Esq, and responded to appropriately by
Col. Thomas. who: expressed the thanks of
himself and staff for the many kind atten-

the uncertainties of war, never to meet
again.

TnE St Paul Press complains Of the vi

know this to be o fault of the Republican,,
of long standing State items as

Press that it is not exempt from censurc in
the same direction, and for an instance
would refer it to the=daily of the 9Th inst.
GESTLEMEN should call at Tobey's,
where they can be suited in the latest styles
Of spring and summer pants stuff. A man
looking at their cassimeres feels an ire
sistible temptation to buy. Ladies can al
so be suited-in dress goods, we mean.
