The shells

We have had occasion heretofore TO speak OF the high
ability which eharacierzes the columns OF that sterling
democratic journal, the "Mobile Register" We present
below article from the Register, under The above cap
tion, which written with the accustomed good taste

ADLER supporter than he. The article will
pay an attentive perusal. II is as follows;
