ADDRESS TO THE TROOPS.
HEADo'Rs FIRST CORPS, TRANs-MIs- J
sIssIPPI ARMY, IN THE FIELD,
Dec. 4, 1862.
SOLDIERS: From the commencement
to the end of the battle bear constantly
in mind what ! now urge upon you.
Never fire because your comrades do, nor
because the enemy does, nor because You
happen to see the enemy, nor for the
sake of firing rapidly. Always wait
until they are certainly within range
of your guns, then single out your man,
take deliberate aim as low down as the
knee, and fire. When occasion offers,
be certain TO pick off the enemy's Off
GERS, especially the mounted ones, and
to kill his artillery horses.
| Don't shout, except when you charge
the enemy. As a general thing keep
silent, that orders may be heard. Obey
the orders of your officers, but pay no
attention to idle rumors or the words Of
unauthorized persons.
Don't stop with your wounded com.
rade. The Surgeons and Lnfirmary
Corps will take care of him. DO you
90 forward and avenge him.
: Don't break ranks to plumber. If w
: whip the enemy all he has will b.
: ours. If not, the spoils will be of NJ
: benefit to us. Plunderers and strag
glers will be put to death upon tn
spot. File-closers are especially charged
: with this duty. The cavalry in rea
will likewise attend to it.
e Remember, that the enemy you ell
y gage have no feeling of mercy or kind
r ness towards you. His ranks are CON
t posed Of Pin Indians, free negroes, South
ern tories Kansas jayhawkers, and hire

Free Silver and the 10 to 1 Ratio
Several people have asked us the past
week to explain unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio OF 16 to l." and we
give them the following explanation from
the Outlook, believing it to be the short
est and clearest explanation that can
be made
1.-THE present silver dollar weighs as
much as 16 gold dollars. The silver dol
lar weighs 41212 grains and the gold
dollar 25 and $40 grains. Free coinage
of gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 means that whoever
brings to the mint 41212 grains of
silver or 25 $40 grains of gold shall
receive dollar for it. This was the sys-
tenn prior to 1878, and the advocates of
free coinage claim that the fall in the
price OF silver bullion since that date has
been due to the change in the law, and
that the restoration of the old law will
restore silver bullion to its old price, and
permit the use of both metals for the
expansion of the currency. International
bimetalists accept this reasoning, but
urge that all the leading nations must
reopen their minis to the free coinage of
silver il its former value is to be restored
and silver and gold circulate together at
par"

A Gold Brick Swindle.-Yesterday's
Boston Herald contained very racy
account of how A. L. Bailey of this place
was recently victimized by the purchase
OF two gold bricks, whose alleged value
was $4,000 but whose real value
proved to be a few cents. The sale was
made, so the story ran, through an
Indian who claimed to have dug the
precious metal in Arizona. There were
many other details to the story which
we have not space to print.
1t seems hardly necessary to add, how
ever, that bank president is not fooled
by such common swinde. The victim
referred to was not our townsman, but
man by the same name, Andrew |.
Bailey, who lives in Canada Just across
the Vermont border. When A. L. Bailey
was on his trip to Washington the first of
the week Andrew Bailey came to him,
hoping to find in the st. Johnsbury man
a relative. He was unable to do this,
but in the course of the interview he told
our townsman that he had been victim
lied by the gold brick swindle and sole.
tied his help. A. L. Bailey continued on
his trip to Washington and the two
went to the treasury office and told the
officials their story. Here A. L. Bailey's
interest in the matter ended, but in this
bret time the newspapers had got hold
OF the story and made out that the
wrong Bailey was victimized
A. L. Bailey saw the bricks for the first
time and first heard of the whole matter
when he met Andrew |. Bailey on his
trip last week. His visit to Washington
had nothing to do with the gold bricks,

Beware of Commentators

Who infest the market and are the means of robbing sick people of their money, and what is of still greater consequence of not unfrequently aggra- vating the complaints under which they labor. It is an act of duty we owe to society to warn the people against these dangerous frauds. A little care on the part of the purchaser will protect them from imposition by bearing in mind these facts; Never buy where it is offered in bulk, Gin kegs or iugs) as the genuine Hostetter's Stomach Bitters are sold only in bottles having the handsome steel plate label displaying the combat between St. George and the Dragon, and having at the bottom a miniature note of hand for one cent, bearing fac simile of the signature of the president of the company. Over the cork is a metallic cap, on which is impressed the name of the article, together with A medallion head in the center.

The Lordsburg (N. M Liberal states that the bill introduced in Con- gress to validate bonds ordered by the last New Mexico legislature for the purpose of rebuilding the capitol and helping various Territorial institutions, has been amended m the Senate, at the instance of Senator Brice, validating the Santa Fe county railroad bonds declared void by a decision of the supreme court. If the the bill, as amended, becomes a law, it will prove an incentive to the holders of county railroad bonds in Arizona, notably those issued by Pima and Yavapai counties, to apply to Congress to legalize them, Arizona courts having pronounced them invalid. The fate of the New Mexico bill is, therefore, of considerable inter est to those counties of Arizona which issued bonds for railroad construction. Santa Fe county will stoutly oppose the adoption of the amendment by the House.

The attention of all purity societies ought to be directed to the new light which has been discovered by Mir. Edison. If the use of Crooke's tubes becomes general it looks as if serious injury would be done to the morals of the community, in comparison with which chorus girls in tights, dancing girls in gauge petticoats, and so on, will sink into absolute insignifgance. With this new power placed in the hands of a wicked world it will DO longer be worth while to legislate against the nude, for everybody will be in a state of more or less nakedness. Even the bones can no longer remain in a condition of privacy and retirement The clothing of flesh is eliminated. Even a suit of cast iron ware would be no protection against the new camera fiend.
