CONFEDERATE ASSOCIATION
| At regular meeting of this association,
to take action in regard to the death of
| Gen. w. S. Rosecrans. the following sem
tments were unanimously adopted:
"Among the great leaders of the union
armies Gen. Rosecrans was conspicuous
| for all the qualities that brave men love.
| Courageous, chivalrous, magnanimous, he
commanded the affections of his own SOL
diers and compelled the admiration of the
Confederates. His brilliant record illum-
ines his countrys history. His justice
| and consideration for defeated people
have endeared him to their hearts.
"Our own camp has experienced his no.
BILE courtesy. We were his friends, he was
ours. In common with all of our fellow
citizens throughout the union, we mourn
the nations loss, but we feel personal
| bereavement in the death of this truly
great man, who, among the latest acts of
his glorious life, remembered us and sent
us his kindly greetings, jewel in the
crown of his splendid career. In testi-
mony of the respect and affection we bear
| for this exalted patriot and Christian SOL
dier, we will place a floral decoration upon
| his bier and will attend his obsequies in a
| body.
| Resolved That this tribute be spread
upon the records of our camp, and a copy
be sent to the family of this hero, whom
we proudly hailed as friend.

her bottom is firmly fixed on rock, and
the wreckers have been doing everything
in their power to repair the hole, so that
she can be fioated Commodore Watson
asked a few days ago for more cement
and other material, and they have been
shipped TO Guantanamo.

in the profession he realizes the hardships
of woman's work, and the disadvantages
under which she labors because of the
weak, delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism His immense prac-

upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care of their
health, so long as that care required the
repugnant examinations and local
treatments insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years of study he invent
