of this county, is member of the lst n. C. Cavalry,
and participated in the battles and skrmshes of
of which he writes. The book embraces the prn-
cipal exploits of the Cavalry in the campaigns of

by of the N. c. Infantry Regiments-the
whole affording short but succinct history of the
campaigns of 1862 and 1868. A few copies may be

casion Of the death Of our late brother
Gen. James E. Blythe. It was made nv

good citizens ofthe Ninth Ward, the tax
payers and good law-abiding citizens,
and at the suggestion Of a lady who has
herself been sufferer, We make another
appeal, respectful but earnest, to the City
Fathers, for good dry sidewalk across
the Canal on Locust street The cross.

sons living on Locust or Walnut streets
are compelled to wade through it or go

Council may fully appreciate the state
of the case in all its horrid deformity
and muddiness, we respectfully suggest
that they, this morning, have their boots
nicely BACKED, boots that have cost them
from so to SIS, and that they then
wade across that quagmire.
If their hearts are not moved with
sympathy for the Ninth Wsrders, then
we shall believe they are eallous
If this appeal be unheedsd, then shall

sentation Of the case.
