As many Of our soldiers as possible ought

and the Crimean wars showed that the ncCcs

every year There is no more usesu! weap-
on invented, in many respects, than the re-
yolver in its present state OF perfection and
there can be no doubt that in the engage

very important part. 1t is not mere skir-
mishers arm but is capable Of beng used
with timely and decisive etctin pitched con-
tiicts. Some have supposed that soldiers
armed with rcvolvers would be in danger Of
not acquiring and maintaining the facility Of
loading muskets which is indispensable. But
tbs appears to be one Of the chronic class OF
objections that mart;nets will never get rid

Let everybody remember, then, that /,
good revolver will be welcome and exceed

That Old BrOadsWOrd.

The Chicago Tribune recalls the following
incident
"Once upon time. when the since warlike
and terrifcally redoubtable Brigadier Gener-
al Shields challenged the then modest law
Yer, Abraham Lincoln. to fight duel with
him, whereby his wounded honor, bleeding
like highly vascular stump after an ampu
tation. might be scabban over, Mr. Lincoln
quite unexpectedly accepted the belligeren,
proposition Of his adversary, and being un-
learned in the use of the pistol, with which
Shields was familiar, sought, as Potter of
Wisconsin. did twenty years later, put him
self on footing of equality with the man of
war, by choosing the weapons with which
neither could boast any skill. He named
broadswords. The place Of meeting agreed
upon was ali uninhabited island in the Miss
issippi, near Alton. The General and his
party were, as they supposed, early on the
ground but Mr. Lincoln was there before
them, and with coat eff and broadsword in
hand, was choppns down and clearing off
the obnoxious weeds and troublesome under
bush with which the spot was ovcrgrown. to
the end that the fight might 90 fairly on. This
coolness and the timely intcrposition Of
friends put a stop to further proceedings, and
peace was restored.
In ''improvins' this incident, the Tribune
says Of the President:
The veil which has hidden his movements
from the public is lifted at last. and We see,
joytully enough, that during tke whole of the
last month, with ak in hand ard shirt sleeves
tucked up, he has been engaged in laying
low the foul growing weeds with which the
rich corruption of the Buchanan a9ministra-
ton has filled ali the places in the govern
alent, and that he is now ready, with the fire
and courage Of true patriotism III his eye, to
accept the alternative which the traitors and
rebels have forced upon him."
