to 60 back, but the sergeant Was unmind-
full of oil the warning and asked
"Won't you exchange newspapers r.
"No," said the rebel, ri have no paper
and l want you to 60 back

continued to advance, saying: "Well,

no business there at a time ike this They
are rich Yen-young enough TO be IN the
army--and who keep out without paying,
any meat or anything else, merely because
they are members. They may, someiof them,
make show ofseryice, if they can get
easy y:and paying places, as quartermastefs,
commissaries, or high Office in safe places.
But they are the very men who have prop
erty to fight for, and we see no reason why
they should not 60 10 the ranks; and We
hope the people VIII have sense: enough 20
force them, il. the next election, to 30 TO
the army, instead Of going. to ailed dgeviile
aud eating goobers. There are. plenty Of
men beyond couscript age who are tit tor'
