regiment parade, and then has the effrontery
to utter his blatant brayings. too absurd to

by this Dromio evidently invites reply, and have
no doubt the Seventh will produce some champion to
step forward to teach "Englishman" that IL he de-

Many of your readers have no doubt heard the
story of the Englishman and the Yankee-the former
of whom was somewhat given to bluster and re-
marked to the latter. "well, suppose we English
men will 80 over and thrash you Yankees shortly"
TO which the Yankee merely replied. WHAT aginY'
This story was brought to mind by tho communities

inst. regarding the Seventh regiment and inquiring
"Why there is such fuss made about them and
their new armory, &c Now. have not the slightest
objection to the Englishnan enlightening himself
on the subject and feel that he obtained
the necessary information in the note which
you appended. but when he says. ''Why,

have gone South and found quantities of Southern

ments, could lick a dozen yankees" but in the
light of subsequent events these statements did not
prove to have any foundation in fact There is of
not tue slightest doubt Of his assertion that

he calls the members of the Seventh? Why not go
