a surgeon connected with the fifty-second regi
ment Indiana volunteers, "have killed many i
blood-hounds, valued at $100 apiece. These
dogs, kept to hunt runaway negroes, were put

ter.”
Is it “policy” to kill an animal so valuable to
the Southern gentleman to keep his slaves in
order? Will not such ruthless conduct as this
<u«h.‘r exasperate the South ? Who can doubt
that by such imprudent acts as these, our South
ern brethren are reudered more and more
unanimous?—N. T. Post.

J^”Tlie editor of the Hallowed Courier,
who has been calling for “more light and less
sentiment,” but still refuses to fight himself,
says he “is waiting” for us to go ahead. This
waiting for somebody else Is just what has
proved the greatest incubus upon the loyal
cause. We have never kuowu any good to
come of your “waiting” men. They wait till
somebody else has averted the danger, and then
growl at the manner in which it lias been done.
For our part we have waited for nobody, but
since the first gun at Sumter we have been
fighting the rebels—if not in Virginia, at least
in Maine. Come, Newman, wait no longer.
JjyThe Hallowed Courier slightly mistakes
in saying “Gilmau of the Press” proposed to
obey the young lady’s advice and “rush to
arms, “provided she was pretty.” Gilmau is,
unfortunately, no “lady’s man.” It is the hand
some editor of the Press who attends to that
business.
jy Dr. Storrs told of a returned prisoner,
who, having suffered the indignities of rebel
ladies of the South, thanked God that the dev
il was not a woman. This has been circulated
at the expense of the “sex,” as though, if the
devil had been a woman, he would have been
less amiable than be now is. This does vio
lence to the soldier’s meaning. No soldier is
so ungallant as that. He was simply thankful
that, the devil not being a woman, a crop of
young devils whs not so likely to be scattered
over the earth.
jy-One of those smoking ears on the K.

road for the first time last Saturday. It is ad
mirably planned and finished, having the Post
Office room in one end, and a wash-room, and
other conveniences in the other, and is the

energetic Superintendent, Mr. Cushman, in
forms us that the other one will he ready to

Mr. Cushman.
The First Sopth Carolina Negro Reg
iment.—Tliis regiment, organized at Hilton
Head, by Gen. Hunter, has been placed under
the command of Captain Fessenden, who is to
act as its Colonel. He is a young man, and,
son of Senator Kesseuden of Maine. The reg
iment originally numbered a little upward of
seven hundred; after they had been drilled for
a month they were sifted; some three hundred
were discharged, and sent home; some on ac
count of physical disability, others on account
fo their unwillingness to remain in the service,
and others for various disqualifying causes. |
The corps now numliers about four hundred
and fifty, divided into seven companies. These
companies are officered by non-commissioned
officers, detailed (with their own consent)
from various regiments in the department.—
The office of First or Orderly Sergeant, is
filled in tke same manner, hut the otlier Ser
geants and the Corporals are blacks.
Soi-thkbn Deception. — It is stated in
Wall Street that Gov. Moore,of Louisiana, has
sold his ci op of sugar to a “Liucolnite’’ house
in New York, through an agent iu New Or
leans; and it is believed the sale lias been con
summated since the issue of the Governor’s
famous proclamation, threatening with death
any one w ho should hold communication with
the “ruthless invaders.” Comment is unneces
sary.
Negroes Coming.—A correspondent of the
World, with Gen. Pope’s army, says:
Squads of negroes are constantly pouring
into the camps. They come from every direc
tion, and many of them have travelled incred
ible distances. Some have come all the way
from Alabama. 1 have tried in vain to draw
out from most of them the purpose which act
uated them to make their escape. Scarcely a
darkey of them has formed any definite notion
of what is to become of them. He is ready
for anything, and lays aside all solicitude as
soon as he gets inside the lines.
Intervention.—“Malakoff” the Paris cor
respondent of the New York Times, says em
phatically in his letter of July 25th, that fear
of French intervention in American affairs
have not a shadow of a prospect of realization
unless brought about by some collateral ques
tion. such as that ol Mexico. The tone of the
French papers lias been materially smoothed
down.
Hiratn A. Turner of Bath, of Co. A, 3d
Maine Regiment, who was wounded at tile

in tlie hospital at Baltimore, arrived home on

ZW“ The Oxford Democrat, whose editor
was a prominent candidate for Governor in
the Republican Convention, magnanimously
says:
While we shall do evervthing in our power
to effect the election of Jir. Coburn, God for
bid we should say a single word agninst the
gallant Jameson. Aside from party connec
tions and relations, we could most cheerfully
give him our vote.
Z3T~ Bro- Tenney speaks of the hay still
standing, the farmers not being able to procure
help to cut it. “All flesh is”—hay! How will
that do for an improved reading of the sacred
text?
The armory in Springfield, Massachu
setts, makes 14,000 stand of arms a month. In
a short time that establishment, with the five
private shops in operation there will lie able
to manufacture 35,000 guns per month.
Cy All lazy people who prefer dirt and
sweatjto cleanliness, will thank Dr. Hall of the
Journal of Health, for his argument against
frequent bathing, and for urging the injurious
effects upon the cuticle of frequent applica
tions of soap and soft water.
