bowelled. On our retreat, we took him along, poor fellow, but he cannot live; he will die before morning, and yet has his senses. We know only what we saw, and should say three hundred rebels were killed outright, and the havoc and slaughter in the woods, caused by the bursting of those shells, God only knows.

President Lincoln, and his Cabinet, have wilfully disregarded the spirit of this article.

The notorious fact that papers have been suppressed in New-York, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, by the exercise of Executive power, fully attests a scandalous usurpation for the destruction of the independence of the press. The President,
