Rebel Letter.
Bowdoin College, Oct. 22,1862.
To the Editors of the Daily Dress :—Tlie
following letter, written by a grandfather to
an officer in the rebel army, may be of interest
as showing the feelings of some of the South
ern people who are very evidently sincere. The
letter is written in the style of the latter part
oflast century, but very legible and neat. It
was taken from the portmanteau of a rebel of
ficer after the evacuation of Harper's Ferry,
and there can be no doubt of its genuineness.
The advice given, and the high Christian
and patriotic sentiment which is breathed
through the whole of it seems worthy of a bet
cause; and the ideas are such that some of t he
worshippers of wars, who are about to go
forth to war from our own State, might with
advantage apply to themselves. The punctua
tion and spelling is same as the original.
Baton Rocoe, 17, June 1861.
Dear John:—As you are about to enter
in, (to your) a new profession a few words of
advice may be acceptable to you, and I hope
beneficial.
The office you hold is an important one.
Your country placing confidence in your in
tegrity, patriotism and capability have granted
you a commission to defend her interests and
her honor.
I trust that you will by your conduct show'
that you are not unworthy of her confidence,
but calmly bravely, and nobly perform your
duty to your country, to your fellow officers,
and the men under your command.
Be firm and decided,but kind and humane to
all the soldiers. Protect them from insult.aml
as much as possible keep them from quarreling
and bitter feelings among themselves.
The efficiency of a soldier depends very
much upon being in good health and condi
tion. Therefore take every means to preserve
their health and keep their spirits up. Never
overtax their strength unless some important
act is to lie performed. If in good health and
spirits they will perforin great and noble acts
when the occasion demands if. Kind atten
tion paid to them when sick, or depressed.will
secure their affection and their services. Your
knowledge of medicine will enable you to do
much for the health and comfort of the men
under your command.
If they have to suffer, as soldiers often do,
endeavor to alleviate them or share with them.
Do all in your power to preserve their mor
als. A company of demoralized uien is unfit
for any great and noble act.
If called into action do not foolishly expose
the lives of the men. Endeavor by your con
duct and counsel to inspire them with a bold
determined bravery, that no men can resist.
Be cool and take advantage of every misstep
of the enemy.
But above all seek the aid and protection of
the God of the armies. He alone is able to
give you wisdom.inspire you with courage,aud
shield you in the day of battle.
Yield a cheerful obedience to the laws of
God, and your country, and serve them hon
estly, and faithfully against all their enemies
and opposers whomsoever.
Follow’ the example of the immortal Wash
ington, who daily prayed that the great God
would bless and protect him aud his country.
Be just, be calm, put your trust in God and
fear not. I believe our cause is just, and hope
we shall triumph.
Write to me as often as you can. May God
be your friend and portion.
am vuuuau; ^i aiiui.u nt*r,

Letter from the Maine 19th.
Headquarters is»th Maine Reg., 1
, Bolivar Heights, Va., Oct. 17th. )
It has been discovered within a day or two
that a servant of one of our division Generals
has been in the habit, for a short time at least,
of making his own selection from the division
mail bag, without any reference to his own
superscription.
The young man is in irons and will be dealt
with severely, we hope, for the moral effect
upon others who may be similarly disposed.
Some regiments have recently been paid off,
and many intended to relieve the necessities
of dear and anxious wives and mothers, have
thus been diverted.
I will not Lake the time to tell you of our
situation, save that we are on the high land in
Virginia, overlooking Harper’s Ferry on the
north and east, and in the opposite direction,
affording us a view of the Blue Ridge and in
tervening spots of interest,such asCharlestown,
where a little fighting was done yesterday.
More work is to be done here yet, I think.
Two balloon ascensions were made from this
vicinity to-day. Not being a “special artist” I
should not attempt a sketch of the aerial mon
ster, even though your puper were a pictorial
One object I had in view in this brief com
! lnunication. was the correction of an impres
I sion made by some wide awake metropolitan
reporter, as to the verdancy of the 19th Maine.
I refer to the “bomb-shell" and “frying pan"
story, confuted on its very face. The facts are
these: When our forces came into possession
of this locality, there were quite a number of
! loaded shells lying scattered about, hardly any
j two in a place. Our Colonel cautioned the
men about handling them, remarking, that as
j they were capped they might explode. No
order had been given by the proper authority
| for the disposal of them, and in.the arranging
j ol the camp three or lour of them w'ere piled
j together. Some reckless fellow kicked them
about a little, and one exploding the rest fol
! lowed suit,very providentially injuring no one.
Col. Sewall was on the ground within two
minutes alter the occurrance, and I have the
facts from him, cunllrined by any number of
others.
It seems a pity to spoil so good a story, but
the fact is, our men are not all green, nor are
our olii jers any of them regardless of the wel
fare of those under their charge, what story
soever may be spoiled by the makiug of it
known. When I write again it may be from a
different locality. P.
Statement of Gen. Garibaldi.
The following letter from Gen. Garibaldi,
relating to the unhappy conflict at Aspro
monte, will be read with interest:—
“Ox board the Di ke ok Genoa .Sept. 1.
They thirsted lor blood, and I wished to
spare it. Not the poor soldier who obeyed,
but the men of clique who eannot forgive the
revolution for being a revolution—it is that
w hich disturbs their Conservative digestion—
ami for having contributed to the re-establish
ment of our Italian family.
"Yes, they thirsted for blood; I perceived it
with sorrow and I endeavored in consequence
to the utmost to prevent that of our assailants
from being shed.
“I ran to the front of our line, crying out to
them not to tire, and from the center to the
led, where my voice and those of ray aides-de
camp could be heard, not a trigger was pulled.
It was thus on the attacking side. Having ar
rived at a distance of 200 metres, they began
a tremendous tire, and the party of Hersaglicri
who were in front of me directing their shots
against me. struck me with two balls, one in
the left thigh, not dangerous, the other in the
.i.vl.'Li .ti,o ~ _:_
I wound.
“As all this happened at the opening of the
i conflict, and 1 was carried to the skirt of the
: wood after being wounded. 1 could see nothing
, more, a thick crowd having formed around
! me while my wound was being dressed. I felt
certain, however, that up to the end of the line
which was at my litter, and to,t Imt of my aides
de-camp. not a musket was fired. As there
was no tiring on our side, it was easy for the
troops to approach and mingle with ours, and
when I was told that they wished to disarm
u», I replied that the tnen might disarm them
selves. The intentions of my companions were,
however, so little hostile, that I only by this
disarmed in the crowd some officers and regu
lar soldiers.
It was so on our right. The Picciotti, at
tacked by tlie regular troops, replied by a fire
upon the whole line, and although the trump
ets sounded to cease firing, there was at that
spot a smart fusilade, which lasted not more
tlian a quarter of an hour.
My wounds led to some confusion in our
line. Our soldiers, not seeing me, began to
retreat into the wood, so that little by little
the crowd round me broke up, and the most
faithful alone remained. At this moment I
learned that my stall, and Col. Pallavineino,
who commanded the regular troops, were ne
gotiating upon the following considerations:
first, that I should lie free with my staff to
withdraw where I pleased. (Ireplid‘011 lioard
an English vessel'); second, that having ar
rived at the seashore, the rest of my compan
ions should be set at liberty. Col. Pallavinei
no conducted himself as a valarous and intel
ligent chief in all bis military movements, and
he has not been wanting in respect or cojrte
•A towards me and my pcoule. lie showed
his grief in having to sited Italian blood, but
he had received peremptory orders, and had
to obey them.
M y arrangements bad iieen purely defensive,
and I had hoped to avoid a conflict, seeing the
very strong position that I occupied, and en
tertaining the hope that the regular troops had
received orders less sanguinary. Il l had not
been wounded at the outset, and if my people
had not received the order under all’ circum
stances to avoid any collision whatever with
the regular troops, the contest between men
of tlie same race would have been terrible.
However, fir better as it is. Whatever may
be the result of my wounds, whatever late the
Government prepares for me, 1 have the con
sciousness of having done my duty; and the
sacrifice ofiny life is a very little thing if it has
contributed to save that of a great number of
my fellowmen.
"Iu the hazardous enterprizein which I and
my companions had thrown ourselves, witli
heads itent, I hoped nothing good from the
Government or Itattazzi. But why should I
not have hoped for less rigor on the part of the
King, having altered in nothing the old pro
gramme, ami having decided not to alter it at
any price? What affects me most is this fatal
distrust, which contributes not a little to tlie
incompleteness of national unity. However it
may be, I once again present to Italy a serene
front assured of having done my duty. Once
more my unimportant lile and the more pre
cious ones of so many generous young men have i
been ofl'ered as a holocaust to the holiest of '
causes—uure from all vile and nersnnal inter- I
G. Garibaldi.
Idleness the Mother of Secession.—
A correspondent writes from Kentucky that
the recruits which the enemy got from that
State were of the worst class of the popula
tion; their ahseuce is a blessing rather than
otherwise. They belong to the thriftless, dis
sipated. non-productive classes. Only last eve
ning we heard two fathers attempting to ac
count for the difference in the conduct of their
sons. Both were slaveholders, and the elder
one in explanation said; "Well, you always al
lowed your boys to loaf, drink, and gamble at
pleasure, furnishing them with money to do
so. They prided themselves upon being gen
tlemen, living without working. Mine I sent
to school, and afterwards to the farm. They
are now in the Union army, yours in the dis
union army. Yours were spoiled by associa
tion with the rich, dissipated young Carolin
ians, and strangers, liic illtt lachromae.” Ou
my soul, neighbor,” replied the other, “I be
lieve you are about right. I should have
taught my boys to work, but I thought I loved
them too much.”
The French papers publish accounts of the
expedition of M. I.amhaut to Madagascar.—
Its object being primarily the spread ofcivil
izatiou and toleration, the envoy took out for
the princesses of that island an abundant stock
of crimson robes, having skirts resplendent
with embroidery, sent by her imperial majes
ty. But the object of universal interest
among the fair was the expanding crinoline,
which took everything else down, the only
question being whether it should l>e worn
above or beneath the dress. A French officer
says that one of the Kaduma's daughters de
cided on wearing the "cage” on the outside,
and probably that will be the fashion in Mada
gascar.
A Brave Bov.—A boy twelve years of age,
named Hurk, escaped from the Indian attack
on a settlement near Lake Shetek, Minn., and
carried and led his baby brother, two years
old, sixty miles to New Ulm, the nearest set
tlement. The "babes in the woods” were
fourteen days making the journey, subsisting
on wild fruit and roots. The mother of the
children has since been rescued.
Meetings continue to I* held throughout
Great Britain for the purpose of expressing
sympathy with Garibaldi, and urging her maj
esty’s government to exert its influence with
the French government in favor of the libera
tion oi Borne.
The Boston Journal, while admitting
that Gov. Andrew may have made some mis
takes, and ackowledging that it does not al
ways agree with his spoken or written opinions
on national affairs, says:
It is to the honor of Governor Andrew that
his official service, however energetic and me
thodical, has not been of the mere red tape or
der, but has been animated by that humane
spirit w hich is most dear to the homes of New
England. lie is, indeed, the soldier’s friend.
From the time when he thrilled all loyal hearts
by the entreaty that the bodies of Massachu
setts' sous, murdered in the streets of Balti
more. might be tenderly conveyed home, down
to his last efforts at Washington to have the
sick and wounded transferred from the dreary
hospitals to their own loving firesides, nothing
on his part that could contribute to the com
fort or soothe the sufferings of the common
soldier has been left undone. His readiness to
convey to the public, through the press, all
important news relating to the army, is an ev
idence of the same quality, which has appear
ed i iff the courtesy and unwearied efforts of his
personal attention to the soldiers and their
families during the whole of the last two
years.
A new infernal machine, claimed to be ade
quate for the destruction of iron clad vessels,
is undergoing government tests in the royal
dockyard of Copenhagen. The apparatus,
which is extremely simple, and costs but little,
consists of a glass reservoir filled with pow
der, floating at a certain depth, where by a
very simple chemical means it produces an
explosion. In the first experiment, when
loaded with a very small charge, the effect was
amazing. The frame of the gunboat was
shattered, and some of the planks used thrown
to a height of eighty or one hundred feet. On
a second trial the explosiou threw upa column
of water one hundred feet high, and the shock
was felt at a considerable distance.
Street railways are to be immediately intro
duced into the cities of Hamburg and Altona.
A system of city railroads has also been de
vised by Herr Muller, a civil engineer, for
Berlin and Vienna, the lattter to be soon con
structed.

In persons of all ages, no medicine has aver come fa
the knowledge of the public, that so effectual]} does
it work and at the same time leaves the bowels in au
active, healthy condition, as

That for Children Cutting Teeth, if troubled with
Diarrhteu or aii^* irregularities of the bowels, all oth*
or remedies are insignificant, as compared with
CLEM S SUMMER CURE.
That for Children troubled with Canker in mouth
or stomach, or mothers suffering from nursing sora
mouth, a sate aud speedy cure ia effected by the use of
CLEM S SUMMER CURE.
That for Coughs. Hoarseness and Bronchial affect
ions, there i* no remedy extant that so uuiveisally
affords relief as
HOWES’ COUGH TILLS.
That for a Tightness or Wheezing in the Chest
Tains in the aide, or a long standing Hack, the beat
