"I have been engaged for some time in
writing up the campaigns ofthe battalion
of the sharpshoo.ers Of McGo"ap,s Bri.
gade and have about completed the first
draft, which will have to be revised and
rewritten before publication. I regret
that I can not recall the names of the
gallant corps, and have concluded to
write to you aud every sharpshooter that
/ can hear of in order to supply this
deficiency. I want you to put on your
studying cap and gather up every name
you can, and send the list to me, with the
rank and postofice address OF each, if
living; and the date and circumstances
of the death, if dead, that I may be able
to make roll of the whole command.
Every man of the battalion was hero,
aud his name should be embelmed in the
history of our struggle. Do this. and let
me hea. from you without delay. Ifyou
remember an incident connected with
our campaigns where any of our men
behaved with distinguished gallantry or
performed any feat of daring in any OF
our numerous fights, would like to have
them.
"sergeaut B. K. Benson, Of Bruuson's
company, calls to see me very often. He
is drummer, and lives in Dallas, Texas.
DR.. l.. K. Robertson, another member of
the battalion from Abbeville, is living in
scott couoty, this State. I spent two
nights and a day with him last May. he
is a successful physician, and has accu.
mulated good property in Scott county.
These are the only Sharpshooters know
ofiu Arkansas. 1 would like to have a
re- union of the battalion, what do you
think of it ?"

foregoing letter may be sent to Mr.. David

When symptoms of malaria appear,
in any form, take Ayers Ague Cure. 1t
will prevent development of the germs
of disease, and eradicate them from the
system. A cure is warranted in every
instance.
We can finish nothing in this life; !;
but we may make beginning, and be-.
queath noble example.
When the system is debilitated by
disease, it should be strengthened and
renewed with Ayers Sarsaparilla. This
medicine invariably proves itself worthy
of all that can be said in its favor. Sod

Tho people of that country are now
complaining Of the rapidity with which
our waters are flowing down upon them
in irresistible fury, and filling up the
channels of their rivers and causing them
to overflow and produce destructive fresh
cts. They cannot protect themselves
against this evil, because they cannot
reach its source. The obligation is upon
US of the highlands to remedy the evil
by diachargipg our drty to ourselves, to
our neighbors, to posterity and to the
State in this vital matter. While the
lower country needs thorough system of
drainage the highlands have been and
are still being drained too much. They
need protection, and if not in the sense
Of high tariff, yet it is protection of
far greater consequence, by which they
shall be preserved at home and made to
fulfil the ends for which they were or
dained by the Lord Of all the earth in
the hands Of His people, His intelligent
agents.
One of the greatest obstacles in the
way of adopting this needed reform is the
superabundance and, as q consequence,
the cheapness Of our lands. A false idea
Of economy induces the land owner to
cultivate far greater area than he is
able to manage, except in the mcst su.
per6cial, and hence Improbable, manner.
But should the extent of our territory
excuse the folly of our practice? ? By nc
