HE'LL Do IT l-Gilbert II. Bates, late
sergeant in the Federal army, who made the
wager that he could carry the American
flag from Yicksburg to Washington city, on
foot and alone, started on his long march
Tuesday, 28th of January last Bates was
brave soldier, sound Democrat, and had
sense enough to know that the war was over,
and is now backing his judgment while
some loil humbugist is paying for his
folly Bates, for fear he would be murdered
near Washington by some radical hireling
for political effect, so changed his bet as to
make Richmond, Va, his destination Sensi-
bic to the lastl We hope every dollar the
sergeant wins viii grow into midget of
gold as big as his honest heart, and that the
fool who looses the wager will have to feed
on SHADOW soup and cringe at the feet Of
shoddy charity os long as his miserable life
shall last The people of the South made
10 war upon the American flag
they reverence and love it now but detast
the damnable Fascality eoneosted beneath
SITS folds by merciless set Of hell cats
Bates viii win the wager

whatever hazard The new British Minis
ter, Mr. Thornton, wiil probably be pre-
scented to Mr. johnson, although the ad-
! dresses that are to be exchanged between
the President and Minister Thornton may

response must be made by the British go :
ernment to tie ul6imation of the Executive

war must eventually ensue.
