A couple of excellent letters will be found on our second page to-day. That from Mr. Burwell gives a very clear account of the labors of the relief committee since they left this city. Their position has been an arduous one and they deserve something more than the mere thanks of the community for voluntarily absenting themselves from their families and business and engaging in so praiseworthy an undertaking. ‘Jules’ gives us something later than his last and a little more spicy. He introduces us to a former fellow citizen whom no doubt the most of us had lost sight of for some time. But this war makes strange bedfellows.
