The next Duty Of Loyal Men.

At the present writing the election is
still progressing, and we can, Of course on
ly guess as to its results. We feel, how
ever, a moral assurance that the electors of
Wisconsin, New York, Minnesota, and in
other states, have given an emphatic vote
in favor of supporting the government and
of vigorous prosecution Of the war to the
end of the rebellion.
In so doing they have done nobly and
have discharged an imperative duty. But
this sort Of support is not all that is re-
quired in war like this. We must fill
up the thinned ranks of our armies, or cur
Support of the war;" will be but bitter
mockery. Declarations Of loyal devotion
must be made good by acts of patriotic sac

a shame to the utterers.

Sentinel Of the day next following the No.

the Sentinel struck draft fewidays after,
he couldn't see the necessity of actics duty

The Sentinel, as usual, though an excellent
newspaper, teens with rough words towards
others who are reluctant to face the foe.

A man went to Philadelphia some years
ago, exhibiting six boys and girls, but all OF
them were dressed in girls clothes. They
were all so much like girls in appearance that
he made money betting that no one could tell
'tother from which. An lrishman went out
and returned with dozen ofapples. Throw
ing one TO each of the children, he observed
that some of them caught them in their hands ;
these he said were boys. Others held out
their aprons these he said were girls. Pat

MISCELLANY.

OLD ARES LAST JoKE-A friend has re-
lated w us the following excellent joke and
youches for its truthiulness:
A few weeks since Il Colonel was dismissed
from the serxice by order of the President,
upon charges OF disloyalty. The Colonel feel
ing that he had been grossly mlsrepresented
by malicious enemies, secured papers from
mum Der of our Generals and other influentil
men reiuting the charge aud requesting his
reinstatement, and repaired TO Washington TO
submit his case to the President. Alter the
usual ceremony, an interview was granted
and the President received his papers, re-
questiug him to call again in the course OF
few hours, during which time he would give
his attention to the case. The Colonel called
AT the appointed time, and was received by
the President and informed that his papers
had been carefully exmined, that the evidence
they contained was satisfactory, and injustice
had evidently been done in dismissing him
The Colonel was thereupon reinstated. The
President put the following interrogatories to
the Colonel:
"Now, Colonel, have acted upon your case
andI know you 10 be one OF my most bitter
political opponents. | desire to ask you if
you are convinced in your own mind that |
am honest, and desire to do justice to all par
ties regardless OF their political proclivities,
and whether you believe that / have acted
impariiaily throughout my administration?
The Colonel replied II am prone tn ac-
knowledge that you have done me justice,
that you are honest, and have always done
what you deemed right and just in all such
cases:r
well, Colonel" replied the President, "you
are evidently satisfied OF my loyalty and
integrity, and yon have perhaps, been wrong
