LETTER 1101/ THE SEEIOR EDITOR.
We have just received the following
letter from the Senior Editor, apprising
us of a painful bereavement he has just
suffered in the death of his father. Al
though the letter is of a private nature,
we take the liberty of publishing it.—
[JuNIoa EDITOR.
ST. CLAIREITILLII, OHIO,
July 9th, 1863.
COL. Jimrime :
My Dear Sir,—Full of years and in the
confident and steadfast hope of the Chris
tian, my father has been gathered to his
rest. He departed this life on Monday
last, after a brief illness, and was yester
day committed to the grave by a large con
course of his neighbors and friends. It
does not become me to speak of his vir
tues, but I can truly say of his faults that
"they were few and slight as human faults
could be." He enjoyed a large degree of
public favor and confidence, and it was
said of him by an eminent clergyman
of the Presbyterian Church, who had
known him long and intimately, "that he
had settled more disputes and compo
sed more difficulties than any man in all
this section of country ;" and last evening,
as I stood by his new-made grave, I could
not repress the thought that great as is the
loss to his children, the community in
which he lived has lost still more by his
death. He was a soldier, on the Niagara
frontier, in the war of 1812.
Enclosed are the notices the village pa
pers have made of his death.
Very sincerely yours,
R. W. JONES.

caution and deliberation. His opinions
were exceedingly accurate on all difficult
questions, both civil and religious. He
was not only highly respected, but loved
by his fellow-men.
He was a member of the Methodist

FROM VIOKSBURG--LETTER FROM
LIEUT. BENJ. JENNINGS
YOUNG'S POINT, LA.,
June 4th, 1863.
liear Brother :--I suppose you have seen
in the papers, we have had some hard
fighting, withing the last few weeks, even
now the bombs are being thrown into the
city of Vicksburg, by our mortars lying
near our camp. We can see the shell af
ter night. The fight has been going on
since the 19th of May. Our forces are
within a mile and a half of the Court
House. I have no doubt, but we will
have the place soon, but the losses, I
have no doubt, will be heavy on both
sides.
The first fight in which I was engaged
was on the Ist day of May. After march
ing all night or until 12 o'clock in the
morning we were attacked by the enemy
and fought for an liour or two. We then
laid on our arms until morning, when we
had hard work from that until dark, when
we laid down expecting to do some more
fighting in the morning, but there was no
enemy to be found excepting the prisoners
and the dead. The lose was severe on
their side, but not very heavy on ours.—
We had one man killed in our company.
We were in the hardest of the fight. I
did not receive a scratch. We marched
from there to Port Gibson, about three
miles from the battle ground, some call it
Anderson's Hill, and stopped at Port
Gibson, for a few days. From thence to
Jackson, Miss., but when our Division
arrived within five miles of the place we
learned it was taken by the advance of
our army, when we were ordered to march
back and take the road for Vicksburg.—
It rained hard and continued so all day—
and had rained half the day before, but
we got along and on the 16th tried to en
gage the enemy but as before the advance
cleared them out before we could get a
chance; but the next day we were in the
advance, that is, our Division: On arriN
ing at the Black river Bridge we had a
chance to try our mettle. The enemy
were entrenched to protect the Bridge,
but we did'nt let them stay there long.—
Our Regiment made a charge, imported by
the 21st and 12nd lowa and 11th Wiscon
sin which routed them and took about
eighteen thousand prisoners. I don't see
what prevented the cowardly dogs from
wiping us out of existence, with the force
and chance they had. We lost a good
many men, among them our Colonel, as
brave a man and as good a Colonel as ever
mounted a horse, also our sutler, he was
an old man, not enlisted, but would go in
spite of the entreaties of his friends and
was killed. There was one killed in our
company and one died, a few days after
from wounds received in the fight. The
captain was wounded in the leg, but it is
a flesh wound. We had in all eighteen
wounded, some very slightly.
We were ordered to take the prisoners
up the river, and took them as far as Mem
phis, when we were relieved and ordered
back to this point, and here we are'
awaiting further orders. We expect to be
ordered in the rear of Vicksburg. If we
don't go soon we will nut get a chance to
help take the city.
My health is not so good at present. I
have the ague, had a severe shake yester
day, but feel pretty well to-day.
Give my respects to all my friends and
write eoon. Your brother.
BENJ. JENNINGS.
For the Messenger
YOUNG'S POINT, Li., June 12, 1863
Dear Brother :—I now snatch this op
portunity to write you a rew lines to let
you know I am still among the living, and
just in tolerable good health. lam wore
down so I can't write much, althodgb I
have a good deal of writing to do, as I am
the only commissioned officer left in our
company, and have been kept busy for
the past six or eight weeks. I have been
in a very severe battle since I wrote you
last. On Saturday, the 6th inst., we were
ordered to take the boat and and go up to
Milliken's Bend to reintrce a couple of
Negro Regiments that were threatened by
the enemy. We did not like the company
the best ; but as the 23d lowa
. is always
ready to obey orders, up we went and land
ed in the evening. As there were no signs
of the enemy, we laid on the boat for the
night, with our arms in readiness to move
at a moment's warning. I slept soundly
until awakened by an order to fall in, out
we went, I being in command of Company
C. We had barely time to get into the
breastworks before the enemy were upon
us with a strong force, some say two
thousand, but I can't say how many, but
they numbered four to our one. They
massed their troops on our left. There
was one Negro Regiment on our left
which suffered severely, but finally fell
back, after fighting nobly. They could do
no better than retire, and we were com
pelled to do the same, as we were flanked.
We fell back under the river bank. The
gunboat sent shell and canister among
the Butternuts which made them skedad
dld. We held the post. Our Regiment
went in with one hundred and thirty men,
and lost in killed twenty-three, wounded,
thirty-nine, since which time three have
died. Among the killed was our 2nd
Lieut., my messmate, a brave and true
hearted soldier. He fell at his post the
second round. I miss him very much.—
We lost another good man, a Sergeant.—
He leaves a wife and eight small childrep.
We had two wounded, one severely. I
escaped without a scratch, as usual ; but
it was scaly work. I am now ready for
them again, and expect to be until this
wicked Rebellion is put down or I am
stricken down.
Vicksburg is not taken yet. We are
in eight of it. The mortar boats
are playing on it all the time and the
Batbwise in therear of them are pouring
it at them, so I think they will be eon-
palled to , surrender soon. It its said the
two armies are so close to each other at
times that they will curse one another for
not doing the fairthiaig. There is a spring
the rebels want to get water from, but
some of our boys pick them off when they
try to get it, and they do the same with us.
The rebels want to make an agreemvt
to let both go to it, but as our boys can
get water elsewhere, they won't.agree to
it.
The weather is very warm here now and
a great many of our regiment are sick.—
We came into service with one hundred
and one men and now muster about twenty
fit for duty and this is about an average
of our Regiment, but we have about sxty
six wounded and all. Your brother.
BENJ. JENNINGS.
EXEMPTION FROM THE DRAFT.
The regulations of the Draft require
that any person drafted, and who may
wish to claim exemption, must furnish to
the Board of Enrollment a written appli
cation. These applications J. G. Ritchie
and R H. Phelan, Ergs., ate now prepar
ing, and any person desiring to have their
papers prepared, can do so by calling upon
them at the office of Purmau & Ritchie.
A Fight at Antietam Creek.
WesatwoToN, July 10th.—Humors are
rife here that Beauregard has passed
down the Shenandoah Valley with 40,000
men, to reinforce Lee.
A special to the New York Tribune,
dated Headquarters of the Army of the
Potomac, Friday, July 10th, says : A
vigorous artillery and cavalry fight took
place this morning over the Antietam
creek. Preparatory to the great expected
conflict the cavalry and artillery of Buford
aided by Kilpatrick on the left flank of
the enemy, dislodged him last evening
from the village of Renvollo, on the road
from Booneboro to Hagerstown, driving
him two miles beyond Benver Creek.
This morning sharp skirmishing contin•
ued with equal success, until the enemy
rested on a strong position near Funkstown
The artillery was then replaced by fresh
batteries.
SIR P. 11.—The utmost activity now pre
vails in the army of the Potomac. A de
serter who came into the lines last night
reports that Lee has a single bridge
across the Potomac, near Williamsport,
and has succeeded in getting over ammu
nition and supplies, although he could not
move his army over with safety or expe
dition.
The men in the rebel army had not
heard of the fall of Vicksburg. Gen. Lee
is evidently driven to the wall, anct will
fight his men to the bitter end.
At 10 o'clock this morning the enemy
held the right of Hagerstown and our for
ces the left. At twenty minutes after
two o'clock very rapid and heavy cannon
ading opened upon the rebels, and contin
ued for about an hour, resulting only in
driving them from the woods.
The Situation of the Opposing
Armies--Lee's Efforts to Cross
the Potomac
CfIAMBERSBURG, July 'lo.—The
news from Williamsport shows that
the rebels have ferry boats. By rea
son of the late high water very little
of their transportation has reached
the Virginia shore; but a few of
their wounded have got over.
Reports from Gen. Smith's advance
states that there is no material change
in the position of Lee's trobps from
yesterday. Lee's headquarters are
still at Hagerstown.
A special to the World, dated
Chambersburg 10th, says the rebel
pickets and ours meet at Greencastle.
Gen. Couch is at this point. A battle
is looked for at any moment. It is
thought that we have Lee completely
hemmed in;
A correspondent of the Herald,
dating from Greencastle on the 9th,
says that he had been inside the reb
el lines to Hagerstown. The rebel
trains are nearly all at Williamsport.
The rebels have failed to cross the
Potomac twice and met with the loss
of fifty men. They tried swimming
the horses above Clear Spring, some
of which wore drowned, but a few
reaching the shore.
The rebel line extends from Ha
gerstown to St. Paul's Church, west
"of Hagerstown, They occupy all
the heights around Hagersto
The rebels aro pressing into the ser
vice all the copperheads, and are
stealing all the horses from Mary
land.
Gon. Jenkins was wounded by a
heavy piece of shell. The rebel re
serves on the other silo of the Poto
mac are furnished with pontoons.
A Harrisburg.special to the Herald
says that Leo's army is concentrated
at Hagerstown. Mead's forces are
more advunchd, circumscribing the
rebels limits. Skirmishing has oc
cured between the advance guards.
FREDERICK, July 10.—From a ref
ugee who arrived here to-night—
who left Hagerstown this morning
—l. learn that the enemy's force is
about 50,000 men and two hundred
pieces of artillery. My information
states that the train of Lee cannot
number less than three thousand
wagons, and are on the road from
Hagerstown to Williamsport and
Shepard's Ford. The river is still
very high, and the whole rebel army
is on this side.
FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
Destmotion of the Railroad at Warsaw--
Arms and Stores Destroyed.
WASHINGTON, July 9.—The following
has been received at headquarters :
NEWBERN, N. C., July 7,
via FORTRESS DIONROE, July 8, '63.
Maj: Gen, W. H. Italica, General-in- Chief
1 have the honor to report that the
cavalry sent from here July 3d, under
Col Lewis, 3d New York Cavalry. have
safely returned, having successfully ac
complished thier mission,and without loss.
They destroyed—twisting the rails, &c.,
by Gen. floupt's plan--two miles of the
railroad at Warsaw, also destroying for
five more miles all the culverts, as well
as the telegraph. At Kenaneville, Duplin
county, an armory was destroyed, with
large quantities of small arms and commis
sary and quartermasters stores,- which
were burned. About one hundred and
fifty animals and thirty prisoners were
captured by them, and some 100 men and
negro women and children came in

Concentration of Meade and Csuohe's Ar.
mies—General Lee's Headquarters Still
at Hagerstown.
SIIIPPENSBURG, July 9—The ar
mies of Generals Meade and Couch
are rapidly concentrating in front of
"the Armyof Virginia."
The headquarters of Gen. Couch
are at this place to-night.
Tho news from Waynesboro shows
that a portion of Lee's army is only
three miles from the forces under
General Smith.
The enemy's cavalry paid a flying
visit to-day to Greencastle, probably
for the purpose of watching our
movements and gathering supplies.
Lee's headquarters are still believ
ed to be at Hagerstown.
Exciting events are likely to trans
pire within the next two days.
BOONSBORO, July 9.—There have
been no active operations on our
front to-day.
After the cavalry fight of yester
day the enemy drew in their forces
towards Hagerstown, and formed a
line on elevated ground, extending
from Funkstown on the right to the
bend of the river below Williams
port, thus uncovering the Shepards
to wti crossing.
Our scouts and recunnoitering
parties report that Lee is intrench
ing his front and drawing ammuni
tion from his train on the Virginia
side, and making general prepara
tions for another battle.
It is contradicted to-night that we
have a force in Lee's line of r treat
in Virginia.
It is not likely that a general bat
tle will bo delivered tomorrow.
Gen. Dix's Operations—Commu
nications Cut between Rich
mond and Gen. Lee.
FORTRESS MONROE, July 9.—The
operation of General Dix's command
at the White House and on the Pe
ninsula have been very successful.
All direct communication between
Richmond and Gen. Lee's army has
been cut, and a large number of
troops, in and about Richmond, that
would otherwise have gone to rein
force him, have been detained.
Marching Orders Received
We understand that a large num
ber of troops now in camp here re
ceived marching orders this morn
ing, and are now preparing to leave
for those points at which they have
been directed to report. Colonel
Dick's regiment has been ordered to
New Creek, and R. B. McCombs'
regiment to Parkersburg. The bat
talion noticed elsewhere as being
under marching orders, has been in
structed to report at Hancock, Md.,
and Knap's Battery, as stated in an
other column, goes to Beverly. It
would not bo proper to state when
these troops will leave, or what route
they will take to their destination.
The men received their orders with
much apparent satisfaction, and ap
pear in high glee at the idea of get
ting into active service.—Pittsburgh
Chronicle.
le - Since the late discovery of
the source of the river Nile, it has
been found out that it was discover
ed and accurately described one hun
dred and sixteen years ago. Eman
