Beauregard, giving him formal notice that he should letaliate promptly every cutrage or wrong done our black South drolina or Florida troops who might fall into rebel bands; and he added, what was the most elective part of his hreat, that in choosing rebel prisoners upon whom to retaliate, he proposed craefu'ly to select those who owned the greatest number of saves.

There is in the Poor House of Laporte county, an inmate who is being supported as a pauper, at the expense of the county, who for four years was Sheriff of the county, and wss afterwards elected Common Pleas Judge of the District, and served through the term from 1552 to 1856; and was then nominated by his party for the State Senate, and beaten with lhe balance of his ticket. Only a few years ago he was a leading man of the coauty. and indeed, we might say of the Northern pait of the State. To-day he is a demented idiotic pauper, and supported by charity, and the cause of this change of circumstances is attributable alone to strong drink.

Letter from the 69tb. Head Qa's. 69th Isd. Vols., ) Camp low, 35 milks below ViCKSBrao, April 12. 1863. ) Frie.xd Davis: Something has "turned tap." The mono'ony of camp-life w?s disturbed on the evening of the 30th of March, by an order front Headquarters, to strike tents on the following morning, and be in readiness to move at 7, A. M. No:hir g was easier done, for the boys were eager for something new. At the apj-oln'ed hour everything was in perfect order to move. Our orders were ta move by land in the direction of Richmond, La., 12 miles from the Bend. Oar force contested ot the 69th, six companies of the 21 Illinois cavalry, two mountain bowitezrs and Capt. Patterson's Pioneer corps the whole nnder command of our gallant little Colonel. Noibiog of importance occurred on our march. We arrived in sihtof Richmond aboui 3 o'clock. P. 31. Here we had expected a smart resistance, as there was reported to be a rebel force stationed there. The name of Richmond seems to be mixed in the affairs of the 69th quite oiten. But the boy were all ready for the fun. A few of the Bu.tercuts could he seen across the bayou. A considerable skirmish commenced on both sides; but the chivalry skedaddled in true southern style, leaving behind seve ral of their wounded The yawls and boats that were brought from the river for the

purpose, were 60on launched. The bayou j is near three hundred feet wi.le. and forty I feet deen.

Our entrance wms very unexpected, as they supposed we had no m-aos of crossing the bayou. The letters we captured were, some of them, very interesting. Mostly from friends of soldu-rs io lhe rebel army, and vice versa; but all went to show one particular point that the southern people are getting very tired tf the war, and hard up lor the sun ol life in the shape cf 'Vrub." Some were civin- in detail how truant their servants had proven, and what they would do with them if they (the owners) should ever get them again. Richmond, the county seat, or rather the parish seat of Madison Parish, Li., has, before the rebellion, been a very pleasant ii tie village of some 500 inhabitants. They are purely secesh, and no mixture. Judging fiom the number of drinking and billiard taloons, it has been quite a noted place for the young blood of the parish. Just after dusk four persoLS marched up to the Ornge hotel and addressing Capt. lionekrake, wished to kuow if the landlord was The Captain asked who they were. They infoimed him they were two oQi. ers and two soldiers, on their way to Vickshurg, and wished to stay all night. They were infoimed thwl the hotel had changed Dronrieton and that Col.

It does our boys good lo s e the leading Generals pitch lato the work; and it more of our Generals were as aoxious to prosecute this war vigorously, as these two noble and genet ous hearted officers do, this unholy rebe Li ion could not long survive.

Add flour until it becomes very stiff, stir in one pint of yeast, and one tablespoonful of salt. Let it rise until light, or three or four hours, then add flour and knead well. Set it to rise again, when light, knead in loaves, and when sufficiently light place in the oven and bake one hour. This will make three good sized loaves. Coi7d Wheat. Mrs. 1). Tuttle, Mendocina Co.. Cal., writes that boiled wheat, as described in the Agriculturist, page 23, (Jan. No.) forms a frequent dish in that vicinity, which is more than twenty miles from the nearest grist mill. She says it is improved by first boiling it in weak lye to separate the hull. After this, wash it with cold water several times, then cook for the tible. It is considered nearly or quite equal to rice. To Boil Eggt.M. B., Blainsville, Pa writes that the best way to boil eggs is to place them in cold water, and Bet them over the fire. In this manner the center of the egg will cook as soon as the outer part. If they are preferred soft, the water should not come to a boiling point. A Hero. Miss Pardoc, in a recent work, relates the following interesting anecdote: "At the battle of Montmirial, a young officer, named Du rosier, chanced to be in I nucnunnca ci me ftmperor at the moment . . i f . i . . . when it became essential to dispatch an or .;"i. j:... t. der to one ot tne Oenerais of Divi-ion. and Napoleon, hastily summoning him to his side, gave bim lastructions to deliver it without delay.

Darosier galloped away amid a slioter of shot and shells, and within a quarter of an hour he was again beside the Emperor. His duty was performed. You have behaved well, Monsier," said Napaieon, when he had received his report. You have a stout heart and a clear head. though you are sull only a youngster. 1 give you a capuin'a brevet, and attach yoa to my person. What is your name " " DuroMtr, sire."
