love Of our people for it was growing cold. But
now, in the time OF its peril, when the shot OF
traitors have pierced it, when 1t is discarded
and outcsst by those who have so long used 1t
to protect their iniquities, tho feeling Of tho
people springs towards 1t like u passion. II
represents ali that we have loved and hoped for
in America. 1t isa SYMBOL Of Equal Rights,
Of Law, Of Country. and above all, OF Universal
Liberty, Thank God its stains are washed
away 1t is now an emblem OF the
most advanced humanity; Of shelter 70
tho oppressed; Of free speech; Of the
inalisnsble rights Of man Of well or
dered and lawful freedom. II is the white
plume Of civilization in its direful battle with
barbarism, on the Western Continent. The
hopes and prayers of mankind follow 1t. In
this time Of its danger, We wear 1t over our
breasts and you who bear the old Stars asd
Stripes, as the emblem Of your country, before
you in battle count il honor enough that you
have been able to bleed and suffer for Il, and a
SWEET and glorious thing ii ior that flag you

This is newly invented weapon designed to
render cavalry vastly superior to infantry.
II Is an admitted fact that infantry formed In.
TO q square, or in mass and standing firm and
unbroken, can defeat an equal number Of
cavalry, each being armed with the ordinary
weapons. This fact has been fully demonstra-
ted upon many well fought field in the last
half century, the most notable Of which was
the battle Of Waterloo, where the French
cavalry repeatedly charged the squares OF Eng
lish infantry, and were uniformly repulsed, the
squares standing firm and unbroken. A man
and horse, acting as one, have the strength and
speed Of several men and ought, 1t properly
armed, TO be competent 10 the defeat OF several
men. Tho cavalry grapnel Is a new weapon,
adopted to this superior strength and speed,
and a regiment Of horse armed with this de-
struotive weapon, and we'll skilled in its uss,
can easily defeat four times their number Of
infantry, ring them down like grass before
ascythe. This weapon can also be used by
cavalry against cavalry, and even infantry
could use II against infantry with great
destruction. The grapnsl was invented
in one Of our northern states, and lUl,-
900 have been recently manufactured for
a European government for the arming Of
cavalry The present widespread rebellion in
our own country caused the Inventor 10 offer
hem 10 our government. They were submit.
ted to the proper department, and approved Of
and purchased, and 1t g expected that the
President will shortly call into tho service Of
the United States $1,000 cavalry. to DO fur
nished with the grapnel as an additional arm.
With this destructive weapon they will bt
abls TO cut in pieces and annihilate 200, 600 Of
the best Infantry that ever entered field.
