OPKEwIGGLE DiscouRsETH.-N otlIing, however
ominous at first appearance it may be of disaster
eventually impedes the progressive spirit of the
cause of Right. All the important military
movements of the day have at first created in
the minds of some distrust for the final result
even so with late strategic movements of the
command in Davis county. We expressed fears,
but they are, happily, dispelled by the following

hence our readers may expect to be reliably
posted in regard to any forward movements"
which may be contemplated. We are truly glad
to learn that the "high pressure system of run

regard to the specimen of military strategy allu-
ded to, in view of the circumstances, or thoughts
are APPLY expressed by the German friend spoken
of-Orpheus G. Kerr couldn't beat it. As
Opkcwiggle is an irresponsible soldier we
are little backward in saying that the love
evinced in his mode of addressing us is recipro
Gated, lest we might be accused of endeavoring
to incite."

junction, and that all that is wanted to restore
peace and harmony is the appearance of Federal

who is very DESTROYS of protecting the people OF

but, really Dear UNION think it is poor strategy
in your military men to keep citizen soldiers from

throwing obstacles in the way of soldiers coming
to Your city to spend their money, it would be
much better for YOU to try and have The ferry to

but it is very likely that l do not take proper
view OF this matter, in a military way. The
citizens of Ogden think the present course of
your military friends is just right for them.
overheard two of my German friends talking
about this matter: one asked the other ''What
