FROM CAMPFIRE TO CAMPFIRE.

How the Latest War News Wa, scattered
systematically Among the Enlisted.
Ia there n sinole officer irving ins,r,c.
ton Mt West Point who knows that in all
our armies in the civil war there WAS
among the enlisted men. the volunteers.
a system of gathering an,. distributing
news that beat the information we re-
ceived from division and corps head
quarters. both in time and accuracy? 1t
is a fact. And the system was paralleled
by that of the slaves who walked the
plantations living within the Confederacy
o nights. These army news reporters
who walked through the camps at night
to meet other soldiers and gather intel
ligence and discuss the campaign and
make merciless fun and keenest criticism
of their generals, were almost invariably
Americans. frequently Irishmen. | can
not recall ever having met on these night
ranges men of other nationality.
There was a burning desire among
these men to know how other commands
Jared, and to gather accurate informa-
ton so as to correctly Judge of the battle's
tide, the progress of the campaipn and
the morale of the army. The enlisted
men knew of defeats and successes long
before they were publisheu in general
orders. The truth is that the priyates of
the army-the volunteers without bounty.

IMMEDIATE and unconditional release of
the American citizen imprisoned at Paso
del Norte, Mexico, has already been de-
manded both of the local authorities by
the consul at that place and of the federal
government of Mexico, by the United
States minister. The demand has tcep
made by direction of the secretary of state,
and, if it is not complied with,
will be undoubtedly enforced. No
Democratic administration has
ever ye. been remiss in maintaining
the rights of citizens abroad, and Mexico
will probably realize the TACT before many
days. Upon this point. at least, the rec.
ord of the Democracy is unimpeachable.
1t will never tolerate a Trginius affair OF
tail to exact respect by vindicating tn,
rights OF the citizen against encroachmen

And is this size that scorns my love
A pure cold brow, like some white tablet
stone
Wherein has not yet fallen line or stain;
An aureole of glory-giinted hair,
Its knotted golden mass such fatal snare,
That eyes once wandering there, there
fast remain,
E%ntangled in the mesh that lured
them on.
Eyes of deep, dusky purple, like the
bloom
On luscious grape, or pansy's velvet
breast;
Now yelled by lingering droop of lashes
brown,
Now hidden quite by swift lids falling
down,
Now lifted with such scorn, but half sup
pressed,
That headlong hope is plunged into their
gloom.
Lips that seem colored from the culver
ing hearts
OF deep-red passion flowers, and moistened
DER
With dews OF slumb'rous poppy buds,
which pressed,
You'd swoon the soul away to dreamless
rest;
Unfeeling, s~oulless, beautiful Fedore,
Queen OF all sorceries and witching arts;
And she 1t Is that scorns my lovei

The next delegate to congress should
be a man who is in sympathy with the

not work for one particular locality or
class to the exclusion of all else; who
is = stranger to political trickery and
d~emagogism, and who will represent
the great territory of Wyoming with
credit TO its people and honor to him

TO fll that position is Hon. james Nj.

OPINION.

The Buffalo Sentinel disclaims personal
motive in its criticism of Mr.. Beck as a
gubernatorial candidate, and adds:
We spoke of Beck exactly as everybody
in this section knows him; a man totally
unfit and unqualified for the position TO
which he asplres, and if the Journal man
courts his acquaintance a little more he
will confess that we struck the nail square
IN the head.
The same journal makes an important
suggestion with reference to the coming
political campaign:
In a little more than three months off
Gers from a precinct constable to a dele
gate to congress will have been elected.
While the Sentinel has always been a
paper aiming TO stnve for that interest
which will do the most good, we would
suggest that in the meantime the oppor
tunity for discussing the merits and ability
Of aspiring candidates should be taken
advantage OF. No man in business will
seek to employ one who is not equal to fill
II position if he has an idea that the appli-
cant for the position is lacking of the re.
quisite amount of ability, and certainly in
the government of our county or terri
torial affairs the same amount of precau-
ton should be taken.
