1t has been asked-no doubt by one OF

than pins.-They are liable to be "cast

values of wrappings and steel, that have
performed so honorable an Office to the

going to suggest; Would it not be well,
in the present unadvanced state Of clvili-
zation and scierce, to appropriate spare
lot of earth, where these once honored,
but now caxs-off relics Of oar sparkling
beauties, might be gathered, in decency
and silence-and there covered with ga
little earth for charity sake f"-At some
distant time, when these worthless of our
race, the real descendants of Scott's old
mortality stated upon .6e honorable voca-
ton of searching among oui old ruins for
valuable relics to make up history, what
a treasure to such minds would such a

This wednesday, is the day of the
grand review. There is much specula-
tion just now as to what portion of the
army will be sent home. This we sup
pose will soon be set at rest There is no
need for an army in the east Those,
therefore, that are not sent to Texas,
where there may still be some trouble,
will most likely be discharged. We trust
that this may be the happy lot of all the
volunteer forces Before the Citizen
reaches its readers again, we hope to be
able to announce definitely the disposi-
tion made by all. Let our friends at
home rest contented, and assured, that the
government will not require the services
of any day bnger than the interest of
all requires.
