Union Soldiers Poisoned in Virginia by a
Hebel Woman.
Private S. N. Ellsworth of Company K-Ist
New Jersey Volunteers, furnishes the follow
ing item to a newspaper correspondent with
the Army ofGcn. Meade, in Virginia. The
charge of poisoning our men has before been
made against women in the Rebel States,
This case is substantiated by the essential
particulars of names, date and place:
On Thursday, the 2oth May at a farm
house near the Pamunkey River, in Virginia,
seven soldiers, belonging to the 1st New'Jcr
sey Volunteers, partook of some hot mince
pic offered them by an old woman, who pre
tended to be very friendly. She professed
to be a pious woman, a member of the Protest
ant Episcopal Church. Shortly after eating
the pie; the men were seized with the symp
toms usually attendant upon poisioning by
arsenic. The stomach-pump was applied by
Dr. Mott of the 1st New Jersey Volunteers
jind I5r. Hendricks of the 2d New Jersey
Volunteers. The contents of the stomscbs
were analyzed, and in all of them arsenic
was found. The men had been overdosed.

The settlements in Northeastern Idaho
are at this time attracting most attention.
In the spring of 1S62, enticed by the re
ports of rich placcra on Salmon river, an
immense emigration started to that coun
try from the western States and Territo
ries. Disappointed iu their expectations
many of them returned; others concluded
an increase of 18.396 over the corresnon-
Bannock ajding period of last year. The like ratio
of increase during the. remainder of 1864
will give a total immigration at this port,
of 214,876 souls, which is an increase of
58,032 over 13S,570.
A marked superiority in intelligence
and thrift is manifest in the immigration'
of this year, which compromises an extra
ordinary proportion of mechanics and
skilled agriculturists, as well as of cotton'
and woolen spinners, destined to the Eas
tern States, of coal and iron miners, wh'6'
for the most part have gone to Pennsyl
