 The present critical state of European affairs will render these publications unusually inter- esting during the forthcoming year.

It is to these Periodicals that readers must look for the only nteligible and reliable history of current events and as such in addition to their well-estadished literary scientific, and theological character, we urge them upon the consideration of the reading pub lie.

Generals Baxter, Davis and Brown. The cere-

duly performed by the Governor, Col. Merrill,
and Col Hyde. Only those who participated could
hear a word, the Regiment being stationed at
such a distance that they could only look. and not

is said to be five feet ten and one-half inches and

arguments, as to hardly call for comment.
The style has the marvellous simplicity, di-
rectness and accuracy so characteristic OF all
that comes from ABRAHAM LINCOLN. There
is no justification, no double-dealing, DO
shutting of of responsibility in regard to
what be has done, and no hesitation to state
plainly what be thinks needs to be done in
order to crush out the rebellion, surely sind
speedily. and to restore the Government to
its Just supremacy throughout the nation.
We do not wonder that the reading OF it
in the House Of Representatives brought out
the liveliest expressions OF qualification from
the members and the lobby, at it's patriotic
and decisive tone, at the soundness Of Its
positions, and the clear tenor Of the govern
ment policy which was marked out in
it. The boldness of its recomm endltIons
and the unwavering confidence which il
expresses in the patriotism Of the people ard
IN their eheerfulness to meet all the sacrifices
they may have to make to preserva their
government and the free institutions under
which the nation has so wonderfully grown
and prospered, viii find ready and warm
response from tie hearts Of the people.

nary -a-one Of those shots.
We have hardly become reoonciled to our guns
yeti that is, if we are TO retain them which seems
to be the general opinion. One thing is certain,
we shall never do but little execution with these
"pop-guns.7 From what we hear, we expect
chance to try them soon.
Some excitement was caused in camp day or
two since, caused by the firing Of several balls into
our camp by three or four persons. They were i'm
mediately pursued, but succeeded in escaping.
We are continually on the lookout for spies, and
have man now under arrest upon suspicion.
There is good deal of anxiety in camp owing
to the rumor that attack is expected upon
Washington, and our consequent departure into
Virginia. l hope you may hear from me again
soon, from point nearer the rebels.
