TEE CRY Pnrss.-The Union bias few


contains one Senatorial effort which runs
through no less than three columns of I'M

day. These Legislative proceedings are OF
the most absorbing interest to the great
mass of the people. We are told that the
young folks of the country will throw down
the very best of SYLvANUs CoRNcoB's New

average specimen:

The Bdnner has an article on Democratic
Affiliations" We can have nothing what
ever to do with the affiliations of the De-
mOcracy. Until our ncighbor at the mouth
of Dog Alley cuts all such company, it will
please stand aside. -. We shall never say
anything complimentary to the local Bmner
again. lest the world should say we are act
Ing upon the principle Of
tTickIe me BilIy--ticEle me- do:
You tickle me, Billy and III tickle you"
The local Banner says the sidewalks the day
before were rather moist to be comfortable
for pedestrians. When the heels of our re-
porter flew up about that time, and he came
down with crash at the mouth of Deaderick,
it struck him that il the sidewalk had been
more moist, it would have been more com
Portable for him.
The local Ntlps writes long Item" on
the subject of Judge CATIONS letter to the
Union. We have neither the time nor the
space this morning to notice the drift OF the
article. The local Necs tells us, by way of
explanation, that " the fire of sectional
hatred" lit had it geographical hatred at first,)
I" is akin to the fire which is not quenche6"
That's perfectly satisfactory. We don't want
to hear anything more about that sort of fire.
The CARTE wants to know who is HEI.-
PERI" Any in formation on the subject will
be thankfully received, and, If necessary,
literally paid for. The Gazette has an article
on "Flogging in the British Army The
present officers of the British army-the
younger ones at least learn d the art (and
the smarD of foggins from their parents,
who got the idea originally from BYRON:
30, We who teach the ingcnu youth Of nations,
or Holland France, Germany am -lssin,
Ipray you neg them upon all occasions
IL menis their mtnners-never mind the PAIN
Such is brief history OF the .'rise, progress
and present state" of Flogging in the British
Army.
