The voters of the First Cong. essional
District will be surprised to see that the
candidates for Congress publish separate
lists of appointments for addressing the
people, instead of meeting each other IN
joint discussion before the people, as has
always heretofore been the practice In
this District, and, in fact, throughout the
entire West The following correspon-
dence which has been handed us for pub
LEGATION, will show why this is. The
learned Judge does not seem inclined to
enter the lists with the Hoosier boy. he
dodges-he skedaddles.

suits. | have held you back that you might give
the death blow to the rebellion which has dis
tracted this once happy country. The patience
you have shown, and your confidence in your
General, are worth dozen victories.
These preliminary results are now accom-
plished | feel that the patient labors of many
months have produced their fruits The army of
the Potomac is now real army-magnificent ia
material, admirable in discipline and instruction,
and excellently equipped and armed Your com
fnanders are all that | could wish. The moment
for action has arrived, and | know that | can
trust in YOU TO save our country. As | ride
through your ranks, l see in your faces the sure
prestige of victory. / feel that YOU will do
whatever | ask of you. The period of inacton
has passed. j will bring you now face to face
with the rebels, and only pray that God may de
fend the right
In whatever direction l may move, however
strange my actions may appear to YOU ever bear
in mind that my fate is linked with yours, and
that all do is TO bring you where l know you
A

EDITOR SENTINEL: notice this morning
communication in the Sentinel signed r. He
complains very much about the annoyance OF
cows in destroying shade trees. This is in
deed very great annoyance. and | too have
suffered by them at least twenty five dollars;
and have gained this much by the operation,
that if persons planting out shade trees will have
strong boxes made. seven feet high, they will not
be troubled by the cows. | have tried it, and
know that It is true and l have the evidence now
around my lot and as We cannot get rid of the
at present. let not spite ourselves by
getting ril of the shade trees. / remember the
trees spoken of east of the market and court
house squares, and said at the time that the boxes
were too low. A box is not worth one cent if it
is so short to permit the cows to reach the tree
above it, as was the case with those mentioned
above also see some one is making move i'm
the Journal relative to planting shade trees on
Kentucky avenue, leading to- the grave yard.
This indorse heartily, and will contribute to the
enterprise This should be done this season
without fail. and if surrounded by good seven
foot boxes ! will warrant them COW proof All
will admit the necessity of this enterprise. Those
who are tired of planting and give up in despair,
can do so, but would advise them to try seven
foot boxes. | am not done. b.
