WHAT BECAME OF THE BLANKETS "A
young lady went to Washington, several
weeks ago, to visit her husband, who is in
the army, and while stopping at hotel, she
observed that the blankets on the bed had
rather a familiar look, and on examination,
discovered her own name on the margin, and
recognized them rs the same she had sent to
her husband some time previous, but which
I've bad never received.

The LYONS OF CoNNEoTIoUT.-Some in
teresting facts have recently come out con-
corning the number of persons related to
the lamented General Lyon, and bearing
his name, who are now in the army
There are thirty persons bearing his name,
and related to him, aOw in the service, de-
scendants of Ephraim Lyon, of Connect
cut, lawyer by profession, and Lieuten-
ant in the Revolutionary war. These are
all in the Connecticut regiments, and many
of them from the same county.
A young nephew of General Lyon, boy
fifteen years old, named Arthur, enlisted in
the Ninth Connecticut Regiment immedi-
ately after the Generals remains were taken
home and buried in his native town. Ar
thur was at school, which he left the next
day after the burial, TO join the regiment,
saying he had no idea of leaving his school
to fight until he saw his Uncle Nathaniel
lowered into the grave. From that mo-
ment he was seized with desire and pur-
pose to enter the army and avenge his
death.

The enemy appeared 5000 strong and
opened with cannon on our forces, but their
balls passed entirely over them.
Our batteries were immediately got in
position, and we opened Gre on the rebels,
when their entire force broke and fed, ford
ing the creek in great confusion, but keep

The object of the reconnaissance being
accomplished, the troops returned. The
whole country throngh which our troops
passed was formerly the garden spot of
Virginia. 1t is now perfectly devastated,
and but one house was left standing. The
houses, fences and trees have been burned
by the retreating rebels.
There are no signs of the Merrimac yet !;
and from her long delay, the opinion is
gaining ground that she win not come out

Reasons Way ! SaaiI Vote EGF AlFs
- Baker for Mayor
LIST. A good Mayor like a good Sheriff
should always serve two terms; the public
are benefited by it.
ID. Mr.. Baker has served one term, has
brought good order out of great
confusion; has always been found at his
post has proved himself competent, hon.
est and faithful.
Sd. His three years experience is the
public property fthe citizens, and is ofgreat
value, as it will enable him to avoid the
expensive blunders, whichA new man, " no
must serve an apprenticeship, is sure to
make.
4th. 1t is no matter that the question of
Old or New Charter has been, just now,
Withdrawn from a vote The fact that the
question was raised, shows the necessity of
having a Mayor who is strong for the pub
lie schools.
9Th. The orphans of our fellow-citizens,
now laying down their lives on every bat
tie field and in every hospital, must be ed
ucated by the country which their fathers
are dying to save, and the American
native or adopted-who would now, by
word or deed, strike blow at our Public
Schools is unworthy the name of "eitizen'
and only ct for a slave.
9Th. It is true that Mayor Baker is plain,
blunt man, and thereby sometimes makes
enemies, when he ought to make friends
that he is no politician; that he could not
electioneer if he should try, and that he
would not if he could. But at this time
when the very existence of the government
is at stake; when neither the President mol
the Governors of States ask candidates fol
appointments to the highest offices wha
their politics are or have been, but simply in
quire whether they are honest and sompe
tent, and in favor of " the Union, the Consti
tuition and the enforcement of the Laws
in such crisis as this, the man who can b,
politician, who can still plot and schem,
for the advancement of mere party is eithe
knaVe or FOOLS either more or less thai
a patriot. 1t is true that Mr.. VIM. Bake
does not belong to this style of man, and
for one, am willing to honor him for it.
9TH. /, unfortunately, pay taxes to con
siderable amount, and on unproduetive cit.
property. l am directly interested in thi:
believe, with Mr.. Baker for Mayor, M
taxes will be less for the next three year
than with any new man whomsoeves il
that Office. At the same time; believe til
credit of the city abroad will be equal,
well maintained: and I believe that hi
election will be of great advantage to tn
Schools.
9Th. Against my friend, Mr.. johnson,
will neither say nor insinuate anything
except that think the present the most IN
fortunate of all times in our history to
trying experiments with new rulers, AM
that whilst esteem him as a neighbor,
gentleman and lawyer, should regar
his election to the Mayoralty, at TIL
time, with his present surroundings, as ez
