"four hundred" and it is possible that his repu,
tation will not be injured by the Drayton affair
The Drayton- Borrowe scandal was given to
the world by Borrowers friend Fox, who sold
the correspondence between Drayton and Bor-
rowe to the New York Sun for $1,000. Drayton
married Augusta Astor for her money, and
when he discovered that she was criminally in
innate with Borrowe he did not ask for a separ-
alton, but financial agreement was signed by
husband and wife, which contained this pro-
vision:
The wife has an income of $4,000 per annum,
under all circumstances she retains one-half
She agrees that the other half be placed with
trustees. 5000 of which shall be paid to the
husband, and $12 900 to herself for maintenance
of children; out of the moneys she receives
wife to keep up establishment for husband and
family. The husbands 5000 for his personal
expenses. such as clothing amusements, travel
ing, medical attendance, etc. Wife agrees,
should she hold any verbal or written COM
munication with Mr.. H. A. Borrowe, that the
$4,000 for children shall be paid to the husband
and he shall have control of same and children.
Husband on his part agrees that for the 5000
he will go to Europe with his wife and make
his dwelling place there with her.
The Duke of Morny and other authorities on
dueling decided that husband who would con-
done his wife's offense for money considers
ton had no right to defend her honor; conse-
quently Borrowe should not meet Drayton on
the field.

would have granted South Carolina
Fright of way" to capture the national
capital. The failure of the South was
due to Davis, to whose utter incom-
potency we have the testimony of Joe
Johnston, Beauregard and Longstreet.
Davis military pets were his classmate
Sidney Johnston, Pemberton and Bragg.
Sidney Johnston lost Donelson and with
it Kentucky and Tennessee, against the
sound counsels of Beauregard; Pemberton
lost Vicksburg, against the repeated warn
ings of Joe Johnston; Bragg lost all the
fruits of Chickamauga by neglecting to
follow up his victory, by allowing US to
surprise his army and break the blockade
of the Tennessee and by detaching Long
street with 10000 men beyond recall when
he needed every man to defend his posi-
ton. The failure of Davis to provide
proper defenses for New Orleans, after a
whole year for preparation, lost tn 1t great
city. Davis removed a great general,
Johnston, before Atlanta and replaced
him with daring, energetic division COM
mander, who behaved like crazy or
drunken captain at sea that steers his
ship straight for the rocks.
Davis policy of diffusion cost him the
bloody, barren campaign of invasion"
which ended at Antietam in September,
1852; bloody. disastrous campaign that
ended in repulse at Gettysburg in July,
1868; the bootless invasion" campaign
of Bragg that expired at Perryville in Oc-
tober,' 1862; the Nashville Hood campaign
of invasion of November, 1864; the At
lanta aggressive" campaign against
Sherman. Nothing saved the Confeder-
acy from ruin the first three years of the
war save the fact that Halleck was guilty of
the same military policy of diffusion" an
stead Of concentration. Had Halleck given
Grant and Buell. an unbroken army of 12O,-
600 men at Corinth, Miss, in June. 1862,
Vicksburg would have fallen in ten days
and Chattanooga in sixty days. and the re-
bellion would have been wandering ghost
by the LIST of January, 1858.
Halleck saved the Confederacy from
Davis folly. When Grant once began to
apply the screws of concentration Davis
and his Confederacy collapsed, but the
Southern Confederacy really died of too
much "Jeff Davis"

We're these years regarded as coming with leaps

ENGLAND.

There is no land like England,
Whate'er the light of day be-;
There are no hearts like English hearts,
Such hearts of oak as they be;
There is no land like England,
Whate'er the light of day be;
There are no men like Englishmen,
So tall and bold as they be!
And these will strike for England,
And man and maid be free
To foil and spoil the tyrant
Beneath the greenwood tree.
There is no land like England,
Whate'er the light OF day be;
There are no wives like English wives,
So fair and chaste IS they be;
There is no land like England,
Whate'er the light OF day be:
There are no maids like English maids,
So beautiful as they be-
And these shall wed with freemen,
And all their sons be free
To sing the songs of England
Beneath the greenwood tree.
