,,',I. SKETCH OF COL. ULINE. ~ -,-g,
Colonel Uline entered the service in the sum
mer of 1861 as private, and has won the po-
sition he now holds by merit alone. He has
participated in all the battles In which his reg
iment has been engaged, and has never been
absent from the field Of duty single
day, with the exception OF a veteran 1ur-
Tough of thirty days last winter. uy AT
Mill Spring, siege of Corinth, PerryVlle'
Chickamauga and Mission Ridge, and numer-
GUS other minor engagements his bravery was
conspicuous and ELECTED the warm colmmenda-
ton of his superiors in commando He made
the trip through Georgia with Sherman, and is
now with his Regiment at or near Savannah.
Hundreds of the young men Of st. Paul know
him intimately, and have watched his career
with intense interest, and were rejoiced at an
opportunity of testifying. their regard for his
gallantry in the field. They did this without
intending any reflection on the other brave
officers voted for and who may be equally de-
serving public testimonials Of regard. r u

! There hiss been much sickness IN the
Regiment of late, and several deaths have
occurred since ! wrote you last. Until
quite recently we have had nothing but
general hospital, DR.. Mcmahon in charge.
A few days ago the sick Of our Regiment
were removed to one Of the churches,
since which they have improved rapidly.
DR.. Morris has charge Of the camp, Dr.
Mcmahon the hospital. .. NJ.
Lieut.. Craig, Of Company H. died in
hospital a few days ago, and lis body was
sent home. He was fine man, and his
loss will be deeply felt by the Company.
COL Gilfllan commands the post. His
quiet, gentlemanly demeanor has won the
confidence and respect Of both citizens
and soldiers. "' '''' 5'''A
Some time since saw an article in the
Press censuring Lieutenant Colonel Ball
for some alleged misdemeanor in his off,
'cial capacity. Whatever might have been
the motive of the writer, it was both IN
just and ungentlemanly, either in a, milf
tary or civil point of view. Any man
guilty of penning an article like that
against a superior officer, either because of
his entertaining or harboring political sem,
timents antagonistic to his own or from q
petty personal spite, dishonors the "blue"
he wears. Those two interesting cases -
spoken of by the correspondent were both
exaggerated and misrepresented To those
who know Col. Ball BEST, such an article
will have no weight in their scale of COM
mon sense bnt to stranger, coming as it
does from the regiment, unless corrected,
it might lead to wrong impressions. In
short, we can say of him he is gentle
man, fine officer, good disciplinarian,
and brave man. The curse of our army
has always been incompetent officers but
had we no worse officers in the army than
Lieutenant Colonel Ball we should have !,
but little cause for censure or complaint.
a, rum0r was ahoat in camp that Adju-
tant Brown was going to leave US, but it
proved to be without foundation, much to
the satisfaction of all. Should be leave, it
would be difficult to fill bis place. He is
good man, a competent officer, and de-
serves promotion. ..sn 70
Our mail arrangements of late have
been out OF order owing to the destruction
OF bridge by the rebels at DIN. It has
been repaired and trains are running reg
ularly. We get mail twice day in
the morning from Nashville, and at night
from Louisville, No doubt much mail
matter gets lost from being imperfectly
directed. The word Minnesota should be
written in full, not emitting to put on the
company to which the addressed belongs.
And in conclusion, we would ask those
having friends in this or any other regi-
ment-while enjoying the comforts of
pleasant home in cioilised life, not to for
get them, but write-write-
to one and all we'll wish happy new
year. ..a . N.

Here it is seen that the total expenses of
the British Government for the thirteen
years from 1903 to 1916, inclusive. were
$5,799, lie, 275, or the round sum of 800
millions, being 446, 100000 per annum.
But this was gold, or nearly 30. There
was no sensible depreciation of the cur
rency up to the year 1910, and it never
exceeded, if it reached 25 per cent. AL.
lowing an average of 20 per cent for the
whole thirteen years, we have an annual
expense of about 375, 900, 900 of dollars in
gold, equal to S25, O0O, 900 of our present
currency, and Of this amount only one
third was obtained by loans. Two-thirds.
or $55O,0OO per annum, were raised by
taxes. This was the average for; thirteen
years. For the year 1916 the taxes were
not far shert Of six hundred and fifty mil
lions of dollars in greenbacks. =
The population of Great Britain in 1918
was about eighteen millions; ours in 1865.
half century lateR may be estimated at
fifty per cent. more, exclusive of the rebels
Will it be believed that our wealth ia not
as great now as wac that of England f;ftv
years ago, after more than twenty wears,
WARP and are we not able to pay an equal
amount Of taxes?
AS shown, England borrowed only one
third OF the money she wanted, and vet
she borrowed more than any other mower
engaged in the wars of Napoleon. France
even, and Germany paid in cash LARGER
portion OF their enormous expenditures
than England did; that is, they raised At

Would it not be well for US to study this
lesson? su 'A''
The British Government did not desire
direct assistance from an irredeemahle

then in circulation in England, were not
issued Dy, or on account of government
but by the Bank Of England. Thew were

Burning OF q viii.
The Delaware Republican SAYS;

A few days ago the will of the late Thos.
Jamison, who resided near st. Georges,
was burnt under the following singular cir
cumstances: Mr.. Jamison, recently de-
ceased, had left his large estate, about a
hundred thousand dollars in value, princi-
pally to his sons, leaving his daughters,
three in number, only six thousand dollars
each, coupled with the strange condition
that the amount should be forfeited if they
married without the consent of the execu-
tor, Mr.. Thomas j. Craven. The will was
drawn by Charles B. Lore, ESQ.,, and wit
messed by Mr.. Eli Biddle. TWAS read after
the burial of Jamison. ..a-
A few evenings afterwards the young
ladies sent for Mr. Craven, and desired to
look at the will. He went there and found
hot fire in, the stove, table opposite,
with seats on the side near the stove for
the ladies, and on the further side from the
stove for himself One of the ladies stated
that she wished to examine some items,
and requested the will to be handed to
her. Mr.. Craven complied with her re-
quest, but suspecting her intention, moved
to the opposite side of the table, and sat
alongside of her. q srssap --.
She examined the will carefully, when
be perceived Miss Anne Jamison open the
stove door. He at once moved to take
hold of the will, suspecting her intention,
when his suspicious were allayed by her
asking her sister for the poker, thinking
she only wished to poke the fire, he felt
rather ashamed of bis suspicious, when he
was handed Hnpe''s Magazine to look
at. This for moment diverted his at
tention, when, in an instant the will was
handed to Anne, with the leaves all
opened, and thrust into the hot stove, Mr..
Craven pushed on one side, the light was
put out, and the win, before he could in
terfere, destroyed forever.
The will has not been recorded, but
Charles B. Love, Esq has a copy. The
ladies say they would not mind the small
amount of money left them, but they do
object to one not connected with the fam
lily having anything to say in their matri-
monial arrangements. The case will be
heard before the Register, and more than
probably come before the Court at New
Castle. 90 'i ..@ ri-e -
