War Telegraphing.

The Union army in 1862 lay camped on
the North bank Of the appahanuock, oppo
site what was to be to the Union soldiers
the disastrous Gcld of fredericksburg. On
the bank of the river, in the extreme
front of the Union line, stood the house of
Mrs. Gray, long rambling stone building,
whose front of three stories faced the river.
Tho roof slopcd stceply toward tho rear,
while the stonc eide was but one story high.
Mrs. Gray herself, au elderly widow, re-
ceived tho Union advance with every de-
monstration of welcome, and 10 the course
of tine it became favorito rendezvous for
young officers. A primo cause for this,
aside from Mrs. Gray's cheerful hearth and
good fare, was tho beauty Of her daughter
SaIlie, brunette Of perhaps twenty years
"A young lieutenant was badly wounded
by those batteries and spent all his spare

to publication in book form, when tho
author. yielding to our solicitation aud i'm.
PEELED by praiseworthy desire to build up
periodical literature in his native State,
consented to dispose of it to Tile Weekly

Many of the incidents narrated in the new
story actually ocourred in the history of the
Eutaw Regiment (27.h South CaroIiua
Regiment of Infantry, G. S. A. and were
leoognized by members Of the regiment
when the story first appeared, as were also
several of the characters, although the uame
OF the regiment was sedulously suppressed
and was not at that time mentioned in the
story in single Instance. The lapse of
time has removed the reasons that then in
duced the omission of tho name of the
regiment, and it is now, with pleasure and
pride embodied ia the title. Of course
many OF the incidents are purely fictitious,
but they are nevertheless true to life, as
illustrating the history of the South, and the
life aud manners of the people and soldiers
of the South during the war, aud wo con-

SALT FOR THE TMRoAT-In these days
when diseases Of the throat are so uuniver-
sally prevalent, and in go many cases fatal,
wo feel it our duty to say word in behalf
Of most cffectual, if not positive, cure
for sore throat. For many years past, in-
deed we may say during the whole of a
life Of more than forty years, wo have been
subject to dry hacking cough, which is
not only distressing to oursclf, but to our
friends and those with whom We are brought
into business contact. Last fall VIC were
induced to try what virtue there was in
common salt. We commenced by using
it three times day, morning, noon and
night. We dissolved large table spoon
full Of puro table salt in about half small
tumberful Of water. With this we gar
glcd the throat most thoroughly just before
meal time. The result has been that du-
ing the entire wioter we were not only free
from coughs nud colds, but the dry hacking
cough had entirely disappeared. We at
tribute these satisfactory results solely to
tho use of salt garglo, and most cordi-
ally recommend trial Of 1t to those who arc
subject to disease of the throat. Many per-.
sons who have not tried the salt gargle that
the impression that it is unpleasant, but

Roman Roads.

The ancient Romans, frem whom modern
nations haze borrowed so much, gave US an
example in building roadwuys and wherever
railways fail to reach, wo might do we'll to
follow. Tho thousands of cities of tho
empire were connected with each other and
tho capital, says Gibbon, by tho public
highways. which, issuing from tho Forum
of Roman, traversed Italy, pcrvaded tho
provinces and were terminated only by tho
frontiers of the empire. The old saying
of these proud Romans was, that "ail
roads lead to Rome," and such was the
literal fact. Between tho wall of Antos
minus (England and Jerualem) from the
Northwest to the Southwest point of the
empire the great chain of communication
was drawn out to distance Of 3,74O miles.
These public roads were accurately divided
by miestones and ran in direct line from
one eity to another, end 30 regard was paid
TO natural obstacles or private property.
Mountains were tunneled and tho largo
bridges over rapid streams were arcLed.
The middle of tho roadway was raised into
terrace which commanding tho adjacent
country, consisted OF several strata of sand,
gravel and cement and was paved with
large stones, or, In somo places near tho
capital, with granite. Such, says Gibbon,
was tho solid construction of tho Roman
highway, "whose frmncss has not entirely
yielded to the efforts Of fitteou centuries"
Their primary object was to mako easy and
rapid the march Of those terrible le.
gions, whose cruel valor conquered tho
world. 1t was over these remarkable roads
that the world first saw the regular institu-
ton of posts. Houses were everywhere
erected at distance Of only five or six
miles and each Of thom was constantly
provided with forty horses, and it was. a
common thing to travel ono hundred miles
day by the help Of these relays over those:
Roman rosds.
