the 18th ult., writes that the old Impe-
rialist rumor that Juarez had resigned
the Presidency of the Mexican Repub-
lie was again being circulated. The
story is canard, and intended, as in

steamer, hatch up and circulate some
rumor TO foster up Maximilian's cause

One OF the most distinguished fea-

that her character and condition ex-

We have read with much interest
this account of Gen. Sherman's Great

upon the subject had been derived
from newspapers, and it was impossi-

great military movement. Maj. Mich

days occurrences, supplies just the
information that was needed. No one
can read the book and not be convinc-

military chieftains of this or any 9TH
