturing
Richmond he will seriously damage the rebels.
'HBAUQUAUTBiiRAnMYOF'rrtn.POToatAO, Thurs
day, March 3.—A1l the. tTObps, who accompanied
General Custer have returned.
Reports prevailed in camp yesterday that Kil
patrick was within. twelve miles of Richmond,
and that he had destroyed' the Central Railroad
west of Hanover Junction, as well as the Frede
ricksburg road.
[Correspondence of theN. Y. Herald.] .
■Washington, March 3,- 1864. —A note from the
Army of the Potomac! dated at halfrpast nine
o’clock this morning, says that messengers have
come tbrongh from General Kilpatrick, whom
they left some ten miles to tlie southward of Han
over Junction on Wednesday Aorning.
The command had most thoroughly and effec
tually destroyed the Virginia Central Railroad,
from Beaver Dam to Hanover Junction, and the
Richmond and Fredericksburg Railroad,
tte Mattapony Bridge to the Pamunkey river—
the entice distance destroyed being over forty
miles. •. • *
• There had been some skirmishing during the ad
vance, but it was conflnedmostiy to the right dank
of General. Kilpatrick’s command. As Wade
Hampton’s rebel cavalry are known to be occu
pying the country to the west of the Jine of march
taken by onr cavalry, it isprobable thathisis the
only rebel force that has.been engaged.
• If the spoliation upon the lines of the two roads
is as complete as represented, General Lee will be
compelled to move his germy from its present posi
tion to. subsist it; for, .unlees the-rebels have
.facilities far greater than any we possess for con
structing railroads, it will take them at'least four
wet ks to repair the damages. . . .AU. reports concur
mestimating that at ho UmAbhiia:General Lee's
army, had a larger eupply tlmnirom six to ten days’
rations on hand, ..
It it reported that General Kilpatrick found the
country through which he passed almost destitute
of iood for noan or beast, and, as his troops’'went
in light-xnarchiJDgofder, hoping toAnd enough at
least to subsist on, he has been compgiled to push
forward wi«h all possibje speed. ;
The rain storm of Monday night and Tuesday
bad been-a great drawback to hi3movements: but,
as it has been clear and cool for the past twoxlsye,
it is hoped that ere this the command* has ar
rived atapolnt where it can at least obtain sun
l>lies. * - • r
[Correspondence.ofthyN. Y. Tribune.]
Wafuixgton, Thursday. March 3, 1564 —Gen.
Kilpatrick left Gulpeper.wt 3 o’ clock on Sunday
morning. By the afternoon'he was at Spottsyl
vania Court.Heuse, capturing the rebel pickets as
he advanced. N**ar Spottsyivamaha. chanced on
Hampton’s Cavalry, whom he vainly endeavored
to coax into a fight. Coi. Ulric Dahigren, with a
Jorce of about 50U, led our advance, leaving Spott
- sylvania Court-House. The column pushed on to
Louisa Court-House,which they reached on Mon
day night; Our. troopers destroyed .the railroad
lor-ieveral miles, and burned : bridges. From
Louisa. Kilpatrick hurried toward the Pamnnkey
river, destroying everything as he went. This is
the JWbujie’j last intelligenco from him. He was
to have been in Richmond on Wednesday morning
at daylight. ~ •
The latest despatch from Kilpatrick; to General
Plcasonion, dated Spousivania Court-House,
fcunday morningvN o'clock, spates that he crossed
the Rapidan at Ely’s Ford a: 4 o’clock a. M.
Sunday, .surprised the pickets asleep, and
capturtd afcaptain, lieutenant and 15 men. The
concluding words of his; _despatch were:
* ‘Twenty miles nearer Richmondi and all right.
Will double my bet of SS,OW that I enter Rich
rnond.” .
. Custer’s diversion on tee’s left decoyed most of
the Tebel cavalry away from Kilpatrick's proposed
line of raid, and will surely give him twenty.four
hours start of Jeb Stewart's tired horses, if they
hur.y back ftom Charlottesville, in pursuit.'
Confidence in Kilpatrick’s success here is weak
ened only by the arrivnlin Richmond re.ently and
unexpectedly oflougstreefs formidable veterans.
As,a part oi the history of this movement,result as
it may, Kilpatrick entreated f C r permission to
make it four weeks ago. -
Halleck opposed it. Meade had to be s'-nt for
and consulted. He opposed it. Kilpatrick was
ready to saddle two weeks ago, when permission
to start was finally conceded. The delay in strik
ing the blow gave time to the rebel Government to
hurry Longetreet back from Tennessee. But Kil
patiiek has 6,200 picked-men and several* mounted
batteries, and,, for rapidity faf motion’, marches in
three columns,and wastes as he goes right and-left
of each of the three lines. The Virginia Central
EAilxond is the one.he is smashing;
. *’Beta’.’ iwriies from the Headquarters of the
Army of the Potomac:
Rumors reached Stevensbnrgyesterday that Kil
patrick Was within fifteen mites of Richmond In
fact, the statement comes from a squad who re
turned, as they say, from Chancellors ville, with
about 20 prisoners, captured pickets.
Thiereturned squad report that up to yesterday
A. M.:Kilpatrick had experienced no considerable
opposition, nor had he discovered the enemy in
force anywhere, his course being southward; ■
Wisiii.ngtox, Thursday, March 3, Evening.—
• ‘Beta” writes, under date of Thursday, luA.
m., Headquarters Army of the Potomaoit
• Avant couriers report that Kilpatrick- will be in
to-day. He has made an extended eirenit to the
southwest, A;o. Large numbei-s of contrabands are
already in. No considerable resistance, as yet,
has been offered to his progress. :
Mr. Gray writes: • 'Scoutsreturning yesterday,
morning from-Kilpatrick reported him on the
night .previous ten miles from Richmond. Kil
patrick is expected in to-day via one of the fords
near Stevensbero. ”
The publication in the Evening Star of KUptt
rick’s being at the White Honse; where Butler h:is
jomed him, is universally discredited here. One
hundrCd contrabands'were brought in on Custer’s
reconnaissance. A econt was sent out to connect
with Kilpatrick's forces, but could not reach or
learn of him, and so returned. r
Later “Beta, ’ ’ who left Gen. Ouster’s head
quarters at Stevensburg this noon, reports the ar
lival there this forenoon, of one of Gen. Kil
patrick’ s sconts. He reports having left onr forces
within fourteen miles of Richmond, and that a
junction had been formed with Gen. Butler’s
stouts. Gen. K.-had destroyed tne tracks and
telegraphs. He reports the blowing up of the
aqui duct bridge, and his progress unchecked by
any serious opposition. Gen. K. sent back three
messengers, by different routes, but up to noon no
other had arrived: :

to your request, I have the honor to
report the following facte in relation to the treat
mentofour,officers and men by the rebel author!--
111.1 18 ?°P os Bihle fof,me to give you an account
?i;?Kvt e act 3 barbarity, inhumanity and badi
lajtnl have witnessed during my captivity, but!
will endeavor to mention such instances as will
give you as correct an idea of the true condition of
our men as possible. On the third day of May
Dear Rome » Georgia, my command having;
become so reduced by hard fighting and
marching during the seven days previous that it
•Whs evident tome that we, about fifteen hundred
officers and men, would fall into the hands of the
enemy, and pfforAoMina council of, war with
-riny regimcawi commanders, it was decided to*
capitulate, and thus secure the best terms possible
for the cominapd as a condition of surrender,
in accordance with this decision, 1 met the
rebel commander, General Forrest, under a flag
of-truce, where a stipulation was entered into be
♦? e * en him myself, whereby it was agreed
that my command should, surrender as pnaon
irs 01 war on the foßowing conditions, tawit:
Fi>f I—Each regiment sho.uld be permitted to retain
their colors. *Sccond—The officers wtre to retain
their, side-arms. Third —Both officers and men.
were to retain their haversacks, knapsacks and
blankets, and all private property of every de
scription was to be respected and retained by the
owner. Ihe above terms were in a measure re
spited while we remained with General Forrest: •
but no sooner were we turned over to the rebel
authorities than a system of robbery commenced
which soon relieved us of everything val
uable in our possession. The blankets, haver
sacks and knapsacks were taken from my men at
Atlanta. They were also robbed of nearly all
their money, and most of them lost their overcoats
ai the above named place. Here,, too. the colors
and side-arms were taken from us. My men were
turned into an Enclosure without shelter of any
kind, destitute of blankets and overcoats, as I have ’
before stated, and kept under gaard for four days,
during which time a most, disagreeable cold.storm
prevailed, after which they were 6ent forward to
Richmoad and r soon.* exchanged.
My officers were sent to Richmond after a stay of.
about ten days in Atlanta. On our arrival' at the
rebel capital, we were all searched separately,and
all moneys found in,.onr possession were taken
from us. For a few day* thereafter we were al
lowed to draw small sum* of onr money for the
purpose of purchasing food But this privilege
was soon denied us. I then asked and obtained
permisiionlrom the rebel authorities for the offi
cers to send home for maimy, clothing and provi
sions. Ihe clcthlng and provisions were, gen
erally delivered to the parties ordering them, pro
vided the package or box containing tnem
was not broken open and rifled of its
contents before it reached its destination, which
wa*>freouently the case. But in no case within
my knowledge has the money been delivered to the
owner. The detention of this money, afier ex
pressly agreeing.tojleliTer it, is an act of perfidy
fihatbeggais description. I have repeatedly called
the attention ef the rebel authorities to the terms of
my' surrender, and demanded that its provisions
b k compiled'with. But General Winder; Com
mandant of the prisoners, took from me the stipu
lations signed by General Forrest, which he still
rttains and refuses to be covered by its provisions.
My officers, together with something near 1,000
other United States officers, are confined in a large
warehouse building, with an average space of
about twenty-fire square feet to each man. This
iucludes all room for washing, cooking, eating,
sleeping and exercising. They have no bunks,
oh aits of seats of any k>nd furnished them, con
sequently theyhoth sit on the .floor.
The windows cf the building were entirely open
until about the middle of > ecember list'
pieces of canvas were furnished for the purpose
of closing them to keep the cold out, bu:
as this would leave us in the dark, we
were compelled, to . leave a portion of them
open and endure the cold. Many of the' officers
wereentirely destitute ol blanket* until our Go
vernment sent a supply to us in the forepan of the *
Winter. Th suppiyof blankets isuow exhausted,
and officers who have been captured daring the -
last els weeke have none furnished them. The ra
Ucins furnished both officers and men by the rebel;
consist of. about one ) onnd of corn tread, made
from unbolted meal, and one fourth of a pound or
poor fiesh meat per day. ihe meat has been issued
to ihe prisoners, but about half of the time
since the. firtt cf December last. In addi
tion to the rations of bread and meat, as abore
Mated, e prisoners draw about two quarts of ric
to one hunared men. There is a sufficient qnan
. tiiy of salt furntehed, and a very small quantity 0
tinegar. I will here remark that in a few in
stances, ray six^rt 1 eight times at most, a small
quantity of sweet potatoes has been issued instead
of the rations of meat. The above is the sum total
of the rations issued to our officers and men
now prisoners of war. The condition of our un
fortunate enlisted men now in the hands of the
enemy is much worse than that of the offi
cers. From early in May last, when I
arrived at Richmond, to abont the Ist of Decera
fctr, allthe enhsted men were taken to wnatis
cnlUd Eel'e Isle, and turned into an inclcsure .
like so many cattle into a slaughter-pen. Very
few ef them uad tents or shelter of any kind, and
ihe few tents furnished, were so poor and leak} as
to render them hut little better than n£ne. All the
prisoners are taken to the Libby wbeu they first
arrive in Richmond, for the purpose of counting
them and enrolling their names, consequently I had
a fair chance to see their condition when they
arrired. Full/ one half of the prisoners
taken since may last were robbed by their capfors
of their ehoes, and nearly all were robbed of their
overcoats, blankets and taversacks. At least one
third of them had been compelled to trade their
pante and blouses for mere rags that would scarcely
hide their nakedness; very many of them were en
tirely bareheaded,and notafew,as late as the mid
dle of December, weie brought in who had nothing
cn but an old pair ol ragged pants and shirt, being
bareheaded,barefooted, and without a blouse, over
coat or banket. I have seen hundreds of ouv men
taken to the hospital/Uius clad,audio adying con
dition. I have frequently visited the hospital,
and have conversed with Ifirgo numbers of dying
men brought there from the island, who assured
; me that they had been compelled to lie out in the
open air without any medical attendance, thobgh
for several cays they had been unable to walk.
Though destitute of anything like quarters, and
nearly r.aked during the cold, stormy auo < hilly
Fall seasor,tte fiist and chief complaint of all
those I saw and talked with was on account of an
insufficient quantity of food. I will here remdrk
that in no .instance have'the rebel authori.
ties furnished clothing or blankets
to our men; During the winter large numbers of
our men were fxoa-n. I . heard , one of the rebel
surgeons in charge say tbai ihere were over twenty
of our men who would have to suffer amputation
1? effec * s o 1 frost. . This was before the
coldest weather commenced. Some time in the fore
part of December, a portion of our men were re
moved from the island to some large buildings,
where they were more comfortably quartered, but
there has been no time since May last but what
morepr less oi our men have been kept in the open
air, aila without.blankets or overcoats. •
. It is, a. common thing for the rebels to keep our
men for several days entirely without food. This
was particularly the case with a portion of the-
Gettysburg prisoners. Some went as long as six
days without food; and J were compelled to maroh
during the ti me. The offl cers captured at Ghiclca- !
mauga assure me that they and their men were
robbed of everything. Many of them lost their
posts, hats aid boots; as soon as captpred, and then
Were nearly! starved and frozen. I trust you Will
pardon me for the tedious lengthof this communica
tion. If you; will bear with me I'will only cail yqur
attention to! a few of the outrages practised on
our-officers! and men in the prison discipline. 1
Under the building known as Libby prison is a
large cellar,-in which they have several cells par
titioned off. u Several' of them are without any
light, but some of them have windows below the
pavement These cells areWsed for the purpose
of confiniig-securely such of the prisoners as the
authorities may' fear will attempt to escape, as we}}
as such as may chance *0 offend some one of the
many petty officials and piisoh attaches. Some of
onr tinfortunate : men are continually confined

FROM HEW ORLEANS AND THE GULF.
The steamship Yazoo, which left New Orleans
on the Sslh ult., arrived at New York last night,
and from the correspondence of the Times and
Herald we make the following extracts :
The result of ihe election has been the success of
the whole Free State ticket by a large majority
There were three tickets in the field, the Ad
ministration ticket, headed by the Hon. Michael
Hahn; the Conservative ticket, with J. A.
Fellowsfer standard bearer, and the bolters ftom
the Free State Convention—the Radical State
ticket—led by B. F. Flanders.
The vote stands ak follows as far as heard from :
— 5,797
Fellows 2,176
Flanders.... 1,925
Total vote or the 5tate.......,.!..... 9.556
Bahn’s majority over both is IGSG. A few conn
iry parishes are to hear irom, which will probably
swillthe total vbtetoll.coo, and give Hahn a ma
'jority.-ever ail opposition, of 2,uuo. Tharesult is
a great' triumph for the Free State party. The
vote will be nearly three-tenths aa large as the one
cast at the last presidential election.
The polls closed at 4 o’ clock, and ere the-hour of
seven arrived the people were crazy with the re.
turns that anrcunced the glorious victory which
had been achieved, as three precious hours of rhe
eventful day still remained to prepare for the
grand masquerade which Mrs. Gov. Banks of
lered to the elilt oi our population asapropercon
clusiou of the glorious festivities of Che day—a bal
snaer.u’ at the Opera House. The building
for ftte occasion was most profusely de
corated wiih hag*, and, further or.ia-*
merited will; a magnificent gas get, forming the
name of TCashingtou. Two splendid bauds, one
in the second gallery, and one in the rear of the
stage, discoursed the music, alternatelyreliering
each other. At 10 o' clock, the streets were alive
with carriages, the occupants in the varied and
gay dresses glistening most p.ctaresquelv in the
bright moonlight, while on the pavements long
processions might beseen of ladies and gentle-.r.ci:
masked, wending their Vray to die Opera House.
EuteringtheCperaHcuse inegnests, ascending the
steps, entered the building, ar.d finally reached
the first tier of boxes,' where the centre of the
front had beer, removed, and a platform erected
reaching over the parquette. Fi cm this platform
a winding stairs descended to the lloor of the bgll
rcom. On the stage stood Mrs. Gen. Banks, the
hestesE of the evening, dressed as a lady of the era
of Louis XIII., supported on the right by a lady
in the dress famil-.r to-ttoe dames of our first revo
lutiouary period, and here .supported by Ge eral
Basks, she leceived her guests, with a dignity
and ease that charmed the immense throngpresent.
. The entire affair vras a most brilliant success.
Active preparations were being made in all de
partments fer operations, but to what .quarter they
are to bedirected haa not transpired. Some paint
on tha Mississippi, or up the Red orOwachita,
rivers will soon: be the'seene of action. All the
steamers that caiiie down were detained, and a
very large number were collected at New Or
leans. ...... .....
The troops in B.rownsville and along the Texas
coaststill continue to remain in slaiu-jae'.
General Magnider is enforcing the conscription
act, and stealing all the stock and .produce of the
country.
scarcely a day passes but an officer and a few
men are .brought into our lines prisoners. They
frequently surrender tyithout a blow being struck
or a shot fired. This is an actnal fact, and from: an
efficer who has just arrived from onr army on the
Teche I learn that the same occurs there. Ttey
appear to watch for an opporturity to surrender,
and the old exeose is given—" There is no use in
our fighting any longer; the cause of the Southern
Confederacy is gone. ”
Advertisemen-s m the Texas papers state that the
Harriet Lane and Clifton are to be sold by auction
to the highest bidder, by order of W. D. Austin,
Confederate States Marshal.
A singular‘mistake occurred at Point Isabel a
lew days ago A schooner—a blockade runner
anchored off the point, while the captain went'
a- hofe for a pilot; but judge of his surprise when
he was told that uncle Sam owned the property
in that neighborhood,and that he was a trespasser
and a prisoner. Perhaps a' signal was given to the
schoonea, for Without waiting for the return of the
captain she hove up anchor and started off to sea
again. The captai n was probably abetter price than
his vessel, as ho had nineteen thousand dollars in
gold abput bis. person, while the schooner was
piobably empty .and returning for a load of co ton
to a port which her crew thought was still occu
pied by the rebels.
A letter from Mobile, dated 23d ult.,. says:
Deserters from Mobile slill continue to join the
blockading fleet. Tliev bring the following im
portant news and extracts—Gen. ."Sherman isxe
ported to have captured Selma and Montgomery,
Ala and to be advancing on Mobile. Should this
be true it will separate that portion of Johnston’s
army vhicb had. been sent to Mobile- Irom the
main army in Georgia, thus leavi- g the latter at
the mercy of Gen. Grant. They also state that
the auth rities are despairing of their ability to
hold the city against a powerful land attack, and.
that nearly all the. women and cmldren and
non-combatants have been removed. There: is
very little cotton jn and around Mobile. The
most of it has been removed iato Georgia and the
work of transporting it.thither hy both the author
ities and private'parties still continues. The ex
orbitant prices charged for the necessaries oi .life
is ruining thousands.'' Board for a single man
costs from .one to-two hundred dollars per week.
Flour Is two hiuidrod dollars per barrel;, coffee
twenty dollars pep pound; tea twcnty-lonr: butter,
six dollars; salt, one hundred and ten dollars per
sack, and other articles in .proportion. Clothing
is oven worse than this, and I have merely to
state that a .suit of respectable clothing costs from
eight hundred to a thousand dollars to. give your
readers some idea of the tremendous prices oharged
in Mobile. . '
