"NARRY A FEATHER," 1t is painful
tale to relate. A few days ago, and gall
liant party, armed cap a pie, left our city for
the perilous hunting grounds of Port Louisa.
Their names "were not unknown to chivai-
ry." Their falchions had flashed amid the
fame and smoke OF the horest battle fields
of the great rebellion. Their prestige was a
synonym of victory. Sundry titles were at
sached to their escutcheons. They we're &C.
knowledged Nimrods, and all that seemed
necessary to secure the spoils of the chase,
was, like Caesar, to go, and see, and gobble.
They went. They left our city with hearts
buoyant with hope, and with the usual little
