The approaching election, on the 8th day of
i November next, is the most important which hai
ever occurred in the history of the Republic, and
its consequence*, whether of good or evil, as the
people of the loyal States may elect, are destined
to be felt through all the countless ages of the
future. The contest is not for the supremacy of
purty? not for the success of any of the princl
ciples which, like ripples upon the deop ocean of
unity and brotherhood, playfully disturbed the
political surface in the past? not for the recogni
tion of any portion of the conflicting policies of
party, which in the days of peace served rather
to unite than to divide an enlightened and envied
people, claiming a common history, a common
destiny, and u common God. The struggle, as
well throughout the North as beyond the Missis
sippi and the James, is between those who love
their country and would peril all to save it, and
the sympathizers with treason, who aro'-laboring -
for the destruction of the Government of their
fathers, or of the land which gave them protection
from the tyranny of another hemisphere which
left them hoinelesw. The former are represented
by the Union party ? the latter by what is known
an the Peace- Democratic party, "whose platform
was drafted under tho eye and auspices of treu
?to u, whose aim is a recognition of the independ
ence of the Southern Confederacy, and whose
leader btands couvicted of having saved the rebel
capitul by the deliberate sacrifice of thirty thous
and patriots in the swamp* of theChickahominy.
Fella w< it iztna, tchich ticket tcillyuu vote t
The platform of the so-called Democratic party
is the voice of cowardice, treason and enmity to
the Federal Goveruiuent, and a libel upon the de
termination and patriotism of the North, It was
dictated in a spirit of disloyalty, and adopted by
the representatives of a party whose leaders are
Southern Secessionists and northern abettors of
the rebellion. It is a special plea for the seceded
South, ami its avowed purpose is the destruction
of the Uuion, or its restoration upou a basis hu
miliating aud dishonorable to the Government,
and fruitful of ceaseless discord and revolution lu
the future. Is the loyal North, which has armed
aud sent its manhood to the field, whose richest
blood 1ms fertilized the valleys of the South and
made them sacred, whose homes are hung in
sable, and whose hearts are heavy with the mem
ory of the dead ? is the loyal North prepared to
withdraw its armies from the center of the South,
reached through tho camuge of a hundred bloody
fields, to abandon a cause so nearly won, and in
which so many noble hearts have bled, to admit
itself vanquished when final victory 1s within its
grasp, to pay to European creditors the monstrous
debt of the Confederacy, to return to bondage the
war-emancipated slave who has stood seutinel
around the camp-fires of freedom, or to recognize
the independence of the rebellious States? If not,
then is the Chicago platform au infamous false
hood, which tho honor of the North demands to
be refuted iu tones of thunder on the 6th of No
vember next. It fe the proclamation of a ma
tured conspiracy against the peace and well-being
of u loyal people, and the once venerated name of
Democracy is defiled by the touch of treason.
The platform of the Union party, framed in u
spirit of patriotism, is but the echo of that all
pervading seutimeut which is to rebuild the
broken arches of the Republic and plant the rose
iu fields made desolate by the track of war. ?
Fdlow-citizens, tchich ticket will you vote t
Let no loyal mau be led from his allegiance to
the Government by blindly following the banner
of party. There are but two parties now, nor
can there be a third until peace sits again upon
the thresholds of a mourning people, luul but a
single issue divider thorn? those who ure for the
Government and those who are against it. There
id bat one way by which au honorable peAce can
be secured?by a prosecutiou of the war against
treason until it kneels in submission, disarmed
and defeuscless, beneath the tlag it has betrayed.
Kither must this be done, or the independence of I
the N>uth be recognized. There no middle |
! course ? no proceed of conciliation or compromise
by which the South cau be saved from submis
sion and the Government saved from dishonor.
What do the leaders of that party styling itself
Democratic propose to do i To elect u peace
Congress, a peace President on u peace platform,
and then accept such terms of peace as may be |
dictated by the Confederacy : and all thii is to be i
accomplished in the name of Democracy. What
1 is there in the Democracy of to-day to remind the
j disciple of Jefferson and Jackson of the Democ
! racy of the past ? Do its champion*, with treas
| oa swelling in the heart and dying on the lips in
! slander of the Administration, ever talk of the
principles of that party with which they mantle
their disloyalty t Do they proclaimagainst banks
and high tariff*, against* internal improvements
aud popular sovereignty ? Iu the empty name of
Democracy, which many of them years ago ab
jured in the secret councils of Kuow Xothiugism,
they denounce tho Administration and the war
for the preservation of the Union, and seek to lure
the unthinking from their fealty by the magic of
a simple word. Abandoned upon the inaugura
tion of the rebellion bV the great aud good man
who gave it character and direction iu the past,
the party has been seized upon and converted into
an apology for crime and an instrument of revo
lution. Its principles ure scorned or forgotten by
the conspirators who irreverently invoke its name
iu extenuation of treasou, and its templet are des
ecrated by the homage of the Godless worshippers
who kneel betide its altar*. In its high places
where once sat the great teachers of Democracy,
uow crouch the cowering apologists of anarchy
and disunion ; and its halls which in the past
echoed the eloquence of the patriots of tho Re
public. now ring with tho shouts of lawlesnnesi
aud disloyalty. And this is the phantom invoked
from the grave of party by the spirit of treason
which leads the van of disaffection in the North, '
and beckons the loyal devotee of Democracy to a
betrayal of his country.
rcuwi lineup, hkuk iiuim cik yuu tuic r
Your suffrages must be given to McClellan,
the Chicago platform and national dishonor, or
to Lincoln, the triumph of the Federal arms nud
the establishment of an houorable and lasting
peace. Calmly viewing the vital issues of the
canvass, can you doubt the awful consequences
of a Peace Democratic victory in November ?
Can you hesitate in the performance of what
every loyal man must recognize as a duty to his
country / The consequences of such a triumph,
foreshadowed by the disloyal aims and utterances
of the men who control the party, cannot be con
templated without a shudder. The voice of the
South, still rebellious and iu arms, would direct
the councils of the Government and dictate the
terms of a re-construction. An armistice would
be declared, to which the loyal North would not
consent, and a betrayed and outraged people
would rise in arms against their rulers, and civil
! war and anarchy would desolate the land and
give Independence to the revolted South. This is
the treasonable hope of Vallaudighain, Cox,
Wood, Veorhees and Pendleton ? this is the re
i suit for which the Chicago platform was formed.
But why expose the purposes of such a party ?
Why discuss the manifest results of the triumph
of such a cause 't They are plain to the appre
hension of every mind not dead to reflection,4 not
impervious to the suggestions of reason, not irre
vocably wedded to prejudice and error. Let us
hope that the time is past when men muy he ar
rayed in enmity to the Government by the decla
ration of demagogues that the "Constitution has
been violated and trampled upon by the Admin
istration," and tnat the struggle for existence in
which the nation is now engaged " is an abolition
war for the destruction of slavery." Such an
appeal to the prejudices of the unreflecting in as
criminal as it is false and malicious. In the lan
guage of Jefferson Davis, " slavery has nothing
to do with the rebellion." It is a war between
Northern muscle and Southern aristocracy, and
slavery was made the excuse for its inauguration.
For thirty years the Southern mind hud been
educated to treason, and the election of a He
publican President was the pretext not the
cause of the rebellion. For the avowed purpose
of severing all political connection with the toil
ing millions of the North, the slaveholdiug aris
tocracy of the South drew the sword of revolution
and trampled in the dust the sacred Hag of our
fathers. The}* fluug their shouts of defiance
across the Potomac and the Mississippi, and
flauuted the banner of revolt in the face of' a loyal
people. Then, like a mighty upheaval of the
solid earth, rose the sturdy, toil-stained millions
of the North. For a moment they stood iu si
lence, scarcely crediting the reality of the cry of
i4 disunion" wafted to their ears on every South
ern breeze ; then swords in countless thousands
glittered In the light, and like the vengeance of
God swept southward the conquering hosts of
freemen. The result is before us. Hundreds of
thousands have perished by the way, but the
armies of the Republic have planted the old flag
agaiu in the heart of the Confederacy, and Trea
son lies writhing in the agonies of dissolution.
Another effort, and the whole field will be ours.'
W e must tare the country, let tJufate of tlavery be
what it vuiij. To this end the peace party of the
North fnust be defeated in November.
Fellotc-citizent, which ticket will you vote i
What would be the results of a triumph of the
Peace Democracy Id Nevada? In the Heceision
programme, arranged at Richmond in the begin
ning of the rebellion, the Pacific .States and Terri
tories were mapped as portion* of the Southern
Confederacy. Ann* and means to revolutionize
them were provided bv the Secretary of War of
the lruit Democratic Administration, but through
the fidelity of General Sumner, the commander of
the Pacific Department, the scheme of revolution
and treason was thwarted. Although foiled in
1861, the emissaries of rebellion have never relin
quished the hope of either alienating California,
Oregon, Washington and Nevada from the Fede
ral Union, or of rendering their connection value
less to the Government; and what they failed to
effect by the use of the bayonet then, they are now
seeking to accomplish through the aid of the bal
lot-box. Should every other ^tate in the Union
declare a preference for the Baltimore nominees in
November, still would a victory by the euemiev
of the Government in Nevada prove an inconceiv
able disaster to the prosperity of our young State.
Let us glance for a moment at the fruits of such a
triumph. Let us see Whether, viewed solely in
the light of personal interest, the Sonthern-svm
fiathising man of business in our midst can afford
o aid la (be establishment of Peaoo Democratic
rule in Nevada. The State would become the
centre and asvlnm of the exiled and turbulent !
traitors of the* East and West, and the voice of
disloyalty would be heard unchecked in our
courts or Justice and in our halls of legislation.
The skiee would leaden m the angry frown of
threatened tumult? confidence in the integrity
and supremacy of the law would be banished,
capital would be withdrawn, the mines would re
main unworked and undeveloped, and universal
stagnation would prevail. With a representation
in Congress In political keeping with the rulers of
the State, in antagonism with the sentiment of the
North, in sympathy with treason and at war with
the Administration and its policy, what could rea
sonably be expectcd of the Government ? Would
it establish u Branch Mint in the tftato tor the use
and benefit of its enemies ? Would It accord pro
prietorship in its mines of gold and silver to the
agents and emissaries of rebellion? Would is
willingly assist in the construction of raiiroadt
and lines of telegTaph for the convenience of a
people intent upon its destruction? No! De
nied the assistance of the home Government, re
fused the aid of capital, overrun by disloyal refu
gees and outlaws, armed conflict and revolution,
which might not be averted, would scarcely in
crease the quiet honors of ruined trade and pros*
trate industry. All the disasters which wonld in
evitably follow a triumph of the peace party in
November, would be multiplied in blessings to the
people of Nevada by the success of the Union
ticket.
Fellouhcitizent, which tiehtt will you vote ? I
We appeal to such citizens of Irish birth as are |
thoughtlessly clinging to the empty name and ,
broken pillars of a once honored, now infamous
party, to carefully exumino the position they
occupy iu that relation towards the land they left
in bou'dage and the Government to which they
stand pledged in allegiance. In blindly following
the leaders of that party In their treasonable as
saults upon the Government, you are committing
a crime for which you will be held accountable to
your children and to your God. By the holy
Evangelists and the sacred symbols ot your faith,
you have sworn to " bear true faith, allegiance
and loyalty " to the Government of the United
States,* to defend its honor, to obey its laws, and
to protect its flag Thu aim of the Peace Demo
cracy of to day is, to divide its empire, to assist
its enemies, to violate its laws, and to desecrate
its flag. To assist iu the success of such a party
is peijury and treason to the adopted citizen. In
tl;e name of tho Government which has given you
welcome und protection? in the name of the op
pressed ot Ireland, whose tearful eves have ever
turned with hope towards tho land of the free ?
iu the name of the down-troddeu aud struggling
millions of every land? iu tho name of humanity,
of freedom, of justlct ? iu the name of God ? we
abjure you to pause and reflect. You arc opposing
the Government ; you are laboring with traitors
who, in the name of Democracy, are plotting its
destruction ; yon are fightiug the battles of slavery
and of rebellion. You have espoused the cause of
the aristocratic aud governing clauses of England
?the remorseless ravagers of the homes of your
birth ? tho determined abettors of American dis
union. You are assisting them to re-fasteu the
yielding fetters upon the limbs of struggling Ire-'
land, by attempting to destroy a Government
which has lifted the beacon of hope ou the shores
of the New World to tho enslaved but freedom
loving millions of the OKI Divide the Federal
empire, or yield it to the rule of slavery, and
where is the hope of Ireland '* Can she look for it
iu the " Holy Alliances " of European despotism t
Can she discern it in the silent tongue of Mazzini,
in the listless arm of Garabaldi, in the dead echoes
of the voice of Scbawyl among the crags of the
Caucassus/ Can she hear it in the groans of
Hungary and Poland i Can she gather It from tho
sigh-ladened breezes of the Danube, the Neva, tho
Rhine, the Adriatic or the Pot Westward, to the
giant Republic of unother continent, the champion
of freedom, the terror of tyranuy, must she turn
for redemption. Is not yonr duty plain t Dis
union would be death to Irish liberty, aud a peace
triumph would be disunion.
Fellow-citizens, vhich ticket trill you vote l
To all citizeus of foreign birth we appeal, to
save the Republic, the home of their adoption, the
hope of humanity, the land of tho free. Do not
let the blight of treanon destroy it* growing great
ness, or disunion divide its increasing strength.
Let it not be said that republics are a failure, and
that an enlightened people are incapable of self
government. Whether North or South, whether
under Vallandlgham or Davli, whether by war
rant of the Chicago platform or the Confederate
Constitution, whether in the name of Democracy
or disunion, let the enemies of the Government be
your enemies? its friends, your friends? and the
banner of a re united and mighty people will goon
float again iu undisputed supremacy over every
Southern hilltop and on every Southern plain.
And to Americans we appeal, to stand by the flag
of their tethers, the land of their love, in this day
of awful peril to the Republic bequeathed to them
by the heroes of a generation gone. The hope
and history of tho rebellion are known to you and
the veil of ?' Democracy n fail* to screen from your
penetration the deadly serpent of treason which
lies coiled behind it. While many of those who
have come to us from other lands are listening to
the siren songs of disloyalty and henitatiug be
tween right and wrong, to you we turn for com
fort and for hope. A few more days of watching,
a few more sleepless nights, and the danger will
bo past, never to return. Already the clouds are
lifting in the Kant, and the light or peace is amlllng
through the riftiug breath of battle. One more
effort, North and .South, and the broad field is
ours. A crushing defeat of Northern treason at
the ballot-box in November will be worth a dozen
captured Richmonds, and an honorable and last
ing peace will be the result. Union men of
Nevada, you know your duty ; do not fall to per
form it ou the 8th of November.
Fellow-citiztni. which ticket will you rote *

PBEAMBL^ AND RESOLUTIONS
?of the?
NeTada Union Conrenlion.
Upon tlie entrance of Nevada into the ttatiojuu
Union, feeling deeplythe Importance of taking posi
tion such as to Inspire confidence In our sister States,
and to rebuko treason to our nationality, be It open
or insidious, and to sustain by our first acts in the
capital of a State the Integrity- of our country, the
honor of our Government and the glory of our free
Institutions, we do resolve as follows :
Uuolved, That the Uuion party of the Stat* of
Nevada recognize 110 political differences In this
hour of our country's trial, and cheerfully enrolls
anion# its members every citizen, native or adopted,
who prefers his country to party, who is loyal to the
Union and in favor of coercion and the suppression
the existing rebellion by the only sure means, the
strong arm of military power, who Is opposed to
concession* to rebel* with anus In their hands, and
who Is willing to use the'lasl man and the last dollar
if necessity demands, to maintain and preserve the
Union of the United States of America.
Resolved, That Abraham Lincoln and Andrew
Johnson are worthy leaders of the Array of the
Union, that the platform and resolutions adopted at
the Baltimore Convention, holden June, 1SW, meets
our hearty approval, not only In their general tenor,
but especially In their advocacy of that great neces
sity to our Western Kmplre? a Pacific Railroad.
That placing ourselves upou the platform, we chal
lenge all comers to wrest from our grasp the electo
ral votes of the virgin State of Nevada, predestined
to?be given by loyal hearts and lianas to the mem
bers of the Convention.
lletolced, That we favor the nassage of laws secu
ring the general education ot the children In the
State by means of free common schools, believing
intelligence the only palladium of Republican Gov
ernment, and of laws guarding the highest right and
privilege we have, the elective franchise, from the
Influence of power, money and fraud, and of further
laws that shall preserve good faith between tho peo
ple, by enforcing their private contracts in the spirit
and power they nave made them, and In such cur
rency as they may agree upon, and of such laws as
shall secure In detail the strict economy enjoined by
our Constitution, and the most exact accountability
of all public officers, to the great source of political
power, the people.
Resoltwd, That our wise and beneficent Govern
ment has always exhibited not only real generosity,
but true policy In retraining from the sale of the
mineral lands and In permitting their use, occupa
tion and development by labor and capital. That it
is to be deeply regretted that traitors In our midst
are using the wealth derived from an Indulgent coun
try In attempts to subvert Its Institutions and liber
ties; and that while we deprecate any general Inter
ference by the Government with the existing state
of affairs, still the proper exercise of a righteous In
dignation against such Ingrates should excite no sur
prise, but would meet with the hearty approval of
loyal men.
The National Platform of the I'nioi
Party.
The following is the platform adopted by
the National Convention of the Union Party
held in Baltimore :
1. Resolved, That it in the highest dutv of
every American citizen to maintain againit nil
their enemies the integrity of the Un Jon and the
paramount anthority of the Constitution andlaws
of the United States; and that, laying aslae all
difference* and political opinions, we pledge our
selves, ua Union men, animated by a common
sentiment and aiming at a common object, to do
everything in our power 10 aid tlie Government
in quelling by force of arms thu rebellion now
raging against its anthority, and in bringing to the
punishment due to their crimes the rebels and
traitors armed against it.
2. Resolved. That we approve the determin
ation of the Government of the United States not
to compromise with the rebels, or to offer any
terms of peace, except such us may be baaed
upon an unconditional t>urrender of their hostile
ties and return to their jnst allegiance to the
Constitution end laws of the United States, and
that wo call upon the Government to maintain
this position, and to prosecute the war with the
utmost possible vigor to the complete suppression
of the rebellion, in the full reliance upon the self
sacrificing patriotism and heroic valor, and the
undying devotion of thu American people to their
country and its free institutions.
& Rcsolred , That as slavery was the cause and
now constitutes the strength of this rebellion, and
as it must be, always and everywhere hostile to
the principles of republican government, justice
and the national safety demand its utter and com
I plete extirpation from tho noil of the Republic
And that while we uphold and maintain tue
acts and pruclamations by which the Govern
ment, in its own defense, has aimed a death-blow
at this gigantic evil, we are in favor furthermore
' of such au amendment to the Constitution to be
made by the people in conformity with its pro
visions, as shall terminate forever and prohibit the
existence of slavery within its limits or the juris
diction of tho United States.
? 4. Resolved, That tho thanks of thu Atner
I ican people are due to tho soldiers and
| saflors of the Army aud Navy, who have
periled then: lives in defense of their country and
in vindication of tho honor of the flag; that tho
Nation owes to, them some permanent recogni
tion of their patriotism and their valor, and ample
and permanent provision for those of their survi
vors who have received disabling and honorable
? wounds in the service of their country; and that
! the memories of those who have fallen in it* de
| fense shall be held in grateful and everlasting re*
I meiabrance
9. Resolved, Tliut we approve and applaud the
practical wisdom. the unselfish patriotism ami the
unswerving fidelity to the Constitution and the
principle* of American liberty with which Abra
ham Lincoln has (Uncharged, under circumstances
of unpuralleled difficulty, the great duties and
responsibilities of the Presidential office; (bat we
approve and endorse, an demanded by the emep
gency and essential to the preservation of the
Nation 'and as within the provisions of the
Constitution, the measures and acts which he
has adopted to defend the Nation against its open
and secret foes; that we approve especially the
Proclamation of Emancipation, and the employ
ment as Union soldiers of men heretofore
held in slavery ; and that we have full confidence
in his determination to carry out these and all oth
er Constitutional measures essential to the salva
tion of the country with full and complete effect.
6. Retoleed, that we deem it essential to the
general welfare that harmony should prevail in
the National couucils, and we regard as worthy of
! public confidence and official trust those only who
I cordially endorse the principles proclaimed in
these resolutions, and which shpuld characterize
the administration of the Government.
7. Resolved, That the Government owes to all
men employed In its armies, without regard to
distinction of color, the full protection of the laws
of war, and thai any violation of these laws* or
the usages of civilized nations in time of war, by
the rebels now in arms, should be made the sub
ject of prompt and foil redress.
8. Revolted, The foreign emigration, which in
the past has added so much to the wealth, devel
opment of resources and increase of power to this
Nation, the asylum of the oppressed of all nations,
should be fostered and encouraged by a liberal
andjust policy.
y. Ruolred. That we are in favor of the stea
dy construction of the Railroad to the Pacific.
10. Resolred. Thut the National faith, pledged
I for the redemption of the public debt, must be
kept inviolate, and that for this purpose we re
I commend economy and rigid responsibility iir the
public expenditures, and a vigorous andjust sys
tem ot taxation ; that it is the duty of ererv loyal
State to sustain the credit and promote the use
of the National enrrenev.
11. Resolved, That we approve the position
| taken by the Government that the people of the
United States can never regard with indifference
the attempt of any European power to over
throw by force or to supplant the institutions of
any Republican Government on the Western
Continent; and that they will view with ex
treme jealousy, as menacing to the peace and in
dependence of their own country, the efforts of
any such Power to obtain new footholds for mo
narchical, Governments, sustained by foreign
military force, in near proximity to the United
States."

The London, John Bull, Newspaper
says : " the new ship for Captain Serames,
building on the continent, and which will
probably be ready toward the dote of
August, is reported at over four thouiand
tons, and will be protected with solid
steel plates 24 inches thick. She is to be
callea the New Alabama, and will be
armed with Armstrong guns ; she is built
for a ram, will be furnished with engines
of great power, and will possess the means >
of throwing scalding water on her oppo
nents. It is intended for her to have the
very large complement of one thousand
one hundred men ! Recruit* are offered
a bounty of ten pounds each, on joining,
with five pounds per month for wages,
and prize money equal to that of her com
mander, Captain Scmmes ; in other words,
the prize money is to be divided pro rata
by all on board. Most of the officers and
crew of the sunken ship will join the
Xew Alabama. It is intended that she
shall commence operations near Boston,
United States. Federal ships of war are
watching her progrou, and will dispute
her first attempt to go to sea.
Antiquity op Frrimabonrt. ? rree
muonry is older than letters. Brand's
?? Encyclopaedia of Science, Literature, and
Art," says : " That from Egypt were de
rived the principal mysteries, and that it
was in the darkness of subterranean apart
ments that those institutions had birth, in
which secrecy was the first law. Accord
ing to Plutarch, the Sphinxes, with which
the entrances to their temples were deco
rated, signified that Egyptian mythology
was mysterious and emblematic. In these
temples the line and square are never
abandoned, they had no circular monu
ment, and their temples were covered with
symbolic characters. Thus has masonry
seen the introduction of letters, the dis
covery of the arts and science, and the
spread of the Christian religion ; it has
been the rise and fell of all the old nations
of the earth ; survived the darkness and
turmoil of the middle ages, and now
stands a wonder of the world.
Improvement in Iron-making. ? It is
well known that iron undergoes three pro
cesses before it is fit for the forge ? smelt
ing, refining and puddling. The smelting
furnace only yields pig-iron, which is a
combination of iron with as much carbon
as it can take without becoming plumbago,
and the subsequent operations tend to de
prive it of its superabundant carbon, in
order to render it malleable. A new pro
cess has now been invented, by which
malleable iron may be obtained direct
from the smelting furnace ; it consists in
driving oxide of iron into the furnace by
means of the ventilator, whereby all the
carbon is at once absorbed. In order to
apply this method, the hearth of the smelt
ing-furnace must be built somewhat high
er than usual, and the air driven in by the
ventilator is previously made to pass
through three chambers, in which it be
comes charged with oxide of iron at a high
temperature, the atmospheric pressure be
ing at the same time kept very high.
A Powerful Disinfectant.? The
fumes of burning coffee have long been
known to act as a powerful disinfectant.
Experiments have recently been made at
Paris to prove this. A quantity of meat
was hung up in a closed room until de
composed, and then a chafing-dish was
introduced, and five hundred grammes of
coffee thrown on the fire. In a few min
ute* the room was completely disinfected.
In another room sulphuretted hydrogen
and ammonia were developed, and ninety
grammes of coffee destroyed the smell in
about half a minute. It is also stated
that coffee destroys the smell of musk,
castraeura and assafetida.
A high private of extraordinary dimen
sions lumbered into the presence 'of Gen
eral Thomas and asked for a furlough,
adding, ?? General, I wish to go home and
see my wife." How long is it since you
have seen your wife ?" inquired the Gen
eral. ?' Why," he answered ; " I haven't
seen my wife for over three months."
?? Three months I" remarked General
Thomas, " why I haven't seen my wife for
three years." " Well, that may be," re
joined the other, " but you see, General,
me and my wife ain't o'f that sort." Of
course the high private got his furlough
after that rub.
The rebel General Dick Taylor, in a
congratulatory order to the soldiers of
West Louisiana, recounting the defeat of
General Bank*, makes use of the .follow
ing elegant and chivalrous words : "Long
will the accursed Yankee race remember
the great river of Texas, and the changed
hue of its turbid waters, darkened with a
liberal admixture of Yankee blood. The
cold-blooded alligator and ravenous craw
fish wax fat on the rich food, and our
native vulture hold high revelry over
many a festering corpse."
A. Ward says: "If I am drafted, I
shall resign. Deeply grateful for the un
expected honor thus conferred upon me, I
shall feel compelled to resign the position
in favor of some more worthy person.
Modesty is what ails me. That's what
