at the Worlds Fair at Chicago had been killed

very many articles published throughout the
country that would indicate that the corpse
still had little life in il. The first / noticed
was very high Endorsement OF the movement
by the famous Kirby Smith, &. 5. A.; TOR the
Coniederacy still lives evidently, the old rebels
are not united "ex-COnfedeIates" but united
" Confederates")
The last ] have seen up to writing is an
appeal by Col l.. 4. Lee Of the blue and Mai.
Fontaine. Of the gray, for financial aid in the
work. This is Endorsed by such notable Union
Generals as Rosecrans, Howard, COrsc, Veazey,
Caldwell, HickcnloOper, Mattox, Burst, Black,
Aewberry, Gov. Fifer, Of Illinois, aud various
Colonies. The officers have now spoken very
generally through this appeal. Is il not about
time Tor the priyates, those who did the rough
work and took the hard knocks in the late war,

is evidently grand success.
