plain and short, and at the same time contain
every thing necessary for the Militia to be

completed with much labor and expense.
Every exertion has, and shall be used to make
the work valuable and useful to the states. It

and in the United States. 1t is expected that
the book will be completed and ready for de.
liyeryto subscribers by the first Of August
1928.

This hong pending controversy, which has

warm friends Of those two genilcmcn.-
Considerable anxiety was manifested by
both parties for the success of their fa'O-
rtc and groupes were sseu collected IN
different parts Of the garden, while the
process of imitation was progressing, and
after the balloons had descended, canvas
sing the merits of the rival candidates. At
length, the eycntfui moment, big with the

and the balloons were cut loose from their
noorngs. Loud shouts Of HUM for
CrGuford - Hirsd for adams !" were
now heard in every direction. They had
Il fine start, ard the cXnltations Of either
party were cntctually checked by the APP
parent equality of the colnpettors--1for,
although the Adams kept the lead, the
Crawford was the highest. As friends
appeared somewhat discounted at this
Circumstance, until presently the Crawford
began 70 descend with rapldity At least

In effccting these objects, the duties
which have been performed by every part
of the regiment, as well those left at this
place, as those who assembled the river, has
been ardnons in the extreme but those
duties have been performed with zeal,
cheerlulness, and efficiency, wlrch is highly
honorable to them, and which entities

Where all have done well AND all have
been Jealous To contribute their whole
aud entire power TO promote the public
service, it is as delicate as il is difficult to
mention individual instances, but that the
combination of circumstances has enabled
some to perform more than others, cannot
be donbted.
The colonel commanding has been high
ly gratiiied with The promptnesS and alacri-
" manifested by Majors Woolley and
ketchum, in joining the expedition, and
equally so with their subsequent conduct.
The efficiency of Captain Armstrong;

The captain has manifested his usual skill
IN the management of his company, and
has given every reason to place the great
est confidence in the physical strength and
