HIsToRIcAL.-A celebrated modern
traveller speaks Of hill near Stirling,
Scotland. from which Wallace threw
shot from his guns into the Castle, mile
away. This is a new historical discov.
cry. Old fogy historians always left the
public under the impression that the
Scotch, in Wallace's time, fought with
bows and arrows, spears and bsttle-axes.
Wallace was executed about the year 1904
Gunpowder was invented in 1880, and
guns about the same year. They were
first used in Spain. or SONS accounts say

The President calls for three hundred

forces in the Gulf States.
To capture and to disarm Lee. is, then,
to crush the Confsde racy.
But entrenched as the rebel cohorts are
at Richmond. it will require greatly su-
perior numbers to subdue them. For this
end Abraham Lincoln, President of the
United States. by Proclamation dated
December 21st, 1864. calls for Three
Hundred Thousand Volunteers, to serve
for one. two or three years. to be furnish
ed before the 18th day of February. 1865"

This appeal will 6nd ready response
in every loyal heart. Our people will
answer it, for they have never waited for
a draft. They have anticipated always
the calls of the President, and, a. the de-
msnd upon the State will not exceed.
probably. one thousand Volunteers, We
trust they will not falter now.
These three hundred thousand men are
to be the grand reserve which shall over.

solid peace. leaving the Republic with no
master and no slave.
