J. T. RILEY, O. S.
The remains of J. T. 8. Johnson,
wero enclosed in a good plain coffin,
and buried near the Brigade Hospital
on the Nii.e Mile Roau, about four
miles from Richmond. The deceased
was one of the best oi soldiers, constant
at his post, and cheerfully doing his
duty. Of his bravery there call be no
doubt, when it is known that he volun
tened to be one of tlie color guards—a
place of known danger.
"After life’s.fitful fever he sleeps well."
All is quiot bo*li along our lines and
those of tlie enemy, so far as I call
leurn. There are stine rumors of move
ments, but any disclosure would bo im
prudent.
if 'he friends of the Regiment should
send allot tier car, a suggestion or two
may not be out of place. Bread, cakes,
(except ginger oakes) pies,-and cabbage
in warm weather, nearly always spoil,
on the way. Boxes containing vegeta
bles of any kind should be well perfo
rated, so as to give a free ventilation.
Dried fruit would be particularly ao
ceptablc—and there is nothing better
than Irish pot-atqes and onions. Pota*
toes sell hero for 50 cts a quart, and on
ions at u dollar a. dozen, it is hardly
possible for a soldier to get vegetables
of any kind.
Lex Tnglionis
Since the world began no such cruel
end-cold-blooded-'war has ever been
Waged on the siirfaoo of the globe.—
Men, woraeii and children have been,
butchered and murplered. Prisoners
liavd been hung nnd baybnetted to death
Tlie wounded liavo been actually buri
ed nlivo. Negroes have been organized
into companies and regiments,' arms
and implements of death placed in
theic hands, with orders to murder their
masters and Southerners generally —
Towns and cities have been shelled
without notico. The wanton and uni
versal destruction of life and property,
seems to bo tlie. ruling motive oi every
not of the Congress and army of the
Northern despotism. The old Demo
crats of the North, and tho Represen
tatives in-the* abolition brothel, from
the border slave Slates, sire dogged and
self-degraded below overy feeling of
just-ico, human sensibility and self-re
spect, and become tho absolute ‘ dirt-
eaters for the Lincoln kennel. Thore
is no patriotic voice in the North to
-wise tlie cry. for justice, reason and hu.
manity. All, all gone down to the pit
of fire, blood, rapine aud plundor.—
With these fncts before our eyes and
senses, what ought to he done? There
is a response daily welling up. front.the
great Southern heart—“Lcx^hgliom"

Our latest reports from Fredericks-

and indicate a Federal stampede from

unusual number of vessc-s of different'
description liavo ascended the Rappa

transportation were being used in the
removal of tho vast amount of stores
that, it is understood, were accumulat
ed at that plnce. It is not unlikely that
the stores are being removed under tho
apprehension that our farces design an
attack upon that point. From devel
opments which react: us of the move
ments of tlie enemy in tlie Valley of
Virginia, nnd along tho lines of tho
Ra| pahannock, we are warranted in
believing there is evident fear existing
in tho Federal capital that them is to
be a change of polioy in the'fhturd con
