said, asking for this authority. The
bill calling for volunteers will probably
be passed by Congress this afternoon,
and the President will then ask the va

this request shall be made, Governor
Voorhees, will probably decide whether
or not the regiment proposed by the
Board of Trade will be required"
Mr.. Cole further stated that if he re-
ceived a favorable reply from the Gov
ernor a public meeting would be called
to organize the new regiment, and that
it would be made up entirely of volun-
teers. The Board, it is said, will defray
the expenses. Many young n middle
aged men are eager to join a regiment
should one be formed.

citation on Schocke's alleys, having only
four men when they started in to play.
Their opponents were the Meadowbrooks,

in on the last two frames, however, with
a score of fifteen, but as the team would

in the result. There was lots of interest
in this game, as it would nave been the

About 20 American citizens are now

side of the river and the Mexican labor
amounts 10 about 100.

Large qusptitie of smelter material
continue to arrive do ly and is crossed
by wagons and on the I bls.
A second furnace will be constructed
as soon as possible.
The force of labor is being incr eased

100 tons of ore will be hauled daily to

True, it has of late years BEEN trans

the case. While it is unfortunate
that minstrelsy has been abu-ed t.

said that Primrose and West whose

"About IL O'Clock we were awakened
