ure Of which we are proud. This we pro.
ected more than two years ago, and Mr.

Is for these sketches, as can be proved, III
zee sary by a host of witnesses. We
ave now four of those battle grounds
eady 10 publish, and shall give one in
he July number. We already occupy the ]
round the osseSson of more than u doz-
n of these sketches, and therefore defyI S
ny thing more than mere sh0to Of com !
etatiOa.
