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.

Economy in AdvertisIng.—The Minine ann Serrxmirid Press Is the best and most EcoNomie4L mining advertislng medium In this elty. 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. Its character renders it the proper
Journal for tbe concentration of mining patronage.

The relative. grinding capacities of “The Excelsior” Grinder
and Amalgamator, of the Flat Bottomed Pan, and of the Conical
Pan when properly constructed, are respectively 177, 98 and 110.
That is, the respeetive mullers being of the same diameter,
some weight, same hnrdness, and running at the same velocity
“The Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator” will reduee one hundred and seventy-scven tons of ore, the Flat Bottomed Pan ninetyeight tons, and the Conical Pan one hundred and ten tons to the
of fineness in the same time,
o the Shoes and Dies at their grinding surfaces in the
Excelsior Grinder and Amalgamator, is perfectly uniform, thus
securing evenness of reduction to the pulp, as well as steadincss
of motion to the. muller.
has heen attained in no other than that of the Tractory form—nor
Uniform wear of the grinding plates
Another property of excellence in this machine is that the metal
to.he amalgamated passes direct from the grinding
the quicksilver; thus excluding the possibility of its
becoming coated with any foreign substances, after having been
hurnished. 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.
