In our last issue we were made to say in
an article on the ''pacifc Repubic' Gas
from the bones of Cadmus," &C., when the
sentence should have read Gas from the
bones stret7n by Cadmus, an army sprung
up" The illustration would have been more
proper, had it read-''as from the dragons
ieeth strewn," &C. Writing always very
rapidly. and seldom ever revising an article
before passing it to the compositor, mis-
takes will occur sometimes. The intelligence
of the reader, however, readily corrected
this error.
A gentleman just returned from South

with "Dum spiro spero''-"wbile I live I

We intend to send this Cockade to Billy
Scott (not Captain Scott,) living at Coving-
ton, Va, with the injunction that he must
