FOCOS RECOlL.
Since the word Of command was given by the fu-
geman of the Extra Globe TO attack and not defend
It is amusing to the attempts Of the party to sally
out Of their Augean stable and drive of their assail-
ants, Foremost comes the Heaven born" himself,
armed with his Extra Globe, striving to smother his
foes with filth and iasehood-then the redoubted

IN another direction are seen other leaders of less note
welding the weapons, falsehood and SANDER
all fierce as ten furies, and endeayorng to mend
their broken ranks, and bring their discouraged dis
heartened and discontinued men to the charge, But

To our friends everywhere say, in perfect since

are coming to us in crowds and swelling our ranks
and the victory with proper exerton and vigilance
our part, is certain any future event can
be. We have no fear, no misgivng, NOT the least =
