HoxoRs TO THE WESTERN SOLDIERS.

HoxoEs TO THE WESTERN SOLDIERS
Tine Western men fight like heroes
Old soldiers aud new recruits are alike
IN earnest aud almost eq tally eth.:ien,
Ill the battle field. One of the reg;
mects that stood the bravest and suf:
tered the worst at Fort DDnelson. had
been organized less than month, and
was raw in everything but heroism.-
The officers of these men have no doubt
of their courage. They know that at
any hour they can be led against the
cnclny's batteries. No lon. period of
preparation is required to make them
bit to tight for their country. A. yet,
the great achievements Of the war have
mainly been the work Of Western men.
We trust, however, that the men OF
the East may soon have large oppor-
tunities. to prove themselves IF the
same manly stock. As the history of
the conflict now stands, the glory of
lofty daring and Of noble deeds for
freedom is not equally divided between
the two sections.-Ncu York Tib

people OF this singular village seems to
be jealousy, and the consequence is q
continual warfare upon each others

too poor or too stinsy to buy a license,

criminals at large because it would or
might cost the county something to
convict them. The village is very
