JOHN BkANNAN.. OF WASHINGTON
CITY, 49, g
FOR PUBLISHING By sUBscRifTios,
THE OFFICIAL LETTERS

or TUE
Military g. Naval Officers ofthe United
States,
DURING THE WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN, IN
THE YEARS 1872, Is, IA, -.
interspersed yith .few Letters % tks Brs.
tish Officers, and some valuable lysc'at
Documents Calculating the History Of
that period.
YIyHE work will commence with the
Presidents Message to Congress,
June 5, 1912; be Report Of the Commits
tee of Foreign Relations, and the Presi-
dents Proclamation announcing .the De-
claration of War. Then will follow, in
succession, the Letters of our Officers,
from the commencement to the termina.
ton of the war; and conclude with the
Treaty OF Peace OF Dec. "a, 1914.
In gathering and collating those letters
for publication, the Editors motive is, to
preserve them to the rising and to future
generations. He has frequently regret
ted, with his contemporaries, the i'm.
practicabihty OF obtaining access to the
letters OF the officers of our Revolution.
and few men now living, it is presumed,
have bad the pleasure of perusing them
all. The proposed publication will pre-
serve, from similar fate, the official let.
tiers of our officers during the late war,
and will furnish an opportunity to the
Young men OF America. now advanced
and advancing to manhood, of perusing
them; they will there see their fathers,
their brothers, their relations, and their
friends, in their true colors
The names OF those valuable men who
have shed their blood in the general de-
fence, in whatsoever station, ought to be
inscribed on The roll of fame, held up to
general imitation. and handed down to
posterity for their admiration. The high
est honOrs are due to those whose bravery
repelled the savage and the civilized Toe,
both by sea. and land; whose undaunted
valor and heroism was never exCelled in
the proudest days of the aocient republics.
To the Junior officers of the army and ma
w. this book will prove an excellent ma.
nuel and model for imitation.
1t is presumed the head of each family
in the country will be gratiied in possess
ing copy of this work, not merely as a
book of reference, but source OF pleasure
for recitation to their children at theiriire-
side.

The Sylpbs OF morn assemble round,
Where female beauty sleeps profound,
trial then they make; {.
How all their skill and strength COM

Shall cause with all their forces join'd,
Ihe slumberer 10 awake.
They climb the lofty lids at length,
And pull with all their might and
strength,
With levers then they pry--
But this is labour thrown away,
They cannot open to the day,
The bright unfolding eye.
The fairy cattle now arrive,
Horses and oxen straight they drive.
All harnessed in their chain;
They Tx their grapples on the lids,
And when the master spirit bids,
The cattle pant and strain.
And now what wild discordant crash,
hark, you may hear the sounding lash,
The cattle pant and blow
w lille every Sylph with hopes increas'd,
by the strong bride holds the beast,
And cries gee up-gee no!
Now comes the tug-the mighty pull,
And all with just ambition full,
The sounding lash apply
One struggle more-the sIumLerer
winks,
Behold the chaip-the links, the links,
In scattcr'd fragments Hy.

whether such commitment be on sugees-
