me to present to the First Brigade their old
commander, who one year ago to-day so hon

When the cheering and rolling of the drums
ceased, the general rode. forward. He was ey-
identity affected. He thanked his old comrades
for their kind welcome-he thanked God that
they were once more permitted to meet after
SO many trials and deadly perils. He spoke
of the good name of the brigade-its soldierly
bearing and enyiable fighting reputation. He
referred to the battle of Fair Oaks-to the part
taken by the brigade, and to the the brave
men who fell. Gen. Howard concluded his re-
marks by urging the Importance of duty and
patriotic feeling, and wishing honor and pros
perity to all his old comrades. The brigade
then marched to its camp, and all the officers
and invited guests assembled for refreshments

dangerous diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs

to an extent notfound in any other remedy; howev-

by the S. T. Ecening Journal: u. W. =.
PAPER PRICES PAID IN GoLD.-The cur.
rency Of a country engaged in war tasking
all its energies, necessarily becomes inflated;
with the imitation of the currency comes Of
course, rise in prices of all the products
and property of the country. But where
this operates all over a given Jurisdiction
alike, no evil consequences follow-all things
adjust themselves to the necessity of the
case:
OF course this is the state of things how
in the United States, and the consumers Of
California and the Pacific coast are the only
losers by it. They, in obedience to the die
tation of rich and influential band of men,
interested directly to the injury Of the con:
sumer, consent to buy at the inflated prices;
and to pay in gold. How long can sensi.
bic people be thus hoodwinked ng7'
