regular and unsettled. Liquidations have
evidently ceased for the time being at
least, and there is also disposition on
the part OF the bears to even up their

this, with the favorable statement OF the

General Nelson A. Miles will
be the beneficiary of revival of
the extinct grade Of Lieutenant
General in the American army, in
regard to which the House com.
mittee on military affairs reported
favorably last week. But just what
claims the General has emitting
him to be singled out for such con.
spicuous promotion, neither he nor
his friends are able to advise the
public. Of course, he would not
shine resplendently, should a com.
parison be instituted between him
and Washington, Scott, Grant,
Sherman, Sheridan and Schofield,
upon each of whom was conferred
the distinguished honor, because
of invaluable services rendered
their country, in the successful
commanding and manoeuvering OF
large armies, in which General
Miles is as yet but mere novice,
scarcely proficient in the rudiments
of military tactics.

your fathers rights, which were
contaminated by the horde of ILL.,

your fathers to arms, attacked the
usurping invader in his well nigh
impregnable fortress, where he was
