From the Mississippiau.
Geu - Holmes—Oeu. liirby Siuilli—
Clen. Priee-Vhe Trans-Hfesis-
Mpi»i Army ami u ie Blclimoud
Ooveriiiiieait.
Mr. Editor ; \\ hen some months since
Lieutenant-Gen. E .K. rSmith ana Maj.
Lren. I rice were ordered to the department
west of the Mississippi, it was universally
understood, and stated without examplana
tion or contradiction, that Gen. Smith would
ha\e command of the department, as senior
in rank and Gen Price would be assigned
to active, untrammeled command in the Sold,
where his great and admitted talents as the
leader of armies would be made available to
the country in this, the most trying and pe
rilous hour of its fortunes. In this, the
public have b en sadly misled and deceived.
Gen. Smith preeeeded Gen. Price by a few
days to Little Rock, and when Gen. Price met
Gen. Smith on his way to Alexandria, the
latter frankly stated to the former, that his
(Gen. Smith s) expectations had been dis
appointed j that Gen. Holmes was in com
mand; would remain in edmmind; Gen.
Price would be subject to Gen. Holmes’ or
ders; that his (Geu. S’s) presence was re
quired iu Louisiana, and that for the time
but little or nothing could be done for Gen.
Price and his command. Gen. Price report
ed to Geu Holmes at Little Rock, his name
brought back thousands of the demoralized
army under Holmes; he has earnestly plead
ed for permission to lead his men to battle,
all which entreaties have been refused by
Holmes; and now to place Gen. Price as
far as possible from any foe, he has been
ordered with his wholecommand toJackson
port, Ark., and might as well for the time
be stationed in Australia.
At the time Jackson was being burnt by
Grant and Y’icksburg was being invested,
Pol. PUy Taylor, of Gen, Price’s staff,
crossed the Mississippi river to Aikansas
witnessed the efforts making by the enemy
to reinforce and feed Giant’s army, and saw
the practicability of cutting off supplies and
reinforcements from the west bank of the
nver. He made an earnest application to
Holmes to be allowed to take a few heavy
guns, and station them at a point where the
enemy’s transportation fleet could be des
traoyed, offering to work as a private and a
gunner. Holmes’ army was doing nothing
-—never was doing anything, but dying, run
ning and being captured, as at Arkansas
Post. Rut Col. Taylor’s application was
refusee, on the ground that the enemy
would land and burn the country. (They
did not burn Mississippi homes and planta
tions!) Gen. Price then went in person to
second Col. Taylor’s application. “1 will
go,' 5 said he, “and take iny division with
me ; and let the enemy laud if he dare; I’ll
whip him back into the river.” Rut Holmes
would not allow anything of the to be at
tempted.
This is only one instance out of thousands
in which that old imbecile has thwarted all
the efforts of the best officers and bravest
men in the South to aid in saving the coun
try. He had at one time 40,000 men—ear
ne?t, determined, undaunted, lighting men,
many of whom had run the gantlet of death
to get to his army ; and that host, was scat
tered, held in mud camp-, borne to the
ground with the dead march, dis heartened,
demoralized, ruined, annihilated, without
lighting one battle, or striking one blow for
the recovery of our territory, or to divert
the enemy from the Gulf States. About
PJjUOO men remained when Geu. Price
reached Arkansas. Few, when our fate trem
bles »n the balance, 15,000 to 20,000 men
are held iu a vice ; they neither help Kirby
Smith opposite Vicksburg, nor capture Hel
ena ; nor destroy the enemy’s means of sub
sistauce ; uor threaten St. Louis; nor any
thing else in God’s world to aid our cause.
Gen. Price chafes like a caged eagle, and
can only lament his aud his country’s fate.
“I have done and sought to do, God knows,
all that was in my power; I am in the ser
vice of my Government, and as a good sol
dier, my first duty is to obey orders, and
respect my superiors in rank. I can only
hope that in some way, at some time, I may
be permitted to serve our cause more effect
ually.” This is the language of that great
and gallant chieftain. Now in God’s name
will the administration jeopardize our safety?
How long will this state of things continue?
1 know that a gentleman—an officer of the
Government —a former IT. S. Senator, has
faithfully reported the main facts of the ease
to the Secretary of War at Richmond. I
know that that officer is willing to dispose
on oath before a court of chancery that, in
his solemn and deliberate judgement, formed
upon actual observation, Gen. Holmes has
not capacity, unaided, to take a carriage and
horses and make hiswiyout .of Arkansas.
Now Mr. Editor, we all have someting
stake. We want to be free from a fate
worse than death—from Yankee thraldom.
We want ? country and a home for our chil
dren. It is a great people, numbered by
millions, for whom we labor and suffer. It
is unpatriotic and criminal before God and
our country to be silent under such abuses.
It is proper to add that neither Gen. Price
nor any officer, nor private of the army has
the remotest knowledge of this communica
tion : nor have they, or any of them author
ized or requested the publication of these or
anv other facts connected with that depart
ment. Rut honestly believing that silence
was a sin against our dearest interests, I
have made myself responsible fur this arti.

1 H E NORTH CONFESS THEIR ATROCITIES.
J he North, even—we mean the honest,
conservative portion of her people—are put
to shame at the infamy and atrocities of
some of her military tyrants. The Phila
del phi a Eveuing Journal has an article on
“Barbarous Federal Generals,” in which it
speaks out thus boldly :
Whatever may be the final result of the
present sanguuary war—whether the seceded
States become subjugated or iudepeudent—•
the future impartial historian will pronounce
the judgment of posterity against a few
names that have figured conspicuously in
the Federal service.
One of these worthies is Ben Butler, who
commenced his military career at Big Beth
el and ended it at New Orleans, where he
played such frantic tricks against humanity
that the Administration was compelled to
remove him, aud appoint a man whose in
stincts are not so brutal—who, is a gentle
man—we mean General Banks.
Another one is Turchin, of Illinois, a Col
onel who was tried by a court martial for
permitting ar.d encouraging his men to ar
sou, murder, pdunder and rape ; who was
coudemned, aud ordered to be dis missed iu
dishonor from the service, which sentence
was approved by Gen. Buell aud promulga
ted, but who was immediately promoted
from his Colonelcy to a Brigadier General
ship by Mr. Lincoln, aud is now in service
under Gen. Roseucranz.
Another is an adventurer from the land
of blue noses, named McNeil, who in cold
blood ordered ten innocent non-combatants
to be shot, because they resided iu the
neighborhood of oiffe who had been abduced
from his home by a guerrilla band. The
flimsy pretext for this barbarity was, that it
was done iu retaliation, for his murder, but
his subsequent return, safe and sound, des
troyed the last prop upon which such an in
famous wholesale murder was sought to be
justified. If the heartreudering agony of
the ten widows and the wailing of their or
phaned children do not reach his conscience,
then he will suffer all the more in hell,
where theie are saints in comparigjns > him
Another name is that of Milroy, a cant
ing Methodistical preacher, who has em
braced the opportunity of eivil war to wreck
! the petty vengeance and malace of his nar
| row soul upon the unfortunate heart broken
| and impoverished women and children of
j Virginia; His conduct in West Virginia
[ was bad enough, but his ferocity in the Val
ley around Winchester, is shocking. But a
| short time since he oidered a family out of
! the lines, and would not permit them to
j take their cluiliiug with thuo. It is
that even their crinoline was denied them,
although they had treated our troops in the
most kindly manner.
He moved into the mansion immediately,
tnd appropriated it for his headquarters, to
gether with the spoons, pianos, Ac., and in
a fit of generosity, presented one of the pi
anos to a female who was residing in one of
the camps thereabout. This family, al
though it was well known to have sheltered
aud succored our soldiers when the fate of
war had thrown them captive iu the neigh
borhood, was thus cruelly and unnecessarily
thrown helpless upon the world to gratify
the last of pillage of this General.
Another name is that of Steinwelir, whose
complicity in the shocking scenes of the
burning of New Market will be remembered.
It was proven that those who were trying to
escape from the burning houses, were driv- !
eu back in the flames w ith the sabres of fe
rocious soldiers. Can the mind of man con
template a greater scene of horror than was
presented by these terrified citizens, driven
from their homes by the to&h of this incen
diary, shrieking and terror stricken ? How
they must have cried for mercy; how their
piercing shriekes must have riseu above the
the roar of the crackling flames enveloping
their own homesteads. But they did not
pierce the heart of this General. No! nor
were any of his accomplices puniahed for
this deed of infamy and horror.
Those incarnate fiends, without having
any military ability whatever, have driven
the people into hostility when they might
have been secured our friends. This article
will be construed into a disparagement of
our army and its officers, but let us tell
those who would not do so, that nothing
disparages our army so much either at home
or abroad, as the neglect to seek out and
punish the offienders; The Administration
cannot be plead ignorance of the acts.—
The acts of Butler, VlcNeil and Milroy,
were brought to their Dotice by the protest
of the enemy, while those of Turchin and
Stein weir brought forward in the evi
dence before the court martial, In every
case they w r ere protected and promoted by
the Administration, while Lieut. Edgarly j
was dismissed for voting the Democratic !
ticket in New Hampsnire, and Lieut. Van j
Buren for Dot permitting his soldiers to ri- '
flea hen roost. To insure promotion —rob
murder and destroy—to incur dismissal, ab
stain from robbery and humanity, or vote
the Democratic ticket.
Milroy’s Losses. — A CM Garrick Mai
lory, of Pennsylvania, in an intercepted let
ter dated Hospital, Maryland Heights, says:
I cannot give particulars of the battles,
which beat all within my knowledge, Suf
fice it to say that Gen. Milrcy’s account,
which I have seen, is a mere wbite-wa3hiog
affair, not giving any true version of the
facts.
I am pretty desperate, as i have lost eve
ry article I possessed, except horse, arms
and the clothing on my back. Gen. Milroy
did not bring away a gun, team, ambulance
or a third of hii command.
(ieikilixit Oiilia^e.
brom Captain L. V\ . Allen, ’commander
of the scouting party, a member of which
i aut ined MeCoull, we get the following par
ticulars ot the outrage before referred to in
these columns. \\ e state the facts as calm
ly as we can, aud with as much minuteness of
detail as we deem necessary.
At the time of the perpetration of the
outiage, Miss Cray, the victim, was visiting
at the house of a near neighbor, Mrs. Fos
ter. MeCoull came up to the house, ac
companied by two soldiers, who called him
Captain, lie, with an oath, ejected Mrs.
luster troui the house, and placing the two
men at the doors as sentinels, siczed and
foiced Miss Cray iuto a back room, despite
her cries and entreaties, and throw her up
on a bed* holding a loaded pistol at her
head ,. and threatening to blow her brains
out if she resisted him. I n this condition,
worse than death, Miss Cray was kept for
an hour and a half by the fiend, until her
mother, attracted by her screams to the
spot, looked in through the window.
shocked and overcome was the agonized
I tnothei at the spectacle, that she actually
t )e ßß t ' d the wretch to shoot her daughter !
McGoull had promised his two companions
the gratification of their lust in turn, but
the discovery hastened them all off.
After they had gone IMr. Bell, a promi
nent, citizen of the neighborhood, weut down
to York town with the two ladies named,
ai:d made complaint to Geu. Keyes, the
federal commander there. Keyes at first
spoke and acted as though he mistrusted
their mission and the statement they made.
I hey named the regiment and the company
to which MeCoull belonged, and desired an
opportunity to point him out. Keyes prac
ticed a ruse and oidered the particular regi
ment, the 2d New York, to pass in review
I before a point where the accusers stood, but
kept back the company to which MeCoull
belonged. The regiment passed, and the
| ladies said be was not there. Keyes then
became impressed with the conviction that
j there was something in the complaint, and
| ordered the company to which MeCoull ba
| longed to pass. In an iustant both ladies
; exclaimed simultaneously as MeCoull ap
peared, “That’s him! that’s him!” Me
, Uouil was called and stepped from the ranks
aslijf pffde> and trembling with fear aud agi
tation. Gen. Keye at once ordered him
under arrest in the guard house, placed
irons upeii him, and promised to have him
| court martialed and properly punished.
I _ A tew days atter this occurance, a man in
I Vanxice unnoim came over from the direc
; tnffi of Yorktown, wearing a pair of hand
< cuffs. To those who first encountered him
lie explainedhis manacled condition, by say
ing that he had been placed iu irons for
striking a non-ccminissioued officer, aud had
escaped. IT is story being plausible enough,
was believed and his fetters being broken
off he was allowed to go free. The nan
started off towards the Potomac, and in pass
ing through Mathews county, he was arrest
ed by Mr. Dobson, of Captain Allen’s com
pany. About that time a house had been
burned in the neighborhood, and Mr. Dob
son held his prisoner on that account, as a
suspicious character. The terrible outrage
on Miss Cray at the same time agitating the
community, it began to be suspected that
the prisoner might be the man. The young
lady was sent for and recognized him at
once as MeCoull, aud was so overcome as
to fall insensible to the ground.
As we have stated heretofore, MeCoull
has been brought to Richmond and confined
in Castle Thunder with a twenty four pound
ball and chain to his leg. Since his im
prisonment with the probable consequeuces
of his crimes staring him in the face, of Me-
Coull has manificsted great contrition lor
his offence. He was yesterday delivered up
to the civil authorities of Mathews county,
and returned to that place for trial.— Etch.
Ex. 20th.
A Yaukee named MeCoull if now in Cas
tle Thunder, at Richmond, on charge of
outraging the person of a lovely and inter
esting daughter of one of the most respeepa.
ble gentleman in Mathews county, Va. The
deed was done while the Federal Colonel
Kibatrick was engaged in his recent cavalry
raid. MeCoull belonged to that expedition, j
While in the Provost Marshall’s office Me-
Coull maintained a most defiant air confess- !
ed the outrage, and made rather a boast of
it, at the risk of being torn limb from limb
by a throng of assembled citizens and offi
cials. He is to be turned over to the civil
authorities immediately.

We have stated the fact of the incarcera
tion of John MeCoull, al T ankee of the Sec
ond New Ybik artillery, in Castle Thunder,
on a charge of rape, committed upon the
person of a young lady of Mathews county, j
The circumstances becoming noised among
the other prisoners confined there, (all of
whom are Confederates) their rage against
him knew no bound«, and on Wednesday
night an attempt was made to hang the
wretch to one of the rafters of the building.
The attempt was repeated yesterday morn
ing, and the cries of the fellow alarming the
guard, he was rescued by the Warden, Mr
Allen. In order to save him from the
prisoners, it was found necessary to take
him from the large room and confine him in
cell No. 6. MeCoull trembeled in his guilty
agitation, and begged to be saved trem the ;
fury of the prison mob Yesterday Me-;
Couli was taken to a blacksmith shop, in the
vicinity of the Castle, and had chain and

Hr. Louis Bauer, the health officer of the*
city, took entire charge of the case, and act

W it Lout administering a grain < t m
he ordered a thorough (wet) cupping t * the
posterior part of the head and along the
spine, following it up with ice applications
to the same extent. The patient of cour- •,
had to lay on his stomach, and was well se
cured by mechanical constraint during th s
treatment, which was continued unabated,
without interruption, for three successive
days and nights. The patient was protected
agaiust any return of paroxysm. His pulse
and breathing became quiet, the pains grad
ually left him, an isolated muscular tn idl
ing became likewise extinct.
binee Saturday last no outward svmpt m
has disturbed the steady progress of i<r .v
--ery, and on Wednesday last the patient wn
discharged from medical treatment, uppu
rently in the best of health.
'l'he case has naturally created much in
terest throughout the city, and the results
of the treatment have been looked for with
more than ordinary anxiety. It mu t be
added that in some points the case differs
irom the ordinary experience, as we under
stand the shortest period heretofore observ
ed between the inoculation of the hydropho
be poisons and the manifestation of the
disease has been several days, whereas the
present commenced forty-eight hours after
the bite.
inasmuch, however, as the Burch e:> o
has been, by quite a number ol reliable per
sons and by highly competent phv i
objections to its reality ou the ground of
time, can scarcely be permitted. It is yet
questionable whether the treatment resorted
to in this case by Dr Bauer, will be as tffi
eacious in its results in similar cases. At
any rate, this method will commend itself
to the attention ol the profession and the
public at. large, and future trials must decide
its unfailing reliability

that may be of some value to some oi
subscribers.
For Making Copperas. —Take a sto\
jar, fill it with pieces of rusty scraps of iro
fill the ja.r with very strong vinegar, cover
it, and Jet it stand for two weeks. One
quart is equal to a pound of copperas.
To Make Good Light. —Take a r-up of
grease or any kind (lard or tallowj arid in
to it put a sycamore ball, saturate it in Ihe
same, aud then light it—you will have a
light superior to tico candles. < )ne ball will
last three or four nights.
The expense will be about three cents a
night, till usual bedtime—not more, even
at the present prices of tallow.
You can publish these or not, just as you
choose; they have been fully tested.

How to Preserve Figs —“Gather the
fruit when well ripe, not too ripe,
ing the stem on it; make a syrup by melt-,
in** sugar, crushed or loaf is preferable,
brown will do; while hot dip the fig into
the syrup two or three times, and then lay
them in the sun to dry; after the fruit is
tolerably dry cover the bottom of the vessel
with fig-leaves and sprinkle thereon a layer
of sugar ; put in a layer of figs, stem up
permost; cover the fruit with sugar, and
then put in another of fruit, an i so on until
the vessel is filled. After it has 3tood this
way say forty-eight hours put a press on the
fruit and let it remain until it shall have be
come compressed thoroughly.
