A great difficulty, however, lies In the
fact that the Confederate Government has
strangely omitted to provide the Commis-

means OF thus reaching the English ear,
and the whole expense has to be borne by
individuals. In view of the fact that the Eng

pened for us, this omission certainly seems
q strange one. In the revolutionary strGg-
