Mr.. Editor: AS newspaper men are sup.
posed to know everything, please answer the
following questions
If havelocks are benefit to volunteers,
would they be an injury to the regulars?
If the States ought TO furnish their respective
volunteers, ought not "Uncle Sam to furnish
his regulars with them?
If the recent exhibition, by the regulars at
Fairfax, be a sample, ought we not to be as
careful of them as Of the volunteers?
Would havelocks be INJURIOUS to the navy, in

war is over, remain permanently in the South.
They like the looks of the country. The Maine

like their own is a country somewhat noun
tainous, and having withal wide extent OF sea-
coast. Under the colonization Of such men, the
old mother Of Presidents would renew her
youth. Called back into the line ofloyal States,
she would receive an infusion Of new blood alive
with the instinct of progress. The doctrines Of
her Jefferson, who proclaimed the brotherhood
and freedom of sll the rsce, the aspiration Of
of Washington, who believed he saw in Alex.

Republic, would find new Interpretation and
