46 Enouisn Ips or Our Anrfitts.—Except the squadrons which charged at Worcester and Naseby, no army was ever sent in the field liks that of Sherman’s. Many of the rank and file were gentlemen — poets, writers, advocates, preachers, bankers, laudlords; such men as, would mix in London society and he memhers of Pall Mallicluhs. Many of the cavalry rods their own mares; many of the infantry bought their own arms. Many were persons of estate, ‘accustomed to good houses and good living. They had friends in high places and luxurious chomes awaiting their return. Some of ths best regiments of Massachusetts and of the Western States were in the camp. And they were strong inpumher as in spirits; 70,000 fighting men of the hest hlood in America, counted after all the non-effective had heen left hehind. Whers werethey goingto? One thing was clear, they were going to defy all military rules, and at ths risk of their lives, enlargs the art of war. 1 By Mam.—The Minina ann Screnrivic Press will be sent by mail to any part of the elvilized world.

Our terms are less than onz uatp the rates now eharged by dally newspapers, and the mining community are beginning to appreciate our reasonable rates of advertising, The Press contains, proportionally, alarger amount of mining advertising than any other paper on the Pacifie coast.

It is truthfully said “that the Tractory-formed Pan has no equal, and as an Amalgamator no superior,” As a whole, it is far superior to any other pan in use.
