Mr. Nurre His Conduct towards
Soldiers' Families.
It is unnecessary now to enumerate
the hardships and dangers that the brave
men who compose our armies are endur
ing, in order that we may live in the en
joyment of peaceful and quiet homes. It
is needless for us to enumerate the sleep
less nights that they spend upon louely
picket posts or in line of battle, that we
may sleep soundly between clean sheets
and under comfortable blankets. Nor
need we speak of the horrors of the hos
pital where, stretched upon hard mat
trasses, they toss away the weary nights
with no one near to speak a comforting
work or cool their feverish lips. These
things are all known to our readers.
They have seen them they have felt them
But the toils and sufferings are not all the
soldier is compelled to endure. He
can stand these with the courage of true
manhood. It is on'y when he learns
that the dear ones he left behind him are
suffering for the necessaries of life, that
his heart sinks within him and he be
comes gloomy with despair.
When he enlisted the country was will
with enthusiasm and patriotism. The
men of wealth said to him, " go," and
we will see that your family does not
want for anything. We cannot go our
selves, but we can give, and will give
liberally, to those who do go. Thousands
of patriotic men enlisted under such cir
cumstances. They went to fight
for the old flag, expecting that those
who remained at borne, to make
money while they shed their blood, would
at least share their profits with their
needy families. They have proved true
to their obligations. They have fought
some of them have died many of them
have been made cripples for life. Have
onr citizens proved equally faifthful in .
discharging their obligations? We be- i
lieve they would, were it not for some j
, ,
base souls who, by accident, occupy a I
position between the soldiers' families
and those who would provide for their
comfort Of such are our Board of
County Commissioners. We mean just :
what we say.
During the past summer a great
amount of sickness has prevailed in our :
city. In addition, the necessaries of '
life, as well as house rent, have been un-
usually high. In consequence, many
families of the soldiers who are now :
standing between us and danger, have i
suffered to an unusual extent. We learn
that several families, who got along "last
year without applying for any assistance,
are now inffering keenly for the want
of many little comforts. Mr. Greek,
our Township Trustee, notified the Board
of Commissioners of these sufferings
and urged them to make an appro
priation for relief. He went further.
That the Board might be deprived of all
excuse for not making an appropriation,
he circulated a petition, requesting the
Board to make an appropriation, which
was signed by the largest tax-payers in
the city. Our citizens are willing to pay
nuerany mat me iamny ol every soldier guns ot our manutacturers, none ol

All alike feel the justice of it, and m
would respond cherfully according to
their ability. No one to whom it was
presented refused to sign it. Mr. Greek
thought, however, he had name enough,
and did not circulate the petition to the friend in Pittsburg, and gives a thrilling

Yet he has the audacity to ask the friends
of these brave boys to vote to retain
him as County Commissioner a position
he thus disgraces.
Nearly every county in the State has
already made provision for destitute fam
ilies of soldiers. Our county is not a
whit behind others in patriotism and
cursed with an ignorant, parsimonious
Board of Commissioners who do not
liberality. Unfortunately, however, it is
sympathize with our gallant boys, and
who will do nothing toward making their
families comfortable if it can be helped- !

That object is to make the soldiers dis- j
contenied and dissatisfied. A brave j
man cannot bear to hear that his loved ;
ones at home are suffering. He can en-
,. . . , .
dure his own privations and toils,
but he cannot endure the thought that
the wife of his bosom and the children of
heart's affections are suffering for the j

mind will interfere with the discharge of
his duties, if it does not induce him to
desert The latter course would be the 1
consummation these Commissioners de- j
sire. If they were Fully apprised that
the men from this county would become
haters of the Government and denoun
cers of the administration, they would,
we doubt not, withhold appropriations
till doomsday. They want the soldiers
to become dissatisfied, and if they can be
made so no other way, these County
Commissioners would accomplish their
purpose through the sufferings of the
soldiers' families.
Mr. Nurre has asked the people to re
tain him in the office of Commissioner.
He was chosen by the otha two mem
bers of the Board to fill the vacancy oc
casioned by the death of Judge Foster.
We cannot think the people will retain
him in that position, when he seems so
unwillin t;j make any appropriations
for the reii-1!' of the wives and children
of the soldier. Our people want a man
of a different stripe. They want a man
of more generous impulses, more patri
otic spirit and broader views. They
will vote for no man who is not a genuine
friend of the soldier.

British and American Artillery.
The London Times don't feel entirely
comfortable over the performance of
Gillmore's guns at Charleston. It says
the siege guns used against shore fortifi
cations by the Federals at Charleston
have certainly done what nobody would
expect of any guns in our service. They
have battered down a fort at two miles'
range; they have shelled a town at five
miles, and we are assured they would be
perfectly effective for the same work at
seven miles. Here there can be ng doubt j
uuuui me jjrucuce, auu it leaves me pow
ers of our artillery far behind. Possibly
some of the guns may have beeu disa
bled, and there may be other drawbacks
from their general, efficiency of which
we are not informed, but the preat fact
remains that Charleston was shelled
from five miles distance, and Fort Sum-
ter knocked to pieces at about hah' that
range. Could our sixty-eight pounders
suh ,servic,f as4l this? II
must be observed, too, that these enor-
mou9 guns were brought from a consid-
erable distance to the scene of action,
all(l that a11 the necessarv material had
to, similarly transported. ; Snch ex-
pious open a new epocn in sieoe opera-
tions. We do not suppose that rort
Sumter was any fair specimen of a forti
fication, but that is of no importance to
the moral. The moral is that guns of
about three times the calibre used in our
service have been successfully employ
ed for breaching and bombarding pur
poses at a range hitherto unknown.
The article concludes as follows:
" We are compelled to conclude that
the Americans are giving us a ksson in
the capabilities of siege artillery. We
cannot say what practice may be made
with the Armstrong 110 pounder, but we
do not imagine that we have any batter
ing guns in our service which could send
their balls through twenty-six feet of
earth, or through eleven inches of
wrought iron, backed by twenty-four
inches of solid oak. Yet the Federals,
if we are to accept their own statements,
have actually made a gun equal to this
work, and have placed it in position be
fore Charleston. It may be said, per
haps, that other European nations are
left in the rear like ourselves, by these
new discoveries; but that may not be the
case long. The Russians, we are told.

(roro Nashville, 8th.
Up to this time we have no news of
special importance regarding the doings
either of our own forces or those of the
enemy in the neighborhood of Chatta
nooga. Railroad communication has
not been resumed. The damage to the
railroad is greater than was at first sup
posed. Information has been received i
which goes to show that the enemy has
divided his mounted force engaged in
the recent raid into several detachments,
and these again iuto minor ones, and
that such detached hands now infest the
mountains and woods iu those neighbor
hoods, thereby rendering common road
travel dangerous for other than strong
military commands.
Telegraphic communication is sti.ll in
terrupted to-day between here and Ste
venson, Alabama. It is reported it will
be 0. K. again to-night.
I saw a gentleman to day who was
made prisoner by the rebel forces when
they were in the neighborhood of Mur
freesboro. This gentleman says the
rebels intended to roach our railroad lines
some two days soonet than they did, but
owir.g to unforeseen causes and deten
tion incident to moving their artillery,
they were delayed and had to make extra
efforts to get up in time to cause their
movement to be a surprise or to effect
the object. He also says the rebels admited
having failed to carry out to full success
their main design, and they destroyed
the railroad and bridges as much to pro
tect their retreat and for the sake of do
ing some mischief, as they did from any
consideration of interfering with-Rose-crans
