    SHOT.--A prisoner in the guard house at Camp Weld, named Anderson, was found dead this morning. We understand that he was shot, but have learned no particulars. He was implicated in the recent attempt to liberate the prisoners in jail here, and also in the plot to burn Camp Weld, so we are informed.

    MILITARY.--A correspondent, "Union," publishes a communication in our paper to-day; in which he refers to sundry matters upon which we are not posted. As he is a responsible gentleman, and we have no doubt thoroughly understands the things of which he writes, we give his letter place, upon his own responsibility.

    Our friend Capt. E. W. Wynkoop's address, on the opening occasion of the Camp Weld Dramatic Hall, is a literary morceaux of much spirit, patriotic sentiment, and smooth, sonorous, stately style; characterized by an animation, appropriateness and elegance, creditable to the Captain, and not unworthy the accomplished genius of many of those professional literateurs who occupy names and niches in the poetic pages of the precise and polished periodicals of the day. We regret not being present on its delivery, and would have been, had we known that the "blockade was open" to "civilians."
