bash country, as follows:
Great Western waste of bottom land,
Flat Is pancake, rich as grease;
Where gnats are full az big az toads,
And skee,ers are As big a. geese.
Oh. lonesome. windy. grassy place,
Where buff4loes and snakes prevail

add to the above number of troops little
over 1000 for fresh arrivals last night and this

are in all at least % 900 troops these could be
concentrated at or near Washington. in case of
emergency, in forty-eight hours. There are al
ready nineteen regiments en- route for the Cap

stand ready to enter the lists to battle brayely
for liberty and the Union.
CONDITION AND CONDUCT OF THE TROOPS.

so large force is concentrated, would exist
much dissipation and tebauchery, but it is not

ninety days after the establishment of dividing
line between the two nations, actual war would
begin in different places On that line, and extend
ultimately to both nations. Thus the curse which
