THE NEW GESERAL-IN-CnIEr.-The
new general.in-chief Of the armies Of the

military work on "Bitumen and its Uses,"
&c. In January, 1915, he was appointed
first lieutenant, and during the year he was
selected by the committee Of the Lowell
Institute at Boston, TO deliver one Of the
regular courses of lectures, the subject be-
ing " Military Science and Art" These
lectures he compelled in neat volume dur
ing the following year, adding thereto a
lengthy introduction on the g Justifiableness
of War" The work contains much valua-
BILE elementary instruction, as well as abb
undance Of historical illustration, and is
written with ability. In 1917 he was bre-
vetted captain for gallant conduct in affairs
with the enemy on the j 9th and goth days
Of November, lS47, and for meritorious SER
vice in California. lie was secretary Of
state of the territory of California under the

modore Shubrick in the naval and military
operations on the Pacific coast in lS47 and

Carlton" says in the Boston Journal
Of July 9:--It was Vermont, under Gen.
Smith. who poured upon the enemy's flank
with such terrible effect on Sunday. Wa
terloo nor Borodno saw no braver fighting.
The men of this generation are not degen-
Grated in physical vigor, heroism or cour-
age. Civilization, long years of prosperity,
of commercial transactions, have not dwarf
ed us. After a half century Of peace we
are still great-hearted in war-not for love
of glory, not for conquest; we are not in
termeddlers in the affairs of other nations,
like the foreign monarchies but to preserve
the garenered wealth of ages-to save lib
erty--to hand down to all who shall follow
us a priceless boon, bought with blood, like
the gift of the son Of God. 1t is this which
makes men great in this strife, v hich makes
this a holy war, and which through all COM
ing time will keep green the graves Of the
fallen, and forever blessed their memory"

Connecticut, Maine and New Hampshire
furnish their troops with Lambert's tour
niquet. This simple instrument, if in the
hands of every soldier, or every second
soldier, would save in year great many
valuable lives. Multitudes of wounded
men die from bleeding on the field, when
tourniquet, for the application of which
there should be instruction and practice in
camp, would stop the bleeding in mo-
ment, and unless bones were broken, per-
nit the wounded man to walk off and take
care of himself. Lambert's tourniquet is
the cheapest, and it seems to us, the best
in the world. 1t is the best of which we
have any knowledge, certainly, and can be
carried in the pocket as easily as pair of
mittens.

THAT's RIGHT,--SHow UP THE ScoUN-
DREL.-The Caledonian some weeks since
cautioned its readers against one DIR. Mil
Ter, travelling physician and lecturer
shocked that it should be intimated that the
Doctor was not all he should be, the editor
has taken some pains to trace him oct, and
says:
1T is due the public that his rascality
should be more publicly exposed. 1t ap-
pears that while this Miller was at Keene,
n. H., two sisters, young ladies from a
neighboring town, one of whom was some-
what out of health, visited him for profess
sional advice. He told the young ladies
that be could restore her to health; and for
this purpose she put herself under his care
for treatment. Ii is sufficient for the pub
lie to know that under the specious guise Of
a medical adviser this eonsummate villain
accomplished her ruin. When her friends
ascertained the facts an officer was despatch
ed for the perpetrator Of this outrage. lie
was overtaken at Lancaster, instead Of
spending the remainder of his natural life
in the state prison, as he should be male 10
do, he was let off by paying the sum of five
hundred and fifty odd dollars. From our
informant, who has since visited the town
and talked with the neighbors of this great
ly wronged girl, we learn that the family Is
much respected and in good standing in that
section, and that the chracter Of the young
ladies' was above suspicion. We withhold

A ELInIsY rRIck.

The rebel-sympathisers, in order to cheat
the honest sentiment of the people, and give
II false coloring to their designs, have placed
the name of Azariah II. Quinby upon their
ticket for Mayor. They have not the small.
est idea of electing Mr.. Qunby, hut hope, by
nsing his name, to gain strength for the re-
mainder of their ticket, and thus, possibly
carry portion OF it in some of the Wards.
Voters look out for this attempted trick.
DO not let any personal feelings interfere
with the duty you owe 10 your country.
Throw men and parties to the winds and
stand by the insulied flag of the Union To-
day. 10 defeat Mr.. Gn.rN would be to give
aid and comfort to the enemies of the Union
and strengthen greatly the rebel cause in
Delaware. II is we'll known that we have
traitors in our midst organised traitors,
and upon the very first intimation of success
On their part, or whenever they may feel
themselves strong enough, they may desc
late our borders as they have done in Ken
lucky and elsewhere, by attempting TO take
Delaware into Davis traitor confederacy
Watch them narrowly, If we fight them
successfully to-day with ballots, il will avoid
the necessity Of meeting them hereafter with
bullets.
Remember voters, every vote given for
the Quinby ticket is u vote iu sympathy with
the secession party. The watchword oil
every true man to-day should be

and glory that arise from those bloody fields
in Virginia, send greeting their approval and

Let us remember that the eyes of our brave
soldiers are turned towards Delaware, the
only true and loyal Southern State in the
Union. They are proud of her position,
They expect great things of her in these
perilous times, aud it will stimulate their
courage and manly devotion to the flag OF
the Republic to know that the conflict of
bullets in defence Of the Constitution and
the Union, is sustained and cheered by the
conflict of ballots ut home. Fellow-citizens.
let us give the army these tokens of our ap-
proyal OF their patriotism Let us tell the
soldiers who are now enduring prvation and
suffering on the field, that we do still re-
member and are grateful for their many
deeds of yalor and selfsacriflce and that
WE WILL STAND BY THEM, and
elect 10 office men who, being true to the
ilag Of the country, will do all in their Off
eial power to alleviate the suTerings of the
families of our brave volunteers Every
ticket voted to-day, headed with VINCENT

dorsement Of the liberal policy of our city
