It 1s really the Supplimentary Report to which you allude ; and, now, to show-you that Lam not one of a few that did not moke that report I will eall your attention to the fact there are forty six County Superintendents in the Stute, and that, in the document fo which you allule there are supplimentary/ reports from only sixteen, so that Iam one of thirty that have failed to make reports. I will explain the matter of Supplimentary Reports.

As seon as the rebels had departed, he heeame sudden lv and vigorously healthy, and walked into the streets to denounce the traitors. He declares his eleven hours’ sickness caused him less pain and saved him more money than any illness he had ever before endured. cw” A fellow named Glines, a deserter from a Massachusetts regiment, iad a pecus Jinr reception at Stoneham, in thet State, a few weeks ago.

Tis n pity. that, when a professedly loyal editor hecins to write despondingly about the result of the war, the coldneas of his patriotiam dues nat congeal the ink in his pen.
