The Soldiers Aid Fair.

LADIES OF BURLINGTON You perhaps
all know that the Ladies OF the Union Aid
Society are getting up Fair for the bene-
tit of the Soldiers, but you do not know
how much we want your assistance. 1t is
n cause in which you are all Interested
We know that many of you have already
given literally, but we know that your
patriotism is not diminished, nor your
kind feeling for the soldier lessened, and
tired as veal are Of begging, for allow me
to say We are tired Of begging, our regard
for the brave men who are suffering SO un-
complaiuingly that we may continue to
enjoy the blessings Of freedom will not
permit Va to cease our efforts in their be-
half And we call upon you again to aid
US in this good work. I believe good
proportion Of the ladies IN town are already
Interested in the matter but / presume
there are still many who have not thought
much about it, and who, il an appeal were
to come to them from some friend in the
army for some comfort, would spare no
pains nor expense to provide it for him,
and would even forego some luxury If it
were necessary, in order to serve him.
Now we have such appeals come to us
again and again, not directly from the SOL
dier, perhaps, for all concur in testfying
to the patience with which he endures
every hardship, but from the surgeons
and chaplains and sanitary agents who
all bear witness to the urgent necessity for
the supplies which can only be obtained
through such channels. Now will you,
who are living here in your comfortable
homes, surrounded by your friends, suf-
fering no priyations, will you not give us
Of your abundance to provide some little
comfort for the worn and weary soldiers
If you can give but little, give that; every
little helps, and you who can do more
make a special effort and let your donation
be a liberal one. Every lady can do some
thing, and almost every little girl.

The Ladies Of this City hold Fair

A FUGITIVE SLAVE WRITING FOR THE
EpINBuRGH REvIEw.-The last number
OF the Edinburgh Reuie,c contains very
able and interesting paper on the condi-
ton, past and present, of the negro race
in this country. The writer disclaims any
intention to talk politics, treating only OF
the blacks themselves, the influences to
which they were subjected. and the effect
of these circumstances upon their charac-
ter, What is most remarkable is, that the
author of this article is said to be a fugi-
tive slave now in England.
We have great news for the topers.-.
Whisky and brandy can be made out OF

French patent has been obtained for the
purpose and sold to a company IN London.
You take away one-half the hydrogen, add
little oxygen, and presto! you have

Of freedom,
But, if return again to the subject
of the people of Arkansas, you must
not consider me tiresome, for it is one
of great importance to me and my
people. AS an example of the intense
desire of our people to return to the
Union, and have slavery abolished, l
will relate one incident. A regiment
OF 800 Arkansas soldiers who had ser
we'd in Mr.. Prices army returned
home. | was requested to address
them, and did so. These men repre-
sented one-fourth of the State, for
many of them, privates though they
were, were prominent citizens-pro-
fessiohal men, judges of the courts,
Legislators, etc. before the war. At the
close of my address l took vote on
the question Of returning to allegiance
to the old Government with slavery
abolished. And how many votes,
think you, were given in favor? Just
eight Mundredl There was not one of
them who was not in favor of return
ing to his allegiance and having the
curse of slavery removed from off his
State.
Some people of the North have said
that do not represent the people of
my State. But they will soon see that
| do. They will see that / represent
people terribly in earnest in this
matter-a people who, in four months
time, will be back under the old flag
with the curse of negro slavery re-
moved from their shoulders. And
when We arc back, we want people
from the North to come to us. We
will remove the obstruction of slavery,
and invite you, people Of Ohio, to come
to us, and exchange portion Of your
grecnbacks for a portion of our land.
There are fair-haircd, bright-eyed
daughters of Ohio with us, who came
to us years ago and who, during this
terrible war, have waited anxiously
for the appearance of the old flag
They will wait as anxiously for your
appearance, and so will we all. We
need more people in Arkansas-people
to till the broad lands which await
their coming-people to assist us in
bringing that State to prosperity with
in the next five years, such as she has
never enjoyed before. All of which
we intent to do, and shall do.

CONCENTRATES FRED. 1.-The Boston
Courier states that.George Jdques, OF
Someryille, and Daniel f. White and
John Stowell, Of Charleston, Mass,
lately inverted and patented q new,
and, ii is believed. very useful con
ccnirated feed for animals, but more
especially to be used. for horses and
mnles used in the army, and particu-
! larly for the cavalry ON araids,n 1t IL
claimed for this new invention, that it
contains the nutntive elements COIN
monio the ordinary feed of domesti-
Gated animals, condensed into. O very
small space, thus obviatipg the neces.
sity OF heavy transportation. The
horse bearing hisrider can carry con.
jeentrated feed enough to spbsist on for
several days, The water and the in
nutritious parts Of cereals and legumi-
nous seeds are expelled by chemical
and mechanical means, and then mix
ed or compounded with other substan-
ces. until they are thoroughly incor.
porated and made ready for use. BY
pressure a very large amount Of nu.
triton is made TO occupy very small
space, as compared with that original
ly occupied by the parts. The COM
pressed cake as it is called, is covered
with a material impegvious TO water,
thus preventing its absorbing moisture.
1t may be used with cut hay, but for
cavalry excursions of week or ten
days, it may he nsed without hay
Where it is served as part of the regu-
lar ralions at camps, hay or straw
may be used with Il. In the manu-.
featuring of this feed cakes weighing
about five pounds are made, one of
which will serve. a horse twenty four
hours, and furnish him with the usual
amount Of nutrition as ordinarily fed.
Mr.. Jaques has visited the President
aid Secretary Of War, and stated to
them the result Of his invention, and
go favorable were they impressed
herewith. that they have ordered
trial Of it hy portion Of the cavalry
Of the t. s. army, If it should prove
to be us useful as stated, it will great

ton Of feed in the army for horses and
mules. Water, as is well known, con-
stitutes a large proportion of all cere-
ais and other seeds used for feeding
horses and mules this being expelled
! from the elements of this concentrated
feed, must, alone, serve greatly to di-
minish its ordinary weight. Water
can usually be easily obtained when
and where the feed is TO be dispensed.
If this feed on trial shall meet the ap-
provai of the Secretary Of War, then
will It go into use, not only in the ar

THE PRINTER.

B. I. Taylor, Of the Chicago jour
nal, writer whose every word is
poetic thought, thus speaks of the
Printer truly and prettily. In those
pretty pictures of the language, what
word painter 50 artistic, SO exquisite
as he? Read it, think of 1t, and say,
for you cant help it, sit is SO ii" r
The Printer is the Adjutant of

ries Of the wonderful words that can
kindlc Il home rs no song can-that
warm heart us no hope can--that
word we" with a nd-in-hand
warmth in it, for the Author and Ptin-
ter are engineers together. Engineers
| indeed! When the little CUrsican
bombarded Cadiz at the distance OF
! five miles, it was deemed the very tri-
umph OF engineering. But what is
that range 10 this, whereby they bonn

spear and shield therein that commits

gradually on to the last syllable OF re-
corded time. This is to win q victory
from death, for this has no dying in it.
The Printer is called a laborer, and
the office he performs is toll. Oh, it is
not work, but sublime rite he is per-
forming, when he thus sights the
engine that is to fling worded truth

fore dcscribcd-fings it into the bosom
of an age yet unborn. lie throws off
his coat indeed, but we wonder the
rather that he docs not put his shoes
from off his feet. for the place whereon
lie stands is holy ground!
A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago; it wandered to the twilight
feeblcr than a star; it died upon the
ear; but the Printer takes it up where
it was lying there in the silence like
wounded bird, and sends it forth
from the Ark that had preserved it,
and it flies into the future with the
olive branch Of peace, and around the
world with melody, like the dawning
of a spring morning.

months or years, and now must we,
their descendants, give up the strug-
gle, just because we have not been
successful in putting down this rebel
lion in two years? 1t is not only folly
but treason to talk thus. That 50
great an army as we now have in the
field, could be raised and disciplined
in this time, seems almost incredible.
This has not only keen done, but the
army and navy have done more hard
fighting than those Of any other ma
ton, Shall we now give up all We
have gained, and acknowledge the in
dependence Of the South? Never 1t
would be an everlasting disgrace to
Americans; by doing 50 we would
prove ourselves unworthy Of the trust
placed in our keeping. Too many
noble lives have been sacrificed upon
the altar of liberty already, to give up
this great struggle. Let those who
now talk about peace and compromise
be branded as traitors, unworthy the
name of Americans. We want no
compromise or peace until our enc
mics have been whipped into an un-
conditional surrender, and are willing
to accept the terms we propose. This
is the only compromise that loyal men
should speak about-a Union with or
without Slavery. But Union first,
Union afterwards-the Union and the
Star-Spanglcd BanSer, now and for
ever, is the soldiers motto.

A Great Waterfall.

A detachment OF troops recently
scouting in the valley of Snake or
Lewis fork Of the Columbia, discover
cd waterfall, which is said to lie en-
titled to the distinction of being called
the greatest in the world. The entire
volume of the Snake river pours over a
sheer precipice one hundred and nine
ty.eight feet high, thirty feet higher
than Niagara, and the cascade is one
solid sheet Or body The locality Of
this immense waterfall is near the
point heretofore designated as the
GreatS6oshone or Salmon falls of that
river, but they have always been en-.
veloped in mystery. Almost a dozen
years ago tae writer passed along the
Snake river road. For two days we
heard the roaring Of these falls, but
learned no more respecting them than
if they had been in the moon. 1t was
said that there were q series of falls
and rapids, making a descent of seven
hundred feet in seven miles, and the
sound gave color to the report. -.
For hundreds of miles across the
great plain, Snake river flows through
a canon, with vertical walls, hundreds
Of feet high. 1t is only at long inter
walls that salient points are found, by
which the river can be reached. The
road crosses from point to point of tht
bends, only approaching close to the
river when there is 4 chance to descend
for water. From these facts, very few
if any, of the tens OF thousands of ad
venturers that have crossed the plains
ever looked upon the great falls The
late discoverers report beside the inair
cataract many others Of less heigh
varying from twenty to fifty feet high
near by. Some day they will be visit
ed by the tourist and pleasure-seeker
and looked upon, as frequently and a
familarly as Niagara is to-day and j
will be admitted that, with the stupcn
dous grandeur of their surroundings
they are as far beyond Niagara as Nj
agara excels the balance ofthe world

however, in general, less so than in
America. Their noses are sometimes

walk like men, taking long steps look

sometimes very loud. In order to make
themselves look taller, they make their
bonnets stick up above their heads.
