COMMUNICATIONS.
Sergeant Green on the B ar.
Serge ant Green'» regiment ami company
are unknown. It ie impossible even to ascer
tain what sovereign State contributes his val
uable uiil fo the Confederate army of Virginia.
He wrote a letter last September—an inter
esting letter in some points of view—which
unfortunately never reached its destination.
In lact postal facilities were not altogether
within reach of Confederate sergeants in
Marj land at that titne, and Sergeant Green
happening to be at Antietain some three days
after writing bis tetter, inadvertantly dropped
it. U was picked up by a soldier of the 10th
Maine regiment, who also happened to be at
Antietam on the same day, and would doubt
less have returned it to the author, bad not
the Sergeant left tiie field, and iu fact the
Suite, with a certain abruptness, which put
the restoration of hi» property out of ques
tion. Such being the case, the finder has
thought proper to publish the letter in the
I'reae. Its style is forcible, rather than elegant.
The terrible swearing ill Flanders, as reported !
by Sterne's Ujicle Toby, was elementary when
compared with the development of the same
vice In tbe Confederate cainp, as illustrated
by Sergeant Green. But coming to the mat
ter of the letter—a single question suggest*
itself. If this docuuieut represents the mind
of tbe Confederate rank and file, how long
will armies thus minded bold together in the
face of disaster? The leaders will fight with
desperation. How far can they lead their
armies into a struggle grown rtiilcntly des
perate ? The letter follows, stripped of most
of its superfluous epithets :
Is Camp, nkak Haokhstows, I
Sept. 14, lSCZ f
Dear Jim: We arrived here yesterday,
after lmrd marching. We marched over to
Maryland on last Thursday week. Kver since
we left Gordonsville we have have had a bell
of a time; first, fighting with old l'ope, and
then hard marching alter tbe Yankees, and
living on green corn ; then muddy water, hard
fighting, bard fare, and most damnable hard
marching; my feet got so sore, (1 was first
barefooted,) i can hardly get along. Our boys
are nearly worn out, but still we are dragged
along at the point of the bayonet, by our
officers, who don't care a curse lor us, so we
do the fighting and they get the honor of whip
ping the Yankees. 1 am dead sick of this war,
and if I only had known when 1 entered the
service that the war would last so Ιοηκ. and
Huit we would be led such an eternal dog's
lil'e, 1 would have ruu away Γγοιμ tin· whole
.Southern Confederacy ; for 1 do think that we
have been humbugged by our officers. What
in the difference to you and 1, Jim, whether
we live under old Al>e or Jetf. Davis? Neither
of tlieiu cares for us, only to do their «gluing !
anil voting, and I begin to think we have been ,
fooled by a set of officers, sneaking villains,
who are too lazy to work, and have lost a good
tat picking by the electiou of Lincoln, and
want us poor white niggers to build their
bouse lor thein, while they don't care if it falls
and kills every one of us, if they can keep
their niggers. Y >u may think 1 talk queer for a
sergeant in the Confederate army, but 1 will
he damned it 1 don't lielieve it's tiine to stop
this killing of poor while men.

To the Relative* of Returned Volunteers.
Portland, May il, lfcMKJ.
To the Kilifor of the Prent :
Some of our friends have already returned,
and others will soon follow them. It is there
fore important to consider what is our duty in
the matter. Without doubt many of the dis
charged soldiers would of themselves choose
tore-enlist, lint 1 see that some, at least, of
their friends and relatives an- disposed to dis
courage the idea, and prevent their rendering
the couutry any further service.
Is this right? Is it the part of true lovers
of the Union?
A tried soldier, inured to the various hard
ships of the camp and the lield, is certainly
worth two raw recruits. The time of the nine
months men so shortly expires that it is worth
while to ask ourselves il we can afford, in the
present crisis, to await the drilling and prepar
ation of another new body of men. Does
anv one lielieve that we ought so to do? lie
move from the question ali pe « mat consider
ations, and I think we could not fail to »<*e
that such of the returned soldiers as are not
• physically disabled ought at once to re-enlist.
This being their duty,ours is very plain;
and let us recollect that we claim to love the
Union, and to desire above all things its pres
ervation.
The South is hoping to make succcssful ad
vances against us while our army is reduced
by the withdrawal of so many men as will
soon leave the ranks. To supply their places
with the totally inexperienced is to create one
difficulty to remove another. Then to dis
courage the return of a single volunteer is to
nid the rebellion an4 gratify til»· warmest de
sires of its supporters. Shall we do this?
Our friends love home, and their choice is
not lightly made. They well know what war
mean*. Our object should be to lessen rather
than increase the obstacles in their pathway.
I am not recommending a course for others
in which I need not walk myself. I know of
what I speak. In the past two years I have ;
borne with others the anxiety and suspense
whicli no love of country can subdue. I have
listened with shuddering to the telegrams that
awakened fears which they had no power to
allay. Day after day have I opened tremb
lingly the damp morning paper, longing yet
fearinz to read it* contents, and if the country
needs the sacrillce I can l>ear in the future
what I have borne in the past. Will not oth
ers do the same?
It is hard to enter again upon trials from
which we have just escaped ; but if we truly
love our country, we ought to feel that not
even tlie lives of our dearest friends are too
high a price to pay for its unity and prosperity.
In times « hen selfish fears may blind us, the
only measure for our own duty is what we
would consider right for others in the same
circumstances.
Duties cannot conflict. It being right for
our husbands, sons and brothers, to continue
their service through the war unless disabled,
it certainly must be wrong for us to discour
age tliein in so doing.
The only questions are: is the war unavoid
able i* is it a just conflict ? To these it seems
to me there can be but one answer. That lie
ing in the affirmative, as if we are honest it
cainiot fail to lie, let us not even by silence aid
the enemies of our country. We ought nev
er to forget that nations are composed of indi
viduals, and that all history is but the sum of
individual action. In ordinary times it is of
little or 110 consequence what small clUpiCM or
parties may do. but now none can compute
the importance of even the slightest ripple on
the current of affairs.
Iiet us ever remember this, ami let our con
duct be such that whatever may he the result
ol this fearful war, our hearts can never con
demn ns for selfish faltering. !S. J. F.

On board U. S. Steamer, L»e Soto, I
Mf of Mexico, April SB, 1863. J
* * * Yesterday we took four prizes
in Mobile bay—one schooner, the ^'General
Prim"; a iHautiliil pleasure boat called the
'•Kapid," and very much like the "Sparkle" (I
think that is the name) of 1'orlland; a sloop
named the "Bright"; and another sloop, the
"Jane Adelia." They were loaded mostly
with cotton, but had also turpentine and other
lading, worth altogether at least ίι!'),1 HA). My
share will be about $300.
We took a part of each crew 011 board our
steamer, and put armed men 011 the prizes to
take care of them, and look all in tow. We
have thirteen of the men 011 board. They
sav there is awlul distress ainoug the poor at
Mobile. · · ·
Dumiay, aw/ι.— « e nave just taken another
schooner, loaded with a miscellaneous cargo
of lea, collee.,rum. salt, Ac., Arc., intending to
run into Mobile. She hoisted the hiiglish Hag,
but it did'nt save lier. We have now, Ave in
tow—<|uite a fleet—and are making for Key
West. · · ·
I should like to have you on board some
fine day (and all the days are flue here) to
witness a chase. I know you would enjoy it.
We run along as slowly as we can, until the
man at the mast-head sings out, "Sail Ι10Γ'
"Where away ?" "Three points o.T port bow."
The officers get their telescopes, opera glasses,
&c., and look sharp in the direction indicated
by the lookout. Soon she is seen from deck,
no latger than a bird. We change our rate of
spend from six to sixteen knots an hour,—and
then comes the sport. She sees us alter her,
and puts on all sail, or if a steamer puts on all
steam, and horse-racing bears no comparison.
We gain on her. She grows larger and is
seen more plainly. She runs well; we run
I letter. We gel within a inile of her—runout
a rifled cannon—throw a ball aller her. When
the gunner is just ready to tire, he asks the
captain, "Where shall ί sight, sir?" "Right
at her!"—the ball dro|is close over her. and
ruuml *hr comeβ, lest the next should make a
hole somewhere. We lower a lioat, with men
who bring her to the stem if no oilier is in
sight. If another is in sight, our men remain
on board, and we take her captain w ith us in
pursuit. All steer to one point at last, and
are taken ill tow.
We often chase war steamer-, and come
along side with every man at his post and
every gun manned for a tight. We have done
so iu the night, and one night came very near
a light with a French man-of-war. · · ·

MOKE TESTIMONIALS !
MRS. MANCHESTER
IS constantly receiving unsolicited Testimonials
of the atlonithing cures performed by her.
Among many recently received are tlie following,
which are commended to the notice of the afflict
ed. Mrs. Manchester may be consulted at the
Preble House, Portland, Rooms Nos. 40 and 41.
Auother very bad ('n*e of Fit» cured by
Mrs. Manchester.
Thinking a statement of my case may be of
some benefit to others similarly affected, I will
give it to the public : Some years ago I was at
tacked with spasms, and had them often ; final
ly they became very hard Fits ; I would have
them at any time and in any place. I have been
to a number of physicians, and all to no pur
pose. I grew worse until I was almost unfit for
auy business. I came to the conclusion to cal
on Mrs. Manchester, through a friend's persua
sion. I did call on her. She gave me a satis
factory examination in every particular—she
told me that she could cure me, but that the pro
cess would be slow. I commenced taking her
medicine; the disease gradually lessened, not
having the fits so often or as hard. Finally my
general health gained in the meantime, and for
several months I have not had any of the fits,
and can truly say that 1 think Mrs. Manchester
has been my benefactor. For further particu
lars call on me at my residence, 88 State street.

Mrs. Manchester—Dear Madam :—Tliink
ing a statement of my case may be of service to
others similarly afflicted, I hasten to give it to
you.
This is briefly my case—I was taken sick about
18 months ago with the Liver Complaint in a
very bad form. I applied to four different phy
sicians, but received no benefit until I called on
you. At thatjtime I bad given up business, and
was in a Very bad state, but after taking your
medicine for a short time I began to recover,and
η two months I was entirely well, and had gain
ed several pounds of flesh, and can truly say
that by your skill I am a perfectly healthy man.
Joseph Davis.
Boston ή· Maint Depot, Portland, Mr.
Li.mington, July 10th.
Thii is to certify that I have been cured of
Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint and Female Weak
ness, by Mrs. Manchester, after I had been giv
en up by twelve or fifteen physicians ; ami when
I commenced taking her me licine I was so weak
that I could not bear the least food 011 my stom
%ch; but iu a very short time I began to recover,
and have rapidly regained my health, and am
; now going on a long journey. I would heartily
j recommend all invalids to go and see her above
, all οΟφ physicians. Abby L. Hiqqins.
I wish to say to the public generally that I
called on Mrs. Manchester with a child of mine
that had fits, and had had them for five years;
I carried hitn to a great number of physicians,
but tliey all did him no good, and he finally
grew worse. I took him to Mrs. M.; she told
me what his complaint was, and how he was
while in the fits,and told me she could cure him,
and she has, for he has never had but two fits
j since, and before that lie had them every night

I wish to say for the benefit of my fellow citi^

relieved of it.
