Direcaly after the battle of Cold Harbor these pretended soldiers be gan to be noticeable in the Army of the Potomac- They were not the heavy artillery men drawn by Grant from Washington to make good his losses. We had no' better troops than those. lut these men were the boun-ty-paid recruits.- They were the white slaves whom" greedy and unpatriotic men, who preyed on the necessities of timid communities, gathered from the slums, from Castle Garden, from the almshouses, from the cots of venereal hospital, from ' the bars of criminal courts, from prinon cells, and from the unnatural parents of weak minded dom.

I have seen these fonl re cruits, many of them unable to speak Englisii, vermin infested, "with their bodies rongh skinned, stinking; with awffit" disease, their eyes running mailer, their legs and arms thin rami feeble, their backs bowed, and their rat like and idiot-like heads 'hanging low, join the army to be virtually kicked, put of the decent "rtmmniKls thfiP wpri Killttf.rl nil -They' were scorned. : kicked and cnrst-sl by the volunteers as mangy curs.

In the woods to the right and rear of my battery groups of un wounded men nrrJ)r or nrts nrvfttxn Trtnun man hal 1ropped out of their commands as they approached the battle line and had hidden in the woods. There were scores of them in the army at Cold Harbor. There were hundreds of them around. Petersburg. They were always present when rations were issued. They were never pres ent when cartridges were supplied. M. UKj J .. a ...list. U. 1. AV'l VLVII j thieves. They robbed the dead. They alole from the living. They wounded men ' nights. More cow ardly creatures were never clad in the uniform of English-speaking peoples. They plundered houses. They frightened women 3nd little children. They burned dwellings. To call a soldier of the Army of the Potomac a coffee'boiler was an insult to be promptly resented. -It did not he within the power of any regimental officers to hold these un disciplined blackguards steady 'under fire. Dozens of. times I have seen them break and run, throwing away tli ai n . . ft .-j flint. TTiillinn n the rear and to their coffee pots. They weakened the battle lines, as no man can fight when surrounded by cowards, who are easily "panic stricken, and who are unrestrained by any consideration of pride from ig nominiously running away to save their lives. ?To man really enjoys a battle. One has to string up bis nerves, and take a firm grip on hini nelf morally, and hold himself in the battle flame for a few moments until warmed to passion. The impulse is to run out of the danger. The men the bounty brokers supplied to the army had no morality, no sentiment except of fear, and they could not and would not stand lire. They de sired to live to enjoy the spending of the money they had received. So they Bhirked, and ran, and boiled by the provost guards and sent to their, regiments. They were discip lined somewhat during the winter of 1864 G5. After the battle of June 18,1SG4, the enlisted men fre quently discussed the condition of the Army of the Potomac. They sat o' . nights in groups behind the intrench raents andi talked, talked, talked of the disintegrating force which Grant ; commanded. Enormous losses of prisoners were reported, losses that were incurred while charging earth-, works, which fact clearly . showed that our troops had surrendered after reaching the Confederate intrench- ments surrendered rather than at tempt to take them or return to our line under the deadly accurate lire of the Confederate infantry. ; Many of the volunteers vehemently asserted that the bounty paid recruits really deserted during action to seek safety j in Confederate prison pens. The en listed men who had gathered into ranks under McClellan, and who had been forged into soldiers by that ad mired drill master, all said that the Army of the Potomac of 1862 was far superior, man to man, to that which crossed the Rapidan in May of 1864, and im measurably superior to the"; coffee boiling outfit that lay in the trenches hefore Petersburg in July of 1864. They also asserted, and i trntbf ally, that if the original volunteers, or men as good as they were, were com manded by Grant that he would cap tore Richmond in twenty-four hours. The enlisted men spent much time in comparing Gjjant with McClellan. The latter had many warm .friends among the sfldiers. He only- of all . the. men wio had commanded the Army of the Potomac was person ally liked and admired by his troops. Soldiers' eyes would brighten when they talked ' of him. Their hard, Jean, browned faces would soften and 'ight up with affection when they spoke of him, and still it was affeo umy, uney ma not as a rule con cede to him military talent. - And the general opinion -among them , was: Given Grant, in command -of the army in 1862 and the rebellion would nave been crushed that year. ,,. n3 night, as we sat around the guns talking with visitors from a ew Hampshire regiment, a private, young m years but ;dd. in, service, said: - : - - - r " "McClellan expected -Amoricao volunteers to" fight day after day. Outfought and -beaten to-day,' they must fight to-morrows as though ever victorious, and they did it when ' he commanded them. He taught us to fight, and all .that is -good in this many-tongued cre of Grant's, the leaven of it, is the remnant of Mo Clellan's army." Grant has not mold ed one man in this vast mob. . Ho has filled our ranks as best he could, but he depends on the old spirit of the army, on the men who sprang to arms when the Northern war drum sounded, to ; supply . those ., bounty jumping curs with courage and to teach them their duty. Take the volunteers away from the Army of the Potomac and Lee could drown the rest of this army in the James river without firing a shot." ; COTTON. :v : - N. Y. Commercial and Financial Chronicle New Toek, Aug. 13. The move ment of the crop, as indicated by our telegrams from the South to-night, is given below. For the week end ing this evening (Aug. 16) the total receipts have reached 6,660 bales, against 7,624 bales last -week, - 9, 060 bales the previous week, and 6744 bales three weeks since; mak ing the total receipts since the 1st of Sept., 1885,. 5,314,557 bales,- againBt 4,739,659 bales for the same period of 1884-5, showing an increase since SeptT I, 1885, of 574,898 bales. The exports for the week ending this evening reach a total of 12,957 bales, of which 11,188 were to Great Britain, 1 105 to France and 1,664 to the rest of the Continent. j On Thursday, the peculiar feature was presented of August, September, October,1 November and December options all selling within a range of three 7 points, bringing speculative operations almost to a stand-still, till operators could look about them. Some anxiety continued to be ex pressed regarding the 'course of sil ver, which had recovered a fraction. Last evening, the persistent reitera tion of ad vers9 crop - reports from Texas caused the bears to take alarm, and they; bought freely to cover con tracts, giving a firmer closing. To day, although Liverpool made a bet ter report, r. this market opened dull and weak, but fully recovered, with the speculation showing more tone. Cotton on the spot has been dull, and Quotations were reduced l-16e. on Monday and again on Thursday.? ine spinning aemana was also mod erate.

The following impressive and no less truthful statements are made by Charles F. Wingate, Esq., the well known sanitary engineer, in a com munication; to the National Bottlers1 Gazette: ; . . The importance' of thorough filtra tion of drinking-water can hardly be over-estimated. The sources of both public and private supply are so liable to contamination by danger ous impurities, that no dependence can be placed upon ; their purity. Every little " while it is discovered that the water supply of some place, previously supposed to be ' pure and perf ectly wholesome, is contaminated by sewage or other filth. Few per sons have any conception of the ex tent to which" pollution in water exists.. It may be said to be tbe rule, rather than the exception, in all thickly populated rural sections, and even in - towns which have a public water supply. In Massachu- oeito aione aaa,uuu cases ot typhoid fever, with 40.000 deaths, have hn traced to specific contamination of phoid has. been carried tarantv.fi no miles by a river, and communicated to lony patients in one institution, throueh drinkincnf t.ho vtr tk marked, increase in renal diseases. wmcn nave become almost epidemic, as it .were, .in all sections : of tho country, among persons of all con ditions and of both sexes, is ascribed by physicians of .experience, in a great measure to the sediment con tained in drinking water; which the kidneys, the filters of the body, can not eliminate from the system. Hence mo ciogging ana consequent degene ration of those or&rans. ' : In the ! last annnal'mnnrt. nf fda New York State Board 1)f Health occurs the following important state ment: " . t "It is a thing of common experi ence, . that water hisrhlv contami nated, even with excremental mat ter, may be drunk for a lone timn with apparent impunity, by many peopie; out tnat at some unexpected moment, either from an as yet un- js.no wp cnange in the fermentation process, or as is often probable, from the introduction of ' an almost inap preciable quantity of specific infec tive excreta, an outbreak of typhoid may devastate the community thus supplied." ' - The distinguished sanitarian, Si mon, tells us that the effect of im pure water is .: not always sudden. violent or general. ' On the contrary, us results are more usually so grad ual as to elude ordinarv observation but they are none the less real on A 1 mat account. - - Congressmen A bo Don't Pit Washington notes in Pittsburg Dispatch Some queer , things can be - seen about the Capital during the last days of. the session.- One of the queerest - is the crowd of collectors Coming to Congress, may be an hon or, but it cannot be said to make men honorable. The average of dead-beats in Congress ; is auite as great as outside. On the last days of tne .session yon will rind a swarm of florists, liverv stable men.' hotel and boarding house keepers, consta bles and professional collectors swarming the corridors, looking af- ter delinquent memoers and trying to eaten tnem in the nails. .

R R., told some of the colored hands who were .employed by the railroad to tear down the store of Messrs. R. & J. McCaskell, that he had seven millions of dollars to spend, and that he had twenty years to spend it in, and that he would just as soon spend lttearing down bouses in Shoe Heel as not. We tkink that the people of Robeson county and the whole State should remember this, and treat the road accordingly. If this is the poli cy of the road the people ought to be very glad that they are finding it out, so that they may prepare themselves for any emergency. JSobesonian. . Wilmington, N. C, Aug. 18. Editor Star: The above article, published in the 2!obesonia7i, is so absurdly false that it hardly requires a reply. I made no such statement to any one; nor anything approximating to it. . Nor do I think that there is one man in the State of North Caro lina, who knows me, who will be lieve it- . f.; The Company required the space, on tts right of way, occupied by Mr. McCaskill's building, for track pur poses; and the building was not re moved until Mr. J. C. McCaskill, of Shoe Heel, and Mr. R. McCaskill, of Laurinbnrgj were duly notified of the Company's need for the space, and given ample time to remove the building, if they wished to do so. I presume the editor of the Robe' sonian will give me the benefit of denial. L. C. Jones. TORT RESFON8IBILITY. N. Y. Times. The news from Belfast furnishes additional proof that the authorities of that unhappy city are directly re sponsible for the murders that have been committed there. It also shows that the government of Great Britain is equally guilty. -From the begin ning of these riots the Orangemen have been; snpported and encouraged by the mayor of the city, and the power that should have been exer cised from London promptly and de cisively for the restoration and pre servation of ; peace has been either withheld or used in an ineffective and half-hearted way. Rioting was re sumed at midnight on Saturday night and civil war was waged until : 4 o'clock " yesterday morning. Not withstanding the terrible record of the last two weeks, the city authori ties appear to have taken no steps for the suppression .of hostilities until 5 o'clock, when they went through the ridiculous and wretched .farce of reading the riot act twice ! Not un til this had been done were the troops used to clear the streets and dislodge the marksmen who had for four hours been shooting at each other and fat non-combatants from the roofs and street corners'.

Pres ident Cleveland has amended Rule 9 of the amended Civil Service rules, to read as follows: Rule 9. All applications for regular competitive examination for admis sion to the classified Civil Service, must be made on blank forms to be prescribed by the commission. .Requests for blank forms of application for competitive examination for admission to the classified Civil Service and all regular applications for such exami nation, snail be made 1. If for classified Departmental Service, to me united states uivil service Commis sion at Washington. D. C. .2. If for the classified Customs Service. to the Civil t Service Board of Examiners for the Customs district in which the per son desiring to be examined wishes to enter the Customs Service. 8. If for the classified Postal Service, to the Civil Service Board of Examiners for the postofflce at which the person to be examined wishes to enter the Postal Ser vice. Requests for blank forms of application to customs ana jf ostal .Boards of Jfixamin era must be made in writing by the persons desiring examination, and such blank forms snail not be turmsbed to anv other person. The Commission in submitting the rale as amended, gave-to the President the follow ing statement of reasons for advising the amendment : under tne rule as it is now, written applications for competitive exam ination for admission to the classified cus toms service and to the classified postal service, must bo made to the appointing or nominating omcer. Tbe evil of this way oi masing applications - nave become ap parent to the Commission. The applicant. who is a member of the party to which the appointing or nominating omcer belongs. exposes to that officer his political opinions ana amuations by the statement of them. and the applicant who is a member - of the opposing party, exposes his political ppm ions and affiliations bv his silence concern- jngthem. After examination, when no tices of standing have been given, appli cants wno nave been passed mase baste to inform the appointing or nominating officer of their standing. Thus,- that officer becomes . informed not only oi me political opinions ' and affiliations of all applicants, but also of their relative standing on the eligible registers, in uhs way be obtains all the information be should not have; all he could acquire if he were custodian of the registers. In this connection, it may be siatea mat me uommission bas Jatelv in structed its customs and postal boards of examiners not to permit the appointing or nominating officer or any other person to have possession of, or have a copy of any eligible register; not to permit the appoint ing or nominating officer to inspect or see any eligible register or conv thereof. For reasons already herein stated, this order will be almost nugatory if Rule 9 remains unchanged ; Under Rule 9. as it is now written, tbe appointing or nominating of ficer can obtain information of the political opinions and affiliations and of the grading oi applicants, ana concerning wnom menus or applicants : exert tneir per sonal inuuence to induce eelection by him of the applicants in whom they are interested. . In this way the appointing or nominating officer may be led without intention on his part of wroDg doing, into violation of Rule 8; into discriminations in favor of or against aoDli canta on account of their political opinions or affiliations. Under Rule 9, amended as hereinabove set forth, an appointing or nominating omcer would not be furnished as he now is, in an apparently legal man ner, with information concerning- appli cants which he should not possess. Under this rule, if amended as suggested, all sd- plications would be made to the Board of Examiners, and applicants would have no good reason for calling on either board or the appointing or nominating officer, after their standing had been ascertained and notice thereof had been given to them The Commission has observed that members of the Board of Examiners as well as the ap pointing and nominating officers, furnish blank form of application to personal and political friends, not for their use, but for distribution among per sons those friends desire to please. Thus many persons, who have no desire to enter the Civil Service, are induced to be come applicants for admission; and in this way, to the great inconvenience of the Commission and disappointment of manv hundreds i t persons who do desire admis sion, the number of applicants is increased much in excess of the, needs of the service. For the purpose of preventing interested parties from thus using blank forms of ap plication in mis injurious manner, the Com mission proposes to have Rule 9 so amend ed that requests for blank forms of appli cation to customs and postal boards of t x aminero must tc made in writing by the persons desiring examination, and so that no blank forms shall be furnished to any person who does not request it for his own us?, in view of these facts and considera tions, the Commission respectfully advise that Rule 9 be amended as above herein set forth. MASSACHUSETTS. Tne Trcaanrer or tne Atlantic milia a Defaulter for About 1600,000 Trou ble Amons Operatives or clothing mannfaetiirera. IBy Telegraph to the Morning Star. : Boston, August 17. The managing di rectors of the Atlantic Mills Comnanv are still engaged upon the books of the corpo ration in relation to tne shortage of Win. uray, Jr., late Treasurer, but at present the exact amount of his defalcation cannot be learned with certainty. In an interview this morning with two of the principal directors, who are anxious that their names should be withheld, the following facts were learned: Last Friday' tbe deficiency was discovered by an examiner appointed by the directors, and on Saturdav Grav came to the office and was confronted with tbe charge. He, after a moment or two, confessed the crime and acknowledged that he had embezzled the funds of the Compa ny ior $ ouu.uuu or f wu.uuo, but as to tbe use to which he put the money, his only reply was "building operations." This ac counting is believed to be true by the direc tors, wno say bis operations of this charac ter in Roxbury have been notorious. . It is also believed that Gray has told the truth regarding the amount embezzled, and the directors do not expect to find that it will exceed $600,000. On Sunday Gray, ac companied by his brother-in-law and other friends, went on board his yacht,, the Huron, and cruised about the lower harbor and bay during the day and spent the night below. : Monday morning tbe -yacht came up to the city and landed Gray and his companions on the Central wharf. Gray ordered tbe captain- to get ready to sail again at 2 p. m., at which time Gray stated he would be on board. The captain has not seen Gray since, and the Huron still lies ai her anchorage. folice bave searched in every direction for Gray, but he. beyond doubt, has left the city. Detectives have guarded all the approaches to Canada and the police of all towns and cities in this part of the State have been notified to look out frr tbe de faulter. He may possibly be traced by his turnout. Gray is 55 years old. He wears a dark moustache tinged with grey, and the top of his bead is slightly bald. His hair is streaked with grey and he brushes it so as to . cover his baldness, his neck and hands are much sunburned. - Officers say he has gone empty-handed, the money he took having been spent during the years he was speculating and keeping a yacht. He is assessed for $152,550 real and $15,000 personal property; all of which, it is stated, is heavily mortgaged. Boston, August 17.

Judge Hermann s appearance upon the stage was greeted with applause, and upon assuming the chair he said the Democratic party has always been tbe promoter of the the national wealth and the prosperity of its people. The gentlemen here met are manifestly bent on the most judicious nominations, will do their work well, and adopt a platform o as to meet the approba tion of tne people. Our adversaries, who in sist upon asserting that the usefulness of the .Democratic party is over cannot be believed, in the light of the facts that here in this State Democrats stand at the head of exec utive affairs, and that Grover Cleveland, racked by a Democratic House and the Democratic party, is giving the purest ad ministration of public affairs that has blessed us for a quarter of a century. . The people will give ,a most vigorous and de termined support to tbe ticket that shall be nominated to-day. ine uonvcntion at once proceeded to constitute Committees on Resolutions, Credentials and . Permanent Organization, of fifty members each, all resolutions to be referred without debate. - Numerous memorials from Granges throughout the State, in favor of a strong anti-discrimination plank in the platform, were presented and referred to the Com mittee on Resolutions.

Just open the door for her, and Mrs. Winslow will prove the American Florence Nightingale of the Nursery, of this we are so sore, that we will teach our "Susy" to aay, "A blessing on Mrs. Winslow" for helping her to survive and escape tee griping, colicking, and teething siege. Has. WiN8ixw'8 800THTN8 Strut relieves the child from pain, andcures dysentery and diarrhoBa. It softens the gnms,redaces innammation,oureewind oolio, and carries the infant safely through the teething period. It performs precisely what it prof esses to perform, every part of it nothing less. We have never seen Mrs. Winslow know her only through the preparation of her "Soothing Syrup for Children Teething." If we had the power we would make her, as she is, a physical saviour to the infant race. Sold by aU druggists. 2S cents a bottle. .... . - IHABBIKD. FRKSSLAKD BOBBINS.
