at Perryvie at Stone river, and to the support which
az Cd sol

Of mutual admiration Cheers) But can refer 70 the
recent associations connected with these gallant
and noble armies during the whole campaign which pene
rated the very of the enemys country and killed
the three armes-the Army Of the Tennessee the Army
OF the Cumberland and the Army Of the 0hio-n front

command Of that peerless leader Sherman. tGreat
cheerng Together they marched from Chattanooga 10
Aanatwo OF them together from there TO the sea the

Mn. CHARNAN-Considering the well known relation
between Mars and Venus am surprised that the toast
TO the ladies' was not assigned TO one OF these martial

brave should be the foremost to eulogze the fair For
myself confess TO tmidty, which trust Is not
cowardice II s the patoons that alarm me- and mot the
single harpshoote and 10 respect 70 capture or rather
captivaton, would much prefer being surrounded by
one than BY numerous CIRCLE though the danger
probably diminished by the numbers The unhappy war
from which the nation has happily emerged has fur
renewed examples Of the influence Of wivcs and
sweethearts both for good and FOR evil We heard some
