BILE, if not the latest current news of the day.
AS many of our editorial friends as approve of
the proposed policy of our paper and the object
for which it has been established, will confer
favor upon our soldiers and those who are devo-

the cause of patriotism and humanity, and that
such investments will return profit of thirty,

With these preliminary remarks, hastily

authorities of the camp, Immediately placed the
