FEkD, LOHK. AND KNOT-hTITCH MICHINBS to the
public, as being the most perfect, and adapted to more
different kinds of work than any other Sewing Machine
now in use
Years have been spent in their perfection, as the Com

their Machines to be
An intelligent examination of their merits will show
that they have accomplished their obiect. We take the

THE VALUABLE FEATURES OF THE “FLOBEXCE"
Firtt. Its reversible feed, feeding either to the right or
left; ifa perfect reliability, never skipping stitches; and
the making Of four different stitches for the various kinds
of work.
Second. It Is almost noiseless; rune very fast; the
change of the feed and stitch Is made whilst the Machine
is In motion.
Third. Itmakeßthe lock-stitch, which has been con
sidered, heretofore, by an almost universal verdict, as.
the only reliable one made. We add to that the double
lock, which makes it donbl) sure; the half and /ull
fcnot stitches, being a perfect knot to every stitch, which
is more durable than can be made by any other machine
or by hand, and in all cases leaving the stUche3 on both
eidrs of the work alike. .
The.feed may be reversed at any point desired vrlthovA;
stopping the machine.
Changes *br the various kinds of stitches are made
while the Machine is to motion.
Its stitches, for beauty® strength, aed elasticity.are the
wonder of ail.
The beauty of It Is unsurpassed-
No other covers eolarge a range of work.
£ews light and htavy fabrics with equal facility, and
without change or alteration of tension, thread, or
needle.
The work will feed either to the right or left.

THE WAR.
Winter Life In the Army of tbe Potomac.
COorreApondencft of the Tribm e. 1
Headquarters, Tuesday, Feb. ie,
A grand review i»i the cavalry divisions of dens,
Merritt and Kilpatrlok took place yesterday after*
soon, near Srevensburg. The divisions, which were
reviewed by Gen. Pieasonton, were drawn up in the
form of a right angle, with their ambulance trains
and artillery on each flank, and presented an im
posing military appearance. The intensity of the
cold In the morning prevented many of the ladies
now visiting the army from witnessing the review.
Gen Kilpatrick’* division is temporarily commanded
by Gol. Bryant, of the 18tU Pennsylvania Cavalry,
the general having recently been called to Washing
ton on special husines* by tbe President. Portions
of the 3d and 6th Army Corps were also reviewed
yesterday,
- Gen. Meade returned to headquarters by special
train yesterday. On his return he was greeted with
the exultant strains of “Hail to the Caief,” exe
cuted by the b»nd of Coins’ Zouaves, which was
stationed near his tent awaiting his coining. The
General looks remarkably well) and seems*to have
bees materially improved by bis sojourn in Phila
delphia. During his absence several needful im
provements nave been made at headquarters. The
giounds have been neatly polioi d, aad hedges and
arches of evergreen erected, which add much to the
natural beauty of the location, and exhibit true sol
diei ly order and tastefulaess
While the army is lying in its winter chrysalis,
the troops era not unmindiul of the necessity for
healthful reoreation and mental improvement. Ball
playing is a very common amusement, and groups of
aolciera may be steD, whenever the weather will
permit, indulging in that exhilarating pastime. In
Culpeper the members of tbe 14<hNew Yoik Regi
ment have established a school for instruction in
the common and higher English branones, whicu is
now in admirable working order. The school is
well attendedfaDd competent gentlemen of tbe Ist
Auny Corps are employed as instructors. A con
oerorooDfisiwo been fitted up in Culpeper, and en«-
Urtainmentsuven by members of the 14-h, wMoh
are largely attended. The proceeds of the concerts
are to be devoted to the erection of a monument to
the late General Reynold* At Stevensburg the
members of Gen- Kupatriok r s staff have established
a theatre and iyeeum, whioh piomice to afford much
amusement and instruction during the continuance
of winter. Several prominent lecturers have been
invited, anil have consented to deliver addresses on
topics calculated to interest the members of the asso
ciation-
Braudy Station begins to assume quite a business
like aspect. Baiber shops, restaurants, sadlers’
stores, and maikets, where are obtainable fish, poul
try, aod almost every deiiov>y found in the city
maikets, are in brisk operation, and are extensively
patronized by officers and men.
The gi and ball of the 2d Army Corps, whioh takes
place at general Warren’s headquarters on the 223
intt., is expected to eclipse anything of the kind
ever vitseceed in the army. A large number of
distinguished guest* have been invited. , T. aa.
GEN. BUTLER’S COLORED TROOPS.
A correspondent writes from Norfolk: Oae of the
most significant* as well as remarkable features of
Gen. Butler’s administration here, Is the success at
tending tbe enlistment and organi zation of negro regi
ments. Betides the three infantry regiments, he has
now two of colored cavaliy, both well filled, and one
of them tbe firat organized anywhere in the country.
And if these men can march On foot, what can’t they
perform in tbe way of ndingl We bad a case in il
lustration only a few days siuoe. Their horses were
all young and fresh, grain-fed, and mettlesome;
among others a colt, so wild and restive that it seem
ed impossible that he ever could be subdued. The
quiet eye of a colored boy fairly beamed with‘de
light as he craved the chance of riding the colt. No
sooner was be mounted than the ciroiis was* put far
in the shade. Such lofty rearing, kicking, and
Shaking, would have appalled even a Rarey. Fail
ing to unseat its rider, the vicious beast lay down
ai d rolled but when he rose again the boy WAS
still clinging to his back! “ You can squeeze die chile
much’s you like, but yes can’t get dis darkee off no
how,” and it couldn't .
In music, too, they are natural experts. I was
shown a boy, certainly not over seventeen, and pro
bably not more thav fifteen, who ten days previous
had never seen a bugle, while oa the occasion of the
review his efforts In that line fairly eclipsed the ro
tund Teuton, 1 who used to strain his cheeks so fear*
fully on Barnum’s balcony.

The Free-State Movement—Meeting of Co
loied People in New Orleans—Tße Candi-
dates for Governor.
New Orleans, Feb. ll —There was a large meet
ing last night in Lafayette Square, to ratify the
nomination of Hod. Michael Hahn and the Free-
State ticket* Speeches were made by Messrs. Hahn
Swift, Atocha, Collins, and Shannon. There are
now three candidates in the field—Hon. Michael
Hahn, Hon. B. F. Flanders, and Hon. Christian

nEGISTRT OF VOTERS.
[From the New Orleans Era, February 13.3 ,
It will be noticed that we have secured already
in the Parishes of Orleans and Jefferson enough votes
to amount to about one-tenth of the aggregate vote
in the State at the last Presidential election. But
this should be no reason for the relaxation of our
efforts. We can and should poll, in the loyal por
tions of this State, on the 22d inat,, 10,000 votes*
A BPKBOH BY ÜBi BABB,
Hon* Michael Hahn mace a speech at a ratifies*
tion meeting a few evenings since, and said:
Feulow-Citizens : I congratulate you on the evi
dent change in the public mind with regard to the
Union within the last two years. The cause of our
country and of freedom is making rapid aud gigan
tic -The spirit of rebellion is fast giving way
to love for our union, and before many months*
elapse wo will again be a united, happy, and power
ful people. God, in his infinite mercy, will hot al
low this country and this people to become perma
nently divided. The cause of justice is the cause
Of the Union.
“Thrice Is he armed, who hath his quarrel just. ”
When the spirit of secession first raised its head
in this city, in i 860 .1 was the first man to offer a re
solution of devotion to the Union, at a public meet
ing on this very square. 1 have continued to love
the Union ever since, all through the darkest hours
of this rebellion. It doeß not become me to speak
of myself, but, in conclusion. I must say that if I
am elected your Governor I will enter on the dis
charge of my duties perfectly free and untrammeled,
without any pledges, except those of the principles
with whiQh jou are all familiar, and with a deter
mination to do justice to all men. Let each and
every ore of us go to the polls on the 22d, and vote
for the men of our oboice. Let ue cast a large vote,
whether for or against me, so that our friends in the
North may see that Louisiana is in truth fully re
turning to the Union*
AMUSEMENTS IN NEW ORLEANS,
Gen. Banks is showing greattaot in the manner in
which he is endeavoring to win over the people by
timely and considerate attention to their peculiar
customs and fancies, wherever they can be indulged
without militating against healthy authority. I
wrote you recently respecting a grand promenade
conceit, Which took place at the new French Opera
House* Another one takes place to-night, even
more brilliant than the last, and to terminate with
dancing. How far the people will respond to these
efforts to gratify them, in the present, bitter and
troubled condition of the public mind with regard
to political matters, remains to be seen; but these
attempts are none the less praiseworthy, and cannot
but prove highly beneficial.
Beside this promenade concert, another singular
and to us Northerners, novel feature, marks the
advent 01 this day of festivity—itfordf Gras. The
maskers who last year were prohibited from carrying
on their mummeries in the streets,and many of whom
were—through some innocent misunderstanding
caught and locked up in the calaboose all night for
infringing the laws, are to-day allowed full license in
all their strange vagaries. As 1 write, males and
females, in the strangest attire and every conceivable
form of masks, are to be seen dashing through the
streets in carriages, or strolling along in squads of
half a dozen, followed by a crowd of laughing
and screaming children—of all ages, sexes, and
colors. The new comer, who never saw anything of
the kind before, stops to gape and wonder what all
such nonsense means; but the old stagers, who can
remember when the wealthy citizens of New Or
leans joined in such sports, and thought nothing of
squandering each from one to ten or twenty thou
sand dollars upon every Mardi Gras, shake their de
sponding heads, button-hole you to talk of theglories
of the past, and wind up with the invariable,- “Ah f
we shall never see those times again!”
MEETING OB' THE COLORED PEOPLE*
A meeting of the colored people of this city was
held last evening, in the Lyceum Hall, to meet Co
lonel McKay, one of the commissioners appointed
by the President to investigate the condition of the
negroes emancipated by act of Congress and the
President’s proclamation of January 1,1863. Long
before the hour of commencement every seat in the
vast hall was filled, and soon the aisles and all avail
able standing places were densely packed above and
below* It is no exaggeration to say that a more re
spectable audience, so far as external appearances
were concerned, was never assembled in New Or
leans*
Upon the close of the remarks of Colonel McKay,
a committee was appointed to draft resolutions ex
pressive of the sense of the meeting, and while they
were absent, Mr. J. B. Noble was called upon to
address the assembly* He stated that there were
two classes introduced here, one of slaves from the
wilds of Africa—an ignorant, degraded people—and
the other an intelligent, eduoated, enlightened, and
wealthy class from Jamaica and Cuba; that they
had contributed by their labors to the wealth and
prosperity of Louisiana; that they had always
obeyed the laws and paid their taxes promptly,
school tax and all, though they had never reaped
any advantage from it until within the last year.
They wanted publio schools; they wanted to be re
cognized as men; they wanted the odious Black
Code dorse away with*
After Mr. Noble had concluded his remarkf, in the
course of which he related an instance of the work
ings of the Black Code, which afl'eoted many of the
audience to tears, the following resolutions were
reported by the committee, and after being read in
French and English, were adopted:
. Whereas, His Excellency, the President of these
United States, felt it his duty to inquire into the
condition of toe colored people of Louisiana, for the
realization of their new position in social life, to
sustain themselves and implant a spirit of indepen
dent and free manhood into the minds of their de
scendants ; and
Whereat, We perceive, through the effects of this
wioked rebellion, that the power, prosperity, wealth,
justice, and liberty of this country, will be brought
to their greatest perfection only by a wise and judi
cious legislation for the just equalization of human
rights; and
Whereas, The sympathies over the relative condi
tion of aooiety will be notably renovated and im
proved ; therefore,
Be it resolved, That we, the colored people of this
city, in miss meeting assembled, at Lyceum Hall,
In New Orleans, do hereby express our unbounded
and heartfelt thanks to the President of these Uni
ted States, Abraham Lincoln, and his Cabinet, for
the palpable Interest they behalf of the
once so unrighteously oppressed people of Africa’s
blood.
Be it further resolved , That we acknowledge the
power, proceedings, sod enactments or the present
Administration of the United states, and our sin*
cere prayer is that its legislative acts may be relt
throughout the land, like the rain and sunshine on
our earthly soli.
And be it further resolved, That as unto God we send
our daily prayers for the welfare, both temporal and
spiritual, of the President and his family, so unto
the same Great Being we offer up our petitions for
the longer continuance of his servant* Abraham
Lincoln, in his present high and responsible posi
tion, and for the progressive development of a high
er civilization, refinement, righteousness, truth,
peace, and national happiness of the American
people*
After Mr. Martin W. Wagner had addressed the
meeting, another committee, which had been ap
pointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sense
of tbe meeting on the question of inviting Frederlok
Douglass to visit New Orleans, reported the fol
lowing :
Whereas , We recognize tbe servioe* of the illus
trious Frederlok Douglass, in his labors for the ele
vation and disenthialment of his race; therefore,
be it ,
Resolved, That a oommitiee of seven gentlemen be
appointed by the chair to extend an Invitation to
Mr. Frederick Douglass, Inviting him to visit our
city at aueh time as may best suit his earliest con
venience,
THE ESCAPE FROM RICHMOND.
Full PnrtlCNl37a by one of tbe Escaped
Uolonels,
UNION SENTIMENT IN RICHMOND.
Eighteen Hen Imprisoned-for Attempting to
Kill Jeff oa vis.
The Washington Star contains the following ac
count of tbe esoape of the Union prisoners now in
Washington:
(t Over two months ago, the officers oonfined in
Libby Prison conceived the idea of effecting their
own exchange, and after tbe matter had been se
riously discussed by seven or eight of them, they
undertook to dig lor a distance toward a sewer rua
nit g into the basin. This they proposed doing by
commencing at a point in the cellar, near a ohimoey.
This cellar was immediately under the hospital, and
was the receptaole for refuse straw thrown from the
beds when they were changed, and for other relate
matter.
COMIHO INTO THB LIGHT,
“Colonel W. P. Kendrick, of West Tennessee;
Captain I>. J. Jones, of the Ist Kentucky Cavalrv;
anu Lieutenant K. Y. Bradford, of the 2d West
Tennessee, were detailed as a guard, or rather
to go out last* and from a window Colonel Ken-
Click and his companions couid see the fugitives
walk out of a gate at tbe other end of the enclosure
of tbe carriage house, and fearlessly move off The
aperture was so narrow that bu 5 one man could get
through at a time, and eaoh squad carried with them
provisions in a haversack. At midnight, a false
alarm was cteated, and the prisoners made ooQtlder*
able noise in getting to their respective quarters.
Providentially, however, the guard cuspeeted no
thing wrong, and in a few moments the exodus was
again commenced.
*' HALF-PAST TWO ASTP AI»I» r 8 WELL."
“Betwten X and 2 o’clock, the lamps were ex«
ticgulsbed in the streets, the exit was
more safely accomplished, r There sfiN 1 many offi
cers who desired to ieave. wko were .weak and
feeble that they were dragged through the tunnel
by main foice, and carried to places of safety,
until such time as they would be able to move on
their journey* At 2)£ o’clock, Captain Jooes, Colo •
nel Keudrick, and Lieutenant Biadford passed out
in the order in which they are named, and as Colonel
Kendrick emerged from the hole, he heard theguard,
within a ftw feet oi him, sing out, “Post No. 7,
half-past two in the morning, ana all’s well.”
Colonel K. says he could hardly resist the temptation
of saying, 'not so well as you think, except for the
Yanas.’
kxpbrirnce ov a party op thrkb.
t: A description of tbe route pursued by this party
and of tbe tribulations through whiuh they passed,
will give some idea of the rough time they all had
of it. Colonel Kendrick had, before leaving the
piison, mapped out his course, and concluded that
the best iou<e to take was the one towards Norfolk
or Fortress Monroe, as there were fewer rebel
pickets In that direction. They therefore kept tie
Yoik River Railroad to the left and moved towards
the Ohlckahomlny river* They passed through
Boar Swamp, and crossed the road leadiogtbß.it
tom Bridge. Sometimes they waded through mud
aud water almost up to their necks, and kept the
Bottom Bridge road to their lelt, although at times
they could see and hear the oars travelling ofer the
York river road. r
“ 'While passing through tbe swamp near the
Chickahominy, Colonel Kendrick sprained hiis ankle
and fell. Fortunate, too, was that fall for him and
his party, for while he was lying there one of them
chAncea to look up, and saw in a direct line with
them a swamp-bridge, and la the dim outline they
could perceive that parties with muskels were
passing over the bridge. They, therefore; moved
some distance to the south, and after passing
thjough more of the swamp, reached the Obieka
hominy about four miles below Bottom [Bridge.
Heie now was a difficulty. The river was only
twenty feet wide, but it was very deep, and the
refugees were worn out and fatigued. Chancing,
however, to look up, Lieutenant Bradford sHw that
two trees had fallen oh either side of the river and
that their branches were interlocked. By crawling
up one tree and down the other, the reach
ed the east side of the Chickahominy, ami Colonel
Kendrick could not help remarking that he believed
Providence was on their side, else they would not
have met that natural bridge.
“ After crossing over this natural bridge they laid
down on the ground and slept until sunrise on the
morning of the lith, when they continued on their
way, keeping eastwatdly as near as they could. Up
to this time they had had nothing to eat, atd we;e
almost famished. About noon of the 11th they met
several negroes, who gave them information as to
the whereabouts of the rebel pickets, and famished
them with food.
FSISNDLZNBfiS OF THS NXGSOBS.
“Aotix/g utder the advice of these friendly ne*
groe*, they remained quietly in the WOOdl until
darkness had set in, when they were furnished with
a comfortable supper by the negroes, and after dark
proceeded on their way, the negroes (who every
where showed their friendship bo the fugitives)
having first directed them how to avoid the rebel
pickets. That night they passed a camp of rebels,
and could plainly see the smoke and camp fire.
But their weary feet gave out, and they were com
puled to, stop and rest, having only marchßd five
miles that day,
u They started again at daylight on the 13th, and
after moving awhile through the woods, they saw
a negro woman working in a field, and calked her to
them, and liom her received directions, and were
told that the rebel pickets had been about there look
for the fugitives from Libby. Here they laid low
again, and resumed their journey when darkness set
in, and marched five miles, but baited until the
morning of the 14th, when, the journey was re
sume, d. •
“At one point they met a negro In the field, and
•he told i hem that her mistress wasaSecesh wo
man, and that she had a son in the rebel army. The
party, however, were exceedingly hungry, and they
determined to secttre some food. This they did by
boldly approaching the house, and informing the
mistress that they were fugitives from Norfolk, who
had been drived out by Butler; and the Seoesh
sympathies of the woman were at once aroused, and
she gave them of her substance, and started them*on
their way with directions how to avoid the Yankee
soldiers, who occasionally soouted In that vicinity.
This information was exceedingly valuable to the
refugees, for by it they discovered the whereabouts
of the Federal forces.
THE OLD If LAG IN SIGHT.
“ When about fifteen miles from Williamsburg the
party came upon the main road, and found the tracks
of a large body of cavalry. A piece of paper found
by Captain Jones satisfied him that they were Union
cavalry, but his companions were suspicious, and
avoided the road, anu moved forward, and at the
* Burnt Ordinary ’ (about ten miles from Williams
burg) awaited the return of the cavalry that had
moved up the road, and from behind a fence corner
where they were secreted the fugitives saw the fiag
of the Union supported by a squadron of cavalry,
which proved to be a detachment of Colonel Spear’s
11th PefiStyJyabia Regiment, sent out for the uur-
Sose of picking up escaped prisoners. Col. Ken*
rick says his leelings at seeing the old fiag were inde
scribable*
UNIONISM IN RICHMOND*
“ From these officers we learmthat there is a wide
spread Union feeling in Richmond. Jeff Davis is
held in detestation, but all who do not heartily en
dorse the rebel Government are spotted and watched.
There are at this time eighteen persons confioed in
Castle Thunder on charges of attempts to assassinate
the rebel President. These prisoners also confirm
the repoit that an attempt was made to burn Jeff’s
mansion, and that one morning his servants found a
coffin upon his porch.
u In their escape the officers were aided by citizens
of Rlohmond; not foreigners or the poorer classes
only, but by natives and persons of wealth. They
know theirfriends there, but very properly withhold
any mention of their names.
THE vniEOVBUS ON SELLS IBLB.
u The officers alio report the fact that some time
ago, through the aid of citizens, they obtained com
munication with the soldierson Belle Isle, and there
were to be concerted movements to escape* The sol
diers had been lurnished with arms, which they had
secreted. The officers at Libby were to secure the
guards there, and act in concert with the Belle Isle
men; but, , just as the affair was ready to be oarried
into execution, the project was exposed* {suspicion
at once rested upon a certain Union lieutenant colo
nel) who was in favor with the rebel authorities, had
the freedom of the city, and moved about at will in
the hospitals and elsewhere. He bad been suspected
for some time, and one day was accused of exposing
theaflair. , . .
“ The indignation of tbe officers, whose plans had
thUB been thwarted through the perfidy of (as they
believed) one of their number, cannot be described.
Some cried out, * Hang him! hang him!’ One ran
to his blanket, and, tearing it in strips, said he had
a rope ready; and others were in favor of pitching
the lellOW Out of the window, and letting his brains
bespatter the pavement below. Wiser counsels,
however, prevailed, and it was concluded that it was
better to let the traitor live and report him to his
Government, if opportunity ever offered. The
lieutenant colonel, we understand, will be reported
to the War Office. His excuse is that he informed
a Federal officer in hospital of the attempted es
cape, and that a rebel surgeon overheard the con
versation.”
SUFFERINGS OF THE LOYAL INDIANS.
letter from Hon. Jolin Boss.
EXTRACTS FROM OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS, AND
OTHER NOTICES.
The Commissioner of Indian. Affairs, the Hon. If.
p, Dole, in bli annual report, gives expression to a
just appreciation of tbe chteacter and condition of
tbe loyal Indiana. On page. 19*b of bli report for
1863, be very truly itatee “that no portion of our
people have luSfered greater calamities, have met
with more overwhelming disaster!, or have more
heroically battled for tbe common interests of the
country, than have the loyal Indian..” . » » .
“ Many of them were, prior to tbe rebellion, in
the quiet enjoyment of moat of the comforts
and conveniences of civilized life; tbe various
'tribes werff at peace with each other, and the
whole people were presenting unmistakable evi
dences of improvement, thrift, and prosperity.
During tbe vicissitudes of tbe war, they bave been
visited by the direst calamities. They have been
robbed, plundered, and murdered; their homes
have been burned, their Ueldi laid waste, their
property seized and destroyed; they have been
compelled to flee from their country, and from a
condition of plenty and Independence they have
been reduced to the moat abject poverty. Buffering,
and distress. Nor have they tamely submitted to
these calamities. From tbe outset they have bat
tled, and are still battling, in defence of their
homes, and for the restoration of the authori
ty of our Government, with a courage and
zeal that entitle them not only to our Sympathy,
but to the moat generous consideration in the re
adju.tment of our relations with them, which
have been so wantonly disturbed.” P. 21. ** The
Cherokees, prior to tbe rebellion, were the moat
numerous, intelligent, wealthy, and influential
tribe in ™.(the Southern) superin tendency. ” * *
» por many months,” (notwithstanding the absence
of the protection due them from the United States,
and guaranteed by treaty stipulations), “ they
steadily relisted the efforts of the rebels to induce
them to abandon their -iicaianee to the Federal
Government; but being wholly unprotected, and
without the means of resistance, the united States
forces having been withdrawn from all the forts
on the frontier, and the means of even communica
ting with tbe United States Government oat off,
they were finaUy compelled to surrender to over.

Indian Affairs, speaking of the issue of provision*
to the destitute, aaye: “There are many who do not
apply lor provleion* at all. And etiU a great many
more, who live near the Hoes of Missouri and Ar
kansas, who have been robbed of every animal upon
which to travel, and of their cJothiftg, ao that they
have neither hones to ride, nor clothing to wear,
while coming here to get provisions.”
Of the rebel raids he aays: “ They kIH Ml the men
and large boys they can catch. They hardly ever
bill a woman, but they rob them of their horses and
provisions whenever they can. 1 *

[A copy] Fort GMbsoit, i). N., Jan. 11, 1884,
Drab Sib: We are in the midst of the severest
weather I have ever experienced in this oouutr? $
1663 closed with one or the coldest and most fu
rious storms of snow, sleet, and wind that I have
ever seen, and Ushered in 1864 with the thermome
ter several degreef below zero. Since then until
ytaterday there has not been the slightest thaw
even before the noonday sun, the mercury ranging
from 4to 14 degrees above zero. The Grand and
Arkansas rivers are frozen hard, and horsemen
and teams cross to and fro on the ice. A view from
the river bank, with the Indians walking on tne
ice and carrying heavy logs of wood, remtaded me
of regions far north of this. The suffering has been
great. A few persons, two Greeks and a Shawnee,
are reported frozen to death. The women, and
children, and soldier* have had a fearful time of
it, with and without tents, as you may readily
imagine when my own feet, in good aooks, boots,
and overshoes, feel theefteoU of frost in my place of
business. Short rations, scant clothing, no houses,
or shelter, amid these furious winds and pelting
storms, have been fearfully distressing, aud at a
meeting of some of the leaning men, the dther day, I
could not restrain giving expression to feelings of
pity and indignation. The contrast between the
past and the present was too overwhelming to be
longer borne in silence. Thtn we were more than
twenty thousand strong, with a Government and
laws of our own; the tun shone upon our happy
homes, upon our productive fields, upon our grazing
herds—now all was changed, our children no
longer wended their way to school, the fire had
ceased to burn on the domestic hearths, the voices
of prattling children were not heard around them j
hundreds of stout men, tender women, and feeble
children now rest beneath these ice clods; not one
bead throughout the length and breadth of the land
was pillowed in peace; respectable females, who
had not known want, were now seen shivering
around the agent’s office, mendicants for a pair of
shoes and a yard of domestle, without a morsel of
bread to eat, while our cattle that grazed upon a
thousand hills have disappeared, our counoil fires
were.extinguished, and we had the forms but not
the substance of freemen, everything being in the
hands of lUlers not of their own choice; they had
submittc d long enough to empty promises from con
tractors for supplying them with bread, and should
know of the contractor when supplies would be de
livered.
The commander here I believe has done, and will
do, all he can to relieve the wants of the people. I
attach no blame to him, but there is culpability
somewhere, and, in my opinion, it rests with con
tractors. There have been no issues of flour here
for some time to many persons, and there is not only
aoi ual destitution, but positive suffering.
'While W»tie was about Park Hill his party killed
nine or ten men on that raid, including two pickets
near here—Wm. O. Boas, at Park H U ; old Charles
Manning, and others. In the fight at Shelton’s
place he was whipped by our men, and had some of
his party killed.
Among the victims of violence I regret to add the
name of David Yann. He was at home; a party of
six men rode up to his bouse, just at dark, called
him out on the porch, and snot him through the
head, just above the left eye. He died instantly.
His wile and daughter were present. The latter
walked alone that night to Mrs. Williams’, from ten
to fifteen miles, to obtain help to bury him. The
deed is charged upon six white men, supposed to be
Texans or Missourians,
Colonel Phillips has been addressed by some of
the leading men in regard to future farming opera

Father Essex* dined with us to day, He has
been robbea once by the Federal* and twice by the
Secesh, of hat, boots, shirts, &c. He walked from

of other days yet glimmer in the sockets; but, poor
old man, even his grayjbairs and harmless life do.
