A STATUE FOR GEN. GEO. IL. THOMAS.
Horace Maynard 10 Present the Memorial
10 Congress.

Horace Maynard 10 Present the Memorial
10 Congress.
Many of the most prominent officers and
soldiers of the army of the Cumberland
have prepared the following memorial to
Congress:
TO the Senate and House Of Representa-
tues of the United States in Congress as
senl6Ied:
The undersigned members of the late ar
NV of the Cumberland, most earnestly Pc
tition Congress to aid them in their en-
deayor to erect statue to the memory of
their great commander, the late Major
General George H. Thomas, the hero of
Nashville, Chickamauga and Lookout
Mountain. The great services rendered
by this gallant commander during the war
and especially in the Southwest, are too
well known to every member of Congress
to need particularizing in this memorial.
We trust that the same kind consideration
which Congress has shown to the memory
of Admiral Farragut and General Rawlins,
will be extended to their no less distin-
guished compatriot, George II. Thomas.
The above memorial has been placed in
the hands of Hon. Horace Maynard for
presentation to Congress, for the reasons
given in the following letter:
Hon. Horace Maynard:
SIR: We have the honor herewith to
place in your hands, for presentation to
the House of Representatives, q memorial
of the members of the late Army of the
Cumberland, praying Congress to aid them
in their endeavor to erect an equestrian
statue to the memory of their late COM
mander, Major General George III. Thomas.
We believe you to be the proper person to
take charge of this matter, having your
self had son in that army, and also rep
resenting in Congress the State in which
the most distinguished services of General
Thomas were rendered.
Very respectfully.

Professor Johnson recommends for

salt and TIVE bushels OF dr. lime, under

pose gradually. thus forming chemical

should be made six weeks leiore use. or
still better. two or three mOnths. The

This salt aud lime mixture. when applied
at the rate OF twenty or thirty bushels
per acre, forms M excellent top dressing
