rely accordingly, all cd which is duly
recorded.
Hero is a paragraph which is of great
interest to tho.se concerned : 'Is it true

to receive a letter from you givintr a

number of letters lclato'to recruiting

the great difliotilty.
Tho following decapitates n recruit ing
oflloer who hnd been unsuccessful in
deceiving his German and Irish breth
ren: 'Lieutenant Kdwaiid Cami-hkix,

tho regiment. I respectfully ask that ho
ba recalled to the regiment, as lam
satisfied that a more ofhViont officer
can be substituted in his place.'
Tho next entry notices his decapita
tion and that ol several other recruiting
genta.
Another entry says: 'There is a great
deal of sickness in our regiment at camp
Winfield Scott, Tho i-ickiiess is not
owing to any fault in either physicians
or nurses, but in tho wretched climate,
&o.'
Tho Colonel of tho Eighty-fifth, under
date of the 10th of May, has "the, pleas

The letters are lull of egotism, viuiily,
and is, in fact, a Yankee diary ot events

ments on tho Chickahoiiiiny,
The only thing of value we find in the
'book' is some very excellent white royal
paper; and wo bhi.ll appropriate its blank
pages from time to time as our necessi
ties require it.
There is no clue given as to tho nuth
or of tho Diary but from tho tone ho
must havo belonged ut Headquarters.
Concerning tho recent bailies btfore
the city reports of various Northern pa.
pors aro compiled '-through the kindness
ot a friend to whom wo have been much

whole accounts are most extravagant.1'
Among tho list of wounded wo llnd the
names of Lieut. Cul. Purvianee, Capf.
Geo. Hooker, Lieut. J. A Smith, Lieut.
J. W. Atchison, ot Both, l'a. Vols., nnd
a ho it of other nan e of oflluers and men
belonging to "WessoH's old Brigade."
Another Item states that "iho Yank

Again, tho city was full of ftrsg
filing ollloers and pnvatos who "en mo

aud relato in their ovn stylo their vari

In another placo it remarks "all

In'.e'iligenco as to the movements ol

established by tlio Cjii fed .-rate govern
ment nl tho boo'ining of the struggle,
which excluded all reporters and army
correspondents from their lines, and the
toleration of which often thwarted the
plans of our own general .
Politically the Baquirer has but one
article, and one upon which ire centre
a great d:-al of interest. It has frequent
ly been charged upon the S.mthern press
that bias were mado by them to effect
the assassination of the illustrious Lin coln.
We never had oo:.lar proof ot
the tame aud like many others of tho
North, hoped that tho accusation was
unfounded. Like much else, howsver,
of cruelties practiced upon our prison-
I ers, ot starving ioundcd upon tho battle
field, of numberless inhuman projects
to consummate their schemes, wo are
forced to acknowledge it is only too true.
The following is tho article in qites-.
lion copied verbatim:
Dear to tho heart of every nation are
the legends of those who have delivered
their country from the cruelty ot a law
loss oppressor by ono bravo blow of
their own right hand. Israel had a Ju.
DiTii-, Greece an H.wiMOMUSj Homo bo.
gan with her Viiioinius; and Thi.i. has
bequothed a legacy of liberty and heroism
to Switzerland a lemeinbrnuco and nn
example to nil races of mankind who
have to know tho power of a foreign
tyrant. It is a great error and a great
wrong to confound tho memory of thoso
men and their deeds with what is called
political assassination. Under all cir
cuinslancos the justification of those
who have become the judge and exonu
tor of men who hold power according to
established law, which gives to the coin
inanity a proper remedy against their
abuse of it, nnd fixes a just punishment
to the violation of private rights, is 1 1 i 111
cult and doubtful. Even tho liuiu-s
who slew tho great Cks.vu lills a half
veiled nicho in the temple ot fame, and
roiaius a questionable glory in history,
lint nouu dares to question, no one sug
gests the. doubt, whether llioso who
have, at the risk und sicridco of their
own lives, by ono liorco personal ru-h
on tho chief robber nnd oppressor ot their
country, delivered their pooplo from the
grasp ot a foreign tyrant, whoso power
over them rests on force ot arms, not
only without oonlirhm'iou by their laws,
but in d li nice thereof. Such an net is
wholly noble, It is so grand, splendid,
and laudable, that no single deeds done
by human creatures are reckoned ho il
lustrious nnd are so justly rewarded by
the alUclioii and applause of after times
Situated us many of these Southern
Slates aro now, it is astonishing that the
heroic Jack-ion has yet found successors
in self-devotion. Several of them aro
under tho heel of foreign conquest, and
foreign despotism in its most aggravated
and outrageous form. Their most sacred
laws, the unanimous wish ofthuir peo
ple, their organic Constitution, is ubi o
gated, not by some domuslio usurper,
with a parly of their own citizens to sup
port him, but by tho foreigner coming
among them with the sword in his hand,
slaughtering and shooting those who
aro standing on their own ground, nnd
stripping thoso whom ho does not kill of
their property, covering them with in
sult, shame, and misery, . How is this
to be borne? If, through the imbecility
of their lenders and tho incompetence ot
their captains, or tho overwhelming
numbers ot soldiery at tho command of
of the oppressors, tho establishment of
this tyranny cannot be prevented, are
not single individuals willing to deliver
their country, kindred, and posterity, of
tho wrong and disgrace by slaying the
chief of these villains, even though their
own immediate death must follow?
Lovo ot life in the individuals oppress
ed is nut sufficient motive to account for
the continued existence of many satrap
established in the Southern States by tho
abominable o'igarchy at Washington.
In every community thousands of men
put a voluntary end to their lives for the
most trifling causes. Why it does not
occur to some at llioso who are recdered
desperato and weary ot living, by the
wretchedness which this invasion has
brought on them, that a glorious mar
tyrdom may now bo substituted for an
ignominious suicide, is ono of the tea
tures ot these liuus which aro most
surprising and contradictory.
It is useless to sound tho depth of
infamy that submerges the wretch who
penned tho above lines. The Enquirer
nl that time was published without giv
ing any persons nauio as its editor.
Thus the responsibility cannot be fixed
upon any certain one. It may have
been a Pollard, a Prjor, or a Davis.
Certain it is that the journals in the
Sjuth were under tho immediate espion
age of tho Confederate Government and
whatever appeared in their columns is
stamped wi h the approval of its leaders.

who has been hurt. The police of Ca

What a brave, noblo, and gonorom

Northern politicians. Fully as goners
Otis as Sdan was to Christ, when offer
ing him the "kingdoms ot this World to
fall down and worship him.'' Did God
offer tho fallen angels Amnesty ero they
had lime to ask it? Did Christ offer Ju-
d ispardon without repentance? Hut many
ot our latter-day political saints, under tho
much abused naino ot Democrats, would
teach Christ a few lessons in forgivenoss
and mercy. Hear them groan in spir
it for reb's unarmed yet unrepentant. See
their tears of hypocrisy, as they cry for
loyally, and yet laud tho virtues of
Davis, Lee, Toombs, Stephens, Wirz,
and A. Sidney Johnson, and say these are
the patriots who should administer out
laws, and in their magnanimity, beseech
them to "como up and possess the hind
and administer our Government for us.
We did all that we could tor you,
when these Puritan vandals swept over
tlio South, now wo suffer no saoiilieo

to Us legitimate conclusion. If any
there aro who doubt it, let them reter to
the Da'wjt;, the Age, the Critsti, or
any other sheet that approvingly made
quotations trotn them for discouraging
enlistments, during the war, and their
denunciations of soldiers, acts since the
war. Would a Komau Senator have
dared assort the superiority ot one ot
their conquered provinces before the de
cline of lloman patriotism ? I njoicH

call up in 11 rAcl to restore tho life of
your soldier brother, or to assist in keep
a widowed mother, or fatherless chil

pcwIeU by such damnable treason ? Why
you do not even hear them call on some
Democratic, (I. M's, or, C. M's, to make
restitution to union soldiers. And they
even pilch into the ill fated 'Evening

tion and carried on by union soldiers.
What has Hanks, Butler or Cjv do to
do with tho shipping of postitutes, in
the "Evening Star," from tho Demo
crat to city of New York, to 0110 ot tho

this degrading traifio ? Simply this ;
The Puritanic ideas of Now England,
pressing upon Now York deprives pros,

of their support. Ne w Orleans next in
this rebel-Democratic infamy it becomes

believing they must still servo southern

surplus hailots.
